I'm not a 360 fanboy or anything, I think 360, PS3, and Wii all be great consoles. But there's some points here that you tried to make that I just can't deal with.
1.) They don't mind paying for a service that gives them in return laggie games because of hosting P2P junk right? What gives? Sony is free and it has dedicated servers. Come on think OUTSIDE of the box.
This is probably your most valid point. I don't mind paying for online, I don't regret it, but it would be nice if it was free like sony's. But on the other hand, Xbox Live is easier to develop for than PSN, and alot of people say you get a better service. I never had a serious problem with lag on XBL.
2.) PSN is already coming up with more orignal stuff for downloads vs XBL arcade with old school games. LBP, Stardust, Socom, Warhawk (on disc too), Echo Crome. Come on and play your old Doom and Street fighter. Granted you get UT Mortal Kombat which is nice. But still you brag on this? You must not be thinking outside the box.
There's a 6 page topic on this. End story is that PSN is NOT better. It's comparing apples and oranges. XBLA offers many cheap small ARCADE games. And your saying PSN is better because it lets you download more expensive RETAIL games. And saying XBLA is not coming up with original stuff is silly, if you looked in on it you can see there are several original games coming out, and coming out for it, on top of it's old games.
3.) The console I own shoves the cost of servers and such to the developers because gaming is free. But 360 fanboys proudly pay $50 bucks to help out developers. If I was a developers I'd laugh to the bank. Think of all the online games you play and divide the $50 bucks across the board of games. Say you bought 6 games in 2006 that you play online. $50/6 = 8.33. So really you didn't pay $59.99 you paid $68.32. Doesn't sound so smart does it? Maybe next time you will think outside of the box.
This is really a continuation of your first point, which I already responded to.
4.) 360 guys think their system is gold, yet it has a crash rate of what 1/10 system sold? Whats Sonys? 1/200,000 or better? Sometimes being cheap doesn't pay does it. SOME times you get what you pay for.
Yes, the 360 is the least reliable right now. But they are working on a new chip and better venting. It should be fixed, or at least a lot better by next year. Even now, it's not so bad if it breaks, with a 3 year warranty, free repairs and shipping. If it breaks, you just have to live without it for about 2 weeks (usually less) while it's sent away.
5.) All your games will eventually be on PC, or at least the good ones with in 1 to 3 years. Halo 3 Vista 2010 promise you. Bioshock is on PC the day it comes out. The system was a wash, on crap not worth porting to PC is worth the price of a 360 and its crap.
This is ridiculous. Most 360 exclusives will stay on the 360, the myth has been busted time and time again, yet people do not listen. And just because a game is on the PC does not make the 360 any worse. It's cheaper than a high end PC, which most people do not have. Thus, a good investment.
6.) Lems laugh at Cows, saying you were forced to purchase BluRay with your system. At least Sony has taken the steps to allow developers HD freedom of space. Thus not giving the PS3 a lower denominator of game builds like for the 360 games are adapted to take on a no hard drive system supporting a 9 gig disc. I'm proud of my purchase that is set for long term actually. GTA, could be a case of disc shortage, R* probably called MS and said we are running out of space. MS said nah just bill the gamer the etc content and say its new epa. Oh and keep them from the PS3 version since that will harm are image, here's 50 million bucks. MS made a bad thing look like a good thing.
Your points are getting worse and worse. That entire scenario with Microsoft and Rockstar that you made up pretty much destroys your dignity. Meaning it's hard to take you seriously. BluRay games do have more space, that does not make the 360 bad in any means. If you need more room, you can use more disks, it's been done before, and will be done again.
7.) Cleary Sony's first 7 months of 2007 have been lack luster. But thats for the preparing for an onslaught of games that consume the 360 in every way of the word. Personally, Elderscrolls, Tekken 5, Motorstorm, Resistance are all I play. Besides some rentals of course and I love each of these. But after Warhawk its pretty much over for 360 domination in games.
Isn't it like Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, UT3, Haze, Uncharted and a couple others right in a row? Say what ever you want about them at least they are original unlike all 360 offers is FPS, and now they are bashing RPG's to death with a couple coming so it will be a 90 FPS, 10% RPG. Bland, Besides UT3 and Haze all my games this year are 100% different for my taste. Halo 3 is nice but that is all their is, Masseffect while a solid looking game doesn't even support facial features in the level of Heavenly Sword, AND Heavenly sword is a button masher haa.
Yes, I agree, the PS3 does have some good games coming out. But most people here, including me, are more looking forward to Xbox's line up currently. And again, the 360 only has FPS myth has been busted time and time again. Statistically I think it was like 16% of the games were FPS.
Mass effect has some amazing dialogue animation, and much more dialogue than Heavenly Sword. Using facial expression to bash a game is quite silly, even if Heavenly sword has better animations. Other than that, you made no real points against the 360 or game lineup.
I hope you understand that you are a fanboy, right? More so than most the people your addressing, I would go as far to say. I'm not trying to start a fight with you, I'm just saying you should take your own advice and open up a little more yourself.
