Xbox 360 Elite or PS3 , which to buy? - Page 2

Last message on previous page:
what am i on about lol, sorry i meant to say being a fan of the 360 you're using anything to put it down*

im beggining to wonder if you actually do own a 360... ?

You're crazy; if the 360's interface was so good they wouldn't be completely scrapping it in 9 days. Also, you say "fully customize* the dashboard" but only if you're willing to pay for one or use a free game related theme. You do realize that you can CREATE your own themes, replace icons, and use other sounds in the PS3's interface, right?

I own both systems, and it's nice being able to use ANY bluetooth device with the PS3 instead of first party accessories that cost a lot more from Microsoft. I use a bluetooth keyboard, and headset with my PS3 that my 360 does not support. I know I could buy the adapter for the 360 to use the controller on the PC, but I've already paid $50 for the controller, and an additional $15 for each play and charge kit. I don't know why you're debating; I still like my 360 and have been playing it a lot since Gears 2 came out on Friday. There are some things the 360 does better than the PS3 such as game invites and cross-game private voice chat. I'm looking forward to the NXE so I won't have to hear the disc drive any more as it produces the majority of the console's noise. Even with the update it won't be as quiet as my PS3, but any improvement is more than welcome.

My 2 cents: http://www.gran-turismo.com/en/sp/d2788.html

get any of them... depends on the game... graphics are almost the same.. i own both and i can barely tell the difference... they are both great depends majorly on the games u want to play...
none of them matches my pc though

Well I currently OWN both and will give you a few things to look towards.


PS3 I use mainly for BluRay, MLB the Show (not made for xbox)
yes the PS3 Online is for Free...which is why it does NOT run as well as XBOX's service. Hands down it's not the same. The AUDIO chatting is HORRENDOUS!

Metal Gear Solid looks great.


XBOX360 elite is the one i have (black one) with HDMI...

yes you have to pay for the online service but you get what you pay for. It is a greater experience to play a game with full enjoyment and when your able to play games like call of duty and everyone has a mic and can communicate during the game it's very nice.

Finding friends, Joining with your friends games is so much better for the Xbox.

I played a few games and I will say that from my own experience and my own hardware I have Madden 09 by far is better for xbox just overall look of the character models are sharper and whatnot.

Call of duty Modern warfare looked better to me on PS3, but the controls felt smoother on the XBOX.


Each system has it's own little pro's and con's.

Their both great and I enjoy both of them. When it comes to a game that uses a lot of communication such as Rainbow 6, call of duty etc.. XBOX is the way I go.

Gears of WAR, HALO... im not a fan of these games, clearly a ton of people are so that's another reason more people like xbox.

Most of the games, in fact all of the games I usually like are made for both systems except the baseball game.

one last note.. Games are 60$... it costs 50$ for the entire YEAR for the online service, that is seriously not a lot of money people.

I hope that helps your decision.

one system comes with a bluray player. and one doesn't... hence the price difference. So yes you get what your paying for. You want a system that also includes a bluray player then you are gonna pay the extra bucks for it.

is it better cause it's more... no, but i was referring to the online service subscription when i made that comment.


ps3 online service is free and audio is terrible and so are the friend invites and whatnot.
xbox is 50$ a year, excellent friend chat integration imo.... so yes you get what you pay for... a better service.

360 ELITE OWNS
PRO'S SUCK BALLS GET IT IN YOUR HEAD 120 GB AND MORE INTERNAL MEMORY FASTER GPU FASTER CPU AND ALSO SOON BUILT IN WI-FI ELITES DOMINATE

As an avid online PS3 users, I have no idea what you are talking about... when people use headsets that aren't piles of **** they paid 10$ for at Zellers, the audio is fine. The friends list is also smooth and easy to navigate.

The only real advantage of the PS3 is the integrated wifi, which was stupid of MS to try and make you buy a 100$ propriety one. The 360 has superior games, better graphics in general (unless a game is made soley for the PS3, but then chances are it won't be that great). There are some exceptions, but as a whole games run better on the 360 and look better. With the NXE, things get even better. He was considering the elite, which has a 120 gig HD. That's all you'll ever need on a 360. Some will argue that the PS3 has a bigger one, but that's because it NEEDS a bigger one because it installs games on the HD, taking up a lot of space. The 360 you can choose to just install your favortites to reduce the noise.

The superior games theory once again. This is completely based on opinion. At release of the PS3, there was barely any good games(I don't think there even was) but now they are most certainly even. The PS3 just came out with Killzone2, which has fantastic reviews. MGS4 won game of the year for 2008. LittleBigPlanet is childish, bit enjoy the game a lot. I have both the PS3 and the 360. Also, Gears 2 definitely did not live up to the hype it had. It was a great game, but it wasn't amazing. I beat the campaign, played online for a week afterwords then got bored of it. I started playing WarHawk for the PS3 again and with my brand new Dualshock 3 controllers, I enjoyed it even more than I did on day one. As far as graphics goes, most games are ported to the PS3 format from the 360 format.

I just said that the ps3 is either on par, or better than 360 ATm, but they exchange blows, lets not forget the red ring of death that still has not been taken care of.

Oh and 1 more thing, Xbox won't be supplying the coffins for free anymore So when ever you do get red ring of death you need to ship it and package it yourself.

OH and lets not forget the potential of 50 gig disk VS 8.4 gig Disks

I mean you won't get a game that as indepth as MGS 4 on Xbox ...I'm saying ANY, not just MGS, i'm talking about any company that will fill that 50 gigs, which gives them that much head room.

And don't forget that the Developer KIt was minimal at the begining.

Oh yes and most "exclusives" that come out for the xbox, usually get ported to PC, which I prefer playing on PC....Gears of war 1, Lost PLanet.

So you can get the best of both worlds.

Nothing against 360, its just its potential has been met a while ago, you won't be able to get anything else out of it other than exclusives, and they seem to be loosing them bit by bit....Bioshock....it even lost the first Ninja Gaiden, and Tecmo expressed that they preffered the ps3 for the next Ninja Gaiden..


So really you should look forward to Xbox 360 2 or 720 or 1080 because the xbox has lived its life, and has been a very worth opponent

I am sure it is getting rather close. Sony plans to keep the PlayStation on a ten year cycle, so the PS3 isn't going anywhere for a long time. Just look at the PS2, it is still on the shelves at stores and new games are still coming out for it. Also, from what I understand, developers haven't even gotten used to the PS3 yet so its potential is still yet to be reached.

I agree l1qu1d, the 360 is a great console, but I think its potential is pretty much reached already.

you forgot to add that the 360 has no Blue Ray support.... that is a MAJOR PS3 feature....
