XBox 360
PS3
as always i would say ps3 unless u really really want halo 3.Originally Posted by Rican219
within the next 6 months there are alot of big games coming out for the ps3 exclusive and alot others that are x-console.
With a failure rate of .2% vs 34% on the 360.. again ps3.
also if you do have a hd tv ur gonna hook this up to BD movies look amazing.
Also just announced is a add-on dual HDTV tuner for the ps3 that makes it a dvr if your into that thing
ORLY? I could give to shits about Halo.
I just got my LCD 42 inch 1080p and I want to have some killer gaming on it.
Blue Ray wouldn't hurt but I want some good gaming.

Most recent cars list is too long
well admitingly atm the 360 does have over all more games. I cant say from a personal view point that those games it does have are any good tho. there are only a few i would be interested in. same on ps3 only a few i own personally. but coming out within the next 6 months I find more ps3 games i want and maybe one 360 game i would even consider.
In the long long run though ps3 is gonna be a overall better system. as developers learn to properly code in the cell processor the games even when x-platform are gonna look alot better and play better on the ps3.
Again best bet is perhaps looking at the future release games yourself if oyu know what u like
i dont think tis gonna take long for the ps3 to trump the xbox 360, i mean to me it already has.. when ps3 home comes out in oct it will be over for xbox 360.. also when 08 hits and all the games come out 360 still cant hang. you will spend just as much trying to get hd dvd player for the 360 and all the acessories.. and with price cuts on the ps3 you cant beat it.. especially if you upgrade the harddrive on the ps3. overall i like the ps3 not just for games but for all the other stuff that it is offering. also blu ray is about to take over the market hd is gonna die out.

I own both the 60gb Ps3 and the XBOX 360 Elite, and I think both have their good points. The xbox has better online play, but the ps3 has way better graphics since it actually outputs in HD, where the XBOX just upscales to HD. The ps3 is a lot smoother and has never froze on me before, but the xbox will freeze from time to time. With the PS3 you can surf the net like a computer, I dont think you can do that with the xbox (or at least i dont know how). The PS3 has a blu-ray player, which outputs in true 1080P 1.3 HDMI. I have a TV that can support it, but if you dont then I guess it doesnt matter to you. I have 300 on blu-ray, and the picture is so good that you can see the pores on the actor's faces. You have to buy the $200 HD-DVD player for the xbox to watch hd movies (and its only 1.2 HDMI as well).
online play for xbox= $50/year
online play for PS3= free forever
I am selling my PS3 for one reason and one reason alone. I dont know anyone else who has one. All my friends have a 360, so when I want to play online or have a tourament I have to use the 360. If I had anyone to play against on the PS3 I would keep it. I just dont use it very much anymore. I will probably go buy another one when gran turismo 5 (or HD or whatever they end up calling it) comes out though.

i say if you have the cash then get the elite now and when all the good games for the ps3 comes out then buy a ps3......then you would have both
btw will the price off the ps3 drop?

u should keep the ps3 and keep it at least for blu-ray movies. its well worth it. blu-ray movies are amazing i own quite a bunch.
also u should keep it as the blu-ray as its can be upgraded to future blu-ray profiles via only firmware updtaes.
nope it will be mine as soon as i get back from nopi and we can meet up

For the forseeable future, there's no contest, strictly in terms of gaming.
PS3's architecture is inferior to the XBox 360's for gaming. The Cell encapsulation is inferior for running games. There is less system RAM and the GPU is inferior. Overall, this bottlenecks the performance and the Cell architecture makes creating quality AI programs difficult.
Also, there are no AAA game franchises on PS3 that are exclusives with the exception of MGS which isn't even out yet.
People can argue about RFOM all they want, but when it boils right down to it, its only an above average game and Gamerankings.com will agree with me here.
When you compare this to games current and future like Halo 3, BioShock, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Too Human etc etc it really doesn't come close.
There's a difference between good games like Warhawk and RFOM and AAA game titles. A year out nobody is talking about RFOM except when PS3 is brought up.
To summarize, Playstation's actual design is not conducive to actually running a video game and there are no AAA games out and the only one on the way is Metal Gear Solid.
Also, the Xbox's thermal issues have been fixed and system break down is no longer an issue on new consoles whether they be Core, Premium or Elite.
I'd like to see anyone refute this argument with actual facts.

Every new system has HDMI.
Also, what the hell do you want with a large hard drive on a gaming console anyways?

