There are no good games that aren't on PC/PS3

Seriously... none. I can't think of one

It is more expensive when you factor in all the stuff you need to buy

The online has lag

Zero exclusive GOTYs

No MGS

No Blu Ray

The only reason I can think of is because you can play with friends. That's a bad reason IMO

I don't get why Gamespot hasn't made it so users can't make threads/posts until they've reached, at least, level seven.

diamondmaniac12

i have a ps3, and im still going to go against you on somethings.

1) they have exclusives (not goty's) but still they do.

2) MGS is coming to the 360

3) yea having no blu ray sucks, especially since you cannot play huge games on one disc

4) you can play with friends on both, so your last point isnt really good.

5) yes its more expensive to buy in the end.

to some up, not all your points are good but some are. Id still say that people like the 360 for its unique games and people like the ps3 for its own unique stuff.

Too bad the Shmups are region locked.. and pointlessly too, I'm not going to buy a Japanese 360, even if there are a lot of them.. I don't get the point in region locking anything that is only going to stay in one region.

So if MGS4 gets ported to PC/360 next year then its GOTY exclusive status is void because it was ported years later? Nice to know.

It's called personal preferrence, what's there to understand? Some people prefer the controller, XboxLive whether you think so or not is seen as superior to PSN by alot of people (and for the record I've had more connection problems out of my PS3 than my 360 though neither are bad), if you don't have a gaming PC then the only way you'll play Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, ect... is if you have a 360.

First of all, comparing on system's library to PS3/PC isn't entirely fair. Secondly, Halo 3? Gears 2? Fable 2? Plus, almost all of my friends have a 360, whereas only one or two have PS3s, making online play much better on the 360.

A combination of: 1. Cost and 2. Online Realistically the 360 will cost you more that the the PS3 in the long run(same upfront). I can do without Blu-ray, I still get upscaled DVD's. And personally the online is better on the 360 than the PS3. I've played it and it had more lag than Xbox Live and I don't mind paying $50 a year, that comes out to 4/5 dollars a month, cheaper than WOW monthly. Though PC online is way better(if you have a good rig). And visually the PS3 isn't much difference, though the PC SHINES in that category.(Crysis)

If you get the game it doesn't lower your bandwidth though, so that is a positive.

I don't need to argue with an opinion (and no matter how many "points" you make that's all it is). Like I said it's personal preferrence. And you're not going to bait me into some sort of flame war. An answer like that is bordering on trolling. Not everyone has a gaming PC and if you don't there are alot of games you can only play on the 360, and YOU can't argue with that.

I agree. There are several reasons why a consumer would buy a 360. Great online and a huge gaming library come to mind. I'm sure there are people out there who are interested in playing the Gears of War series, Halo series,Fable series,Forza series,and countless other exclusives. Isn't that why people buy a particular console? I'm not a huge Playstation fan, but I did buy a PS3, simply because of exclusive titles like MGS4 and Killzone, and also Blu ray. There are also a lot of gamers who picked up a 360 at launch , simply because it come out earlier,and now they're hooked.

Yes I have, I owned a stand alone and owned Batman Begins, Dark Knight, both Madagascars and Quantum of Solace. I have an HDMI connection and have my HDTV optimized for theater quality and yet would tell you Dark Knight was the only BD movie worth the format...

I've watched a lot of older movies on Blu-Ray and it seemed to give them a new life, things like The GodFather, Blade Runner, etc, seemed to look quite amazing in Blu-Ray even though they are so old. TDK is actually the only blu-ray I own, but I've seen quite a few.

It's called personal preferrence, what's there to understand? Some people prefer the controller, XboxLive whether you think so or not is seen as superior to PSN by alot of people (and for the record I've had more connection problems out of my PS3 than my 360 though neither are bad), if you don't have a gaming PC then the only way you'll play Gears, Halo, Mass Effect, ect... is if you have a 360.

diamondmaniac12

What? It's called being wrong, what's there to understand? You can't really argue with the points I made.

The problem is that the you don't get why people by a 360. The premise of your post is that you're confused. Sorry... that's not a strong position to start off with. You may want to change that tactic next time around. The truth of the matter is that people are buying the 360 DESPITE the points you made. So either nearly 30 million people are wrong or there's something fundametally wrong with your points.

I tend to think the latter.

To answer your question, I can only speak for myself. The 360 provides a much better sense of community and a more seamless gaming experience where its features are well thought out and thoroughly integrated.
