I think I prefer the 360 to the PS3

That's right, I said it.

Yes, the 360 has had some major hardware issues, many returns, but that isn't as bad as it used to be now. Seems like the PS3 had issues for some people too, lots of faulty systems on ebay now with either YLOD problems and dead BluRay drives, but like anything, electronics can break at anytime.

Some things I'd swap around though if I could....

Get rid of that ugly unneeded battery compartment on the 360 pad and have an inbuilt charger like the PS3 Sixaxis.

Take away that babyish 360 dashboard and make it look more manly like the PS3's dashboard.

Love the Trophy system on the PS3 compared to the shitty achievement point system on the 360.

Stick a nice web browser on the 360.

The obvious to replace the DVD drive in the 360 with a BluRay Drive.

The 360 looks much better than the PS3, even the slim revision doesn't look great. Stupid placement on the USB ports, its a mission getting your charge cable in without lifting the machine up or bending down awkwardly, like getting a large cock in Kerry Anne's Vagina.

What do you guys think?

Eventually that battery inside the PS3 controller will deteriorate and not be able to hold a charge. What then? Time to buy a new controller or keep it plugged in. I do think Microsoft should include rechargeable batteries at least with new systems.

I'd love to get the ability to hide certain blades or tabs on both Dashboards. That would negate most of my problems.

How are they better? They're the same thing. I prefer achievements because all games have same number of points available, but they basically the same thing.

Eh, it's an ok feature on the PS3. I guess I just need to hook up a KB and Mouse to my PS3 and really try it out instead of using the controller.

That'd be nice but it wont happen this gen. MS's next console probably.

That said I get more use out of the 360, but the 360 is a pretty good system, and a lot of titles are multiplatform these days anyway.

Does anyone know for stuff like say Call of Duty 4 is the online community is larger on PS3 or 360?

I would assume the online community would be larger on xbox live. I prefer the xbox as well despite its hardware issues. Sadly have to sell mine and lay off gaming for a bit.

I place a fair bet on the FPS/TPS online community being larger for 360 while fighters have a larger following on the PS3. Just an assumption though.

That's exactly what I don't like about the 360 - way too many FPS games.

I like my 360 better, even though I have had to replace it with a new jasper motherboard 360 version. I prefer the online, controller and style over my ps3 as well. Just me!

I own both and prefer the PS3. Better interface, better controllers, more flexible in functionality, less proprietary shit to purchase ($100 for a wi-fi adapter? $150 for a 120Gb HDD?), but my preference largely comes down to one thing:

I trust my PS3. After one replacement and one repair on my 360, I don't trust it anymore.

PS3 has some nice synergy going on with the psp. I think that is pretty nice, although they don't really make use of it too much at this point. I'm hoping Gran Turismo PSP and Gran Turismo 5 will show just how cool a feature it can be. Reminds me of when the dreamcast and ngpc could hook up for the snk games (sadly, I never got to take advantage of these features).

That's not the only nice thing about PS3 though, I have noticed it's a fuck ton quieter than xbox 360s. That might not seem like a big deal to you, but it makes me wonder how reliable the 360's are. I give microsoft credit for being able to get it to pretty much push out the same level of graphics as the PS3 (so far - Uncharted 2 and MGS4 are probably the only two games the 360 couldn't handle). However, it seems like it has to work a lot harder to produce the same results the PS3 does. It sounds like a space shuttle is preparing to take off when I'm listening to a 360. My PS3 never gets that loud, even after it's been on for a long time, it's just quiet and that's how I like it (it's originally a 20GB model by the way).

I've said before what I do like about the 360 such as being able to play custom music in every game (as far as I know), and the party chat. That'd be great to be able to talk to anyone on my friends list, while playing any game (I'd probably play my single player games more often if I could do so. Since I can't though, I feel I neglect some really great games like Fallout 3, Killzone 2's single player campaign, etc.).

I'm thinking the online community on the 360 is larger, since almost everyone I know has one (except me lol).

I'm very happy with my ps3....not interested in getting a 360.

It is larger, but in all honesty, there isnt much difference between the two. Except maybe the online acceptance rate of certain online titles create better opportunity for online gaming.

I just bought a slim myself and really love the fact that I can download wallpaper off the internet. To me that is one of the coolest features that it has over the 360.

I agree about that synergy with between the PSP and PS3. It feels like actual synergy rather than a simple gimmick.

Makes me wish I had a PSP.

