If you are calling me one, you are sadly mistaken. I have played and owned both, and I have sold them both and now play on the PC exclusively. Bash me and brand me an Xbox fanboy, but I am disappointed with Sony, but then again I really do not care, I will continue wasting left and right on my PC and I wont be going to Console gaming anytime soon.
If I was a fanboy, why would I want Sony to reclaim the throne? Hmmm? If you were not talking to me then fine, I will drop this, but if you were then understand if I was a crazed fanboy I would be saying and singing a tune like the PS3 is a complete and total epic fail, but I am not, I hope that maybe one day Sony may get the PS3 together and release the quality games it did with it's PS2, since the PS2 is still selling, I can see Sony making the PS3 last past the 360's lifetime, but eh.
1) From my view the PS3 has the lead in graphics, but there are those odd games that look better on the 360.
2) I personally rather have an Xbox 360 controller in my hands. It simply was made for FPS and is a good controller, however there are those who will argue against me so meh.
3) With the PS3 at a whopping 160GB model, there is no denying the PS3 owns here.
4) Honestly... No, it is not. It has no offered much to be worth the price and the changes to make it drop in price are not justifiable to me.
5) Indeed it is. Many PS3 fans will say it is not and insist it is dead system, but they are denying that the 360 has taken the throne in gaming and holds major foothold in RPGs as well as its original target playerbase, FPS.
Now here is what I think about the PS3:
This baby is a bit on the expensive side, and what have the currently been doing to the PS3? I say "dumbing" it down, as in hardware wise. Want to get a PS3 and play PS2 titles? Forget about it, they have stripped it down so no PS2 will work with the newest models so go get a PS2 as well! The excuse? To make it less expensive ^-^, so bye-bye emulation :D.
Oh, how about being able to read them nifty flash cards and having 4 USB 2.0 ports?! Forget about it! They have taken out multiple flash card support on the newer models! And reduced the 4 USB 2.0 ports to just two! Oh my god! -squeal- Is the PS3 the bomb or what?! Hehe! Better scrape up all that money and go get yourself a shiny new piece of **** and be happy for such an expensive coaster ^-^.
Now let us move to what you get once you buy it, if you are smart enough to ^-^ You get free online service! OMG?! That should own the 360's pay-to-play online service!? Nope, you get what you pay for! :P. Haha, what is a system without it's loyal playerbase? Oh wait... the PS3 is trying to what? Be a shooter console? Oh god... no... the controller for shooters is atrocious, and good heavens to those who like it for shooters, I personally loved it for RPGs... oh god.. and a few racing games, but oh no, say it is not so! My personal opinion, try and get a 60 GB Model, only ones that seem to be worth the hassle, and you just upgrade the HDD to a 160GB :P. Still, nothing great on it, and the "few exclusives" does not make up for half the stuff they are doing just to "make it affordable" sheesh... Come on Sony, don't be a let down!(Wrote this on another board :P)
My 360 perspective:
Ahh, curent console king in my books :D. Indeed, they have gotten some RPGs and seem to be gaining a foothold in it, and hehe, and is the Western market not getting a Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 release? Hmmm? How many "exclusives" has the 360 taken? Not keeping count but it seems like a few. It has kept it's shooter community with the beautiful redesigned controller. Solid controller, since Microsoft settled out with Immersion, they continued to have the "rumble" feature! Smart move Microsoft! -thumbs up- The graphics on the 360? Hmm, they are quite nice, very nice, some may argue they are far worse than the PS3, but come on? They are on par, and sometimes superior to the PS3. Also, the Xbox 360 is getting itself together and getting cheap, so it is a solid system, cheap, decent graphics for a console and great gaming library, from RPGs to Shooters. -thumbs up- One for Microsoft.
Conclusion: 360 is current king, Wii is a child's toy, PS3 has a far way to go, but let us pray that one day Sony may wake up and see the horrors they have done to their system... or maybe... we may be stuck with Microsoft quality system :\... but eh. I am a sole PC Gamer so who cares about my opinion, but go with whatever you feel like getting. I will continue to bash the PS3 until Sony gets its act together, still will buy other Sony products though :P.
I play it sometimes. It is fun if you don't mind the occasional hackers and stuff. Honestly, I wont lie, I hack it sometimes, I played fair and it got annoying, however playing with hacks makes the game less fun, oh well. Me goes play CoD:WaW, at least I will get owned without hacks... well none that I know lol.
Buying Windows XP seems to be your one and only legal option to repairing it. I wont talk about illegal though. Anyways, another thing is to go the free way and get Linux Ubuntu or any other distro of Linux.
Did I not tell you to leave? Huh? You clearly like bashing others huh? Well, dude go act tough with someone while hiding behind the internet, you wont get anywhere in life just by acting tough over the internet so again, leave!
If you have no interest in helping me select which games to get without being such a "******fag" leave! God d*mn, stop acting so "tough" over the internet, sheesh.
Ratatouille, simply amazing. Finding Nemo and Monster, Inc. were close second, but I honestly loved Ratatouille, the story was just great. I have no words to honestly describe it, I just loved it.
He clearly said no 2! When I googled this, I found half-life 2 as the most recent and with good reviews! The parentheses was toward the suggestion of playing the first one! Sheesh, if you had any common sense to ask or do a quick google search for half-life 1998 and seen his post you would know I was not talking about Half-life 2, and why would it be on my list of games I am seeing to buy? Huh? I was clearly talking about Half-Life 1, god I bet you are in special ed, for the sole reason of not being able to put one and one together. Get a life and stop talking about stuff you do not know.
:guns: :guns3:
You can clearly see that is my list for games I might/will buy this holiday season! God, you have no common sense. My statement in parentheses, I repeat, :yelling: :roar:WAS DIRECTED AT HIM NEGLECTING TO PUT A 2 IN GAMES HE RECOMMEND FOR ME! AND IF HE DID MEAN HALF-LIFE 1, I CANNOT SEE MYSELF PICKING A GAME THAT OLD!:yelling:
:guns2:I am done with you, go be a "douchfag" to someone else but me.
