Get neither, wait until modern warfare 2 is out..and don't sell your ps3.

Call of Duty.


Don't get an xbox if you like playing online match making. It's really dumb IMO. ps3 hosts servers.

Fanboyism FTL



Both games are good. I personally liked CoD a bit better but I havn't played Res. alot.

xbox has more players playing online so like playing online matchs go with the one with the bigger network your argument is void



grammar

ps3 = multimedia machine

blu ray player, alternate OS installed, games, internet, free online gaming etc etc. They are not the same as xbox 360's so comparing only the game aspect may give an advantage to the xbox.

that being said...this isn't an xbox vs ps3 topic and your original comment wasn't needed =\

its not marketed as a multimedia machine its marketed as a game console with multimedia abilitys key there is game console

my comments aint always needed but he didnt need to put [PS3] resistance is a ps3 only title so putting 'Cod vs. resistance' would have done so seeing as he pointed out he had a ps3 i thought id comment on that I'd like to see your sources (creditable sources) for your info seeing as it still just looks like fan-boyism to me. Honestly my bad if I'd heard the same 2 arguements 2 many times. I mean i can easily dig up what you just stated but stated by someone else. And then dig up the counter argument. This goes both ways PS3 and Xbox 360.

to be a fanboy i would have to be dedicated to the xbox without a doubt im not im dedicated to the best gaming system Hmm...And how is the Xbox 360 in your view the best game system? which although is not 100% due to ps3 having certain advantages the xbox will attain its full potential while the ps3 will not so why pay more for a console Honestly the price arguement is very old, and somewhat redundant. more for a game which you can just get on a cheaper console for a cheaper price? New games for ether console are $60 I don't see even as I check now COD4 or COD MW2 being any cheaper on ether console.

i could get technical with you and explain how even the ps3's 8 cores (7 in use) are less efficient then the xbox's 6 cores or how the blueray player isnt very good at playing games thus you have to install some games but im not going that deep. O but do explain, I mean I can explain why what you said was all total fan-boyism but Im not going that deep.

il leave the arguement on this simple FACT most cross-platform games are designed on the xbox 360 then ported accross to the ps3 its done this way as its easier to make them for the xbox first, Seeing as Xbox 360 doesn't use blue-ray I'd see why it'd be easiler to do it for Xbox first than PS3 yet I fail to so why this is a bad thing? Or is this just random ranting meant to be taken serously? its also why games get delayed is it takes time to properly port them accross sometimes taking longer then expected this is why the ps3 will always be in its shadow. It will always take long if a game is being ported been like that since the NES, N64, Atari etc. Again should I take that last statement "ps3 will always be in its shadow" serously or just a random fan-boy remark, as I fail again to see how port games put one console in the shadow of the other? I thought it was the exclusive's but maybe I'm wrong.

argue the toss out of it if you want i see no other real value to the ps3 other then a glorified blueray player Therefore you choose to be just ignorant of pretty decent and good games that the PS3 does have and just blindly love your Xbox 360? Sounds pretty fan-boyish. and free internet but iv heard an online rumor this may become paid feature before its life is out i cant prove it but would make sense they aint even going to break even with it All of what you said can easily be summed up by "online rumor".



lastly my serious oppinion has already been said in this thread cod:mw2 is out soon just wait a little bit

having trouble deciding which to get.

its either call of duty: modern warfare or resistance 2.

which in your opinion is better? (:



EDIT: thoughts on call of duty: world at war also?

Offtopic: I have both consoles and I enjoy both I don't have a Wii, but will probaly soon if Monster Hunter 3 isn't ported to PS3, and I can say most of these debates about the consoles seem to only to serve the purpose of making the buyer not feel remorse about their choice. You want to say you brought the superior console so you don't regret buying it. And the second thing these console debate do is fuel the publicity of said console, nothing more.

i no where said the ps3 didnt have good games please quote where i say they are shit
" i see no other real value to the ps3 other then a glorified blueray player and free internet" its only rational to assume you've completely ignored its games.

and about the processors
xbox 360 runs a PowerPC Tri-Core Xenon (aka its a mac based processor just a funny fact) non the less it has 6 independent cores each can run a process without been effected by the other cores

ps3 runs a Cell Broadband Engine it has 8 cores, 7 used each core runs along side each other meaning if one of these cores is slow all of them are slow as they cannot move onto the next process until all cores have finished their process Link plz, I'll look this up later if you yet to show any evidence.

im not bashing it as a bad processor just bad way of running things

fyi porting is a bad thing usually (not always so dont go picking into this) just look at the ps3 orange box and tell me whats wrong with that "(not always so dont go picking into this)" just made this reason completey redundant.

i do want to make it clear im not calling the ps3 shit but for gaming you may aswell get the xbox its CHEAPER (yeh shut it) The Pioneer LaserActive released by Pioneer was retailed at $1400 so I honestly do not see $100 more than the Xbox elite to be such a big deal. and for the most part has all the same games and a lot more exclusive titles which are good Honestly I could say something here but games are so subjective themselves I won't.

call me a fanboy we'll see when the next console comes out which is more practical il get that one i used to play playstations. Unless the NES/Atari/Vectrex (lol) is remade I'd doubt they would make another revolutionary game system in the gaming industry.

You've yet to address most of my points. My bad the PS3 and the Elite are the same price now.

