PS3 Vs XBOX360

[Jenan]

So what you are telling me is, that its ok for you to literally talk !@#$ about an entire country's army, people who have given their lives for their country...

I'm pretty sure he was talking about stormtroopers from Star Wars...

lol what was that all about?
I have played both extensively, more than 100+ hours online with both systems.
The majority of what I posted was simply, Fact, not opinion.

WARNING: says the S word.
For 360, the BC is fine, except that they dont offer all original xbox games, only what they call Xbox 2.0 games, basically the not so old ones, or good ones they decided to update or whatever. PS3, as far as I know, you can stick any old PS game in there, it will just look worse than it did originally, no matter what you do.
I have seen this for myself, tested the games simultaneously.
And, if anyone has played any games on both systems, I prestiged twice in CoD4 PS3 version, and once and a half on a 360, 360 players have mics more often, and they have much more skill.
And not just in CoD4, Bad Company was even more of a gap, the ps3 guys sucked pretty bad, when I moved to 360 I was amazed at the skill increase.

Oh yeah, the 360 controllers, the joysticks atleast, are more sensitive, can move faster than the ps3 sticks.
IDK why, it just is.
Or maybe the games are just programmed faster, but you can get more sensitive on a 360 than a ps3.
Also, I think there is a lot more modding for the xbox controllers. Hair triggers and the like. I hate the new shoulder buttons on the PS3, those halfassed triggers or whatever they are.

So in trying to avoid additional fires... ...how about for the gamer aspect the 360 has more players (in part due to its price and earlier release) and thus probably more that have played longer on any given non-exclusive title since rating skill is going be very subjective.

I say pick the one that you think will do the best for your needs whether it be gaming, movies or both.

Man, that's a good example vid. I didn't know if was that noticable.

Well... I was playing MW2 at my friends house today on his 360. It was pretty amazing! And well... I'm pretty sure now that the XBOX 360 is the way to go. I'll pay the $50 / year to play online, not a big deal.

PS3 version of MW2 on my 92" screen...



For numbers as of noon it stated there's 182,000 in the play lists...popular game...LOL

92", Holy Cow man, are you serious, awesome

92", Holy Cow man, are you serious, awesome

Yep...just bought a new projector and screen last month so been waiting to run some current PS3 games to see how it looks. Plus my 5.1 setup needed a workout too...and in MW2 there's tons of audio cues.

I do believe PS3 games look better, the ones that come out for both. The system is atleast 4x more powerful than an xbox, so they SHOULD look a hell of a lot better.
When GTAIV came out, I was playing it on a friends PS3, and went to another friends house, and he was playing it on 360, 360 had this strange, shiny look to it, and the pop in was worse.
I think the ps3 actually had a better draw distance also.

I think you hit it right on the head Kurlon with the player counts and other stuff I was saying. 360 had almost a full year on ps3 right?

Did you make a buy yet Savage Hobo?
Post your username for whatever system you get in the appropriate section and get some game on.

No, I haven't bought it yet. I'm thinking about getting it on boxing day... but I'll definitely let you guys know my username.

More things to take into consideration, that we will need a PS user confirm though.
Xbox live has recently got things like facebook, zune, netflix and live.fm.
I DO NOT know if playstation network does any of this.
Netflix on xbox live works great, much better than streaming onto your pc monitor(for me atleast).

small stuff, but still might sway some people.

[KurlonT]

Netflix (w/ a utility disc) and Facebook are on PSN.
I believe Netflix is going to have full support w/o a disc sometime in Jan.

[Colonel_Tighlon]

So far I've had a better experience streaming Netflix on my PS3 than my 360.

However, my 360 is online through a shared internet connection with a laptop, and that isn't always optimal.

Although, built-in wireless on the PS3 again is another advantage IMO.

[GeneralSnake]

Great point Tighlon, I think the wireless adapter or whatever ms calls it is around $60.
And it wont get you the speeds a cable will, as often as a cable will.
