Half of those are inccorrect

Do you realize most of the items in your list are very outdated, or outright wrong?

I’m not saying people should rush out and buy a ps3, but you’re presenting a lot of false info, and things not even relevant.

You just ripped this list off from here: http://www.thepcspy.com/blog/how_sony_screwed_up

Why don’t you come up with some original content instead of ripping people off?

He probably wrote them as the events happen so maybe he writes one every week or so

“63 PS3 will cure cancer” ...

This sucks !! im getting Wii first for sure

teh only way to know who made it first is by checking the date it was made

it also says that at the top that the list was NOT created by him/her/it

Wow i love seeing the sony fanboys try and defend the crapstation that they all wasted their money on
ha have fun
should have just bought the 360

ok first of all, the list there some are true but do u realize that the 360 or the wii won’t keep up with the ps3 it may not b complete right now i know that but everything thats wrong with it u can clearly get an update to fix the problem, i have a 360 it broke on me already 8 times… not 3 but 8 times, ps3 games r pretty much going to end up being better cause right now the games that came out look like the recent ones from xbox 360 but imagine wait till the same time they advance it won’t keep up u should just wait n c, its expensive cause try to buy a blue ray dvd player tell me how much it costs huh? plus its wireless to play hd dvds on 360 waste another 100 bucks, so yea thats um same price as ps3 now? man they r the same u just don’t c it..

wow thats one of the stupidest things ive ever read, nothing but repatition and lies

PS3 rules! XBOX 360 sucks! Wii is okay! THis article stinks it should be 120 ways not to buy a XBOX 360…

Also, Not Spellchecked.

im just meen no say that you dont have to choose ive you can buy tham all they all got someting special
and i agree that ps3 rules ive got a tattoo of the playstation controller buttons (the right whones)
so dont come to me that im saying that ps3 sucks i love it and i havnd even got to play on the damn thing!!!

ohh and by the way its easy to repeat things youve alraydy sayd....

correction - ohter peopole sayd before

the ps3 is worth it because of good graphics and free live

ive had my 360 for 6 months and had no problems with it.the blue ray is no diffrent from hd dvd.sony sucks anyway how many times has sony screwed as over big time.i had a ps2.psp but sony makes you sick so fuck sony microsoft deseves to win.

dude, please keep the website alive in 2008 when sony retains the crown.

Please oh please use some form of spell check next time. And over all, i think this is meant as a joke.

Just to let everyone know, not all of us had HD capable TVs. So the whole high def/blu ray arguement doesn’t really matter to some.

The reason MS makes people pay for live is that it’s really expensive to run a sever of that size. Not to mention they let you download demos for free so you can minus your game rentals from blockbuster.(Or where ever you rent games.)

I got my 360 mid 06 and you know what? I haven’t had it break down once. It has froze up once or twice, but it seems to only do it with a few games. I therefore contribute that to the games.

“113 Tony Hawk Project 8 better on the 360"-That’s an opinion, if I wanted it, would have asked.

“88 eBay bans preorder-sellers"-Is that Sony’s fault....or eBay’s?

“116 PS3 demos suck"-Wow, another opinion. Not surprised.

“122 Four people shot waiting for PS3s"-One was shot because he didn’t give up his money, not his PS3. Another was the drive-by shooting.

“119 CoD3 is better on the 360"-Again with the opinions.

“120 You don’t get a power cable with the rechargeable controllers"-So the cable that is in front of me is imaginary?

You don’t want opinions? Well here you go:

1. Cost’s $600. Only a Sony fanboy can agree with that.
2. Controller design. Ugh...I almost threw up when I first held it. Its like holding a fresh turd and sqeezing it.
3. Good games? Haha, no. Resistance? Yeah its nice. Got an 8.4 on IGN. Prey, not even the 360’s signiture game, got a 9.0. Twilight

Princess got a 9.4.
4. Amazing innovation. Simply astounding. That little interface button in the middle? You’ll never find something like that on the 360

controller. Ever. I mean, Sony thought of that allll by themselves.
5. Again with the great innovation. SIXAXIS. Theres nothing bad about that nice feature. Is there anything good?
7. Game production costs reaching 24 mil. Game companies like Atari won’t be making games for them for a while....
8. Apparently, its extremely diffcult coding for Cell. That, again will alienate third party publishers.
9. Cell is more powerful then any one of the 360’s 3 processors. Any ONE of the three. On the otherhand, its nicer then Wii. But is Wii

made for graphics?
10. This is an opinion, not against the PS3 but its fans: PSTriple? Sounds like a taco.
11. Remember the Cell? Because its so hard to program for many games were cancelled.
12. Blu-Ray. I know we can agree it was unnecesary, isn’t it? I know ‘most’ Sony fanboys have to agree, it wasn’t the best choice, seeing

as it costs 20-30 USD more. It has double the memory, but what about interchangable disks?
13. Blu-Ray, unfortunately is losing the format war, due to lacking support. :(
14. HD-DVD has so far been able to capture all other movies with greater audio and picture.
15. Sony’s online services are simply horrid, or so I’ve heard from PS3 users. As for me, I’m not exactly sure what they mean, but im

gonna go with the 12:1 ratio and say its pretty bad.
16. Exclusives. Yes, fanboys I know you just hate that word with your soul. But when it comes down to it, its a major defining factor.
17. Textures simply aren’t all they should be cracked up to be. Don’t ask why, just look at Resistance, then Gears.
18. Anyone remember Betamax? Eh tu, Blu-Ray?
19. http://youtube.com/watch?v=R98qC0fd_1w&mode=related&search= :p sorry, just had to have that there.
20. $600. Good ****, why man?

