A gaming console should be capable of running non stop without breaking down. Unlike pc's which are made from tons of components from different companies, and the user MUST BE SURE that the components are compativle etc, fans strong enough etc. a console is made by one company (indeed, components from different companies) and thus they should perfect it's realiability AT LEAST.

The fact that 2 years after 360 launched they did not fix this SHAMEFULL and PATHETIC RROD, is outrageous

More outrageous is the fact that people would actually DEFEND Micrsoft for ... making 360 unreliable (about 33% rate of failure)

And statements lik "you should know about rrd and how to position it in Antarctica etc" is plain rubbish. What should be said is "i wanna play my console all nightt and all day and put it wherever i want to put it, just like i do with my pc/laptop or dvd player"

I got my ps3 for hannukah (that like a coupe of weeks before christmas), and it stayed closed maximum 96 hours in total. Most of the time it stayed oppened because when not playing i let it work on Folding@Home automatically

Hopefully true since this will force MS to cut the price as well. I'll get an Xbox 360 earlier than expected in other words :DToScA-

LMAO :)))...oh well....getting a 360 in 08 is not the best thing 2 do, but hoping M$ (the money vampires software) will drop the price as well....that's a bit sad

Well, UT3 on PS3 can be played using KB and MOUSE (any ms and kb, take the one you have on your pc)

But honestly, i like the FRAG FX betterm it looks cooler, and it also has the motion sensing feature likte the sixaxis.

Furthermore, later this year (couple of months) SplitFish (creators of FragFx) are launching a wireless version of FragFx that also has vibration :D that's when i'm gonna get one

Man i don't know what's all the rant against the ps3 controller. I've already pointed out my oppinion when i said that for mea COD 4 worked far better with the dualshcok/sixaxis than hte 360 controller

I've played AND FINISHED AN PLAY ONLINE:

Resistance Fall of Man on easy and medium (1st FPS EVER on a console)

The Darkness - Easy Medium and Hard (sucks online but cool story and acting)

COD 4 - recruit (i play 2 much online to start a new campaign)

JUST finished Meda of Honor AIRBORNE 5 mins AGO!! and finished it using the SIXAXIS (motion sensing) feature (for leaning and peeking when under cover) and works far better this way than using the analog stick for me (360 has no motion sensing)

Timeshift - 30% progress i guess (easy, this game is hard)

All of them work very good for me, using the sixaxis.

Although i'm still considering getting a FragFx, cos truth been told, control-wise, both 360 controllers and sixaxis/dualshock 3 controllers SUCK BIG TIME

MS+KB (or analog stick + mouse as FRAG FX) are NATIVE for FPS games, far better aiming, and aiming is what FPS is all about!

360 = better for shooters

PS3 = better for fighters

/thread

PMatt722

im wondering how its better for fighters? if the thread was ended people wouldnt still be talking would they? OWNED

???

[QUOTE="fartranger"]The PS3 controller is fine you just have to get used to it like any other controller. The xbox 360 controller also has a learning curve. And for First person shooters it works fine for me:)Fuzzy_Munch

It has nothing to do with me being used to it. I have been playing on PS controllers since 96. PS1 PS2 PS3. The controllers are all the same. Accept with added rumble and now they changed the trigger buttons for the worst most would argue. Anyway either way with added rumble and the changed triggers. One thing that has been the same since PS1 is the Analog Sticks they have always been a little to clunky for shooters.

Anyone that can even say that the analog sticks on a PS controller is better then the much smoother feeling sticks on a Xbox controler is clearly a fanboy in denial.

With that said. Yes the PS controller are better for fighting games becuase of the D-Pad.

That only proves this: You're the Fanboy (360), and this whole thread was made as a statement to offend ps3 owners and troll, cos you're not accepting other people's opinions and continue ratteling on by saying that xbox is BEST and who says otherwise is a Fanboy.

Anyone?

I've said this before. I playd COD 4 on both Consoles (on 360 first). I only onw a PS3, but way before even bothering to THINK about consoles (some months ago) i was doing a reasearch in what should i get (ps3/360). I played at a friend that has a 360, both COD4 and halo, and i was not used at all with gamepads and fps, i thought of gamepads and FPS of being horrible (though it moved better on COD4). But then i heard about FragFx accessory and kb+ms support for the PS3, and got the PS3. It came in the box with Resistance, and i also bought COD4. Immediately i found it much easier (though still a noob on gamepad/console) to aim in COD 4 using the sixaxis.

So that's my opinnion and that's why sixaxis (and now dual shock) works better 4 me

This comparison isn't 100% fair.

1st off we're talking about a game that came out some time ago (forza 2) and one that just launched it's -extended- demo (gt5 -prologue-)

2ndly, if you really want to compare them wait till Gt5 comes out (not prologue) FULL

But besides that, honestly, Gt 5 does look better as car-detail is concerned. Everything else can be changed till the final launch of GT5, so it's pretty much a guess.
