Xbox And Forza3 Or Ps3 And Gt5?

[boiracer]

blah blah blah here we go again, take your pick. either love your PS3 or spend your whole life writing why the Xbox is apparently better although the question was never "why is your xbox better"

different systems, different games.

im in the PS3 and GT5 category. (as per the question)

[DivHunter]

my vote gose, buy the PS3 from the shops, Jb or what ever.... buy GT5.... save some cash and check ebay and pick upa 360 for 300-400bux and buy Foz 3..... best of both worlds....

Why would you buy the PS3 new? It's the more expensive console.

I still own all 3 consoles (Wii, 360, Ps3) and by far the best is the PS3. Never had any hardware problems with it, free online play and blu ray player. Have had 2 360's break on me over 20 times in the last 4 years each time I had to repair myself because microsoft always found a way for it to not be covered under warranty. I go between the two 360's when I can be bothered repairing them for the millionth time and just swap the hard drives over, meanwhile the Ps3 just works and keeps on working. I like both the 360 and the PS3 both have their own great exclusives but at this juncture if I could only have one console it would be the Ps3, save myself $70 a year in online fees and the thing doesnt break all the f**king time.

dont throw your 360 at the wall = wont break

As some others said.. Just go with the one you sem to like.. I got all 3 also.. And i'm more of a 360 guy.. But that's because i was used to the xbox (original) controller.. And i got used to the feel.. The PS3 controller feels weird

So if you've had a PS2 before, then i would choose PS3.. This comes with the great benefit of free online play

If you've had an xbox before, then i'd go the 360.. Better layout on the menu, online costs does give you some more/better options, and focused more on what it is.. A games console..

and we've seen the repeated errors in the GT5 thread. My brother and my boss both have gen 1 360s, never had an error. My brothers has had a hard life in dusty and dog hair filled environments and infrequent updates. The only RROD I have had personal experience with was an xbox 360 that was used on a 40C day with shit piled on it, replaced by Microsoft, we told the guy it'd overheat.

Forza 3 you ca. Rewind if you didn't like the corner you took lol. That is just enough reason to not buy such a pos game, may swell just buy grid. Also div why do ps3 exclusives look as good, if not better in some cases if it's such an inferior machine?

Your time doesn't count if you use a rewind or cut a corner or draft someone etc etc and all your lap times are on the internets or live-nets or whatever.

You can't compare an exclusive, it's exclusive. You might as well compare OpenGL ES to DirectX 9.0 or rather the modified forms the PS3 and 360 use. You know what else uses OpenGL ES? Phones.

Maybe Brink will help you when it's released as apparently it has had the PC, 360 and PS3 developed seperately.

This would finally be a proper way to compare the consoles. They must have put a fair bit of $$$ into making this game if separate development is the case.

[mad082]

still isn't quite a true comparison as the company may possibly favour one console over the others so put more time/effort/money into that console, or may simply have more knowledge about how to push the limits of 1 console more than the other.

choose forza 3. over gt5, even forza 2, i mean i love GT5 to death, but that whole "real driving simulator" is the biggest load of rubbish, might aswell play NFS hot pursuit 2.

Forza is more accurate in just about all the ways. GT5 is more or less just a fun game, no real challenge (besides the endurance races)

xbox has their system more figured out than ps3 though, alot easier and better UI, plus i havent had any game or crashing issues. my old ps3 kept gettin ylod, fixed it over and over again, and finally i put it in the oven too long the last time and i cracked a little black thing on my board, so i sold it for 170 bucks on ebay

now my xbox has been goof for over 3 years, played about 14hrs a day.

But GT5 has sooo many cars, lovin the cars

GRID pwns forza...lots more fun
