PS3 Owners here that switched from 360?

Hey guys, I have a 360, but had a ps2 before the 360 and loved it. I like the 360 so far, but i dont like Gears of War and I dont like Halo. And those are two big games coming out for the 360, but I dont care about them. GTA and other games that im looking forward to are coming out for both consoles..and just the other day the 360 messed up my MLB 2K7.. which really pissed me off. Anyway, are there any ps3 owners here that switched from 360? if so..i have a couple questions

Was it worth getting the ps3 over 360?

How much did you sell your xbox plus the games for?

Where did you sell it?

Is XBL really THAT MUCH better then ps3 online or is there really no difference? 

And if there are any ps3/360 owners here..do you think switching to PS3 is a smart move or should I just keep the 360

thanks in advance

I have both, First a 360 and now a ps3.

XBL is far better than PSN as it stands at the moment.

The games on my 360 are all good (Dead rising, Gears of war, Condemned (Depends if your into horror) and R6v)

My ps3 is awsome and has some great games coming out though, so i must say i like my ps3 more. I can have entire episodes of shows on my ps3 at full SD quality looks just like tele! Something that really wasnt all that possible with 360.

• Bought 360

• No regrets
  

ok thanks to everyone that has posted there opinion..its helped me out alot about getting the ps3. So my last question is..I have Guitar Hero II, MLB 2K7, and Madden 07..other games I had i already sold. So with those 3 games plus my 360..where do you think the best place to sell it is and how much do you think i can get?

i really don't think you should sell it but maybe you are just not intrested in western games. nonethelss, if you are going to sell it, i think ebay is your best bet. I would also try goozex.com to trade your 360 games for ps3 games. Its a cool service, sometimes it takes awhile to get your game but it saves you a lot of money.

One quick suggestion(I am trying not to be modded so I am self censoring :D)

I believe that MS is offering a replacement program for discs that are damaged by the lens of the Laser.  So if your disk has the perfect circle all the way around they might replace it for you.  This is a benefit to you whether you sell it, trade it or keep it.

Got a PS3, but traded up for a 360 weeks later. Once I play Mass Effect and Halo 3 plus Too Human I'll be picking up a PS3 once more and saying good bye to my 360. I love J-games and 360 is an American box full of shooters and not much else. The PS3 will have a greater rang of games.

Taking it to a game store won't net you anything. I would only sell games and systems on Ebay. at least you have some control over the final price and generally speaking it'll be a lot better than the pitiful amount Gamestop, etc., will give you. 

No its not a smart move to sell your 360. I dont much like gears of war anymore either, but stick with your 360 and just buy a PS3. Oh and get over and used to 360 messing up your games, you shouldnt mess with it while its running anyway.Metalhero1

lol i would get over it when they fix it, thats stupid that you pay 60 bucks for a game and a chincy drive ruins the disk, and no it's not always from people messing around with the 360 while it's running, thats been disproven. 

im in the same boat.

i can only afford one console and the ps3 is looking damn good. My 360 is collecting dust, but I guess ps3 doesnt have that good of games right now anyway.

I'll agree there is a problem with the other console and its proclivity for scratching games.

I have a problem with your use of the word "chincy".

Just what is that supposed to mean?

it just means cheap and bad quality, as far as i know it's not a slur or anything, sorry if it offended you, that was never my intention

If I think I know what you're thinking then I believe he means cheap, not oriental indictating cheap. 

From my experience I would say the 360 is much better in the media department. You ever heard about Media Center or streaming videos? Man I stream Blu ray and HD DVD rips to my 360 in 1080P. Plus it's all in VC-1Chronic2007

Now we have a name to blame when DRM gets implemented to its fullest.

We typically place Xbox360 posts in the Xbox360 forum.

We typically place comparison posts in the System Wars forum.

you mean to tell me you send a HD media format to your tv through an analog signal (both component and vga are angalog), id rather run it from my graphic cards extra dvi-d hook up and keep it a digital signal, it is cool though that you can stream it though, i hope the tre gets something simular soon

My bad. :) 

[QUOTE="techargon"][QUOTE="Chronic2007"][QUOTE="Devils_Joker_22"]

If that is some issue you then too bad. There is very little difference between component and HDMI plus my PC is not next to my TV so I stream everything and it looks sweet.

Chronic2007

to be honest i can tell the difference, and i use high quality component cables (or i used to, now my hd direct tv is through hdmi, my ps3 is in hdmi, and my computer is dvi-d- my computer monitor couldnt even recieve the highest resolution from my graphics card through vga). im just saying that the current xbox isn't some "greater media solution" when it old technology and has to be re made to live up to today's high def specs (a year later), you may or may no agree with me, but that's your opinion and i respect that

There is very little difference between component and HDMI

I guess that's what people say to make themselves feel better.

"I can't tell the difference so it's no big deal!" 

Mods should lock this thread.... Do some tests if you think HDMI makes that much of a difference which I have done many times. The only time you will tell a difference is if you have a massive display and me could care less about HDMI. In the mean time I am going to look at Casino Royale Blu Ray Rip. Peace

Chronic2007

your right i just looked it up, there is no difference between a digital signal and an analog one, they are actually saying that hdmi will be phased out by component later this month, my bad

by the way i have a 62 inch panasonic 1080p dlp, and a 24 inch gateway 1080p lcd, i can tell the diffrence on both 

Why should this thread be locked; because people don't agree with you?
guyhunter

No, because he's wrong AND admitted to something illegal. :lol:
