my friend just bought a ps3 a week ago and he got online in graw2 and ever room was laggy as hell u could'nt even walk he put up with this lame ass system for a week so he got tired of it and traded it in on a trusty 33% fail rate xbox360 but hey online works like a charm i'll take that trade off anyday lol anyways now he's happy and can finely play an online game with no problems cheers:thumbsup:
it was either his connection, or GRAW it's self.... R6V is said to lag too...Quote:

seems pretty much no one really has much of aproblem with it, it was his connection.
yea, you shouldn't shoot down a whole network, just because your friend's connection was lagging. there are lots of factors that can effect the network:the game your playing, how good your connection is, how good the other peoples connection is, how busy the server is. i played lots of games at my friends house who has a ps3 and online is smooth most of the time.
When it comes to the Internet, you've got to understand that you need to deal with lag at times. Anyone who knows a lot about computers like I do knows that, and will agree that there are many times where it's server-side, which you can do nothing about... and that most of the time it's temporary. Or it could be just you, and you have a bad connection that can't push those packets out or receive them as fast as it would be recommended. With PC games, there are even more factors, such as if your system sucks or not. With a PS3, however, all games should run fine on it, as it goes for hardware.
ur right not with the ps3 but ps3's online service it sucks and it was'nt the graw2 cd as it played perfect offline and it was'nt his connection as i hooked up my xbox360 and it played just fine as he has comcast upgraded to 8mg instead of the reg 6mgQuote:

The x-box is done completely differently. Sony games each game runs its game servers but X-Box hosts all of its games servers to my knowledge.
I have a feeling ur not from ireland since u have ebgames and comcast.
so wait a second, your friend was trying to get GRAW2 to play with no lag for a week straight?Quote:

speak for yourself,.. ive had my ps3 online for a good few months and i dont think ive had one problem.Quote:

you know after the spat in spirituality i've tried to be farily nice, but it does upset me when you take cheap shots at me (i mean after all i am the only one who ever speaks of the 33% failure rate) and haven't even fully backed it up with actual events...
well really the 33% thing has been said by more than just u.well in responce to what u have said but said by others none the less. and i was stating a general statement so don't go getting ur undies in a wad, and why u bring up another subject that has nothing to do with this one? iv'e already forgot about all that shit.move on...i have.Quote:

That's my fav game which i play almost everyday. My fav leve is casino vault or kill house, i like to use the mp7 or Ak, sometimes mess around with the spaz lol. Amazing game.Quote:

Had no problems with GRAW2 at a friends house online, lag time was minimal.
Xbox360 is nice, but it personally doesnt have any games on there that I really like. If I want to play fps games, Ill get a machine meant for it, like a PC. And outside of the FPS's for it, there isnt anything all that sweet for it.
lol no router,and no games u say um ok last time i checked it has 100's of games out for it the ps3 is the one with no games and the games that r coming out for it is already out on the 360 so where u get ur info on that i don't know but show me where ps3 has a bigger selection of games??and if i had to pick from playing say vegas on 360 or pc i think i'd stick with 360...don't get me wrong i play alot on the pc but the pc does'nt have a online set up like xboxliveQuote:

and if it's the ps3's problem, why has no one had problems with the online? someone has already explained why ps3 may have lagged, while you could plug in your 360 and have no problems.
although i must say i doubt the credibility of this thread entirely, you said he'd been trying a week to get GRAW to work, not PSN. when i proved he couldn't have been trying to get it work for a week all of a sudden you changed your story around a bit to compensate.
as for of forgetting that whole ordeal, hardly...

you just mentioned it a few days ago in another completely unrelated thread... this also relates to the statement: "why u bring up another subject that has nothing to do with this one?"
you did the same exact thing, just in a diffrent thread. can't fault me for faults you, yourself share.
what does the gun thread have to do with u u act as if ur the only person iv'e talked to on here i debated with hardcore newb way b4 u came along and graizlovesmary so what i said in the gunz thread had nothing to do with u and as far as this thread i don't care if u believe im making it up i'll give u the # to the ebgames around here and let u ask them for urself how many people have been complaining about the psn i have no reason to lie like ur trying to imply.if u don't like the facts it's not my problem lol hell ur acting like u have stock in the p/s company or something i mean if u want to think that ur ps3 is 1000% perfect then fine im not trying to tell u otherwise im just telling of my friends exp in the matter.Quote:

like i said, you can't fault for me something you have done as well ("and why u bring up another subject that has nothing to do with this one? iv'e already forgot about all that shit.move on...i have.")
i also never said my system is perfect, it's quite the oppisite actually, it's you and others who talk as if your system is pefect, while continually trying to degrade mine (Which of course sparks me to go on the defensive, I.E. the only reason i'm here)
i have even in the past said multiple times they're equal (as of now), but it's pretty much impossible to get the same curtousey from some of the 360 fanboy's here...
That 33% failure rate is just the highest of retailers estimations. I've seen figures as low as 25%, or even 3%. Slipknot just seems to like and try and bash the 360.
yea he also like to try and twist words aroundQuote:

lmao ur gettin lame, biased lmao i stated the truth of what happened to my friend that loved the ps systems btw and im called biased lol. ur starting to show ur maturity.Quote:

and the big deal is i'm tired of all the unfounded ps3 hating i've seen for so long, and it doesn't matter if i throw fact in your face, or even go with the humble side and admit they're both great systems, it always has the same end result...
all i can tell you is if you post something like this, don't expect me to just ignore it or not care. fine i'm petty, if that's what you want to hear... i DO care... for reasons i do not know.
i also garuntee if this thread had never came up and i posted something of the same equivelant about xbox live or 360 i'd be met with pretty much the same reactions as you're getting here.
and you're starting to show your reading ability...Quote:

well they have been out for what 2 years now it's not like it's new anymore
Exactly... it's like Slipknot is trying to compare these two consoles as if they were released at the same time. The 360 was out longer, so a 60% drop in sales now is by no means a bad thing.Quote:

either way, a 60% drop in sales is still significant... (especially coupled with the public announcment of the problems, and a 135% sales increase in ps3.)
lmao oh well im outta here and i doubt i'll be back on this site so seeya don't want to be ya im out
The fanboi's for all sides involved in this "console war" are retarded in my book.Quote:

I have friends who are 360 fanboi's to the core, and I just chuckle at them, the same as the ps3 friends of mine. Xboxlive is great if you enjoy playing fps games on console, which personally is about as enjoyable as running a barb wire fence through my butthole. PS3 online is great again, if you like fps games on console. I havent seen alot of games that used the online portion of the console, except fps games.
You all seem to be attacking both systems with propaganda.. lmao..
the truth is, people have different tastes so until one of the systems has the CLEAR upper hand, all your doing is blowing smoke up everyones ass.
Both systems have their ups and downs.
if im not mistaken thats what iv'e been saying all along so i guess u must be talking about sumone elseQuote:
