I would like to buy a machine for the current and the future video games and I found the best two machines and they are play station 3 and xbox 360, right now I am confused which one should I buy and which one is the best. So I created this topic to get answers and to know more about ps3 and xbox.
Please state everything you know about these machines and include the positive and the negative points about everything in single or multiplayer mode and I wonder If I can run the latest video games on ps3 or xbox on the highest settings someone already told me that but I am just making sure and if yes then how old is the ps3 and xbox.. It would be really weird if ps3 or the xbox is old and can still run the latest video games on the highest settings in PC's people must update their hardware to be able to run the new video game every year...
Right now I have no idea how the multiplayer mode works or how to get the video games through the internet using the machine itself (ps3 or xbox) or how to pay for the video games and If I will use credit card then how to make sure it's trust-able.
Also I heard two opinions that the xbox 360 graphics are much better than the ps3 and Vice versa. Thank you for reading..

XBOX 360:
250GB, Good graphics with HD cord, vibration on controller when shoot/fall, easier multiplayer system. Have to buy XBOX live subsciption to play online - $60/year.
PS3:
250GB, good graphics with HD cord, free online multiplayer.

I think the vibration will confuse me while playing the game so please leave your opinion about the XBOX 360 and PS3 controller.
Can you tell me what's the difference between xbox 360 multiplayer system and PS3? If you don't know then don't worry someone else will answer.

Xbox 360:
Breaks down often, overheats(Depends on what version you get) I myself have had 3 RROD's + You have to pay to be able to play online and I'd say PS3 graphics are better.
PS3:
Free online playing, doesn't break down often, although I have seen that their online system has been hacked which maybe isnt that good.
I would say that you should go for the PS3 even if it is more expensive, I personally think it will last much longer :p

Thanks mate but you already told me that on msn :razz:
-
I had them both, preferred PS3. Because I found that more useful than 360. My 360 also overheated twice.

How would you even get confused about a function you can turn off, plus what's so wrong with a vribrating remote, holly f**k, this kids are... I won't even finish.

I had an Xbox for 3 years never had a problem, own the new one, no problems; you guys should stop with the fail forums.

PS3 or XBOX 360 [ELITE ONLY]

(Depends on what version you get)
Read first :roll:

Wait a couple of years for a new console.

PS3. Free online, free Blueray player, and same graphics. PS3 Slim rarely breaks down and is a reliable console.

i take it you use PS3?
Hi, i'm Sony and we let our servers get hacked and have shit security so thousands of people have personal details stolen.

I use(d) Xbox 360, until I got tired of fixing it. And about the security, instead of buying games over their system you might want to buy the games in stores instead to avoid getting your credit card information stolen. :roll:

Hi, I'm microsoft, and i don't give a fuck about piracy and the people who actually pay for games and online multiplayer, being fucked over by people downloading their games.
About Sony's hacking, their giving 2 free games and a month of PSN Plus, Now that's being good enough to admit it's mistakes
-
Xbox original :D
Never overheats
-
PS3
- Free multiplayer
- Classic
- 250gb
- More people have it, more online fun :p

Would be awesome if they're give the games and PSN plus to the new users : D
By the way what is PSN plus?
-
Basic extra service..Online storage for saved games, some extra avatars, themes for your Ps3 background, Discount on Games, early betas and demos..and so on.

I have been using XBOX 360 SLIM BLACK 250GB since it came out. Never had a single problem.
Maybe you all speaking of old versions?
-
About Sony's hacking, their giving 2 free games and a month of PSN Plus,
Oh wow 1 month of extras YEEY :lol:
-
Since you gave me two options and I myself am a Xbox gamer. I'd recommend you the Xbox 360. There are a lot of reasons behind why but it just is. I would also advise you to try them out at a relatives residence or maybe at a game stop. As mentioned before, I'd personally wait for the new consoles. No need to wait for that long they will most likely come out 2012-2014. If you decide to purchase an Xbox 360. Avoid buying the white 360's (presumably called Premium or Pro) since they are quite prone to RROD. Look for Xbox 360 elite/Xbox 360 slim.
-
Oh wow 1 month of extras YEEY :lol:
Notice that the PSN was down for less than a month.
My PS3 is the first edition ever released, the 40gb one, and it never gave me a single error throughout 3 years now.

Hello!
Microsoft has been hacked on their Xbox 360's servers aswell... Too bad they did not improved their servers and had a data-leak recently in April. However, they've chosen to not shut down their servers for safety and keep it running instead to prevent paparrazi accusing them for fake points like seen with Sony...

The intention of this topic was to help the user decide which console he'll purchase. Not an indirectly provoke topic.
Please keep it less exaggerating.

Neither is good TBH
My Computer was fairly cheap, runs GTA IV max settings at 45FPS, whereas the XBOX 360 and PS3 have slightly cut down Graphics wise on their Version.

I bet your computer won't even run Modern Warfare 3 which comes out in November, whereas Xbox will see no trouble at all, with a perfect graphics.
Graphics cut off?! Buy an HD Cable, 100 times looks better than on the computer screen.

I am going to use the PS3 to VGA cable for computer monitor 420p and 720p. What do you think about it?

I bet you his will, and my opinion counts seeing as I'm the one who watched him plan everything before building it :lol:
Yes, the games on Xbox and PS3 are optimised to run on them, because it would look very bad if it could not run it.
Buy a HD cable for a computer, looks exactly the same when plugged into a TV screen :trust:
Roman, you really should research before posting. The Xbox 360 is not even half as good, graphics card wise, as my brothers computer...I've been watching him type his reply to this for a while, and it will slaughter what you just said. Everything about the Xbox 360 can be beaten by a middle-of-the-range computer. :lol:

"Sony being hacked again?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgCmWm3X5zg#ws)
Should I trust Sony and buy PS3 or just buy xbox360?

Should I trust Sony and buy PS3 or just buy xbox360?
The Question IS:
Should you let Microsoft keep stealing your money paying for online, or get it for free with Sony.
The only reason I use windows is that the Windows Emulators on Linux are so crap and awkward to use they are as bad as Windows.
-
IMO, Microsoft couldn't care less with their customers, and no by customers I do not mean people with flashed consoles, i mean real users, who pay for their LIVE and buy their games, they get shit, all they get, is other people getting games for free, while their hard worked money goes out..While in PS3, there's no such thing, everyone who plays a PS3 has to have a real game ( At least online, if cracked, you'd need to download a 20gb game, won't be able to update, buy things at store, talk to you friends and play online).
The Sony ending shit, is just fanboy retardeness spread, sony gave us 2 free games and a Plus month, and they are sure as hell back and ready.

Sorry but stealing? Man they charge the price for a year as it costs for a normal videogame. Games for PS3 is sometimes more expensive then 360's games (belive it or not)
When the PS network was hacked, hackers had access to all creditcards that had been used the network.. How can you trust them?
I felt online gameplay on Playstation Network was a little more laggy then Microsoft Network.
The 360 controllers after my opinion is comfortable to hold and to use, get the relaxed and easy feeling once using them (this is all after my opinions.)
The PS3 controlle was uncomftable to use, i felt like i broke my thumbs after 3hours of gaming straigth.. allso they are quite small ( maybe i got big hands? o.O)
As for the graffics, i dont notice a big diffrence on this (atleast i noticed no changes to Red Dead Redemtion once i played it on both)
These are my opinions.
-
Well, I'm PS3 all the way.
I just find it the more 'natural' console, packed with features - both technologically, and additional content, such as the PlayStation Home. ;)
-

I prefer paying for my games ONCE

Get Unofficial ones which are bigger and cheaper then
-
Before I create this topic I thought about using my credit card to buy video games on play station network and when the hackers hacked their database, I am confused about getting ps3 or xbox 360.. I think ps3 is mostly better than Xbox 360 and that's what I heard for now. So I guess people right now are buying PS3 video games from unofficial stores.

They made a high valued insurance on possible credait card steals and such, and every PSN member is welcome to partake if they feel they are being stolen. imo, the controllers are pretty much the same, but I did feel abit tired due to the weight of the Xbox controller. Games are about the same price, And guess what, PS3 uses blu-Ray, a new technology Type of media which is way more Expensive than the DVD Xbox use, and yet the prices are the same, even if PS3 had a higher price, it would still be accounted for and totally fair. Graphics are pretty much the same. Microsfot was also hacked multiple times.

They we're hacked, but not to the point of shutting it down temporally. Also, on PS3, When you play a COD game, they do Challenge hacked lobbys like it aint nothing. They use Flash drive.
Lmao.. Pathetic.

