i'm really not a fanboy. if a console interests me i will buy it, i am not biased to one console just because i have grown up playing early versions or what ever.. the xbox has the games and controller and online i like, so i prefer it.
if the ps3 one day upgraded their controllers, started selling the consoles with mics, and made some games worth playing i would buy it and recommend it in an instant.. but that's just not the case.
Pfft, PS3 is far inferior to Xbox360 concerning games and gameplay experience.
Red ring of death is not a problem if you buy a newer console and keep it appropriately ventilated.
Final Fantasy XIII is coming out for Xbox360 too this year, so huff puff on whoever didn't mention it would.
Seriously, without a bloody doubt, X360 takes the win completely, regional issues are hardly a problem. Blueray is really the only thing I have used PS3 for, everything else sucks, especially user interfaces and controllers. Graphics have always seemed lessser imo in comparison to the X360.

plus like I said earlier, I grew up with ps1 when it came out back in 1995ish when i was a kid, played it up until 2002ish then got a ps2 and played that still to this day, I still play ps1 and ps2 frequently and so naturally i wanted to see how ps3 was and im lucky i went for ps3 because i would have returned 360 within a few days of buying it back in 2007
Most of my friends back home have 360's but i wouldn't budge and went for ps3 instead, you can call me whatever you choose but to me in my mind and in my experience, I have WAY more fun playing ps3 than playing 360, and to me thats really all that matters...which system is more fun?
for me its ps3, I get to watch all my blu ray movies, I get to watch ripped divx films also, I can surf the web and listen to music while waiting for friends to start up a match of killzone 2...and then i proceed to spend 12+ hours having major fun.
I duno but to me, that sounds like ps3 is a winner FOR ME at least.
What ever happened to respecting others opinions and just silently nodding your head and saying okay that's fine with me
don't get me wrong, I don't hate 360 gamers or 360 itself, i just don't prefer using that system that's all, i prefer the alternative and to me thats okay that you play halo...it is a FUN game, and fun is what counts...not graphics, not audio quality...but FUN NESS
I have played gears of war 2 on 360 and enjoyed it quite a bit, almost as much as I enjoy call of duty...that might be the only game worth buying 360 for ME, the other games which attract me are left 4 dead 2 since my pc cant handle it, and mass effect 2.
There are a good number of decent games on 360 i'd like to have but, to me its not enough to sway me over to buy one, not to mention im BROKE! lol...
one day when im more well monetarily versed i might buy one, just for a few games though......screw boring rpgs.
my 360 game list to play would be:
GOW
GOW2
Halo Reach
Forza perhaps
l4d1 and 2
mass effect 1 and 2
metal gear solid (the new one coming out soon)
and maybe a few others, but to me final fantasy and others like that have 0 interest to me, i remember playing FF7 on ps1 and hating it like crazy cause you have to select stupid attack commands to attack instead of a free battle style like 3rd person shooters.
My post wasn't really directed to you guerilla... we already had our feud >:P
oh I know i was just trying to clarify that i do NOT hate 360 or its users lol...

You mean MGS4 right?Quote:

I always was a PS fan and a Xbox hater, with reasons, and after reading all the posts here I think it's fairly obvious that PS3 > Xbox. I think Carou already said everything you need to make up your mind =)
Yes, that's true with the Metal Gear Solid Series but that was for Solid Snake and his series. There taking the game to a new direction with a new character (Raiden) so it will most likely be a completely new story where new gamers can join in and follow.Quote:

The reason i'd get the new Metal Gear rising game on 360 is because from what I've read its a 360 exclusive, and that ps3 will get its own seperate game exclusive, i saw it on my game informer mag a few months back.
I wouldn't worry, hideo kojima is ocd when it comes to quality, they would never port to ps3 to some 3rd party douchebags like ea does.Quote:

EA is lazy and other companies who outsource porting for ps3 versions should have their balls squashed by a 800 pound sumo wrestler's feet.
If they want to do a quick and dirty port instead of a proper like call of duty 5 and 6 they should not bother making a port altogether if they will half ass it.
I applaud infinity ward for porting 360 call of duty to ps3 PERFECTLY, every other company MUST follow infinity wards formula of TAKING YOUR TIME when porting games and testing framerates extensively...
EA and many other companies just port, and if the game runs at 15 fps thats good enough for their lazy profiteering asses.
Then they go on magazines and claim the ports were bad because ps3 is bad, not because their half-assed lazy no effort ports.
dude, it's not the developers faults.. it's sony's fault for making the system so hard to design for.
its not hard to design for actually, theres like 2 dozen developers who made games for ps3 and they look fine to me, in the BEGINNING they had trouble but once the devs learned the spu's they were just fine, they said it themselves thats its a little tricky but overall not that bad.
Stop exaggerating dude.
It's not like coding for the ps3 is so hard you need to call in nasa engineers, gimme a break its a console with a cpu with a few spus attached, any monkey with 6 months can figure out how to code for it, unless their head is up their ass, or maybe they have 2 brain cells.
The bloods and the crips are sooo 1994.
EDIT: Whoops, a few pages too late.
Holy crap! MGS4 is coming out for the Xbox!? Day=Made. This is awesome! Now I don't have to waste my money on a PS3. It's kind of funny actually. Back when MGS4 was released, all the gaming community said this would happen eventually
mgs4 wont be on 360, who ever said that?
mgs FIVE will be.
50 gigs wont fit on a dvd today, tomorrow or next century.
(actually mgs4 is MORE than 60 gigs compressed onto the disc)
you need literally 20 dvds for mgs4...
sorry to burst your bubble, even hideo kojima said it himself mgs4 will remain an exclusive, but metal gear RISING will be 360, but then again the game will only be about 6 gigs.
and MGR will be raiden not solid snake, so its totally different thing, sorry again to burst your bubble, if you want mgs4 you need a ps3.
If you guys don't believe me read a local game informer magazine yourself, hideo stated himself on Game informer that only metal gear rising will be making an appearance on the xbox, and he would not make the effort to port such a massive game to such a tiny format such as dvd. (by the port i mean metal gear solid 4 guns of the patriots NOT mg rising)
the 360 metal gear should be interesting, the graphics will be a slight touch less impressive than mgs4 but hideo promised to squeeze as much as he can from the xbox which you can't squeeze it enough to match ps3's graphical capabilities.
you don't know what you're talking about.. i've seen tons of developers rant about how shitty the ps3 is to design for, on forums and blogs and press conferences etc etc.. it's a well known fact outside of the sony fanboy community.Quote:

Tarsier dammit :P Shortly after I made the thread I already said that I actually HAVE NO CHOICE between consoles anyway because of REGION CODES in the xbox. So there were no "traps" or "wrong choice"s in any case waaarrgghhdsfkghdfg.
:shadewink:
Anyway after considering all of the points made in this thread and elsewhere, even if I did have the choice, I think the ps3 would be the way to go for me. The selection of games interest me more, among other things.
But I definitely agree with those who say that comparing the two is not too far from splitting hairs, because in the end, with the right game, either console can be highly enjoyed.
I think Ghandi said that, word for word first Mes. :chuckle:Quote:
