First of all, hardware doesn't mean shit if you have nothing to use it with. We have a wireless headset, wireless controller, and a wireless 'keypad', but don't let that get to you. PS3 also has a 'keypad' about the same size

2nd, the 360 can run the XP Media Center shit, the difference is no Internet. And lets be honest, nobody is going to play games like SRO or WoW on their ps3. Crysis? Maybe but other than the graphics, the game is shit.

3rd, 360 is better because it has more content? GG.

Edit:

I also know a lot of people with PS3s that keep freezing =\ (more people to be specific)
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=ps3 ... arch&meta= [Results 1 - 10 of about 101,000 for ps3 keeps freezing.]
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=xbo ... arch&meta= [Results 1 - 10 of about 74,800 for xbox 360 keeps freezing]

I know the results aren't a good basis for an argument, but we can both play the same game

the 360 has more content? which content are you referring to?

cause the blu ray disks hold more that hddvd (even those arent used anymore that i know of)

GTA IV was the first GTA to go cross-console. It also had to have its content scaled down to fit on the xbox. because at that time it was having to be fit onto a 30GB disk. where as if it had stayed sony exclusive, it would have had 50GB

the xbox has wireless options such as keyboards and headsets...but there are fewer brand options b/c from what i have been told, you HAVE to use microsoft products with it. where as the ps3 will use any brand that works on bluetooth.





here ya go

xbox failure rate 30%

@highonpop
The sales point isnt dumb. lol People are buying 360 because of the better games and better price. If 360 was really shitty, no one would waste any money on it. But hey what do u know? Its beating PS3 sales by a mile. And no, im not talking about sales since it was released, im talking about recent sales. AND if the PS3 was so great dont you think it would have caught up in sales by now? PS3 has been out for a while now. And as you say if PS3 were really the superior console, everyone would trade, but no one i know is rushing to get theirs traded in.

TBH, your pointing out a lot of useless features.

failure ratenew model reduce rrod massively

built in wifi

built in bluetooth who brags about bluetooth anymore? lol my samsung piece of shit phone has bluetooth too.

more wireless optionsElaborate on that, so far what i've seen with PS3 is that its lacking; refering to the dongles u need to plugin in to connect the guitars in GH

more powerful processing, and a graphics engine that has only had the surface scratched.With the games on it now, point is void. And even by the time PS3 does it get its break with games, xbox would probably have upgraded models

the ability to run multiple OSNot necessary. I dont see the point really.

the other ability to double as a computer LOL, the pc and ps3 are so different. Even if you get this shit working its going to be a weeak pc. Tried looking for the topic but i couldnt find it. Anyways, PC=/=PS3. If it worked out it would be like 512 ram. Not the strongest rig available..

The abiltiy of the ps3 to nullify your need for any other home entertainment, aside from a TV and some speakers.Most people who have bought PS3 most probably already had an entertainment system. Everyone does now. Most people just use it to play games, which at the moment, aren't very impressive. Aaaand, 360 can run media center.

Free online game play (tho inferior options to xbl)60$ a year - 5$ a month - 1.15 a week - 16c a day

better controllers (i base this on the power supply of the controllers)For me, and a lot of other people. Shape>Power supply. IMO, the 360 controllers fit comfortably in my hands. This point depends on the person. I think PS3 controllers are too rigid and the triggers are baldy shaped. For power, i use rechargeable batteries. And i have 2 charge and play kits.


the ability to use any USB accessory (jump drives, headsets, cameras, etc.), where as xbox HAS to use microsoft's products.
what crim said

Yeah, there is A LOT more available on the XBL marketplace. You can even buy games from the original xbox and then there are the many arcade games available. After you buy them, just download them onto your 360. I've just bought portal and banjo kazooie from my 360. And all of these have acheivements. Lol@ps3's trophy system.

Also, the new GTAIV expansion is going to be 360 exclusive.

I think thats it.

You guys put too much effort into this haha

I luff 360.

Oh hell no, you did not just play the "from what i've been told" card.

I've been told you're a huge PS3 fanboy.
I've been told 360 content > PS3 content

Either you're retarded or you really don't know what content means, thats as far im going with that.

This is going little overboard. I have to admit that all of you are starting to sound like funboys. Others appreciates different things tha others. This poll or what ever is kinda stupid. Cos everyone likes their own consoles and defends it. Sale statistics doesnt really matter. Answers of this topic should be based on own opinnions not on performance or what ever... And fighting about this is kinda meaningless.

I admit that I have flamed Xbox360. And im sorry about that but I personally like ps3 more.

