For people that have a PS3 and 360 do you use the 360 only for its exclusives?

Just wondering how many view the consoles like I do. I have a PS3 and 360 but 85% of my games are played on the PS3 and the 360 is only used for the few exclusives I am interested in and as a DVD player. My reasons are

-Multiplats are pretty much equal on both consoles, and if you care about the insignificantdifference in multiplats that much you may as well get the PS3 exclusives which are only trumped by a few PC games.

-PS3 has free online

-PS3 controller is much better, especially for fighting games.

-PS3 is far more reliable than 360

-Bluetooth mics

-Trophies are much more fun than Achievements

How about you guys?

I use them about the same, i usually get the multiplats based upon the genre as I like the 360 controller much better for shooters and the PS3 better for platformers and fighting games. I do like Xbox Live better though, so I usually get online focused games for the 360.

I hardly touch my ps3, true story but everyone is different. PSN- Xsatyr Gamertag-extremesatyr86

if you're going to play the 360 for exclusives anyway then you'd probably already have a mic and a live subscription. everything else you said was opinion or irrelevant. and because many multiplats are better on 360 as well as more ppl in the US being on the 360 i'd say it would generally be more likely that the PS3 that gets only exclusive play.

For the most part yes, I don't have a gaming pc so I use it for games that are only on 360/PC as well. I also use it for most first person shooters.

My 360 is mostly used as a DVD player in a guest room with no internet.

Wow my thread upset the TC this much he had to make this thread

I own both a PS3 and 360; always have and always will refuse to pay for Xbox Live Gold. I use my 360 primarily to play exclusives, but also occasionally to play superior single-player multiplats like Bayonetta.

No it is not, ports have not been as bad recently but 360 still has the advantage for most multiplats.

I'm almost always on my PS3 or PC.

However, I wanted to finish ME2 so I've been on my 360 non-stop for a few days. I only buy 360 exclusives, not multiplats. The longer this generation has progressed, the more I've seen the advantages in the PS3 over the 360.

I still love the 360 exclusives though. The games are great, the console however, isn't.

-PS3 controller is much better, especially for fighting games - 360 controller is more ergonomically correct and is much beter for shooters

-PS3 is far more reliable than 360 - early on maybe, but that no longer holds true

-Bluetooth mics - which most people don't have or use

-Trophies are much more fun than Achievements - Both are useless timesinks

If you care about the little insignificant pixel differences some PS3/360 multiplats have, you may as well get PS3 exclusives where the differences are much bigger.

I have played both Live and PSN and notice not a single difference between them for online play, other than the fact that I have 60 extra dollars in my pocket for an extra game when I cancelled my Live. Its really sad how lemmings actually pay for life. I used to as well and now look at those days with horror. The brainwashing I must have been under...

And TC, I don't use the 360 for its exclusives because the 360 has garbage exclusives IMO. Thats why I sold it. The only entertainment you can get is online (Halo, the only good 360 exclusive IMO) and I'm not willing to pay for a service that should be free.

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] Games are not superior on the 360, that's actually a huge mith(pc however), I buy games for both consoles and just don't see these differences in the games people see here in sw, well except for bayonetta which was an extremely lazy port job on their part; they do not excist.edo-tensei

No it is not, ports have not been as bad recently but 360 still has the advantage for most multiplats.

To you maybe but I notice frame drops and jaggies pretty easily. Also ps3 usually gets a washed out look on many games, GTA and Assassin Creed for example.

I only use mine for netflix and blu-ray.

I do play ps3 exclusives, this thread has nothing to do with ps3 exclusives though...

So what's the point of a clone of this thread, TC? Rephrasing doesn't make it different.

-More robust community? can you prove that? So what if COD have 2-3 mil more players. Its not like you can take advantage of that and play with 6+ million people at once. As long as you're able to find games.

-More ergonomically correct? Not true at all. Most people actually prefer the DS3. So is shooters the only genre available now? What abou the other genres?

-No one use Bluetooth? Again, can you prove that. Seems you're making up stuff here

Well I certainly don't think people would rely on 360s exclusives alone.. Would be much gaming for them then ;)

At least with the PS3 and say, PC, you can just play exclusives and have an amazing catalogue of games.

Once again, its a port. I have both versions and the biggest difference is less grass in the PS3 version. I guess that makes the PS3 version unplayable right? 99 percent of multiplats don't have differences this big and arent even anything to write home about.

[QUOTE="xsatyr86"]

[QUOTE="edo-tensei"] That's mostly because they are simply prts for the ps3, when devs make both versions from the ground up(like we've seen resently) there are no downsides to any version.1Stark1

The 360 has much less aliasing, higher resolution and more artifacts. Whether you like it or not most multiplats look better on the 360. The ps3 takes the cake with exclusives, some of you are fanboys to the core. Facts are facts, get over it.

I personally don't own a PS3, the 2 main reason's are 1.price and 2. controller (hate the playstation controller, you need tiny hands for it to be comfortable) but out of the 5 people I know that own both, their PS3 is used for Blu-Ray movies and 1 or 2 exclusives, they play all multi-platform games on the 360.

I use my Ps3 most as it has more games that I want to play.

The multiplats are (from what I've played) identical unless you sit 2mm from the screen or analyse screenhots all day. Some games are supposed to look washed out but I've noticed nothing - even on Ass-Creed - although that might be because my TV has a "game" setting where it adjusts the TV to provide optimal contrast, brightness and sharpness etc.

One of the only X360 exclusives I have any big interest in was Alan Wake but I've already beat that twice and there are no upcoming exclusives that I want. Gears 3 will no doubt be a decent game (the other two were great) but it's nothing spectacular. Add into that the Blu-ray and free multiplayer and you can see I've no reason to keep the X360 plugged in. I've only got room under my TV for one anyway.

Link?

Only games I have for PS3 so far are exclusives until I get Dead Space 2. 360 I have a mix of multi's and exclusives.

I use my 360 for most of my gaming, and just a few games i was really interested for PS3 like MAG, Little Big Planet and Modnation Racers..that's all I have bought for the console so far.

almost all my multiplat games are on 360.

it's like amateur night over on psn and something almost always gets on my nerves.

a buddy was wanting to play resistence 2 the other night and the whole thing was a chore. a 20 min update, no matchmaking and friend invites and here i am scrolling down a list to find his room. i also thought the audio quality was pretty bad.

it's not that it's some kind of dealbreaker or that every psn session is so terrible or anything it's just tough to go back to stuff like that after paying people to do it for you.

Use my 360 for xbox exclusives and also multiplats that I dont get on PC I get on 360 most the time. Xbox360 seems to have the better version most the time (there are times when ps3 versinon is better to and ive got ps3 version, but not often). Also I like the 360 controller a bit better.

There are soem great exclusives on teh 360 from its release day till now imo.

While my ps3 I use for exclusives and also Blu Ray movies alot.

Overall I think both ps3 and 360 are pretty even, at least for my taste.

PC still gets played a bit more though :P

nothing worse than being all excited to play a game and then realizing that you gotta wait 45+ minutes to play...by the time the whole updates are done I'm already busy doing something else :P
