It's inevitable bro. One of them is going to die. This is the guy who made Ico and SotC.


Mes T: I've got both systems. I play PS3 a lot more than I play 360. However, my sister, who is a bit of a casual gamer, has played with my 360 more (mainly due to Fable 2 and Saints Row 2). I think you'll be happy with either choice but I'd personally recommend the PS3: the hardware's stable and quiet, it's got a fun library of exclusives and the multiplatforms look and play just fine.

Then again, I'd also advise you to go with what the majority of your friends have got. It's no fun being the odd one out.

Heh. My friends aren't the type that play video games anyway!

Okay well just ordered a game off eBay for ps3, now all I gotta do is wait for it to arrive and buy the console at some point in between.

Prices are pretty much similar. Plus, PS3 slim is rather cheap too. I don't think debating from a price stand point will hold water, especially for an xbox (cost for online additives). However, you are right; a gaming PC is definitely the most expensive.

i wasn't debating the prices of the xbox vs the ps3.

You can buy a mic for like $20..

nobody does this.

I guess you havn't played PSN..? I have no problem talking with my team-mates at all..?

I don't experience any real difference between the two consoles online. Doesn't it depend on what systems your friends have..?

If you want to debate which system has best online communication, then PC wins by a landslide. (Vent FTW)

yes i have played PSN and nobody talks on it. there is no cooperation between teammates and therefore the gameplay suffers in games where you need to communicate. on the xbox you can jump into a game and the first one you join will be full of people with mics. if you don't like those people, you can find another lobby. easy as that.

What exclusive on the Xbox are you so favorable about? I don't see one that's worth mentioning, especially one that is not on the PC.

there are a lot of great games on the 360 which aren't on the ps3. and for someone who does not play games on their PC, or prefers console experience, the 360 is the best choice. most of the games that are on both the PC and 360 are designed specifically for the 360 and ported to the PC. they are made for that console and they work best on it.

also: multi-platforms are better on the 360 90% of the time.

we could argue for 13,000 years about these things but like i said many times before it all comes down to personal preference and taste in games/controllers/interfaces. if you want blu ray and free online and you like the games, get the ps3.. if you want good online experience, better community, better controller, better multiplatforms and you like the games, get the 360.

Maybe you should consider your friends on the PSN hate you then. I certainly have co-operative teams on the PSN. lol

What games..? Carou. already went over the scores.

Seriously.. you are going to argue that graphics are better on the 360 than pc? You're kidding right?

yes the graphics are better. you might have ignored them but there have been comparison videos for almost every multi-platform game and the 360 looks and plays better on mostly all of them. the cell processor was good for marketing and it is slightly better than the processor in the 360 but the 360 has better altogether hardware. look it up, the 360 has better memory, 512 MB as opposed to the 256 on the ps3. that's why the games look and play better.
the xbox 360 has better games than the ps3. i don't care if you are going to say that the ones ported to PC aren't "true exclusives".. i don't play PC games and i don't care which ones are ported to it. i have all the games i want and need on the 360, and nothing on the ps3 interests me other than final fantasy 14.

so you say you have good teammates who co-operate .. well how long did it take you to find them, how many lobbies did you have to go through until you found one with someone talking? on the 360 you jump into a game and 75% of the people in there will have mics. any game with multiplayer is going to be a more enjoyable on the 360.

moral: PCs suck

I'm just going to hop in and say, maybe it's been awhile since you played on the PSN, because I know when I play COD, most matches at least half of the people in the game are using mics, not including myself since I rarely use mine just because I feel like a tool sitting in my bedroom while my family thinks I'm talking to myself. I only use it if I actually have a team that is tactic-oriented, or if I'm playing with friends.

I have to say, that I've never really noticed any game make much use of tactics, regardless of whether everyone on the team has mics or not. I've noticed on Xbox play online, even if everyone has a mic, it's usually just like 6-8 people yelling about how they just got killed, or bragging about how many people they just killed, or telling their teammates how much they suck. Every single person seems to have their own idea of how the team should function, and therefore every person ends up playing individually anyway, and the team doesn't really function tactically then. The only game I've really noticed any difference in, is Left 4 Dead, because it's so focused on being tactical with your team.

That's just what I've noticed over my travels anyway....

lol you gotta be trolling

PC's easily outclass any console just in the very fact that there video card capabilities are drastically higher. To argue that consoles graphics cards are better than PC's is simply stupid.

XBox 360 has a 500 MHz ATI Xenos. Compare that with the GTX 200.

Jokes.. that's what it is. You cannot argue with the specs. PC will always dominate in graphics for the simple fact that you can always easily upgrade the card and console game manufacturer's must keep games graphics within limits of the consoles default graphics chipset for most potential distribution.

You gotta be trollin. That, or you are ignorant to what a chipset is.

Also, just because you had a bad experience on PSN doesn't mean that others did. Most people I know are on PSN and I had crappy experience with XBox live. Am I going to glorify that? No.

Compare the two objectively; PS3 wins.

Making the objective decision; PS3 and gaming PC is the best combination. Unless you like Halo. Or you are fervently passionate about the Xbox controller.

Oh wait, you can connect the Xbox controller to the PC. lol.

Oh wait, you can connect the PS3 controller to the PC. lol.

Unless you like the exclusives only on the Xbox.

Oh wait, there's none that are rated high at the moment. Why aren't you mentioning the names of any, by the way? I can only think of Halo.

That's fine - if you like Halo. However, there are more higher rated exclusives for PS3 than Xbox 360.
