Xbox360 or PS3

[brees fan]

if your playing on a SDTV and dont care for saving your games and playing online then yes it is a hundred dollars cheaper

touche.... forgot about the whole no harddrive shit, honestly don't have a clue why they still sell that system...

That Shaq pic is hilarious.

But I understand what Brees was trying to say. If someone is not worried about all of the bonuses the PS3 offers (which are actually a ton of people) then save the $100. Although you're going to get fucked on the back end anyway. Unfortunately most people don't think ahead and not to mention the economy blows.

I always like the console war threads. They make me laugh.
Both consoles have their pros and cons and there is no clear winner this time around.
Hell, some Wii fans could make a case for their console.

 

[JeremyHight]

I have both, I like both. They each have their pluses and minuses, but if I could only pick one, I'd probably take the 360. It has more people on it and the online experience (leagues, matches, anything) is more enjoyable.

That being said, I'd buy both. The exclusives and experiences on each make them each very enjoyable and almost mandatory for any serious gamer to have both.

When Blu-Ray gets cheaper or does something that makes a Dual-Layer DVD's a nuisance, it'll be a Pro; for now, it's just a different format used for games. I'm aware that a dual layer Blu-Ray can withhold about 50-60 gigs, and a DL DVD holds about 8.5 tops, but still, there isn't enough difference to label it a PRO.

dumb, DVDs are slowly becoming old technology and I guarantee by 2012 some major movies will only be out on Blu Ray.
A Blu Ray player is regularly around $200 bucks for an average one which if you add that to the money that an XBOX costs is a lot compared to just getting a ps3

Will give you "wireless included, not extra", although I'm fairly confident that, by now, the Wireless controller is the norm in every 360 package available.

batteries still cost money.

No batteries, you got me. Although there is a charge n' play kit for 360.

costs money as well

Cross-Platform patch release might be a wash. MW2 might have gone to the ps3 first, But i'm pretty sure that NBA 2k10 had a huge patch for 360 a couple weeks before PS3 saw it.

i lul'd hard.
MW2 > NBA 2K10 in terms of the amount of people that give a fuck, MW2's community dwarfs 2K10's in all facets

Just for you, buddy, I'll redo my pros and cons.

Xbox 360
Pros:
Cheaper. (Cheapest 360: 200$; Cheapest PS3: 300$) but for that cheaper one you have to buy a hard drive which costs an average of $100 unless you want to use a shit 254 mg one
Bigger install base.
Good Exclusives (Mass Effect, Fable, Forza, Gears of War, Halo, Episodes from Liberty City) Gran Turismo > Forza, Killzone > GOW, Uncharted > Halo, Demon's Souls > Mass Effect, MGS4 > Fable, who the fuck cares about EFLC
Xbox Live (Party, Cross-Game Chat, Dedicated Servers, Facebook[Xbox allows you to update from the console; PS3 just spams your facebook wall with trophies you've earned], Last.FM, Twitter) we have facebook and servers arent bad enough to justify spendiong the 60 bucks you guys do in a year
Xbox Live Arcade brings across great games as Soul Calibur, Geometry Wars, The Dishwasher, Sonic The Hedgehog) that no one buys lulz

Cons:
Unreliable.
Loud.
Paying for Xbox Live.
Uses batteries for controller.

Playstation 3:
Pros:
Quieter System.
More Reliable.
Free Playstation Network.
Good Exclusives (Uncharted, Demon Souls, Killzone, Gran Turismo 5, Heavenly Sword, God of War)
Great PSN Games support (PS1 games like MGS, Final Fantasy, and Resident Evil)
Don't have to charge controller.

Cons:
PSN just isn't as good as Xbox Live, or as interactive.
Losing exclusives to Microsoft. so how is "Losing exclusives to Sony" not a con for XBOX?


Really, there isn't much bad to go with either. Once again, if you have more friends on either one, it's probably best you go with that one.


Are you happy, MMMMbeeer?


I have both consoles and I use my PS3 more.

Opinions on games are just that.

I don't think you read that correctly. He said "Sony is losing exclusives to MS", not the other way around. And I personally love GTA so I downloaded and played through both episodes. Of course I was completely pissed to find out that they ended up releasing them on disc after they said they would be download only. Not only that but they are stand alone. That's false advertisement if you ask me. I definitely would've bought the proper GTA4 for PS3 and just bought Episodes separately. I associate GTA with Sony consoles.

Personally I'm very glad I have all three. I can play some Gears, followed by Uncharted and then top things off with New Super Mario Bros.:2thumbs:

2012 is a little more than two years away. The big problem is that blu-ray still costs more than a DVD on average. Lower the costs then people will move. For now, today, and tomorrow, it's not that much of a big deal that the ps3 uses blu-ray and the 360 uses DVD.



batteries still cost money.

Batteries cost a fraction of money. an Arcade + batteries is still less than 300 bucks.



costs money as well
See argument above.

Even if the community is bigger, it does not exclude the whole fact that PS3 doesn't ALWAYS get the patch first.

"but for that cheaper one you have to buy a hard drive which costs an average of $100 unless you want to use a shit 254 mg one"

I could be corrected, but you could buy a 20 gig from microsoft for about 30 bucks for a while if you provided proof you had an Arcade 360. Wrong.

Troll Attempt above.


Xbox Live (Party, Cross-Game Chat, Dedicated Servers, Facebook[Xbox allows you to update from the console; PS3 just spams your facebook wall with trophies you've earned], Last.FM, Twitter)

"we have facebook and servers arent bad enough to justify spendiong the 60 bucks you guys do in a year"

End of the day, the point is that the 360 servers are reliable. Remember the wednesday or so after MW2 was out and the servers were down for the whole day? That type of shit NEVER happens without being planned on XBL. Also, did you not see the functionality of facebook? All you do is post useless information on facebook such as trophy accomplishments. 360, you actually update it. DER GASP.

that no one buys lulz

I own all of them. People buy them. Also, can you school me on what PSN everyone buys? I'm sure since you're trying to "bring the lulz", you can show me some KILLER APP PSN game. No? Shut the fuck up.

"so how is "Losing exclusives to Sony" not a con for XBOX? "

Because Microsoft isn't losing any big exclusives to Sony. Simple as that.

Get your head out of your ass.

Seriously, am I really making the Xbox 360 look that good? Because with the arguments in this, it seems like I made the Xbox 360 some empyreal machine that only the gods are capable of using.