Thats true, it's like having another computer. I have my KOF XII wallpaper, it's cool.

I didn't get the 360 at launch because I loathed the original Xbox, but I eventually bit the bullet about ~8 months after launch.

I got a PS3 at launch.

As of right now: I own ~25 360 games (and a ton more if you count XBLA games), and 1 PS3 game.

End of story.

I had a 360 Elite for a few weeks and recently traded it for a 60GB PS3, and I'm a lot happier. Points for me...

* 360 sounds like a jet engine when powered on. PS3 is quiet.

* While I know the newer models don't have it, I love the 60GB's full backwards compatibility, unlike 360 half-ass excuse for it

* The Dual Shock 3 D-Pad is so much better for fighters than the 360 controller

* Like wizkid007 said, importing pictures for avatars, icons, and wallpapers is a nice feature

* While 90% of games are multi-platform, PS3 has more exclusives I want to play, but that's just me.

The one thing I will give 360 over PS3 is Live. IMO, Live is so much easier to use, easier to join a online, and has a nicer and more organized interface. I hate going to PSN's main page and having to squint my eyes to see what is what and navigate menus. Live definitely has a bigger user base too, methinks.

You can take apart the controller, and the battery is connected via a standard-looking connection. I've seen a lot of similar batteries; I'm not sure if it's really a standard but it's just a little brick with a 2-contact connector. It's fairly easy to do, for what it is (a once-every-8-years procedure). Still, the 360 controller is better in this regard, but it's like $20 more expensive once you figure in the price of the battery.

I don't really have anything I HATE on the PS3 dash, but having like 5 shortcuts to the PSN store is stupid. On the 360, however, that entire piece of shit is just a massive hunk of ads, and needs to go die in a fucking fire.

It will be hilarious when Sony gets licensing fees from Microsoft games. They could effectively choke them out once they've started using the Blu-Ray drive - maybe MS will develop their own disc format like Ninty did with the gamecube. I wouldn't be surprised.

i think i like my ps3 more. except its broken (my nov 06 360 keeps on truckin no issues). and id never buy a multiplatform game for it, especially one i wanted to play online.

but the exclusives outweigh the 360's exclusives library, and are pretty much more interesting than a lot of the multiplatform titles too.

though the multiplatform releases for the rest of the year and early 10 look pretty good. stuff like assassins creed 2, brutal legend. and then 360s got forza 3.

but then the triples got uncharted 2 and demon's souls.

if the multiplatform games werent just strictly better on the 360, it wouldnt be a tough call at all, ps3 hands down. forza and gears are still awesome though.

ive always wondered if live was better because a larger majority uses a wired connection rather than the wii or ps3's built in wifi. anyone who uses wifi for online gaming, especially on a console is a tard. and if you complain about lag youre an even bigger one.

Sounds like you wish your 360 was a PS3, Sn00t. I missed the part in your post where you tell us why you now prefer the 360. Perhaps you should rethink this.

"The one thing I will give" the 360 is that on the PS3 you need to "install" updates and games after you download them. Wtf is that?

I just hate paying for online on the 360, and I hate that when I'm playing alone in a quiet room I can hear the console better than the audio from the TV.

I did mention I liked the design of the 360 more than both revisions of the PS3, much better looking.

My main point was what the 360 needs that the PS3 has, not really a comparison of what I prefer, but there are a few things I can say....

I like the 360 Controller more due to its sturdy build quality, the PS3 SixAxis feels very thin and breakable. I sometimes imagine my finger poking through the plastic of the sixaxis like a chocolate easter egg.

The new 360's are allot quieter now by the way, my last Jasper was very quite compared to the first versions, mainly the DVD drive was part of the noise, especially with the constant disk spinning during gameplay, but now its very quite.

I just wish the 360 has some of the things the PS3 has and I'd just stick to the 360.

Obviously there's a few other good things about the PS3, mainly via software with the DIVX playability and updates are pretty sweet as well as customization (Wallpapaers etc). Free online is cool, but not as reliable as XboxLive, but then again, its been a while since I played online with the PS3, so that may of improved abit, Uncharted 2 Beta hasn't been bad at all online, no lag issues etc, but it is slow to get into a game but this could be the way the game is.

Comparing the PS3 Slim to the PS3Phat was a easy task though, they took away that horrid scratching and dust clinging casing, but the Slim still attracts dust and looks shit after a few days in my opinion.

To be honest though, I'm more of a fan of playing some online deathmatch now more than actual games. Looking forward to CODMW2, new maps, some improvements and I'm happy at that.

