If PS3 and 360 had exactly the same games...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Would anyone actually prefer the PS3?

I've just got mine working thanks to hackers who can now let you take a drive from another console and match it with another one, sweet. 60gb BC console for £30 :cool:

SO ANYWAYS, now I've been using it on a day to day basis, the whole experience is god awful. Once you download a few things, the games menu is a big list where you have to wait 5 seconds for the icon and name to load in.

That's if you could find what you want from the store. I know the original 360 marketplace sucked when it got a lot of content, but this takes the fucking biscuit. Why do I have to take an extra step to install it? I didn't just want it for the installer, god.

So the I play a game... 400 meg patch. Really? For fucking Pain? I'm surprised the games that big. So I give up and go to 3D Dot Heroes. 178mb patch.

Even fucking Steam doesn't patch this often and at least I can play other stuff while it does it. Really want to try this one so I do wait. Then it loads and it black screens so long I actually think it's crashed. But I can install to speed these horrid load times. Hey, I've only waited 45 mins to play a game, what's another half hour.

The games awesome at least and that is what matters. But if you had the 360 experience and these PS3 exclusive games, would you bite their fingers off?

[G]

no the ps3 is awful. why even make this. this will be a unanimous decision.

[MoFo]

I prefer everything on the Xbox.

From the pads, games, Xbox Live to PSN, everything Xbox does is superior IMO.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

So I could rant. Been looking forward to this for 6 months until I could finally repair it and fuck everything now.

[Boomer]

I like my PS3 a lot, but everything that is multi-platform I get on the 360. I don't really have any local friends with PS3s though, so it makes more sense to do it that way.

I'll say that if I was forced to get everything on the PS3 if my 360 broke, I wouldn't mind. I don't really have any major gripes with the system.

[El Fangel]

PS3 is terrible, that is all.

[alvarado52]

Their D-Pads are pretty good.

[dronepool]

I already prefer the PS3. 360 is good, but I stick with Playstation for now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hate the pads with a passion. Already bought an SF4 fight pad for d-pad games and gonna see if I can find one of those 360 looking controllers G posted a while back.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I really don't get the PS3 hate, but whatever. I definitely prefer it. To each their own, but I despise the 360 controller. Plus, from what I've seen, Netflix is a little better, and the PS3 is (or at least was for a long time) more reliable.

Of course, the fact that my PS3 is backwards compatible is a huge plus for me.

Oh, and the PS3 Media Server program is fucking godly. Pretty much the best for streaming whatever is on my computer to my PS3.

[CSL]

:heart: my PS3

[CSL]

PS3 is terrible, that is all.

In the words of Snoop Dogg, eat a big fat dick.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's all about the content in the end, which is why I have one and am hoping Demons Souls will repay some faith.

Mines also BC and since I missed a lot of PS2 classics, I'm looking forward to using it.

It's just the speed to do things that bugs me, both in execution and presentation. It's like I have an extra 5 minutes to do something compared to the 360 or even the Wii.

[dronepool]

Yeah, I like the X-Box at a friends house or whatever but I always hated the controller. It is a good system but like I said I like the PS3 a hell of a lot more.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Shoulder controllers on the PS3 are god awful.

You do know you can hit square to categorize the shit you download, right? It'll break it down into PS3 games, Playstation games, and I think Minis too. They'll each have their own folder, and it doesn't take long at all.

[El Fangel]

So you are happy about having a PS2?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, but then every-time you homonym the folders, the icons have to load again.

So you are happy about having a PS2?

I am. Why wouldn't you be?

[El Fangel]

I am. Why wouldn't you be?

I already have a PS2, why would I want a bigger more expensive one?

[CSL]

I already have a Master System, why would I want a bigger more expensive one?

[CSL]

I already have a mini fillet, why would I want a bigger more expensive one?

[CSL]

I already have a laser disc, why would I want a bigger more expensive one?

[Team Sheep]

PS3 hands down. Just because I wouldn't pay for online gaming because I barely play games, and for the blu ray player. And I've had all the Playstations so I'm used to the controller.

[Razzamajazz]

if they both had exactly the same games the ps3 would win out because of the blu ray

[What Would Kevin Do?]

So you are happy about having a PS2?

When did you become retarded?

It's not like I bought a PS3 because I wanted a PS2. The fact is though, it saves space, as instead of having two machines on my shelf, I have one. Convenience is a good thing.

Same logic with it being a Blu Ray player too. Much more convenient to have one machine that does both, as opposed to having two things on the shelf.

