Ps3 or 360

[Stupid Penguin]

If the 360 was so much better than the PS3, developers wouldn't have to worry constantly about developing multiplatform titles around the 360's limits because it is obviously the weaker console. Sure, currently the 360 has a larger selection of games, but the PS3 is quickly gaining.
If you're looking for a console that you want to enjoy for more than a few years, go with the PS3.
Plus, more than half of the people I know with 360's have red ringed. Nobody I know with a PS3 have ever had any problems (except for a friend who bought it used)

 

[mgsgod]

I do admit red ring is a bad and contagious disease but the ps3 doesnt break because you dont play as much as you would with a 360!

 

[Twirly]

I dont own any (own only a wii and love it) of them BUT I would buy a PS3
because:
1. Little Big Planet
2. No Red Ring Of Death
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Final Fantasy Versus 13 (hope this one will be exclusive)
5. Blu Ray
6. Some of the 360 games are for PC too (the shitload of shooters) and i can play shooters better with wiimote mouse well I don't like GOW or Halo 3 anyway.
7. The XBOX 360 exclusives don't interest me that much. (Braid will be available for PC too)

But well that is just my opinion

PS3 nuff said....

Ya see, as I've said in another thread, XBOX 360 is absolutely not the best choice for everyone. Me, personally? I wouldn't trade Uncharted for GoW. Hell, I wouldn't trade resistance for Gears of War. I simply like the PS3's current library better. Now, I have both, and that means I get the best of both worlds. Of course, I've been getting my RPG on on the 360, which isn't what I was expecting to do, but with Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Folklore, MGS4 (Which truly is, I believe the only current gen game so far that will stick with me for the next 10 years), Warhawk, and Super Stardust HD, my PS3 gets about the same amount of playtime. I own roughly equal amounts of games for both.

Now, 360 is gonna pull ahead again once I get off my ass and pick up Infinite Undiscovery and Tales of Vesperia, but I wanted to finish Lost Odyssey first

(It occurs to me - I also adored Heavenly Sword, but I, like many others, finished the game 100% in about two weeks, and it became the first game since SNES that I traded in.)

360 is definitely, definitely the better choice. It's online play is not just better, the PS3's is horrible. You've got great games like Halo3, CoD4, Gears of War, BF Bad Company, and even more to come! Not to mention the huge amount of downloadable content from game demos, even full length games from the original Xbox system, all for like five bucks a piece! Oh and another thing, there is a rumor about MGS4 going on the 360. It is an indie game after all, they can do that.

Also do you really want to be like this guy?

i'm on my 3rd 360, thank you very much hardware failures, but for the price of an 80gb ps3 +2 games + tax i built a computer that runs every current game at like 60fps or higher.

amd phenom quad core or whatever (2.1ghz overclocked to 3.1ghz)
ati radeon 4850 (great graphix card for 200 bux)
2gb ddr2 ram (all i really need as 4gb of ram does some funky things with the latest gfx cards)
cheapass tower, keyboard, mouse, sound card

total price: 600$

i'm playing crysis warhead 1280x1024 (my monitors max resolution) with almost every setting on very high at an average 59 fps.  i don't even know why i still deal with consoles.  i did end up buying a ps3 for little big planet but i could have watched mgs4 on youtube and gotten the same effect i had while playing the game (i.e. sheer boredom)

 

[psiclone]

As mentioned in an above post, PS3 has downloadable content as well from previous versions of the system. They both do.

As sad as I am to say it, FFXIII will NOT be PS3 exclusive. At this year's E3 convention, they announced it would go to the 360. Also at the E3, Konami reminded us that MGS4 will NOT be going to the 360, however future MGS titles WILL be multi platform. Plus, this is here.

The link at the bottom of that article reminds me of this game that I have been waiting impatiently to come out ever since some guy was SO NICE and told me about it 2 years ago (thanks a lot, asshole ), White Knight Story. I'm looking forward to that game.


EDIT:: @Marcus:
I've got 4gb of ram and it's not doing anything with my 8800GTS at all, but noticing that you said "very high", I'm guessing you've got Vista, so I don't know how that works. I play Crysis on my Windows XP 64x at 1920x1200 reso at the highest setting with a mod downloaded that basically improves the graphics to "very high", and I get 30+fps. I'm quite happy with it. If you're looking to get a computer that doesn't come with the gay windows, you should look at www.ibuypower.com, you can build your own computer from scratch there, even choose your OS, they put it together and ship it to you.

