I Know lately it seems like i favor the PS3 more over the 360 but im sorry, I now realize the PS3 will not be succesful. As a owner of both consoles I must say that my 360 gets played on a daily basis and the PS3 gets played maybe once every two weeks and the only game I play for the PS3 is fight night which Im going to trade in for the 360 version this weekend because I just downloaded the Fight night demo on the 360 and WOW its a day and night difference, 360 version owns the PS3 version but anyways. Im sorry sony, I really wanted the PS3 to win and I had so much faith in it but its been 6 months and Sony has nothing to show for it but watered down ports, exclusive games that flopped and a inferior online service.. Sorry sony, Lemmings are right

As you can see in my sig I do own both consoles by the way, and I hardly use my PS3. Hell I even bought a few blu ray movies and i dont even watch those. And a lot of you are probably thinking im being sarcastic beause my posts on the pasts have been prasing sony but no IM DEAD SERIOUS! Not trying to joke or be sarcastic whatsoever. Im just a very dissatisfied sony fan that is finally seeing the light and realizing the 360 is leaps and bounds better

hmm all 360 keep breaking, bill gates is making players pay for everything and they try to make money out of every single action they do

even IF the system was better ... microsoft's marketing will bring their sales down !!!!!!!

Well, good to see you're honest and can show humility, unlike a lot of the clowns on here. The PS3 is far from the wonder machine Sony marketed it as, true, but it will get better. Whether it ever gets to the same level as the 360 remains to be seen, but I wouldn't discount either just yet.

Still, the whole waiting game is starting to wear thin on lots of people, and understandably so.

dont get me wrong i like both systems but people are beinmg way to harsh on the PS3. PS3 has only been out for six months. 360 has been out a year and then some. PS3 is on its 1st wave of games 360 is on its 2nd. give the PS3 some more time by then devs will know the true power of the cell. PS3 lifespan will be longer than the 360's but the 360 is still an awesome piece of hardware

I mean the PS3 is in such a bad bad position. Sony's gaming division is posting HUGE losses and also cutting into profits made by other sony divisions! And 6 months after the system has released and the PS3 has NOTHING to show for it! I honestly see the PS3 being discontinued by Feb of 08. I see sony giving one more try this holiday season and I see it flopping bad this holiday season forcing them to discontinue the product by Feb of next year. I just see no way they can win, unlike MS they dont have the huge Money to work with and now news that incognito is leaving sony!!

ROFL. you're too much. thanks for the good laughs.

 

 edit: let's say you do own a ps3 and 360. you are better off having both if both consoles have games that you want to play. what is the point of selling one where in the end you will regret and end up re-buying. that is just waste of money. From your previous post it seems like there are ps3 games you are eager to play. So you should just wait unless you are certain about your decision. I think you should hold off on selling the ps3 IMO.

True, But good god man. Dont you think Sony could release a good title to hold us gamers over until the big released. I mean both GRAW 2 and Rainbow six vegas have been delayed numerous times. There are no good games for the PS3 right now whatsoever. Motorstorm flopped, Oblivion is on PS3 and a year old port. VF5 is coming to 360, resistance is boring as crap and fight night is better on the 360 hence why im trading in my PS3 fight night for the 360 version this weekend at EB games, 6 months and the PS3 hasnt proven crap! Im a very disappointed customer. Hell Blu ray didnt even look as good as I thought it would, they just cant seem to do anything right

Well in all "fairness", if 360 launched a year (2007) later all its games would look a year better and it would have launch with whatever was released that year, it would have still decimated the competition.

true, the ps3 is made to last really longer than any previous gen ... and we'll see microsoft trying to earn more money so they will surely produce a new system in a shorter time than we could expect

But dude MS had some decent games at launch that really stood out as next gen.. PDZ, Ghost Recon,Kameo, PGR3 etc where all good enough games to hold over atleast for 6 months or so.. So far the PS3 has jack crap

Cool. I have a lot of respect for the PS3. But I prefer a 360. I hope both do really well and become very successful.

