Okay, I'm more pro PS3 than 360. I'm having a difficult time diciding on what to get on other forums without ZOMG UR SUCK A FAGOT UR AN IDIOT GET A WIi OUR 360 ZOMG DUCHABAGE. I'm looking forward to Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, MGS4 and other exclusive titles. The only reason I'd get a 360 is for Ace Combat 6 (Played the demo, probably the best Ace Combat level I've ever played in my life) and playing with friends in other games, and also playing with my clan in AC6. But I heard it breaks down a lot. That's the only reason holding me back, that and the $670 Live Package for the 360 (Which I could get bassicly the same thing with a PS3, besides rip-off Forza for $499) And the only reasons holding me back from the PS3 is no Ace Combat 6 and not many friends have a PS3, well, 1 friend has it. I've also heard "the damn controllers break easily." True? Most of you are going to say that the 360 is better, but if you are going to answer this, do it from my point of view. I'm not worried at all of a PS3 over heating problem (GT5 is going to have 24 hour endurence races that NEED to be on over night). The 360 over heats over like, 8 hours of use. A friend of mine went through 4 Xbox 360's before getting a PS3. Shocking, possitivly shocking. My dad is also pro PS3, because he like Blu-ray and went to the Sony Store with me and was blown away witht he PS3 when he played the Forula 1 game. What do you d00ds think?

Well, R6 Vegas is for the 360...yet I do like Sony since I have both the PS1 and 2, but I dunno whats good for it.

Think of it this way, if you buy one, you may not get a chance to get the other. (ever)

Hmmm, but I don't think a "Wii" is that great. Granted it's "PWNS WIT DAT CONTROLER!!!1111" but I'm sure it would break down quickly too. And I don't see too many action games for it. Half the games are rated "E".

Vegas is also for the PS3.

Wellllllllll.......kill two birds with one stone, get a 360 with AC6 and vegas, unless the PS3 has some awesome game I don't know about?

well, for the overheating issue, just don't put it in a seculded space, maybe in front of your tv where it has room to breath, not in a shelf, i've gone over 8 hours without it overheating, so thats one thing
the PS3 is more reliable and has some games that i want (and i'm pro 360) while the 360 has more games but reliability is sometimes annoying and paying for live has some downsides, but is worth it in the long run
if you want a lot of games and try the online service, the 360 has a free 1 month trial, and even though the PS3 is free online, i heard there is a lot of lag (and myscrnnm don't come cussing me out, i'm just saying i heard that from ps3 owners and fanboys, not 360 or wii fanboys, ok)
really to summerize it
if you have a budget and want 4-5 games this year, 360 will do
if you have a lot of money and are scared about the 360 breaking and can wait for the AAA titles to come holiday season next year, and you don't want to pay for online and other stuff, than ps3

and for the controller thing, i'm not sure, i haven't really dropped my ps3 controller yet, or done anything, but it feels a bit weird when i had to shake it like a hammer to get an alien off me in resistence since the sixaxis had trouble picking it up easily, a lot of trouble actually

Um, Warhawk? ANd Killzone 2 looks better then any Tom Clancey games I've seen.



Thanks. I'll think about it. I was at my friends, and Live did look like it had a lot of thjings to play with.

yeah, and the updates are twice a year, there is also a msn thing on there, but i can't use it cause i have a "child account", but not clan page or group chat, hopefully will come in the fall update

but either system you pick, you'll have games this holiday season

I reccommend the PS3, solely because of the fact that microsoft has stated that every Xbox 360 is defective, and a record number of them have been returned because of faillures, with reports of some gamers who have gone through more than ten Xbox 360s

My 360's been fine. I can't help but question how those with defective consoles are treating them...

4 at most, 10 is just stupid, they are taking bad care of it and giving it no air to breath
but mines been sent once, so mine was broken, then i took the one downstairs, so now "mines" never been broken

http://search.ebay.com/broken-PS3_W0QQ_trk...rchiZQQsaprcloZ
No results for the PS3. I've only spotted one.
http://search.ebay.com/broken-Xbox-360_W0Q...rchiZQQsaprcloZ
Almost an entire 3 pages of broken or non-fuctional 360s.

Maybe it's also the fact that no one will be willing to sell their borken PS3's. Hmm...

Mine has had to be sent in once, but that way my fault. I was moving and the box it was in wasn't taped, so when I picked it up my 360 fell out the bottom and smashed on the concrete. Mainly just keep them well ventilated and give them a break about every nine hours.

Ouch, concrete? That's got to be one of the most painful sounds.