Jesus Christ, sorry I stated that half of the shit on this site is untrue. If your calling me a fanboy of Sony your wrong, look at what you wrote. All the facts you just stated are bashing against Sony, so turn that finger your pointing around.

Also, in any of my statements did I bash?
No.

i have a 360 and, fair enough the graphics r shit hot. however it has broke down on me twice already and now i am seriously considering a ps3 which from what i have heard is some how meant to b crap which i fail to understand cause it costs so much and had bn delayed for so long for it to b crap.

Im not sure about you lot but I believe the sony “We’re not arrogant” and “4D Graphics” quote should be in there… Also when they said the Wii was “A bit pricy” this console just blows entirely and has spoilt my childhood memories. I’ll just stick with my Wii And 360 that Run faster, have better disc drives and dont require ownership of a big shot company to afford one. Also sony screwed Europe so bad and the fact that they laughed at the 360’s back compat of now over 50% of games and theres is what… I dunno, and of course they’re charging £15 for PS1 games over Sony’s version of Live.
Thank you for your time.

BTW some guy posted reasons why not to buy a 360 (I know he must have been in a car crash or something or maybe hes just ashamed cos he wasted his money) but 1 of the reasons was “No built In HD DVD player"… Err neither does the grillstation 3, or the crapstation 3 It doesn’t deserve the name playstation as the company said “The PS3 Is not a game machine” Also it has a blu ray drive, which is slow and blu ray sucks, so yeah, choke on your failed argument.

Who gives a shit what system is better? People are going to buy what they want to play what they want.

At the end of the day I dont care if the system has the best graphics on it, I play a game for the fun of it, the flow of it.

Hell I love to play Sonic the Hedgehog from time to time and still find it entertaining...then I jump back to Halo 2 :P

*Grabs Sega, grabs Sonic games...looks around evily*

Greate list :)

are you fucking retarded?  This is a joke.  more than half those reaons were published pre maturely.  And to say that it is as powerful as an xbox 360?  360 sucks, halo sucks.  Get your facts straight before you disenfranchise the only good next gen console.

oh, and I hope you guys with xbox live enjoy paying a monthly fee for laggy servers. Sony was nice enough to provide free online multiplayer with dedicated servers to ensure smooth and enjoyable game play.  As if Halo didn’t suck enough, its pretty hard to play when its as choppy as trying to run half life 2 on a windows 95.  You all complain about the ps3 price tag, which is dropping down to $399.99 this week, but microsoft is the one in the end who is charging more.

Saying that halo sucks is premature too, you idiot. At least Halo 3 which at this point is the one i have to assume you are talking about. The severs aren’t “choppy”, not all the games use microsoft servers. Halo 2 used servers provided by Bungie. Halo 3 will run off of Microsoft’s dedicated 360 severs. I have to question your understanding of networking if you think that they didn’t use dedicated servers for each game. You know, 1000’s of players (Currently 64,000 playing halo 2 right now) accessing the same network and have to stay synced is a feat.

I can’t say anything on the ps3 due to not playing it but i have to ask if they give out demos, game videos, patches, etc. for free? Is it simple to navigate, to actually see what your friends are playing?

Another point i would like to add is that their are no exclusive games for the ps3 that would make me go get them. Even the Wii has better exclusives.

Though i do think about 1/4 of the points weren’t true and sony have corrected about another 1/4 of them. Oh, and one last note, Half life 2 can’t play on a windows 95 at all.

First of all, sony does provide free demos, movies add ons and they are soon to launch their new application home.  Home will allow every ps3 owner in the world to communicate with one another in a virtual world.  The possibilities are endless for this.  Every thursday the ps3 store updates and for the past 2 weeks, there have been 5 demos each and about 10 new trailers.
And as for Halo, I’m just talking about the game in general.  There is no unique quality to this game.  i own the first halo for pc and was expecting to be blown away by the information I had heard about it.  It was a boring and stupid game.  Nothing special that I haven’t found in any other basic FPS.

Oh, and one last thing.  If you are looking for exclusives, Metal Gear Solid 4.  Since the MGS series has always been better than the halo one, mg 4 will be game of the year, hands down.