EDIT: How can I forget about the Hard Drive upgrades though. Well I like the fact that the PS3 also has the inbuilt hard drive too, this should of been the same with the 360, that why you don't feel as you've wasted funds on an upgrade when its already there for use on the PS3. Also great that you can upgrade the PS3 Hard Drive.

I have a JP Elite 360 Jasper and a US PS3 60GB. I feel confident my 360 is not going to break down and if it does, I will be just as surprised as if my PS3 was to breakdown.

Anyhow, all the ad-on crap the 360 needs is hardly a big deal to me. In regards to the noise, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, and I know allot of you have 20+ games, but you can rip an entire 360 game to the HDD. That eliminates all sounds. So that's what I do and it's a perfect set up for myself. That being said, I have an extra 120GB HDD if anyone's in the market.

The interface on the PS3 isn't eye catching to me, it seems like there's simply just allot more going on with the 360 online. PS3 is a cool media center I guess. But I don't need to integrate it to my gaming. So that being said, I guess I have a PS3 60GB system for sale too. :glee:

I'm thinking that the PS3 doesn't have enough really good games...360 seems to have quite a few, like Gears of War, I wish I could play that.

How come there aren't so many good exclusives on the PS3? Is it the graphics or because it's really really expensive to make a game for it?

I simply don't understand why some people think the PS3 doesn't have any good games.

Uncharted, MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, Ratchet and Clank Future, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet... Those are all games that easily match the best 360 exclusives, and I'm not even taking the games that are coming out in the next couple months (or next week in the case of Uncharted 2) into account.

It's not like people don't talk about those games all the time, too. Sheesh.

It's the trendy thing to do. Also, people like to pretend cross-platform titles don't exist on the PS3.

Xbox 360 only has one exclusive franchise that really keeps it viable for me, and that's Mass Effect. Shadow Complex was also a lot of fun. They're both good systems, but I would personally be much more loath to give up the PS3, if I had to choose.

I didn't hear that. Also, The Simpsons hasn't been broadcast since 1999 as far as I'm concerned. Michael Jackson is a homo... wait he's awesome and was a real inspiration to me.

I purchased the PS3 to mainly have Blu-Ray access and for the exclusives that I was looking forward to (KZ2, MGS, GOW3). I don't play enough online or in general, otherwise I'd have both systems. Even then, once Cave shmups start hitting without region lockout, I'll have to get a 360 regardless.

But I too don't understand why cross-platform releases are usually treated as 360 exclusives. Perhaps it's because of the extra DLC or just surrounding hype. Either way, both systems have a great stable of exclusives and for me the PS3's lineup is more in tune with my past gaming interests.

Sincerely,

Mikhail

I see a lot of people favor the multi-platform games on the 360 due to one reason : Xbox Live.

Whether it's substantially better than PSN, I don't know.

The only PS3 games I've played online were triple exclusives :emb:

And it will probably stay that way simply because I've got more friends with an Xbox 360 and I place a high value on competitive multiplayer and online cooperative play.

I used to do the same, but the unreliability of the 360 has caused me to get multi-platform titles on the PS3 if all things are equal. I got Fallout 3 for 360 because of the DLC, but I'm gonna get Brutal Legend on the PS3.

I will get Borderlands on 360, though, mostly because most of you guys are gonna do the same if you don't go the PC route. But that's become the exception for me.

PS3 took too long to be interesting but it's there now.

If I had to pick (and I don't but will for the sake of this thread) I'd choose the 360.

More games I like and the Netflix interaction seals it.

I prefer the 360 over the PS3, for 3 main reasons :

1) Library :

I'm a big fan of shmups and dating-sims, and the 360 is the de facto current-gen console for both of those genres. Many of those games are either 360-exlusive, or have the better version on the 360. Aside from that, the 360 has a bunch of other exclusives that I really enjoy, such as : Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, and Pac-Man CE. Additionally, the 360 versions of multiplatform games tend to look and/or perform better than the PS3 versions.

2) Xbox Live

I prefer XBL over PSN for many reasons : parties, cross-game invites, cross-game chatting, not having to manually synch my achievements all the time, being able to see if the friends of my friends like the same games I do, the way DRM is handled, being able to send & receive messages/friend requests and manage my friends list over the xbox.com site, and I know more people with 360's than PS3's.

