RTS on consoles are blasphemy. I just want Left 4 Dead DLC though..

video games on a console < paying a fat girl to suck your dick.
I couldn't really think of anything better than that. . .and the game is back on so I'm not going to waste anymore time on it.

I really have no idea what your argument is.

It is a better machine. It does not have the quantity of titles that the 360 has.

will the blu-ray thing increase sales and therefor have better titles in the long run? dunno how these things work.

Blu-Ray helps, and hurts. It drove the price up of the PS3, as did the complex hardware. I read something that said that Killzone 2 (the title mentioned in this thread) only uses 60% of the PS3's capabilities. Whether that is true or not, who knows, but developers are having a harder time developing for the PS3 because of the hardware. However, the PS3 has long term plans, just like the PS2, and I see it as a viable platform for plenty of years to come.
The PS3, imo, has plenty of quality titles. The 360 just has more titles. Generally big titles anymore are cross-platform so it doesn't really matter.
-
The 360 has better online gaming experience, IMO.

True - but I don't see any nagging shortcomings plaguing its online system.

rusty, there's really no reason for you to get a PS3, your TV only goes to 720p. if you're after a dvd player for it, just buy a cheap upconverting dvd player. if you want a game system, buy the 360.
-
I can't watch anything that isn't in HD anymore. It looks horrible. Blu-Ray is sweet. Playstation 3 will start coming out with more titles, yes. However, more titles doesn't make it better. It is the quality that makes it better. Yeah, go by a 360, play it for a couple months, get the RROD, send it in to microsoft, rinse, repeat. Great idea. Or you could just get a PS3, be able to play Blu-Ray, and not have your system break. Not have to pay for the online portion. (not that it's that much money). I don't know why someone would buy a system from microsoft. They know that they break, but they don't fix it? They just keep making systems that they know will break. The PS3's capabilities are much higher than the 360's. They say that the PS3 will be on the same level as microsoft's next system. (which will probably break.)

first of all, all electronics have some failure rate, included in "all" are ps3's.
microsoft has implemented a fix for the 360 problem. http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3472
if your 360 does break, microsoft fixes it for free, and within 2-3 weeks.
people buy the 360 because it's currently half the price of a ps3. it's also currently the most popular console and has the best online content and gaming experience. if you're only looking to game on a console, then the 360 is the way to go.
for rusty, it'd be stupid to spend twice the money just to be able to push 1080p content onto a 42" 720p television.

Ignoring the RROD stuff, you are wrong - the Wii is the most popular console right now. If you are only looking to game on a console, the Wii would probably be the best choice, as it does nothing else but game.
I agree though that Rusty wouldn't need a PS3 for blu-ray if he has a 720p television.

well, if you want to consider antiquated systems into the mix then you're wrong, the ps2 is the more popular console right now. :rolleyes:

The wii is not the most popular gaming console. It's the most popular novelty console.

How is it fanboyish? Gamers don't play the wii. It's not even marketed towards gamers. They've been able to crack into a new niche of consumers. Those new consumers are nursing homes and soccer moms. Those are facts.

Personally, I like my halo 3 machine. :shy:
Besides, I'd feel lame buying 1 PS3... http://youtube.com/watch?v=uh1jB4hVJRg

I own both and the PS3 has been neglected big time. I only liked 2 games that had almost no replayability.

This is kind of what I figured. Just thought it might be a good oppy to sell mrs. Michigancat on a vid. game console. (My current DVD player looks pretty sh*tty)

Seriously? Don't put too much thought into it. It's no secret Nintendo is marketing the wii to a completely new niche of people game developers haven't yet tapped into. I'd love to see statistics for the % of people who bought the wii as their first console.
And clams, the 360's with HDMI will upconvert.

i thought it might...i still have the old one, a little loud but i love it. watch movies on the ps3
-
Mine is one of the new ones. I usually watch movies on my ps3 since it is hooked up to the sound system. I usually use my 360 to stream movies from my pc.

Dude, gaming had been going mainstream before the Wii - and just because the Wii is used by alot of "non-gamers" doesn't diminish the fact that it is a gaming console with several good titles.
I'd say gaming started to go mainstream early this decade - video games used to be for nerds only, now it is for every middle aged dude who wants to play some crappy FPS or Madden.

I bought my XBOX in may of 07, got RROD in sept. did the towel trick, worked for about a month, got it again. Did the towel trick again, broke in december. Sent it in, finally got my XBOX back in APRIL. Broke in october and I sent it in and haven't received it yet.

that sucks, everyone I know that's had the RROD has been getting them back within 3 weeks maximum. you should call them and find out the deal because there's obviously a problem.

not a big deal, I don't play my 360, when my nephew and cousins come over they play it, cause they like halo 3. COD 4 is better IMO. Also, the fact that PS3 has blu-ray is the main selling point, I mean a lot of people don't have 1080p yet, but when HD first came out it was the same with 720p, now 720p is the norm, as will 1080p pretty soon. Might as well build for the future rather than having to buy a 360 now, then a ps3 later. Pointless to buy a 360 just to buy the HD adapter for 200.00 that then makes the 360 more expensive. Not to mention that MLB the show is probably the best game out for either system right now. I don't care if you like baseball that much RTTS is some serious fun. I played that for about 12 hours straight when I had my shoulder surgery.
Downside for PS3
- Not as many games
- Network not as reliable
Upside
- Blu-Ray player
- Much higher potential
- Works with bluetooth
- Has an internet browser
Downside for 360
- Have to pay for online networking
- System will break
- Pretty much maxed out potential
Upside
- More reliable network
- More games
- Has netflix?

If it's a "gaming console" with a couple good games (debatable) or not is irrelevant. The thing is marketed towards people who haven't traditionally played video games and it's very successful to do so. Steadily growing into mainstream and blowing up into mainstream are totally different. They skipped the middle aged dudes and went right for his wife and her old aunt who has to live with them because of her emphysema.
The only potential draw back is when/if the novelty wears off, the new market they created will fade and the traditional "gamers" will feel alienated and have no need to go back to Wii Fit and the endless slew of Mario games.

The wii has been marketed towards people who traditionally haven't played video games, but then again the entire industry has gone that way. The industry caters towards casual gamers now, period. Just look how easy games are these days, GMAFB.

I own the trifecta. 360 for playing games, especially online. PS3 solely as a Blu-ray player and media server to my TV. Wii for when the girls come over and want to play Mario Kart.
Just my contribution to the thread though I hardly read any of it.
