NielsNL

So if the games areguement will be invalid within a couple monthes then that means it is valid now? Which would mean how can anyone including the TC think that the 360 is so much better?

Hypothetically speaking if the games arguement is valid now. What is hypothetically going to change it within a couple of monthes?

[QUOTE="NielsNL"]

Have YOU any experience with WiFi? On a PS3 that is? I do, I have mine connected to the net trough WiFi since I got it at EU launch in march. I never had any lag issues so your point is invalid.

And if you read my point about Bluray I'm adimitting it's unclear whether Bluray will be essential to gaming or not. How does the fact that FF13 comes in 2009 (according to you) in any way makes it invalid as an example of a game of which the devs say it couldn't be done w/o BR? Because that's all I'm saying about it.

TheSystemLord1

My point is not invalid because you are 1 person, truth is WiFi gaming has far more instances of lag than hardwire gaming...a method which I'm sure anybody in their right mind would prefer.

Final Fantasy 13...we know nothing about it. Nothing at all. A few CGI screens, 1 or two gameplay screens, we know that the White Engine is in major trouble, and that its been turned into a multi-platform engine.

There was that interview in Dengeki PS3, but come on now...that flat out bled "fake". So we can't say anything about Blu-Ray being needed for it.

So here you're saying that anyone not agreeing with you on this must not be in his right mind? You're that kind of person? Very nice! This was my last post directed at you.

Ninja Gaden Sigma isn't a AAAE, There was anofficial poll, and the VAST (and I mean vast) proclaimed it an upgraded NG:B, which it is. Sorry. Oh, and Lair's hype of AA and plummeting to a 4.5 score is worse than ME missing it's score by half a point?

What?

Are you forgetting the savior of the PS3? Factor 5's coup de grace? THE game to justify Blu-Ray, the Sixaxis, and put the PS3 on the map? Supposedly the greatest graphics in the history of gaming? The greatest A.I? The FIRST truly next gen game?

I speak of none other than Lair...

Game of the Century Candidate...

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is not exclusive. How are people not understanding this concept lol. Sure Mass Effect flopped. It had higher expectations that it didn't meet. But bashing on Mass Effect for score is stupid. Seeing as how it did outscore Uncharted. Is Uncharted a bad game? Or is a Flop > Uncharted. Your choice on things.

And that flop is nearly equal in terms of score with the PS3's best-selling game. ;)

Blackbond

So if the games areguement will be invalid within a couple monthes then that means it is valid now? Which would mean how can anyone including the TC think that the 360 is so much better?

Hypothetically speaking if the games arguement is valid now. What is hypothetically going to change it within a couple of monthes?

What will change it? Games of course. I already posted some in this topic (reading is good). Furthermore I think you're able enough to look up yourself what other games are coming to the PS3 in 2008. It's a better lineup than the 360 one. You can argue that but most will agree it's better on the Ps3. Even most realistic lemmings admit it.

I asked you to post the games coming in January aka a few monthes. Maybe I missed it or did you not post it. Most can agree that 2008 will be better on PS3? Most people can't even agree that 360 is the best now which is fact so how are we supposed to know PS3 is going to be the best in 2008? I can't know the future can you? All I know is now and the facts that sit presently infront of me. Nobody can know the future so you might as well stop talking about it until it becomes present.

Hell I could go on a limb and say the Wii will take over and kill everything in 2009. Does that make me right? No. You gotta wait for the games to come out and see how they do. Hope and speculation isn't fact. Big named games have flopped before and will flop again. Underhyped games will score well above their hype and it will happen again. If you're so certain about 2008 then please give me the winning tickets to the lottery.

It has always been the better system, coming with built in wi-fi and BR player alone confirm this. Doesnt make it any more fun to play though, and right now its just not the better games machine.

I don't think anyone is upset or pissed about this guy buying a PS3. It looks to me like people are just finding his reasons for doing so to be hilarious, which, if you read his original post, is understandable. People in their right minds buy a system for games, and he's completely ignoring those.