3) Warranty

Yes, the 360 isn't as reliable in general, but a longer warranty is a longer warranty. More importantly, I know that MS will accept and repair my Japanese 360 without issue. But it's extremely unlikely that Sony would acccept and repair my Japanese 60gb PS3, and even if they did I'd have to pay $150, and even then it's unlikely that they'd send me a Japanese one (and hopefully there's no disk stuck inside of it if that happens, since it's likely that they wouldn't give me the disk back). I hope I never get the YLOD, though I wouldn't mind another RROD before my warranty expires.

Still, I do like the PS3. The XMB is a really nice interface, online play is free, I like Trophies more than Achievements (except for the synching thing and its late introduction), more reliable (so far), and there's a hand-full of exclusives that interest me. Also, in the case of my 60gb model, being able to play all of my PS2 and PS1 games.

MS will probably use a modified HD-DVD drive (one that can't play HD-DVD movies) for their next console. Since it's a dead format, they won't have to pay licensing fees to anyone.

inFamous and LittleBigPlanet aren't my type of games and the others are great games. I prefer fighters and RPG's. At the moment the 360 is better than the PS3 in that department.

That's fine, but surely you can concede that those games are worth playing, at least for some people. So saying the PS3 has no games is just crazy. Not enough games for you, well, that's another thing entirely.

Yeah same as, there both great machines but to be honest I feel the PS3 came a little too late and I cant afford to purchase BD movies and all of my mates are on Live so ill just stick with that. Im no fan bay but I would rarther have a 360 than PS3.

the 360 is definitely better, period.

i never owned an xbox. i was given one back in 2001 when it was 2weeks away from the south-east asia release. the ironic thing is i didn't even want it. you might wonder but i worked for a gaming publication during 01-03.

i still can't believe that i even went on cnbc asia and said good things about it on tv.

if i had to say anymore about my dislike for anything microsoft, attacks towards me on my fanboy-ism behavior might be inevitable.

i am speaking on a stand where it's just games and nothing else.

Generally:

1: Most multiplatform games either looked the same for both, or the 360 has the superior version ftw. (i.e the latest NBA Live, or Resident Evil 5)

2: Online play is definitely better with the XBL infrastructure.

3: MS's strategy towards the world (sans Japan) seems about right as you could see that they're definitely trying to make gaming seem like a 'general past time' to consumers rather than trying to convert hardcore enthusiasts.

4: With point 3 in mind, the original Xbox always had the superior version over the PS2's. (look at Sonic Heroes for example) You can say that it came out way later than the PS2 and had much advantage in terms of hardware. what bout' the 360? How can the PS3 perform poorer in terms of cross platform graphical aesthetics?

5: For every 5 avid gamer, only 1 owns both systems. 3 of them has the 360 alone, and the last guy has just the PS3.

Still,

I'm with Sony.

Certainly. And I'm not saying you're wrong to be underwhelmed by it. I thought it was stellar, myself. No big deal.

But any opinion expressed in the form of "lol ______" is just childish and crass. It comes off more as flamebait than a legitimate opinion.

Poor and/or lazy programming, pure and simple. It's obvious that the PS3 has loads of technical power under the hood. Whether or not developers are willing to devote the time and effort necessary to harness it is another story.

Well, I can't add MS points on the web or on the console, using 4 different credit cards from three different banks. I have a US XBL account and the credit cards are US. I called the bank, I called MS and they said there's no hold on my account. It's just a mystery. That's a point against MS for me, personally. Can't even buy games if I want to at the moment.

for sure. such a rampant issue on the ps3 now that it slipped my mind until you said it.

/me continues to look forward to the day when the PS3 will have noticeably superior versions of cross platform games.

:cool:

It never worked for me unless every bit of information entered was perfectly identical to that on the card/bank account. Absolutely no deviation allowed whatsoever.

not really.

the 360's gpu is capable of more compared to the ps3. its a newer shader model among other things.

some of this can be made up for using the additional processing of the ps3's cpu, but thats unreasonable. no one programs like that nor should they really be expected to. you can unload certain things to the cells like physics processing, but the bulk of the real graphics work still needs to be done by the gpu and the 360's is simply better.

the biggest complaints are with framerate and tearing (fill rate), lighting (shader models), and texture quality (vram, pixel pipes.) 360 does all these better.

it has also been seen for a long time on pc's ati vs nvidia. ati typically gives you a better looking picture vs nvidias better processing power. the thing is the ati chipset in the 360 is also half a generation ahead of the ps3's nvidia one.
