Xbox vs PS

i could say the same thing about the left analog and right analog stick for FPS's on the PS3.

Ditto



Because I'm fucking BROKE!

Xbox outsold the ps3 due to it's online multi player fad, and there's that RROD

Online multiplayer is a fad? derp?

QFT. I think the online multiplayer aspect of current-gen consoles is its main appeal.

OT: I don't own a 360 or a PS3 yet, but I'm leaning more towards PS3. Tried out both, and I have to say I enjoyed the PS3 more.

I don't understand people who don't like the PS3 controller. It feels much more natural and responsive to me, over the 360's clunky, unwieldy design. Just my opinion though.

I've owned an xbox for about 4 years+. I can still say, I prefer PS3's controller more.

Besides my Xbox controllers keep messing up. Left trigger doesn't work on one of them, 2 of them have messed up analog sticks.
I remember playing on the ps2, and used the same controller without fail for the entire time I had it.

I agree with the common conception that the 360 controller feels good in a person's hands. It feels more natural in my hands than the Playstation controllers. That isn't to say that the Playstation controllers are uncomfortable nor unwieldy, just not as snug a a fit as the 360 controller. I also like the weight of the 360 controller. A misconception I know, but the weight of it makes it feel sturdier like it could go through much more abuse than a PS3 controller.

There's this thing called working and saving up.

Also happy to say I found the original thread, by bashing in 'Console' into the search bar.
Please for the love of lolis sticky it.

Would be helpful to just merge the other threads if possible.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, some of the posts were really helpful!! <3 (not toootally decided yet tho)

I don't know if it's that I've grown fond of ps controllers because of having ps2 for so long, but to my hands the Xbox controller feels kinda big and as someone said clunky =~= (maybe my hands are too small? lol is the xbox controller ment for a manly grip :D)

Someone also said that I should just go and buy the one which has more games I prefer - the reason why I'm asking you guys is that idk that much about the games they have, plus I was interested in gaming experiences.

I really wish that you wouldn't start arguing about stuff here - As for biased opinions, I'll judge them myself thank you very much.

And once again I'm sorry about all the inconvinience for the people that felt it troublesome to see a thread about this subject AGAIN, must've been a painful experience. (what I gain from this particular thread: the popularity and opinions between ps3 and xbox alone, since it's just those two that I'm choosing from + game suggestions for these two with the features of the kind of games I'm looking for + I kinda wanted to have a conversation with you gamers but maybe I should just keep my social needs to the chatrooms ._.)

Well the thing when it comes to asking about games is you are getting a biased opinion of someone to begin with. When someone tells you to judge a system based on its games the first thing you have to consider is the exclusives versus the multi-platform. Most multi-platform games are built on the PC, which makes them easily designed for the CPU and design of the Xbox 360, however the way the PS3 is built it takes more effort and tweaking for games to work correctly on the PS3. That is why you hear a lot of people saying that multi-platform games are better on the 360. That isn't the end-all-be-all by any means, but it is something to consider.

That isn't to say that if you choose to buy a PS3 based on its exclusives and the way the system is presented is going to screw up you up when it comes to multi-platform games, it is just that a handful of games don't operate as well on the PS3 as it does on the 360, but I can't think of any game off the top of my head that is broken on the PS3 compared to it's 360 counterpart.

If not games, then it comes down to the systems themselves, and many people have already pointed out the obvious pros and cons of both systems. Really though, this is probably the most balanced generation we've ever had. For all practical purposes, the 360 and PS3 are identical in almost every way. There are just minute differences between the way the systems handle online content, and of course the drive difference, but truly the difference between buying a game on a Blu-Ray versus a DVD is as of yet inconsequential. I don't care what fanboys say, there is no such PS3 game that could not be played on the 360 in terms of memory.

Even the failure ratings between the two systems are very similar now. Hell, I always thought they have been more similar than people give them credit for. Microsoft has a poor PR department and their failure ratings got blown out of proportion while Sony has always had a good PR department and kept the YLOD and other failure ratings pretty hush-hush. I'm inclined to think the 360 failure rating was never higher than 30% and Sony's failure rating was higher than 5%. Probably a lot closer than most people think.

So really it comes down to what games you want to play and what you expect from your online experience. Game wise, the best thing to do is look up some games you are interested in and read/watch some reviews about them, and keep close track of what games are and are not exclusives.

I'm a sony fanboy who never even played an xbox before. So despite the fact that my opinion doesn't matter I'll just go ahead and say it: Get a PS3.

i'v played them all.sony being the best of course playstation. i stay with thee one who brought me to the dance.

Hard to save up when your manager isn't giving you any hours to work and your bank account is draining like a siv from the student fees I still have to pay. Not to mention the cost of books, food, gas...

Sucks man I know how it feels being in that position D:
Have you tried asking for more shifts or look for another job to supplement your income?

Believe me, man, I tried. She keeps saying something about not being able to afford scheduling me or some shit. In the mean time, those student fees aren't going to pay themselves, and finding a second job is taking a lot longer than I'd like. What can I say, Ohio sucks.

Answer is this: GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE

Personally I adore the PS3 more than the Xbox...

I have reasons for that and it's not the whole 'PS3 is the best'
- The controllers are too chunky and are a pain to handle.
- There are only maybe 5 games that is exclusive to it tha I would bother playing (compared to the PS3 10 games)
- DVD player is not the best but I have to admit the PS3 blu-ray is just a nice bonus
- Does the 360 play normal xbox games? if so, then there is a pro point to it
- I am a cheap ass, so I would refuse to go online due to paying for it (PS3 is free)

Either way, I know twice as more people with a PS3 and that means more variety of games I can borrow off them.

Yeah, the 360 will play a good majority of Xbox games. There are a handful of games the 360 will not play, but that list is easily obtainable on the internet before hand.

Simply not wanting to pay for online content when you can get a mostly similar service of PSN is a fine argument by me, but I don't like it when people say that XBL is too expensive. Too expensive? $60USD is too expensive? Five bucks a month for online service is not too expensive, especially when people easily pay upwards of $30 a month for cable internet. I'm sorry, but adding $5 a month to that isn't going to kill anyone who already pays for cable internet.

Then again, I hate that reasoning in general, not just when implied to the console wars. Oh? You want to spend $300 on this stereo, but then when they ask if you want the extended 5-year warranty for $40 it it suddenly too expensive? How is that reasonable? You've upped your warranty for four years for a measly $10 a year, yet you already went out of your way to spend $300 for the stereo to begin with?

I mean if you only had enough money for the stereo then that is one thing, but still, don't complain that they are charging you an arm-and-a-leg for an extended warranty.

/ends rant

Fair enough but your talking about people who can afford it, I barely have enough left over to even bother with a paid service (thats why I appreciate the free service of the PSN)

Just remember one thing: An opinion is just that, an opinion
