Yes, if Justin Bieber stayed in Canada I would have no issue with Microsoft supporting him.

As the Lord of Hats I can safely say Canada is not America's hat. Canada is America's funky but styling hair do. The Arctic is America's hat. (It's a beanie btw.)

Justin Bieber for some reason reminds me of Butters from South Park...

You do realize that sponsoring a tour is not the same as a spokesperson, right?

*Stares into the distance*

Whats that i can see??

Hmm looks like a giant padlock heading towards this thread >.>

Yes I do, but do you realize that Microsoft is giving Justin Bieber the ability to come to our country by sponsoring him?

This thread sure went strange places...

You do know that Justin Bieber, like any Canadian citizen, has the ability to come to our country right?
He's not on any terrorist watchlists, he can get a passport. It doesn't take Microsoft sponsorship to come to America from Canada. Really, it doesn't.

I guess that last post of mine was too subtle.

Take the Justin Bieber talk to another thread, in the Off Topic Forum maybe?

Just lock the thread, it's been stupid since the get-go.

Hehe as said in my previous post.

Exactly how i feel about God of War 3, Awesome game but I'm not shelling out the cash for a system that has only one game I truly want. Point in case I can buy pretty much buy every game for the 360 I want so why change systems?

PS3 because 360 exclusives don't interest me, except for Left 4 Dead 2, but I can get that on my PC.

The pc has a lot of ports of 360 exclusives, so I think 360 exclusives isn't an applicable term, they should be called Microsoft Exclusives.

Also, you 360 owners may get a MGS game, but you will never get the MGS soul.

And Konami has forsaken Sony, so what's your point?

Umm yea its not a 360 exclusive if it on the PC.


Dont even know why im commenting, would rather let this thread die, but meh guess i love picking out flaws in peoples posts lol.

Jes' saying.

360 won't get MGS4 and PS3 won't get ME1, a fair trade I would say.

I hate the new focus though, lightning fast action does not a MGS make.

In the future I see each console having only one exclusive. 360 will have Halo and PS3 will have God of War I think. Also, exclusives are a big reason for deciding whih console you get.

I prefer LBP and Killzone. Killzone was more realistic in the FPS view, the sway when throwing a grenade, the sway when sprinting, etc made it more immersive than Halo to me. Another thing was the grittiness in Killzone compared to Halo's prettiness, Reach is more gritty and for that reason I give it more interest than the other Halo's.

LBP is really creative, and no other console has anything like it.

Other than that each console has their respective characters that mimic each other.

Samus~Master Chief~Nathan Hale

Mario~Sackboy~Banjo Kazooie

Dom/Marcus Phoenix~Kratos~ Wario

I think that the PS3 is trying to do everything; online service fee is optional, playstation move=wii, there may be a price drop soon due to the next to PS3's coming out this year, and it also has a 3rd party controller that looks like a 360 controller.

I guess you don't like reading whole posts though. I said that they should be called "microsoft exclusives" at the end.

Actually i did read the whole post, i just decided to pick the flaw in that particular sentence because you said it was a 360 exclusive then said you can get it on PC, which makes it a non-exclusive game. Which in turn makes that sentence somewhat void...

You forgot to capitalize your I's.

Sorry, just had to say that.

Anywho, I put the PS3 ahead due to cost. The 360 has a lower start up, but ends up costing more simply by adding internet service for the comparable consoles ie) 250GB to 250GB.

Also, has anyone noted the reversal of external looks on the 360 and PS3? The PS3 went from shiny black to a matte black and the 360 went from a matte black to a shiny black.

People could get potentially confused.

And what? "accidently" buy the wrong console? Anyone that stupid needs a beating.

Personally, I've thought of doing that for fun.

Another trend to look at is exclusive content for multi-platform games. Batman Arkham Asylum, Red Dead Redemption, Dante's Inferno, Mafia 2, and MoH when it comes out.

The 360 has had limited exclusive DLC so far as I know, the whole GTA Lost and the Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony along with the timed exclusives for MW2 and maybe Black Ops.

Although, I think the 360 version of Singularity came with a free voucher for Prototype for a limited time. Oh well, the PS3 owners will have to make due with a remastered MoH Frontlines when they pick up the new MoH.

Also, Battlefield 3 woot!

If i owned a game store, and someone did that, I'd refuse to refund it, but I would remove said console from their posessions, out of fear that they might hurt themselves using anything electronic.

