i read somewhere that it was much higher then 36%

oh no...well before the fanboys infest ill give you my impressions
here are your options
A. xbox 360 pro with 60 gb hdd+xbox live= 350+tax(estimate), plus about 50 every year
B. xbox 360 arcade +60 gb hdd+xbox live= 350+tax(estimate), plus about 50 every year
C. playstation 3 80 gb hdd, free online= 399+ tax, free online
other than the 60 gb ps3(which is rare to get btw) backwards compatability sucks on both
both have a great selection of games(unlike all the bs you here from the 360 fanboys stating that ps3 doesnt have good titles)
xbox 360 top titles- gears of war, halo, fable
ps3 top titles- uncharted:drakes fortune, metal gear solid 4, resistance: fall of man, little big planet
other ones not mentioned are multi-platform games
downside to xbox 360, best selling games usually end up on pc anyways where you can either buy it for a cheaper price and get free online play on it(a lot of ppl that bought it for 360 and have a good pc get mad at that lol), or you can pirate it, another downside is paying for online features, and if you want wireless internet access you have to pay 100 bucks for the wifi adapter
downside to playstation 3, online play isn't as organized as xbox live, having to listen to 360 fanboys rant and rave over ever ps3 vs 360 topic, every time you get a game you have to install some data to your hdd
upside to having a 360, great online community, getting some exclusives(cant really think of more atm)
upside to having a ps3, web browser capabilities, free online connectivity, wifi ready, bluetooth ready(if you have a bluetooth headset at home you can use that to chat with people), blu-ray player as well
those are all th epoints i can think of...it might seem a bit one sided but its all factual....in my opinion ps3 is a better console and now that xbox 360 doesnt have such a heads up lead with the exclusives i can honestly say that this year might be sonys year to win the console war
what you dont realize though is that they both have an extensive lineup and ps3 has quite a few exclusives...the most notable exclusives for 360 are gears of war, halo and fable...and imo halo is wayy overrated and so is gears...and other games are multi platform
Halo is like eating a bread sandwich; tolerable, but why would you ever do it? I agree.
Gears, as much as I love it, is overrated also. It's a lot more worthy of the praise it does get, though.
So go for it, what's PS3's extensive line-up? What do you achieve or gain by buying a PS3 over an Xbox, as a gamer (Casual or not)?
well im not trying to side with either but atm ps3 exclusives consist of
uncharted drakes fortune- very underrated game which includes lots of challenges and excellent story
metal gear solid 4- though ppl act as if its the greatest game ever....i'll admit its a very good game and the story is great along with the gameplay(though not the greatest gameplay ever)
resistance fall of man 2- it plays pretty similar to halo but it has more fun gameplay modes....better arangement of weapons(though it has the advantage of coming out a while after halo 3, the original resistance was equally better than halo)
little big planet- though not everyone likes it...its a very good game that anyone can play and put their creativity to the test..very innovative game as well
and there are still other games coming out in the future which will be ps3 exclusive...another thing too is if you go to gamespot and look at upcoming releases you notice how less and less 360 titles will be released while ps3 titles are increasing as time passes
hate to burst your bubble, but 360 still has more ANNOUNCED release dates then the ps3, having games in the making is cool and all, but, there not worth mentioning till there's a release date stuck to them as far as im concerned, i mean, look at duke nukem forever.
I see norrin's point perfectly though, most gamers in general, already own a 360 due to the fact it came out earlier, is cheaper, and such, and this is the public sony pretty much has to take back(core gamers, at least). and, to be honest, there is almost virtualy nothing on the ps3, aside from MSG4 to make a 360 owner want to purchase a ps3, speacialy since alot of ps3 titles are poor ports of 360 games =/
i would honestly recomend for evryone who is thinking about getting a ps3 to wait until late 09, and see how things go.
hmm well i agree about the 360 coming out first and all...but atm ps3 is only 50 dollars more but you get 20 gigs extra hdd space and free online/wireless online....