Hm, lets see, well then, Xbox live may be going free soon, and i don’t mind paying 40 quid a year (seriously I could make that much by picking up pennies off the floor) of course halo 3 will suck yeah, with it’s choppy servers now lets see if the beta was brilliant with minimal lag that means aha, you’ve guessed prematurely give yourself a pat on the back you retarded ass munch. Also I like the fact I can find my friends on X-box live thanks to the dashboard which is slightly more sophisticated then the PS3 one that is also available to PSP users, I’m pretty sure that a list of icons is really easy to navigate. Now lets see, exclusives, We had Ninja gaiden but wait your getting it now, well for 10 times the price, but its got better graphics clearly I should get a PS3 of course, its so clear, we’ve also got Halo 3 (its gonna be immense), Lost Planet, Gears of war (Which given have PC equivalents but i don’t see em on PS3, oh yeah they’re not) any others to add anyone? I’m sure id love to buy a crapstation 3 just to play resistance, an FPS where the guns aim for you. Sorry, not everyones as tardish as you.

Also correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t MGS2 An ‘exclusive’ other then it appearing on every console under the sun.

well you bring up an interesting point- all xbox exclusives have pc equivalents. But wait a minute, doesn’t exclusive mean it is only for one system?  Lets do a little math.  Pc+xbox= 2 systems.  The only question is why buy an x box when you can get the 1, maybe 2 games micrsoft has to offer when you can just play them on a computer.  as for the ps3 dash board, I guess your right about icons being a bad idea.  I mean why would I want a simple menu that is easy to navigate.  Great observation.  Now onto Halo. This is just me, but when a game comes out with a sequel, I actually enjoy changes to improve the game, especially one like Halo that needs improvement, but thats just me.  I guess it is fun paying money for sequels that have no improvements.  And no, I don’t consider the addition of a few new shitty vehicles or the occasional new weapon.  You sounded like such an expert on Resistance, except for the fact that 100% of what you said was bull shit.  You can toggle auto aim on and off. And clearly you are wrong about Mgs 2 being an exclusive, because as you said it was on the other systems, which there for is not an exclusive, unless you are going by microsofts standards.  Well any, enjoy playing you’re shitty third installment of a game full of flaws you fucking retarded dumbass.

When microsoft says exclusive, they mean that they have exclusive “rights”. Now what does microsoft make...PC and Xbox’s. So yeah, it’s still exclusive.

And it seems your not the expert on halo 3 either because it’s only been out for ONE day. I haven’t even finished campaign mode yet. And have you ever heard of something called patches? They fix things that gamers find wrong. The developers can’t get them all during beta. I have to admit that halo 1 wasn’t all that good in gameplay. It was the story that drove that game. Halo 2 improved significantly over halo 1 but suffered in story. I can’t say anything for the 3rd as i have yet to finish. But up till the control center, it is awesome. Though i keep hitting the equipment button trying to reload.

@Xaero: Halo 3 beta didn’t have that many people, therefore less lag. And for anyone that puts Halo 3 down for lag during the first two weeks is a idiot. The network has to learn who is the best hosts to make it less laggy.

“I can’t say anything on the ps3 due to not playing it but i have to ask if they give out demos, game videos, patches, etc. for free? Is it simple to navigate, to actually see what your friends are playing?” I was actually asking. I didn’t know if it did or not.

The ps3 store, which is free, updates every thursday.  For the past two weeks, 10 demos, 17 trailors, and 1 new buyable game came out.  And yes it is easy to navigate and on your buddy list it says what game your friend is playing. And when you play that game online, it gives you the option of joining that server.

Ok, i will scratch that off my list for my the PS3 sucks. It is becoming a smaller list as time goes on.

Ok, i will scratch that off why list for my the PS3 sucks. It is becoming a smaller list as time goes on.
(Sorry, major typo)

Lol, you spelt trailers wrong, also I did play resistance but i found it so long-winded, boring and bland that i didn’t want to play it long enough to become an ‘expert’. also I said that MGS 2 was originally an exclusive just like MGS 4 and now its on everything, please read my comments before charging blindly into an argument you giant pile of turtle dung. Also I’m pretty sure the idea of a sequel is to continue a storyline, I’d play Halo 3 with Halo graphics as long as I got to finish the storyline.

Also the Xbox 360 dash board is simple and easy to navigate, but it looks cool rather then the same PSP GUI (If you’re as retarded as your making out then you may want to google GUI.) Also, paragraphs, it makes stuff easier to read.

And what’s this I hear about people dropping out of sony’s ring of buddies because cell processors are terrible to code for hmm, i wonder.

Just to put the nail in

http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6162742/

Outdated I know, but still its good to look at, well the 360 images are anyway (can’t say the same for them blurry ps3 images, urgh)

well when in a debate you start attacking the one spelling mistake I made and the whole paragraph thing, clearly you’re running low on points to back up your little 360.  Luckily you know some pretty strong insults though, I’m still recovering from being called a giant pile of turtle dung, but I’m sure I’ll some day get over it.  It also seems like you must be running out of points when you bring up outdated news on the systems.  A key reason why the ps3 will always be better, is it uses blu ray( with a free blu ray player) while the 360 requires a 200 dollar add on for HD Dvd, which will soon enough parish much like the beta.  PS3 hasn’t even been out for a year, so can’t expect the best games to be out immediately.  I’m still waiting for Microsoft to actual pull of something impressive.  Sure Bioshock and gears of war were pretty good but unlike several of sony’s games, not quite that good. 
By the way, next time you post something, rather than being a fucking queer, have something at least entertaining to say rather than give a little lesson grammar you ass, and maybe pick up some real insults, you know, like ones that didn’t originate in a pre school class.

heh, news flash! Not everyone has a HD TV to use anyways.

