Re: PS3 vs. XBox 360 Comparison

PSN is about to be a tier service like Live. I own all consoles. I like 360 the best, I can safely say that if I were banned from PSN I would not even consider buying a new ps3. Though Socom>Halo. Id say it is a level field now, the 360 controller feels better in my hand, the ps3 controller feels odd, it would most likely be better if I waited for DS3 to come out before I bought the ps3, the controller is like weightless, not a fan. I used it for bluray for a while, then I just stopped watching movies. In my opinion the ps3 is really just a media box, until a good game comes out to win me for a month or two, and the 360 is a straight gaming machine. Sony is trying to push the ps3 as a gaming machine, and Microsoft is trying to push the 360 as a Media box, conflicting realities and actuality. But one can argue either way. Console wars are stupid, it all boils down to preference.

I like them both for different reasons. i don't like the witch console is better debate. each console has positives and negatives. I own a ps3, psp wii, xbox360, nintendo ds and game on my dell xps m1530.
Top man!! the best atitude to have, i hate people who slate one console cus they got the other its soooooo childish. I got 360, wii, psp and dsi just for the modding, but i believe george hotz is making the ps3 a bit more appealing, if he pulls it off then i will be buying. All as good as each other in different ways, i mean even my 93 year old gran as ago (hats of to the wii), she just cant get the hang of gear of war thought. But 40_ounce.......DELL!!!!!!! Get a f**king life LOL

Re: PS3 vs. XBox 360 Comparison

My ps3 blu ray lens died!

I had to buy a new one off ebay and replace it myself. Costed me like 55 total.

Less problems? Please. Alot of the earlier ps3 and still some new ones blu ray lasers are cheap and break easily. Sony even admitted they suck.

The power system in the ps3 fails alot too and you have to replace the power supply.

Then there's the YLOD that is extremely common these days. Almost all of these problems requires new parts to fix. Which means $$

360 just really has the RROD and you can fix that with 6 dollars of supplies from lowes or if you already have the washers and screws 0 dollars.

360 has way more games and there's even several more comming out soon. Halo reach is just one example.

PS3 Network blows. It has no where near as much stuff as xbox live. Also why would you buy the expensive system if you cant afford 50 lousy bucks a year for xbox live? ALSO NEW PS3 GAMES ARE LIKE 75 DOLLARS! I get booted off PSN alot too. Never Xbox live.

PS3 has like 3 good games total and MAG gets boring fast and theres no single player. Almost all of PS3 games are on the 360 and they're cheaper and have less Screen Tearing. Believe it or not but most new releases for both systems look better on the 360. DarkSiders for example.

Yes I own a ps3 so i'm not biased. I have enjoyed the 360 way more. There's still many 360 exclusive releases comming out and the 360 still has way more games than the ps3. The PS3 also has alot of stupid games no one even plays.

In conclusion if the ps3 didnt have blu ray it would be a hunk of junk imo. We own 2 Blu Ray players here so I don't even use it for that. Walmart had Sony ones on sale for 65 so we stocked up.