Clearly, Ace Combat 6 looks as though its the most highly-anticipated game in your opinion for the seventh-generation. But that's just one game, and do you really want to spend $670 just so you can play that one game? I say you wait a few more months to see if you want to get a Xbox 360 at all, for two very good reasons. First, the Xbox 360 may get a price drop around the time of Ace Combat 6, seeing as the Xbox 360 has been out for more than a year and a half. Second, there may be a chance that Ace Combat 6 will be released on the PlayStation 3 at a later date. The PlayStation 3 just needs some time to get those console-moving games out, like Final Fantasy XIII. Hopefully Namco Bandai will come around and realize it's been a fool.

Also, whoever told you "the damn controllers break easily" is a [nvm]. There have been absolutely no reports of defective Sixaxis controllers. You can search anywhere you want, but no reputable source will tell you that. The only real complaint about the Sixaxis in terms of quality is that it feels too light, however, IMO, this gives it a more natural feel.

And your dad is damn straight to support the PlayStation 3. Blu-ray disc is the future. Let's all face it, HD DVD is dead. Toshiba has slashed the prices so low on their HD DVD players there's no way they can make any profit. And consumers can bash SCEI all they want, but they made an incredibly smart move implementing Blu-ray Disc reading capabilities into the PlayStation 3. By doing so, they've installed a huge base of Blu-ray Disc users. Since the movies cost virtually the same to the consumer, all that's left is the selection of movies, and the Blu-ray Disc Association has all the major Hollywood studios, with the exception of Universal. But once Universal realizes that HD DVD is dead, the war will be over. In regard to games, developers will also be stuck two years from now with the Xbox 360, they can add more discs (I believe a three disc game has already been confirmed), but that's unheard of in the 21st century. Developers will go towards BD because it simply offers so much more storage.

How do you mean? A bunch of people I know bought all three seventh-generation systems.

The thing with the Wii is that it's for little kids and old people. If you want games with involving plotlines and intense gameplay, you've got to get a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

Um, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Basically the most highly-anticipated game of the seventh-generation.

Sure, the Xbox 360 has more games, but what good does it do if they're mostly shit? The only really good games on the Xbox 360 are Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 and Halo 3, and that's just by Xbox standards. lmao, who the fuck are you kidding? Live worth it in the long run? This is one of those things that gets more expensive as time goes on. This is where Microsoft is getting your money. They have you buy the system at a "mere" $399, and then have you paying $50 a year for their online service. PlayStation Network is nearly as good and free (still lacking in a few features, and admittedly, could use polishing, but is great for SCEI's first attempt at a unified online network).

Dude, whoever told you there is lag is either a fucking idiot, or a fucking idiot who doesn't realize that it's probably their network or Internet connection. I play Rainbow Six Vegas and PlayStation Home like every other day and there is never any lag. There was only this one time that there was lag, and given that it only happened once, it was probably cuz the guy playing on the other end had a shitass Internet connection.

Dude, Timebandit, how can you trust this guy to give you advice? He fucking spelled "then" wrong!

lmao, Twice a year, that's weak sauce. The PlayStation 3 gets firmware updates like an average of once every two months. This shows that SCEI is dedicated to improving the usage quality of its customers. Although I definitely won't deny that the Windows Live Messenger integration with Xbox Live is a great feature, and one that I can only wish the PlayStation 3 had.

Yeah. Basically the real reason why Microsoft has sold as many Xbox 360s as it has is because half the people have to buy like four Xbox 360 units.

Trust me, it's because the PlayStation 3 is more reliable. In a survey from retailers nationwide, there was a 33% failure rate among Xbox 360s. Less than 1% for PlayStation 3s, and defective Wiis were almost nonexistant. I too have searched eBay, a few weeks ago, and there was only a single PlayStation 3 being sold as "non-working", and the seller wasn't even sure if the PlayStation 3 was broken. This is because with Sony, you get pretty much the best electronics engineers on the planet (with only a few possible exceptions, like IBM, Philips, Pioneer, et cetera). They engineered the PlayStation 3 around the Cell processor and the Blu-ray Disc drive. They knew to expect that with such powerful components, safety would be the number one concern. Ever seen the innards of a PlayStation 3? Basically, one-third of the system (the small rectangular portion) houses a heatsink, blower, and heatpipes. This ensures that the PlayStation 3 is kept cool no matter how long its been running, but doesn't sound like a fucking jet engine at the same time (since larger fans can spin at lower speeds).

well, they aren't mostly shit, i am saying maybe 1/5 or 2/5 are shit, but the rest are good, like dead rising
it probably won't get more expensive, i think its been 50 the entire time, and it would probably stay, even though it might rise in price

and the typing was a fucking typo, ok, at least i was positive and negative on both ps3 and 360, ok, be glad i didn't just go to the 360 only, i gave him both sides, ok

and it is kinda weak twice a year, but a lot of stuff is put then, and even between, there are updates that we don't even notice (from what i'm told)
but if you signed up to xbox live when you were under 18, you can't use it, and everyones mad, ms screwed up there, and if they don't fix it in the fall update, i'll be pissed

and no, not really, its mainly one, except for my dad, he bought 2

Have you seen the blood splatter patterns in Dead Rising? That game is shit. I was going to get Resident Evil 5, but now I'm in doubt.

