Make sure you don't have any USB devices plugged in such as an iPod, Zune, flashdrive, external harddrive etc. Also check to make sure there is no CD in the Disk Drive.

A picture would help. Like a phone camera or something.

PC is supreme.

Team Fortress 2 and Quake 3 for the win.

and for the older crowd, Tie Fighter, and Monkey Island, and Ultima.

And just for the people in here throwing spec around, a lot of devs have said the PS3 is very very powerful. Unfortunately, the amount of documentation for the PS3 is extremely low. About 6 pages actually. Compare that to the Xbox 360's 150 pages of what can and can't be done with the console and you have a pretty clear idea of which is easier to make games for.

Of course the way Sony does it, is they have you document what you were able to accomplish with the PS3.

So as time goes on you'll (hopefully) see better and better games on the PS3. However, Xbox has XNA, allowing people like you and me to attempt to make a small casual game, opening up game development to more than a large company.

It's very hard to have a game on both systems.
Xbox uses a specialized version of DirectX 9 (so porting your game from Windows or vice versa is no that difficult, since you are dealing with a Microsoft Application Programming interface), while the PS3 uses OpenGL. A better renderer in my opinion, but it doesn't help you take care of sound, input, etc.


Real quick I'll touch on the Ubisoft thing before I go so as to not start a flame war or some such thing.

Ubisoft has done some crazy things. Like attempting to port Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii (They're still trying. They're almost there) and successfully porting Unreal Engine 2 to the PSP (People said it couldn't be done). They also single handedly carved the realistic shooter niche. They took a shot in the dark publishing Ghost Recon and it took off. Terrible FPS when it came to true realism on the PC (I can't see my gun?!? WTF), but they attempted to create a market where their previously was none. Now that kind of agame is all the rage, and they churn out a Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell's more than EA Sports churns out Madden and NBA and other sports games.

I wrote way too much. But just my opinion. Carry on.

Opera because it takes up less memory than FF or IE, or anything else I've ever tried.

Also it's ability to mask itself as IE or firefox is great for fooling websites, because they restrict access based on what browser you are using.
