Sold my 360 to buy a PS3.

I recently sold my 360 and used the money to buy a PS3. I had owned my 360 since launch and had alot of fun with it. The last several months however I noticed that xbox live moved super slow, and I couldn't stay connected long enough to make it through a multiplayer match. Also it would take a full minute to sign in and load the dashboard. I was afraid that it would break (again) soon and it was no longer under warranty. So I sold it and got a PS3. I had forgotten that the PS3 requires an install for every game (even demos). I was pleased to find that Playstation network runs silky smooth for downloads and online play. Also, A few titles have a visual edge on anything i had seen on 360. I got a logitech driving force gt and I'm eagerly waiting for GT5. I hope it's as good as Forza 3. I think it's funny how people always say that 360 has superior online gaming, from my experience it's the opposite. Anyone else jump ship from one to the other?

Congrats on your new system. While you wait for GT5, I suggest you go and search around titles you might be interested in such as Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Motorstorm, LBP, and more. All great games.

Welcome to the ps3's family :)

Got MGS4 yet? Best game this generation.

Welcome to the dark side as we always say, I'd recommend Uncharted 2 as a good game to start with if you haven't already bought it, the story doesn't get boring, I beat it 3 times and still can have a good time playing it. the online is really fun/addicting as well.

Currently I have Burnout Paradise (Have to have something to use my driving force gt on), Little Big Planet (This is the first game I have ever owned that my wife bugs me to play, She loves it!), MGS4 (Incredible, 3/5 complete and problably best game I've ever played. Im a MGS fan, but this game is so awesome and filled with fan service it makes me giddy. Like at the end of act 3 when Liquid get the Guns of the Patriots!) Killzone is up next on my list. I was looking at Borderlands to play with my friends that are scattered across the US, but not untill they patch it.

Nice you got a PS3, shame you had to sell your 360, maybe it was the 360's ethernet port that was slowing things down and droping connections.

I made a similar switch about a month ago, got a great deal on my 360 and games and basically traded it straight up for a slim PS3.

As someone who also made that switch, I actually recommend that you forgo that list and save a few bucks by buying some outstanding older games: MGS4, R&C:ToD, Uncharted (the first one) are all under $30 now as Greatest Hits titles. Also, buy MLB09....

Motorstorm is an old game......Whats your point?:|

Also, being new to PSN, I don't have many friends. I only play a few time a week, (Job,Wife,Small Child)but I would appreciate any friend requests from such an outstanding group like this!

Yes, me. I just sold my 360 about a month ago and now am eagerly waiting for my PS3. My problem was the fact that there was no point paying for live anymore and I was getting bored that no exclusives really interested me.. So when my Live ran out, I sold it to a friend.

Congrats dude, enjoy it :)

Best choice of your life.

Personally you should of blogged it, I mean this is system wars what are you expecting to get out of the responses?

SO what happens in a month or two when you are bored with your PS3 for some lame reason and you realize there is a 360 exclusive you wish you could play? Do you sell your PS3 for another 360 and then make another thread trying to justify it?

My point is that you can save money by buying older excellent games that you haven't played rather than new excellent games that you haven't played. If you haven't played MGS4, it's still new to you so why not save some cash and buy the games you recommended when they're older and cheaper.

That is a danger. I'm certainly going to feel the regrets when ME2 hits stores....

wait... so you sold your 360 because there was something wrong with your internet connection? :|

the problem that you were having had nothing to do with the hardware of the 360

Being that the PS3 is so cheap now, you really should have tried to hold onto the 360. I never recommend selling any system. I sold my SNES, NES, and N64 when I needed money. Man I regret that..well mainly the SNES and NES, I didn't have alot of games for the N64.

I see. Still no need for him to disregard m list. If he wants new great games then I made the right list.

Being that the PS3 is so cheap now, you really should have tried to hold onto the 360, and just bought a PS3. Having all the systems is great. Talk about a wealth of games to play.

I actually sold my 360 for a PS3 in early 2008 and regretted it deeply until i got another 360.

Honestly, if MGS4 had come out on 360 as well ( i know not possible) on June 12th 2008, I would prolly have kept my 360 or sold my PS3 for another one

Its never a good idea. Shouldve just saved up to buy a ps3 instead. You may regret it.

most likely it was the wireless adapter... still not an issue with the actual 360. but hey, either way you cant go wrong

that sums it up.

I'm really considering doing this also. My 360 is just losing its edge and the old, backwards compat PS3s are looking really really nice. :lol:
