PS3 Vs 360

Resistance is a great game. System seller? Not really but no one said it was. Still, it's one of the best games I've played in awhile regardless of system.

Although I'll prolly pick up a PS3 sometime...the kicker for me was that I have several friends I play GOW with that have both systems and all play the 360 all the time.

Whoah...$100 on an HDMI is rediculous. Buy online next time and get it for $10 or $20.

I have a PS3 I got on launch day and a 360 from launch day. Played both extensively. (Well, maybe not extensively since I only have 2 PS3 games. I'm at about 21 games for the 360)

The PS3 has numerous problems that still annoy the heck out of me. Controller has to be connected when doing firmware updates, not charging in off mode (although this might be changing very soon), lack of online integration, slow downloads, limited demos, limited arcade games for sale, and the total butchering of video resultions for games and movies are all things that should have been fixed long ago.

Just about every game on both systems runs better on the 360. This means graphics and motion-wise.

Everyone has their own take on BluRay...I personally don't care about it and don't think it will be around very long. There's better storage right around the corner that will be affordable soon...or combo players.

BluRay players are dropping in price and are under $600 for some models now.

My opinion right now is Sony dropped the ball and will be playing catch up for the next 4 years. Then, the 3rd xbox will drop and they will really be faced with a tough decision. Their hopes of a 10-year cycle is just plain stupid nowdays with technology advancements.

I buy online all the time and looked at HDMI cables online. I paid extra partly for the I want it now factor but also for better quality cable.

I can't compare to earlier versions of the PS3, online play, or the 360 as I have little or no experience with them so I'll take your word for it. I have not tried doing a firmware upgrade but my controller does charge in off mode.

I agree that better storage technology already exist, but I don't think it will be affordable soon enough to render Blu-Ray a fad.

I totally agree that Sony dropped the ball and that a 10 year life cycle is crazy. Continually pushing back the launch date of the PS3 coupled with having the largest price tag of the 3 competing systems has turned many people away from it. I think Microsoft could be poised for a run that will leave Sony and Nintendo playing catch-up for much more than 4 years.

What I was getting at earlier was just that each of these systems has there pros and cons and it depends on what your personal preferences are as what to get. I just wanted to lay a little bit of info on the PS3 out there for the person trying to decide what to get.

^ Overall correct. Except that Sony and Microsoft will both be playing catch-up with Nintendo.

Nintendo is selling systems at a much faster rate than Sony or Microsoft, and is doing so in a much more profitable manner.

That said, there's a system for everybody.

For instance, I like an in-depth game that's going to take me 50, 100 or more hours of gameplay to beat. I don't like shooters, I've been playing them since I was seven, I believe the market is saturated and shooters can't make any more real progress (that's not to say they won't continue to be popular -- clearly the case).

Because of that, I like the PS3 the best because its exclusive titles are enough to keep me interested.

However, if somebody is looking for a quick but mature experience, something they can delve right into, or looking for best bang for the buck on cross-platform gaming (EA stuff), the XBox 360 is the way to go.

Somebody looking for a fun, interactive experience who doesn't want too much heavy fare should get a Wii.

It's all based on what's right for you. Anybody who says the same system is the best system for everybody is an idiot.

I mean, I'm not going to suggest that these Microsoft-worshipping, EA Games-loving fools pick up a PS3, because their short-sightedness won't allow them to have a good time with it.

:peace:

360 is the best now, and will be going forward... MS has shown the commitment to their customer base, now, all they need to do is get rid of that rediculous microsoft points deal, and with their next console, give you the OPTION of using a Wii like controller.