Yeah, but enough people do.  You’re not doing justice to the ps3, or 360, if you don’t take advantage of the hdmi imports.

If your looking for a cheap but nice hd tv, I highly recommend the 32” olevia LCD.  Because it is a fairly new brand, they are quite cheap and compared to my 42” panasonic plasma which cost quite a bit more, I think that the olevia looks just as good if not better on several occasions.

I’ll look into it.

No when I pull out old news in a debate its because I have lots of good things that I could complain about the PS3 I just couldn’t be arsed to go through the long ass list so lets have a quick look shall we.

whiny fan-base, realize they made a mistake by buying this piece of shit so they try to make it look like they didn’t waste there cash.

Blu-ray, who the fuck needs blu ray, look at Betamax, never heard of it? Well then Betamax was an attempt to compete with VCR and though it posed more storage it was a piece of shit technology.

Sony’s console makers are giving in after the PS3 they announced after Halo 3 kicked there ass into the ground (though they should continue the portable, i quite like it)

Bad textures, or maybe thats developers fault, I don’t really care, when I’m playing a game I’m not massively into graphics but I like to stop and take a look around to see what style the creators are following.

I have terrible insults I’m sure but that’s because I’m using a tiny amount of my brain to create them as you don’t deserve some of my better insults, I’m sure you might want to stick your own head in liquid nitrogen to cool down your head after you thought up such immense arguments.

When i reference outside pages it is actually to show it is not just me that thinks the PS3 sucks but quite possibly most of the internet, when they drop the price a bit and get some good exclusives then maybe I’ll look.

Ridiculous claims are also a reason the PS3 is wank, maybe sony knocked down the anticipation slightly by introducing useless technology that will no doubt out date quickly then by boasting they will have 4D Graphics, wouldn’t that mean that (4th dimension being time) the game would have to continue playing fully when you turn off the console or remove the disc.

Six-axis, of course the motion sensor idea was there way before the wii came out with there’s.

Look at the sales figures also, but can your fanboy brain handle such immense numbers I wonder?

And for the record, your spelling, grammar and punctuation are terrible, it keeps me up at night thinking that there are people that couldn’t pass GCSE English (or are you American maybe, that may explain your bigheadedness and immature retaliation without cold hard fact to back stuff up like I don’t know playing the 360 for at least a good few days before whining about it, or maybe you were born with a stick up your arse)

Also I don’t mind paying a little extra for a HD-DVD player, if it were in already the console would have cost more to buy and replace however if my 360 busts after warranty I can just replace the console then use my current controllers, hard drive, headset, cables, Intercooler attachment and should I choose to purchase it HD-DVD player with the new console.

And I do expect your 360 to bust after warranty, just like so many others.  And have I never heard of betamax? obviously I have seeing I already mentioned it.  Maybe you should actually read the arguments before you just bring up some boring nonsense just for the sake of trying to convince yourself you didn’t make a bad choice buying a 360. 
And what the fuck are you talking about 4D graphics and the game still playing when you turn the console off? I don’t have time for all your annoying fucking bull shit that makes no sense.  Generally the stuff you write is stupid and annoying, but your last entry was just down right fucked up.  And I’m also glad you’re a racist, that’s always fun....

It’s not racism, have you ever played online with most americans, some are cool but a lot are loud mouthed, obnoxious and big headed. Also, well done you tried to use my argument against me, I can at least congratulate you with that. As for 4D graphics, it is a line taken directly from sony themselves, when in the early stages of the PS3 they claimed that the PS3 would boast 4D graphics. Frankly I think my 360 was not a bad purchase, I’ve had many hours of enjoyment out of it and haven’t regretted any purchases (except maybe kameo and ridge racer).

OK, can we stop insulting each other and start debating actually facts? So far i have the PS3 as having slightly better graphics, but is a bitch to code in and therefore no one is coding for it. The 360 has better games, can tie into your computer (though i have found this feature to suck), and is able to be expanded.

Seeing that the 360 launched a year ahead of the PS3 and is still parallels the PS3 graphical, I have to say microsoft did a good job.

Or sony did a shit job…

I agree on a debate, but when Xaero started running out of facts, he decided to make it personal.  Xaero really has no reason to even be here seeing he had like one or two half decent points to make. I completely agree with you on the fact ps3 has better graphics and the 360 has better games, for now.  Seeing that it had a year head start, the PS3 show much promise in the near future with a possible FF7 remake, MGS 4, Ratchet and clank and so many others.

Square enix said they are not confirming a FF7 Remake and it shall probably remain a rumor. Plus I have plenty of decent points but I’m too damn lazy to fact check them. And graphics wise 360 and PS3 are at very least even if the 360 doesn’t pull ahead slightly in textures and such.

