Title: Which system to get?
Post by: coolimac2003 on August 14, 2008, 09:15:56 PM
PS3 or XBOX 360? I'm getting $600 this Friday and I'm having a tough time choosing which system to buy. I'm thinking about getting the 360 since its cheaper.

I'd get a PS3, I had a 360 and I passionately hate them.

ps3 is a wonderful system that is coming into its own

in my opinion the extra money is worth it because it includes wireless and all of the high def capability and the playstation store is ramping up and has a lot of good content

If you have any questions about ps3 just ask

also the 360 has too many hardware issues to deal with

But why would anyone want to mod a brand new system.. I definitely wouldn't want to risk it. I always wait till the next generation of consoles comes out to mod the previous. But thats just me.

The funny thing about that statement is that if you buy an XBOX360, you're already risking a lot XP

wow, tards in here. fuck PS3 its a pile of shit what do you think PS stands for? no its not PlayStation, its Pile of Shit. besides its only got like 2 good exclusive games total.
get a 360, WAAAAAAAAAAY more good exclusive games, and the multiplatformers are as good and in many cases better on 360, get an elite and dont wory about red rings. besides the rings are an easy fix. the elite also has full HD output just like a PoS3, and the 360 doesnt require you to install a game to play it.  if you want that, get a computer.

omg yes.


Get a 360, xbox live is freakin worth it, better then paying your entire paycheck on world of warcraft every year. Plus the community is MUCH larger than the ps3 online.

You lucky bastard. How is MGS4? I still haven't got to play it.

I guess its ok, I only played it for 5 minutes because I was really tired from carrying the console box around wal-mart and getting groceries.

Whats wrong with the 360? my wal-mart had like 12-14 xbox consoles and I got my ps3 the woman said that I already sold 3 today before I bought mine which was the last one. heck almost every online place is sold out of PS3 and has XBOX 360 in stock.

Is it nomal for my PS3 blu-ray drive to make a loud Polaroid camera sound? also is there any good arcade games on the PS3 because all the arcade games I saw on that PS3 disc look like shit. My favorite thing about the ps3 is that it doesn't sound like a jet taking off.

actually the ps3's install option rocks, my friend has an 80 gig, the load times are nothing on most games because of it.

wii is the best right now but all of its good games are out already
PS3 sucks but is consistently getting better
360 is really really good, but the games seem to be slowing down that are due to come out, and every multi console title.. I choose the ps3 because I hate the 360 controller...

hey I will say wii has alot of shit games, it goes with any hot new thing.  every five cent gaming company wants to cash in on the wii, but that doesnt mean every company is in that boat. nearly every game nintendo releases is pure gold,  and there are other companies making a solid effort and putting out damn good games, even if I exclude nintendo games from the list, there are still as many great games on wii as there are PS3.  and Nintendo isnt even close to done. PS3 = 2 good games a year, wii = 2 + whatever nintendo releases.
Title: Re: Which system to get?
Post by: SolidMetal on August 17, 2008, 06:21:29 PM
I don't like wii. Personally the system gets boring after the first 5 days of owning it. I haven't played ssbb in like 2 months, mario galaxy in like 4 months, mario&sonic in like 8 months, and sonic and rings in 6 months. Personally I don't like anything on there except for the vitural console which I only used for mario kart 64 and pokemon snap which I play mario kart 64 all the time.

I heard that the PS3 is out selling the 360 now. Is that true? because my wal-mart has tons of 360 consoles on the shelve where as the ps3 is hard to buy. Even the cashier said that I was the 4th person to buy a PS3 today.