 

I'm not like other guys here that LOVE one of them and absolutely HATE the other one. And I'm no "manticore" either because once I heard DMC4 was coming to the 360, I decided to not purchase a PS3. But again, it matters on your preferance of gaming franchises. Mine so happens to be into a lot of what the 360 holds.

....Im not defending the PS3. I meant regardless if it was a year early or a year late it still would have decimated the competition with games.

you also bring up exteremly good oints. I personally dont own any next gen system yet. I just feel that the PS3 will last the longest and for me I feel its the best buy considering everything it can do. I calculated the price of what it would cost for all the stuff it does not all of it but most of it and it came to about $2360 worth of electronics in it. I think once heavenly sword, lair,GoW3, mgs4, and Uncharterd drake comes out the system will be a fresh new life. If sony can cut the price that would help easy the pain. MS is doing a excellent job however i dont plan on buying one 2 of my friends have them. the 360 improved greatly on the already good xbox. now that Halo 3 will be out in september instead of november that will help MS. although for me personaly gears and halo 3 and few others were really the only things pushing me to think of buying a 360.

In the end I am probably going w/ a PS3 to buy my friends all have the others, plus when I heard you cou8ld run a OS system to download VLC so I can play AVI files and its dvd ripper capabilities then that was a huge selling point

i dunno man, this migh be the one time where this doesnt look like a fakeboy post. i own a ps3 and i've pretty much totally lost hope, i live in a house that sees a lot of gaming and we haven't even felt the need to buy a 2nd sixaxis -- dude, that is a bad omen. all of my previous consoles the first purchase was a 2nd controller dating back to Atari 7800. yeah - im that old, lol.

so yeah, ps3 is eating dirt right now and it sucks. i was really hoping it would serve a purpose but as much as i hate to say it the 360/Wii combination in my house is destroying the PS3. in all honesty the last time i turned my PS3 on was to play the motorstorm demo when some friends were over :(

MS is doing a excellent job however i dont plan on buying one 2 of my friends have them. the 360 improved greatly on the already good xbox. now that Halo 3 will be out in september instead of november that will help MS. although for me personaly gears and halo 3 and few others were really the only things pushing me to think of buying a 360.

In the end I am probably going w/ a PS3 to buy my friends all have the others, plus when I heard you cou8ld run a OS system to download VLC so I can play AVI files and its dvd ripper capabilities then that was a huge selling point

Im streaming 5.1 720p VLC BR & HD-DVD movies to my X360....so ummmm :|

thats cool but i dont want streaming files i have a external hard drive and i wanted to hook that up to it. I tried on my firnds and he got VLC for his 360 but we couldnt get it to work, but thanks anyways

I believe the latest spring dash update allowed VLC streaming. You dont need progz like Transcode360 etc. The files extensions do have to be .WMV though. Unfortunately, you do need Transcode360 for AVI/DivX/Xvid etc. I don't wanna get to into it cause then mods will think we're talkin piracy. But search around.....Maybe you & your friend should try the VLC files as WMV. They look incredible! You wont notice a difference ;)

[QUOTE="PeterTimpa"]dont get me wrong i like both systems but people are beinmg way to harsh on the PS3. PS3 has only been out for six months. 360 has been out a year and then some. PS3 is on its 1st wave of games 360 is on its 2nd. give the PS3 some more time by then devs will know the true power of the cell. PS3 lifespan will be longer than the 360's but the 360 is still an awesome piece of hardwareE M I N 3 M

True, But good god man. Dont you think Sony could release a good title to hold us gamers over until the big released. I mean both GRAW 2 and Rainbow six vegas have been delayed numerous times. There are no good games for the PS3 right now whatsoever. Motorstorm flopped, Oblivion is on PS3 and a year old port. VF5 is coming to 360, resistance is boring as crap and fight night is better on the 360 hence why im trading in my PS3 fight night for the 360 version this weekend at EB games, 6 months and the PS3 hasnt proven crap! Im a very disappointed customer. Hell Blu ray didnt even look as good as I thought it would, they just cant seem to do anything right

you also bring up exteremly good oints. I personally dont own any next gen system yet. I just feel that the PS3 will last the longest and for me I feel its the best buy considering everything it can do. I calculated the price of what it would cost for all the stuff it does not all of it but most of it and it came to about $2360 worth of electronics in it.

