I think someone sold you a PS2, an external hard drive and told you that 480p was blu ray. You got ripped off dude.

xbox vs ps3?

That's nice.

As did I, but if I had to pick between PS3 and 360 I'd get the PS3 if only because I already have a microsoft gaming platform in this house.

They're both pretty similar to me. The majority of the games are more or less the same, with the few differences which are partially the reason I chose one over the other (the other was my friends were on it already).

Basically, it boiled down to:

360: Ikaruga, SNK KOF UM games on XBLA
PS3: Guilty Gear 1 re-release on PSN, Demonsouls

I would be tempted to get a PS3 for Demonsouls, but the price for one game isn't really worth it to me. All the others I play are cross platform.

The other issues:

Controller - I much prefer the PS3 one, but most games I play on an Arcade Stick anyway, which handles the same wherever.

Price - 360 was cheaper to get new

This really isn't an argument for either system, but something I would just recommend to anybody looking to buy a console.

DON'T BUY USED, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T!

The systems of this generation can be hacked, when they are hacked the companies who made said system get mad. A coworker of mine bought a used 360 that couldn't go online because the previous owners had used bootlegged games. A guy I was talking to changed his lights to flash red when the 360 was working and green when the RROD would normally show.

SONY also uses the same methods, if a console is sitting in a used game store its there for a reason. Either the previous owner got locked out of online access or the system itself is outdated.

Or they needed money/didn't use it anymore. I agree with you that I'd always be suspicious about buying a second-hand console, but that's why I would only consider buying one from a store. (game mania here buys up used consoles for a few bucks and then does complete checks to see if theres any damage before they sell them on, or sell them for next to nothing if it's wasted).

Ps3. I mean really, paying to game online for Xbox? No thanks, no matter how cheap or how good the customer service is.

Besides, Xbox has Halo, Ps3 has Killzone, and I'm sure you could find a long list of similar games that are exclusive to each console.

Again, as someone with a PS3, Wii and 360 - I would gladly pay for Xbox Live than use Playstation Network or Wii Online.

I have to second this, a mate of mine has a PS3, and I was just shocked at PSN's quality compared to xbox Live, those 5 bucks a months really put out

I haven't encountered any problems with PSN and find the online community of the xbox to be vile, though dispise online multiplayer for anything other than MMORPGs anyway.

Have you compared the two?

I think you'll find most of the kids/trolls on XBL are pretty much restricted to CoD and Halo. I play a lot of Assassin's Creed and other non-FPS games, and get on quite well with people.

Probably where my issue lies, I have only played CoD online on either XBL or PSN.

Yeah, that's probably why. Both of them are full of bratty children and arsehats. However, it's fun to troll them. *trollface*

Try Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I had an intelligent conversation on there, the other day. My conversations on CoD/Halo usually consist of:
"Why the hell are kids on this game? Bad parenting or what?" To bait the kids.

Sounds like he's in denial of what the superior gaming platform is.

I'm looking at getting one or the other, likely next week.

Reckon I'll plump for PS3. Not only am I paranoid about getting Red Rings, but I really, really want to thrash my way through God Of War 3. The other games of interest appear to be cross platform. Got nothing against 360, other than not wanting it to crap out. It's just I prefer a PS3. Plus I'll be getting me an HDTV, and I want my monies worth out of it!

It's better to put it this way:

Ass hats are always drawn to FPS games in general. Gears of War for example has a much more intelligent community in my experience(along with being a superior game ).

It really sucks when you compare the two networks because the anecdotal evidence varies. I play MAG sometimes and that won't lag when it runs 256 players but CoD will when it runs 12 players. Then there are times that I have a completely lag free game on CoD, it just varies. As far as the quality of people on the networks there tends to be a lot of younger kids on XBL(mostly on FPSs as noted) but there tends to be the "frat boy bros" on the PS3. Both of them are annoying as hell and the only difference between the two is the pitch of their voices.

I've never played MAG (my friends who have played it keep telling me it's terrible, so I never picked it up). However, I've never had a decent game of CoD or anything on it, compared to the 360 version. Though the chat was better (no children, YAY!), it was so laggy. And I know it's not my connection, because my 360 doesn't lag.
The only non-laggy game I've played is probably Metal Gear Online. But, I think that's too awesome to be laggy (<3 Snake).

After 11 pages you still haven't accepted the fact that pc is and will be the superrior platform for everything.

Just get a pc. If you don't then you can't read this.

I have a great pc, that doesn't mean I cant have a console.'

Bloody elitists.

If after 11 pages you have not grasped the fact that this thread is about comparing and contrasting the XBOX 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 and not for saying "der pee cee is betur" then it is quite clear you are obviously the one who cannot read.

I really wish people would stop with the PC is superior crap. You get what you pay for. PC gaming much more expensive. A good alienware PC is a couple thousand at least. Gaming PCs (the superior ones everyone talks about) can be up to $3500.00 in some cases, which is way more than a 360 or a PS3. If you are dropping $500.00 on a PC from Wal-Mart it will look nowhere near as good as a 360 or a PS3.

Anyone that keeps saying the PC is better crap needs to take their Chevy Cavalier P.O.S. to the nearest dealership and sell it so they can buy a Aston Martin, because you know they are superior to cavaliers and neons right? I don't have three grand to drop on a PC every 5 years. When my gaming needs get to that point, I will stop playing these games altogether. I do have $500.00 for a console and to me that makes the 360 and PS3 superior.


Now on the topic of PS3 versus 360. It is really down to the game library now. Graphics are pretty much equal on both systems. If you don't feel like dropping extra money for xbox live, the PS3 is for you. If you got an extra $50.00 a year, they xbox live is pretty nice. Don't worry about a particular console having a certain game that you musty play. Each system has very good games that are exclusive.

Now for me, I think people should have both systems. They have both been out for awhile and if you could afford to drop $400.00 in one or the other 5 years ago, then I don't see a reason why you can't buy the other system now. Five years ago, the choice would have been easier, because the 360 had better graphics and games. That has all changed now and anyone can get a lot of enjoyment out of both systems. Both companies have stressed that they want 7-10 years out of each system, so if you don't have both, then pick the other up.