Ok, so your thinking of buying a next gen system. Id say 360, the online experience is alot better on the 360 and I'd say the 360 has the software to back it.  As for reliability issues, the 360 has gone through various changes over the year or 2 its been out, I think its on its 3rd hardware revision right now (falcon) which is alot less RROD prone. But still MS has got you covered for 3 year incase your stupid enough to leave you console in a non ventilated warm place, it should go with out saying not to do that with any console.

that aside, when you look at the ps3... it doesnt have the software or online advantage. But it does a slight have an edge on the hardware but its really just the processor. but even that isnt as easy to take advantage of as the 360 due to its better dev kit. The GPUs in each are relativly similar performing. However the memory I'd say in the 360 is better implemented, the ps3 has 256mb dedicated to graphics and 256 dedicated for processing / general purpose tasks While the 360 has 512 mb or ram that doesnt have just 1 dedicated tast, in some cases the 360 could have more video memory or more general pourpose memory.

Over all I'd go with the 360, buying a system just based on hardware is a horrible idea. Ask your self what brings you enjoyment when using a game console? when you turn it on do you say "wow this game kicks ass!!!" or "wow I bet I could process alot of information with this". Its the games that make a console and at the moment I think the 360 has the edge.

Yeah... I'd much rather spend all that money and then spend some more for online play.
Last time I checked, the only console that makes you pay for online gameplay was the 360. In different ways all 3 consoles are good. I don't own a PS3, but I did own a 360 and the only worthwhile title in my opinion was Oblivion. There were FPS's galore, and there were some good ones like Bioshock, but I guess for whatever reason I just hated it.
PS3 seems to have the few titles that actually have any meat, like MGS4.
Title: Re: Which system to get?
Post by: Adam Bomb 669 on August 19, 2008, 10:23:27 AM
360 costs because its well made, organized, has alot of shit that wii and ps3s networking doesnt, besides its not that much, hell I get cards on craigslist for cheap. Oblivion was alright but morrowind was better to me.  Ive played alot of the PS3 exclusives and there about average for the most part, other than MGS, the PS3 exclusives cant touch the ones on 360.  Mass Effect, Bioshock, GoW and even though I myself cant stand the game, Halo 3.

Sorry I have to side with Adam here.
PS3 is a load of crap. All you get is a few okay games, and all the good ones are already on the 360! They're even releasing Final Fantasy games on the 360.
The only reason I'd ever want a ps3 is for Little Big Planet. But there's no way in hell I'd buy a bloated system for one good game. 360 is your friend, much much more and better games. You can get almost all the same games as on the ps3 and many many more that you can't get on the ps3.
Plus Live may not be free but it beats ps3's network 20 to 1

define a bloated system.

"360 is your friend, much much more and better games."

The fuck are you saying?

"You can get almost all the same games as on the ps3 and many many more that you can't get on the ps3."

You can say the same about the ps3, there are cross over titles, and console specific ones. the big producers are of course going to release games on both systems to increase total sales, one thing about this situation is you can get most 360 exclusive titles on the PC.

For me, when it comes down to it, I want a good multiplayer experience, and with Xbox Live I totally get that. I'm hoping one day in the future MGS4 will come for the 360, I hear a lot of people say it won't and blah blah blah, well you just watch, mister ... lol anything's possible.

I've played both resistance and uncharted, I liked resistance okay, uncharted was good for awhile but I got bored. I'm not saying that there's absolutely no good games on ps3, but there's much more good games on 360.

Yeah that one I am a bit jealous of, but that's the only one.

define a bloated system.
A system with quick features thrown in like the six-axis, or awards to be competitive against the Wii and 360. Online that feels broken most of the time and stale, pathetic online download offerings, and more focus on media then the actual games. Most of these features were copied just to compete, and were half heartily implemented.
The Wii and the 360 took their own course to improve and design their known great features, and have streamlined their featureset.

Quote
"360 is your friend, much much more and better games."
Gears of War, Gears of War2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Halo3, Halo Wars, Beautiful Katamari, Dead or Alive 4, Crackdown, Guilty Gear 2: Overture, Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Many more I'm leaving out, all exclusives.

From my experience if you have a computer that play games decently, then you don't need a 360.People are utilizing the 360 as a watered computer, most of it's games are dumbed down shooters.I actually see sony trying to make real games on their system.

