I personally think your crazy for thinking Gears is better than Resistance.

Thats how I always put it. I agree.

The 360 seems to have much more refined user experience.

And why would a graphics whore prefer a console where most games look or perform worse? :P

PAL360

because the visual difference in exclusives are quite bigger than the visual differences in 98% of the multiplats;)

Thats a myth created by the hype long time ago. :P Killzone2 is the only PS3 exclusive that looks better than Gears2.

and gears 2 is the only great looking exclusive on the 360

No. Its just the best looking. Theres also PGR4, Ace Combat 6, Kameo, Fable2, etc and some non exclusives like Gears, Mass Effect...

I don't own one yet. I am honestly disappointed in all of the consoles and am just going to sit out this generation unless there is a game that is as good as the older generations. I mean, I played Halo 3 for 10 minutes and thought it was repetitive mishmash with a few extra features.

people need to know the difference between crap and "not made for you". for me, it is vice versa, 360 has absolutely no games that I want to play other NG2, and now NGS2 is coming to PS3. the only game that slightly interests me is Alan Wake, other than that, nothing on 360, Halo, Gears, etc just not my taste, but I wont say the 360 is crap or it does not have good games just because I dont like its games. its all down to preference.

There are ALOT of people here in SW that need to realize what you just said. :) But then again, if they did.... it wouldnt really be system 'wars', I guess. Maybe system debate, or something.

Mass Effect says howdy. :) And yes, its a console exclusive to the 360, you can argue that all day long and it wont change that fact... (Not saying you would say that, but just in case) :)

Yeah, the PS3 sounds good in theory, but in practice it's nothing to brag about. The vast, vast majority of games for it (80%+) are very short with almost no replay value.

AHUGECAT

Most games this gen on any platform have no replay value this gen, and I doubt that the amount is 80%+

Doesnt change the fact that its not on the PS3. So, its still a console exclusive game. Maybe I worded that wrong... as far as consoles go, its only on the 360... aw, hell.. I dont know. You know what I mean, lol..

i thought were gonna speak techs here, ayway you are trolling very hard, you spoke abt every pro for the x360 and every con for the PS3, HDMI cables are dropped from the new Elite consoles http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/27/ms-dropping-elite-hdmi-cable-gives-punters-flexibility-of-choice/.

PS3 is a blu ray player, wi-fi built in, good cridible hardware..etc.

i dun see the elite beating the slim in anyway......games are opinions, what's wrong wz the PS3 having slightly inferior multi-plateform???!!! it is still the same game, i am very staisfied wz the PS3 exclusives except in the JRPG genre.

you are stating opinions ( ur opinions actually, not the majority opinions).

one last thing dun troll again plz,

[QUOTE="Solid_Max13"]I can say the same about 360 sounding good on paper but then again my PC does all that and more. Which is somewhat why I'm disappointed by my 360, I love it buy I've got a PC and it does everything the 360 does plus more, c'mon MS start pumping those exclusives again!SecretPolice

Forza 3 & ODST are close at hand !!! :D

Hehe, I still play forza 2 on a constant basis. The game is THAT good.

I would say 360 and wii are 2 amazing consoles. I thought the ps3 would probably be the best, but when my brother got one, i stuck to the 360 and wii. Why? Well the ps3 may sound great on paper, cuz it is the most powerful and the best graphics. Also it uses blue ray instead of duel layered dvds. I played resistance and the 2nd and I found both no match for halo or gears of war. it didnt have as great graphics as I thought it would and its just not that fun. Also I was playing it on a 1080p HDMI tv. Killzone 2 I found the gameplay was terrible although it had amazing graphics.

