Have you actually used a PS3?

Just to correct some of your points here:

    1. No good games

Most of the games on the 360 are the same on the PS3 however with better graphical improvements. Sure you can get Forza solely for the 360, however from what I've seen from GT4, that absolutely kills Forza in every way possible.

    2. Crap online

Explain? Online is online - oh, and its FREE.

    3. doing a bad job of copying xbox live

Really? I haven't seen it.

    4. controller is like playing with a slippy dick

My personal life doesn't involve playing with slippy dicks so I have no reference points, however can you tell me why the Playstation controllers are, and always have been the most user friendly, easy to hold and use, and how most chinese PC controllers are all modelled on the PS/2/3 controller?

The comments you've made sound just like a fanboy - I don't have a preference as I don't own either console, however from the specs, the PS3 is so far ahead technologically, although I have a lot of respect for the 360, however your views are totally crap and read word for word from the book "101 Cheap fake insults to throw at PS3 users" available now in all crap bookstores.

I've owned both consoles and I think the PS3 is miles better than the 360. Online is free and easier to use, Xbox live is quite expensive for what you get.

The graphics are better on the PS3, you get Blu-ray/HD. And the PS3 doesnt have the dreaded red ring of death like the 360, when I had mine it overheated even though I had the secondary fan to keep it cool, I sent it off to Xbox and it took them 2 months to repair. I never known a PS3 to have this happen.

The only game that the 360 has that the PS3 doesnt is Forza Motorsport 2 which I think is a really good game.

Postby Hilton HS2 on Thu May 21, 2009 2:20 pm

Played both and on most of the games i see little or no difference. Such as GTA4 I find that its better on the 360 as the ps3 made theirs look extremely grity.

My comment on the controller is them stupid triggers, why ruin something that was perfectly good, I find the ps controllers good for certain games but damn i hate where the analogs are which makes it really annoying for me personally to use. FPS games as such are a baxtered to play on that thing and even racing games I just dont think your thumbs in that position really works all that well.

As in no good games Im really just talking about the whole Exclusive aspect which the ps3 really lacks in. Sure you have Metal Gear solid and maybe one day you'll have your "GT4" but there's not much else really to look at. Ok little big planet but at the end of the day thats just a map maker which you get with most pc games you buy these days.

As for online ive played both and I still prefer the xbox, its very user friendly and the ps3 is like something they saw xbox do and did their own version over night. Dont even get me started on Home just whats the point its asking for trouble from the likes of child molesters and what not. You usually buy a console to play and have fun on not sit in a virtual house or go about a virtual town if you want todo that buy the sims its a hell of a lot more fun and detailed.....and i hate the sims.

And yes the xbox 360 is unreliable but thats their own fault, the fixes are easy they should just put more effort in. But saying that my friends ps3 did die and his xbox didnt strangely ironic.

It basically goes like this in dog terms :

The wii is a yappy little annoying thing that gets on your nerves but all the kids love it.

The PS3 is the old boring dog that has potential but just doesnt know what todo with itself so just lies there all day.

The xbox 360 is the faithful dog, it keeps you happy and even fetches the paper for you and then out of nowhere it pisses itself and dies.


Oh and as for the slippy dick comment, I have a dick, it has been slippy and I wouldnt lie and say I havent played with it.

Dammit i have to keep editing this.....so yeah and GT4 ive played the prologue and I thought it was awesome still lacks some things but it was prety sweet but then again it doesnt live up to the hype. I always prefered forza cause it seems like it actually cares, it offers so many options and the slightest change can change your car in a major way. I never really noticed that with any gran turismo, the options are there but they dont seem to affect anything unless you make big changes. GT4 looks like a cross between PGR4 and Forza. Now if Forza 3 offers everything they say it will then it will blow GT4 away. The thing i like the sound of in the new forza 3 is the new auction house being able to test drive the cars before you buy them, that will be extremely good.

I can understand why GT is more popular though. Its been around longer and even a new gamer can play it straight away. Forza scares people off with its realism and when it comes to tuning cars if you dont know what your doing your car usually turns out s**t which some people prefer a car thats easy to drive and does what they want it too. I hated forza but got bullied into buying from my mates and I eventually grew to love when i realised not all cars go round corners at 100mph. Still at the end of the day SEGA GT was prety bad ass if i do say so.

And as for fan boys its mostly the ps3 people moaning about gears of war what is it with ps3 fan boys and gears of war!!! Yes its a great game, yes its on xbox only and yes you will likely never get it.

I could do a list of comparison of great games on each console (exclusives) but I dont think anyone would care so Id rather not waste my time.

All down to personal preference. You could argue the good and bad points of the colour Blue to be honest.

Anyway, I don't have a preference on the consoles - PC pwn's all :)

Update!!

My mates other PS3 now broke, poor boy has no luck an he looks after them so well. Oh and its problem is the Yellow Light Of Death (YLOD) Even have to copy xbox's failures it seems ;)

Sony want £145 to fix it!!! Rip off you can buy a xbox for that......infact u can buy about 3 broken easily repairable xbox's for that. And if you break your 360 at least its only £30 for most repairs.

Back to being his paperweight :cry:

Is that recent percentages?

Its the same problem on both consoles though yet such a huge price difference.

And my other mate who has a ps3 it broke then sony fixed it and sent it back and its broke again, seems they are as good as repairs as microsoft yet rip you off more.

Haha so microsoft fixed your mates ps3........impressive.

Oh and the new metal gear solid is gonna be xbox exclusive so they say at e3 IGN but also says its ps3 available so i expect it'll just be exclusive content. Gonna have all the ps3 and MGS fan boy crying and threatening suicide like the final fantasy people did.

no, sorry those were figures taken from returns to retailers in late 2007. In late 2008 it was revealed that it could have been as high as 68%

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-was-as-high-as-68/?biz=1

admittedly both the Wii and PS3 had increased rates of failure too, as much as 3%!!! :P

It's widely known that Microsoft released the consoles knowing there was an issue with the hardware.

Now I'm not anti Xbox, I've used one and it's better than a Wii and as good as a PS3 at least, however the bottom line is the 360 is more unreliable than the other consoles. It's a fact, not hearsay...

I'm anti Xbox because everyone who has seen my PS3 has gone "ooo no, PS3, Xbox's are so much better" and it gets so old!!
All the people I know with Xbox's have no life and spend ageees on it. I'm happy with my PS3, just brought a HDMI cable to put it on my 32" tele and it's fookin stunning playing blu ray films, too tempted to go and buy surround sound now though!!
