Thinking to swapping to PS3 from Xbox 360.

I think for someone unlucky like you (4-5 times RROD), you would have switched a long time ago.HAZE-Unit

No no, I didn't get the RROD 4-5 times. Actually, my 2nd Xbox had it the fisrt time I turned it on, but that was the only time. The others were just simply defective.

ur full of it...4th or 5th xbox my ass. mine and all my friends xbox are fine...my disc drive makes a wierd noise a lot of the time but no other issues at all.acidfiend

Oh my god you're right. Since you have been a close personal friend of mine and you've been right next to me, clearly viewing all that happens in my life, there's no way you could possibly be wrong. You have all the obvious proof present to prove that I didn't in fact take my defective Xbox 360's in 4 or 5 times. Good job "acidfiend"

Heehee...don't worry pal, lems are like that. I have been lucky to not get RROD yet.
Still, I do know alot of people. I personally say go fora PS3 now. The exclusives are building and it has multiplats. I would also not give up on 360, maybe hold out for the new 32 nm chips to go out.

I had a... "quirky" 360 in mid-06, no RROD's but tons of other errors for the 15 months or so I owned it. Kept giving me E74 errors, usually had to power it on and off like 5x before I got a picture. Hard drive kind of seemed to be dying too. M$ support wasn't much help, and GameCrazy wouldn't honor the service plan on it while it was still under warranty. Finally I got a service plan swap, and upgraded to an Elite, but by then I could really have cared less. I already had gotten a Ps3 by then and started realizing how badass a console it is.

It's definitely alot more stable than the 360. Feels alot more sturdy, like some kind of futuristic home entertainment device. Not to mention it's quiet, it's like dead silent most of the time compared to the jet the 360 is. I've run into a few Ps3 quirks, but nothing too major. A couple of times when I booted it my settings cleared. Might have been an HDMI issue tho.

I was going to keep my 360 around for exclusives, but the way my house is set up now I can't run a cable to it anymore, so after looking into the $100 Wi-fi adapter, I decided it was time to let go. Sold it to a friend as a lot (I had like 14 360 games) and invested in a few more Ps3 games.

Great to hear, thanks for the reply :) Just one last thing ... There's no way in hell I can afford an HDTV. No way in hell. Does it really make that big a difference? I obviously care about how it looks, but what I saw with an Xbox 360 (the difference between a standard TV and a normal TV) was a little minor. But I did notice that the text on my normal TV was near impossible to read on some games (like Gears of War).

Is there any possibility of me hooking my PS3 up to my computer monitor? 'cause I can tell you right now...I get a much better...MUCH better picture on my PC's monitor (non-high def monitor though) -- and would that be as easy as hooking it up to the TV? Thanks.

E-74 is HDD problems right?

Yeah, I got that alot with my first HDD. It sucked alot, why did they make it so faulty?

You are still unlucky, lol, I meant if you saw your hardware is defected for the 3rd time, why didn't you try the other hardware which is PS3?

For me, if my console shuts down for the 3rd, or even 2nd time, I'll switch.

The real question is ... am I unlucky, or is Microsoft just dumb when making these?

If I do get a PS3 any time soon, I prolly won't buy too many games since it's lacking a lot of the genre I care about -- or for that matter, games in general. But I have faith that next year we shant be disappointed. It's not like I can't just play my old PS2 / PS1 classics anyway.

Question(s): I already asked this but nobody answered. There's no way in hell I can afford an HDTV. No way in hell. Not a chance. No way around that fact. Do I honestly need an HDTV to enjoy the PS3's graphics? Also, is it an easy task to plug my PS3 into my PC's monitor? I believe my PC's monitor has a much better display than my TV (though it's non-HD / non-widescreen).

My PS3's Blu-ray Player stopped reading discs, so I had to use my Best Buy PRP. There are issues, but not nearly as many as the Xbox 360. If you want to read about the issue, go here: http://www.ripten.com/2007/11/30/ps3-turns-into-useless-brick-after-firmware-update-201/

Look, go with 60GB or 80GB to play all of PS1,PS2 games, if you go with the 40GB, you won't play PS2 games.

As for the HDTV part, it is needed, I have a PS3 and HDTV, my bro have PS3 and SDTV, there is a big difference, HDTV is more needed with PS3 than 360, I don't see much different when I play on 360, only handful of games.

I think you will find a cable that connects the PS3 with PC montiors.

Again Widescreen will make it better experience and it has to be HD also, the PS store interface is different form SDTV to HDTV.

But it doesn't mean you will not enjoy the games though, it is still enjoyable with SDTVs. ;)

Well it can't be that needed. My TV is an LCD flatscreen...just not HDTV. I may get one in the future, and I may not. But as of right now and 6 months into the future (at least), there's no possible way in hell I will be able to afford one of those TVs. No chance with them priced so high.

Isn't the PC monitor different than the TV that I have now? Wouldn't it be a better choice and produce a better picture than my LCD TV?

no dont! the ps3 has like no games and no good exclusives! the 360 is way better if you want the good games and supirior exclusives.Rikusaki

ok fakeboy apperently you love gt5.