 

[Marcus]

it's possible to release mgs4 on the xbox 360... of course the game would be packaged with 16 discs; 10 if it requires an hd-dvd drive.

 

[FlippyD]

Overall I've found the 360 is the best console I've ever bought. It's economic, has lots of options, and has every game I could ever want. The 360 also gets games a week or so before they're shipped for the PS3, and months before Wii versions are shipped.

I travel a lot with my 360, moving it around at least once a week between houses in Chicago, Indiana and Evanston, and despite all of this I haven't had any hardware problems. People with hardware 360 problems are people who bought the system when it first came out. There haven't been any recent red-ring of death reports, so it's a moot topic.

If MGSIV or Uncharted are deal-breakers for you then by all means get a PS3. But if they aren't then you have no reason not to buy a 360.

May be so, but Versus and Agito are both going to be on sony systems (ps3, and psp respectively), there are there, you know.

Oh and another thing, there is a rumor about MGS4 going on the 360.

Yeah I know there is already a cover it looks awesome!

[Spoo]

I really doubt that MGS4 will go on the 360.  Sony won't let it.  After all, it's the only thing that makes the PS3 cool in any sense.

That actually looks cool.

Too bad the guy didn't change the render method so the skewing didn't look like ass in that shop job.

 

[$t3v0]

why is there 20 DVDs?

 

[Twirly]

why is there 20 DVDs?

Because MGS 4 is on Blue Ray Disc which has like 50 gigs
A DVD has like 9 gigs. Someone made this because many Xbox Fans wanted it on XBOX 360.
Actually MGS4 uses the WHOLE Blue Ray Disc. So you would need some DVD'S for MGS 4 on XBOX 360.

 

[Flaepru]

I've got a PlayStation 3, and I really think it's better than the Xbox 360. Why? Well...

• The Xbox 360 got the 3RL (RRoD) problem. EVEN with the Falcon motherboard. That's most likely when it overheats to death. But when a 360 doesn't get a RRoD, it gets Error 74, so your console will end up dying anyway.
• The 360 isn't getting MGS4. Kojima himself stated that. Kojima team optimized MGS4 for the PS3 hardware, and uses some features they'd have to completely rewrite do the 360, and that wouldn't be easy/cheap. Plus, Kojima prefers the PS3. Also, 33gb (it's 33gb of game, not 50) would take three DVDs and that's more expensive than a double-layered blu-ray disc.
• The PlayStation Network is growing every day more and more, and now it's the same as Xbox Live. You have a lot of downloadable games (WipEout HD, Burnout Paradise, Crash 3, Elefunk, Pain, and a lot more), demos, and the Qore, which I personally like. Plus, it's free.
• Technically, the PlayStation 3 has more processing power but less filling rate, however, Killzone 2 trailers show amazing textures never seen on the Xbox 360 (whcih is one year older than the PS3).
• Even with many games going to 360 first, PS3 versions get extras. Just check Eternal Sonata and BioShock for the PS3.
• The 360 got a lot exclusives, but many of them suck (aka Viva Piñata, Ace Combat 6). PS3 got the top-rated games. 360 = amount, PS3 = quality. Some PS3 exclusive games:
  
  Resistance | Resistance 2 | Killzone 2 | God of War III | Final Fantasy Versus XIII | White Knight Chronicles | Quantum Theory | Heavy Rain | L.A. Noire | Haze | Heavenly Sword | Uncharted | Metal Gear Solid 4 | Lair | MotorStorm | MotorStorm 2 | Gran Turismo 5 | Disgaea 3 | Mist of Chaos | Tears to Tiara
  
  Not to mention Star Ocean 4, Tales of Vesperia and other 360 "exclusives" that will, eventually, come to the PS3.

That's why I've choosen PS3. Now, it's up to you.

No. This simply isn't true. A very small percentage of systems have errors, and when they do, it's usually possible to get it fixed or replaces by Microsoft.

The 360 isn't getting MGS4.

So? That's only one game movie, and not a particularly good one. If it wasn't the latest game in a series with thousands of raging fanboys, then it wouldn't mean crap.

The PlayStation Network is growing every day more and more, and now it's the same as Xbox Live. You have a lot of downloadable games (WipEout HD, Burnout Paradise, Crash 3, Elefunk, Pain, and a lot more), demos, and the Qore, which I personally like. Plus, it's free.

You say yourself that it's the same as Xbox Live (i'll ignore that a good number of people would agree that Xbox's online features are superior). So, if it's the same, then this is a moot point.

