Subject: *I'm thinking of switching over to PS3 because of Halo 3...

Yeah I said it.I use to love halo 3 but now there are so many things wrong with it I feel like switching consoles.

First,you pay for the console,then you pay for the hard drive(unless you pay out the @ss and get it all at once),then you pay for the head set,then you pay for Halo,then you pay for the internet,then you pay for x-box live every year,plus you(we)have to pay for the maps,and on top of all that,we have to put up with cheaters,derankers,and the good ol(sarcasm)lag switch.If you don't know what the lag switch is then youtube it and look at what you can do with it.And did I mention having to go through 3 xbox's because of the stupid red light??Did I mention that?

Sure you have to pay for maps for the ps3 but that's way better then paying out the ass for something we shouldn't have to.I thought Xbox would hop all over giving x-box live free to their loyal fans,Sony does.And that means Sony IS better then x-box.Thanx x-box for treating your loyal customers unjustly and making them pay for every little thing you can..so nice of you(note sarcasm).

Call this a complaint,I don't care.I'm a loyal paying customer and have the right to complain.I'm tired of paying for every single little thing and having to spend a weeks(when I first got my xbox)pay just so I can have all the pieces needed to play live.

What do the fans get in return for their loyal service??Pay pay pay!

And now every time I play all there is,is cheaters and derankers ruining the game for me....Is it worth it?

You tell me!

There is always Halo Reach, but if you want a PS3 go for it.

Love my girl, 4/11/11.

I say play whatever you want to play. If you can't handle Micro$ofts/Halo's somewhat broken online, feel free to play on PS3. I personally disconnect my router and play local games when I can't handle the pain-in-the-ass online can be some times.

It's not that I want a ps3..it's the fact I won't have to pay to play.

If Sony can do it then so can xbox.

Micro$oft has more gamers than PS3 I believe. They do price everything high, but it's because Xbox has better online games and game genres if you ask me.

It's the exact same on ps3 except for the major cheaters. There is still cheating though.

You now have to start paying for ps3 online as well. Ya most of it is free but a major shift is starting. Just watch any good game that comes out if you want to play any good playlist you will have to have the plus service. It just came out and they will surely want to get it like the live service.

You still have to buy map packs.

And I have lost a ps3 already. Guess what they don't replace it.

I think your miss-informed on the ps3.

Its funny I remember Sega net :D Which alot of Live is based off of. Xbox and Dreamcast share a lot of similarities.

As for the PS3 there is a video that sums up how I feel http://screwattack.com/videos/TGO-EPISODE-39-The-Emperor-Has-N o-Clothes

Sony is making you pay for online now?Since when?

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Having to pay for a console, hard drive, Live and internet is not Halo 3's fault. You do not have to pay for DLC to play Halo 3 and paying for DLC is just as relevant on the Ps3.

Guess what else? You have to pay for all these on the PS3 as well, just short of the Live, but with the PS3 there are no bundles with the head set and the head set is more expensive.

Cheaters, lagg switching and derankers are in all online capable platforms including PS3.

Microsoft would make xbox live free if their loyal fans weren't so willing to pay the price.


All your complaints are not related to Halo 3. None of them are directly related to the game. Theres nothing Bungie can do about RROD, xbox Live and it's prices, they've tried to make DLC free but because of microsoft they can not and Bungie does more about cheaters than most developers.

Don't complain about DLC, you'd be complaining if Bungie didn't support the game if they didn't do dlc. If you don't like the prices, wait for price drops or don't purchase dlc at all. DLC will go down in price eventually. Heroic went free, Cold Storage was released free, Legendary is now only two dollars(eight dollars cheaper than it started out as), Mythic Part 1 is only five dollars now(half it's original price) and eventually Mythic part 2 will drop in price as well if not become free some day.

ODST came out as well which gave players all the maps for Halo 3 on top of a new campaign and multiplayer mode. It was a chance for those who had been holding out to get that dlc in a good deal. And eventually ODST is going to be dirt cheap to.

DLC should not have to be free. The developer worked on the content and it's only fair they should be compensated.

there is nothing saying we HAVE to but these things, dont blame halo 3 for your dislike of microsofts money making scemes.

  • 09.09.2010 12:41 AM PDT

Maybe a month 2 months max. It's called "PlayStation plus"

  • 09.10.2010 12:05 AM PDT

I wasn't aware that it happens with other games because Halo 3 is the only game I play online.

If you look at bungie jobs their hiring for PS3 developer or something. Idk if that helps your decision or not but I thought it would be useful.

It's Hazard Time

Lets see...
PS3 has FREE online gaming and will always have,get free DLC that costs on 360, blu-ray, PSN plus gets you free games/themes every month and stuff. And Bungie goes multi-platform...

The 360 forces you to pay 60$ to pay online, you get to pay for every DLC and next to no free (premium) themes, no free games, no blu-ray, and loads on cheaters/haxxors on live. It does have Gears of War and Reach, that's it sadly when it comes to attractive exclusives.

Why do I own a 360 still and not a PS3? XD
Simply because I've not got enough money to buy another console right now :P

  • 09.10.2010 4:47 AM PDT

Hey.

I've owned a PS3 since launch

XBL>PSN

Even with forking out cash for XBL Gold.

You are mistaken. All DLC costs the exact same as XBL; it's definitely NOT free. Without buying the new PSN Plus there are very few perks available to consumers. Maybe a few crappy free themes hear and there.

In soviet B.net you don't delete the flood, the flood deletes you.

If the following has ever happened to you on the flood: been butthurt, offended, angry from someone's post, feel like Nerd Raging . . . you have the right to SHUT UP

Also, if you play Reach this is YOU

PS3 has no games, has no Halo . . . what would you play????

CoD??? Barf

...because I'm awesome. Yes, I am.

I know people who don't like PS3 and Sony even though they own one. When they break (a common fault being faulty connections) Sony don't fix it.
As for Halo 3 itsself, Bungie.net is the best stats collator and community forums are the best about.
Oah and initial costs are the same - xbox and all extras + games + live (1 year) = 1 PS3 on it's own

just evening out the complaints...

Man, I miss dem Halo 3 days :'(

And you pay for ALL those things with a PS3, aside from the Xbox Live cost, which works out at around £0.77p per week. Poor guy.

I have both PS3 and 360 -- i have to say online is better on the PS3. I play Halo because most of my friends have 360s but when it annoys me I just switch consoles. My advice? Get a PS3 (and BFBC2) but DONT sell your 360 :)

I don't know if its been implemented yet or not, but you'll have to pay to play online with the PS3.
