Great, so you're argument is that you don't need a $250 360 since you have a $300 PS3 + a minimum $500 PC. Well done, I think we can all stipulate that 2 systems are better than one. Did you also know that a Wii + 360 has far more AAAEs than the PS3?

Actually both the ps3 and 360 are $300. And the pc version is better

I agree, we all have PCs. And it is therefore valid that anyone can claim that they can play ME on said PC. However, this therefore requires one to admit that they need a $300 PS3 + a minimum $500 PC in order to counter a $250 360.

For the record, you don't need to spend that much money on a PC for it to play modern games. And since everyone needs a PC, I don't see why they wouldn't

I think the problem is that people want to restrict the views to help their argument or justify their purchase. My opinion.... 1. Look at a systems entire library. This includes all games. 2. Look at all the systems as a whole. Don't try to cut any out to create "exclusives". Also, don't disregard a game for not being exclusive. #1 solves the exclusive mumbo jumbo anyways. Now, I know that this is just plain unreasonable for a lot of reasons but it's just the way I feel. I always look at the situation of "what to buy" in so many ways, if the problem is simplified like it is most of the time in SW then we lose sight of a genuine answer.

Yes, but that PC still cost money. You had to pay for it somewhere. Therefore, someone arguing that they have a PS3 and can play 360 titles on their PC would need to include the cost of their PC in the argument.

The same cost as paying for LIVE, wireless adapter, different batteries/charger kits, another 360 because it breaks and another game because the 360 tends to scratch the discs

Yeah, I get that. But I'm saying that everyone has a PC anyway, so even those 360 owners have a PC. I mean, everyone has one! Regardless of whether you want to play games on it or not. But if you know how and where to buy, you can get one that plays games for cheaper than that computer at Costco or Futureshop. So I don't think that should really count in their arguement

And that is a valid statement as well. However, the main difference, I think, is that we rarely see lemmings praising any games other than their own. That is it. You never hear them talking about PC titles, or PS3 titles. It is almost always cows who inevitably jump at the chance to state they can play it on a computer. If cows (and of course this really only applies to the rabid ones of course) are going to immediately hide behind the PC, then they should have to hide behind it all, including the cost of the PC. And the fact that everyone has one may or may not apply. Even if you bought a computer a year ago for purposes other than gaming, the fact remains that cows are "supposedly" playing all these wonderful games on them. That PC cost them money.

$250 360? You telling me that you'll play L4D2 without XBL? online co-op is what makes L4D2 good.

Do everyone a favor and drop out of this thread. Your senseless trolling attempts with quoting wireless adapters (not needed) and taking shots at a broken console do not contribute to the discussion at hand in any way.

They are fanboys, and they have the right to bash the opposing console. Didnt lemmings did this when the PS3 wasnt out yet?

Of course they did. That is what makes this place so fun. :) However, they did not hide behind another system. It was just their 360 against a PS3. They did not hide behind the PC.

I guess that is true. The whole reason I upgraded my PC was to play Mass Effect, and that was before I had a 360 =P

you cant exclude the PC its a gaming system.

the PS3 on its own has better exclusives than 360. exclusives are made better on PS3 like how uncharted2 is console graphics king. PS3 exclusives arent on PC.

for multiplats some are better on PS3 and some are better on 360. for as far as exclusives PS3 is where its at

sillaris

its pretty ironic that you want to include the PC in an argument to make the 360 look worse off, but then turn right around and exclude the PC to determine that Uncharted 2 is graphic king to make the PS3 look better off.

Well, everyone has a PC. It cost me under $100 Canadian to upgrade my old PC To play games like Mass Effect on Med settings, with no hitches. It barely costs anything to upgrade ur PC, you just have to know howmgkennedy5
thats not true. not everyone owns a PC. and until they start giving them away for free not everyone will. i got my first PC last year and ive been gaming for 20 plus years. i did use my roomates from time to time.

Okay, I realize not EVERYONE has one, but the majority. Everyone I know has one at least. Sorry I should not have made such a general statement. I assume that everyone on this board must have a PC, unless they're using in Iphone or something

im not bashing you man. on the flip side, most of the gamers i know DONT own a PC. and if they do the last thing they think to use it for is gaming. everyones different i guess. i do plan on upgrading mine in the near future, but mostly for PC only games like Diablo 3 and The Old Republic. i dunno maybe then i,ll play more console type games on it.

