Just traded in my 360 for a PS3, and wholly crap the PS3 is MUCH BETTER!

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!

Your reason for a "MUCH BETTER" system are weak and half of them are contradictions like the headset one. First off I can understand getting a console that all your friends have so you can all play together, but you speak as if the 360 was no where near the PS3 in terms of quality but fail to impress with your reasonings. I could tell you that Blu-Ray will be and never will be a reason to own a videogame console so I could debate and complain about a "free" (cough FORCED cough) Blu-Ray format all day. Second the wifi for the 360 is NOT $129 dollars. Regularly it's $99 but ANYONE can find it for less even at $50. Besides wifi is NOT a necessity for online gaming and MOST gamers I know don't even use it. Not to mention you say the PSN store is like a "store" ok, but how is that any worth an improvement over the Marketplace? Everything in the Marketplace is CLEARLY mapped out and categorized for easy access. Hell you can even just pick an option to see what's new to download for only the games you own! You say the Marketplace is cluttered and my only response to that is that it's because LIVE offers about 100 times more content then the PSN store does so there ya go. You also mention PS3 looks better well if you like looking at over-sized black machinery then I see your point but it's no eye candy. I'm not saying 360 is either but in my opinion it's ALOT easier on my eyes (And my arms when I have to move it) then the PS3 will ever be. Sony was never one for making pretty consoles except for the PS2 slim. While youmight enjoy a handful of average exclusive titles and MANY MANY MANY ports and multiplat games on your new PS3 again I say your justification of proclaiming the PS3 as a "better system" is flawed and fails to impress or tempt me to buy a PS3.

The TC is just a Sony Mole trying to pass on propaganda designed to brainwash the masses.

I own both and have the eact opposite opinion. I hate theXMB, and prefer the 360's blades.snyper1982

Agreed. I hate that ****** XMB. Eversince I first saw it on PSP.

Sucks hard!

WhenI saw they implemented it into the PS3 Iknew I wasn't going to get one.

Wrong some people are tired of the repair cycle of the 360. My friend 'kratosfury' traded in his boxafter it died for the second time and got a ps3 'ghosthound2' and traded in every 360 item he had and got a 40g, warrenty, a few games 2 controllers a some movies. so please never say NO ONE would do anything because you do not know all 6 billion people on the face of the planet.

Well some people are just stupid. Getting screwed with faulty hardware is one thing, but just getting screwed is another. PS3 is overrated and not even worth the plastic they use to build it.

Or you people could just enjoy both consoles instead of this immature crap over which is better. Or is that too hard for you NielsNL flatline711

But how can you enjoy both when the PS3 sucks so bad?

Hmmm....maybe Im strange for buying a VIDEO GAME console to play GAMES and not watch blue-ray movies

hence the statement immature crap. It is called choice. People can enjoy anything they want. Everybody is not going to enjoy the same things and to shoot down someone and say they are stupid just because YOU do not like something is childish

-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. I'D RATHER HAVE A FINGERPRINT MAGNET THAT LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS IN DARTH VADER'S RUMPUS ROOM THAN ONE WITH CUSTOMIZABLE FACEPLATES.

ALSO, IF I ADD $30 TO THE PRICE OF THE 360'S WIRELESS ADAPTER IN MY LIST, PEOPLE WILL RESPECT ME.

-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). IT'S ALSO TOTALLY RAD THAT ALMOST NOBODY ON PSN USES A HEADSET BECAUSE SONY FORGOT TO BUNDLE ONE WITH THE CONSOLE! AND DON'T FORGET HOW AWESOME IT IS THAT MY EXPENSIVE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROLL WONT WORK WITH BLUE TOOTH! LOOKS LIKE I'LL JUST HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF SONY EQUIPMENT!