No, no, I meant make comparison between your LCD and your PC monitor.

As for an LCD HDTV , I think in 6 months is the best time to buy one, it will be cheaper because it will be standard and ofcourse it would better, it is high definition with widescreen, I think you would enjoy playing, watching TV or connecting your PC with this big HDTV.

If you find a cheap LCD HDTV from sharp at the time you will buy one, you will get the best HDTV, Sharp is the best out there.

Samsung, LG and Sony comes second.

And don't worry about money, it is always gonna be wasted, I waste money for my enjoyment in life, it is the best deal out there, don't regret wasting money, it will come fast and go faster. ;)

DONT ASK HERE you will get completely biased answers.

Ill tell you one thing though...ps3 IS much more reliable than 360...what games u want to see on your system is what u should think about before making the switch..

It's obviously the more stable hardware, no one will dispute this. The rest is up to you to decide.D3monchicken

Agreed...

cows get sensitive when you say the PS3 has no games

i guess a more ccurate statement would be that the PS3 has crap exclusives and inferior multiplatform games

Well my current TV is really awful anyway. I'm just going to leave it at that. If I don't get an HDTV, I really need a new TV if I'm gunna continue playing a console. Is a widescreen LCD (standard definition) good enough? I really don't want to buy an HDTV unless I absolutely have to. They're just too much money (for me -- I only get paid minimum wage).

I think it's enough, I'll say it again, you still can enjoy the games, don't worry about a thing, in a matter of fact, Im a bit angry when I play Halo 3 in co-op mode, I can't play full screen, there is alot of black space from the both sides of the screen, I don't know why?

PS3 is a hundred times more reliable then 360 and if you are on you 4th 360 I suggest you sell that crap and get yourself a PS3.

PS3 has free online, a blue ray player and a well built machine with lots of features. Next year PS3 will show what it's made of with killer app games and the release of PS Home

I think all this xbox 360 breaking is nothing but fabrications

mine has been running fine for months and months and compared to the "feel" of both consoles 360 feels like its better quality

SegArgyle

They are not all fabrications. My 360, made in May '06 and bought Oct. '06, runs absolutely perfectly, it's never even so much as crashed, and is cooler than several other pieces of electronics I own. That being said, I work with a guy on his 4th. I can hardly believe it either, but there it is. His fourth.

After having 4 or 5 systems break on you, you'd be completely insane not to switch. Just buy COD4 on PS3 and you're off to the races.

The PS3 almost never breaks.

First of all I have my PC for first person shooters like CoD 4.

Secondly I hate CoD 4 and Infinity Ward with a burning, seething passion.

It sounds like the PS3 was made like the PS2, but obviously the next step. I had tons of friends who owned PS2's and I never heard of any of theirs breaking. I owned a PS2 also and it always remained in perfect condition.

im on my 3rd. Every time it freezes and i have to restart my console, i get nervous, waiting to see if the 3 red lights will appear. No customer should EVER be scared to turn on their product in fear of defection, EVER!

But switching from 360 to Ps3? Did you see the sales numbers for each software and hardware? Many devs will stop developing for the PS3 or go multiplat with the 360 (MGS4 and other PS3 current exclusives) because you cant make money solely on the PS3

All Ps3 exclusives are average at best and the rest can also be found on the 360, most in which are better versions...

[QUOTE="ff7isnumbaone"][QUOTE="thenycest1_b_basic"][QUOTE="ff7isnumbaone"]

[QUOTE="the_h_bomb"]the ps3 has no gamesIronfungus

so true. resistance, warhawk,R&C, hevenly sword, cod4, ut3 and uncharted are all only pc/360. lol. Theres nothing but blu-ray movies on the ps3.

ur a tart.

ps3 is a good buy for its worth

500 dollars for the 80 gb w/ motorstorm + 5 blu rays movies is a STEAL

even if u buy the 500$ 60gb is worth it,

the 400$ if ur on a budget.

and with the most promising 2008-2009 lineup. its really a good time to buy the ps3.

my advice... see how much the trade in value is , since ur going to gamestop i think its very low.

keep ur xbox360 see if u can purchase more warranty (since it can rrod anytime, longer warranty the better)

then save up for that ps3 and make the plunge

trust me. the second u take it out and put it on a table, u'll be like 'whoa, so this is the ps3'

its a sexy thing, seriously... and it runs quiet.

on the part about games? on the current market u got decent games like resistance, bunch of demos to test out games, heavenly sword, ratchet and clank , uncharted, ridge racer 7, tekken 5 dark resurrection, and best but not least the whole ps2 library.

so 360 cows. who got no games?

your talking to the other guy right?

Dunno, I can't really understand him.

Another question of mine is the PS3 crowd. The whole "gamer crowd" kind of speaks for itself at times, but each unique crowd is different than the other.

For example...what I've gathered about the Wii crowd (I used to own a Wii and was involved) is that it's more childish than the other consoles.