Didn't you guys get the memo? All the best games are on PS3, at least thats what we were told by Sony at E3 2005. I still watch the E3 2005 five gameplay videos of Lair, Genji, Moble suit Gundam, Armored Core 4, Killzone 2and all the rest of the hyped titles just to remind myself of it's greatness!

I was a total fanboy with my 360 (which I had since launch) but all of my friends with consoles have the PS3 so I just reluctantly traded in my 360 for a PS3 so that I could play online with my friends.

I was totally expecting to be totally dissapointed with the PS3 but happy that I could at least play with people online.

To my suprise, the PS3 is a MUCH BETTER SYSTEM!!!!!

This is for a bunch of reasons:

-Sure the 360 controller is better than the PS3's, but the PS3's is still the basic Dualshock set-up which is incredible (plus a rumble enabled version is coming out next year)! Yeah the R2 and L2 buttons on the PS3 controller are too slippery, but you actually get used to it.

-The PS3's console physically looks much much cooler. I was in denial about this for a while, but really there is no comparison here.

-The single biggest factor is the interface. The PS3's interface is just absolutely incredible - it is incredible clean and logical and pleasing to the eye. The 360's is practical but very cluttered. This applies not only for the homepage, but for the online store! I mean the PS3 online store is like an actual online store that you shop at which is really cool.

-The main versions of each console are the same price ($399) but the PS3 comes with built in wi fi (for the 360 you have to spend an extra $129 for this!).

-The PS3 supports bluetooth headsets which is very cool (but I'll admit that the standard headset thing going with the 360 is better for consistent online chatting in terms of quality and people being able to easily mute their mic easily).

-Can't complain about a built-in Blue Ray player.

So I'm not trying to start a flaming war, I'm just shocked that I actually thought the 360 was better! After trading it in for a Playstation 3, there is really no comparison for me - the PS3 is actually a lot better!

With the PS3 price drop, I would bet my house on the PS3 beating the 360 in sales now!

Jason_A

So, the best thing about PS3 is the ... user interface ?

hahahahahahahaha

So, let;s compare, you will play with your UI, i will play MAss Effect on my 360, the best game ever created, i do not think there is anything MUCH BETTER for PS3 in that

Okay now all of a sudden it must be games coming out in january?

I said I already posted some games in this topic, but since you're too lazy to read back I'll post it again. In 2008 the PS3 will get FF13 (hopefully could be 2009), GT3 and MGS4. Nowthose ip's are quite high in the list of best selling games ever, so it's safe to say it's the opinion of a lot of people that these games are good. Aside from that there are lots of other games coming with a lot of potential, like LBP, KZ2 and possible Haze (although I see that one flop). There are topics on here comparing the lineups, you know that as well as I do and IMO looking at it objectively (whichis difficult at SWW, I know) I think most will agree the PS3's looks better.

But hey everyone is entitled to his opinion and I'm going to eat pizza now so I'll stop discussing in this topic. It was fun!

Fakeboy. No one in their right mind would trade in a $400+ system they loved, for another $400+ systemt they didn't want. If you really wanted us to believe you, you should have said your 360 broke on you, and being fed up with that just decided to get PS3 - than we might have believed you. darkslider99

my thoughts exactly...i love posts that sound just like an advertisement...give me some games, Sony, and then you'll sway my opinion.

What makes a system? Its games, and as of right now the 360's library is vastly superior to the PS3's. This might not be the case next year, but as of right now the 360 is the better system because it consists of better exclusive games.

Fake boy!

Why on earth you would trade in a console with better games for a console thats waiting another 1 year or sofor its big hits and looks pretier... is beyond stupid for it to be true.

sadikovic

As I explained, all of my friends with consoles have a PS3. So I'm stting around with my 360 playing like CofD4 with strangers while all of my friends are playing it together online on their PS3s. We get together the next day and they are all like 'wow that was so fun last night' and I'm totally missing out.

I don't see why it is so hard for people to believe that I would trade in the 360 for a PS3 on this basis.