and as the games go i just finished browsing through gamespot listing exclusives from each for each month for the year....turns out 360 had 3 notable exclusives while ps3 has 3 as well
ps3
Killzone 2
Infamous
uncharted 2
360
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Halo Wars
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
there were a few exclusives each had but i didnt mention since they werent that important
and about the games being ported from the 360...no theyre not since the games have to be coded in a different format which is why a lot of companies had a hard time releasing games on the ps3 at first....the games arent ports from 360 though
and about the titles..tell me what are the greatest titles 360 has other than the 3 most mentioned ones(halo, gears of war, fable)
and just to mention since i played halo 3 nearly to death back in the day and gears of war i will openly admit resistance 1 and 2 were both way greater than halo(reason i compare those 2 is because they share similarities), uncharted is way better than gears of war(reason i compare these 2 is because uncharted has a cover system very similar to gears, only difference is that uncharted actually has other things to do...you have to solve puzzles throughout the levels etc etc where as in gears all you do is run cover shoot which gets repetetive after a while, fable i wont judge since ive never played it but im a huge fan of fable 1
So does the 360. Although it doesn't have the other FF title, but I doubt it matters unless you're a Final Fantasy buff. :-/
The PS3 sitting on the cold floor, isolated by itself in the den with NOTHING SURROUNDING IT seems to have some heating trouble. It could be facing a huge amount of problems that I'm not sure I can identify. All I know is that this mother ****er better stop giving me PSN errors and slowing down on me during Valkyria. Can my tank smoke a little without the FPS dropping below 20? CRIPES.
Get a PS3, we have Lair.
i have an xbox 360 and i dont regret it, great games, decent price with a good HD (some stores actually pay back some of the money but i think that action is over) XBL is really worth the price 60€ for one year is cheap
what does suck is that most games have downloadable content that costs to effing much, like Ace combat 6, hardest missions (ace of aces) cost 350 MS points EACH, and there are 12 missions, planes cost 300-500 MS Points and there is a shitload of them.
though i like the idea of playing games like duke nukem 3d and sonic the hedgehog 1&2 over XBL, thats fun to do
a huge selection of games for the 360 like gears and halo as stated by others (but i dont get whats so good about those 2 anyways), dead rising, banjo-kazooie nuts and bolts, etc...
though i cant say much about the ps3 except for the prices, but thats just because of the blueray, i dont see alot of game titles that really make me go "damn now i wish i had a ps3" because most of them are racing games or shooters (maybe resistance and killzone 2 but thats it).
uncharted made action puzzle games fun, it took the tomb raider series and made them good.
MGS4 showed what a games story line should be, but yes i do admit that it wasnt as good as the hype said it was
Reistance 2, are you dumb? why would you compare R2 with gears 2 there completely different, same with lost planet and fallout3, then you dont need a xbox at all if you have tetris.

Real men buy ps3's
Real men also use apostrophes in their correct places.
First; Ok, now how many of them are worthy of console purchase, as opposed to just being names of games? Exactly. Anyone can be impressed by an alphabetised list of games.
Metal Gear Solid 2 was the last Metal Gear to have any kind of decent writing. Hideo Kojima has long since disappeared up his own ***, you see. You're like everyone else who feels they have to say that it has an amazing story, it doesn't. It DID, at one point, but then it did what happened in The Matrix Reloaded, it overcooked itself.
As soon as The Architect appeared in that scene with Neo, all the dullards started wetting themselves, calling it smart because they didn't understand it. Those of us with brains realised that he was saying simple things in complicated ways, just because the Wachowskis wanted to seem smart. Kojima has done the same.
Metal Gear Solid was a thriving, pulsating and atmospheric game with a tremendously exciting and enthralling dynamic, gameplay, characters, setting AND storyline. Notions of mistaken, created and born identity, finding ones place in the world and how circumstances of existence shouldn't blind you to the fact that you exist anyway were amazing themes for a video game of it's time, especially on the Playstation.
It then descended into a sob story.
Uncharted made Tomb Raiders good? Are you serious? Tomb Raider: Underworld is better than Uncharted. I had more fun playing all the Tomb Raiders than Uncharted. It's got good graphics and a cover system, how unique. It made puzzle games fun? Yeah, as in, easier.
The kind of people who like Uncharted are generally the kind of people who moan about not being able to walk while you shoot in Resident Evil. For those people, Capcom made Devil May Cry. A nice, bright, easy game with infinite ammo and the minimum of creativity.
Uncharted is for the kind of people who played Tomb Raider 3 and cried because each level was fiendlishly difficult and massively long. Yet, there isn't a more rewarding adventure game out there.
Personally, I think Tomb Raider: Underworld was brilliant. Not perfect, but then what is? It still beats games like Uncharted based on merit.
None
Go for Wii :D
PS3:
better graphics, free multyplayer, and metal gear solid 4.
Enough said.
I wouldnt trade my gba for any of them; if i would, id sell it and buy a gba again.
But i guess the 360 is superior, at least IMO.
Is it the dumbest thing you can do? I think you broke that record in your own reply.
