PS3 vs 360Follow

Why do they call it an XBOX 360? Because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away!









We need some horrible troll-esque humor in this place.

Needs more seriousness? How about.. this then!?

PS1 is easier, takes less hardware. PS2 Emotion Engine chip was expensive, and the software emulation was also extra overhead that was removed in order to reduce the cost of the PS3 system.


Between the 360 and the PS3, the 360 was more affordable and more readily available. So the 360 was the focus of the game developers early on. This is why the 360 had such a better game library than the PS3.

Games that came out on the PS3 after already being on the 360 had to add content in order to get people to buy them.

I just bought a ps3 yesterday for $242.
My bro has a 360, and has had it for awhile now.

All the games I want to play, have been on the ps3.

And I didn't know my ps3 could play ps1 games..that is cool (but my modded ps1 is better :p lol). I tried a ps2 game (bought it used, no box, I don't know much about them because on no box/booklets so I couldn't tell if it was one of the ps3 that could or not play ps2 games) said no.
No big deal, there are 2 ps2 in the house if I want to play it.

Now to start the collection of games I want.
:D

I have DJ hero, it is pretty sweet if you like Guitar/Rock/Band Hero type games

Do it right next time you cretinous troglodyte



It's also the only part that matters in the slightest capacity.

To elucidate

If I wanted to ********** myself nine hours per day by looking at really nice pictures, ****** at the thought of counting pixels, and spontaneously have coronaries from the sheer bliss of progressive scan and the smoothness of animation, then I wouldn't be able to play any games at all, for three reasons: I would be too covered in fanboy juice to hold a controller; I would be watching a film, as my priorities clearly indicate that I should be doing so; I would have murdered myself for the fact that I was being a whorish waste of oxygen and taking up a market share of people who actually like to play games instead.

It is on the list of games to get. My Bro will no doubt buy it next week for his b-day (I looked, couldn't find it for him w/ what cash I have left over from ps3+DJ Hero).

Except for the fact that these are identical, you have a point.

Wait, no you don't. Being "actually" better means being actually @#%^ing better, not "possibly better if developers happen to change their tune," and not "will be better based on promises of nothing that I read in EGM, where developers started to tease me with empty dreams." It is a clear and egregious mistake.

You're counting potential of a system as a reason to get one in the present actuality. That is ludicrously stupid. The potential of a system has no bearing, in the slightest capacity, on what you should buy now. You don't even get the ability to buy one as an investment now, because systems depreciate. You gain nothing. If you thought that a system had greater potential than another, but not a library to sustain it, then buying one now in hopes that it will mature into a wonderful investment is approximately as nonsensical as shredding 400 dollars and hoping that it will one day reconstitute into a pony.



This has nothing to do with what system is appropriate for most people to buy. I doubt it has anything to do with you either. Do you have large sacks of cash that you can deliver to Konami, allowing them to cut the chain between the kenyan and white guy? I severely doubt it. Do you have political or advisory clout with developers and publishers in order to lobby them or manipulate them yourself in order to fulfill the empty wishes that you have to see the ps3s potential realized? Apparently not.

You talk about what system is actually better without giving the slightest notion to what actuality entails. The actuality, is that the kenyan is functionally identical to the white guy until someone breaks the tether, and until that point, you haven't the slightest ability to judge the "actual" prowess of the kenyan.

Yes, the adapter price sucks. I have Ethernet wired in my walls though, so I didn't have to worry about it, just used the wired connection. Two ports in my room, one in the other rooms. The router in the living room. After a year though, I did end up purchasing one and going wireless.




My Wii is gathering dust, my Xbox I play a few times a week, and on the weekends. My PS3 I end up playing occasionally, but not as often as my Xbox.

I don't get why you have to use a special blue ray disc to run the netflix service on the PS3? Why not just make it a program downloaded from the PSN like you can on the 360 through Xbox Live?

I play PSP and DS more than any of my other systems.

Because it is how they are bypassing the Microsoft agreement for now. It will eventually be updated as a part of the XMB in the future similar to how the 360 has it now.

Anyway, bought a 360 first and bought my PS3 last. Prefer the PS3 over the 360 mostly due to the games available.

It is now that they lowered the price.

But my 80GB version was 399 dollars.

Now, you would be right, if it wasn't for the fact that there ARE games out for the PS3 that do take advantage of it's potential and for the fact that a PS3 is cheaper than a 360 and doesn't have a failure rate that leaves you without a working system half the time. (The analogy was for games that are on both systems only where the developers didn't feel like making two different games, in a sense. There are games for the ps3 where you actually have the Kenyan running by himself.)