[Kane Knight]

You're smarter than that, G.

Never. Discount. Fanboys.

Navigating the PS3 with a large content list is pretty ridiculous, though. And the update process is utter shite.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I always forget about the blu ray player just because I primarily use my PC for blu-rays (region free :cool: )

So we've got media, free online and joypad as reasons, fair enough. But could anyone argue that the process of sitting down to enjoy a current gen game and booting it up is better on the PS3? Because it's just frustrating me.

I've never been this disappointed in an OS since I installed Windows ME :(

[LoDownM]

It's minor, but PS3 doesn't need to be connected to the internet to stream stuff from a PC, 360 does. That would sway me if they had the exact same games. Would much rather sit in a comfortable recliner watching stuff on my computer then sitting at my desk and watching , when the internet is out.

[Lara Emily]

PS3 also does Mp3s better then 360, having to rip CDs to get Mp3s onto a 360 for custom soundtracks in games is awful. Much easier on PS3 where you just transfer via USB or even copy off your media server

[Extreme Angle]

I think you've put me off getting one :lol:

You can play MP3's from a USB stick or media streaming on 360 too...

[D Mac]

Like I said before PS3 is the choice for media. Xbox for games.

[Lara Emily]

Yeah I know but for the longest time the only way to use your music within say SD vs Raw was too burn a Cd and rip. Turns out you can actually stream media player playlists and use them as custom soundtrack options in say SD vs Raw which is cool something I didn't know about. (Always need to have your PC on and connected to the network though which is a tiny pain)

That being said PS3 is still the most efficient you just copy a single mp3 over, choose it in the game and you're done and it's always there.

They are both great systems in the end.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Not really. Other than custom themes for SDvR, you can use any source as custom soundtracks while playing.

[Kane Knight]

So...You brought up...An outdated point...As to why the PS3 is better?

PS3 used to be 500 dollars more expensive! You're totally better off getting a 360.

:wtf:

[Kane Knight]

Though the best arguments for the PS3 really are other media.

I suppose BD capacity is nice, but it goes mostly to redundancy because they skimped on other specs.

You could say, it's got a lot of redundancy.

[Lara Emily]

In the end I have both and like both but I would end up probably choosing PS3 if forced to for bluray and more efficient media management

[Kane Knight]

"Management" is probably not the word you're looking for.

[Funky Fly]

When I eventually get a PS3, I'm def going to only use it for PSOne classics, the Joker mode in Arkham Asylum and a handful of PS3 exclusive titles.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah exactly. Bar the PSOne stuff (I have a PSP for that), but Demon Souls, 3D Dot Heroes, GT5, Yakuza 3/4, Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4 make it worth picking up cheap. Especially since I can play all those PS2 games I missed too (including a translated Namco x Capcom :heart: )

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably go with Xbox 360 due to the controller and XBLA being a bit better overall than PSN and the PS3 controller.

I hate how the lower shoulder buttons feel on the PS3 controller and never was much of a fan of the D-Pad being done like buttons although the Xbox 360 D-Pad isn't any better when compared to Nintendo's D-pads for feeling.

[Majunior]

I just can't get into the PS3. I don't do anything online, no streaming, none of that. So for me, it's just a matter of games I own.

I'll take the 360.

PS3 doesn't have any exclusives that really fascinate me, nothing that is, IMO, a system seller.

[Kane Knight]

One thing I definitely like about the PS3 is it doesn't need proprietary shit like a WiFi adapter (older models, obviously), memory cards (again, older models), HDDs (all models, barring physically fucking hacking it).

Not that I ever wanted/needed WiFi for a home console BREATHING on a 360 leads to disc scratching.

[Dirk Ziggler]

Ps3 has only one thing over xbox. Blu-Ray. And for games like Metal Gear Solid and FFxiii this serves well. But xbox live is years ahead of ps3 as far as any sort of "net"online service goes. Plus you have gamerscore over fucking trophies and the xbox has a better controller in my opinion. So no. I would have zero use for a ps3 if it weren't for the exclusives.

[Eklipse]

I've had 3 360's get the RROD on me within a year and a half of buying them new. So, I didn't want to spend money on another one. That's the main reason I bought a PS3. I also threw in the fact that it plays blu rays, since me and my fiance are really big into movies and stuff. So, based on my personal experience and preferences, the PS3 is a better way to go.

I'm not a fanboy. I've considered maybe buying another 360, but am reluctant to.