Peter Molyneux always puts his games on the PC, and they end up being better experiences than the console counterparts.Like I said the 360 just a sorry computer.People think that what makes PC gaming so good is the graphics, and they are wrong, it's everything else.

Post by: willplayer on September 12, 2008, 09:29:18 AM
I can't agree. What does it for me is the Xbox Live experience. I won't argue with you though. Most hardcore pc gamers have already slammed down their stakes with "Well the PC is what MADE these games what they are today, and the consoles suck anyways" etc.

It's the same idea except I'm able to just sit in my sofa with some friends and play on a tv. That's my idea of videogaming. Not clicking and clacking on a keyboard with a mouse in my hand ...

It's all about preference.

Yeah and I love fps and I honestly hate playing with a mouse and keyboard. Also any gamepads I've bought for the computer either broke right away or were faulty from the start.
The only thing I really use computers for is Strategy games like Star Craft or Rome Total War, or online games like guild wars.

Those kind of games that Tieden mentioned are the kinda games I like the PC for. Because those RTS kinda games REQUIRE/DEMAND a mouse, ya know? I always played those kinda games back in the day, Warcraft and Starcraft alike. Diablo 2 also. But FPS not so much. It was nice being able to have better response time, though.

exactly, Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo practically require a mouse. But I feel weird playing FPS games with a mouse. I never have a enough room on the desk to turn around. I guess I'm just too used to playing FPS's with a controller.

Peter Molyneux always puts his games on the PC, and they end up being better experiences than the console counterparts.Like I said the 360 just a sorry computer.People think that what makes PC gaming so good is the graphics, and they are wrong, it's everything else.

Even with  the few games that are actually different,they hardly merit the purchase of the console, but I really do want to try the new Banjo game.

It just depends on what game franchises you like best. When the first banjo game came out I had a ps1 and thought n64 was as kiddie as you could get. Especially when the 6 year old neighbor kid used to come over and talk about playing banjo-kazooie and watching Barnie in the same sentence. I on the other hand was always playing metal gear solid, final fantasy and resident evil.

I was always down with 64.  I got lucky with it I guess cause I never bought a shit game.  and I have a good 35 games.  but then I got the emu and a dvd of all the games and I soon found out I have nearly all the good games....    but its still one of my alltime favorite consoles.  most of the games I liked on ps1 didnt age well.  MGS is still worth playing  but two I liked back then were Duke Nukem TTK and Thrill Kill.  those games are kind of lame now.  Saturn still dominates.

Saturn will always rule, I don't think anyone was expecting up to date graphics out of saturn even when they were actually releasing games. I had one, and a ps1, and it was almost like a last gen console at the time. Didn't make it any less fun, and the not-so-great graphics never detracted from the games.

Well I just got me a XBOX 360. In my opinion that it is much better than the PS3. Only thing that I hate about the 360 is that it is so damn loud.
Title: Re: Which system to get?
Post by: willplayer on September 30, 2008, 11:59:50 PM
I haven't really found myself bothering about the sound of the fan for the 360. I've got an Elite now but I can't remember how loud my regular 360 was ... all I do is turn up the volume for the game and I'm set :)

No matter what anybody says, I can't help but believe that the only reason your all so anti ps3 is because it's too expensive for you. It's either that or your all halo junkies.
And the online aspect is perfect. I've had a 360 and a ps3, I have no idea why people think xbox live is better than psn.

XBOX LIVE IS 100 TIMES BETTER THAN PSN!!!

The arcade games on the PS3 suck ass, Hardly any one plays online, you can't voice chat while playing a game. Only thing I can think of that the PSN has over XBOX live is the price.

Why would I want to pay $399 for the PS3 while the cheapest XBOX for $199 can play about 90% of the PS3's game library.

and then you will probably talk about the 3 red rings of death while ignoring the disc read errors that the PS2 had and how many times you gave your NES games a blow job.