PS2 is outselling both the Xbox 360 and the PS3

PS2 has more exclusives

PS2 is the cheapest

PS2 > PS360 (imo)

Oh Christ, I am so sick of people blaming Sony for lack in games, or delays, SONY DOESN'T RELEASE THE GAMES!!! The Developers of the game do, not Sony, Sony has almost nothing to do with the release and or release date of any game (unless they are publishing it).

hehe, spoken like a gaming hobo. i liked the ps2, was fun while it lasted. after i skip to the next gen i cant get in to last gen games -- not until they get old enough to be retro (at least in my mind :)). cheapest, best selling, and more exclusives do not = better, esp when next gen consoles are backwards compatible.

i own all 3 next gen, plus ps2, ataris, virtual boys, gameboys, ds, gc, n64s, dreamcasts -- and no, PS2 is not the best, not by a long shot. it may have a lot of games but y'know what they say about satellite and cable tv: 'thousand channels and nothing on'. i liked some ps2 games but for the most part its a hobo system when compared to everything else i own. i don't mean that as an insult at all, it just seems cheap and shoddy to me for the most part. some good games, but oodles of crap, a poor controller, and numerous disc read errors that have made me call in for 3 refurbs so far :S.

so yeah, long story short -- screw the numbers, the 3 next gen consoles are all fun in their own right and are all more fun than the ps2. unless you JUST bought a ps2, then by all means - get caught up.

i dunno man, this migh be the one time where this doesnt look like a fakeboy post. i own a ps3 and i've pretty much totally lost hope, i live in a house that sees a lot of gaming and we haven't even felt the need to buy a 2nd sixaxis -- dude, that is a bad omen. all of my previous consoles the first purchase was a 2nd controller dating back to Atari 7800. yeah - im that old, lol.

so yeah, ps3 is eating dirt right now and it sucks. i was really hoping it would serve a purpose but as much as i hate to say it the 360/Wii combination in my house is destroying the PS3. in all honesty the last time i turned my PS3 on was to play the motorstorm demo when some friends were over :(

Try buying games for it, and see what happens.... Could be fun yeh know? The MotorStorm full game is slightly better than the demo.

I don't understand "i liked the ps2, was fun while it lasted"? The PS2 may be many years old but it is STILL on top at the moment! I think the PS2 will remain to be a thorn in the side of the 360 and PS3 for quite a few years from now :D

My PS3 is just a Blu-ray player for now.  I think there will be some good games for it.  Might be till early next year before we see them though.  Waiting for E3 maybe something good will be shown.  360 is sweet and a lot of good stuff is out for it now.  IDK why anyone would pick PS3 for a gaming rig over 360 ATM.

lol, I guess I hit a nerve.  ^_~

And i'm just trying to make use of the resources here so it doesn't feel like a complete waste of money on the site's behalf.  You're lucky I don'ttypelikethis due to it being against the rules.  If you don't like it, don't read it.

Talk about PS3, indeed Motorstorm, Resistance, Lair and HS are not games anyone would pay any attention to BUT

Shivering Isles, Kameo, Viva Pinata, BFME2, C&C3, Enchanted Arms, Gears of War, etc are amazing games

/sigh. its only the first friggin year. give both consoles time. why do people need to judge things from the get-go? if that wwas the case, i would never have kept my ps3, 360, gcn, ds or psp. the epic, beautiful games don't always come out at the console's release.