-Can't complain about a built-in Blue Ray player, BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS BABY, ALL I'D BE ABLE TO DO IS PLAY THE LARGELY UNDERWHELMING HANDFUL OF EXCLUSIVE GAMES.

you did what??? man i know it was your choice but why the hell did you do that?

did you even really have one to begin with?

congrats, tc....!!!

glad you like the ps3... unfortunately you're in the vast minority...;)

Playstation 3 is probably without a doubt the best consoleAdrian_Cloud

so you had to trade in your 360 just to get a ps3? :?

why cant you just have both?

oh! thats right! you're cheap..:|

enjoy your ps3,i guess..maybe when you get bored with it you can trade it in for a Wii or an expensive toaster.:roll:

I always told people that 360 was totally about the NOW (it's beginning to become the YESTERDAY) and PS3 all about the TOMORROW.

and guess what? the tomorrow is already coming.

no one can say that the PS3 has no games.

i play mine a lot, just bought 2 games and am going to buy one more probably next week or the other.

That's enough for 2008 to come and buy Killzone 2, Metal Gear 4, Gran Turismo 5, etc, etc.

Also, within one year on the market the PS3 already achieved and arguably surpassed 360's graphical quality (Uncharted, and Lair gfx-wise).

I am 27 and how does saying the console sucks make me a child when in my eyes it does? You mean to tell me you sit there and recite Shakespeare while trying to retort to people on a message forum? I was using plain English. If it was the only offering for a next gen console or a console then it would be acceptable, but when you have cows running around 24/7 playing Nostradamus and predict the outcome of the system wars by proclaiming the PS3 will "rise from the grave and take back what once was rightfully there's, how DARE any pretender try to claim the throne with the return of the king". Well someone's gotta tell it like it is.

Simple fact is Sony is no longer the king of the block and the 360 is just as capable of being the "IT" console with or without force-feed useless crap like Blu-Ray.

Notice the only thing he doesnt talk about, the GAMES!, thats what matters, and what he does talk about is just an opinion that can be argued over greatly

This games argument will be invalid within a couple of months. What will you come up with then, when the PS3 has the better hardware (don't even try to argue about this) AND the better games?

uh first off it seems that all ps3 fans can do is talk about how great their games are GOING to be in the future but consistently the games they say will be so great are not triple A. OMG how you people were talking loud about LAIR and that was like a 4.5? I will argue the hardware as a matter of fact. I will argue that the PS3 has a max video memmory of 256mb where 360 can get in the neighborhood of 512mb. That is nearly twice the video memmory and in terms of graphics that makes a big deal. That's why the PS3 has been out a year and still is nowhere near having a game that looks as good as Gears of War. In the meantime 360 is consistently cranking out Triple A, it costs less, it has far better online, it has achievements and many good games from PS3 continue to make it to 360 which makes it completely pointless for someone to own a PS3.

By the time you guys are done crying about not getting Mass Effect it will be time for the exclusive Ninja Gaiden 2 to come out.

OMG how you people were talking loud about LAIR and that was like a 4.5? I will argue the hardware as a matter of fact. I will argue that the PS3 has a max video memmory of 256mb where 360 can get in the neighborhood of 512mb. That is nearly twice the video memmory and in terms of graphics that makes a big deal. That's why the PS3 has been out a year and still is nowhere near having a game that looks as good as Gears of War. In the meantime 360 is consistently cranking out Triple A, it costs less, it has far better online, it has achievements and many good games from PS3 continue to make it to 360 which makes it completely pointless for someone to own a PS3.

By the time you guys are done crying about not getting Mass Effect it will be time for the exclusive Ninja Gaiden 2 to come out.

which means 360's CPU uses in the neighborhood of 0mb?

technically yeah. the beauty of it is that the 360 is flexible so that if the cpu does not need as much the extra memmory goes to video and vice versa. far more potential with this system then with ps3's capped 256 mb.

