tell me why i should/shouldnt ret;urn my 360 for a ps3?

Still another 50 bucks. Guess after all the games you would steal 50 bucks is just a drop in the bucket in comparison.

But still a console that is hacked may not be a good thing in the long run; eventually dev's might move away from it due to lack of profits because people can just dl their games for free.

 

cough*PSP*cough

 

Ive always had a chipped console....PS1, PS2, PSP, etc, but I decided against the Xbox360 even though it was the only 'chippable' option out of the two. This is because there arent that many decent games so I couldnt see the point in owning all these copied games that Im never gonna play...its a complete waste. I had about 300 copied games for my PS1 and I only ever played about 15-20 of em.

Id rather now support the software companies that are churning out decent games....considering there arent that many great titles the cost isnt too great.

For my PS3 I have MGS4, GTA IV, GT5rologue, Motostorm, Bourne Identity and NBA Homecourt. In total, they cost me about £120 (about $200) over the course of 2-3 months. Hardly breaking the bank.....

And I always have my PC to play any downloaded / copied games that arent worth my money......

 

Playing a modded 360 on XBL is a risk I'm willing to take. If I get banned, then I will still have a console to play backups offline. I love my PS3, just wish you could play backups on it and, if possible, wish the BR disks were cheaper.

 

How long have you been playing your modded console on XBL?

 

i think i hear a 360 fanboy coughing

 

Dude, you're almost a month late on that one, lol. And AFAIK, core2kid is not a 360 fanboy. He doesn't even appear to OWN a 360...

 

Good to see somebody's reading my siggy. I forgot to add in there NES.

 

pffft racing equal , just look at Gran turismo nothing can compare to that not even microsofts cheap ripoff Forza.

 

Id say Microsoft for shooting sony for everything else, but why on earth wouldnt you just get the FPS on PC seeing most are multi platform and its the easiest to play on too.

 

Alot of people prefer the mouse and keyboard for its accuracy in fps's. I was tempted to get the fragfx myself to try it on the ps3.

 

uh... can I get more info on this?

and to add to the thread: I've had my 360 for a year and a half. played mostly shooters because still I don't have a good tv (can't even read text on screen on most games...). They're pretty good. But just pretty good. I notice I had way more options (and way more fun, overall) back when my ps2 was new (wouldn't compare to when my ps1 was new, it would be just too unfair with poor 360). If you're not into those famous 360 shooters, probably the 360 isn't for you. Sports are always the same on every console, and rpg's seem to be way better on ps3. I've never even touched a ps3, but i'm not completely happy with my 360, turns out I play wii way more often (and ds waaaaaaaayy more often than that).
Finally, even if you love 360's shooters, they end up being released for the pc, in which you can play with mouse+keyboard or with the awesome 360 wired controller.
If the lack of piracy on the ps3 is not an issue for you, i'd say just go for it.

 

in the last-gen i would have agreed but in this generation sony have better shooting games and better raceing games while microsoft have RPG's... and now that i thing about it thats pretty much all the xbox has over the ps3 (for now) i really cant think of anything else the xbox has in terms of genre

 

well Rpg's arent really my forte anyways , I can play the square enix/soft ones especially Kingdom Hearts and if you class Zelda as some kind of RPG but going into the more serious stuff like oblivion morrowind just bored the crap out of me and I have told people I would rather smash my Ps3 then put Oblivion in there I just dont know how someone would play that slow thing then just go read a novel instead it would have more action.

 

i love bluray movies so i have to side with the ps3. not really impressed by the 360 since i have been through 3 consoles since launch that have gotten the red lights. my launch ps3 is going strong.

 

Tell me why you sho;uld or sho;uldn't use sp;ell che;ck for the ti;tle.

 

Tell me why you start another stupid thread about xbox and ps3 comparison. Basically you hid the question of "whats best Xbox or PS3?" into "tell me why I should/shouldnt ret;urn my 360 for a ps3?"
How bout search around the net and compare specs on both, then figure out what you like best about both.

 

tell me why-e...ain't nothin' but a heartbreak...tell me why-e

 

both systems are good. but i think xbox live is way better then the ps3 online play. and the online community is set up better on 360.

IM NOT A FANBOY I OWN ALL 3 CURRENT GEN CONSOLES!!

 

Golden.

Get the PS3 because this is the PS3 forum. If you've got this same thread in the Xbox section, then get it because it's in the Xbox section. Really, it all depends on which forum you happen to be looking at.

Unless you've got it in the Wii section. Then you'll just be confused.
