Ps3 or Xbox 360?

[Mow_Uchiha2008]

PS3. The best games are coming to make history!!!

[Ein Einsamer Soldat]

I'm surprised this thread didn't get too ugly
I own both(and each one put a huge hole in my pocket book) and I would say the PS3 is a much better platform

~Without a doubt the 360 has a greater variety of games, and from what I can tell, more Live accounts than PSN accounts with more active players

~The PS3 uses the Blu-Ray which can hold a great deal more information than your 360 disc(or the HD-DVD which was an upgrade for your 360 or standard on the Elite)

~HD-DVD lost the Hi-Def Disc War with Blu-Ray, Making the HD-DVD player mostly useless(also the Blu-Ray can hold almost double that of a HD-DVD, 30GB compared to 50GB)

~The PS3 also has many more features than the 360(web browser for one, too lazy to list anymore xp)

~Much more on the 360's "Market Place"(such as TV shows, movie rentals, etc.) compared to the "Playstation Store" (which is mainly game related and Blu-Ray trailers)


I could go on comparing the two for hours, but in the end "which is better" depends on

Looking for more serious gaming and a Hi-tech piece of equipment.

Looking for a quick-fix to jump in and have some fun!

Just to add to a mostly dead thread; Anyone waiting for MGS4 to come out on X-Box 360 shouldn't hold their breath. Kojima has already had to make cuts from the PS3 version- because he ran out of room on the Blu-Ray disk!

I am so sorry for this(completely off the topic) but I had to

I'd estimate 95% of that goes into CG cutscenes (the first turn-off for me) get rid of the cutscenes and the game probably only takes up a zip disc; and lasts a whopping total of 45 minutes.

Also, he doesn't want to compress anything, so the game is written completely umcompressed, well at least it was. It's more like how Ninja Theory claimed to fill the whole disc with 5 hours of game than a testimate to how much is actually IN the game. From what I've heard they're even making you buy the online portion of the game seperately. Thank god I never liked this series, I'd feel kinda cheated.

No, Metal Gear Online will be on the MGS4 disc. There'll of course be additional content for multiplayer to download later.

[bakakame]

Ah, if that's the case than I'd feel no more cheated than I am with these #$!%#$ing $10 Halo 3 map packs.

As someone who has played RPGs for most of his life, cutscenes don't bother me so long as the story is good. I actually made it most of the way through Xenosaga's 30 hours of cutscenes before I ran screaming from the game in anger over the innovative "Enemy gets as many turns as it wants" fighting system.

But, it's not as though Kojima would release MGS4: Ugly Expositionless version to X-Box 360 which is more my point. A lot of 360 fans were consoling themselves that Konami would have to make them a MGS4 too. I'm sure Kojima's mansions are already lined with enough gold as it is.

hahaha Ill be honest MP2K, Im not sure what exactly is going on here but I do have to say that I do believe that MGS4 disc pack for the 360 is dated. MGS4 doesnt fit on blu-ray so unless they intend to make MGS4 like 5 discs then there isnt anyway its coming to 360. If you notice, there are so many different features that this game is already huge in file size. Look at the movements alone. There probably at least 4 or 5 different ways to crawl alone. Regular speed crawl, slow crawl, fast crawl, humped back crawl (when Snake humps his back up and then pushes with his legs to move forward) and roll (rolling sideways.) That right there, while in retrospect, isnt a huge amount of data, is enough to show you just how much is going on.

Aside from this, you can now move in the crouched position, you can camouflage yourself by hiding as a statue or things of the such and heres what may take up some of the most space, the Octo-Camo. The system literally takes the data of whatever you are pressed up against and copies it to your suit. That right there has to take up A LOT of space. Think of how many camos the game has to randomly generate through that system. That alone has to be a huge chunk of the game.

But, I could be completely talking out my buttox. Send me the link to where you got that picture from and I'll read the article, Im quite interested, actually.

Um, that was someone else's pic, posted as a joke, and an obvious 'shop. I know that MGS4 isn't coming to 360, I'm just remarking how funny I found that 6 months ago 360-fans were remarking how they'd just wait for the 360 version, which would have to be made to (as they would say) account for the inherent suckiness of the PS3.

[rf switch]

I will be rambling on.

