PS3 or Xbox360?

[pwrcat1]

My bad. Two franchises. 360 has Halo, Fable, Too Human, Gears of War, GTA 4 has exclusive content, even Final Fantasy XIII is exclusive. So I'm failing to see why a glorified movie player will be better in the long term. I own both, but the PS3 is worthless, besides it's blu ray. Online play is awful.

MGS4
GOW3
Uncharted
Resistance
R&C
J&D
Heavenly Swoard
Ninja Gaiden Stigma
Motor Storm
Little Big Planet
Warhawk
not to mention Castlevania Symphony of the Night on PSN
yes, the PS3 really doesn't have any good games.

FF13 isn't a 360 exlusive and since sony owns 19% of square inex they make money off of every copy of FF13 sold on the 360 anyway.

LOL. What an awesome list of "okay" games there. Resistance? Really? That was awful. Now, I said exclusives. 360 has Ninja gaiden. XBLA has Castlevania SOTN. GOW3 and MGS4 are the only really good games worth mentioning.

And yes, FFXIII is a 360 exclusive. the PS3 Japan will get it, but the 360 gets it in Europe and the US. If you think Sony owning a small portion of the company makes it any better, let me know when you see some of that profit. LOL, Motorstorm!

Azcat- just an fyi, the 360 is able to stream the music and movies as well with externals. Both the PS3 and the 360 can also stream from your pc's. Not recommended for HD movies as it get's pretty choppy on both from the network lag.

you must be a total chick magnet.

Not any more. I'm married.

People with 360's- check out the Too Human demo. It's really fun.

FF XIII is NOT a Xbox360 Exclusive.  Japan is getting it first.  THEN Square is porting it over to the Xbox 360 for N.A and Europe release along side the PS3 Version.

QFT. I never got what was so great about those games...

[pissclams]

I hate games where you have to figure stuff out.

Sony's games division turned a profit for the first time in ages this quarter but the company is pretty much a train wreck.  I doubt they'll subsidize the PS3 any more than they already do, it's already outselling the 360 and will only gain momentum going forward.

ok, so i read here that the $399 ps3's HDD is going from 40gb to 80gb.  that's something at least. 

[kstater7]

360 price drop coming in September. FWIW.

In spite of previous reports that BioShock looks "no different" on PS3 than Xbox 360, IGN is claiming otherwise. They note that the water effects look better, and the texture work has been cleaned up. "It's quite obvious that 2K is taking full advantage of the PS3's Blu-ray discs to pack in cleaner high resolution textures for every facet of the game."

The new Survivor difficulty mode is wildly praised by the site; they go into much detail about how "every bullet counts" in this PS3-exclusive mode. From the sounds of it, it will be a nightmarish journey for those that want to pick up the game's Platinum Trophy.

you don't notice crap like that. online play, funnnnness of games (to play w/others), those things matter

[pissclams]

not to saul. saul notices that crap.  he also notices when something says microsoft on it.  and hates it.

Except Windows Vista, or XP, or Server 2k3/2k8.  I'm a software fanboy for Microsoft, I really dislike Mac or Linux fanboys. 

Funny thing is I dislike all other Sony products (besides PSP).  Overpriced crap, especially the televisions.

Hardware matters, man.  It just does, been proven time and time again.

In the end, the graphics are very comparable and not even a factor for me. It's all about which games are available (MGS4 is a great game, but people always go back to quality multiplayer games like Halo, GoW, COD, etc.), quality of online play (PSN sucks. It's laggy most of the time and NOBODY uses a head set- a must for team games and playing with friends. Anyone who has used all three system's online play should know which is far and away the best), and now the 360 brought integration of achievements and XBL into every game and the dashboard seamlessly is also important to me (the 2.40/1 update does/copies this, but Sony made a HUGE mistake not making this mandatory for all games to have "trophies." Also, the XMB is awful compared to the 360).

[Saulbadguy]

PS3 has plenty of quality games.  I guess it just depends on if you like online play.  I think Halo and GoW suck, and CoD sucks on consoles imo so online play isn't terribly important to me at this point.

[fatty fat fat]

in terms of reliability, yes. but for little details, it does not.

apparently, the 360 has terrible reliability.

That's the thing, right now the differences are just starting, but near end of life for both systems you will really see the difference. And yes the 360 has terrible reliability but getting better, especially with the new jasper chipset, much less heat output.

IMO, the PS3 has one quality exclusive game. The 360 has a couple handfuls. And it's not just online play. GoW, Mass Effect, Fable, Too Human, all depend on single player (with coop as an option) to make a great game. Look at XBLA. A game called Braid just came out and Gamespot gave it a 9.5. A really good score for just an arcade game.

Good thing is most 360 exclusives will be (or have been) released on PC. So how can you call them exclusive?

Oh, come on.  I'd rather play those games on PC than 360, just for the keyboard/mouse factor for FPS.  I wouldn't consider a game I can play elsewhere "exclusive", JMO.

In any event, I tend to play more non-exclusive games.  I have no interest in Halo (it sucks IMO) and those other games, but games like Soul Calibur 4, GTA4, NCAA/Madden, etc, so I don't see how the library is such a huge advantage.  It's not.

the pc is in no way a competitor to a console.  you're alone, there's like 40 of you people left and you're all WoW'd out worse than Cartman ever was.  game developers really don't care about the few remaining relics that cling to their keyboards and mice like pookey did to his crack.

Disagree completely.  PC has survived the test of time (through ALL consoles) and there are many genres that will not translate successfully over to a console., like RTS and MMORPG (huge, huge market).  FPS will always have a hardcore following because FPS are totally gimped on consoles.