Um, yeah it does. One year of membership = $50. Two years of membership = $100. Three years of membership = $150. Four years of membership = $200. By four years you'll have already spent nearly $200 just to use their online service. That alone makes the Xbox 360 on par with the PlayStation 3's price.

lmao, I have a neighbor who is a great Xbox 360 fan and he was fucking pissed that it didn't support "child accounts". But still, they've got the feature and if I was going to get an Xbox 360, I'd definitely use it.

I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

the whole every 360 owner bought 4 thing, the replacements don't count, the 360's sent in are fixed and resent to be sold
yeah, the blood splatter was bad, but it was just so much fun i couldn't care, i was too busy ripping zombie guts out
yeah 50 a year, thats what i meant

yeah, even adults now are pissed cause they signed up as a teenager and now they can't use it

lmao, that's just gay.

yeah, there are even petitions to allow child accounts to use it, i signed it, but it went no where
oh well

The Killzone 2's blood looks amazing. I must have it. This gif. is from the trailer.

You really should try Metal Gear Solid 3, it has amazing blood splatter, even by modern standards.

yeah, especially when you have to snipe everyone before stopping a bomb near the end of the game (at least i think)

WTF. What the fuck are you talking about?

Metal Gear Solid - have a fist fight with Liquid before escaping via Jeep with Otacon while the complex blows up
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - snipe Russian mercenaries with the PSG1 while Emma crosses the walkway to load the virus in G.W.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - evade GRU soldiers on motorbike and defeat the Shagohod with the RPG-7
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops - kill Gene in a launch control room before shooting the Metal Gear with an RPG-7

Emma! *Otacon cries like a little baby*

i don't remember where it was, my cousin had me play that part, there were a bunch of bombs around, and you had to stop them from going off, and if an alarm was sounded, you lose, and after you shoot everyone, there is a cut scene where he has a plastic mold or something, makes it into a butterfly, tosses it in the air, catches it, and puts it on the bomb or warhead or whatever it is and stops it

Oh dude, you mean Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Dude, that's totally not what happened. First, you put all the C3 charges next to the fuel tanks. The butterfly is made from plastic. And he puts it on the timer, which is on a fuel tank.

yeah, i was always talking about mgs 3, yeah, thats what you had to do, but me and my cousin just went on the walk way above everything and shot everyone first, then did that

In your case, I'd say PS3. You seem uninterested in any other 360 exclusives, and if you're a person who enjoys varying the games they play often (like me), then you might eventually get bored of AC6 (possibly AC7 eventually) and be forced to pick from game titles that you aren't really interested in.

On the other hand, I'm considering a PS3 for one must-have game...but I've already got two other systems...


I wasn't very good about that either. The Sorrow battle...was long...

Lol love that, spilling from his head.

Dude, I can do it without shooting anyone.

Or it could go the way of Ridge Racer and Full Auto, where the makers soon realized that the Xbox 360 had limited power, and returned to the PlayStation 3, because it's a more promising system.

Dude, The Sorrow battle was the easiest one. And you must have been pretty poor at that game, cuz I can do it by killing like less than a dozen people.

Meh, I'm not saying it wasn't easy, just long.


Nah, the gaurds are just really fun to kill.

You sick fuck.

They had it coming.

You've got it coming.

Your Mother has it coming!

Your sister has it coming.

No she's not, she is watching a movie. Nice try though, I respect that.

The movie is coming for her.

No, how can a movie come for her?

Ever watched the Ring?

Apparently not.

look, ridge racer is fun, but full auto was always a bad game, it really wasn't any good (and megacritic never lies) and one system excells in one area well the other excells in the other, so they are pretty close, though the ps3 is more powerful in graphics, i admit

Theoretically, the PlayStation 3 should excel in physics, since it can do all those floating point operations. So in the future, we will see smarter AI in the PlayStation 3 games.

but right now, full auto 1 and 2 suck
but pain might excel in the physics area

I just don't really like Full Auto because there's not much replay value, gameplay is so damn repetitive. It's like a souped-up arcade game where you can play against real people, have weapons, and great graphics.

yep, i got tired after the training exercise, so i exchanged it for overlord, and that was fun untill kahn (guy is bigger than the castle in the game!)

Gotham Racing is no match for Gran Turismo 5. Notive the lack of detail in the PGR headlights.


This is Gran Turismo 5. The Headlights look a lot better, and the picture seems real.

Oh, that awful movie.

The Ring was the cool.

I've never been into the GT or Project Gotham or PGR series. Most of the racing games I play are NFS. I think Pro Street looks pretty good

if you are using PGR3, that was a incomplete game as they rushed it a bit, as they said themselves, but this 4 isn't rushed and should have better detail, plus the weather system and bikes