Sounds like you've got some sand in your vagina. If you spend a lot of time playing arcade games on your next gen console I think you're a douche. I never had the 3 red rings, but I did have a ps2 that developed disc read errors. I opened it up and fixed it in about an hour, really really not a big deal.
I didn't buy a game console to play online, thats a bonus I guess. I have "real life" friends to play video games with. And no voice chat while in game? I have a cell phone! Not like I'd want to talk to anybody while playing anyway.
Have gamers really taken 2 completely opposite paths these days?
Things I care about:
1. Paying once, not BUTT FUCKING MONTHLY. My console and my credit card don't team up and jointly go on the rag.

2. Playing a game without people disturbing me. Not chit chatting, gossiping, or otherwise giving a shit about what anyone else has to say unless they're sitting on the couch with me.

3. Playing new games with new graphics that wow and amaze me, and getting sucked into the game.
Not paying money for games I played 10 years ago and can download for free on my PC. Not changing discs (although this isn't actually that big of a deal).

4. Not wishing MGS4 would come out for the console I own.

5. Not missing out on a consoles features because I only had enough money to buy the starter model that didn't come with a hard drive.

6. PSN home, which is supposed to be out this year.

7. Having the option, although I don't need it, to play blu-ray

8. Having the option to integrate my electronic devices together, like transferring files back and forth from my pc with a crossover cable, and using my portable system.

9. Being able to browse the internet from my console when I'm too lazy to get off the couch.

Now I'm sure that in the 3 or 4 months since I've owned a 360 it has drastically changed and most of these issues are resolved. :D


edit
and hey by the way coolmac, this isn't meant as an attack on you man. I just really hated my 360. I mean REALLY hated the fucking thing. That and I actually love my ps3 a little bit more than I loved my genesis back in the day.

Well whatever. I edited it because after re-reading I sort of thought it was kind of harsh when I didn't mean it to be.
What the hell is wrong with the ps3 web browser? Honestly, name something. At least I made a list.
With the new firmware update the only thing I can think of that I can't do in it is download PC applications for obvious reasons.

I think people are comparing these latest gen consoles with the wrong points
all these extra features are all bullshit filler thats added to make a console the all in one box

network connections ok for system updates and backing up saves to pc other than that pointless unless its used for piracy
emulating old games whats the point how many times do you need them
web surfing wtf everyone owns a pc
online play get a life
media only a dumbass would wear their laser watching movies and playing tunes
HDD storage yeah backups and saves other than that pointless
The point im making is most arguments are either about pointless shit or how you can use your console as a crap media player that doesnt compare to dedicated hardware.


How they should be compared is how they perform for their native games aswell as cross platform titles and the quality of the ports

Here's an idea. Buy the system that most appeals to you for what you want most. Software. Everything else - online compatibility, system specs, media ability etc are all trivial if the games available to you on said system fail to entertain you. Everybodys tastes are different and what appeals to some may not appeal to you. You can ask for advice and opinions all day long but it will always come down to personal preference.

giggity giggity lets have sex.  One person was dominated totaly in here, the rest were not.  If "mind blowing" graphics and a soap operah quality story line matter to you, buy a ps3 or a 360, anyone looking for truely great games, stick to systems dreamcast and older, for the new systems wait til you can get them for 50 bucks or less and the games are all 5 dollars.  otherwise youl wind up dissapointed.

if you can be swayed to purchase a console based solely on one game(MGS 43, GT 910, FF 396, Halo 51, SF 8437823758432475893245743697435 ETC.)  dont buy a console at all, do us real gamers a favor please, and keep in mind whatever that game is you want so badly, a year or two after its released it will cost 20 dollars and there will be anywhere between one and three more sequils.
THANK YOU COME AGAIN!

It doesn't matter how lame the PS3's online service is in the US. It is ten times worse in Europe. The PlayStation Store is ridiculously barren and empty over here and they haven't even brought out Street Fighter II HD yet which forced me to purcase a US PSN gift voucher over ebay.

It also sucks not to be able to get an online version of Virtua Fighter 5.

Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I would go without having a PS3, but frankly I feel like I'm missing out until I get myself a 360.