[QUOTE]
This is statement is erroneous.
360 owners want a large hard drive down the road.
as newer games are having trouble fitting on a dvd9 disc. recent pgr4 and utIII for examples. plus the 4 disc rpg?
Also the ps3 architecture is very well designed for gaming as well as a miltitude of other things. This hardware arguement ive seen go back and forth for many many months now and all i say now days is just wait and see.
P.S halo 3 = not even 720hd btw im sure you knew that tho.
and yes every 360 except for the core has a HDMI port now. But also no the problems with the 360 have not been fixed. Only in the halo edition 360 has the new falcon core been released. and since thats been out what 2 weeks of course no one can tell yet.
either way. i gotsa run to work! gettin late
I notice you don't even touch the game argument, though.
Even if hypothetically the Playstation was some kind of out of this world gaming console, there's still nothing amazing to play on it. End of story.
iv had a 360 since lanuch,and iv have never used more than 4gb,so i would never buy the 120gb...thats a bmw
and i could care less if i have to change discs,is that how big of fatasses we are,that we wont buy a console if u have to get up and change the disc
360 FTW
Unless you're downloading movies you'll really never fill it up.
Game argument?
Killzone 2, mgs, gran turismo
Those are a few ps3 exclusives.
Now that halo 3 is out, entirely over rated, and I also have a 360 elite with halo
I will say bioshock is a breath of fresh air
I'm not into the whole console war, I play what's fun.

Pretty much.
My friend who has very little interest in games stayed up until 5 last night playing co-op with me.
While she was still awake his girlfriend was sitting there asking us questions about the game.
And it was a blast.
That's something you will never EVER experience on a Playstation 3, sorry.
Are you on live?
The original Killzone blew so why are people expecting Two to be any better?
MGS will, I'm sure, be a high caliber release.
I realize this is a car forum and I'm going to speak blasphemy here, but GT is just a racing game.
Even if it was a AAA title, that's still only two games... that aren't even out yet.
Yeah, I am, if you want to PM me your Gamertag I'll friend you.
im buying a PS3 for one game,and thats socom....ill probbly pick up GT5 too
Guess u haven't seen how it looks now, 1 sucked, which leaves 2 for improvement
Lol, saying gt is just a racing game is like saying halo and bioshock is just a fps.
Ps3 has been out a year now, how many breath taking games came out on the 360 in the first year?
Lol, let the ps3 mature and blast it then

Gran Turismo does not have the depth or replayability of either of those games.
Nor does any racing game, really.
I have seen how Killzone Two looks now, the AI is terrible. Taking cover on the wrong side of objects and the like. Lots of jaggies and rough models. Bumpy textures and bad lighting.
Either way, touting Killzone Two as a killer app when the first sucked doesn't make much sense.
with the new in car view for all the GT cars,thats gonna be amazing.....now i can drive my celica or RX-7 lookin though same way i do in rl
Lol, wow.....being such a ps3 hater, you could work at gamestop/eb games. That's all they do

Its not as if I said "PS3 is the SUCK".
Everything I said was pretty well rooted in fact.
You don't have to say it out right, your beating around the bush.
Everthing you said is well rooted......the statement " gt is just another racing game" or something along those lines...c'mon.
Like I said, let the ps3 mature and developers explore the machine, just like it took developers almost 2 years to get a game like gears of war out.

1 year.
And what I said was actually that the Racing genre inherently cannot have as much depth and replayability as an FPS.
Its not so much that none of those games are out yet as only one AAA quality game is on the horizon.
I'd take a PS3 over a 360, why cause I have had all of them PS, PS2, all I need is #3. =(