First you say the Game arguement will be invalid in a couple of monthes. Well its November so a couple of monthes would mean two monthes which would mean January. So now you say "Okay all of a sudden it must be games coming in January?" Hey man you said it not me. I just reply to what you type.

But hey you have psychic powers. You know the PS3 will have better games in the future. Not one of the PS3 games will flop and will all score AAA. How do I know this? Because you told me so. Also the 360will have no good games next year as well.

None of those games you listed come out in January so I fail to see how the games arguement is invalid in a couple of monthes. Wouldn't it be invalid when these games come out?

I should comment on my failure to mention games.

I didn't mention games because most of the big games are on both systems anyway so I don't consider the games issue too relevant. For example, CofD4, GTA IV, Burnout, most sports games, etc.

Yes there are some major exclusives on each system beyond this but let's be reasonable people - there are good exclusives on both sides. Arguing over which system has more of the better exclusives is pointless for my situation (again, if all my friends are playing on the PS3, I'm not going to play by myself with strangers on the 360 because some of its exclusives are better on the 360).

Personally for me though, I actually prefer the PS3 exclusives - mainly because the SOCOM series is one of my favourite game series while the biggest 360 exlusive, Halo, is not that exciting for me (I'm obvoiusly more of a tactical shooter person).

dude games is the major thing and 360 smokes ps3 in that department.....the amount of quality games 360 has is just way too much for ps3......heck 98% of multiplats are even better on 360 so i dont see how ps3 can be a better system and if the type of games you like are on ps3....then why the f did you buy 360?

I was totally expecting to be totally dissapointed with the PS3 but happy that I could at least play with people online.

To my suprise, the PS3 is a MUCH BETTER SYSTEM!!!!!

This is for a bunch of reasons:

-Sure the 360 controller is better than the PS3's, but the PS3's is still the basic Dualshock set-up which is incredible (plus a rumble enabled version is coming out next year)! Yeah the R2 and L2 buttons on the PS3 controller are too slippery, but you actually get used to it.

-The PS3's console physically looks much much cooler. I was in denial about this for a while, but really there is no comparison here.

-The single biggest factor is the interface. The PS3's interface is just absolutely incredible - it is incredible clean and logical and pleasing to the eye. The 360's is practical but very cluttered. This applies not only for the homepage, but for the online store! I mean the PS3 online store is like an actual online store that you shop at which is really cool.

-The main versions of each console are the same price ($399) but the PS3 comes with built in wi fi (for the 360 you have to spend an extra $129 for this!).

-The PS3 supports bluetooth headsets which is very cool (but I'll admit that the standard headset thing going with the 360 is better for consistent online chatting in terms of quality and people being able to easily mute their mic easily).

-Can't complain about a built-in Blue Ray player.

So I'm not trying to start a flaming war, I'm just shocked that I actually thought the 360 was better! After trading it in for a Playstation 3, there is really no comparison for me - the PS3 is actually a lot better!

With the PS3 price drop, I would bet my house on the PS3 beating the 360 in sales now!

I notice you didn't say anything about games.

This is because the PS3 isn't a gaming console, it's a 'super computer.'

I should comment on my failure to mention games.

I didn't mention games because most of the big games are on both systems anyway so I don't consider the games issue too relevant. For example, CofD4, GTA IV, Burnout, most sports games, etc.

Yes there are some major exclusives on each system beyond this but let's be reasonable people - there are good exclusives on both sides. Arguing over which system has more of the better exclusives is pointless for my situation (again, if all my friends are playing on the PS3, I'm not going to play by myself with strangers on the 360 because some of its exclusives are better on the 360).

Personally for me though, I actually prefer the PS3 exclusives - mainly because the SOCOM series is one of my favourite game series while the biggest 360 exlusive, Halo, is not that exciting for me (I'm obvoiusly more of a tactical shooter person).

dude games is the major thing and 360 smokes ps3 in that department.....the amount of quality games 360 has is just way too much for ps3......heck 98% of multiplats are even better on 360 so i dont see how ps3 can be a better system and if the type of games you like are on ps3....then why the f did you buy 360?