Plus I don’t make things personal, I simply exist to annoy people really. You provoked me.

How can you say the 360 has better graphics when you a) dont even hve an hd tv, and therefor are not using the hdmi input and b) know you are just making shit up.  The PS3 clearly already has better graphics and the game developers have only tapped into a ridiculously low amount of the ps3 cell processor, and there for will greatly improve. If you look at the difference from the early ps2 games to the current days one, you will see the improvement sony has been known for.  You are just being a fucking jack ass who pays no attention to actual facts and just another microsoft fan who will say anything to make the 360 look better.  How old are you anyway? because my guess is you’re about 5, maybe 6.

1) I have looked into this and played both a PS3 and Xbox 360 on a HD tv with a HDMI input. From the 6 games I have played on each the textures tend to be better on the 360 (and I’m a sucker for textures, you can have all the polygons in the world but they’d suck without good textures.)

2) I am a Microsoft fan yes though I will admit they’ve fucked up in ways like the red ring but they’re willing to learn from there mistakes and fix it. I am also investing in a wii come this december as i’m also a nintendo fan, and repairing my old PS2 because I like my PS2.

3) I am 17 and studying in Games design/development for your information.

4) I pay plenty of attention to the facts and I have looked at the Early PS2 games compared to the latest but the 360 hasn’t yet been ‘fully tapped’ (except for free radical, apparently they’ve crashed a few)

5)I didn’t say I owned a HDTV but I know a few people that do own one and thus see point 1.

6)Are you just going to bring up thing’s I have said or actually bring in some reasons the PS3 is so great so you can try and perform a miracle and convince me to buy one.

I’ve already got 1 thing that makes the PS3 actually look good to purchase which is Kingdom hearts 3 but I don’t want to by a console for one game.

wow!! holy shit! you spelled buy wrong!! this is hilarious!!!!!  hmmmm..... never mind, I could care less. I’m actually not as much of a little bitch as you.  And you finally did say something right, kingdom hearts 3 will kick ass.

well done a point we can agree on. But for the record im a human not a dog

East or West PS3 is the best.xbox 360 is a humbug.

A humbug? The 360 doesnt tast like mint, It is mint (lol chav reference) The PS3 has some good exclusives being realesed but the console is shit for its price and a bitch to code for.

yeah u forgot they crash too happened to our others playstation gmes i prefer nintendo ds lite im getting a pink one

I like my nintendo, I’ve got a Wii and a DS as well as my 360, Xbox, PSP and PS2 Don’t get me wrong I still love my 360 but I think Wii is definetely going to win the console war.

360’s are getting the red ring where they turn too bricks.  Didn’t this already happen? you have to send it away and then get it back in a month and a half.  Over a year, and no over heating or other internal problems happening with the PS3.

As much as you’d like that to be true only a small percentage of 360’s will red ring and Microsoft has now sorted the problem, mine has redringed and I only know 1 other guy who has had his red ring (good considering I know around 50 or 60 frequent 360 users) also it’s not like it’s that big a problem. Even if your 360 is out of warranty microsoft offer a full 3 years protection against that damn ring and while my 360 is off for repair I can use the time to finish some slightly neglected college work.

The only problems with the PS3 are:

1: It’s ugly as shite
2: It hasn’t got support of many decent games
3: Be honest, it’s not that much more powerful then the 360
4: Europe got screwed in the ass
5: HDMI is great, If you have a HD TV which most people do not, if you want HDMI for the 360 just fork out 10-15 quid for a HDMI cable seeing as the console is cheaper it makes up for it

yeah… half of those are wrong, half repeat and about maybe 1/10 are true.. I am a PS3 owner for about a year now, and while my friends (since they have had their 360’s for about the same, if not less time than I’ve had my PS3) have gone through about, 2-6 360’s

not saying that the 360’s is a shitty system, cause the online play is pretty damn good, cept for the price, and the games are good, if the system didn’t die every goddamn 8-14 months, I have to admit, i loved playing gears of war and the one about the under the sea shit…
but those are really the only two games i enjoyed on the 360 for more than a week or two… and the other games i enjoyed are also out on the PS3, sooo… it’s got the advantage of time, but they are evenly matched, though if you look at recent sales, PS3 is pulling ahead relative to 360’s sales since it’s been released, and with the recent switch of some major movie companies to blu-ray, i think the 360 is going to see less sales and the possibly drawn out extinction of the HD-DVD, maybe not in it’s games, but there won’t be many movies, so if you pitch-forked out the 100 extra dollars for the HD movie player, enjoy it while you can

which brings me to my other point, the PS3 is pricey, yes, but it automatically comes with it’s HD movie player, it’s wireless internet, and HDMI out port, and a controller charging cable.
While the 360 (excluding the recent “Elite") did not have wireless internet, no HDMI out, which isn’t that bad considering it had the other cables, but rather bulky, and you had to rely on AA batteries.