It's not only about longer, it's about better. More gamers generally enjoy the 360 because it's got the better games for them.
I'll get back to why this massive argument fails on an immense scale in just a second.
Ok, so when are they going to start using all this potential to actually start justifying the hype and the pricetag?
You can sit there like a fanboy and use the "potential" and "power" argument all day long, until the cows come home and the chickens return to lay their eggs. It won't change the fact that it's a 'fraidy cat argument.
Is that all you BS3 fans have? Falling back on what it can and "will" do, but hasn't done? I'm sorry, but until it does all this, your argument is worthless.
If I get into a ring with Floyd Mayweather and my punches do nothing, and I therefore get beaten by the more efficient fighter, what would you say if my excuse was "Yeah, but I totally have the potential to beat him."? You'd say "But...you didn't, because he's better. When you prove you can beat him, we'll agree.", right? If you have any sense, that's what you'll say.
Why is the BS3 any different? Why is it accepted to fall back on can and will? When will it actually do this? You think that using 20% on Fallout 3 to Xbox's alleged 80% is proof of anything? So what? It can run Fallout 3 on less, well done. It doesn't even look or run noticeably worse on the Xbox, so it's a dumb argument.
It's like the Bluray Vs DVD argument. I don't actually sit there not enjoying my films because the resolution isn't the best possible, because it doesn't add anything practical now.
Ok, so I'm going to ask; is this not lost on you?
Do you not see that all your arguments revolve around "Can", "Will", "Could"? What about now? If the BS3 delivers, then we can talk, but so what? Xbox delivered and keeps delivering. BS3 might justify itself by the time Microsoft come out with their new console, which will be better than the BS3 by miles, forcing Sony to make a BS4.
There's a reason Sony fail in this fight. If they're not fighting to their full potential, that's their own problem. Potential is promise, it's nothing to go by in any concrete manner.
Which would be why loads...and loads...and loads of people are losing faith in it, yes?
I have done this debate many times, in real life and on forums, and not once have I see a pro-BS3 argument that doesn't rest on, if not revolve around, "It has potential!", "Think of the future!", or technical specifics that essentially mean nothing. Not once.
Go buy the world's best home cinema system that money can buy, everything top of the line, tech-wise. Ok? Then you tell me what it feels like to sit down and watch either a blank screen or Mean Girls.
Exactly.
What good is power and technical specifics if you're not using it?
Sony have a history of over-hyping their tech specs, also. In the run-up to the PS2's release, they said you could use it in government to launch missiles. The thing can barely run Resident Evil 4.
"Fallout 3 runs on the BS3 with 20% power!".
1) That's a blatant lie.
2) If it's not, then why the need for the rest? Games are not going to get that much better in the time the PS3 is born and killed.
Think before you dive in. I know you'd love to believe that the PS3 is some mega-dom machine that'll last you MANY years, but...it really will not. In five or so years, less maybe, there will be a new one, and the PS3 will be obsolete.
Consoles are not multimedia investments, no matter how much you wish to believe it. I killed that argument for good a long time ago. I'll do it again if I have to.
The funny thing is that x-box is releasing a new system 5 years after their crap box 359.5 and Sony being sure in their product aren't panning on releasing a new system for the next 10 years.
Hahahahaha.
"The 360 looks like a toy.".
Because the PS3 comes with a supermodel girlfriend and a membership to the "I'm mature!" club, while you sit there playing Little Big Planet.
Please think before you type. It's embarrassing.
You couldn't debate properly when I wasn't one, so my name being green doesn't change anything.
Not necessarily. The N64 still wipes the floor with the PS1, and most of the PS2. PS2 has much "better" technology at its disposal.
I'm going to issue you a challenge, ok?
Give me a pro-PS3 Vs Xbox 360 argument that doesn't involve you using stuff that hasn't happened yet, as back up.
Go. I want it in your next reply. The PS3 didn't come out yesterday, it's had time. The Xbox 360 was flying by this point.
So? The PS3 has had plenty of time if what you say is true. Here's something to think about;
If it needs so much time to find its feet, maybe it's not actually got that much power, because surely it would be easy.
Yes, why wouldn't you? If something has potential, that's fine, but you can't use potential as an argument against something that is actually happening. It doesn't matter if the PS3 is potentially better than the Xbox 360, if it doesn't fulfill that potential, it's all been for nothing.
I'm waiting for your argument, then.
Sony is not comprised of three men working in a Japanese technology store at the back of a mall.
