Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5917 Registered: Jul-06 | 360 because there are bad a ss games but those things are so f ucking unreliable.Right now I have my cousin's all in pieces because I have to fix the heatsinks...and I also worked on my brothers today and fixed the disc drive. PS3 sucks because there's no games out for it.Next year there should be some games for it though. |

Blu ray is only useful for TRUE Hi-def fans, not some sh!tty "Hidef RCAs" that the Ps3 uses, so it's basically pointless. 2. GTA 5 is also going to be released on xbox 360. We also get Saints Row 2 (first one was a GTA killer) 3. The majority of bugs in the xbox360 was fixed. The PS3 also had allot of bugs when it first came out, its very common. 4. You are probably using Windows XP right now (just like the other 90% of people that complain about how crappy Windows is, when it's the only OS they have ever used) |

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1121 Registered: Sep-05 | ^If I ever bought another gaming system it would be a 360. I love GTA. I have GTA2 for Dreamcast, GTA3 and Vice City for PS2. GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas for Xbox. Vice City for PC, and Vice City Stories for PSP. I can wait for GTA IV to come out on PC. PC > Xbox > PS3. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6664 Registered: Nov-04 | Try this before you bash one. Put XBox360 and PS3 side by side. Then add up all the "accessories" that you'll need to make it compliant to PS3. You'll find out that PS3 is cheaper and has much better quality parts. If you don't want to admit that, then put in a dvd movie and play it. Tell me which system will allow you to enjoy it without wanting to bash the noisy system with a hammer. Before you say XBox360 is "way" better, do compare proper games. Right now, most games are ported to both 360 and PS3 without much code modification to save money. Therefore, it'll look the same, meaning it's 720p, not 1080p for PS3. I like PS3 mainly due to HD and quality. Until PS3 makes games that were meant for PS3, it'll look as good as XBox360. |

What games are out there for it?The only ones I can think of are Assasin's Creed and Kane and Lynch. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4116 Registered: Nov-05 | specs vs specs http://www.gamespot.com/features/6125087/index.html?type=tech "Performance: On paper, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, it's quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU's the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU's on the PS3." PS3 will out shine Xbox 360 when developers can actually use the capabilities of PS3 to their full advantage. Until then Xbox 360 will be the one to buy. |

I dont think you ever used "lynx" because it's Linux (not exactly a common typo). And then your comparing sound (like bass) to HD video. Two completely different things. And no better RCAs will not even touch what Bluray could do. It would look the same as if it was on a regular DVD. Not being an a$$hole or anything, just i belive in correction. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6669 Registered: Nov-04 | No one said it was easy to make games for 1080P. That's why $hittysoft chose 720p. Anyhow, those "known" issues were from 2006. I don't have any problem with mine. As I have stated before, once games are made FOR PS3, then you'll start seeing why it's a better machine. I'm surprised no one's making an issue of XBox's very loud and super annoying cd AND fan noise. Maybe it's cause I have both system and not biased? Look at the pieces inside the unit. This reminds me of Mac vs PC. You can have almost identical machine in spec wise, but one will perform like $hitty Vista. Seriously, what can be more annoying than a loud fan noise during a movie? |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 821 Registered: Apr-07 | I've used both, but I do think the PS3 pulls ahead. There's several games coming out now for it where there hasn't been a whole lot since it's release. Call of Duty 4 is such an amazing online game, and the free internet part makes a great difference. Bluray kicks azz for me, I don't know about those who've had problems. I have 0 complaints with my PS3, and I've had it since it was released. |
|
Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 822 Registered: Apr-07 | ^ I have a 3 friends who own 360s, a grand total of 6 xboxs have been returned. They've ALL had the ring of death, and 1 guys returned his 4 times now. |

Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 15746 Registered: Oct-05 | isaac i am poor and i don't have neither. so i am not biased. also i guess the problem with blu ray was from back then so i am sure they fixed it. carry on while i put my foot in my mouth. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6670 Registered: Nov-04 | My point exactly. $hittysoft was only interested in making huge profit. No QA at all. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 15747 Registered: Oct-05 | honestly 2 of my friends had issues with their xbox and only 1 friend had issues with his blu ray on the ps3. if i were to buy either one it would be xbox only for halo 3. i guess that is why i am not too thrilled to buy one. my dream is to own both systems but i don't know. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 15748 Registered: Oct-05 | but i do have a blu-ray disc player and a hd dvd player so i don't need either of those systems to watch movies. besides i was never a big fan of watching movies with a game console. i have to have it separately. when is the new gran tourismo coming for the ps3? |

Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 434 Registered: May-07 | xbox 360, just becouse more games are out that I like. But if you watch alot of movies and spent big $$ on an HDTV, then PS3 all the way. Since I dont watch alot of movies, im all 360 and I have a standard boobtube. My 360 is almost a year old and works just fine. I think they mess up mainly from people leaving them on too long (like when they leave the room for a couple of hours) and also those stupid inter coolers f@cks 'em up too. Rob, how hard is it to fix the heatsinks in the 360's? Cant you add washers to some part on them and somehow it will effect the way it works? I used to be into buying broken ps2's and xbox's and fixing them, but never torn down a 360. |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 599 Registered: Jul-07 | you dont have to spend that much money to get a hdtv look them up you can even use a computer montior if you have a cable box tuner same thing tvs arint that expensive and if you dont burrry up and buy a hd tv those old ones thats not capable of doing hd in another year will be dead to you because of the hd upgrade to all channels and btw i just bought my ps3 the other day and its awsome just got to figure out how to get it online now i think i am going to sell my computer because the ps3 is like a computer |

I'd say it sucks...the way the machine comes apart is just stupid.But..you need 8 screws,4 that are 5mmX15mm and 4 more that are 5mmX20mm.You also need like 30 5mm washers and it's a b1tch to get off the old sh1tty thermal paste and then you have to apply arctic silver or some good sh1t like that.First time I did it the 360 didn't work.I had to change the pressure by adding washers.3RLOD FIXED.My brother's disc drive took a sh1t though.I just returned my 360 today lol, it kept freezing so I got it swapped out and I had just got it yesterday lolz.Oh well, it was expected. |

Gold Member Username: Crayola02008 Nissan Versa!!, Wisconsin Post Number: 2210 Registered: Jun-06 | I say xbox 360 i know 1 person that has sent theirs in to have it fully replaced with a new one for free. To me thats good service. My other friend has a ps3 and had to buy a fan for the back cause it gets so hot. even with the fan on i felt the back of his wall and it was on fire. |
|
Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 453 Registered: May-07 | "I'd say it sucks...the way the machine comes apart is just stupid" ^^^^ LOL, sounds like the thick PS2's x10. My friend got his 360 I think for last christams, and he's sent the thing in 5 times. Everytime its something different. It is good that they extended the factory warranty on 360's, but it takes 4-6 weeks to get it back. I dont know much about the ps3 cooling fans, but it messes up the 360's (mainly the nyko intercooler). If anyone buys either console new, I advise buying an instore warranty so you dont have to ship it off for a month or more at a time, and they will replace ANYTHING. this is a little off subject, but anyone know where to get a good tv stand for under $100? I just need some opinoins, I dont want one to fall apart on me  |
