Man I'm going to miss Crackdown

 I've picked up RFoM, Motorstorm, F1, FNR3 and Full Auto 2.  Changing ISPs so have not been able to register with PSN yet but will do soon.

 Gutted about my 360 but did not want to risk losing all that money by buying a replacement (and having to restart all my games and lose all my downloads - the HDD died).

sorry about ur 360...but have fun with ur ps3 its really fun, and will get great games, apart from the good games it has now, and will update to a much better online system. Im not only talking about home, but the network feature of the ps3 itself will be better..so that non home users can play games with friends easier and all that cool stuff.

Out of warrenty. I wanted to buy another 360, but I'd have to restart all my 10 games and I'd lose all my downloaded stuff. Was gutted. But traded all that in and got my PS3 at a good price so it made sense. I'm hoping the PS3 proves more durable and now I can enjoy Motorstorm and RFoM, etc.

I also had red rings problem, but i idiot have bought another X360. On friday i've also bought Ps3. Welcome to the Playstation world. I doubt you'll regret it cos it's great, i'm much more pleased with my Ps3 than i was with my first X360.

Well, I have to say Motorstorm and RFoM genuinely are worth playing, and i just buried my deceased 360 with the excellent GoW, PGR3, Crackdown, etc, etc, so I should know. I have not seen any vast difference between the games on either console, but I'm aware the PS3 games are launch titles, though I'll take that with a pinch of salt as the 360 games will improve as the devs improve also. At the end of te day they are both great systems and the PS3s game collection will grow and further improve. There's no point trying to argue one has good games the other does not.

if you kept up with the ps3 games comin out then you'd know for a fact that there are a bunch of exclusive titles worth playing. Just to list a couple:

MGS4, Lair,Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Killzone 2, etc.

You get the idea right? So far the only EXCLUSIVE(thats right, just one game) worth playing on the 360 is Halo 3.

But I have 5 great games now that will keep me going until new titles come out. If you only came here to rub my dead 360 in my face and have a fashionable bash at Sony please don't bother. I'm really not in the mood. I just lost a beloved console, my saves, the downloads, etc.

I completed GoW in 2 days (that's not a diss just a fact) and did play it onine, but it was first ever shooter and I sucked at it! Loved it still, but I was the one with 1 kill at the end of evey game! lol

Im in the same boat. My Xbox360 keeps refusing to keep the tray closed and spits out any cd's I put in it. Strangely it doesnt seem to mind the Sopranos. Anyway, Im thinking of trading it in and buying a ps3. I have noticed that the games seem to be more expensive though. Are the graphics any better than the 360?

No matter how many times a day I see this, I still can't get over it.

 

What compels mouth-breathers like you to browse the "enemies" forums and try and stir things up? It just never occurs to me to go to the 360 forums and fan the flames of this marketing-driven "war" that is all just smoke and mirrors and hype anyway. I was actually considering buying a 360 a couple months ago, but after a couple of weeks of reading the most ridiculous trolling in history, I decided I never wanted to have anything in common with you, regardless of how good the console is. I'm sure I'm not the only customer this stupid fanboy war has scared off.

When my 360 gets the ring of death I will certainly get a PS3. The only reason I bought the 360 was because the cost of DVD DL. Blu-Ray disk are too much right now.  It cost $20 a peice and also Blu-Ray writers are damn expensive right now too.  But right now my 360 has been good to me and a lot cheaper too.:D

Good choice in choosing the PS3, Microsoft is just trying to rip you of with they're x360. All the things you get when buying a PS3 is worth the price, and the biggest thing is Bluray. Think about it. Allready the game makers are filling up they're Dual layer DVD's, that's about 8 GB. While us PS3 owners have dual layer Bluray with 50 GB on it, and when they start to make Disc's with more layers we can get 100 GB or 200 GB. So Microsoft really did make a BIG mistake by not build in a HD DVD drive in the X360. Imagine how big GTA could have been on the PS3, if they was'nt making it for xbox. With High Def, comes big textures, something Microsoft did'nt think of.

If you were a PGR3 fan, then you need to get that ISP goin and download GT: HD. I'm assuming you've never played the GT series, and I must say, you're kinda missing out a lil. :P

Gee, so many MS trolls today. Don't you guys have better things to do, like making yourselves believe that MS didn't screw you over with the new "elite" 360. Oh, but we had the elite system from day one and this system has HDMI, Blu-Ray, free online and Wi-fi for only $30 more. Did I mention that there is also a non-proprietary upgradeable harddrive. Now be gone with you, trolls!!

No I had a PS1 and PS2 it's all good. I've played GT. Can't wait for my new ISP to finally be setup, then I will be getting the free GT HD for sure.

Don't sweat it, I don't think they mean you, they're just ranting in general about the months of "PS3 has no games" abuse.

Man I'm going to miss Crackdown

 I've picked up RFoM, Motorstorm, F1, FNR3 and Full Auto 2.  Changing ISPs so have not been able to register with PSN yet but will do soon.

 Gutted about my 360 but did not want to risk losing all that money by buying a replacement (and having to restart all my games and lose all my downloads - the HDD died).

Join the club.  My 360 died yesterday.  I am not spending another penny on an xbox product ever again.