I don't use the wireless adapter on my 360, and yet I still play online. I never once had a disc sctratched by my 360, and one time it got RRoD, it got repaired for FREE, so I didn't pay for a second console. You trying to pass off your argument as "fact" is completely illegitimate, and didn't at all contribute anything relevant to the topic at hand. Oh and it sure as HELL can't be compared to WWII history! I'd say the accusation of trolling still stands in your case.

Yes, but that argument would not apply to the scenario you presented. The PS3 was not out yet. Therefore, they were not using the PS3 to surf the web. However you are correct. At some point, a few knucklehead lemmings decided to knock the PS3 web browser feature by using the PC. That was only for a brief time though. The games debate will rage on forever. Of course now, I hear cows say all the time that the web browser is impractical on the PS3. I cannot verify this myself though.

Fanboy much? No 360 owner HAS to have a wireless adapter to play ME. But a PS3 owner HAS to buy a PC to play it....

I agree, we all have PCs. And it is therefore valid that anyone can claim that they can play ME on said PC. However, this therefore requires one to admit that they need a $300 PS3 + a minimum $500 PC in order to counter a $250 360.

For the record, you don't need to spend that much money on a PC for it to play modern games. And since everyone needs a PC, I don't see why they wouldn't

By show of hands, who here is gaming on a $200 PC?

You and your one 360 does NOT represent the 15+ million user base and 31+ million 360s that had got messed up by the RROD, disc scratching and no use of Wireless adapter it. Its 54% and unacceptable. How can MS revolutionize the gaming industry when they can't even do the simplest thing like making a console work?

The same cost as paying for LIVE, wireless adapter, different batteries/charger kits, another 360 because it breaks and another game because the 360 tends to scratch the discs

Fanboy much? No 360 owner HAS to have a wireless adapter to play ME. But a PS3 owner HAS to buy a PC to play it....

Not a fanboy , I love the 360 games, I just hate the hardware and outrageous requirements

[QUOTE="lespaul00"][QUOTE="mgkennedy5"] For the record, you don't need to spend that much money on a PC for it to play modern games. And since everyone needs a PC, I don't see why they wouldn'tmgkennedy5
Yes, but that PC still cost money. You had to pay for it somewhere. Therefore, someone arguing that they have a PS3 and can play 360 titles on their PC would need to include the cost of their PC in the argument.

Yeah, I get that. But I'm saying that everyone has a PC anyway, so even those 360 owners have a PC. I mean, everyone has one! Regardless of whether you want to play games on it or not. But if you know how and where to buy, you can get one that plays games for cheaper than that computer at Costco or Futureshop. So I don't think that should really count in their arguement

If the fact that everyone "has" a computer means that we don't need to factor their price into the cost of gaming, this means that every Hermit on this site is gaming for free. Yet the most common argument used by all console gamers against Hermits is the cost of PC gaming. But now, because it aids the PS3, this is not only NOT an issue, but we now must consider all PC gaming completely free? Someone needs to tell the Hermits about this late breaking development... allow me. ATTENTION ALL PC GAMERS!!! GAMING ON YOUR PC IS NOW ABSOLUTELY SCOT FREE!!! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!! FREEEEEEEEE!!!! Is that really an argument you think makes logical sense?

Is this thread still running??

Let's end it now:

  • When the Font is Bolded and size "14 pt", on the OP, then the two consoles ONLY must be discussed. Any other consoles discussed, will make such argument moot.

Excuse me, but trolling? These are facts. How in the world can I be trolling? Its like I come in and say that Hitler killed millions of Jews, which HE DID. So tell me, how is that "trolling" ?Pices

I don't use the wireless adapter on my 360, and yet I still play online. I never once had a disc sctratched by my 360, and one time it got RRoD, it got repaired for FREE, so I didn't pay for a second console. You trying to pass off your argument as "fact" is completely illegitimate, and can no way be compared to WWII history. I'd say the accusation of trolling still stands in your case.