so you say i didnt touch the game arguement. If you had read most of this thread you would understand why. im not stupid enough to think that i can argue people into liking games. Ive said many times if u want halo well by all means u get urself a 360 and ull be happy. we all do things for different reasons.
And yes.. upscaling doesnt make it HD. HD is HD. no beating around the bush. Halo3 looks nice but it isnt HD. it could have looked alot better. And its still not HD btw. Anti Aliasing and upscaling doesnt make things 1080p. Sorry. Those are finite rules and regulations on what is HD and what isn't.
But yes as others have mentioned it.
ps3 has sold most units since its launch than the 360 did in a similar time frame. both systems lacked games in similar time frames. Except now the ps3 is maturing at a faster rate with the games being released in the next 6 months that the 360 lacked in their 10-16 month schedule.
And no matter who says what the 34% failure rate is a big deal. Dont even lie saying its not. Go buy a car that breaks down 34% of the time and of that 10% isnt covered under warranty by the manufacturer. thats right.. not everything is replaced by microsoft. Ive sold 3 360's to one lady.. why her husband is stupid enough to keep buying more because he doesnt wanna sell his 200$ library of 4 games..
For alot of people, not everyone so dont come back saying 'well i dont care about it so it isnt true" blu-ray movie capability built in is a nice and huge deal. If media wasn't a deal then the 360 wouldnt even offer a hd dvd add on.
Oh and the thing about some dudes gf asking questions about a game... that will never happen with the ps3?? how is that even remotely a arguement that can be substantiated. if i saw a midget dive off a cliff only to land on a llama in middle of new york while playing the ps3 can i say u'll never see that happen on a 360?
either way i havnt seen the above happen and actually yes i've had many girls ask me questions about games and gaming on my pc, ps3, ps2, wii while i was playing with their bf or someones bf asking while i was playing with their gf or just random people. so yes it happens.
the arguement quoated above that you said isnt true also. its a matter of opinion. there are people who do nothing but play racing games day in and day out as there are people who play fps's day in and day out. I play both. Not all the time but i play both. + other types also. You may not like racing games or think they have any depth but keep in mind you think fps have depth because you play on line. And the idea of racing games is to play alone. Racing games can be played online btw.
Otherwise you tell me you play bioshock alll the time and it has superior depth and replayability? It certainly does not. Neither does halo campaign. or half life campaign. or UT campaign. But all their multiplayers.. cept bio of course do have it. Its the interaction of other people that make the games fun btw, not so much the game itself. Imagine if the game your playing was playing "online" still but vs bots instead of people it would be no fun.
Being a vid World of warcraft player i can say the same thing. the game sucks if no one is online. Sometimes when i log in and no oen i know is on its boring as hell and i leave.
either way im done as ive said before in the the arguement is simple. The ps3 is a superior hardware device. the 360 has a larger *not necessarily better* software lineup. Not neccesarily cus i dont enjoy fps on consoles so the ps3's wider list of genre's is my preference. esp since i can import games from japan as i can read it. But again in the end people will buy the system with the games they want to play. be it halo or be it mgs4. the end. And im sorry but that last part no one can argue unless your simply just looking to argue and if thats the case, please die and yes this is a very very long run on sentence.
after reading the last 6 pages i still can't make up my mind. so here is what i am doing i'm going to get myself a 360 for christmas and go get forza 2 and halo 3 and then when all the good games come out for ps3(mgs4 and Gt)i'll buy a used one on here for the low and go cop those games and come out ahead

That's all.
Get both!!
Xbox 360 only because of Halo 3, thats all you need.
shh your argument makes no sense.
The University of Florida Gators 2008 Football National CHOMPions.
Until you can rationalize why my argument is invalid it stands.
i did invalidate most of your arguements. you just spew the same stuff out. again you feel your opinion is the only one that counts on games.
and sure upscaling creates the pixels but in the end what determines the quality is the Source.
or are you gonna tell me upscaling dvd = hd dvdor even blu-ray?
I can watch that video of yours sure. u wanna watch some of mine? we could throw them at each other. it will be a game! not.
I love how you try to create a valid arguement and judge a game such as killzone 2 without playing it or seeing it in action. That alone will make everyone think you have the best arguement on here.
3 years isnt that great of a warranty if still 10% of those 34% arent warrantied. and u still have to deal with delays on getting your unit back etc etc when you ship em out.
P.S adding heatsinks doesnt solve the problem and it hasnt so far. The problem was the core architecture thus they wanted to redesign it with the falcon core.
your right hd dvd wasnt essential to play games. but blu-ray was because 5 years later games will need 50gb to play.. and the 360 will be looking for some other way to fully incorporate it games.. ooo i know lets make the game downloads. So people have to buy our stupidly priced hd's.
your arguement that fps's have more varied gamestyles isnt true. play on any server for just 3 days and u'll be able to notice how each and every player plays. they do the same things. its not hard.
play starcraft and you'll see just as many different people play different ways. its not just fps's. What does make fps's generally more popular is that anyone can play it and be somewhat decent. you dont have to be smart to play em and so realistically its a great genre for most people in the U.S. we want a mindless game. puzzle games dont do well like they do elsewhere. Rpg's dont do as well. strategy games dont also.
btw having more ram doesnt mean its better. the architecture on the ps3 and how it efficiently utilizes its resources makes it far superior. case and point look at the older p4's and the older amd's regarding their l1 and l2 caches. the amd's ran alot better due to how they set the architecture and the intel's worked but kinda sucked it up. nowdays intel's learned tho.
Again same with GPU.
you sir also provide idiotic statements. That i think its superior because it costs more. I know its superior because i know how it works. and yes its harder to program but in time with dev kits it will become easier. everything that was new at one point was "hard to program" but now their considered easy.
Annnnd if i continue typing anymore the prof is gonna throw me outta the class.
lol, this arguement will never die...
price/features/library will be deciding factory on what you want to purchase...
360 is cheaper
PS3 is more powerful
both are HD
PS3 looks better
360 owns online
both have great games (halo vs. final fantasy)
360 has windows networking capabilities
i wouldn't trade my 360 for a PS3, i've had mine since launch and it hasn't given me 1 issue.
If you really want to continue saying "nuh uh, nuh uh" I'll be forced to dig up the articles, but if you'd like me to I will.