Maybe, then lift some more wiegths :lol: (just kidding) The controlers is not the same, some buttons are but man its not the same..
I tried to play Call of Duty Black Ops on Xbox and Playstation, graphics was nothing to be "WOW OMFG DID YOU SEE THAT?!" same shit if you ask me, the TV wasent the best but meeh it was allrigth. If you ask me, the way you posistion your left thumb on the stick of the Xbox controller is much more relaxed as it is in same postisions the thumb is when it rests AKA not using it. On PS3 controler you need to use muscles to keep the trumb down at the stick wich feels uncomftable after a while.
About the price, you dont pay for your games twice, you can think if it as buying 1 extra game each year, not expensive at all if you play online often.

Sony was just man enough to fix their security system, by completely shutting it down for it, they took up their mistake, fixed, and payed back the customers, Also, Flash Drives don't work online mate..So yeah, Pathetic.

PAH
Microsoft wasn't even hacked and their XBOX 360s started failing on them, ring of death etc.
Go suck on that.
An Also, you can actually move a PS3 without putting scratches in your disc, my mate slammed his bedroom door and the XBOX 360 scratched his game disc...
-
What if I buy PS3 then after 6 months they release PS4 and the new xbox, Do you think they the new games for PS4 will work for PS3?

I doubt newer generations of games would work on the older version of the console it was designed for.
And truly, I don't think we will be seeing the PS4 for a fair bit of time. ;)

Actually, last night While moving stuff around my Room my PS3 fell, wasn't quite a fall but still did get quite a hit, My Black Ops still works :P

I'd do this.
Or get the Nintendo 3DS.

XBOX 360 has without a doubt the better online experience. Sure, you're coughing up a fair amount of money on a yearly basis, but it's worth it. I mostly play online, so that's what made me go for it.

Firstly, you're an idiot. Secondly, the PS3 isn't immune to breaking down. My cousin's PS3 overheated and completely died on him, and he now has to fork out the money to replace it. So yeah, how about you suck on that instead.

This is a debating topic, so obviously theres going to be a mismatch of opinions, don't make this personal by going round calling people idiots...

Tell me in what way the Xbox provides a better experience than Playstation 3 online. As far as I recall, Xbox doesn't offer any improved connectivity or extras to his customers.
-
Neither of the systems are immune to breakdowns or external threats, when it comes to it, I guess.
After trialling both the Xbox and PS3, I just personally found the latter more comfortable to use.

Your 'PAH' and 'Go suck on that' are clear indications of attempted provocation. Yes, it's a figure of speech; you're basically shitting on the 360, for one of its faults - one that the PS3 can suffer from as well. That is why I called you an idiot.
Yes, I fully understand this is a debating topic. I also respectfully ask that you don't go around, shit on other consoles and act like a complete and utter douchebag. Oh, and I'd tell your mate to calm down and not slam doors in future - he must of been really pissed, or he lives in a cardboard box, for him to have been able to cause the XBOX to shake, thus scratching his disk. Thanks.

I just find we have better, and personally more enjoyable online games such as Halo 3 and GoW2 - which just so happen to be two of my favourite games.
Oh, and the fact network wasn't hacked - continously, for that matter, as I believe the PlayStation Network was hacked yet again a couple of days ago - is a pretty major bonus.

Please stop arguing and insulting each other, this topic wasn't created for fights and arguments. I created this topic to decide which console I will buy and I think I will buy PS3 for now. You guys make me feel that most of you are working for Sony and Microsoft, and yes I am joking but it's just an example to show you that you lost control of yourselves. So I suggest you to think before you type a word because you can make a fight or peace by a word.

You must understand that ANYTHING containing 'XBOX 360' and 'PS3' within, will eventually result in an argument. It's like a commonly accepted fact now.

Not really, even enemies in these days can talk together and find a final solution to solve the issue between them.
Your opinion is acceptably here in this topic not your argument, so please do not insult other players and respect their opinions. If someone broke his console or scratched his disc inside the console that does not mean he is an idiot because it is not his fault and did not do it on purpose. I wonder why you are fighting for the xbox 360 since you are not even going to gain anything for doing that, you bought that console then good for you. Then please do not fight for it or say that the other consoles are bad. Some people own all the three consoles PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii and they like all of them for different reasons. Now please drop it and thank you for your opinion.

Wolfe, Did you buy the video games using your credit card or you went to the store to buy them?
-
The console itself was bought from a store in the US when my dad went there, Videogames I buy em from a site here in Brazil. Kinda like Ebay.

Ahh that's good idea. I would buy the games from any international site but the problem is that I'll pay the double for customs.
[Original date - 11 June]
I have one more question. What are the play station 3 versions and what is the difference between each one? and which one is the best?

Don't hesistate to join up with the White Shadows Clan PS3 division if you've gotten familiar with your new playstation ;)