It's a multi-national, billions earning corporation of hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of employees.
You're trying to say they're over-worked? Is there honestly any shred of credibility left in your claims that you are not a fanboy?
Who said it had to happen overnight? The Playstation 3 first went on retail availability in the end of 2006, that's just over two years.
Nobody expects overnight success and satisfaction, but for the stomach-churningly high price, people expect more from Sony's Playstation 3 than they have got in the two years it has been out.
It's becoming indefendable, quite honestly. This is an absolutely unacceptable return for a two year old console, when you factor in that consoles have a general lifespan of what...five years? If that? Even less now that most are backward compatible.
Would you say "You can beat him!"? I can't, and that's the point. Potential to beat him means nothing, because I can't fulfill it. I would step into the ring and he'd box mine, or anybody else's face off.
You're misunderstanding the word "Potential".
Potential is just how good something could be in theory, with the knowledge of that item. It has to be fulfilled, if it isn't fulfilled, then it's wasted.
You believe it will, two years of proof suggests it won't.
Yeah, all three games of change. Brilliance from Sony.
It's not just getting started, the thing came out in November 2006, what are you talking about?
That's acceptable to you? Having to wait two years for the console you shelled out for to reach mediocre status, and still hope that one day it'll all align?
You're deluded, sir. It's been over two years.
Read that back to yourself.
"I don't care if the game is run the same, or looks the same.".
So yes, you're a fanboy, because you just wanted it for Sony, so you could justify the failed purchase of the overhyped paperweight. I see through you better than the time I saw through Kate Moss when we used her as a Bat signal.
*Insert flashback humour*
Well, you're wrong. Resident Evil 4 was downgraded heavily for the PS2, because Sony fans kept whining that they didn't get it. Then, just like sheep, they got happy when Capcom said they were adding a new gun and a flashlight option. The former isn't even in-game, and the latter is so ineffectual it's untrue.
It's there, but if it's as miniscule as it is in this point in time, then you cannot successfully use it in this debate.
Nobody is getting worked up but you, Kaitos.
I don't "Have it in my head", sir. I've just systematically taken apart your argument, and just because you dislike THAT, doesn't mean you can ignore the fact that it did happen.
And you believe that, in all seriousness?
Are you mad? With what? Mario?
Umm Metal Gear Solid 4?
They're adjusting games to the bluray, that takes time. They could have released it in a year and wiped xbox off the market but the demand was too high.
Name me a PS2 game that touches Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie or Conker's Bad Fur Day for quality, imagination and sheer fun (Which is what it's about).
Hell, give me a PS3 game that matches any of those games for those qualities. There are none, in my opinion.
New doesn't mean better. All the water physics on Uncharted doesn't make it a better game than the sheer mastery of Goldeneye.
Umm...no. I asked for an argument.
The demand was too high so they didn't do it? Yeah.
Reminds me of when someone I know said "If these trains weren't so packed, people would use them more.".
Seriously, just re-think and evaluate what you're going to argue here.
LMAO wow and you accused Kaitos of being a fanboy? PS3 Ok name me a single xbox360 game that compares with the creativity of Little Big Planet.. Hell name me a single game that does...
Wow you're argument on an economic base are laughable. If the demand is high enough people will come out with hardware while not all of the kinks have been worked out. The fact that you flame kaitos on the fact that he says ps3 has way more potential is laughable. Look at the shier fact that crapbox still uses DVDs. Talk about an outdated product...
Yes, yes I do...
He's a fanboy because he religiously defends Sony. I support whatever company gives me something I can have a lot of fun on. Historically that has been Nintendo the most. Sony have done it, so have Microsoft. There's no element of fanboyism there.
Secondly, I don't find Little Big Planet to be THAT creative, just really fun. That said, fun is subjective. Some people think Halo is fun.
Thirdly, I'm not FLAMING anybody.
Fourth...ly, I'm not denying the potential. I'm saying you can't use that in an argument because THAT'S...ALL...IT IS; "Potential". Do you not understand that?
"It's potentially better!", so what? That means it has to fulfill the potential or flop. It hasn't fulfilled the potential yet, and I won't say it has flopped because there's time left, but it has been two years and there has been nothing of value, nothing to show that it's EVER gonna live up to its hype. That is absolutely unacceptable.
They had all that time to work on it, all that time to hype it, and it's been two years to even get it to mediocre status. PC World rated it highly in their Top 25 Failed Marketing Schemes I believe.
Fanboys say otherwise and ONLY fanboys. That's how in love you people are with Sony. If the PS3 didn't get really good until another two years, you'd say "SEE! TOLD YOU!".
