Johnny Drama User ID: 1032222 United States 07/18/2010 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not really a gaming person but I have the PS3 and it's superb. I would never buy a 360 because it's based on old tech. I mean, no Blu-ray? That's crazy. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1033103Other than the lack of BR player the Xbox is identical to the PS3 in almost every other way. Sony started designing the PS3 chipset and then Microsoft basically jacked the design. They chose to save money [and therefore the price to the consumer] by going without the BR player. Thats the ONLY reason it has sold so many units. Seriously, why pay to play games online when you can play the same game online for FREE with the PS3? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1040540 Ireland 07/18/2010 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I still want to buy one. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1039345Thats crazy because I'm 40 years old. Oh well I'm still a kid at heart. Bro.. go get yourself a console. You're missing out on some of the greatest stories and adventures in the history of human art. Almost every game of note is either rated 18 or M. Let's say this again, one more time... maybe the fucking MSM will actually hear it too. GAMES ARE NO MORE OR LESS FOR KIDS THEN MOVIES ARE. There are kids movies and there are grownup movies. Barney is rated U or G... Scareface is rated 18 or M. Games are the same. LEGO Batman is rated PEGI 7, which means kids can and should play it (it's simple colorful fun). However Red Dead Redemption (recent chart smashing spaghetti western game) is rated PEGI 18 or M... which means kids should not be playing it as the game is aimed at adults. And as I said above, pretty much every good game has that 18 rating. Ergo... the primary market for games is adults... it's you and me my friend. There is only one true gamer generation, the legendary Gen X, and we might be gettin old but we're still playing. |

Brwnstown User ID: 897397 United States 08/08/2010 02:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Electronics break does not matter what it is, dvd players etc.. My son and I have one of the original 360's from launch and just this past winter I had to replace the dvd drive, no big deal the lasers wear out after hours of gaming and movie playback... It comes apart easy the new drive was less than 20 bucks problem solved, I also cleaned the GPU,CPU chips while I had it apart put new thermal paste on and cleaned everythong else as well... And have had no problems... Most ppl keep it in a cabinet etc. where it doesn't get enough airflow which helps cause the over heating problem, as well as never cleaning the vents on the system.. They are dust magnets... |

Jitag User ID: 1061163 China 08/08/2010 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | my philosophy: 1. About the video game, consoles are major for the console only games, which sometimes are great, sometimes kinda lame, get all your multi-platform games on a supreb PC, that's the best way of enjoying the game! 2. About the console: Not sure how the old 90nm xbox360 goes, my dul-65nm works smoothly for 2 years, and the best thing which PS3 couldn't compare is that, my xbox360 could load a torrented game from any kind of usb driver, it's region free with all xbla unlocked ... what else can you expect? anyway, will get a slim with Kinect when they are avaiable, looking forward to that~~ |

Prisoner of Technology User ID: 792783 United States 08/14/2010 09:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So many let downs. Been waiting for this game to drop for a long time. No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are. Perceived circles or lines are not exactly circular or straight, and true circles and lines could never be detected since by definition they are sets of infinitely small points. |
anonymous coward User ID: 1123713 United States 10/08/2010 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've had my 2006 arcade 360 til this day. No problems whatsoever. The reason there's any failure rate at all is because no one knows how to take care of something. Gaming online for hours,putting systems in cabinets with barely any ventilation... keeping the system dust free... Its common sense. |

dereistic User ID: 846424 United Kingdom 10/08/2010 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Xbox 360 is the biggest piece of shit I ever bought. Had mine for about 6 months, then it started ejecting my games, it would take about 2-5 minutes before it finally stopped ejecting. Then that shit would just freeze randomly. Finally got the RROD, so I got a used one at gamestop, got home, played it for about 10 minutes, another RROD. Exchanged it for a different one, got home, plugged it in, RROD, didn't even get a chance to play it. So I bought a PS3, haven't had any problems at all with it.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 754216um ya, technology does break down. The point is I have 4 friends that are on their 3rd Xbox !!! All of my friends who have a PS3 have not had any problems at all including myself. Yes the PS3 can fail too! But you have to admit the hardware is built so much better on the PS3 and you don't have to deal with that ridiculous Battery Brick. |

I own both because I like the God of War games. But when it come to online play xbox is better. And it should be. You pay $60 a year for it. |
Anthony77373 User ID: 1122121 United States 10/08/2010 01:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh yeah I almost forgot this about sony. "Sony is considering to follow the actions of game developer Electronic Arts to charge users who buy games second hand an online fee, which means that owners of second hand titles will not be able to participate in an online multiplayer game until they pay. THQ and Ubisoft also followed Electronic Arts’ actions afterwards, and now it seems that Sony is considering going through with it." "Sony told Gamesindustry.biz that it supports these plans for a second-hand game online fee, and also that it is thinking to charge for its own first-party titles." Won't be free for too long.

Most of these dumbasses have their consoles in places that are not recommended. What dumbass puts a console on top of another console. Plus the manual says not to place them on floors. Other then that, playstation killed it with number 3. Especially once they started losing most of their exclusive rights. The first few years for ps3 had a real bad lineup and they just started picking up on good titles. I hope they stay in the game though. I'm still a Sony fan at heart. |
