PS3 vs 360 is not a contest

ps3 has no chance of outdoing xbox 360.
the 360 is cheaper (price) and way better. The only good thing about the ps3 is its blue-ray dvd drive. BUT WHO CARES!!!

the dvd tray isn't what matters. Even a bum off the street would know that. Graphics and games determine the real outcome. Might I add: HALO 3. point stated clearly!

XBOX 360 will win the war (BY A LONGSHOT)

 

dude it was fun at first now its anoying. buy whatever the hell you want be it 360 or ps3 as long as its not the wii. right now i see no diference in ps2 and xbox wich might be the same thing with 360 and ps3. you never know wich one will pull ahead in a year.

hardcore gamers will buy their system no matter the price so stop discussing that. by hard core i mean its your main hobbie not if your going to play madden when some friends come over.And this is extremely true for example all the people that are into rc cars or airplains they spend aton of hours putting together their vehicles and an insane amount (to the people that arent into it) to modifi it.

if i have made my point clear
ill leave your debate with one last question

everyone says that the developers say that the graphics will look the same on both systems why havent any of you proven it?

some one post a video of a developer saying this or give us a link to an official developers web site that says this

 

most of the under informed, IE those that got PS1/PS2 just for madden or something, will probably get PS3, unless they are told madden is so much better for one of the other two. But just by virtue of its name, good or not, PS3 will move some units. It may be a while before wind of Ps3 not being "the ultimate game machine for the next-generation cycle" actually puts a dent in their foothold though (if it isn't really the best, not saying it isn't). Its like with anything else, proven reliability and perceived superiority, (because they hear ppl say, "yo did u get dat new madden jaunts on da playstation that mess is tight yo WERD!") (excuse my vast generalization but its true), and you will have an indominable platform for success. So MS and yes..even nintendo who most of you are just simply casting off (yes i know they said they don't want to compete but whatever, consoles are consoles and they are part of the big 3) really need to make sure they become that new household name. Nintendo's advantage is that they had it for 10 years before PS1 arrived.

Man..if they hadn't dicked sony out of that cd drive add-on for the snes then things would be really different right now...

 

LOL - Yeah its great when a Noob comes in and puts us all to rights. Why did you join this thread if its so beneath your mentality?
Forums like this are made for people to thrash out ideas and just to let off steam, we don't need all the Attitude.

Nice bit of double posting by the way. Real slick.

 

lol omg here goes. Back then it was Halo 2...now, Halo 3 apparently makes the Xbox360 *untouchable*. Omg just please...do us all a favor...and go drown yourselves.

May I also note that PS3 graphics are superior. Not much faster(even tho it still is) but the structure is far more efficient and productive than that of 360's unified structure. I believe KooKoo(67?) posted about that. go read it.

 

i have read many interviews with developers that all say that the xbox 360 graphics chip is sightly better than the ps3 chip

 

Point taken about why games are made for more than one system and its cause they are a business. Essentially your saying the games that were taken from being exclusives for sony and now are with MS as well was just a business move but that alone shows MS progression. if that was solely the case exclusives wouldnt exist

 

Sony is banking that Blueray becomes the standard. 360 can utilize whatever media it wants as an addon while ps3 just sits there with a useless blueray player. I do however think that blueray has an extremely good chance of becomming universal game media, but Hd-dvd will probably the universal new movie media.

Just my 2-cents

 

Who cares... It's too expensive..and there is a 360 price drop announced for the ps3 launch date... And it's your money.. buy whatever you want!
(personally if I had enough money for a ps3 I am more likely to spend it on a half decent car so I don't have to get the train to work..something far more important than a toy..because believe me that's what it is, a very expensive toy. lol

 

haha...half decent car??? ps3 = 600$... thats not even enough for me to buy 4 new tires on my car. wish i could take the train to work...price of gas SUCKS

 

ps3 = 600
3 games = 210 (games are predicted to be aroud 70)
2 controllers = 100

well that comes to around 900 but when i bought my xbox 360 i got 4 games, 3 controlles, so if someone was to do that then it would go well over 1000. and even in the uk where everything is so much more expensive then america you would still be able to get a 2nd hand car.

 

price isnt a factor when the product is good , good example ipod ,if you asked me 4 years ago so yeah people are going to be spending about 300$ in a little thing that plays musik in the future? what 300? dude a cd player is 50 bucks and that sounds very expensive(4 years ago=2002).

once the average joe knows about the ps3 and all the features it has people are going to drop a little more for the best choice and im sure they will all know before it get realesed this november.

people dont want the cheapest they want the best with the latest technology(again ipod) no matter if they have to paid a little extra.

so here goes again once ps3 and high def. movies are out

would you rather spend 20$ on lets say spider man 3 on dvd or spend a little more 25$ and have it on high def. blu-ray. need i say more? nuff said.

so yeah again '' people dont want the cheapest they want the best''
price isnt a factor here.

so far everything is looking wonderfull for sony and ps3.

and when you have ps2 behind your back a console that has sold over 100M wolrd wide how can you go wrong?

 

Yea i'm glad we're talking price, even though i've looked like a MS/Nintendo fanboy for this thread and another I started, the $600 price tag isn't lookin so bad, but that is prolly cuz I am seriously considering getting a Nokia N80 which is upwards of $600 for a CELL PHONE. So compared to that...haha PS3 is a great deal. Besides looking at it more and more I like it. I will be buying one of the first ones likely, maybe after the bugs get ironed out but it'll probably still be $600 when i pick one up. Of all 3 I still like Wii best b.c its different, but i do see the potential for greatness in PS3 and 360 so i'll get them too. I hope that the final PS3 we get comes in black like the one pictured at the gamestop site. I think black is a much better color for it than like grey/silver. Maybe you will get a choice.

The way I see it, is now these consoles are approaching what computers can do, and if you see a $600 computer, its probably decent, but not like absolutely top of the line. I wouldn't know i just build mine b/c i want certain things in it, plus newegg is cheaper then say...dell/gateway. But looking at it from that perspective and PS3/360 are a bargain because you can play high-powered games you might need a really awesome and more expensive than $600 computer for, for a cheap and user friendly experience. Plus with wifi, and PS3 having linux I am sure that there will be some development for them to use it for other things, I don't know if PS3 has a media center like Xbox but i'm sure one is in the works b/c its damn handy, I am glad I put XBMC on my xbox. And with the wifi/ethernet connections you can get online maybe for more than just gaming. So while if you look at PS3 as "just" a console, then yea $600 is a lot, but if you look at it for more than that which is what i think they are saying it is to justify the price, then its not so bad.

 

Average Joe has heard about the features the ps3 will have when the 360 came out.Their online is a mock of xbox live a couple yrs ago with some of its current features,bluetooth,hd-movies and thats where the buck stops.Only thing it has above the 360 is hi-def movie playback.graphics will be equal as will loading times and all other things like that.People keep calling it an entertainment center just because it can play blu-ray movies and that is so lame.SOny has done well to plant the seed cause they have their fans out their spreading the "gospel" and its sort of pathetic.Blu-ray this blu-ray that and so on and so on.Tyr as u may try as u might u just cant justify the price tag at this point in the game,the hd-movie formats should be an option and thats why MS isnt getting raped in the media and by EVERY analyst that isnt a sony one.If MS sells the hd-dvd format at 100bucks which isnt far fetched considering how sony made the blu-ray player with the ps3 then MS fans can have hi-def movie playback,better online,same graphics and loading times,Great lineup of games and all for cheaper.I cant complain about that either way sony shouldnt have piedgeo holed its customers into getting the more expensive package!

i am not saying that ps3 is not good, but its not something new to gaming that xbox 360 does not hvae, although the features it has are great, but when the average joe asks if these features will help the game and the shop assistant says no then what do you think they will do.

 

I dont think there will be any difference in graphics. The reason I will get the PS3 over the 360 is Blu-Ray and the fact that Sony is more popular with more people will buy it, meaning more games.

my local video store has got Xbox360 games and they are always in (meaning they dont rent well).

 

With supply issues at first and terrible policies at gamestores its not a shock to see games not being rented.Also they have gamefly which alot of people use to rent games.My blockbuster requires a NEW credit card and a one time dollar charge so if you dont return it they can charge u full price on your credit card.All points to way too much hastle

 

4 points against the PS3..High Price..Blu Ray Disks (untried technology) Bad build quality reputation of the PS2..and the 360 has a year lead in the market... I don't really care and I actually think threads like this should be closed as they are just pointless...you can't buy a ps3 yet so what's the point of going on about how great it is...You don't have one..so that point is a blatant untruth...you can't say how well it works, or how great the games are, or how responsive the controls are because you don't have one!!! So what in all honesty is the point of all the BS????
