Oh wait. Why bother? They're weebo garbage. But hey, if they were 360 exclusives--I'd still be dismissing them.

I was trying to be nice, but I'll just come out and say it: don't be a fething racist.

They're just video games.

RACISM? Are you an idiot?

90% of Japanese/import games play exactly the same as they did on the PS, are some form of ridiculous over the top anime styled garbage.

And on another note:

This thread? Garbage since the beginning. If you're going to piss and moan about something and try to(as the OP was) influence future customers--don't pull this "well here's the best parts of MY favorite versus the WORST parts of what you were looking at(and forget their bests--they're not really bests)" garbage.

Honestly--I could care less about my credibility at this point.

I own both systems. I have a fairly big library of games that I personally enjoy. I just find this fanboyism utterly stupid.

Do you know why they call it "Xbox 360"?

When you see it you turn around 360 degrees and walk away.

...Which doesn't even make sense as a joke.

It's Ork. He doesn't have to make sense to be amusing, you just look at his avatar.

Kanluwen wrote:RACISM? Are you an idiot?

No, I simply call it as I see it when someone uses a racially derogatory slur such as wee-aboo.

Weebo-Someone not of the oriental race that tries impersonate or emulate the japanese or japanime culture.

Pretty sure there's no racism there.

It's a poser. Kinda like a chav, a whigger, or any NUMBER of wannabes.

But be more overly sensitive, please. Or we're going to have to start reporting people every time the term chav comes up.

Why didn't you list DVD, game library, online community, music and computer link for the Xbox as well? Also what about games on demand, cross-game voice chat, streaming music during the game, hard drive installation, Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox Indie games etc.?

Also, I thought you found the web browser redundant but yet it's a feature for the Wii?


And yes, this is fun.

Lets examine those "features"

1. DVD's: X-box= standard dvd's, PS3= DVD's and Blue-ray
2. Game Library: X-box & PS3= roughly the same [PS3 having more exclusives as listed before]
3. Online community: X-box & PS3 = both have them, you just have to pay for it on the x-box live.
4. Music: X-box & PS3 = both have the ability to play music, even during playing [only the same game titles are now getting it but they are promising an update for all]
5. Computer link: X-box & PS3 = both have it
6. Games on demand: I know of a thrid party thing for games on both x-box and PS3, nothing special.
7. Cross game voice chat: x-box & PS3 have it, no points awarded therer.
8. Streaming music: ?? dont know what that is, havent really look through my x-box as I dont really like to play it. Point it out to me though so I can actually see if it works the download, instead of just having an ipod in my x-box.
9. Hard Drive Installation: X-box= most title, PS3=few titles. Nothing too special about 3 seconds on load, but i'll give you a point for wasted space.
10. X-box live arcade: X-box=yep you have it, PS3= have a similar sort of thing, go on PSN and have a look, no points for ignorance.

All these thing PS3 basically has a reply, so anything you wish to say about these "x-box only things that PS3 actually do have"

I know what the term means.

It doesn't change the fact that you were using it in a derogatory manner towards the Japanese themselves. See, in English, usage of words is about context as well as actual meaning.

Plus, it's one of the filtered words here on Dakka. If you ever actually spelled it correctly, you'd see that.

Oh, also, Japanese "only" games? Also sold in China, Korea, and America. Does that qualify for your little self induced "sold in more than one country" requirement or are you going to excuse that away too?

Nope, because I then altered it to "region".

Get smarter.

Also:

Slinging terms like racism around when someone insults your precious japanimation?

You don't hear me calling people racist when I get compared to a neo-skinhead(complete bollocks) because I keep my hair close cropped.

Nice try. I actually watch very few anime(mostly older stuff), I tend to stick to live action stuff, thanks.

Kanluwen wrote:Get smarter.

Try, not being ignorant. The Asian Market make up more of the gaming industry than the US could ever, without them you would have so many games.

Also, what's wrong with oriental culture? It certainly out dates the American culture by 1000's of years. Your Ignorance is leading you to racism, America is NOT everything.

And yet, you call someone using a term that is in the popular vernacular describing fanboys/wannabes a racist?

What does that say about you pal?

Kanluwen,

Dial it down a notch. If given the choice, I'd certainly buy the 360 over the ps3. Fallout decides it for me.

Why? Both the 360 and PS3 have fallout

This is what's wrong with Asian Culture.

Not everyone likes manga based games.

Most "weaboo" traits are related to Japan's pop culture. The Feudal Japanese didn't dye their hair pink and call everything "kawaii". Actually, there are few Japanese people doing that now, because what weaboos do isn't what most actual Japanese people do, it's taking Japanese traits to an annoying extreme.

And most of "America's culture" is European.

Wow, look at that. You can. I'd still rather have the 360.

Plus you don't have to fork out $450 for a basic PS3.

Helpful contribution

You a smart on yep, yep

Hey man, stop insulting people for having a preference. That's not cool.

The amount they want you to fork out for a WiFi adaptor is stupid + plus online and that increases the price of an x-box over $80 AUD for an x-box then a PS3

There are more players (in my personal experience) on Xbox Live and you don't have to play with the fethtards. The Xbox also has its own very popular games, such as Halo and Gears of War to name a couple.

This thread was rubbish in the first place. The poll is biased and I get the feeling that you're just trolling. Stop it.

I shelled out NOTHING for my 360's online connector.

Because...gasp...my 360 is within the same room as my wireless hub.

And like a sheer genius, I used an ethernet cable to hook it up.

Amazing huh?

Yay more cables than sense

Only if you do something stupid, like don't put your cables on a custom built sleeve running along a wall that hook up from your PC/wireless hub to your TV/360/PS3.

Y'know, I love my PS3, and I have absolutely no prob with the 360 at all (I might get a cheapy one for some Gears action ^^), but you know what does piss me off.

Games For Windows Live

AAAAARGH!!!!

Even on PC, where you don't have to pay for it, once it has decided it needs to update, you're going to have to wait to play your game.

Then it decides that you need to update the game as well...
