PS3 vs. Xbox 360

[slipknotpsycho]

i actually did it alot... lol.... if tehre's just one computer, we take turns, seeing who can do the best and whatnot... and i've been known to get on my wife's comp (while she's not here) and let someoen get on mine, and play games...

they can be pretty social lol... just depends on the people around you... some people can't afford decent computers (ones that could handle the newer games with no problems) a decent rig can run up quite a bit of money... but seeing 2 or 3 computers in a single home is becoming a more common occurance...

plus not to mention they're no where near as limited as consoles are.... consoles will always have a set ammount of features and you can't break those boundaries... a game doesn't support a headset? guess what on console you have to deal without.... but same game pc, you can get a ehadset to work, just getting something like teamspeak...

and the real kicker... is a game isn't online compatible on console? well, on pc you can make the game online... i've seen it done myself with vice city lol.. it was called multi theft auto... can't buy it in stores or anything, it was just some random programmer who wanted to make vice city online, so he took the game (the one you buy in the store) messed around with some of it, and turned it online, all you needed to get on was like a 5 mb (i think, something small like that) file put in one certain folder...

of course there was a lot of problems with it (when i found it, it had just been out like a month, it was still really buggy, that was a few years ago i'm not sure if they got everything worked out or not) but the point is, the only limitations with pc's is how much money you can put in it, and your own imagination...

you can even play 2 player offline games just by getting a dual screen video card (pretty common these days) and putting in a 2nd porting for mouse and keyboard, of course it's not just plug and play (i can imagine there would be some software to tweak with but i know it can be done as i've seen it done)

PS3 vs. Xbox 360 k, yes it's been done, but it's been awhile. maybe people have reformed their opinions in the matter. btw, price doesn't count... let stick to the actual specs of them.... not just the games that are released as of now (because of course lol, xbox has been out longer and had more chance so far to produce games) but... the potential..

Needless to say, a good gaming PC is 2 or 3 times more expensive then consoles.

You're aboslutely right.

And what criterea are we using to determine what system is best? The only argument I've heard for the 360 is "A guy I know has one and we play cool looking games on it", or "The graphics are so much better". This isn't true. It's also a matter of opinion.

Like the screen shots that were posted. Am I the only guy who thought the PS3 screens looked better? The lighting was much more crisp and well defined.

I've said it a hundred times though...screen resolution and good graphics an awesome system does not make. It's about quality of games.

I think some fanboys are just hung up on the 360 becayse it's been out longer.

I had a ps2, i never liked xbox. I gave the 360 a chance and i love it. I don't mind paying 40 pounds a year for online, that's nothing to me. It's great you get to d/l loads of demos, can send voice messages, voice chat, join ppls games, there's so many things. I have GOW, but i never play it coz i don't like it. I prefer more realistic shooters, which is why i play rainbow 6 vegas and cod3 most, but mostly RB6V. I used to play halo 2 but like i said, it's too unrealistic for me, i hate shields.

I think the reason xbl is better then ps3 online is because more people will be playing it, therefore more competition. Especially with mlg... The ps3 may have the same games as xbox 360 but its not worth spending the extra amount of money for graphics which aren't largely superior to the 360's. The price has doomed the ps3, i may buy it in a years time when it has good games and is actually being sold at a reasonable price.

It's the blueray drive thats killing the cost of the Ps3. without it, you're looking at a pretty affordable console. No one really cares about the blueray disk though so no ones jumping on it.
