planetxbox360.com: Five Reasons I Will Not Purchase a Playstation 3

I mean, considering this is planetxbox360, it shouldn't really come as a surpise that they wrote this, but I was curious how many of you here agree or disagree with their 5 headlining points?

5. Lack of Backwards Compatibility

4. Playstation Network (Online Gaming)

3. Updates Removing Features

2. A Half-Assed War on Piracy

Five Reasons I Will Not Purchase a Playstation 3

2. A Half-Assed War on Piracy

Persistantthug

What? None has been able to pirate games on the PS3, the same cannot be said for the other two.

2. A Half-Assed War on Piracy?

What the hell? Now People are just making crap up...

To bad I already bought one :)

Lame list. I like #4 the best... as if the PS3 has no online community or people to play with :lol:

5. Lack of Backwards Compatibility

**What? If you bought a PS3 at launch, you could have Backwards compatibility all ALL PS2 games and ALL PS1 games** On Xbox you can only have SELECT titles...not that many.

4. Playstation Network (Online Gaming)

Works fine on both systems...I had a 360 for over a year, it was nothing special...the only thing I remember about it is having my subscription expire and being like "Damnit, I cant download a demo".

3. Updates Removing Features

Linux? Cmon...now you're just getting mad for no reason.

2. A Half-Assed War on Piracy

lol What? Is he complaining that you cant Pirate on PS3? Isnt that supposed to be a good thing?

1. Following Instead of Leading

If anything the PS3 is the leader being that it introduced Blu Ray to the system instead of just going with the flow...it took a HUGE risk and it ended up working out in the long run! How does the Xbox lead?

5. Lack of Backwards Compatibility Understandable

4. Playstation Network (Online Gaming) What??

3. Updates Removing Features Understandable

2. A Half-Assed War on Piracy Umm isn't the PS3 still not able to play pirated games at this moment?

1. Following Instead of Leading They do know that Playstation's have been around longer than Xbox right?? And it's dumb to get mad over somebody "copying" another's idea. So even though Coke made Cherry Coke first, it would have been dumb for Pepsi not to make a Cherry Pepsi, its called competition.

But I can definitely understand the Lack of B/C and removal of features, it's why I was reluctant to buy a PS3 in the first place

OMG I would have never thought a site named Planetxbox360.com would say that about the PS3.... Just mind blowing

Nothing to really discuss here. The person who wrote that either prefers the Xbox or is a fanboy.

Bluray Not needed? What? Wait...WHAT? lol. I dont know about you but my Lord of the Rings on Bluray @ 1080p looks simply STELLAR compared to my DVD counterparts...

If you own an SDTV, then I may agree with you.

Unfortunately RROD trumps all of the reasons listed for PS3.

ssooo true :lol:

i dont get number 3...they only took away one feature that wasnt used by even 1/8th of the ps ownersstereointegrity

Not saying I agree, but without knowing their reasoning, I would guess that #2 is linked to them removing Linux. Instead of making their system more secure with an update, they remove something from all systems then say "eh, most people weren't using it anyway."MAILER_DAEMON

All of that could have been summarized in 1 reason. "I am an Xbox fanboy"

Pretty bad reasons.

Number 2 in particular.

Those are pretty poor reasons. The only one thats actually bad is no more BC.

The biggest reason for me is so I dont feel obligated to justify to everyone else on the internet on forums my purchase and then make threads all day trying to bash the guy ahead and try to convince others to buy it that way.:P

5. you didn't want back when it had BC. Heck, you probably never had a ps2.

4. You won't buy it due to free online?

3. Features that the 360 never had and you (not to mention most people) don't care about. Linux? who cares.

2. Because Microsoft and Nintendo are doing a better job. (sarcasm)

1. Yeah because Microsoft always leads and inovates.

el oh el

This really isn't worth giving attention, right?AAllxxjjnn

5. Backwards compatibility - I have backwards compatibility. Should have bought at launch!

4. PSN - I rarely get disconnected and I download around 3mbps wireless. Can also access my ps3 remotely through my psp.

3. Feature Removal - Never used Other OS to begin with. Removed to combat piracy, what else has firmware removed?

2. Piracy - Seem to be doing a good job to me. How many people do you know playing pirated bluray movies and games on ps3?

1. Innovation - Hmm lets see. Ill just mention playstation eye toy and leave it at that.

5 reasons not to buy a Xbox 360

5. Few reasons to own it if you have a gaming pc

4. requires $15 to play online

3. Exclusives lack quality compared to the PS3's

2. System has less features then the ps3 such as no online broswser and no HD format.

1. Most unreliable hardware this geneartion

See I can make a list to and the sad thing is I own a 360 :D

That's actually a better list than the one PlanetXbox360 made.

This has got to be the top 5 dumbest, most idiotic crappy articles I have ever read in my life(rivaling FOX news of course)!

Basically, he is pissed he can't pirate PS3 games, and he can't install a useless OS that only 5% of the human population use.

Sony Playstation brands have pushed technology forward through Bluray and DVD and it payed off!

Someone ban him from writing another atrocity please....
