If you are a gamer - why would you not own a 360?

As far as games go there is a simple difference in present day and the future between 360 and PS3. 360 users love games that dont make you think, that the story is not the intigral part of the game and PS3 owners love games with an intriguing storyline to complement the gameplay. I am getting sick however of these threads that start with a list of games that only include three or four exclusives...

Its insane the amount of good games the 360 is getting. In the past couple months you have 5 AAA games out with another coming next week. (Halo3, AC, COD4, HLOB, Bioshock & Mass Effect next week). No other console is even close to the 360 this gen in terms of games. I just dont get how people can even argue this point. 360 games >>> PS3 or Wii games.

Because you can just get a PC that won't crap itself after a few months and will provide way better grapichs and lot mor stuff to do than just play games.

Best combo: PS3+PC !!

I was actually considering buying a 360 because of Mass Effect. But in the end I think I'll get a PS3 this holiday season.ffx2warrior

I was going to buy a 360 in a few days for Christmas....But right now I am mad at Halo so that may change to a PS3

1. Hardware problems
2. I can play online for free on my PC, why would I pay 50$ to play Gears online?
3. Most of the exclusives will be ported to PC, yes, that will include Mass Effect

2. Good, but overhyped game library that I can play in my PC. (most of them)

3. Over abundance of FPS.

4. I trust Sony much more than MS. Actually, I don't trust MS at all.

I was looking forward to huge team battles...I thought there would have been an upgrade from Halo 2 which I still play often and it was a huge disappointment to find out that they stayed with 16

I had this whole thing in my mind about large team battles and now I find out that if I want that I would have to get RFOM

I may still end up with a 360 just because of mass effect but still I am just upset by it

1.) 3 year warranty + Falcon chipset FTW.

2.) Some games can be played on PC. Many cannot.

3.) You can't have too many of any genre. All you can ask is a solid lineup for the other genres as well. The 360 represents itself well in the RPG, racing, FPS, Fighting, Action, Adventure and Sports genres. The only area its thin on is the platforming genre, which will be shored up soon enough.

4.) Trust on what level? Why would you "trust" one more than the other? All big business companies are the same. You just hope you don't get screwed over.

I Game one my Pc and My PS3 so since all 360 games get ported to the PC there is no need for an 360 and it really doesn't matter how long it takes I'll be busy playing guild wars and the PC port is gonna be better they the 360 version examples Bioshock and gears of war

You seem to think everybody cares about those games.

You know why because they don't have online team battles has large has the Wii or PS3.....18 players is the largest they have compared to 32 on the Wii and 40 on the PS3HarlockJC

However, if you do want a really large FPS battles, you could always try Huxley when it comes out.

So thats not really a decent excuse.

1. Not enough games i like (Action adventure)
2. Dont care about online gaming
3. Too many shooters
4. My cousin has one :P

On the toehr hadn PDZ is garbage and has lost most of its community now in comparison to release. BF ... well ... I'm not going there :lol: 24 ... lol ... anyways.

Also Huxley ... well I dont see why anyone is expecting this game to suceed, it will not .

1. You get a refurbished console which is prone to break faster. I did my research and I saw many cases from people that have sent their systems back over 3 times. Only time will tell if the Falcon fixes the problem. This is the main thing I'm still on the fence. Check the xbox forums and the official xbox hardware forums. It's endemic.

2. You are right but most of the titles that interest me can be played save a few like NG2.

3. The problem is that most of their top titles are FPS. That's probably going to change next year.

4. Sony has delivered over 10 years with the PS brand and they kept supporting the PSP even in difficult times. MS abandoned their xbox fan base and rushed a good, but faulty console and their fanbase is paying the consequences.

Bioshock= First Person Adventure with a gun.

Mass effect= JRPG.

Dead Rising= Survival Horror.

Forza 2= Racing Simulator with more accuracy than GT.

As for PDZ, its MP portion was quite passable.Although Resistance is a much better game online, PDZ is still playable.

But you missed out the main focus of my point.The low player cap is not due to hardware limitations, so its quite safe to say more games will feature more players online in the future.

cause i dont like things breaking on me and i dont like paying for online.humber_matus

ive had mine since launch and it hasnt broken yet. and its 50 bucks for a year, thats less than the price of a game over a span of 12 months. thats 4+ bucks a month. give me a break. oh and its better than PSN.

Why? Because I'm a PC Gamer, therefore 360 is largely irrelevant.

PC/Wii combo for me.

1.) Ok.

2.) Ok.

3.) Both the 360 and PS3 see FPS games among their best. The 360 has substantially more FPS games, but it also has like...10 more games ranked above 9.0 at Gamerankings.

4.) What consequences are MS paying for? The repairing of faulty consoles? That's about it, because sales are good and software sales haven't been this brisk on a console since...well...ever. And they surely have Sony stressed the hell out.

No.

You're getting the PC world and the PS3 world. You're getting very little of the 360 world. The 360 has a helluva lot of games that aren't and won't be on the PC. Naturally, I could list the games that the PC will never see, but your very predictable come-back will be, "buh...I don't like that game...I don't play those kinds of games...blah blah".

So I'll pass on listing them all.

But yea...yea can't appreciate what you've never really had. And if you haven't spent any meaningful time with a 360, I can see why online gaming would be new and somewhat uninteresting to you. But going from the 360 to the Wii is a big, painfull as hell step down when it comes to multiplayer. It's like getting used to veal and suddenly having to eat Boca Burgers.

Wait until you get some real online multiplayer experiences in. You'll never be the same.

I really enjoyed coop campaign in Halo 3, but not so much the versus. Too many people disconnecting and such.

I really really really can't wait for some more coop campaign goodness. Too Human looks good on that front, as do Left for Dead and Borderlands.

Because according to SW lore if you own a PS3 you automatically own a fusion powered liquid nitrogen cooled quad 8800 powered PC that makes doritos and has a beer keg integrated into the case.Riverwolf007

Man i would be all over that model of Ps3.

Come on sony release this version....Hurry I'll finally pay the $600 price tag if you do:lol:

The nerve of some people, granted i'll be purchasing a 360 in about two weeks but I've been putting it off for a while due mainly to hardware woes. I don't care much for review scores, I like to do my own research before making a final conclusion; and there are only 4 games (out now) that I want on the 360. Compare that to 6 PS3 games, 2 Wii games and you can see there isn't a lot that I want out of the generation currently. Compounding the situation is the aformentioned hardware issues that i've been waiting patiently for them to be resolved.

How hard is it for you to comprehend that people are different, even in the gaming community? We don't like the same things all the time. I've yet to game on the PC and that has more quality titles (based on ratings) than the 360, so I guess not investing in that makes me not a gamer either. There's just literally no game on the system that I could see myself going into the store to purchase. I can't help that I have select tastes, nobody can.

It's okay. Not worth the effort, bro. If you've owned a 360, you already know your list is very short. If you'd like me to list some games, I have a rather extensive list (300 or so) that I can copy and paste into the thread. I don't think that's really necessary. You just need to know that passing off the statement "...just because it has 2 games that arent on pc..." won't float around here. We're not ignorant...and knowing you aren't now, it looks even worse.

Party on.