Your joking.. 360s best games are multi-plat
Oblivion> Mass Effect
Cod4 or HL2orange box> HAlo 3
NG:S > any action/addevnture game on 360.
VF5>DOA4
i could go on.... 360 fans really can't boast about games. why do it if Multi-plats are better? Sure there AAA but i'd rather play a better game than an AAAE.
for example...

DOA4 scored higher then VF5 and VF5 on 360 scored higher then the ps3 one, Orange box is on 360 and not on the ps3 :( sorry, Halo3 9.5 > 9.0 of course it`s all opinion right ? Oblivion > ME is opinion but who cares when i can have both :),

yeah and all of those multiplats superior on 360 compared to ps3 version which is often delayed and worse....and 360 has PGR3 + 4 and Forza 2 so its the king of racers + plenty more games...so it makes 360 a better console....better multiplats and also has plenty of games that are NOT on ps3....having games on pc and 360 only doesnt mean they are automatically on ps3 as well so you cant say games like Alan Wake dont count coz they are on pc.....the thing is they are NOT on ps3 and this is ps3 vs 360 thread

Edit: Superior COD4 and Orange Box and Halo 3>>>>>Inferior Orange Box yet to be released and COD4
Oblivion + Mass Effect>>>>>Delayed Oblivion
Forza 2, PGR 3 and PGR 4>>>>GT5
10 Superior multiplats + 1 Great exclusive>>>>>>10 inferior multiplats with no good exclusives

360 wins

:|........:lol:

Er-- The XMB is better than the 360 interface...

Only issue is the in game interface, which, if you're smart, doesn't really matter all that much.

I do miss being able to play my own music while I played, but then again, Microsoft broke the windows media sharing thing because they were like "Here, use this program!" I was happy. "Here, use Windows media player and sharing!" I was satisfied. "Here, we're advertising our new Zune, USE THE ZUNE PROGRAM!" I was dissatisfied. "Here, we fail. We won't let you connect no matter how hard you try!" I was angry. I am angry.

I'd be happy to transfer my music into my consoles, but the 360 also makes that a tad more painful than the ps3 >.>

Grr. As soon as we get XMB integrated into games for the PS3(they're working on it), I'll be happy with an in game interface, for once in a long time. Oh, and friends list integration will be nice. The 360's is very, very nice, and useful. Thankfully that can easily be set up by the makers of games by importing your friends list into the game, and going from there.

Har har. The only multiplat that is "truly superior" on the 360 within the last year could be the Orange Box, and that's because the lazy Valve members gave it to EA. And EA ruins nearly everything they touch.

CoD4 is the same on both consoles.

Obilivion is superior on the PS3, that your excuse for "delayed"

Forza 2 sucks, I'm sorry to let you know. You're also forgetting about Burnout, the only great racer on any console.

GTA IV. Well. I'm suspecting the release dates will be about the same now. And microsoft paid big, big bucks for the small exclusive material. Especially considering it's a free range world type of game. Burnout will be awesome on both systems.

Might I add you're forgetting to account for any great ps3 exclusives? If Halo 3 is your definition of a "great exclusive," well then, add Lair to Ps3's great exclusives. They're equally entertaining.

^^Joking. But seriously, add Uncharted, R&C:F, and Heavenly sword, at the least, if you say halo 3 is that "great exclusive." If it's GeoW, then add Uncharted and R&C:F

The Xbox and Gamecube both had better graphics processors than PS2 and XBOX had better hardware all around. The PS2 won out because of games. Sony forgot that and brought us a loaded system with a bunch of bells and whistles most of us don't want to pay for. Just bring on the games. God of War 3 and shadow of the colossus 2 and I will start looking at the PS3. I play the games not the system.

But in the end I think it will be 1 the Wii. 2. Xbox360 and 3. PS3.

Yeah, in all honesty, so do I, in the gaming aspect. I prefer the PS3's from a technical standpoint. It lets you do a helluva lot more with the system than on the 360... I was just stating that it has more potential than the 360's. It's all up to see if sony can dig in to that potential.