360 more variety of games that I like. Sorry ps3. I dislike your games....

I look at the Playstation 3 Vs the Xbox 360

I would have to say this.

PS3

+ Free Multi player and Online
+ Internet Browser Built in
+ Bluray Discs Hold more content and Stuff than the Xbox 360s DVD
+ PlayStation Network does not tolerate Hacking, Burnned games, etc. (Sense of Security)
+ Lots of games that are on the X360 are on the PS3 or coming to the PS3
+ You can put a Bigger hard drive in the PS3 (Standard Laptop Drive)
- Not all games have trophies/Achievements

Xbox 360

+ Large Library of games
- You can Modify your console to run Burned Games (Lack of Security)
- You pay for the Online Component of the component
- RROD was never addressed in the new version of the 360 just the light moved to the Power Brick
- The Price of Live is going up...
- Your Discs can be heavily Scratched just by moving the console

Those are my thoughts on the PS3 and the 360.

Not really.

Tell that to the team of 10 people in my Killzone 2 match today who were somehow able to have no less than 30 Combat Drones up, per person, at all times.

You can run them, but any modifications are invalidated whenever new updates come up--and they permaban your console.

- You pay for the Online Component of the component

Yeah, and? I also don't have to rely on having a host with a 100% amazing connection or someone pulling the good old stand-by crap. Unlike PS3 games...

- RROD was never addressed in the new version of the 360 just the light moved to the Power Brick

Actually, it was. If you're stupid enough to let it get close to overheating(we're talking to where the components on the inside are getting burnt out), it shuts the console down. I'd say that's "addressed" the issue.

Other than the issue of the stupidity of some owners.

- The Price of Live is going up...

As is the available content. All(read that right: ALL) ESPN games available via the Xbox Marketplace, no matter your location. I pay $5 with my satellite provider to get any games that aren't locally available.

- Your Discs can be heavily Scratched just by moving the console

...So don't move the console with a game in it while the console is on?
This isn't rocket surgery. The same thing happens when moving a PS3.

Benjamin385 wrote:+ PlayStation Network does not tolerate Hacking, Burnned games, etc. (Sense of Security)

You're joking right? It's easier to hack on the PS3 than the 360 because it uses Linux, and since the online is free, there is no incentive to ban cheaters. Microsoft has been accused of being TOO vigorous in banning people from Live. I have heard no such thing said about Playstation Online, I have in fact heard the opposite.

- RROD was never addressed in the new version of the 360 just the light moved to the Power Brick

Yes it was. As of the third wave of 360's RRoD has not been the problem it was.

- Your Discs can be heavily Scratched just by moving the console

And, other disk readers don't scratch disks when turned sidewise or upside down or shaken like a margarita?

I have just had bad experiences with Microsoft's Console ESPECIALLY in TF2 on the 360. Sorry if it seemed like i was trolling but that is just how i feel about there console. I just like the PS3 Better.

I have bought 3 consoles from Microsoft.

All have Red Ringed and i have received a new Console from Either Microsoft or Square Trade. It is just The disc scratching issue with the newest and "Greatest" Revision of the console aka Xbox 360 slim.

Tilt is up even slightly and it will damage any disc...

Because you're moving the console while it's operating.
I have moved my 360(360s, technically. My first one, which was one of the original launch consoles, finally died in January. It actually outlasted its friggin' warranty, but Microsoft replaced it with a Modern Warfare 2 console with the 250gb hard drive.) from room to room and back again, have yet to have a disc scratched.
Just don't do it while the console is running. It's a stupid thing to do, period, with any kind of disc reader.

If you move a CD player from its standard position to tilting it on its side, it'll scratch the CD.

WOW your launch console lasted a very long time!

I will keep that in mind on the CD thing.

Pfft. I got mine on launch day. Never had a problem She still runs, though that 11 gb HD is starting to hurt

Overheating was the primary problem, and honestly, any machine can overheat if you stack it somewhere with poor ventilation. I know a guy who melted his PC's mother board because he stuck the tower under his desk and it just recycled the same air in and out until the circuits turned to mush

Wait wait wait... you were seriously moving your console with a disc in it... or better yet, with the console actually running? Why don't just throw it out the window while your at it?

Ps3....Rockband seems much better on it. I've played on both and the 360 version just seems weird.

Having said that, I only play expert drums, which is the extent of my console gaming..
