"PS3 DOMINANT!"

[Waaghpowa]

Snip Snip Snip

I'm in the same boat, cept I sold off my 360.

Not everyone can afford a gaming PC though, so it makes sense that they would stick to the consoles. There are 360 I'd like to play, but I don't feel they warrent me buying another 360 again. Still, nothing quite beats the joy of modded games on PC The infinate fun to be had in Fallout 3 for example.

I am as well, I used to be all console games, then once I built my pc I barely have any reason to touch the consoles. I only own consoles for their exclusives now, what exclusives there are that are worth getting that is. Other than that, Pc first, everything else second.

I have both a 360 and a PS3.

A month back I dug out my Dreamcast and haven't touched those 2 since. (except for DVDs)

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I personally think that, although the PS3 does admittedly have more features, it's ridiculously overpriced considering it hasn't got THAT much more going for it than the 360, and that the 360 has better exclusive titles. But that's just my opinion...

More importantly, your friend posted that stuff on his XBL bio... does he have a death wish or something?

 

[reddfawks]

I'm sick to the teeth of console wars. Could you imagine if any other piece of technology was like this?

"Hmmm, this is some good toast, Bob! Did you make it with a KitchenAid?"
"No Jim, my toaster is a CuisinArt."
"HOW COULD YOU EAT TOAST THAT COMES OUT OF THAT MACHINE?" *Jim throws toast against the wall and storms out*

Well, I certainly prefer the PS3 over the 360, and my PC over both, but that's a dead horse on this board... my question is, if your friend prefers the PS3 so much, what the hell did he make an XBox Live account for? Does he pay the monthly fee for it?

Also, Sonic is soooo fast! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlulSyBI2aY]

Why do people care?

I have Ps3 and Wii. As for why I got PS3 and not XBOX360...

I like the controller more, the Xbox-exclusives didn't interest me, and I got it cheap. And my friend has it too so I can borrow his games.
As for what I play the most... Nintendo DS.

 

[TheSquashedOrange]

Eh, this is just going to cause a flame war...I mean, how does this stimulate converastion other than arguing over which one is better?

 

[RA92]

Gentlemen, this is going to end regrettably. And before it does, please allow me to draw a bilateral and unbiased conclusion

Xbox 360 vs PS3: PC wins

Ba dum tsh!

What? I like flame wars...

Subjective opinion being used as the basis for an argument on the internet.

How the fuck do you think this is going to end?
(hint: not with a pillow fight)

How about a mud fight between Zero Suit Samus, Sasha from inFamous, and that one female support cast member from Gears of War.

 

[Nieroshai]

The PS3 is technically better, but its games are exactly the same. The PS3 hasn't yet been used to its full, mostly because it costs a LOT to do and takes a VERY long time with VERY good computers.

Only problem: Samus isn't just a Martial Artist, she's got superhuman strength and agility. Would be fun to watch though haha.

 

[Shes Your Adversary]

Eh, I honestly could care less about the whole 'PS3 vs. Xbox360' thing.
I have already heard so much from my two brothers who would get into long-winded debates on which console is better. Psh...fanboys...
Anyway, I'm personally a 360 person just because I am familiar with it. Besides, most of my friends own one, so I like to play games with them or just chat on Live.

*Cough* PS2 backwards compatibility. *Cough*

 

[Dr. Win]

PS3 vs Xbox flame wars make me rage inside.
Gaming should be about games, not the piece of plastic you put the games into -_-

But, just to be hypocrite;

I personally prefer Xbox simply because I'm familiar with it, and I like games such as Halo. I would probably buy a PS3 if I wasn't hurting for money at the moment, and there aren't any games on PS3 I really think would be worth it right now.

Also my PS3 fan-boy friend pretty much buys all of the exclusives and lives pretty much 100 metres away from me so if anything really stands out I'll consider saving for one.

If I had the choice I would play all

Your friends a tool who wants to start crap. What is there to say, really? Console fanboys are at the bottom of the intelligence list.

I have never understood the console wars. I have had all the systems from each generation since the N64/PS1/Saturn days ( Yes I did own both a SNES and a Genesis but didnt get the Gen until after the Saturn was out so I dont count that.) The way I see it is by getting them all I get to play all the good games. I do have a favorite system this gen but not gonna say what. I have no interest in starting a flame war.

 

[Nova Helix]

yes the fat one was a bit of a fail.

What? You're friend is an idiot just for that. One of the reasons I bought it was for the backwards compatibility and is one way that the 360 failed. You can't play Legend of Mana on the 'Slim'.

As far as console wars goes it's just personal preference, the rest is an argument of semantics.

 

[TheTim]

actually there are three things that make the xbox distinctively better in my book.

major ps3 flaws.
1. theres not god damn backwards compatabilaty with the slim, it pisses me off.
2. the fact that the joysticks are misplaced on the sixaxis and left thumbs constantly get tired.
3.theres no in game party chat, i want to talk to my friend who is playing little big planet, while im playing infamous, but since Sony is mentally retarded and doesn't get it, i can't do that.

"PS3 DOMINANT", my ps3-fanboy bestfriend's motto on xbl, he dosnt stop there, he has an essay of a bio of why his console of choice puts all others in the shade.

BTW, i have both consoles, and im quite neutral to both, but i play my xbox more.

Heres his xbl bio:

"PS3 is so much beter than the 360. Dont get me wrong, i like xbox 360, but compared to the PS3, saddly, it fails. there are so many things u can do on PS3 it is actualy incredable. yes the fat one was a bit of a fail. but the slim i cant fault it. blu-ray discs _ free online play _ internet access _ vid zone _ sixaxis controlers _ playStation plus _ recargable controlers _ DVD upscaling _ PS Home _ PS store _ less kids with mics, the list is endless, Does the xbox 360 compare. I dont think so."

Any thoughts fellow escapists?

Side note, when i started playing games (this was back in the 6th generation of gaming), i was a major PS2 fanboy, and he was a major Xbox fanboy, eventually I agreed the XBOX was better and forgot about the ps2, now the roles have reversed it seems.

AGAIN, NOT A PS3 VS 360 THREAD.

Hmmmm. Blu-ray discs? Cool. Free online play? Bonus, but don't use it. Internet access? Yeah, not buying a keyboard for my PS3 when I just us my computer. Besides, I can't watch Escapist vids on the PS3. Vid Zone? WTF is that? Sixaxis? Much better used on the iPhone. Playstation Plus? No. Rechargeable controllers? Yeah, I would much rather buy a whole new controller when it can't carry a charge anymore than just a new battery pack or even a new pack of AAs. Besides, the USB cord is usually too short to play while charging. DVD upscaling? Also cool. PS Home? Interesting idea. I deleted mine so I say useless. PS Store? Okay, it's a bit different than XBL Marketplace but I can't say one's better than the other. Less kids with mics? Mute button. Endless list? Looks like it just ended to me.

So, is PS3 dominant? No. Is Xbox? Not really. It's all opinion and preference. I have both and a Wii so I don't care too much which is better as long as the games stay fun.