Oh, and the AC adapter, who could forget that… considering the 360’s is larger than a brick, and weighs about the same, now the Two-prong accessibility is handy, except you can buy a 3prong - 2 prong adapter for about 60 cents, whereas it may not be protected during power surges, but i wouldn’t be playing in a thunderstorm anyway…

if anybody has a clever rebuttal,

Ok, I can agree with that, the under the sea game would most likely be Bioshock. I will agree you’re right when it comes to the red ring issue but that has now been fixed, The AA battery is a major issue but a pair of rechargable batteries or the plug n play kit fixes that. There are a lot of really good games on the 360 such asLost Planet, Gears (obviously) and Mass effect but a lot of them are cross platform such as COD4 and Oblivion. I was never really that bothered by the HDMI cable issue but in all fairness if the PS3 drops a little more in the UK I may consider adding it to my 360 and Wii. I like your argument, extremely civilised rather then the classic “Shut up your gay lolololol” that really annoys me.

wow so many 360 fanboys here agree’ing with eachothers extremely outdated and retarded opinions......PS3 IS CHEAPER THAN XBOX 360 so anyone who says *ps3 suxz coz its to expensive! and ps3 has better exclusives lined up for 2008

thank you Xaero,

in all reality the 360 and the PS3 cost about the same, cause you have to buy all the stuff the 360 lacks

and it really is the same thing just different versions of it, it’s rather a lot like the bible, We’re all gamers just in the same way that everybody religious believes there is a god, just a different perspective on how it should be dealt with,

me being a sony lover and not particularly liking the original Xbox, i went for the PS3 though at the time it was an expensive investment, though to date, i have not had any errors, minus a few frozen games, but that’ll happen no matter what, and generally we keep it on every night all night, sort of… but on for extended periods of time…
and it might just be me but i like the crossbar better than the “folder style”

though at this point i gotta give it to Microsoft for the in-game mini-menu which allows you to play your own music and read messages… sony says they’ll have a software update that will have that, but who knows when that’ll come out,
and i have to agree with Dylan, because PS3 does have some good games lined up for 2008 and really, the 360 had a head start so many of their great titles came out at proportionally the same time… i for one, may cum myself when MGS4: Guns of the Patriot comes out… i think it’s brilliant, and if you haven’t seen the game play trailer, you must, the range of options in controls and strategy makes it more than worth the wait, though it will be a few more months…

though i believe we all can be excited about GTA 4, which looks amazing, bringing all new, and clever game play options to the classic game.

oh and… another thing about sony (i was just about to close off this post)
they are continuing their work on both the PS2 and PSP while the microsoft pulled a cut and run on the Xbox, though i think it would be rather clever for microsoft to make a portable gaming device,
i just hope the controller for it isn’t huge like some of their past works… *cough*xbox*cough*

and… SHUT UP ALL 360 OWNERS ARE GAY!

(j/p)

P.S. to add to the cough…

Speaking of PS3 exclusives, Unreal Tournament 3 is possibly the best on FPS I’ve ever played.  Now before you mention Call of Duty 4, which I love, Unreal is a very different style so its hard to compare. To put it in perspective 360 owners, take Halo online.... and then imagine it simply being better and not having to pay to play online.

i meant to say online, not on....

Unreal tournament 3 is not a PS3 exclusive, it is not only coming to the 360 but it is readily available on the PC. I would not however try to compare the two games (COD 4 and Unreal) ever. I’m just gonna stick to my classic games not consoles though I do dislike the fact that the PS3 uses the game adverts as adverts for there consoles. That’s just wrong, aspiring to be a game artist/designer myself I often look at many games, not just for there play but there environment, character and scenery design, texturing and rigging. But I have one request could everyone stop bringing up the fact that xbox live costs £4 a month, seriously £4 is hardly going to break the bank. Like your bible concept Alien stunt, The 3 console gods :D and the fact that microsoft did perform a cut and run on the xbox (mine now sits next to my tv, modified so I can try and get some homebrews running on it and maybe make my own should I learn the Xbox SDL and C++) though a microsoft handheld would be petrol to the flame so to speak cos then the console war would be taken to the streets. In all honesty a 360 does cost around the same as a PS3 if you want the fully kitted out version but mine (on release) with a hard drive and 2 controllers came to around £290, which isn’t that much. Like i said though when I get some cash a PS3 may be in order even though it may end up gathering dust (i’m sorry I love live.)