You, for one, think the PS3 will last ten years. In February 2019, I will email you. We'll see. If the PS3 is still alive, kicking and without a PS4 in sight in the next FIVE, I will mail you $/£200 of my own cash.
& You base it all on your own self. Congrats on that ability.
Must feel really good to know everything.
So what? Am i supposed to ride my time machine into the future for the facts?
Hahahah Yeah man, only if i get to drive the delorian. Um, Can i borrow yours?
I know you have one. Cause i say it. And im RIGHT!
Heres where id normally say:
Lemme get you some KY so you have a place to put those opinions
But i wont this time....
Fact = Undeniable truth, provable beyond all doubt.
So, this whole "The PS3 will fulfill its potential and do better than the 360 ever has, or can." is just you guessing and hoping, isn't it? Yes.
I'm guessing too, but mine is based on things that have factually and undeniably happened, like the PS3 taking two years to be considered mediocre and a "gamble", as opposed to a flop.
You have nothing but insecurity.
I'll let that slide as friendly trash talk.
The next time you spend a whole reply doing nothing but trolling, as opposed to countering argument, you'll get a warning.
I have no problems debating, but if you're just going to reply with bs, you can forget it.
I just read the first post for the first time.
And from what I know, he wants the one with better looks?
I say ps3?
I don't understand him xD
Honestly, I don't need walls of text like Norrin to defend a console anymore. I bought a PS3, I like it. That's all that should matter.
Norrin, hypothetically, if your 360 starts shitting bricks, and the PS3 starts to develop a better game library, would you buy one?
Wow you guys are still at it? Just settle for something, you are both right. Norrin is right when he says that x-box is better at this point and Kaitos is right when he says that PS3 has a wider potential. Just drop it at that and let the guy decide. For all we know he already bought a Wii.
1) I'm not defending a console.
2) Why does one definitely have to get shitter? Is it honestly that hard of a concept to you to admit that the 360 could conceivable stay as good, or better?
Regardless of what happens to the 360, if the PS3 actually develops an extensive library of games I see as worth buying the console for, then yes. If they're coming out on Xbox too, then no, no point. Because, by the time this might happen, new consoles will be on their way.
I thought the original Xbox was shit, and it wasn't until I saw four or five games I could instantly go out and buy that I decided I'd get a 360. I'm not a mug.
Most people think they HAVE to get one, so they do.
i was offline so ill respond to this one now
thats actually a very good selection, uncharted is a very underrated but great game it is pretty linear but are you gonna tell me that halo and gears of war arent 100% linear at least in uncharted you get the challenge of having to figure out where you have to climb through etc etc
resistance 2 cannot be compared to gears, lost planet or fallout 3 since they are no way similar, resistance is a sci fi based fps which plays pretty closely to halo which is why i compare it to that...and resistance 2 provides a challenge unlike gears or lost planet...gears can be beaten asap..even faster if you play co-op, lost planet though i love that game and it was the reason i got a 360(due to it being an exclusive at first) is still very easy as well
that just leaves metal gear solid and little big planet which dont need any more hype since everyone already knows theyre great
yes i understand 100% that ppl purchase what they enjoy and im not trying to take sides at all here im just honestly annoyed at people making it seem as if 360 is far superior than ps3 when in reality its not, i'll admit 360 is a good console but you guys make it seem like your comparing a ps1 to a sega saturn here the 360 being a ps1, and yea some people who bought the console due to some promises made a wrong choice, but 360 had few titles that were cancelled as well or if not pushed the release date way furtherQuote:
If what you say is true, then wait to see if the PS3 delivers all this promise and then purchase it if it has games you want. People made the silly decision of buying the PS3 off hype, where as Xbox 360 planned their releases.
It's not about the amount of games out, it's about whether you enjoy them. Some people enjoy Metal Gear Solid 4, and to some, that has justified buying a PS3. However, anyone buying anything based on PURE promise is, pardon le French, incompetent.
