But most PS3 owners are quite happy sticking with the PS3. Everyone knows whether the real exclusives are at, and with most multiplats looking the same or, in some cases, better on the PS3 (FF13 / Bad Company 2), there is really only one choice this gen.

The money they are paying to set them selves up for a good gaming experience is more than the ps3.

It can cost more for the xbox plus it roughly the same now so whats your point.
If you buy either system there is load of great games to play.
You are just making a weak fanboy arguement.

If i hadn't bought my PS3, i would be over £800 up, and far happier. I'm quite content with what the Xbox offers, the PS3 does not compliment it at all.

Maybe you should buy one? Make up your own mind.
The 360 offers everything i need. The PS3 and 360 share 99% of the same games anyway, why would i need both? To play great games like Lair, Motorstorm, Resistance, and God of War?
No thanks. If i could go back in time and not buy the PS3. I'd do it in a heartbeat, and use the extra money to further upgrade my PC

I bought both systems when they came out and i wish i saved my money and bought it a couple of year later when a good amount of decent games came out and they managed to get to the xbox level of multiplate games. Now the xbox had a good amount of games since relase but was slow last year for exclusives.
Games like mass effect 2 can be played on the PC but i dont have a gaming rig to make it any better than playing it on my xbox.
So thats why the 360 is still 5 or so million units ahead then?
Lol like what? party chat...It's real easy to down play party chat if you don't have it. If you game with a lot of people it is indispensable. It's the main reason most people prefer XBL multiplayer to PSN. Look at multiplatform multiplayer game sales and it's pretty damn obvious.[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]

Nope. If I thought the PS3 was worth the money, I'd buy one.
However, there are only about 3 or 4 games I'm interested in, so what's the point?
There are already more than enough games on the 360 and PC for me. Another console would just be overkill.
How do cows come up with this BS?
EDIT: Also, since when was Bad Company 2 better on the PS3? Proof?
Afford it? :lol: They're both the same price...
Most people would own a 360, PS3, Wii and a PC if they could afford it, instead of being jealous and making fanboyish posts on SW. :lol:

Lol, including Lair is a dirty move, that game suckeeed substructurally.... but Microsoft did take the milky way with all of em accessories. XLive may rocks, but all neat features of PS3 are more favorable to me.

I was going to say Uncharted 1 and 2 but then i'd be called a fanboy for not being in love with Nathan Drake. The PS3 has several exclusives i enjoy, but not enough to justify how much i paid for it, for someone who's buying it for both multiplats and exclusives, it's an excellent console.

which is why they announced portal 2 for the PC and 360 but not the PS3 amirite?
let me tell you a story;
i own both a 360 and a ps3 and have done for almost 3 years.i owned the 360 first and got it in 2006. currently i have 7 games for 360 and 2 games for ps3. i'm a bit of a sucker for trading in titles you see so i have owned more games than that but tend to sell games once i complete them. i can afford to buy every game that interests me when they're released but what's strange is that in my time of owning the ps3 i;ve only bought5 games, those being f1 championship, heavenly sword (both bundled with the console when i bought it), mgs4, uncharted and gt5 prologue. i'll admit that i bought the console solely for the exclusives but the turnout of games that have been released is a real disappointment but also testament to the quality of games being released on the xbox coupled with the fact that until recently most of the major multiplats released have been superior on 360.
i feel that the fees for xbl are entirely worth it on 360 and it shows when compared to psn, which i've never been able to play a good game online with

Or you could of upgraded your pc to begin with, played those same games on the xbox but only much better looking and playing and then got a ps3 down the line to compliment the pc. which imo is the best combination for the most exclusives and bang for your buck.. owning a PC and PS3 gives the most exclusives and games to play. Plus they are both free to play online, offer the most freedom for devs to implement new ideas and have the most features. There is only a few games i can't play, one of which is halo3/odst which frankly i never liked the series and think it is very overrated as i own 1 and 2 on pc and they pale in comparison to pc shooters.When the 360 launched i didn't understand why any pc gamer would of bought one. Games like Cod2, Oblivion, Graw, and Quake 4 came out for it, but they looked much worse and you had to pay to play online. Why would a pc gamer buy a system that has 90% the same games and they look/play worse and make you pay to play. That never made sense to me. The ps3 though always had games (even in the 2007 year) that were not like anything seen on pc , Games like Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Warhawk, MGS4, LBP, Gta4 (at the time) these were games that you couldn't play on the pc back when i bought mine, and the list grew and grew.

"compared to psn, which i've never been able to play a good game online with"
Lol, wut?
i;ve been able to play, what i think are, good games online using psn. namely mgs4 and fl championship edition. but the way the online aspect of these games are implemented it makes for a very poor experience. i'll focus on f1 ce because i've played that the most but the races are disorganised and unfair, there's a very low online population (mainly because it's a pretty old game but i remember the online being quiet when the game was much newer), and the lack of a microphone being spplied straight out of the box with new ps3's means that there's no atmosphere when playing games online. whatever people say about xbl it will always be more lively because you can actually talk to your oppenents, have a chat, have some banter or share some insults[QUOTE="thetruespin"]

Fact is i prefer 360 exclusives. Therefore no, the PS3 dose not compliment it more. You seem to forget the PS3 and PC share alot of games too, only a few less then the PC and 360 ...
Either way i'd be stuck plaing the same exclusive games im playing now, except i'd miss out on gaming with my xbox Live friends, on games i prefer to play on consoles.
Plus, i bought my 360 atleast a year and a half before the PS3 was even released in europe.

