So all I owned before was sony consoles. PS1, PS2, and when next generation hit, I did not see any reason not to go with the PS3. I loved GT and still do. I thought the PS3 has great value and did not even consider an xbox 360. I bought my PS3 in Jan/07 few months after launch, played Resistance, MotorStorm, older PS2 games..etc. I always defended the PS3. I never thought anything but greatness of it, but after over 2 years of owning the system, I honestly can't think of anything that it can offer me personally as I don't watch many movies at all, and all I wanted the system for was to truly play games.

I realized all this after having bought a 360 and owned it for just over a year now (since Feb/08). One of my favorite genres is FPS games and the 360 has the best of them. not only that, but the controller is amazing. I had never thought that it mattered that much, even when xbox 360 fanboys ranted about how great their controller was before I owned the console, but it's true. For FPS games, the 360's controller is amazing. I noticed this when I owned COD4 on both systems. when I jumped from the 360 to the PS3 to play COD4, it was awkward. The reason is simple, the analog sticks on the six axis are too big, too high, and don't curve down on the top to place your finger tightly. the 360's controller enables more precise movement while the six axis enables faster, more sluggish movement. I have about 7 other friends that own both systems and all think the 360's controller is superior for FPS games. I played KillZone 2's demo and I am hating the game because of the controller and therefore will not pick it up for this reason. I want to play it, but I won't enjoy it. (I honestly don't like the control scheme in general as I find it hard to press on R3 to aim down your sight. Changing the scheme made it even worse. Why didn't they make the control scheme like Gears? I don't want to hold L2 for cover constantly! it just isn't comfortable!) Why doesn't Sony listen and make a better controller? offer a second choice for those of us who complain about the controller constantly.

so now, I own all of my FPS games on the 360 and will not buy any ones on the PS3. Also, achievements on the 360 was a brilliant idea by Microsoft. I can't even tell you how many times I've gone back to play the games just to earn achievement. I bought FIFA 09 on the PS3 this year only to play it a few times. it's a great game, but I don't find any logical reason to start a lengthy season when I won't see any trophies for beating it.

Also Sony lied their butt off. KillZone 2, GT5, LBP, and many other games were supposed to be released by March of last year. Look at what we have now. GT5 is no where to be found. KillZone 2 is just being released. I can write a long artice on this.....

bottom line is that I have flipped completely to an xbox 360 fan (not fanboy). I completely see why it's a great and valuable for many gamers. I love Live and don't mind paying for it. the controller is amazing and every game has achievements with it. the games on both consoles are comparable, but Sony will not get my money for many games. Microsoft is not pefect, but it surely is better than Sony...

Huh. I was pretty much the opposite. I had an Xbox last gen and now I'm a PS3 guy, I don't really know why.

I will agree that the 360 controller is infinitely better thanthe Dualshock 3, though. And my hands aren't even that big...

Its the Sony arrogance and lies that got to me, not to mention forcing me to buy into a movie format that I don't care about. Oh and the insults toward their fans. They basically said that the PS2 fans were stupid and would buy anything that said Playstation on it and they were kinda right. No other system would still be alive after the pricetag and the broken promises. I used to be a huge Sony supporter until this generation.

forcing you to buy a blue ray player what are you 5 years old no one forces you to buy anything the PS3 is commercialised as a videogame system and that's exactly what it offers the blue ray is an added bonus if you don't want to buy a PS3 with a blue ray don't buy it, simple as that sony already has 21 million customers you can stick with the xbox and play halo wars.

Try playing the Killzone 2 Demo again, but go to controls and change the controls to Alternative 2. That's your standard FPS controls, and you may like that better. Have fun with your 360, the controls might be a little better but the exclusives on the Playstations side are just worth it imo.

Try reading my sig, I have a PS3, in case that escaped your attention. Blu-ray was not a bonus it was a trojan horse that you paid extra for to help Sony win a format war. It might be an asset later on but, thats not what Sony had in mind when they included it. Oh, and I am older than you by quite a bit, kiddo!

yes you have a PS3 and nobody forced you to purchase it you took out the money out of your own pockets (or your mom bought it for you) and contiously payed for the system knowing it's a gaming console and has a blue ray player included.

so now blue ray is a trojan horse oh no how can I be enjoying "Batman The Dark Knight" and "Rambo first blood" on the best format around I wasn't aware it was a trojan horse damn you sony for giving me this great movie format :(

yea you older than me alright ;)

I did. it made it worse. with that I have to hold L2 to take cover and press L1 to aim from cover!.... retarded indeed. if they made it exactly like Gears where you would press just one button once to take cover and then press it again to leave cover, it would have been so much better. who wants to hold a button constantly to stay in cover? I think it's retarded. Not to mention how hard it is to aim. the whole control scheme is slugghish IMO. I do like the physics of the game as it does seem natural the way the character runs, jump..etc, but the heart of the game is not right....