This is what a console war thread is supposed to look like.

I wasnt the one claiming PS3 is superior to everything.

But it's just starting to look like world war III in here

But I have to say that ps3 aint really that bad

I know it isnt, i have a lot of friends that have a PS3. I dont avoid it when im over their places.

Now look at those failure rates, and then compare them to recent sales numbers. It's logical nubbins. Sure, when sold the same amounts, the 360 will have a slight higher failure rate, but it's not 29%. Not even close. Furthermore that article is from Jun 2007, we're living in 2009, ollldddd. Also, the PS3 hadn't been long released that time, which also explains lower failure numbers. Basically, your 2 links are shit.

Don't come in here spitting out facts you can't even figure our how to read yourself, that's rubbish.


to @all, told you this guys only main arguement was the blue ray disk. They're all that shallow.

That's good. At least you know what you are talking about.

i <3 my 360.

RIP. 1/10/09 12:01 am WTF

what error is that...?

the rrod is 3 quarters of the ring

This may help (though im sure you already looked for answers)

If you cant be bothered to read... Its a hard drive error (i think. [THINK])

its some internal error..something broke i looked it up as soon as it happened. i called xbox..talked to a robot for 20 min that walked me through it..im shipping it back to have fixed in 4 business days when the packaging material arrives.

it was so wierd though i was playin COD 5 with my 2 friends and i crashed and that happened. i called them both, SAME EXACT thing happened to them too! from that same game. i wonder if it was a game bug that phucked my shit up.

I have both consoles, and I play them both intensivly. I don't a graphx should be in the debate because these games look so alike you couldn't notice them without having to look with a magnifying glass if even that much difference. What we should be looking is the online community, the built-in features and such. Now I love the fact that the PS3 can store your own videos,music,pictures and such without having to rip apart anything, I also like the fact that the PS3 has a browser already enabled without running anything else through a PC. The PS3 also supports other OS's which I think for the first time in gaming history has a console let you control it almost to the full extent. I like the fact that all of this is free.
I like that the 360 online community is fun. I enjoy that they netflix integrated using live-stream videos. I like the new firware/gui they recently add on with the Avatars. I also like the party mode so u can chat, and some game intergrate party feature. I love that the 360 was cheaper, and I enjoy how they made the friend system work out so smoothly

BUT in my opinion I chose the 360 for one reason, the online capabilities. Other than that I may of chose my ps3


also what I saw funny!!!! I went to Wal-Mart and I saw the the displayed xbox 360 had the red-ring of death hahahahaha LMFAO!!!!!!! and then I saw like 5 employess trying to fix it, so I walked up, I'm like guys, you can't fix it. I said ur gonna have to use another one or send it in. And they asked me if I was sure. So I told one of the employees to go google their backset computers about and about 10mins later they came out and agreed and thanked me very much ^_^
hahahahahahahahahaa I was bored

That error looks like overheating.

I have always been sony > nintendo > microsoft. Inside my heart I wish for the PS3 to fail because if anything, I have always been a sony fanboy. Even when it comes to handhelds, tvs, and other electronics - I always buy sony first.

Despite that I know deep down inside that the PS3 is inferior to the 360. There's no denying it: side by side comparison, sales figures, content, exclusives, quality of games, online community, etc. etc. etc.

The only reason nintendo has been able to succeed is because it has found its niche. It's doing well because it doesn't compete head to head with sony and microsoft; and not because of the quality of the console.

Bullshit. You know why? The computers we have at walmart are very restricted to walmart related sites. Google is not accessible.

Oh. My. Gawd.

You just pwnt him a new hole, damn that was brutal.

This is a nice breath of fresh air from highonpop's fanboyism.

nope they went back there and told me, lol the guy was about 20 looking too lol so hahahaha, sounds like ur calling me a liar and thats no nice

Im pretty sure MrJoey works at walmart, so he would know.

When it comes to tech, <3 Sony all the way.

Actually, Sony's TV's aren't that great. Samsung > all right now when it comes to those.

Panasonic > Samsung

OH SHI-

I lol'd kinda hard today. My school mate told me that he got the red ring of death on his xbox. First thing that came up in my mind was this thread

I laugh at people saying the R2 & L2 buttons are to user un friendly. Get out of here with that shit. I pull off just frame moves and jump cancels with ease on DMC4 and never, never managed to lose grip of the buttons. Some of you must have been born with inverted fingers then.

360 triggers are better imo.

Theyre even selling trigger extensions for PS3 controllers.



You might not have any problems with the triggers, but a lot of people are; enough people to actually start selling trigger extensions..
