What does the 360 have that the PS3 doesn't?

Stick to gaming ;) Making and jokes and guessing people's preferences doesn't seem to be your strong suit.themyth01

And there's no guessing to your lemminghood, sorry :|

[QUOTE="monson21502"][QUOTE="balfe1990"]

Games aside, the PS3 is the clear winner in my eyes.

You'd have to be completely ignorant not to acknowledge that.

There is literally nothing that the 360 does better than the PS3 when you're not talking about games.

The 360 certainly catered to my gaming taste back in 2007 when I wasn't even interested in gaming. Now its library is a barren wasteland with exclusives that are *technically* still AAA such as PDZ. Which is crap by the way.

Playstation has overtaken the 360 in terms of quality and quantity of games. And I'm nearly positive thats a cold,hard fact. Only a real lemming could deny that.

Sometimes the 360 can be a pathetically poor excuse for a "gaming" console. At least when the PS3 "had no games" a few years back, it did other things like Blu-Ray playback and free online blah,blah,blah. Without games, the 360 is an expensive paperweight.

It's true, someone please TRY to combat that statement.

Nothing, other than a sub fee for basic functionality.

Every game on 360 has a better counterpart on ps3 for the most part, while there are a number of games that MS just has no answer for.

Reach / halo 3 / ODST = PS3 has no answer & you said better counterpart for the most part! LOL

Forza 3 - LOL - GT5 half finished, PS2 quality graphics on many cars, recyled trees etc.

Resistance plays exactly like Halo. You should use a different example.

The comment about GT5 is typical regurgitated nonsense that people that haven't played the game would say.

Alot more games, no mandatory installs, a better controller (opinion) and it´s the saffest option for multiplats. Those are the most important reasons for ppl who get a system only to play games.

I've played GT5 and Resistance, Forza 3 is better than GT5 (which is still a fantastic game) imo, and Resistance doesnt even come close to a single Halo game (not counting Wars)

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="themyth01"] Are you talking about the PS3 now?!

My launch PS3 still works perfect and has never had any problems whatsoever. All my friends who own PS3's have never had problems. But the majority of my friends who have 360's had to get a replacement.

As have I, as well as Forza and Halo. Good games, the lot of them. But to ignore the similarities between Resistance and Halo is mind-boggling to me. I'm not even talking about just the thematic overtones of suped up human vs. alien horde, but the gameplay is very similar. Sure, there are different weapons (obviously) and the online modes are different, but they are largely the same game.

I'm not saying Resistance is better than Halo in every way, but the online is much more impressive (though I'm disliking the dop in player count for the 3rd one), with a much larger scale and lag-free online (something I, personally, value very much).

Forza is a great game as far as racers go, but when I played Forza 3 it felt much easier than GT 5 P, and later how 5 felt to me. It had an arcadey element built in to the driving that I noticed. Not saying that's bad, but GT5 is the better sim, and that's the genre of game they are.

And as i said i feel the exact opposite and so do scores. While GT5 and Forza 3 are close in how much i like them (with F3 beating GT5 out) Resistance doesnt even beat Halo: CE in multiplayer and that only had offline multiplayer on the Xbox, Resistance was just bad imo.

Forming one's own conclusions is part of life, and is something everyone should do. I accept the previous poster's conclusions, just as he, hopefully, accepts mine.

In the end, I don't want games to all play alike, because then what's the point. For the record, I don't care for Resistance or Halo, either. I only moderately like GT5, since it's a racer and those aren't my favorite genre, but my plays of these games leads me to these conclusions.

For me the PS3 wins but not for the games. It simply has more in the hardware department. It has everything the 360 has and more. On launch it had wireless and bluetooth while the 360 didn't. The PS3 can play all manner of DVD's along with Blu-Ray's and all the 360 can do is play DVD formats. PS3 has free and a payable online service, giving gamers a choice. PS3 has more compatibility with plug in devices such as webcams etc. The PS3 also gives you more choice and options when connecting Surround sound systems. And more options to optimise picture quality for movies. There are many things like this that makes the PS3 the clear winner. I am not a fanboy by any means as I own both systems and actually really want a gaming PC because that platform is shining these days. I just only ever heard people complain about graphics and framerates but never that much about the hardware and which one offers more.

Much much better interface and Better multiplats. Oh and facebook.

[QUOTE="donalbane"] The built in Wireless for the PS3 doesn't get the same bandwidth as either the add on 360 Wifi or the one built into the 360 S. Verge_6

The Halo series!

(A 10 year old title, wrapped in 5 year old grapics)

Gears Of War

(For how long...)

Forza

(#1 Racer, limited appeal in the 360 userbase)

Mass Eff ... Oh yeah

To be frank I'm honestly starting to feel a little bad for the 360. At first the whole "no exclusives" thing was kinda a joke. Now I'm looking for reasons not to sell it.

Pray_to_me

Well considering most games are mutliplatform titles, and multiplatform titles generally preform best on the 360, I'd say you have a whole lot of reasons to hold on to the 360.

There's no doubt that the ps3 has the better hardware but the 360 has the better support: it makes sense when you look at what made those companies famous. So while it may not have as many features as the ps3, those features the 360 does have work, and work consistently. It's the 360 itself that doesn't work consistently.

Features like Custom Soundtrack. Sure I have a few games on the ps3 that support the custom soundtrack function but for some reason the games that really need it, don't have it. And that's annoying.

It's too bad we couldn't get a console this gen that had both good hardware and good support. They're both major disappointment's in my opinion.
