Why you should buy Battlefield 3 for the XBOX 360 (Planetxbox360.com)

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] doesnt matter. i bought the game, i should be able to play online against people for free going by your logicmems_1224

You obviously missed my point.

My point couldn't have been any clearer. Why choose a service with a subscription fee when there are other FREE services (which are unarguably better), that basically offers the same thing.

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="THE_Rob_Himself"]

so basically what your saying is

you wouldn't pay even $1 a year for a superior service because all you want is bare-bones online play?

personally, I do care, so having psn free doesnt mean the game is better on ps3

mems_1224

I don't think it would make sense for steam to charge $1 a year :| Steam is free and it's a way better service than XBL. Why pay for the inferior service?

Well, they will just have to settle with the vastly inferior service then.

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] your point was that if you buy a game you should be able to play online for free. so you agree its unfair to have to pay DCUO online on ps3?? i bought the game, it should be free right? why should i have to pay?mems_1224

The fact that PSN doesn't charge puts it above, IMO.

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] because not everyone has a good enough pc to play games or wants one? :|mems_1224

Well, they will have to settle with the vastly inferior service then.

Well, not everyone wants to pay to play their games online...

The fact that PSN doesn't charge puts it above, IMO.

Well, that's your opinion. IMO(and experience), it isn't any of that.

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]well they dont have to use psn, they could always use xbl which isn't that much worse than steammems_1224

PSN also allows you to play with other people....

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] not when its slow and cumbersome and really annoying to usemems_1224

Well, that's your opinion. IMO(and experince), it isn't any of that.

Under specific circumstances, updates CAN be slow, and what's wrong with firmwares? Do you not like it when your system gets improved? The bolded part doesn't make sense to me, playing with other people defeats the purpose of "cross" game chat. Also, i think i'm not the only one that believes that XBL is not worth it...

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] right and the ps3 is there for those people. but those that like to play games with other people, which most people do, the 360 is the obvious choice.mems_1224

PSN also allows you to play with other people....

And that analogy is totally ridiculous and inacurate.... PSN offers almost everything XBL does, for FREE. So would you rather pay full price for a Brand new Ferrari, or have a Banged up ferrari absolutely free?

I'm not going to try to convince you that that analogy is flawed.:roll:

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] and a lot slower so the analogy fits. both get you where you want to go but the Ferrari is much much faster. it was a pretty simple analogy :|percech

I'm not going to try to convince you that that analogy is flawed.:roll:

The only thing PSN doesn't offer is cross game chat, and that hardly justifies the fee. The security breach was very unfortunate, but it could happen to any service. Why is the new TOS a joke? I mean no CA lawsuits but you can still sue :| Also, care to explain how the service is a downgrade?

it also doesnt have private chat while in a game, italking to just one (or many) of your friends rather than everyone in the game. XBL party system is very useful in online gaming. for this feature i'm willing to spend 16 cents / day :lol:

[QUOTE="el3m2tigre"]

[QUOTE="percech"] PSN doesn't even offer half the things XBL does...even on XBL Silver. I got sick of paying for Gold because I couldn't afford so I got a PS3 for certain games I care for playing online. The online play itself isn't really bad(then again I don't really play online much), but the actual service in general is a huge downgrade in comparison. Not to mention the security breach, and Sony's new terms of service is an utter joke.percech

-You mean the system that came out first has more arcade games. Nooo get out of here

-Yea give you that

-Not really. Just cant play games online

-cant comment dont know

-ill give you that

- Stat facts not opinions

-The plus stuff is mainlly price difference/early demos and betas. Thats the point of it. It doesint make it a negative.Since most of the time the early demos/betas open to everyone. Heck if you want to play that card live makes online play exclusive compared to silver users. What seems like the biggest problem.

-There were changes you can easly see from launch till now. Having one not occure often doesint count as a negative.

-Again yea has more content it was out first no shock. Also again stop stating opinions. its not fact it feels empty and boring.

In your dreams ( to da artical :P ), PS3 is the only system i would get it on

Free online? Free game with BF3 PS3? early DLC? footage already seen and is being marketed crazy by EA on PS3? win win and what? more win!

leave 360 for the 1 exclusive it has this year :P

was bumping this really necessary?

Better question would be why you would play BF3 on consoles.

The 360 is probably the WORST system to buy BF3. Worse community, $60 for XBL, AA batteries. I refuse to play the game on consoles though, they won't do it justice.

well repeat that to someone with no IT knowledge whatsover and look at their face when you are done speaking. My bet is you will get a dumb f*** look and they will ask you to set the bloody thing up been there done that. Most of my mates arent exactly smart and they all play console games. Just telling you how it is in the real world, which is the majority of the population unfortunately. Evo_nine

as for this thread ... the 360 doesn't even have a web browser and requires a gold account to use applications that should be free. What the hell is it even good for ? It can't even run games like BF3 at its definitive resolution. Instead you have pre-configured display settings are low res.

PC version for the 64 player, pretty much best shooter on PC

Would not get it on PS3, get MAG instead and wait for Starhawk

On 360, get MW3, that's your best shooter.

Also technically PSN is better than XBL

PSN = dedicated servers

XBL = peer-to-peer + chat

Up to you whether you want to voice chat with people, or have a good connection to the game.

Simple fix. Go into your sound settings and pick the HDMI device as your default device. Like this.

Just make the Nvidia high def audio device the default device.
