Buy Games For Xbox360 Or Ps3

[Pattygtst]

They are exactly the same. You wont even notice a difference graphics wise. Games amde for ps3 and then ported to 360 will look a fraction better and vice versa (you wont even notice the difference.) The ps3 downloads files to the HDD so it reduces load times.

What is this about xbox live being better? Because you have to pay for it you want to believe your money is being well spent? Stop being a fanboy

edit: also don't forget some sites compare the ps3 to xbox graphics using the ps3's composite cable which is NOT hd

Rubbish, i dont know what sites your talking about but realiable well known sites compare with the highest specs for both. Ie gamespot and ign.

Don't quote me but i am pretty sure it was actually IGN who got busted doing this roughly a year or so ago.

Well until you can prove other wise maybe you shouldnt make such statements. You wouldnt want to look like a fanboy now.

XBOX360 still seems to have the best ports. A great recent example is ghost busters. it looks much better of XBOX360.

I tend to buy most of my games on 360 as well due to gamerscore. I think the gamerscore is better than trophies.

I am the complete opposite of a fanboy. I can appreciate any console and would love to play gears of war but just cbf going out to buy another console for a couple of exclusives. I asked around on the forum i first saw this and they can't remember exactly what site it was but they do remember it.

My guess it would have been either GT, gamespot, or eurogamer. But it was a long time ago.

Unless anyone can link me to a thread good luck, i'm not going to waste hours of my time just to prove a point to somebody who thinks every site is the nicest website in the world and acts with integrity and doesn't favour one console over another.

Yeah they look much better on the 360 because they are designed for the 360 and then ported over to ps3 because it's easier to code for and cheaper. They don't even look too different anyway, have a look at patty's post.

When it comes down to who looks better... there is no winner. GoW looks amazing and so does MGS4. GT5 looks stunning and so does Heavy Rain.

PS3 for sure, the games hold there value much better in resale, a couple of months later 360 games are worth stuff all and the PS3 games are still worth a fair amount. I would know, I own a 360 and a Wii.

yeah but that goes both way, which means in a few months you can buy cheap games i have owned both hands down xbox 360 i do a bit of online gaming and the xbox is just way better for online use, the dash board is more user friendly and the media centre is a extra bonus. main reasons i bought a PS3 was for metal geal solid, final fantasy and GT4. final fantasy is coming out on 360, GT4 is still not out and metal gear solid was average. just my 2 cents

[typevu]

MGS4 is not average. I still play it and still reckon its the best game of this generation.

[Pattygtst]

MGS4 was a special game although not for everyone. It has to be appreciated for what it is. A stunning masterpiece. Although i personally didnt find the gameplay all that fun and the story was so cheesy i could puke. The graphics where up there with the best of them and it had a massive appeal to alot of people.

[kralster]

MGS has very average game play, but the storytelling and scope is second to none.

dont get me wrong, MGS4 had it's good points but just didn't tickle my fancy as much as 1 & 2 did they are some of my all time favourite games

360! fight night 4 is awesome

[Pattygtst]

At the end of the day what matters most is a full 1080p tv setup. I laugh at all the people who complain about how one console has better graphics then the other yet there using a standard definition tv.

The main problem with the 360 is the propensity for the 3 red rings of death due to the shitty cooling system, but if you're the first purchaser and have resisted the urge to open it up for whatever reason, you can get it repaired free of charge.

Red ring was a problem YEARS ago. They've well and truely fixed and dealt with it. Havn't heard of anyone getting it for ages.

I have an Xbox (never had red ring) and my xbox pretty much is constantly on, downloading content. Main reason I chose xbox over PS3 is because I wanted it for online play, I find it much more fun than local network or by yourself. Xbox live system is far better than the PS3 network even though you have to pay for it. Xbox also has exclusive downloaded content on Xbox live for instance GTA IV - Lost and Damned released on Xbox live an expansion on Grand theft Auto IV for about $30.

Why is XBL better than PSN? The PSN also has exclusive DLC lol.

I have had two brand new consoles get the red ring of death this year. Last one happened a month ago and it was definitly one of the suppossed "new" model where they have fixed it.

So no i dont believe its no longer a problem...its supposed to be less likely to happen but still does.

maybe you should look harder

Having owned a 360 and now owning a ps3 i thought id talk about my experiences.

Ive had both break down on me once each. The ps3 was possibly due to my old work though working in a highly dusty environment and bringing that back with me but im not sure.

The ps3 was returned to me much faster and customer support was overall much better to deal with than the xbox360 although i dont think one example can be taken as gospel as i may just have had a good person on the other end of the line on that occasion.

Price wise i think they are fairly similar.

xbox 360 i hear is $350 now + wireless $130? + xbox live $100 = $580

ps3 is about $699 and they throw in 2 games + you get a bluray player which there is no denying your gonna be buying in the next few years anyway and there several hundred dollars alone.

As for games i think 360 has it hands down at the moment. pretty much all of the big sony exclusives have been average. im really hoping gt5 and gow3 are something special. 360 with the likes of halo 3, forza, and the gears of war series is better in my opinion. I also love how you can play music while playing your games which you cannot on ps3... why the f%# not sony?!?!

Having said all of this i still put my vote to the ps3 as its a better console, its undeniably more powerful and there for has more potential. and it looks like microsoft are going to be banking on the natal in the future and that doesnt interest me in the slightest. I feel the ps3 has more to offer with its built in wirless and bluray drive, it also has an easily upgradable hardrive and the ability to load other operating systems onto it.

If sony just bring down the price of the ps3 im sure people will start to see the same things. at the moment all people see is $700 for ps3 or $350 for xbox which is hardly the case.

I bought a XBOX 360 and I think its great. I also saw a thing on the interwebs about xbox NATAL. If it works as well as the ad says it does XBOX all the way. Have a look google NATAL