Xbox 360 uses the triple-core IBM designed Xenon as its CPU, with each core capable of simultaneously processing two threads, and can therefore operate on up to six threads at once.

check the xbox 360 and any other sources to prove this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360 The only thing I got from wiki was a brief description of the CPU nothing that backs up your original statement.

cant find a link for playstation 3 could email my tutor from college if its that important to you i had to study hardware for gaming on my course It not because it's important, just that when you state something like that you should have evidence or it just becomes fan-boyish.

since when has porting not been bad something is designed for one system and patched to work on another that just aint good How is patching the game bad when you can sell it to the 9million others who don't have the Xbox 360 and instead have a PS3?

cba to argue more your acting a hell of a lot more like a fanboy then me by blindly defending the ps3 And how am I doing this? I am merely addressing each point you've presented and asking for evidence and how such a thing can make the PS3 in your view in insuperior to the Xbox 360. go look up some facts explain why you feel it is better (not just on a hardware basis but price and games)See the thing is I've yet to even take a stance on which console is better, I've merely question each point you've presented. As you've seen to have gotten it down.

xbox 360 elite is the same as the normal one just has a large harddrive and is black so im just arguing the xbox 360 arcade

Trust me if someone came and said the PS3 was better than the Xbox 360, gave some reasons why I would question them as well.

Xenon in Xbox 360

The PPE was designed specifically for the Cell processor but during development, Microsoft approached IBM wanting a high performance processor core for its Xbox 360. IBM complied and made the tri-core Xenon processor, based on a slightly modified version of the PPE.[30][31]

its bad because your not taking advantage of the consoles potential thats why porting is bad it wasnt designed for that console but is only made to work other problems such as lag, glitchs and full blown bugs also pop up DO point me in towards the many PS3 port games that have these issue and that are documented?

non the less im only arguing that the xbox 360 is better as it offer the same as the ps3 (gaming wise but at a more affordable level also a more popular level, pushing me down routes to talk about hardware was pointles im addressing your points) I want you to elaborate on this "gameing wise" how is it better gaming wise? I understand the affordable concept you can keep useing the acrade card I guess.
you want mroe proof for the processors look at their Architecture

seeing as you want me to go down a hardware route here is another fun fact



otherwise saying the ps3 cell processor is the mommy in some respects to the processor used in the xbox combined with the old powerpc Architecture

this contains all you need to know where you get it or not isnt my problem and im not gona explain it for you, you wanted to know you got
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)#Architecture
for further references and your laziness here is the link to the xbox 360 processor which you failed to click on the hyperlinks posted on the original wiki i linked you
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_(processor)

oh and the new cell processors now have an upgrate which means they run more like how i explained the xbox cpu work it gave a 5x proformace boost relevent or not? So name the game that is totally utilizing this awsome cpu to it fullest capabilites and is totally blowing thhe PS3 outta water for me plz? I mean what use is a awesome cpu if you don't use it to its full potential right? I mean a awesome cpu is totally a good reason to ignore the other console. I mean who cares about the game themselves its the minor difference in the cpu that sells the console not the games.

its not marketed as a multimedia machine its marketed as a game console with multimedia abilitys key there is game console

my comments aint always needed but he didnt need to put [PS3] resistance is a ps3 only title so putting 'Cod vs. resistance' would have done so seeing as he pointed out he had a ps3 i thought id comment on that

an xbox

ps3 does have good points but your better off selling it and getting an xbox

fyi new guy wrong section

Why do you care so much John Doe?

Silly fight is silly.

Imma stop if you can't appreciate the games that come out on both console and insist on only one console than so be it. NES FTW Bitches.

Edit: The arcade is only $100 less than the PS3 therefore I really don't see the point of playing the cheaper/affordable card anymore.

Going to say this nicely. No one really cares about your OPINION. I own both. Each one has their own ups and downs. Trying to convert someone on your own opinion is rather stupid. What one person likes doesn't carry on to the next person. That is just how it is brah, take it or leave it. This is like talking about politics or religion on the interwebs, no progress will be made.

Peace Homie

and ONLY $100 im sorry mr rich guy but $100 (or about £60 to me) is a lot of money and it will be for the messes too unless your rich these minor savings mean a lot

drop the shit im getting tired of this you have a ps3, you love that ps3 your going to defend it to the very end, its your holy grail of a gaming console im sorry to burst your bubble but i choose the more affordable console that plays mostly the same game and has a lot more exclusive titles

its back to the games i have not once said the games where shit on the ps3 (talking about exclusives here) even cross platforms although they incur more problems the delay of their realese usually fixxes a lot of these but it far more stable and effecient on the console it was designed on. and ORANGE BOX i said it before it was a terrible game on the ps3 read up

i never said there was a game that used the cpus full potential i said it would reach its full potential Again I ask the PS3 won't reach it's full potential why?

and ONLY $100 im sorry mr rich guy but $100 (or about £60 to me) is a lot of money and it will be for the messes too unless your rich these minor savings mean a lot Don't try to be an ass, dude you can only play the poor card for so long. Yes definity generalize all PS3 owners as rich.

drop the shit im getting tired of this you have a ps3, you love that ps3 your going to defend it to the very end, its your holy grail of a gaming console im sorry to burst your bubble but i choose the more affordable console that plays mostly the same game and has a lot more exclusive titles There you go with your BS, don't assume shit, I've already stated that I have both and enjoy both, I do not take a stance on wether one is better or the other, I only questioned your reason and your opinion, I've yet to put forth any opinions of my own. Show me in all my post where I took a definite stance behind the PS3, where huh?

in saying that i have played resistance fall of man and it was a really fun game, didnt like the multiplayer but non the less the game was fun as for many other exclusives.

this is where it ends unless you have something more useful to say



i wish that person who always pops into the thread to say 'this is a forum everyone has an oppinion' pops by

and i dont care about your oppinion.

besides i keep saying this neither console is shit but from a gaming stand point i say the xbox 360 is better its my oppinion and its back by what iv learnt at college about how games are made and the hardware each platform uses