I believe it's sluggish because in real life, no one does a 180 in 2 seconds while maintaining perfect aim.

OK, I will go first, I am 34 and have 2 ex wives and 4 kids. Beat that little guy. Sony did not "give" you Blu-ray, you paid for it. And yes, it is a trojan horse. A little critical thinking would show you that. Oh well, they say ignorance is bliss...lol!

I was... I mean I am still a HUGE Nintendo fanboy but I hated everything they've ever done. They are destroying true gaming. I can't help but feel how glorious gaming would be right now if that damned Nintendo never existed in the first place.

And as a Playstation hater, I have to admit that Sony is the savior of gaming. They have been doing an amazing job ever since the first PlayStation and are not only advancing gaming, but saving it. Everything they've been doing is just pure perfection that have advanced gaming to the levels of the godfather and citizen kane. God bless Sony.

I sense fanboy....maybe its the killzone 2 pic or the way you said "You can stick with the Xbox and play Halo Wars." But its all about sales bro and the 360 has better sales than the ps3 a better controller. Better multiplayer. A better dashboard. You would be surprised at how many people use the netflix thing to watch movies. And more exclusive dlc. Better exclusive games. And by games i mean games not interactive movies >=( yeah i played mgs4 that was a movie with some game elements thrown in.

Sony was not arrogant, Nintendo was. Sony knows what's best for you so zip it. And at the time ps3 was the cheapest and the best blu-ray player so it's no doubt millions of people will buy it even it doesn't have games. That's a FACT.

Yeah, I mean, no one could doubt what Sony has done for gaming. they built some amazing machines, no doubt, and I was a huge fan, but the PS3 is just not impressive or the 360 at least makes it not seem that way. I believe Sony is still in the game and could still easily come back. First step is to design a better controller, at least as a second choice for gamers (that alone would make me happy). Second, stop with the lying and give more accurate release dates, and on and on...

you win with the age im a couple years behind the reason you sound like a little kid is basically your blaming sony for your decisions.

first off when sony first came out it mentioned it was a console with a blue ray player included you I suppose knew about that. If you are not a blue ray fan you should have said "wait, I don't want this " but you decided to go and purchase the console knowing what's included.

sony did not put a gun to your head and forced you to buy the PS3 with the added blue ray

Just like I went to the store knew that I was purchasing a blue ray player as well as a game system when I went to gamestop and purchased the PS3(btw I couldn't be happier)

ok so what makes blue ray a trojan horse ? please explain is it a virus that breaks your PS3 ? do the movies look bad ?

blue ray is a movie player you can go and buy blue ray movies or dvd movies and place it on the PS3 and play it what about that is a trojan horse LOL

all I see you doing is hating, complaining and blaming.

forcing you to buy a blue ray player what are you 5 years old no one forces you to buy anything the PS3 is commercialised as a videogame system and that's exactly what it offers the blue ray is an added bonus if you don't want to buy a PS3 with a blue ray don't buy it, simple as that sony already has 21 million customers you can stick with the xbox and play halo wars.

I sense fanboy....maybe its the killzone 2 pic or the way you said "You can stick with the Xbox and play Halo Wars." But its all about sales bro and the 360 has better sales than the ps3 a better controller. Better multiplayer. A better dashboard. You would be surprised at how many people use the netflix thing to watch movies. And more exclusive dlc. Better exclusive games. And by games i mean games not interactive movies >=( yeah i played mgs4 that was a movie with some game elements thrown in.

I am not a fanboy but i wonder y MGS4 got a 10 out of 10 then?

I was... I mean I am still a HUGE Nintendo fanboy but I hated everything they've ever done. They are destroying true gaming. I can't help but feel how glorious gaming would be right now if that damned Nintendo never existed in the first place.

And as a Playstation hater, I have to admit that Sony is the savior of gaming. They have been doing an amazing job ever since the first PlayStation and are not only advancing gaming, but saving it. Everything they've been doing is just pure perfection that have advanced gaming to the levels of the godfather and citizen kane. God bless Sony.