The PC crowd is more mature and adult since those type of people generally only know how to build PCs.

The Xbox 360 crowd is a mix between children (ages 11-15) and adults -- but the majority of players I encounter on Xbox Live consist of obnoxious, unfriendly / unpleasant individuals with the intentions solely to annoy and/or offend.

I don't know anything about the PS3 crowd, though. Could someone lend me their insight?

As for reliablity, the PS3 is widely agreed to very stable. The only problems I have experianced with my PS3 is the occassional freezing, but rarely(like less than 1%) will it just die on you. The 360 has a 33% failure rate on the other hand.

Gamewise the PS3 is fine, it has all the worthwhile multiplats the 360 has and a more varied exlcusive line-up. You wouldnt be wasting your money if you decide to trade in your 360 for it.

All Ps3 exclusives are average at best and the rest can also be found on the 360, most in which are better versions...

What i'm saying is i don't get caught up in the hype, i play games for games and not for the score. Just enjoy games is all i'm saying. People say the ps3 has no games when it clearly has some top top games.

E-74 is HDD problems right?

Yeah, I got that alot with my first HDD. It sucked alot, why did they make it so faulty?

I think all this xbox 360 breaking is nothing but fabrications

mine has been running fine for months and months and compared to the "feel" of both consoles 360 feels like its better quality

im on my 3rd. Every time it freezes and i have to restart my console, i get nervous, waiting to see if the 3 red lights will appear. No customer should EVER be scared to turn on their product in fear of defection, EVER!

But switching from 360 to Ps3? Did you see the sales numbers for each software and hardware? Many devs will stop developing for the PS3 or go multiplat with the 360 (MGS4 and other PS3 current exclusives) because you cant make money solely on the PS3

ok so he shouldn't switch because of your speculations.Which are wrong. have you seen 360 japanese sales. there down the toliet as well. oh, japan doesn't matter because only america counts since it the only country the 360 sales well in. just because you put a game on the 360 doesn'r mean it will sell a lot. Lost odyssey for example.

I'm just merely thinking about this. Doesn't do any harm to think, right? First I'm going to say this: I'm on my 4th or 5th Xbox 360.I'm not doing anything wrong with these systems. I'm plugging it in (directly into the wall, not a power strip), hooking it to my TV, inserting game, and running it. That's all I'm doing. I play my PC more than I play my Xbox and somehow, it still manages to break.

So, with the good exclusives planned for the PS3 I was thinking about switching over to that -- but I had this question to ask: Is the PS3 any more stable than the Xbox 360? Every other thread I seem to notice in the Xbox 360 forum is "omg, red rings of deat" and what not. I will really consider moving to the PS3 if I, indeed, will not have any problems with it like I always have with the Xbox 360.

I'm not bashing the Xbox 360. I'm just trying to say that I'm having seemingly non-stop problems with it. So I ask you (mainly PS3 owners/former owners) about the stability that I will get if I buy a PS3. Thanks!

Latest estimates said 1%. That was a while ago. Expect it to be even better at this point or at least similar. Good ballpark.

I've certainly never heard of a broken PS3.

I find it funny when people just look at the score of a game thinking anything under a 9 is bad. The scores don't matter, I read reviews and see if I would like it. I have played a few games with good scores from GS and hated them, and I have played some games with bad scores and loved them. I find the scoring system flawed because one person giving a game a score does not reflect every gamer. Only a fool determines what game to buy by only looking at its score!

I think the ps3 has loads of good games, and lots more to come, stuff gamespot and their review system, when killzone 2 comes out I will be buying it on release day regardless of whether it geta a 10 or a 3.

While the RROD was a REAL thing and a REAL problem for anyone to believe ALL of the RROD reports still coming out is a little bit of a stretch. Some people fial to realize there are such things called lies and liars simply those who want to say something like this.

"I'm on my sixth Xbox now"

Don't always believe what you read ESPEICALLY on the internet.

I dont understand why 360 owners are so quick to defend its hardware. One kid on here actually said "Me and my friends have never RROD and weve been playing for a year. It makes a wierd noise but thats my only complaint." Are you kidding me? If my ps3 did anything like that I would have taken it back immediatly. Some people are such lemmings, they confuse the investing in a product with selling your soul to a company. Also people that bash the ps3 hardly give any good points. Its always it doesnt have any good games or its too much money. Thats like saying get a 360 cuz the fail rates extremely low, just lying. PS3 does have games, it has exclusives, and they are only getting better. It ranges from 400 w/ a blu-ray to 500 w/ a game, extremely reasonable pricing. Great system with great games and great dependability. Fact.

cows get sensitive when you say the PS3 has no games

i guess a more ccurate statement would be that the PS3 has crap exclusives and inferior multiplatform games

the_h_bomb

Yep COD4, Assassin's Creed, Burnout are crap. Yep, keep telling yourself that and sooner or later people still won't believe you.

if you cant get a good one then switch, mine has had no problems for the two years i've owned it