Technically, the PlayStation 3 has more processing power but less filling rate, however, Killzone 2 trailers show amazing textures never seen on the Xbox 360 (whcih is one year older than the PS3).

So? People love to cite raw power when comparing systems, but when stackes up against the price of the system, it simply doesn't mean anything. You even negate your point on your own, by saying that the Xbox is older than the PS3. Clearly, it wouldn't have the same kind of statistics as the PS3 in that case (and thus, it's significantly cheaper and has a larger library of games -- so how does this point favor the PS3?)

Even with many games going to 360 first, PS3 versions get extras. Just check Eternal Sonata and BioShock for the PS3.

Very few people care about extras. People care about the games themselves. A few extra little things thrown in here and there isn't usually worth the significant price difference between the systems.

The 360 got a lot exclusives, but many of them suck (aka Viva Piñata, Ace Combat 6). PS3 got the top-rated games. 360 = amount, PS3 = quality. Some PS3 exclusive games:

Entirely objective ("these games are better than these games"). If this was a valid point, then I'd be equally as valid to cite Viva Piñata, Braid and Banjo-Kazooie as Xbox exclusives that are better than your PS3 exclusives (and to someone who wants to play a game as opposed to ogle graphics, then they are better). This is another moot point.

So breaking down your post, these are your "reasons" why the PS3 is superior to the Xbox:

• PS3 has similar online capabilities as the Xbox 360.
• The PS3 is more "powerful" than the Xbox360 because it's a newer console and twice as expensive.
• Some PS3 games, which are available for both consoles, have little extras.

Well. I guess I'm sold!

No. This simply isn't true. A very small percentage of systems have errors, and when they do, it's usually possible to get it fixed or replaces by Microsoft.

Oh, I forgot. Here in Brazil, people have to buy their consoles from Paraguay because it's a lot cheaper (we'd pay U$ 900 on a Premium 60GB Xbox 360), and they have 3-month-warranty.

The 360 isn't getting MGS4.

So? That's only one game movie, and not a particularly good one. If it wasn't the latest game in a series with thousands of raging fanboys, then it wouldn't mean crap.

Many people like the game, but there are a lot of other games also.

The PlayStation Network is growing every day more and more, and now it's the same as Xbox Live. You have a lot of downloadable games (WipEout HD, Burnout Paradise, Crash 3, Elefunk, Pain, and a lot more), demos, and the Qore, which I personally like. Plus, it's free.

You say yourself that it's the same as Xbox Live (i'll ignore that a good number of people would agree that Xbox's online features are superior). So, if it's the same, then this is a moot point.

I just stated that because people say that Xbox Live is far superior than PSN and people should get a 360 instead PS3 because of that, but that's not true. They're almost the same.

Technically, the PlayStation 3 has more processing power but less filling rate, however, Killzone 2 trailers show amazing textures never seen on the Xbox 360 (whcih is one year older than the PS3).

They've already learned how to code on the Cell -- and that's pretty good. Great graphics games are coming out, like White Knight Chronicles and Killzone 2.

Even with many games going to 360 first, PS3 versions get extras. Just check Eternal Sonata and BioShock for the PS3.

Very few people care about extras. People care about the games themselves. A few extra little things thrown in here and there isn't usually worth the significant price difference between the systems.

Well, I'd really say many people do care about extras. They're pretty cool, actually.

The 360 got a lot exclusives, but many of them suck (aka Viva Piñata, Ace Combat 6). PS3 got the top-rated games. 360 = amount, PS3 = quality. Some PS3 exclusive games:

Entirely objective ("these games are better than these games").

This is another moot point.

Banjo-Kazooie has died after it left the N64, Viva Piñata is WAY childish. X360 and Wii are like the PS2, as they sell they're free, people start to make idiot games for them just to fill.

So breaking down your post, these are your "reasons" why the PS3 is superior to the Xbox:

• PS3 has similar online capabilities as the Xbox 360.
• The PS3 is more "powerful" than the Xbox360 because it's a newer console and twice as expensive.
• Some PS3 games, which are available for both consoles, have little extras.

• Yes. That is true. People should not choose one of the consoles because of online system.
• No, it's not what I meant. I meant that, beign one year newer, the PS3 had less time to be learnt on how to develop games.
• Yep. They do. And people care. And it's cool.
• Just to add: PS3 exclusives owns 360's. And no third-party stays more than a year a 360's exclusive.

 

[Twirly]

X360 and Wii are like the PS2, as they sell they're free, people start to make idiot games for them just to fill.

At least those systems have some REALLY good games...
