My friend dropped by with his Xbox 360 and brought a bunch of games, we played for about 6 hours. I remember him buying this system on launch, and being a Gamecube owner, I was pretty impressed. Mainly with the High Definition and the super comfortable controllers.
Well, my friends, time has not treated this console well. I am utterly shocked at how much further advanced my PS3 is than the 360. Did you know that if you want to use a headset, it plugs into the controller? PS3 had Bluetooth. Did you know that is has an old fashioned disc tray? PS3 has slot loading. Did you know the 360 has to use MS branded hard-drive at a marked up price? PS3 uses any laptop HD. Did you know the 360 has no built in wireless? I think you already know, the PS3 does. Its not capable of playing Bluray either. Did you know it has memory card slots? So last gen! The external power brick on this thing is HUGE! The interface is cluttered and annoying. And dont get me started on those mucus-green game cases.
You know, I try to stay out of the PS3/360 debate, but the 360 is set-up like a last-gen console. Its on par with my Gamecube, its only advantage being the HD output(oh, wheres the HDMI slot, MS?) I truly feel sorry for people who bought this thing and even worse for the people who hype it. The reason my friend has not played it in 1.5 years is becuase he bought a PS3 and hasnt touched the 360 since. We tried loading some original Xbox games and after trying 9 and being denied support, we finally got Halo to work and thats it. I played a little Dead Rising, Crackdown, Perfect Dark Zero and the graphis are downright cartoony compared to PS3 titles like Uncharted and MGS4.
He left it here for me to play during the weekend, but seriously, the only reason I can muster to turn this thing on is to find another dozen reasons why my PS3 is light years ahead of this dinosaur.
