i never wanted a ps3 i wanted a 360

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

I used to have a PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox all at the same time. I even had the PS2 before I had all of those. But when I got an Xbox, it blew away my mind. When I bought Halo, I sold my Gamecube and PS2. I realized at that moment that I will never buy another Sony or Nintendo gaming product ever again, because the graphics can't even compare to the Xbox's.

When I got my 360, I was amazed. When I heard about the PS3, I thought "Ok, I might get it."

Halo 3 sure made that idea go out of my head.

The only decent things that Sony has on Xbox is Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid.

Final Fantasy is outdated. Metal Gear Solid was outmatched by Splinter Cell by a mile.

Sony thinks that since they have MGR 4, they will own the gaming industry, and they know some idiots will buy a rip-offed product for more than $600.

That is ridiculous.

It just goes to show how good the Xbox 360 is and will be, and how desperate Sony and Nintendo are to stay alive in the gaming industry.

In short:

Gears of War is the first strike against the PS3.

Halo 3 is the killing blow.

The ones who are speaking negatively about the PS3 are judging a book by its cover. You don't even yet know the potential of the PS3. Watch it own the 360 so you can eat your words. Yall probly also just being racist that the Xbox is produced my Microsoft wich is American and the PS3 is made by Sony, a Japanese export. You racist wiggers. *I just tell it like it is*.

was there anything actually wrong with the 360, and is it true that if you play it for more than say 4 or5 hours it would burn up. and you couldnt use it anymore


there were some pretty serious overheating issues, the hardrive would simply turn off the xbox after a few hours of play because it was overheating, i had 2 friends that had this problem

subsequent 360 production generations have this problem fixed, mine was 4th generation when i got it so it didnt have any problems

Microsoft will replace your 360 free of charge, just call them up and they will set it up, with a prepaid package you send it in

Dude, Sony doesn't even have any good launch titles for it. It only boasts Final Fantasy XIII as a launch title...

And while that looks cool... I'm not paying six hundred bucks for FINAL FANTASY.

Final Fantasy has eleven OTHER games I can play without spending much money.... Heck, the other eleven games probably cost as much as the system itself.

Six hundred and sixty bucks to play one game... Or six hundred bucks to play eleven...

Sorry buddy, but Sony loses out.

Final Fantasy isn't as impressive as it once used to be. It is starting to show age with it's countless sequals and reinventing of it's own systems. The most revolutionary idea to date, to come out of Final Fantasy, was the Sphere Grid level up system. Everything else has been done by the other games in the genre before. Some of the RPGs around even have BETTER stuff than Final Fantasy.

I'm not saying that I hate Sony... But as long as it has crappy games for a high price, like the Nintendo DS... I'm not buying one. I'll spend my $200 on a Nintendo Wii and get three games right off the bat that I know I'll love.

And all Nintendo has been missing has been "internet capability". That's really all it needs to catch up with Microsoft. Many of it's games are good, and would be even better across the internet.

Heck, I'd buy a Nintendo Wii just based upon the video of Mario Galaxies that I've seen.


EDIT: The only problems I've experienced with my 360 have to do with a freezing issue. For some reason, after I got the spring update, and after I bought the PDZ Map Pack 1... I have been experiencing freezes with that game. Farcry Instincts would sometimes slow down during gameplay, but I've had no other issues with it. PDZ also refuses to even LOAD some maps up, and will freeze to the point I can do nothing with it, except turn it off and turn it back on. I can't load most bright maps, and some of the other maps freeze from time to time. But it seems to only be multiplayer that's affected.

Anyone else have this problem?

Leave this forum and this website now.

If you wanna be pro-Sony, go the Sony website and post.

We don't want you here.

I don't even know why people like PS2. What good games are on it? None. The only thing that PS2 had was GTA, and now that's on the Xbox. Sorry, Sony. And most people that I know that play a PS2 play it for sports games. WTF? They are on every freakin' console! And Xbox has the greatest FPS's ever created! [Halo and Halo 2]

Why I hate the PS3

Personnaly I hate Sony and it's PS3 not because it's japanese, the proof is that I have respect for the Wii and it's innovations and it's japanese too. It's juste that Sony presented the PS3 by saying some features that actually the PS3 won't have (look at this picture) and they show some pre-rendered fake gameplay videos like Killzone and pretend it's the actual PS3 graphics.

The truth is that the PS3 is not more powerful than the 360 and the only innovations they have is the Blu-Ray drive (that makes the console so expensive) and the Boomerang Controller (that they abandonned because nobody liked it). After all they did is to copy the Xbox 360 interface, online features and Marketplace, and also Wii's motion-sensitive controller.

well, all sony does when it comes to consoles is COPY everything, let's start with their online gaming that is exactly as xbox live with a marketplace as this other guy already mentioned and everything almost exactly the same.
then again Wii's controler motion sensor copied.
althought the 360 is realeasing a cam for xbox live on september, that is like ps's I toy

okay, before the release of the halo 3 trailer, i was set on buying a PS3. This was because i heard about all of the stuff that was going wrong with the 360 and the PS3 is supposed to be better. But after i saw the trailer my mind completely changed and now i am for sure getting a 360 and halo 3. Did anyone else feel this way?


No but only because Xbox360 and Halo 3 were givens to me since the day I was born.

But man oh man does that PS3 sound great! $599 price of admission into a world of epicly worhtless processing power being crippled by a HORRIBLE design. But I won't get into that since I'll be seen as nothing but a troll. So all I'm going to say is no one I know (including myself) who has a 360 has had any problems with it so clearly those overheating issues and the like were severely exaggerated.

EDIT: Well since an above poster is posting away about how much he hates Sony I feel I should add in why I despise them, it is no more complicated than their press release where they say, and I will say this as accurately as I remember, but basically Sony thinks that after PS1 and PS2 they have built up such a strong, loyal fanbase that they can sell millions of PS3s even if there are ZERO launch titles! They are so full of themselves its ridiculous.

It was either a press release or an interview of some sort, google it Im sure you can find it.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

A 360 will be mine LONG before any playstation product. Except for the PS1 I got at a garage sale a while back.

To put it simply, yes.
One: My 360 has only had one problem so far. Long loading times in Oblivion. This was fixed by clearing the cache memory. Mostly, the problems people are having with their 360's is either they have one of the earlier, buggier models, or theyre mistreating them, i.e. putting them on heat gathering death-carpet.

Two: I think the PS3 is going to be a major letdown. My friend is deadset on getting one. Hes a 'hardcore' sony fan. Mostly cause he doesnt play FPS's...
I keep telling him Sony is gonna screw everyone. First they decide to keep the old controller, which I hate. The layout sucks. Microsoft has them beat there. Then they raise the price... All because of BluRay...

I had the original Playstation... then my bro got a PS2 and I got an Xbox... instead of me getting a PS2, he ended up getting an Xbox (Because of Halo) ... and that's that!

Xbox is converting people... until there's noone left with Sony I reckon...