On Topic, sorry to burst your bubble, but after owning all 3 this gen, I'm getting the best experience out of the 360. I owned a Bluray and see it as a ripoff. I might get a BD Rom for my PC, PSN was a major joke as was most of there higher rated games and the PS3 controller feels like a fragile toy. Most of the PS3 owners I know outside of here only use RROD as a crutch because they know the gaming is better on the 360...

uh dude... My post proved my point... Near Launch games for the first year of 360: Cod2, Oblivion, Graw, and Quake 4 and Gears of war all on pc all better on PC. Launch games for PS3: Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Folklore, MGS4, Resistance fall of man,Ninja Gaiden Sigma, all on ps3 not o the pc.. (I did not list sucky games like lair and perfect dark zero as they are not worth buying a console for) When already being a pc gamer why would i buy a system that has 95% of the same games and makes you pay to play online. If you can't see the point i made is true then you need to wipe your eyes. Unless you like halo (i can't stand that series) then there really is no reason being a pc gamer to get a 360. As far as freedom for devs... PS3 allows devs to use pc made mods, it also allows for keyboard and mouse controls and enables the devs to launch free expansion paks (unreal 3 did all 3 things and the 360 version got none of it as ms doesn't allow mods, kb/mouse, and doesn't allow free content as they get no cash for it). Couple that what mmo devs are saying about not being able to launch their games on 360 do to the pricing structure. They want people to play them and pay the subscription but for everyone not just gold members, ms doesn't like that at all. Tell me where you can find heavenly sword, warhawk, uncharted, lbp, infamous, god of war like games on the pc? these aren't typical pc style games...they are PlayStation style games.I don't understand how someone who doesn't even own a 360 could have so much knowledge of what it isn't.[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"]

uh dude... My post proved my point... Near Launch games for the first year of 360: Cod2, Oblivion, Graw, and Quake 4 and Gears of war all on pc all better on PC. Launch games for PS3: Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Folklore, MGS4, Resistance fall of man,Ninja Gaiden Sigma, all on ps3 not o the pc.. (I did not list sucky games like lair and perfect dark zero as they are not worth buying a console for) When already being a pc gamer why would i buy a system that has 95% of the same games and makes you pay to play online. If you can't see the point i made is true then you need to wipe your eyes. Unless you like halo (i can't stand that series) then there really is no reason being a pc gamer to get a 360. As far as freedom for devs... PS3 allows devs to use pc made mods, it also allows for keyboard and mouse controls and enables the devs to launch free expansion paks (unreal 3 did all 3 things and the 360 version got none of it as ms doesn't allow mods, kb/mouse, and doesn't allow free content as they get no cash for it). Couple that what mmo devs are saying about not being able to launch their games on 360 do to the pricing structure. They want people to play them and pay the subscription but for everyone not just gold members, ms doesn't like that at all. Tell me where you can find heavenly sword, warhawk, uncharted, lbp, infamous, god of war like games on the pc? these aren't typical pc style games...they are PlayStation style games. infamous which is pretty much spot on the exact game you get with prototype...and thats on 360." Warhawk type games are available on pc. LBP is a game editor disguised as a game. Button masher titles like god of war there are those on 360 just not god of war *that applies to goddess of war as well* uncharted is a 3rd person shooter there are 3rd person shooter games on the pc.Or you could of upgraded your pc to begin with, played those same games on the xbox but only much better looking and playing and then got a ps3 down the line to compliment the pc. which imo is the best combination for the most exclusives and bang for your buck.. owning a PC and PS3 gives the most exclusives and games to play. Plus they are both free to play online, offer the most freedom for devs to implement new ideas and have the most features. There is only a few games i can't play, one of which is halo3/odst which frankly i never liked the series and think it is very overrated as i own 1 and 2 on pc and they pale in comparison to pc shooters.[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"]

