I'd highly recommend not trading in your PS3 just yet. There's a ton of exclusives due out this year and early next, including Haze, MGS4, Socom, KillZone 2, Resistance 2, Final Fantasy, LBP, God of War III, and I know I'm missing some. That's quite an impressive lineup.I_OU_aBeatnImpressive in theory and fopr you. I ddin't own PS2 predessors of those games so U can't see what you see. But from what I do see, whenever PS3 games do come out they're slow anbd the graphics are nbot as good as on other consoles.
Based on what? I'll use GTA IV as my example. Every single gaming site I read reviews on said the game looked almost exactly the same on both systems, and a few even gave a very slight advantage to the PS3. Same with COD4.
If you've played Resistance, or the Haze demo, then you'd realize that they do not run slow or have bad graphics by any stretch of the imagination. I played the Haze demo last night, and it looks and plays GREAT.

Apart from, that has nothing to do with the console. It's more to do with the developer and how they handled the console. I'm sure those are pretty much the big guns of Sony's arsenal so I'm sure they'd be pretty good.
What about people who bought a PS3 because everyone said it was the best? I heard commentaors say the PS3 was the most powerful console ever made. I didn't have many PS2 games so my interest wad based only on rumors,[QUOTE="edwise18"]You have finally seen the light. Get a 360. You wont regret it. You got a bunch of great games that'll arrive later this year. Unlike having to go through constant delays and set backs and promises "they" cant keep.station124
R U trying to tell me I was duped?
Well yeah in some ways yes. All that power talk was just hype nothing more. Both systems are about equal in power.The cell processor is not the supercomputer that sony wants you to believe it is.
And right now the 360 has the most important part. The games of course. Which ever console's games you like best is really up to you. But the majority of people agree the 360 has the best library of games and the most veriaty as in there is something for everyone. I mean it has more RPG's than ps3! That alone gives you an idea of the great selection of games it offers and that it's not just good for FPS's. That's what made my decision to buy a 360. Just more games that appealed to me. While ps3 basically has no games that I want. I'v never been bias when it comes to consoles as I own 2 nintendo consoles a ps1 and also used to game on pc. The decision to buy a 360 just came down to the games nothing more nothing less. Also go look at 360 game scores compared to ps3 game scores. The vast majority of 360 games are rated higher. The ps3 maybe a decent system but the 360 has it beat in just the shear amount of great games that it offers.
Based on my own eyes.Based on what? I'll use GTA IV as my example. Every single gaming site I read reviews on said the game looked almost exactly the same on both systems, and a few even gave a very slight advantage to the PS3. Same with COD4.

Does this have to do with RAM or something. I keep hearing the PS3 is weak in RAM or something compared to the 360.Anyway now I am thinking of gettiong some 360 games.
So I'm supposed to trust your eyes over the eyes of numerous professional gaming reviews and my own personal experience?I_OU_aBeatnNo. U don't have to, but I will.
I keep hearing the PS3 is weak in RAM or something compared to the 360.
station124
It is. If I'm not mistaken, PS3 has something like half the RAM 360 does. I could be wrong, though.

I think it has the same amount of ram but th3 360's chip can use all of the 360 ram, whereas the PS3s can only see half the RAM at any time.

Yes, because I absolutely love when a company rushes and unfinished game out :roll:
DELAYS ARE NOT A BAD THING! (atleast most of the time)
Yes you have to wait longer, but more times than not the game benefits for this. There are still a half a dozen games coming out this fall that I am going to want to pick up so I really don't mind them pushing it back so it gives me something to play in the spring when their is usually nothing being released during that time.
Stop crying about waiting.
Don't worry, I think he's a fake anyway. Who would be throwing away a PS3 when it has more coming sooner??? Having both systems: awesome. But you know how many games I'm looking forward to on my 360 this year... only 2: Fable 2 & Gears 2. I think Alan Wake should be cool too actually... just waiting to see some actual gameplay. Anyway, point is that either way you just end up waiting:?. In the meantime you have Haze, MGS4, & Wipeout HD all in the next month on the PS3! By all means get a 360 too if you're looking forward to some of its games... but your reasoning just doesn't make much sense. Home & KZ2 are the only things that've been delayed and if those were enough to dissapoint you then HA, not sure why you own a PS3 in the first place... plenty of other great gaming to enjoy this year.

Thanks for the correction. The site I was using had some wrong information, and I was too lazy to confirm it.

