The New Xbox Experience also lets you install games to the hard drive, so that advantage is taken away.

Many PS3 fanboys constantly use the "potential" argument. The fact is, the console has been out for over two years (not including pre-development time) and it continually fails to live up to it's "potential". There is nothing that can be done game wise on the PS3 that can't be done on the 360 too.

I realise I am coming across as a massive 360 fanboy, but the fact is, my previous two consoles were the N64, PS2, so I profess no brand loyalty. I simply pick the best games machine having weighed up the factors, and to me it's pretty clear that the 360 is the pick of the two majors this generation.

if you look closely at all these comments there either

A realisitic point of view of people who own both sytems. They seem to agree with each other and are not derogatory of the other console.

Then there is xbox sux with no valid points , just plain ignorance.

Its a conversation that will have no end and at the end of the day will serve no purpose.

well duh... the title alone says "fanboy callout"

I have no brand loyalty... in fact i was a PS fanboy and nintendo fanboy and vowed to never ever own a XBOX... however after weighing it up i chose to get a 360... well the fact it was free helped but even then.

its basically a repeat fo PS2 vs XBOX

the only difference is that the roles have been reversed and MS got their console out a good year before sony and sony are now struggling to claw back because despite having on paper the best console its just come into the game too late the same as MS did with the XBOX when the PS2 was already fundamentally established regardless of the "inferior" tech.

+1

I totally agree.

Im going to buy a 360 to replace my old xbox, after i play the new doom and halo 3 it will go into the linen closet where the old xbox is after i finished doom and halo 2.

Does anyone know when is the new doom( not sure if its called doom but the games about being trapped on space ship with deamon zombies or something) is coming out, and will the 360 play it or are they going to upgrade the 360 again.

I only like these two games, doom because i remember playing the origional doom years ago and have been hooked ever since and halo because, well just because. : )

PS3 FTW!!! Why pay for online play when it is free on PS3! BluRay, Bluetooth, easy to "upgrade" HDD to 300GB, Gran Turismo, Killzone 2 enough said.

EDIT TO ADD - XBox can be bought cheaper though, and does have some good games. I had a Wii but took it back as the OH never played it. Have never owned an Xbox of any kind not because I think they are rubbish, simply because I like the PS more. I also would buy a PS just for Gran Turismo alone. The amount of hours I have played 1, 2, 3 and 4 is beyond me, have not played 5 prologue much though, still play 4 HD on PS3 because it has the R32 GTR

Is there gunna be any new console release any time soon?

Because i would hate to buy a xbox 360 or PS3 and a new one comes out a sort time after.

Not that i heard of. Where are you thinking of purchasing the console?

So far i think JB prices are the best.

One query though, are warranties on the PS 3 any good at all? Is it worth to get the warranty?

Worth it... my sisters one died in the arse after a month and they sent a courier to pick it up and drop off a new one at the same time.... by new i mean refurbished.

She ended up hardly using it anymore now, instead you know what she got?

My old PS2 with a bunch of HDDs i had with heaps of games on it... why... cause sing star on the PS3 was shite apparently lol

Another flame war,

I own all 3 consoles, can say:

Wii is crappy graphics, aimed more at family types, not good, would skip it, plus the Wii Fit told me I'm overweight :) now i've lost 10kg, i'll go back and challenge it

Xbox360 I play the most because it has the best at the moment racing games, although once GT5 comes out, it should be better, as long as it has damage mode for once

You'll only notice blu-ray dvds on the PS3 if you have a 42"+ TV and you are sitting at least 6ft away, for me I'm sitting 4ft away from my 1080P 32" and don't notice any major difference from the upscaled dvds, maybe a bit of motion blurring is the only thing.

Graphics wise, both are so similar, the Xbox has the better graphics chip, but the PS3 has more cores on it's CPU, meaning that games can be written to add more textures on the PS3, it's just developers find it so hard to program for.

Streaming videos/DivX both play them off PCs, Xbox uses Windows Media Center or Tiversity, PS3 uses Tiversity, both run fine, no slow downs at all.

In terms of price, Xbox is getting really cheap, I picked mine up with 3 games for $399, PS3 is still $750(NZ prices) if it was a budget thing and you wanted to play games now and not wait till May-JUne for GT5 next year, get the 360 + Forza 2, then next year get the PS3 with GT5 bundle or go for Forza 3 which shoudl be out at the same time.

Forza isn't actually bad at all, infact i can say I enjoy it more than GT3-ASpec, GT4, GT5 Prologue, but it's not quite as good as GT1 or GT2

    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
