http://www.planetxbox360.com/article_16770/30_FPS_Who_Cares_Why_You_Should_Buy_Battlefield_3_for_the_Xbox_360 Completely biased article about superior xbl, superior controller made for FPS, faster dlc download speed, etcrich-sac

Heh it is a beautiful article... I picked some of the choicest quotes.


30 FPS... Who Cares?!

network outages, which have become a common occurrence for PSN

have fun waiting for several hours while the content downloads at a snail's pace

minute group of people that actually have a solid group on online PSN friends that all have mics and can meet up at the same time

the DualShock 3... a controller that is vastly inferior to the 360's when playing first person shooters

But let's not forget that the game was running on a PC that probably costs several thousands of dollars, a rig that you likely don't have

chances are it will likely look about the same as the 360 version

those who make the 60 frames-per second argument for picking up the PC version are grasping at straws


Plus, I bet you the average person wouldn't even be able to tell the differencearticle


I give it 9/10 for trolling.

While we're at that let's go ask Sony Defence Force what they think of every Xbox 360 exclusive or what Fox News thinks about liberals and videogames.

I'll get it on the Xbox because I want to play with real friends. If they owned the PS3 I'd get it there. Graphics, DLC Speed, Controller < Having a good laugh with friends.

What? The 360 has very few exclusives this year as it is, but you hate it that much that you still have to lie about how many it will actually have?.

Good god man, get out more.

While I do prefer the 360's gamepad, as uncomfortable as the Dualshock 3 may be, I still think it crushes the 360's controller when it comes to shooters.

I really don't understand why everyone has to be so concerned about who is playing battlefield 3 on what system. Personally, I have never been much of a pc gamer, and I own a 360. So therefore, I will get if for that system. But, every time I try to post on the battlefield 3 forums or anywhere else and try to have a normal discussion about the game, someone has to reply to every post and basically tell me that I'm stupid for even trying to talk about it if I'm not a pc gamer. I know it is going to be superior on the pc, but everyone that has to reply with " have fun with your console kiddies" really needs to grow up because it will be a great game no matter what you play it on.

Fail. There's nothing superior about AA batteries and goldmember feesPray_to_me

Well, we don't use AA batteries so that goes to show what you know. It's called a rechargable battery pack my man. Plug it in and it recharges while you play or while the system is off.

The biggest reason to get the 360(or PS3)version though is to avoid that Origin crap that's stuck with the PC version.

Yeah uh no. I'm just going to get on PC with my superior graphics 64 multiplayer + extra vehicles in conquest mode and 32 players for everything else. Not to mention I can use any controller layout of my choice and that precious 360 controller.

Plus, I bet you the average person wouldn't even be able to tell the difference (between 60 fps and 30 fps)article

These two I can agree with. Other stuff is hilarious. Probably they were forced to do that article by MS or something.

Confirmed via gamepro AA batteries provide 40 more hours or so over the dualshock 3, So hard up to save money? get some rechagables Energizier has lithium rechargable AA batteries.
Battery pack? I believe its something like 50 more hours then oldshock3.

Battlefield sucks now the last good one was battlefield 2 moderncombat but of course since I'm correcting folks trying to claim the oldshock3 has better battery life or because its rechargable that makes it a better value...One can easily find high mah rechargable AA's that will work great in the 360 controller and then you have the play and charge kit battery pack... which can be found cheap or even cheap with the wireless controller.

No need to deny this fact nothing at all was even mentioned about battlefield 3.

*laughs hard* Gamepro is your source? Ok.... I'm done. Lolultraking


Rmember folks Gamepro is a completely illigetimate source hasn't been around longer then any other gaming magazine and its of course not easy to test these things. I mean hell its so amazingly hard to run the controllers till they stop responding and lose power alright...It took gamepro 5 million years alonejust to do that... *criteria was to run the controllers till they ran out of battery power the sign of their loss of battery power was the controllers failing to connect 3 times to the console*

Your inability to prove me wrong on the point is belied by your words. But I do thank you for admiting I'm right the 360 controller has superior battery longevity.

Those battery packs are crap, one of mine have already overcharged and I barely even used the thing. I have friends in the same situation.

Also, using Origin is a very very small sacrifice for playing a game that will be completely different, ala 64 players, much better graphics, better FPS, etc.

but isn't it usually the case for most multiplats? aren't those arguments true? xbl > psn? X360 controller > PS3 controller for all genres except fighting? X360 graphics > PS3 graphics (albeit slightly according to John Carmack)

BF3 is gonna sell better on the 360, just like every other major multiplatform FPS. Why would Dice waste their efforts in making the PS3 version graphically superior to the 360 version when it wont sell as well. Sound like a complete waste of resources.

BF3 is gonna sell better on the 360, just like every other major multiplatform FPS. Why would Dice waste their efforts in making the PS3 version graphically superior to the 360 version when it wont sell as well. Sound like a complete waste of resources.Crystal-Rush

You're right, they shouldn't even bother with the consoles because it's going to sell the most on PC.

Oh--That's right, they didn't. ;)