Also the updates took forever and they were so frequent and there was much more hackers online on COD4 then 360 COD4. On my first 4 matches 3 of them had hackers in them. MGS4 was pretty good gameplay but its not enough action and way too many long cutscenes. I felt more like a movie then game and if u skipped them u would be lost in what ur supposed to do. Also MGS online i tried to download and i waited for an hour and it was at 2%. The only exclusives I enjoyed were Uncharted, Infamous and Motorstorm Pacific rift. Most of the third party game I didn't like as much as the 360 version because of slightly laggier online and the ps3 controller didnt feel as well as the wiimote or 360 controller.

The ps3 slim may be $300 and has free online, but it still can be the most expensive. First you have to either buy seperate compnent cables or an HDMI cable unless u already own a HDMI cable, but thats still cheap. Also if you don't own a bluetooth headset u have to get a bluetooth headset. The PS3 one I found was terrible becuz it vibrated in ur ears, but some other ones were okay. It was a small inconvenience that i had to charge the ps3 headset overnight all the time, but it was no big deal. The ps3 charge cord I wish were longer,but the ps3 controller hav such long battery lif that it doesnt matter.

I found a Xbox 360 Elite that came with all the things 360's come with, a wireless adapter, halo 3 and 2 other games for 329.99 canadian. Also it came with some xbox live (not sure how long though probably 3 months.) The ps3 slim is $300, then u have to buy either a HDMI cable or component cables which would be $25 dollars for components new and $40 new for HDMI. Of coure used is $20 for HDMI and $10 used, but I wouldn't get used cuz most of them dont work. Then you would have to get a headset which cost $50 (I foundmany that were more expensive)for the standard sony headset, but u can get a different one for $25, I'm sure at some places hav some sort of deal where uget 1 free game with ur ps3 slim buton the listings most say just the system. SO say u got a ps3 slim,$25 component cables,and a $50headset its 375 dollars with no games. Thats not bad but still the most expensive console on the market, but if they sold a bundle it would be cheaper.

PS3 is a good system and its fun at time, but its not as good as it sounds because the advantages arent enough to make developers make the ps3 versions better. even Modern Warfare 2 is demoed for 360 all the time. its fun but not amazing.

Buddy, Amen to that!

So basically you bought a system that didnt have the games you like? Who's fault is that? Check out the library before you buy the system. And oh yeah, updates are quick. Just do them on your PC (takes about 1-2min) put them on a USB, plug it into your PS3 and wham! PS3 completely updated in less than 5 minutes. If 5 minutes is too long for you, then nothing can save you.

GOD all of this pointless arguing is getting to be too much. Lemmings are lemmings and their opinions won't change, even if they are dead wrong. Cows are cows and their opinions won't change, even if they are dead wrong. SO can we please all just stop making these pointless threads.

TC if you dont like exclusives games such as Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, Resistance2, LBP, SOCOM, Motorstorm, Valkyria Chronicles, heavenly Sword, Rachet&Clank, Warhawk, Disgea,Infamous and many others along the multiplats.. then its not a matter of PS3 being mediocre, its just PS3 is not made for you..

If you are not interested in games such as Uncharted2, Ratchet&Clank, Heavy Rain, The last guardian, GT5, Gow3, MAG, Demon Souls, WKC & more... again its not that PS3 is mediocre its just its not made for you..

If you are not interested in watching BR movies, not having to pay extra for Online, not having to pay extra for recharging controllers, more reliable hardware, WIFi, many multimedia functions & more.... again its not that PS3 is mediocre its just not made for you..

Thats why we are lucky to have 3 great consoles on the market so we have a choice !!!

I TOTALLY agree with you there. I just got a ps3 slim and after all the stuff that I read about the ps3 like its media features, six axis controller, 120 GB hard drive (which is cool), BLU RAY player, USB ports, memory slots, wi fi, the system just feels under whelming....its not what I expected it to be. But personally I really like the ps3 controller, (even though the 360 controller is better) and uncharted drakes fortune is a really good game. But the sad part is the ps3 is just an xbox 360 wannabe system, it feels like I have 2 xbox 360's. Well God of War is coming out soon and hopefully that game will kick lass