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. SO REALLY THIS ISN'T ACTUALLY A POSITVE BULLET POINT FOR THE PS3 AT ALL. IN REALITY IT'S GOT A CRUMMY CONTROLLER THAT I'LL HAVE TO SELL BACK TO GAMESTOP FOR PENNIES TO THE DOLLAR SO I CAN THEN BUY A MORE EXPENSIVE RUMBLIN' CONTROLLER LATER ON, SOMETHING SONY PREVIOUSLY STATED WOULD BE A "HUGE DISSERVICE TO THE CONSUMER!"

-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. I'D RATHER HAVE A FINGERPRINT MAGNET THAT LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS IN DARTH VADER'S RUMPUS ROOM THAN ONE WITH CUSTOMIZABLE FACEPLATES.

-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. I LIKE THE INTERFACE SO MUCH, I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT THERE AREN'T ANY AAA TITLES! IT'S THAT SPECTACULAR!

-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!).ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE A WIRELESS ROUTER, I REALLY ENJOY PAYING MONEY OF GEAR I CAN'T USE BECAUSE IT GIVES ME TALKING POINTS ON VIDEOGAME FORUMS. ALSO, IF I ADD $30 TO THE PRICE OF THE 360'S WIRELESS ADAPTER IN MY LIST, PEOPLE WILL RESPECT ME.

-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). IT'S ALSO TOTALLY RAD THAT ALMOST NOBODY ON PSN USES A HEADSET BECAUSE SONY FORGOT TO BUNDLE ONE WITH THE CONSOLE! AND DON'T FORGET HOW AWESOME IT IS THAT MY EXPENSIVE UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROLL WONT WORK WITH BLUE TOOTH! LOOKS LIKE I'LL JUST HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF SONY EQUIPMENT!

-Can't complain about a built-in Blue Ray player, BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS BABY, ALL I'D BE ABLE TO DO IS PLAY THE LARGELY UNDERWHELMING HANDFUL OF EXCLUSIVE GAMES.

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!

QFT! Someone give this guy the post of the month award!

he sounds desperate. and you sound even more than he does.

Desperate? Yea I guess we are. Desperate for the TRUTH to be known. The PS3 is not the end all be all consoles and EVERY reason EVER given to say otherwise is pure brand loyalty speaking. Call it what oyu will but you are in denial when it comes to what's real.

Having Bluray and WiFi is opinion? Pretty sure that's a fact.

Having that stuff is a fact.

It making it a better gaming system is an opinion.

welcome to system wars where everything is a matter of opinion

[QUOTE="darkslider99"]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. hiryu3

Wrong some people are tired of the repair cycle of the 360. My friend 'kratosfury' traded in his boxafter it died for the second time and got a ps3 'ghosthound2' and traded in every 360 item he had and got a 40g, warrenty, a few games 2 controllers a some movies. so please never say NO ONE would do anything because you do not know all 6 billion people on the face of the planet.

I could see that too. I'd be pretty disgusted with the product (360) and the company behind it if it continued to fail on me.

I still plan on buying a 360 someday though.

Is it me or did you not once mention games in your post? Are they that bad on the PS3? Why does your sig say you're playing Top Spin 2 on your 360? No wonder you traded it in...:|cecx

LOL, so right. We should definitely request his gamertag, unless of course, he doesn't have one like every other FAKEBOY who has tried to change people's minds about the PS3.

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

I disagree. WiFi may not directly influence the gaming experience but it simply is easier to go online with it than without. This makes for better online gaming capabilities in absolute sense in my opinion. Whether Bluray improves the gaming experience isn't clear yet. However I simply can not imagine that having more space to work with won't improve the quality of games in the future. Several ames are coming that couldn't have been done without Bluray (FF13) according to their devs, so I would say it's quite probable Bluray will be improving the gaming experience in the future.

How is it easier to go online with Wi-Fi than it is with hardwire? Once you're HW you don't have to do anything but go online. No worries about interference and HW>>>Wi-Fi for online gaming any day of the week.