Yeah, I mean, no one could doubt what Sony has done for gaming. they built some amazing machines, no doubt, and I was a huge fan, but the PS3 is just not impressive or the 360 at least makes it not seem that way. I believe Sony is still in the game and could still easily come back. First step is to design a better controller, at least as a second choice for gamers (that alone would make me happy). Second, stop with the lying and give more accurate release dates, and on and on...

Thank u! We need more responses like this, instead of whining

OK, I will go first, I am 34 and have 2 ex wives and 4 kids. Beat that little guy. Sony did not "give" you Blu-ray, you paid for it. And yes, it is a trojan horse. A little critical thinking would show you that. Oh well, they say ignorance is bliss...lol

you win with the age im a couple years behind the reason you sound like a little kid is basically your blaming sony for your decisions.

first off when sony first came out it mentioned it was a console with a blue ray player included you I suppose knew about that. If you are not a blue ray fan you should have said "wait, I don't want this " but you decided to go and purchase the console knowing what's included.

sony did not put a gun to your head and forced you to buy the PS3 with the added blue ray

Just like I went to the store knew that I was purchasing a blue ray player as well as a game system when I went to gamestop and purchased the PS3(btw I couldn't be happier)

ok so what makes blue ray a trojan horse ? please explain is it a virus that breaks your PS3 ? do the movies look bad ?

blue ray is a movie player you can go and buy blue ray movies or dvd movies and place it on the PS3 and play it what about that is a trojan horse LOL

all I see you doing is hating, complaining and blaming.

jeezers

Your the biggest Xbox hater on these forums tek, if anyone needs be accused of hating, its you.

I don't hate the xbox I just feel the PS3 is superior and challenge anyone who hates on PS3.

I think the xbox got some good games Braid, Left4Dead, Halo 3 ( I don't like Gears) but not enough interesting and not enough variety so when someone says xbox is better it's like saying Picasso can't draw or Mozart sucks at music.

Ya i love Nintendo also, they hav gone down hill since N64 IMO, gamecube was alright, it had good games like Luigis mansion and WInd Waker and thts it, then wii came out and ya its ok but i get tired of moving all the time when i just wanna relax and play a game.

Back on topic: ya i agree Xbox has better controller, tho it needs to be a charged one at first instead of batteries. And ya the Blu ray player was just an extra thing to add in to make better picture. Wats all this talk about tht? Ya maybe u cant really see the difference between Xbox and PS3 games but i sure do love wattchin movies on a Blu ray player tht i got for cheap with my gaming console.

Do you know what a trojan horse is? Serious question, a lot of people don't really know. It is basically forcing you to get something you may not want to get something else. In this case, it is having to buy into Blu-ray to play PS3 games. I do not care about Blu-ray, its not bad a thing but, I did not have a choice in the matter. I am not blaming Son for my decision, I am not happy with the fact that I had to pay extra money for something that I did not want in order to play the new Playstation games. I am not hating or blaming, just a little complaining...lol.

I sense fanboy....maybe its the killzone 2 pic or the way you said "You can stick with the Xbox and play Halo Wars." But its all about sales bro and the 360 has better sales than the ps3 a better controller. Better multiplayer. A better dashboard. You would be surprised at how many people use the netflix thing to watch movies. And more exclusive dlc. Better exclusive games. And by games i mean games not interactive movies >=( yeah i played mgs4 that was a movie with some game elements thrown in.

If it's all about salez why don't you buy a wii and sell your 360 ?

I like the PS3 controller better

the xbox multiplayer you have to pay and everyone who has both xbox and PS3 says it's basically the same minor difference, you guys just say it's better to validate paying.

everyone also says the PS3 looks way better by a long shot

and Blue Ray is much better than HDDVD which is basically garbage now it lost the format wars.

you got the dlc ;)

better exclusive games I would agree with you in 2006/2007 not anymore

You think MGS4 is a movie well why don't you go to every gaming site and try to explain to them that it's a movie and not a game, because it got voted GOTY and it got AAAAE, AAAE in almost every gaming site not to mention numerous awards.

Dont even try to make a valid point tek, we all know your a hardcore ps3 fan , that refuses to ever buy a 360 and try it. Your trying way to hard to make ps3 better than 360. seriously everytime i come on here your praising ps3 and never playing it. Is bashing 360 and praising 360 your part time job. just askin

True, true, but if u minus the fact tht Xbox makes u pay for online. Also if u add up costs b/w an xbox and a PS3, u get more in a ps3, ya a ps3 costs more, but an xbox doesnt coming with charging controllers, built in wifi and things like tht. I like the idea of a console coming w/ a headset tho, this creates more fun online. And ya Xbox has a better controller but u cant charge it (buy extra accessory). And on to games: Xbox has great exclusives like Braid, Halo 3, Gears of war, Fable, and games like tht, but i like PS3s variety of games like LBP Uncharted and just not constant FPSs. And ya Xbox used to dominate in exclusives right when PS3 came out and no one gave it time because Xbox had already been out for a year so it wasnt fair how ppl were constantly saying the PS3 had no games.