Ps3 or Xbox 360?.......
Its a matter of opinion… Ive spent waaayy more time pl
ayin on the 360 than ps3 and though i enjoyed a few game titles (gears, halo, guitar hero, and thats about all)… I can’t fathom spending $500 or whatever to just play halo.. Thats why i just keep my live account on my buddies xbox. They’re all die hard xbox fans, but i have no interest in anything microsoft.. I f**king hate anything made by microsoft and bill gates.. What a duesch....  He can’t make anything that works right or that doesnt need updates/repairs… He’s a money grabbin whore and thats all.. He has no game interests or imagination. I just paid $500 for this smartphone with window mobile 5 and it sucks!  Error this.. error that.. error error error.. Sorry but I hate microsoft!!!!  Plus halo gets way boring after a while. Ive got about 50 ps1 and 2 games, a ps1, a ps2, and a ps2 slimline.  Ive owned a nintendo, all gameboys, nintendo64, snes, and i would buy any those long b4 an xbox. Can’t beat the classics…

Yadda yadda yadda.... I would get an xbox just to mod, live is cool, really liked that, and i liked the console itself. But i will be getting a PS3 and psp. They got the game titles, ive already invested 2 grand into playstation entertainment and if i need a halo fix i’ll just go to my buddies, but that could be a while since im invested into FFXII. 35 hours played and im not even half way..... woot woot lvl 30

screw microsoft=)

Ok you make a fair point but if you believe that only Halo, Gears and Guitar hero are the only available good games on the 360 you haven’t played enough of the expansive game library, fair enough the playstation does have the back library of games but the only thing that annoys me most at the moment is the fact that europe got completely screwed over and that there spokesman speaks way too much shit. I won’t hold a personal hatred for some people against a console, doing so would be stupid. BUT when the console has a certain unfair availability in different areas of the globe, that’s just retarded and thus does not win my good graces with ease. Like I said I will eventually add a PS3 to my console lineup but not just yet. Not for quite a while.

Wow..... You guys (and 40-year-olds who stay home to write about 360s and PS3s while your mother yells at you) need to grow up. The PS3 in my opinion is coming out with some good games and seems to have a good out look as well as some smart ideas with the SIXAXIS controller. If you dont like it, big whoop. The 360 is good for other things like games such as HALO 3 and all that, but if you really think that its sooooooo much better than the PS3, then you should take your hand, put it over your mouth, and keep it like that. Please.

P.S. $400-$500 dollars is much, but the proccessor is that good. Can’t afford it? than try saving up for awhile. You can’t? Boo-hoo

Well, a good game takes awhile to make and keep in mind that the PS3 has only been out for about 1 year, so I think that a game is on the horizon that will kick… ya know… so just wait!

I laughed my ass off that people actually debate over this stupid thread and some people actually get pissed, like their mother had just been insulted when someone doesn’t see eye to eye with them.

I have to ask WHO THE F*** cares which systems are the best? People will buy what they want.

Grow the hell up, get a job, move out of mommas house, and get laid.

Flame on kiddies please, I need some entertainment.

Well the fellow that posted right above me… is probably a large (expired) douche bag… i say expired because douche bag’s actually get pussy…

either way, the processor isn’t that much better, but the price makes up for all the stuff that isn’t included on the 360… if you’ve read my previous posts you would understand (the two big cost-wise ones are the wireless internet adapter and the high-definition movie player).
Either way, now with larger motion picture makers switching to only Blu-Ray or at least releasing their movies in both formats, i think that a PS3 would be a nice investment, that is of course if you want lots of bonus features on your movies and/or have a HD tv…

But i would have to agree with the time issue… and would like to add… (http://www.2flashgames.com/fullscreen.php?id=759)
but besides that… if you liked the MGS4 series, or just stealth/shooter/strategy/other things games, or you just like a game where you have lots of choice, you should buy a PS3 JUST for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. That game will (hate to brag, but it will) be better than HALO 3, unless of course your just a frat guy with a keg and three tv’s/360’s, then of course Halo 3 takes the cake… cause i mean what’s a drunk ass (relatively small) party with out halo? well actually it would still be fun, but halo would make it a little more fun…
but i digress… PS3 has some good games coming out, 360 has those games out already… that’s really it…

oh and have ya’ll seen the trailer for Lost Odyssey?
Final Fantasy much? good job 360…

Ah yes finally the fanboy defends his right of lamness to all.

Honestly one person who knows what a Douche bag really is, I am impressed. Are we going to revert to “yo-momma” jokes next?

To buy a system for purely one game a lone is a great idea, hell buy two of the same game just in case the first disc flies apart from playing MGS4 so long. I hope you detect the sarcasm.

You just honestly don’t get the point. You are literally flaming people via internet trying to make a point on which GAME system is best.

When you call all 360 owners gay, I laughed. You had to close off a debate (which i was for the most part agreeing with you)with oh btw you are are gay! That statement right there made me not take anything you ever will say at face value. Are you still in grade school or not? I was pretty sure that shit ended in the 7th grade. If you aren’t in grade school then you are really a sad piece of shit.

Ahh Dark star, I do so enjoy your responses, they are so civil and show things that are still right with the world and with debate. I quite agree with you that MGS 4 will be better then halo for anyone who isn’t a total frag monkey. And I agree that Lost Oddysey is mucho Final fantasy but in all fairness I think I remember reading something about a lot of the crew being from the original Final Fantasy crew though that could be a rumour, I would like to buy the new final fantasy but I don’t want to purchase a console just for final fantasy when Gears 2, Fable 2 and possibly a lost planet 2 coming soon I may as well stick with my 360 for a while. It’s a matter of opinion, I personally prefer my shooters and thus I’ll stick with my 360 cos it has a lot of shootey titles and a few decent RPG’s (My god I love mass effect). If you prefer the PS3 that’s your personal opinion and preference, I’m ‘down with that’ but when people start waging war of which is the best they refuse to stop and realise they’re Idiots, I argue with them at the risk of looking an absolute c***end in order to make them realise they’re being moronic.

