PS3 vs 360 is not a contest

but niether were the games for xbox 360 that were also shown.

 

Hello. Basically it's like this people so take note. IF you don't want to get a X360, then don't. If you want to get a X360 then do. The same applies for every thing else that you buy in life. Bashing or putting down a console is ridiculous. It seems to me that the reason for bashing the X360 could be that the system is on the same level as the PS3.

In terms of grafx, the programmers already stated that 85% of the games will be crossplatform. Meaning that they would basically look exactly the same on either the (X360 or PS3). Sorry Wii, I know you're going to be a good system but no HDtv support. Not even 720p.. sigh... I might still get a Wii. Whoohoo Blu-ray. Think about this : The X360/PS3 have these thing in common.

1. They both have a total of 512MB of ram.
1. IBM designed Both of the Processors. Even though the chips are designed differently.
1. Both have a HDD.
1. Both can output High-DeF
1. Both have an ethernet port.
1. Nvidia & ATI Grafx are basically on par with each other. Not much difference there.

So the only things that would seperate the two are the features & exclusive games.

Features meaning the Xbox Live service. Currenlty, XBL is the BEST online service period. That's a fact. The universal gamertag is awesome. & now since E3, M$ has upgraded the live service to live anywhere. Check it out http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/09/...-live-coverage-of-microsofts-xbox-360-e3-ev/. Does sony have anything that can currently compete with that? No. Will they? Maybe, maybe not. The same applies to Nintendo.

The price. When the regular consumer sees the same game side by side on different consoles & they can't tell the difference between them, From that point what would sway a consumer to buy that product? The price. Why would I pay more for the same game & or system if there's no relative difference (in hardware). The price will make an impact in this country (USA).

I could go on and on about this.. but i'm not.. Again it boils down to "What do you want ?" what features & games do you like ? And above all, the COST.

 

Why is everything in your list with a 1?


anywho

1. One is 720p another 1080p
2. One is backwards compatible fully without any 8 month old patch and one isnt.
3. One company manufactures the chips themselves.

 

no of those are major factors

 

# 3 actually is, because when u maufacture the chip yourself, you speed up the manufacturing speed. Which means you lessen your chances of bluffing of selling what u actually don't have yet. See you say those aren't big choices, cause they aren't on the side you want them to be. If they were, you would have said it already.

 

well you have to take into account the ps3's
xdr ram
gigabit ethernet

so theyre not the same

this makes the ps3 more of an entertainment machine

 

i dont think the ps3 is a rip off.Look at the hdtv's u can only get a decent one for £2000 and the ps3 is one third of that

 

Joeva i would never in a million years have put that as one of xbox 360 strong points. do not just asumme something.

 

and no, both dont have an HDD.

 

I have a question to everybody on this board

How come everyday you come here to argue in which one is superior

"PS3 VS Xbox 360" "PS3 is expensive" "Xbox360 is better"
blah blah blaah

Shut the fusk Up

Get a life and stop whining

If your a real gamer you wouldn't care which one is better and you would probably get all three

Explain to me how you can argue which one is better unless they are playing side by side in FRONT OF YOU!!!!

PS3 is coming out November 17 and on that day you can begin your comparison!!

 

ali4real, you are right, I will bash PS3 all day long, but the fact is, I am a hardcore gamer, and wouldn't dream of missing out on one of the next gens, even if i DO think the other two, or one of them are better. We just banter back and forth because for all of us that get all three, usually we have a favorite we are "rooting" for. But in the afterdawn crowd, it is safe to say 99% of the posters here will have all 3 at some point if not the day they come out, and I am part of that 99%, but I still like Wii and 360 a lot more than the PS3, unless they actually make a game I want. Hell as dumb as this sounds, I only bought PS1 for megaman 8. Thats it, not for tekken, final fantasy 7, or any of the other "greats" (you can bet your ass I bought them all though, I just didn't buy it for them at the time). The fan boys will always have their own set opinion and I'll always be a fan boy of the Big N no matter what.

 

yup i am getting al three aswell.

 

Xbox 360 is just an upgraded xbox. Same technolgy, but improved. PS3 on the other hand has brand new technology that we have not seen yet, but it looks damn good on paper(Rambus XDR RAM at ***3.2Ghz*** compared to 360s 700Mhz RAM)

That's why the PS3 costs so damn much. So yes, lets wait and compare thse systems when they both come out.

BTW, PS3 isnt aimed at 11 year olds. Thats where the Wii comes in at a mere $150.

P.S.-All the people who think Sony stole the Wii controllers design....STFU.

 

if what this article says is in fact true, then there really isnt too much of a contest this year because who in their normal state of mind would still go out, and buy a 360 Today knowing this.....Argue all you want that new versions of systems come out, and this is "normal," of which i am not arguing here, but on the brink of a competitors launch this is not something you want to be doing in my opinion. i think w/e sony rep said 'the console war starts when we say it does' was right. i still feel pretty strong M$ rushed prematurally into releasing the 360, and havn't quite fully recovered.

actually, modifying hardware isn't that uncommon. You can't fit the same stuff of the original ps2 into a ps2 slim.
I'm pretty sure there won't be a speed difference. If there is, that sucks for existing 360 owners (unless they can take it in a get a free upgrade). Otherwise, MS just shat on some of their most loyal consumers.

 

no its the same chip only improved for overheating or somthing like that, i can not remember i read this like 4 mounths ago.

 

right, basically im sure most of the original 360 owners would agree that the 360 ran laud...i remember going over a friends house and the damn thing was lauder than my vacuum. Basically this redesign is not uncommon and allows for a less power hungry chip. However i did read some where, but cant find the site that stated the original xbox did not undergo this kind of adjustment. so again take this how you please, but of course it does pose the question, atleast to me, why would anyone want to buy the 360 this year knowing that it will be changed for the better, next year???

 

yes, but i have not had one problem with my xbox 360 after i got it fixed the first time, and i have dropped it nearly three times now, while taking it to friends houses. it never freezes, the games always work.

 

well ps3 is far superior in everyway to the xbox 360.
games,tehcnology,graphics,physics,free online,multi media,bigger hd,play psx-ps2 games in high def. not just some 20 list game,linux OS, high def. movie player,firmware update, ect.

so yeah price is not a factor PS3 will outCELL the competition in no time mostly beacuase it will have the best games.

theres no 1 game im interested in the xbox 360 except for ridge racer 6.

so yeah ps3,ps2,psp cant stop wont stop. buddy.

 

Anyone saying that no 360 game appeals to them is biased to the point of madness. Out of 160 games covering all categories only a single game appeals?

(personally I think RIdge Racer is pretty rubbish for a 'next-gen' game)
