6 Reasons To Buy A PlayStation 3 Instead Of An Xbox 360

[leaffan]

I will never get enough of Xbox homers talking about how much better Live is. When is the last time ANY of you have played a game online? I've played R&C, Starhawk, Max Payne, Battlefield 3 and others recently and experience ZERO issues. ZERO. And I play witha wireless connection. Better connections online on 360 is the biggest farce in gaming these days. 360 has party chat and that's fucking it. If party chat is wirth $60 to you then great.

I swear this article just echoes shit that I have been saying for years and the same reason why when friends or family ask what console to get, when they can only affors one, my answer is simple. PS3 every time. I had one co-worker that didn't listen to me and got a 360 instead. She has regretted it ever since. She's on a very strict buget and has wedding coming up. She loves playing all sorts of games from shooters to Viva Pinata, but she can't afford to pay for Live anymore and honestly she thinks it's bullshit.

I'm sure buying a console was a good idea then.

Curious...if you're alliance is obviously strongly pointed towards the PS3, why is it that most of you gaming is done on 360?

i am not sure that is a true statement...

[Maynard]

yeah i agree. this is a predominant ps3 forum because its mainly a sports gamer forum. so your leagues are mostly on ps3. other games though, are driven by 360. take that gaming night for example. most of the sign ups were for 360 because they were not sports games.

i think he was referring to Twiggler specifically.

Yeah, it's not. I would say I play my PS3 much more. Besides the exclusives I've been buying most multiplatform games on PS3, as the past year or so those versions almost always seem to surpass the 360 versions, even if slightly. Plus, one of my favorite online games is Bf3 and the PS3 community for that game, on this site anyway, is far and away bigger than on 360.

The only games I really buy on 360 are ones that are on sale (a lot of times the 360 version is cheaper, especially used sales from Gamefly) or EA sports games like NCAA or Madden because the last few years the PS3 versions were obvious ports.

The last time I was on PSN it was horribly laggy. The last time I tried getting on PS3 it was hacked to all hell.

Which was when? And what game?

[Handleit_44]

I don't remember the last time I experienced a shitty/laggy connection via PSN... works fine and I'm also wireless.

I prefer the PS3 MAINLY for the following:

- Friends (hometown & internet buds)
- Controller
- First Party Titles/Exclusives
- PS Plus

Like I said, people that complain about PSN being laggy are full of shit. They are also the same people that say they NEVER experience lag on Live, which is also complete bullshit.

Faggots. All of you.

According to your Raptr....2/3 of your gaming is done through Microsoft. You've also played 313 360 games compared to 145 PS3 games.

......raptr doesn't track PS3 time.

[Primetime]

sigh......raptr doesn't track PS3 time.

Thanks for clearing that up.

[jms493]

Thanks for clearing that up.

sorry the sigh was unnecessary

[Twigg4075]

Yup. Raptr only tracks PC and 360. I have no idea why because Sony is much more open with everything else.
