XBOX 360 vs PS3

lol, i dont care i own both, got both first gens too...LOL suckas....but in my opinion and i can honestly say this cause i own both and am not a fanboy....if there is a game for ps3 and 360 ill buy it for 360, dont know why...probably cause the 360 has better networking...and it pisses me off that when you plug the ps3 into my tv with the hdmi cable it doesnt output for my surround sound system..>WTF!!...and ps3 you cant chat with your freinds while you play a game its all funky...but its free..,..still i rather pay for easy networking then pain in the ass free..
What do you mean the ps3 doesn't output surround? If it doesn't, you just have it set up wrong.
 
The new update supposedly allows cross-game chat. Not sure, as I don't really do any chatting.

The price drop is gonna start bringing the shit-talking 10yr olds over to PSN now. It had nothing to do with much else I imagine.

i don't think that its going to attract more 10 year olds in the sense of gaming because honestly any kids i know that have a 360 sware by halo and cod 4, so what would they play on the PS3?

I highly doubt i'll see a 10 year old on Socom, or Killzone 2 (well maybe but still its hard to imagine)

It's like Rainbow Six Vegas i didn't ever really hear anyone under 15 playing that game cause it was just too hard.

I think the sales spikes will contribute to the Blu ray player alot also, i mean go get a good blu ray is gonna cost you $250 dollars, go get a PS3 that does so much more than a stand alone player is only $300, so i mean that's also a selling factor, i see the ps3 as a more "mature console" cause the exclusives seem like there gritter and harder than the 360 exclusives.

Example Gears of war was easy for many people both online and off, so is call of duty and halo.

games like Socom with realistic approaches and stuff don't attract the lil ones cause they are all about run and gun spray and pray.

i dunno maybe there will be more 10 year olds playing single player games like Ratchet and Clank and Little big planet, maybe even play them online but some of the gems like MGS4 and Killzone 2,Socom won't see the same crowd.

and TBH, MAG is going to be an awesome game but it is hard as hell, and there is a lot going on, being rambo never works in that game and i love it.
 
I like the Xbox for the same reason i hate, It has far more resources, as far as programing resources...Microsoft could do better with many aspects of the device, really it's not like sony didn't already trump the xbox as far as hardware, you would think MS would optimize the system quite a bit more than they did with NX, but then again That's how they string ya

See I don't think Sony is so much going after adults as they are going after people like you, see you grew up with systems like the The Sega Genesis,N64,Game Cube and the PS1, older adults that make up the largest group of gamers 25-35 grew up with Coleco Vision,Atari,Nintendo,sega,then your age group list down to the Current systems, plus kids tend to limit playing certain games whenever, you know....So you are correct, it is geared towards young adult males, or those who will get to take the time and enjoy every aspect of a well thought out game:rockout:
 
haha no i grew up on atari,NES and sega master system, those were my first 3 game consoles just because i wasn't born in that generation doesn't mean i dont enjoy it haha, i love playing old games more so than newer ones i think i spend more time on my wii cause of my emulators than i do on my 360 or PS3, but when it comes to this generation i think with the new price point sony is going to be selling ps3's through the roof, and thats also gonna benefit the blu ray community
 
If any of this makes sense good
ok heres my $.02 i have a xbox 360 got it for free for Christmas i loved the first few months then i got ROD sent it in for free no cost took like 2 weeks not bad got it back now i get ROd once a week and i now want to sell it and get a ps3 why? Grand ?turismo? 5 i love racing games and i love forza 2, but i find that PS3 is just a better buy becuase of the Blue-ray and F@H! will i sell my xbox and get a ps3 no i dont have the time or effort. it is nice that ps3 online is free thow its lke $4 month for xbox live so i say get a PS3

Thats nice to hear, I don't have my PS3 right now, eager to get it back soon.

I think joinmeindeath is a ninja . . . . .
 
Just upgraded my 80GB PS3 HDD to 120GB :rockout:

I may steal the wifes 160GB from her laptop :roll:
 
May catch up!! no no Will catch up LOL Right after the next price drop Which im sure will be right after Xmas

Trust me, there NOT going to drop the price from $299 during xmas(considering this price drop was for the upcoming holiday), the next price drop will indicate that the new generation of systems are coming.
 
now, those are both nifty things, the screen zooming especially, but when it comes down to actually using them in a game, I think they are useless features, maybe a nice addon to the console features, especially the zooming addon and the voice command would be really nice also if I were that lazy.

they're not calendars CDdude . . . .

Who cares, it doesn't have to do with games.

The whole post of his post was trying to say ''OMFg. teh 360 is totaly dead now!!1'', and shows a video of some worthless features.

Come on.

I think they are useless features

The only true thing in there.;)

It is game related. They are giving the new SDK to game developers so they can use them in games, both the seamless zooming and voice command control.

Kool thing is that the PSP does seamless streaming real well too.

Well thats a little cool i guess(if they find alot of cool ways to use in game), but that in NO way should make 360 gamers scared.