Maybe you should buy one? Make up your own mind.
The 360 offers everything i need. The PS3 and 360 share 99% of the same games anyway, why would i need both? To play great games like Lair, Motorstorm, Resistance, and God of War?
No thanks. If i could go back in time and not buy the PS3. I'd do it in a heartbeat, and use the extra money to further upgrade my PC
heretrix
When the 360 launched i didn't understand why any pc gamer would of bought one. Games like Cod2, Oblivion, Graw, and Quake 4 came out for it, but they looked much worse and you had to pay to play online. Why would a pc gamer buy a system that has 90% the same games and they look/play worse and make you pay to play. That never made sense to me. The ps3 though always had games (even in the 2007 year) that were not like anything seen on pc , Games like Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Warhawk, MGS4, LBP, Gta4 (at the time) these were games that you couldn't play on the pc back when i bought mine, and the list grew and grew.
I don't understand how someone who doesn't even own a 360 could have so much knowledge of what it isn't. uh i don't know...Maybe because I did a ton of research before buying my console. i wasn't even going to get a console, hell I haven't owned one since the ps1 before buying my ps3. I got the psp as a gift and was enamored by the device so much that it got me looking to see what playstation console games were doing, and was loving what i saw. I had friends with the 360 and already knew most of the games they had I had on my pc and i was paying for free. I always do extensive research on what I buy before putting down hundreds of dollars on something. Its the smart thing to do. And frankly i find anyone who just goes out on impulse buying a console without know all the details is just not being very smart at all.[QUOTE="ohthemanatee"][QUOTE="Midnightshade29"] link?

Tell me where you can find heavenly sword, warhawk, uncharted, lbp, infamous, god of war like games on the pc? these aren't typical pc style games...they are PlayStation style games.Perfect Dark got a 9 here, unlike your so called quality PS3 launch games. I enjoyed, and still enjoy PDZ, it's far better then Resistance.
Also, GRAW on the PC is nothing like GRAW on the Xbox 360. The 360 version was my first true next gen experiance, and it was excellent.
Games like Dead or Alive were not on PC too, and are still excellent to this day, face it, you don't know enough about the Xbox to bash it, whereas i own a PS3 and can make up a valid opinion of it.
heavenly sword, warhawk, uncharted, lbp, infamous, god of war are not PS style games ...
Heavenly Sword is a hack and slash game, every console has them, as do the PC.
Warhawk? LOL, It's a poor mans battlefield, with a poor flight sim tacked on
Uncharted is a third person shooter, the PC has these, it nothing comparted to Max Pain.
LBP is a platformer, every console has these, the PC has TONS of indy games just like this.
God of War? See Heavenly sword.
And before you ask, i own all the games mentioned, and will show you my PSN ID if you don't believe me.
The multiplats the 360 and PC share may be better on the PC, but surely someone who claims to be playing multiplatform games on their PS3, as opposed to the PC will know that sometimes, you don't want them on the PC
Launch games for PS3: Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Folklore, MGS4, Resistance fall of man,Ninja Gaiden Sigma, all on ps3 not o the pc.. (I did not list sucky games like lair and perfect dark zero as they are not worth buying a console for) Midnightshade29All of those games you mentioned are fromm 2007 and 2008 those are not "launch games"
360: 191 exclusives
PS3: 155 exclusives
The 360 has more exclusives then the PS3, more games that are not on the PC or the PS3, deal with it
LWhen already being a pc gamer why would i buy a system that has 95% of the same games and makes you pay to play online. If you can't see the point i made is true then you need to wipe your eyes.Midnightshade29and yet those 5% are still more then the PS3 has to offer in terms of cold hard numbers. This is a fact, not an opinion
Except for metal gear solid (I can't stand the series) there is no reason being a PC gamer to get a PS3Unless you like halo (i can't stand that series) then there really is no reason being a pc gamer to get a 360.Midnightshade29
"As far as freedom for devs... PS3 allows devs to use pc made mods it also allows for keyboard and mouse controls"
And how many games use it? 1?
"free expansion paks (unreal 3 did all 3 things and the 360 version got none of it as ms doesn't allow mods, kb/mouse, and doesn't allow free content as they get no cash for it)"
a lot of games on XBL give out free content, from expansions to map packs
"Couple that what mmo devs are saying about not being able to launch their games on 360 do to the pricing structure."
And yet none of these devs are actually making games for the PS3
"They want people to play them and pay the subscription but for everyone not just gold members, ms doesn't like that at all. Tell me where you can find heavenly sword, warhawk, uncharted, lbp, infamous, god of war like games on the pc? these aren't typical pc ****games...they are PlayStation ****games."
Heavenly sword? Devil may cry 4 in on the PC
Warhawk? a online shooter? gee... I wonder where I can find that? :roll:
Infamous? Prototype
God of war? Devil may cry 4
Uncharted? a shooter? gee... where can I find that on the PC :roll:
i'll give you LBP though
I would have to get pretty rich to decide to throw money at a PS3, considering I only want two games for it (MGS4 and GoW3).....
I love my 360 and am very happy I threw down the money on it. I much prefer paying for XBL with what I saw of PSN (my old roomate got a PS3 a couple months before we moved out).
People forget that we pay for XBL because it is by far the best online experience there is. I even prefer it to my PC gaming days (granted WoW was mucho fun and so was UT2004).
Left 4 Dead 1 is like my all-time fav multiplayer game and probably one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had and I preferred to stay on the 360 with that one because of XBL, even though I DID want to experience the custom maps and mods.
Untill you get on XBL you can't understand just how the experience trumps other online experiences.
The games on the PS3 were not on the PC at all. So why would you compare the two consoles when i was talking strickly as a pc gamer. Sure the 360 may be a great console for someone who doesn't already game on pc, I will admit that, but for a pc gamer it is not imo. Midnightshade29