You and your one 360 does NOT represent the 15+ million user base and 31+ million 360s that had got messed up by the RROD, disc scratching and no use of Wireless adapter it. Its 54% and unacceptable. How can MS revolutionize the gaming industry when they can't even do the simplest thing like making a console work?

Actually, not paying for repairs/replacement is the norm, not an outlier. You own a 360 yet you don't know this? Weird.

Pulling numbers out of your arse just completely discredited you, if there was any to begin with. Even though high, you don't know what the actual failure rate is, no one does with any accuracy. And once again, you CAN'T claim that all users who's consoles broke down went out and bought another one, not when MS repairs them for FREE (which of course you used to skew the 360 user base down to 15M).

You really should just give this up already. If failure was bricks, yours would out stretch the wall of China.

Wireless adaptor is not a requirement. Buying another system rather than using the 3 year warranty is not a requirement. Live is not a requirement. A PC most certainly is a requirement for a PS3 owner who wants to play ME...

[QUOTE="lespaul00"][QUOTE="def_mode"] They are fanboys, and they have the right to bash the opposing console. Didnt lemmings did this when the PS3 wasnt out yet?def_mode

Of course they did. That is what makes this place so fun. :) However, they did not hide behind another system. It was just their 360 against a PS3. They did not hide behind the PC.

Yup they do. Remember the:

Fanboy1: i can surf the web on my PS3!

Fanboy2: lol, if i want to surf the web ill use my PC.

Short lived arguments by a few rabid fanbots does not equate to massive and continual nonsense spewed daily, including inside this very thread.

i think he was trying to say that you DONT pay for a replacement. they fix it for free so why would you pay for a new 360. my warranty is up and they still repaired mine for free. its a pain in the butt but at least i didnt get charged.

Oh, I see. You have specific restrictions in your life. Well then, to paraphrase your own post, your one situation does not represent the tens of millions of users who own a current gen console. As for the rest, you spoke of REQUIREMENTS and I answered back about requirements. Are you now trying to change your point?

On the second part, nobody likes the 360 failure rate. But you still haven't been able to justify your claim that all owners have actually gone out and paid for a replacement, when MS offers free repairs.

On the first part... ummmm yeah.... you just shouldn't talk as though you're in the position to "look down" on anybody here. :roll::roll:

A lot of the problem is that a game like Mass Effect will be compared to a game like Uncharted 2. One is a game that is on TWO platforms and people who own a PC or a 360 can play and the other is a game you HAVE to buy a PS3 to play, that's it. If MS fanboys really care so much about the stupid SW's point game then they have to realize that 360/PC multiplats don't count as much in their favor as a 360 only exclusive, and should not be compared to a PS3 exclusive. Here are the arguments 360 fanboy argument - 360 exclusives plus 360/PC multiplats vs. PS3 exclusives - 360 + PC vs. PS3 so PS3 fanboys rightfully so bring up the PC MS fanboys wanna ignore and the argument becomes: PS3 fanboy arguement - 360 exclusives plus PC vs. PS3 exclusives plus PC - (the PC games negate and you have) 360 exclusives vs. PS3 exclusives At the end of the day exclusives are the games that people use to determine which system to chose and MS fanboys shouldn't use games that arent exclusives to brag about their libraries superiority.

Exclusives are what some use to choose systems. However, this is not a blanket statement that is universally true. It is very conceivable that some have chosen the 360 over the PS3 because of a multiplat like ME, and this is a completely valid choice. Therefore, it is valid to use said game(s) to discuss and compare libraries. I'm fine with not calling them exclusives, but to say that they shouldn't be mentioned at all? Nonsense.

Just as a quick aside, do you know what the single biggest factor was in my buying a PS3? MLB09. Not an exclusive... how can this be?!!!

its funny to see all the hypocrit remarks cows make. they say this is system war not console war. but when it comes to graphic king. they exclude pc. Well guess what cows, theres is no such thing as console graphic king. As this is "System war"

or when they do exclusive comparison they dont list down pc exclusives. they only want to compare with xbox 360.

2uneek4u
I see it both ways and the 360 fans are those who do not seem to want to include PC when it comes to "exclusives" more often than not so far as I have noticed.
