Flame war: PS3 vs XBOX360

[Mikeyfell]

A thread designed for a flame war will attract mods like honey attracts flies

Is anybody reading the original topic?

LOOK UP THERE AT POST #1

of course people are reading the original topic, but they're attracted to the post by the title
and some Douche bags like me comment first and read topics later,

but either way I contributed, and flamed the Wii, I call that mission accomplished

 

[Stewardesses]

Eh, I guess if we flame the Wii then it's okay.

Just to be safe, that was sarcasm, please don't get out the ban-hammer.

On another note, does anybody think a mod could change the topic name to something nicer? Like even just 'Flame War?' would be fine.
I really should've chosen a better name.

This is an intriguing topic. You've stated clearly in the OP that you do not wish it to degrade into a flame war, you are going beyond the norm and asking why it happens which I admire.

Why indeed must people declare their football team/nation/continent/race and in this case possessions are somehow superior to the other Joe's preferences. The reason of "human nature" is a complete cop out as that encompasses a wide field of reasons in other areas too.

I think it begins because it can begin. Those with the foul mouthed, the shallow minds and the narrow visions who are somehow too afraid to look beyond the propaganda propagated by those on their side will feel their freedom of expression is just as valid as the next persons and know full well that nobody can stop them being a complete dick.

The moment you don't fear authority or understand and utilise respect 'n decency to those around then you've well and truly lost the plot and all remaining respect for yourself and from others around you

War have been started over stupider things, i've read about a war over a bucket, it lasted 7 days, recordes from both sides suggest almost 700 soldiers and civilans were killed


It's because no one wants to back down because that would mean that they lost.

 

[_Cake_]

Cause I want to play online games with you.

In all seriousness, I own an xbox and a wii but don't really like the PS3, why is it hard for some people to understand that?

Same reason my dad can beat up your dad. He's my dad.

But my dad is a ninja so my dad can beat up your dad before your dad knows what hit him.

OP you forgot PC people they do it too . But yes it is mostly making up for some insecurity the person has. It could be a fear that they made the wrong choice or some personal issue. But as the internet has proven this real life problem can be fix by telling random internet people they are inferior to you (as you are projecting yourself through your game system).

Yeah well MY DADis Chuck Norris

Fear the power of internet untruthes!

 

[Stewardesses]

I'm getting bad vibes, I'm going to go get the fire extinguisher now. Just to be safe.

I think it's more of a case of people throwing their controllers out of their prams and really going off on one who happen to own a different console than their own. I'm not particularly fond of the 360 but I don't start any level of hatred over it; I just find there are no games on it that would interest me really.
Again this isn't a flame war, it's to understand the meaning behind people's animosity and unfounded hatred really

I understood it, the picture was just to give some humor, thats all. (Not troll or look like a dick)

At their base, they're all just computers with different hardware and OS.

*Begins clapping* I actually haven't heard that before.

Ahahaha!

I have both consoles so I'll sit back and laugh, either way I'll still win! Wait, what..? Does this mean I have two dads.... o_0

Don't worry Jesus had two dads, and he threw the money lenders out of heaven (apparently). So he turned out ok.

 

[VanityGirl]

Because many people don't save money to buy both consoles. I feel entitled to form my own opinions on each console because I own ALL current gen consoles and I have a gaming computer.

Comparing consoles it stupid. I enjoy some of the PS3 titles, hence I play my PS3. I love 360's online and I play all crossplatform multiplayer games on it.

I love my Wii as well. ^^

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I notice the first thing people do that are new to this site is either
1) Make a stupid console thread (like the "why the psp is better than the 360" one a while back)
2) Make a thread that has to do with Halo.

OT: PS3 is the best console....

Did you actually read the OP?

No lol : D

Well done -.-

Jesus turned out okay? He was crucified!

Because, in the end, we all get a little giggle when we pointlessly debate whether the 3DO is better than the NeoGeo.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Because people are of the belief that because they paid their money for a console, it must be better. And the only people who really have the right to participate in flame wars, people who own both, are (generally) the ones who do not.

 

[DazBurger]

I own a 360.. But why? I like Halo... Thats why. I dont really bother for Resistance, i like Killzone even less and while the MGS series have its good points, I have managed to beat the games at a friends house, they dont have much replay value for me, while Halo have its coop campaigns.

Other games that I like that was/is exclusives on the 360: Mass Effect 1+2, Fable 1+2 and Gear of War 1+2.

 

[Simalacrum]

Well I'll have an argument with people about PS3 v 360 sometimes, but thats mostly just for shits and giggles - I don't really flame, I just kinda jest in a "my consoles better than yours, tee hee hee" kind of way...

I don't really know why people will become serious about the matter, maybe its cause they feel 'patriotic' about a certain brand or something?