I haven't been that impressed with either really. I still prefer a keyboard and mouse over a control pad for FPS. So a big chunk of the "great" games like Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, The Orange Box don't really appeal to me in console form. I feel the Halo series is greatly over-rated. But I don't need every FPS out there like some people seem to need. One great one every couple years is fine with me. I'd rather play FP games like Bioshock and System Shock anyways. My 360 collects a lot of dust. I found Lost Odyssey to be pretty average and lost interest in it. Blue Dragon was pretty meh. Mass Effect was cool. While I haven't gotten around to buying it yet the extra stuff in the PC version is making me want that instead.

The PS3 I use mainly as a media center and for PS2 and PS1 games. I love my PS1 and PS2 games. I love not having to use memory cards anymore with it. Games wise the PS3 started out slow, as did the PS2, as did the 360. I have no doubt that by the end of the PS3's life there will be a great library of games for it. It was worth a purchase. I enjoyed Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, and Assassin's Creed (yes I know its multiplatform). I like lightgun games so Time Crisis 4 kept me entertained for a bit as well. I like that PS3 games are region free. Sure some 360 games are as well. But the PS3 does it better. I'd like to say I'm waiting for MGS4. But I'm not. I'd also much rather use the PS controller layout for fighting games such as Street Fighter IV, KOFXII, Tekken 6. I may get GTA4 for the PS3. I may choose the 360 version as well. I haven't decided yet. But DLC and online play for that game don't mean much to me.

Sales mean nothing to me. The Neo-Geo didn't sell to well but I still love that system and have no plans to ever get rid of it. But even for coming out a year later and at such a high price the PS3 isn't doing that badly.

So even with the lack of a current games library the PS3 slightly edges out the 360 for me

[IceBubleFlava]

Yeah I chose, u know Ps3. Eventhough I have neither systems, I still plan to buy the ps3 over the xbox360, but it's close.

oh no I wasnt trying to imply that you were saying that it was coming to 360, rather I was quoting your post because I found it amusing and agreed with it. Sorry, I didnt quite clearly state that in my post, my bad xD hahaha

[Eternal_Flame]

I have to say that the XBOX 360 is much better than the PS3. The XBL experience is awesome and there are MANY games of pretty much any genre that come out for the 360. The PS3 doesn't seem to have many games that come out for it, so I base my opinion on that.

[Uchiha,Madara]

I like that 360 better then the PS3

[sesshomaruisgod]

Not to say anything bad about the ps3 I would chose 360. I have played both 360 and Ps3 and choose 360. This is largely due to the fact that all my friends have 360 and all have live. I'm getting more online based so I think I choose 360 for that reason

[The Nightingale]

XBOX 360.


Dunt Know Why....they have the new fable on it soon though!

and Halo 3

so yeah....

WAIT...PS3 has Final Fantasy!!! I change haha XD

[Drifter Uk]

ive had this conversation so many times with my friends. no one seems to understand that neither is better, only that one can do more, if u want a console, get a 360, but if u want a console and a blu-ray player, get a ps3

i personally have a 360, cause i didnt feel like paying a load more money for stuff i wouldnt use, because i dont have a hd tv

[Phylloh]

Dude ps3 all the way here i own em both but come on . . the ps3 will have better cames cuz the only reason the 360 does so well is Halo if microsoft didnt have halo they wouldnt have a system but i digress, everyone is entitled to their own opinion i just dont liek PAYING to pay a game i bought already online -_- aka live

I prefer the PS3, but they both have their weaknesses.

But the Wii knock both consoles with Wii Fit.

Why? You balance on a board. Sounds... fun...

And as far as the peripheral itself goes, it's stupid, and like every other peripheral released by Nintendo, there will be three or fewer decent games for it. Nintendo has never been unafraid to punish people for buying an expensive, game specific controller.

Wii fit actually got decent reviews and who knows, the wii fit pad may just end up spawning a couple of good games. I can see a tony hawk game or something like that being used with it.

And I do agree, the peripheral is stupid, but remember peripherals are usually game specific, so even if three or fewer decent games come out that use it, thats better than for most peripherals.

I would have to agree with you and i just love the Wii Fit its great fun.

[Linen]

I'd have to go with the 360, because of Xbox live, and it has more games right now then any other system, plus all the good games are going for the 360 right now, besides Metal Gear and Ninja Gaiden.

[Kojack]

I'm going to choose the PS3 over the Xbox360 when it comes time for me to buy one, because there's no region protection on the PlayStation. Import a go-go, baby!

Also, Bluray.