Wait until E3 in July. There will be plenty of surprises, just as always.AmyMizunoPlenty of surprises for who? Sony? Dont make me laugh. Pretty much everything they will talk about will be games they talked about last E3 because of all the delays. They will say again how great Home is, LBP, KZ2,MGS4 and others. Maybe they should stop talking and release the games instead of all the tons of delays.

Is that why the PS3 lags so much?Dude, You cannot go wrong with the 360. Even though the 360 has RROD problems (never experienced them myself). If you haven't experienced the 360 yet. You will be occupied with the 100+ demos to download for about the next 3 months before you even start gaming. Right now is the best time to get it. Most great games are cheap now, with more to come. You will definately spend more time on the 360 just because you have alot of catching up to do just on the games. GET IT NOW is what I say.
Hope this helps.

Can you please elaborate on what games you've experienced this "lag"? I've played all the major games for PS3, and I'm interested to see which games you've experienced lag on.

Uncharted seems to lag to me and the screen has glitches on it. It's like when you move quickly and the screen tries to scroll, strips of graphics are slower than others. I can't explain it, It just as though the screen is too slow to update at the same timne.GTA IV as well and it keeps chrashing.

GTA IV has absolutely no issues on PS3 with slow rendering or crashing. I've played this game a crapload and it hasn't crashed on me once, and I see very, very few graphic issues. The ones I do see have nothing to do with the PS3 itself, but the development of the game, and are so small that you can barely notice them unless you high def and are actually looking for errors.

No, you weren't reading properly. I said nothing about Uncharted, beacause I haven't played it. My entire post was about GTA IV. As you can see, I did not once mention Uncharted in my post.I_OU_aBeatnOk. My mistake.

He read and quoted you correctly... he didn't say anything about Uncharted. And GTA IV no longer crashes, it was patched.
As for Uncharted, not sure what type of issue you are having it b/c it does not happen on my t.v. There are 2 or 3 places in the game that have graphical glitches, but that's it. It is otherwise pretty flawless.

I think it's human nature for people to take a side, it's funny though, because this gen. all the consoles are awesome, that's why you see so many confused people like the OP, he just doesn't know who to be a fanboy for! (no offense TC) lol
This gen. has created more manticores than any other methinks.

I'm right there with ya...
Now you know what I am doing instead of playing GTA4? Everything BUT playing GTA4. Gotta love cheap and tacky, but I'd rather steal one than buy another 360. As far as I am concerned I paid for a 360, and I am not going to pay them more so I can have the privilege of using it.

even if u buy x360 you still have to wait for games being released
Thats the way to do it! It sucks sticking to just one system.Get a 360 and keep both.

jasonharris48
exactly.
but what i will say is this, the reason for the KZ2 delay is that at the moment having 2 of sonys bif FPS games (R2 and KZ2) launch at around the same time would mean both would see lower sales. So sony decided to push back KZ2, I guess this also means more development time too.
Personally I am pleased with what sony has done so far, there is no shortage of good games coming out this year, if there wer, then I would be annoyed by the delay.
My advice, get a 360, keep the ps3, honestly, I have seen your posts, and when MGS4 and KZ2 DO come out you will feel so stupid for ditching the ps3.
I'm glad alot of people are opening their eyes and seeing that 360 is a great choice for a gaming console. Despite what other say.
Truth_Hurts_U
oh god, you make it seem like its some sort of enlightenment. your post makes me laugh!
anyway, your wrong, its called opinion, the best opinion this gen sems to be GET BOTH AND ENJOY ALL EXCLUSIVES.
you are just probably feeling annoyed with the delay, but looking at how good KZ2 looks I am fie with a few months of delay. Sounds silly but I was annoyed that all these games were going t come out in such a short time frame! but yeah, give it a whie, dont do anyting stupid. and if you still feel that way, get a 360 as well.
those saying the 360 is the smart choice are fanboys, both is best, but IMO this year and next the ps3 does have the edge.

That is why most of the "smart" people around here say to buy games you like, not a console.

:lol: epic lulz :lol:
The ps3 is trash, multi console owners know this.
Actually, that's the sad thing. The PS3 is not trash. It's a much better piece of hardware than the 360, but Sony's decisions, that led to a less than average library at the moment, is what holds it back.
I am no fanboy(except a small fondness to Nintendo games) and I want to see all consoles do well. Hell, I own them all.
It's kinda like the time when you hit puberty, you don't really know exactly what's going on and you're kinda scared of the unknown, but just go for it, it'll be fine. Owning all is better than owning one or two.