Good job naming little flops... there are some great exclusives on BOTH systems: PS3: Ratchet and CLank, GOW, Motorstorm, LBP, MGS4, Uncharted, resistance. Xbox: Halo, Gears, Fable, BRAID (i love tht game)

Try reading my sig, I have a PS3, in case that escaped your attention. Blu-ray was not a bonus it was a trojan horse that you paid extra for to help Sony win a format war. It might be an asset later on but, thats not what Sony had in mind when they included it. Oh, and I am older than you by quite a bit, kiddo!

by buying a ps3 u didnt help sony win the format war. u had to buy blu ray movies to do that

First off TC show links to Sony announcing KZ2, gt5 and the other games you mentioned that had a release date of March of 08.

2nd TC Sony didn't force you to buy a ps3, and you knew a bluray player was built in.

3rd TC it took you a year after having a 360 to make a topic about this? And since fps is your thing, let me know what games you getting for the 360 anytime soon.

The ps3 is in a whole different league than the 360 for its build quality, and reliablity so in the price you are not just paying for a bluray player but also for a quality console. That has a huge amount of customization, open network to allow a Internet browser, and device friendly that allows you to hook up a logitech pc steering wheel to it aswell as a keyboard and mouse.

TC where was the optical audio input located at on the 360's mother board? If you answer that truthfully then that will definitly show you just how cheaply made the 360 is.

The controller on the 360 is not that great, I mean granted to some it may feel better but for you and others to claim its the next best thing to slice bread is just crazy. Not only that but you coming from ps1, ps2 and ps3 tells me right there that the ps3 controller isn't that bad or else you wouldn't have made it past the ps1, so just say its preference. Cause to me the 360 sticks suck, when I push up on them my finger is pressing on a edge cause of the concave stick, where as on the DS its rounded and my finger relaxes on a actuall nice resting spot and not cutting into my finger. The L1 and R1 buttons are hard to reach on the 360 controller, you have to actually think about reaching over the little lip to get to them. Where as on the DS controller both the L1 and L2 buttons are very accesable. So once again just mark it as preference and not a fact for which controller is better.

And for someone that posted about what has wifi, bluetooth and bluray done for gaming.

Wifi= Options, play in anyroom in my house if need be, don't have to worry about sharing internet with my wife and her computer lol.

bluetooth= less chance of frequency issues, since most things in a house hold has IR, dvd players, tv's, cable boxes, remote controls

Bluray= Uncompressed graphics, uncompressed audio (which shines on the ps3) scratch resistant disks.

Anyway TC really a whole year to make a thread like this or are you just making these on a weekly basis lol. And yes I had a 360 for like a week and didn't like gears and there really isn't anything else on the system I would ever want so it got returned. Except maybe Huxley which I think has been scratched for the 360, or maybe Alan Wake and either one of those I can play on my pc :)

1. holy crap, everyone who owned a PS3 from around the time of launch was looking for games to play! we were so desparate for games and always checked PS3.ign.com for release dates to see when games are coming out. Yes, GT5, KillZone 2 and LBP were all promised to be delivered early 08. I don't have the link because, well, that information is old and does not exist anymore, but everyone knows it especially the ones that owned the PS3 that long.

2.I dont' mind Blu-ray. I was excited about it, but I am not a big movie enthusiast. I am not complaining about it though.

3. I guess it didn't take me that long, but after playing KillZone 2's demo, I really started hating my PS3, and that's what made me want to share my opinion of the system. As far as FPS, I am still playing the ones from Christmas and will still play those for a long time. Heck, I dont' even own a lot of them. I want to go back and play some of the ones I missed. Plus my favorite FPS game is COD which lasts me a great a while since I play online quite a bit. I am still actually playing COD4 and some CODwaw.

4. the concave stick is what enables me to aim more precisely. plus, it's shorter and has more resistance to it which also helps. The six axis is plain sluggish at best and aiming to hit a person in KZ is awkward. I agree that L1 R1 are eaiser to access on the PS3, but the triggers are very bad.

5. I agree, the PS3 has more value and I even said that in my original post. I don't care for all of those though. I enjoy gaming, and it's better on the 360. sure the PS3 has more and better features OOB, but it does not matter.
