Mods, if you could please delete this thread or lock or whatever y'all do best. :)

Why? Something wrong with this thread? Thought everybody kept their experiences and opinions pretty civilized.

Have fun and good luck w/ the elite.

PS3 unless there are some XBOX exclusives that you absolutely must have.

H3LlIoN · 11-12-2009, 07:50 PM

As an XBOX 360 owner, buy a PS3. It's a superior system, with the bluray and built in wireless, not to mention web-browsing and free online play. Wireless is $79 extra on xbox, and live is $49 a year.

Now to explain, I have the xbox for 2 reasons;

a) All my friends play on XBL, and the two networks are not cross compatible.
b) The games I play are xbox only. (Halo, GoW)

RUFFSTUFF · 11-12-2009, 09:39 PM

The only knock on the PS3 is that not all are backwards compatible with PS2.

As you can see the ones made in the last year are not BC. Sony removed the 2 processors for compatibility to reduce production cost...

TinyGiant · 11-12-2009, 09:40 PM

and xbox 360 is?

Not really. But the PS3 was compatible at one time now it isn't. I have a 500GB PS3 and it is BC. Oh yeah... it is really easy to upgrade the hard drive on the PS3, for cheap. Try that with a 360.

RUFFSTUFF · 11-12-2009, 09:42 PM

They neutered ones have this neat little sticker...

But, and this is the kicker, they may play PS1 games even if it doesn't play PS2!

DevilGirl · 11-13-2009, 09:26 AM

The x-box 360 has a higher number of online players in the network. PS3 does not. Then again, this could partially be because PS3 is still new and was not all that affordable for most people. In our house we have all 3 of the majors (360, PS3, and Wii). He hasn't really bought any games for the PS3, and the new ones that have come out he has gotten for the 360. Again, mainly because all his friends play on X-Box Live. Personally, I'd so go Wii. I love Nintendo, always have, always will.

I love my 360. I picked it simply for the games and better online playability(if that's a word). I did get the "RINGS OF DEATH(screaming epic voice)" and though I was pissed that it had happened. I found MS customer service to be absolutely excellent plus I got a FREE 3 year warranty extension. Keep in mind that I have the first gen of 360's....which means no HDMI output and only a 20gb HD. As far as online being 50 dollars a year it's very much worth it. Lets face it the only reason Sony's online is free is because they know they can't compete with MS on that front. IDK....I can name a lot of great games exclusively for the 360. Maybe there's a reason why a lot of game developers no longer make games just for the PS anymore. One big one being Square Enix.

It is a known fact that it is easier to port a 360 game into a PC platform than a PS3. Due to the simplicity of the 360 platform it is also easier just to code a game for the 360. To the game manufacturers, easier = cheaper = more profit.

why? · 11-13-2009, 06:06 PM

eh, not really. To get the latest greatest games to run right on a pc costs mega money. Consoles are usually much cheaper for that. Plus consoles have a much better selection of games, usually.

Mouse · 11-13-2009, 06:26 PM

The PS3 is the better entertainment console of this generation.

The 360 is the GAMERS console.

The Wii is for everyone.

RUFFSTUFF · 11-13-2009, 06:40 PM

The Wii is for people who don't know how to set the clock in their car...

Excuse me??????????

I happen to own a Wii. Oh, and I know how to set the clock in my car. As well as deal with a lot of other electronic equipment. I like the Wii for the simple fact that it is different. It is not the typical gaming system because for the most part it gets you up off the couch.
