[citation][nom]bangtime[/nom]you ps3 fanboys are ignorant elitist nerds. I own the 1st generation 360. i picked mine up the first month it came out. i never had a red ring, i never had hardware issues and have you seen the xbox slims? the disc drive is not loud. btw ps3 has issues playing some video files. with xbox, download the codecs and you are good to watch movies you've ripped from your dvd or blu-ray. 2 of my friends has had their ps3's crapped out and guess what Sony said, buy a new one or give us $150.00 and ps3 controllers is the most uncomfortable piece of crap since nintendo. who made that thing, Mattel?i'm not a fanboy, i play both systems. people talking about how bad the 360 is are ignorant. stop drinking sony's juice. both systems are good in their own way but for gaming, not one is clearly better than the other.[/citation]
Well, if the fact that I ONLY use my ps3 for downloaded movies and watching netflix makes me a ps3 elitist nerd(LOL >.>) then so be it. The point of my post wasn't to say "omfg ur tol noob 360 is liek suxxor." It was to say if your gonna start playing tit for tat all over again.. So be it. You don't make a blind comment about one sucking more than the other and NOT expect a jab in return. I jabbed. Deal it. I mean hell..the ps3 vs 360 fight has gone on since even before they were even released! It's no better than a Nvidia vs ATI fight. Rocks being thrown everywhere, but at the end of the day who cares. They all work, they all are great in their own rights, and the competition between the two is even more critical than what each product can do independantly. I just happened to only point out one side, and not the other. Maybe I should have taken a different route. Obviously you don't get into a fight with an idiot, because idiots will lower you to their level.. and then beat you with experience. (And so far you got me good. ;P) ((Like what I did there? ;D)
Now however.. I will agree with you on the controllers.. Jesus those things are ridiculous.. Perhaps thats why I only play games on my 360. Which just so happens to be my 3rd 360, because of RRoD. My ps3 on the other hand, is one of the original 60gb ps3's.. And I haven't ever had a single problem with it. Ever. Nor do I physically know of a single person that has ever had an issue with one. I couldn't honestly begin to give an accurate number for the 360.. beyond saying I have physically seen more RRoD's than I have fingers and toes. Which, I think, says alot.
The ps3 was a very well designed, well oiled machine, that has a remarkably clean image, with the exception of being more difficult to program for(which has no effect on the average consumer), the limited codecs supported, other OS functionality being removed, and the, frankly, not ergonomic controller. But most of those are only minor issues.. to a consumer. The ps3 has pretty much perfectly worked exactly how Sony has wanted it to work from day one. However, the xbox 360 was, unfortunately, NOT very well designed either, with many, many people having had disc's destroyed and consoles bricked(basically), so on so forth. But on the positive side of all that is the interface for the xbox is soooo much better than the ps3. I personally say the trade-off there isn't worth it. But that's just my opinion. You might say your not a fanboy.. But beyond that sentence, and another saying you play on both systems, you spoke nothing but bad about the ps3. Nothing good. So I'm inclined to believe you are a fanboy, despite your "claim". Sorry buddy. :,(
But on a purely hardware level, the ps3 is better. I even remember reading something on Toms once about a developer basically saying they have maxed out what they can get out of the 360, however he felt there was still alot of untapped potential in the ps3. But even so, it's still a "use what YOU like" playing field. I do like the 360 more in terms of playing games. Hence why I've endured the RRoD twice and still keep using it. But that's just me.
So their.. I put down my sippy cup of "Sony Juice" I've got. Can you now please put down the 40 you've been chuggin? Pretty please? ;P