Who the F*** cares, you’re an asshole. A perfect piece of shit that shows all that is wrong with the internet, You’re probbably a sexually frustrated teen that can’t get himself sex and thus has evolved himself a douche bag online personality that sits there pretending to be that succesful that he spends every minute of every day pulling, If that was true you wouldn’t even be on this website. I accept that I’m a geek/nerd, I play dungeons and dragons for christ sake, Trying to use my argument against me would just further prove you probably can’t read. Everyone hates guys like you, thinking yourself to be witty and funny when frankly, you’re just a dick. Retard.

I do concur… and it’s not quite an argument or which system is opinion better in opinion, but instead a debate over which system is physically better and which system is a better investment.

as for you Xaero, i do respect sequels and such, but i do believe a game coming out for the first time on a next-gen console sort beats out a sequel… i do as well anxiously await the sequels because many of my friends (and myself) own 360’s however i do not play mine that much…
And being what MGS4 is… voted best voice actors/storyline i think that i shall invest my money elsewhere…
and to be honest, i’m not the biggest Final Fantasy fan… though i do enjoy their games from time to time…

eitherway, his mother is so fat....

nay, i shan’t stoop to his level

Fair enough, I have evntually given up on the console war because even if we figure out the constant on hardware which is often seen on a 2d plane of just speed even though a lot of people try to join the conversation without understanding the underlying singularity’s such as channels, compatibility, upgradability and of course the coding language and there for support behind the console. Like I said too much of a noobish game of attack and retreat nowadays, I have risen above it. I may, nay, WILL! buy a PS3 eventually but before that I need me an income and probbably more games for my Wii, Im looking at a game where you control a polar bear, it looks like an excellent concept and really original game Idea, I like that you did not stoop to the level of the vermin we may refer to as blind fools. I was once among them.

Get a Life, Its a F*****G game system, not a vital organ or something like that. While you spend your time reading this you can be getting MONEY from your JOB you should have now to pay for what you need like a car, clothes, electricity bills, iPods (and music) and so much more. (pun intended you 1st graders and jocs)

Wait a minute, thats not a pun.

Great, I’m talking to myself.

sheesh… whats with all the hatred....
ok this is how computer techno works.....
Every two years the techno will be more advanced then the games… so itll take time 4 the games to come out that is made for that techno, then itll be even more time b4 the games will outdo the techno. And right now the Ps3 uses the free cell proccessor which is totally new and original techno. Give it time ...i have faith.. i mean fuck there are alot of cool games out there now and the sixaxis controller is cool to use. MY buddy got the lost oddesy and id give it a 2 outta 10. Such a final fantasy ripoff filled with bad storyline, god-awful lines and what i consider bad rpg game play. 

I just got a Ps3 and am happy with it...Will have the internet up and running soon, along with a big screen lcd and the 7.1 surround to compliment it. Then ill add about 15 game titles to the 3 i have already and go from there… Rock on.. and lets try to keep this a disscusion and not a bashing fest.

ok my brothers are sooooo not buying a psp now hes getting a wii:)

AND FOR ME IM GETTING A DS LITE(CAN’T FORGET THE GIRL!)

I would have to agree… that is no pun…

and yeah, silendeath, i would have to agree that it looks pretty darn bad, though it did get a good song for it’s commercial....
i’m probably not going to post again on this, cause it is rather pointless.. i found a system which i have compared and like, and that’s me…

Again, preference, depending on what you want again. But please everyone stop bringing the ‘Lost oddysey is a final fantasy rip off’ shit, The creator of Lost oddysey is the original creator of Final fantasy, how do you rip off your own game? Jesus! Like I said, and alienstunt and I have come to agree, personal preference, I like my shooters so I’ve got my 360 with gears, lost planet, Mass effect (It’s a shooty rpg with realtime combat, yay love it) and (Damn it, I had to buy them) Halo 3 and crackdown. Crackdown was a bargain at £22 just after the Beta ended. Of course I have a few cross platform games too, COD4 and Oblivion but I really am not a fan of turn based so neither lost oddysey or final fantasy appeal to me alongside loads of RPG’s. Hell the only turn based I’ll play is WoW, yeah Im kinda a nerd.

WoW is turned based?
did not know that… i’m so not (that much of a) nerd that i didn’t know that…
MGS4… will take the cake for game of 2008 or maybe, though i don’t think so, GTA4… though they will both be beasts of a game…

for those who don’t know the things MGS has won in the past…
best dialogs, best voice actors, best trilogy storyline and such,
it also has amazing graphics considering the PS2… great gameplay and control scheme, good complexity in each of the mission and a great storyline…
nothing against the 360, but MGS4 is going to rock out with it’s cock out…

122 reasons! That is just crazy. Nice to read btw
