PS3 vs 360....! POLL!

dont say anyting about the games, but about the system itself and online etc.

Wait you want to compare two gaming consoles but exclude the games? Well the PS3 is shinny and the 360 is not shinny.campbell1874

Yup the most important difference :P

Ooooh, I can't wait for GDC next week.

Someone better knock my socks off. I'm too lazy to take them off the normal way.

So which one is the prettiest?

Shiny PS3 - Online and connectivity X360

Oh teh winner its teh PS3, look how shiny black it is with the blu0ray movies, which i can use to get girls and spend money on.....its a entertainment system, not a filthy game console. LOOK IS COMES WITH SPIDERMAN>>>WHOOOOYEAHHHH

pfft...please, a gaming console is for playing games, so the 360 wins for being no bullsh!t, straight forward gaming console, nothing else.

16 cows and 12 lemmings have visited this thread so far :D

PS3 - Blu-ray player, no real on-line functionality(PS3 Home to come I guess, currently leaves all PS3 owners Homeless), Chat must be done on there dash board. To speak to anyone in game you have to stop playing, push a buttom on the controller and speak, then commence with the game play... oh lets not forget to connect the blutooth headset, then pair it to console before it can be used and if in a chat make sure the mic is set to "OFF" in order for it to be "ON" - LAME!

360 - HD Player, on-line is excellent (XBL, has been here and grown vastly in the last 5 years) it's a system that get's you were you want to go. Demo's to Arcade, Chat/video chat or Game and chat can all be done easily with a push of a button!

The games are what is important :lol:Jandurin

That's kind of what I was thinking....don't we define the success of a console by its games? Or is fanboyism so rampant that simply having the PS or Xbox logo makes it the best?

PS3 - Blu-ray player, no real on-line functionality I could have sworn that I was playing Motorstorm on line the other day, so what exactly do you consider "real online functionality"? (PS3 Home to come I guess, currently leaves all PS3 owners Homeless), Chat must be done on there dash board. To speak to anyone in game you have to stop playing, push a buttom on the controller and speak, then commence with the game play... oh lets not forget to connect the blutooth headset, then pair it to console before it can be used and if in a chat make sure the mic is set to "OFF" in order for it to be "ON" - LAME!

360 - HD Player It can play HD movies that are downloaded but it has no built in HD player...unlike the PS3...also the ps3 can play downloaded hd content , on-line is excellent (XBL, has been here and grown vastly in the last 5 years) it's a system that get's you were you want to go. Demo's to Arcade, Chat/video chat or Game and chat can all be done easily with a push of a button!

Not saying you can't play PS3 on line, just why would you want to if you have to go through such a hassle, secondly, it isn't built in but has an add on. Furthermore, I explained myself about functionality:

360: Chat in game, Chat out of game, Chat period! Send Messages, Download Demos, rent Movies, Catch up on tv shows you missed, an Arcade system, ( That home will have when it gets here I guess)

PS3: NO Chat Period, unless you like jumping through hoops Fido!

And one game that you think you played on line the other night doesn't compare to how many the 360 has. I on my 360 can get on line with in a matter of seconds and feel satisfied by how many options there are on the 360 and feel like I know what I'm doing from the start. The PS3 leaves much to be desired in dept.

Virtual Fighter 5 and Virtual Tennis have no on-line game play on PS3 where on the 360 it's all there. Before you get off to asking why and who cares about those games, that list is a very short list of many others the PS3 just doesn't provide any REAL ON LINE FUNCTIONALITY for!

360 Hands down is the system to own if you want to play on-line. More On-Line options that work

the PS3 is the system to go with if you like blu-ray Movies oh and it happens to be a gaming system as well.

Boils down to this 360 is for the serious gamer that wants to get on and play, the PS3 heard is't fans complain it doesn't have an award system and such so now you guys are gonna get home-> seriously, do you need to have idiots virtually dancing in you virtual house. Or do you want to simply play you games and share your score with friends and so on! Misery Loves Company. I know you bought your PS3 don't cry to me now that your stuck with it!

dont say anyting about the games, but about the system itself and online etc.

what else is there to say?

one console works, one doesn't

one console offers free online, the other console doesn't

fortunately, the better console does both the former and the crummier one does both the latter ;)

Ooooh, I can't wait for GDC next week.

wow you just owned the 360 lmfao, it would have killed this thread if you included the games. So I'm going for PS3 just because aesthetically it's beautiful and the features it has built into it simply kills 360 from a hardware perspective.

My 360 works...so what does that make my 360 into?

Why fanboys?!? Why? Ok here we go again. Move closer to your screen, Eddie5vs1 is going to edumacate you (or at least provide you with a differing opinion).

You state "one console works, one doesn't". What is more accurate would be to say, "The ps3 has excellent reliability, Sony really did a great job. MS really needs to fix their hardware problems but at least they are taking responsibility for the high failure rate". See what I did there? I basically said what you did, except without the fanboyism.

Then you say, "one console offers free online, the other console doesn't". Again you put on your fanboy goggles without looking at the quality of services. I for one am happy to pay $50 a year for a much better online experience and functionality. On the other hand I appreciate the lag free gaming and free themes from PSN and feel that MS is nickle and diming people. HOME will go a long way to fix this, but we'll have to wait and see. Again, did you see what I did there?

I'm not going to address your final point, simply because I already have. Here's a suggestion, trade in your fanboy goggles for gamer goggles, and you'll experience the true maining of gaming (and enjoy a lot more games). Cheers. :)