That's what hype is, it's hype, nothing more. Everyone who has bought a PS3 can't go back, Sony have their money, so whether they justify the hype or not, they win.
like i stated before gears of war is much more linear than uncharted due to the fact that you just run duck for cover and shoot and the storyline doesnt have any twist or turns, uncharted the gameplay might be kinda linear but at least it switches up from shooting, exploring, riddle solving and the story has some twists in it(though something that mightve been predictable) it still made for an interesting game.Quote:
Uncharted is nowhere close to Gears, in my opinion, and it's saying something about your taste for you to suggest otherwise. Uncharted is as linear, if not more so, than Gears. Uncharted is a predictable, unoriginal mess. It even rips off Gears of War.
gears is a basic cover and shoot game..its pretty much the game killswitch but in the night time with lots of gore, ive yet to play banjo 3(but im a sucker for platformer games so i might love that one), dead rising is coming to the wii so thats no longer an exclusive though i wont lie the game was good for about half hour its still nothing great...i guess it was a good game to hold 360 owners over until a good game came out, halo series plays similar to a ps1 shooter, no cover system, no headshots(unless you use a sniper rifle only), theres just nothing about halo that screams greatness to me to be honest i played red faction 2 way more than i played halo and still play it now.Quote:
Let's talk console exclusives then, overall:
PS3: Metal Gear 4, Resistence 2, Little Big Planet.
Xbox 360: Gears series, Banjo 3 (Pretty much beats those games on its lonesome), Dead Rising, Halo series (I don't like them, but many, MANY people are into them, and so chances are they're gonna appeal to someone buying the console).
yes those are exclusive to 360 to my knowledge but the playstation network offers new games in the psn store though duke nukem and doom are classics psn offers tons of ps1 classics and new games of diff genres in full 3d and hd graphics which are exclusive to the ps3 i wont really list them since itll take up too much space but if interested you can go toQuote:
Not to mention the amount of exclusive Marketplace games, like Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, Worms etc (Not sure if they're all Marketplace exclusives, correct me if I'm wrong by all means).
http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Store#{%22__s%22%3A{%22id%22%3A%22downloadablegame s%22}} and look them up
it was offering way more and used to be the only one readily available, ps3 had promises, but now ps3 is releasing everything back to back its steadily making its rise again but people dont seem to notice that, i guess theyll just have to see for themselves in a few monthsQuote:
It's just offering way more right now, and it's readily available. PS3 has promises. I don't spend money on promises...anymore.
again i know it seems very one sided of me but i think both consoles are great and i'm just posting this because i dont want people thinking that sony is completely slacking on the ps3 or that the 360 is god of all consoles when in reality at the moment theyre equally good if not ps3 is slightly better atm, but then again to each his own some even after reading this will still claim 360 is wayy better than ps3 just because its the only console they own and they want to defend it, i guess i can understand that feeling but meh i guess this posts done now lol
god how many threads of this has to be made. why can't you just use the search button. ps3, the end.
OH YEA PS3 OWNS ALL!

ps3 is better overall IMO
i myself dislike multiplayer so it may be me but resistence CoM and resistence 2 had me held long enouff to get all trophies and emblems and medals and everything
lets say shooters: the ps3 controller isn't good with em but they have an adapter that allows you to use the 360's controllers for fps and it responds better then the actually 360 for certain games
my opinion may be biased due to me hating multiplayer and not getting xbowlive and rarely using psn

I know what you mean when people only say get the ps3 because it WILL be good, i know that, i think the ps3 will do the same thing as SOCOM confront. remember when it first got released it sucked right? couldnt connect to matches, weird glitches, ect. then a few patches later it is MUCH better, most of the glitches are fixed and connections are better, plus there are trophies and Party support.
the ps3 will do the same, After Killzone2, infamous, and black 2 come out, it should be getting more attention because of those games. I do suggest you should wait untill those come out and get the killzone2 ps3.
Plus from first hand experience i found the failures of the 360, when i went to my buddys house, i played CODWAW on his Brand new Xbox elite and it froze 6 times, mixed up the profiles and disconnected from the server plenty.
but i dont really think of the xbox as a bad console, i just perfer the exclusives and the reliability of the ps3, plus the free online is cool.
but with the ps3 you can buy ANY harddrive (be it USB or internal) and just slide the old one out and put the new one in, you dont have to hunt down a special harddrive.
and i dont know why you keep saying Blue ray is irrelevant, if you wanted to play MGS4 with DVD's you would have to ship the game with 5 disks.
i like wireless because then i dont have to buy a new Ethernet cord and run it 40 meters across my house from my Modem to my ps3, plus i move shit around a lot so its nice having less wires.
but i do agree with you when you said that all Consoles are outdated, since technology changes every month, im going to buy a Wirless power Transferer, there so cool, then when i get enough money i will plant them in my counters and stuff, so i dont have to have a cord to my blender and stuff.
But i think we are getting a bit off topic, since the OP said list some reasons for which one i should get, we arnt really helping.
