...

Better graphics?
Cheaper?
More powerful?

GTA 4, SH 5 are coming to 360 too. Infact GTA4 is complete for 360, Sony are ridculous with their devkits.

Locked for stupidity, and the fact we cleared out that the 360 is the better system, don't believe me?, look at COD4 for both consoles. ENJOY YOUR BAD FPS, UGLY TEXTURES AND POOR SHADOWS.

[James]

oh and LOL.

40 quid for XBL subscription, the price of the PS3 pays for the online service, 4x yearly XBL.

Besides, XBL > their piece of shit.

NOISEY FAN!?

Locked for

rant box is for rant

the fact we cleared out

klop didn't clear it out I guess; you're not obliged to rant here though

[Gishank]

MMmhmm...

>_>

Also, there was no actual reason given for GTAIV being prolonged. The XBox 360 has an noisier cooling system than the PS3, in addition to the fact the 360 is more likely to overheat from constant use unlike the PS3.



Another fact, from what i've heard, Microsofts operating system on the 360, takes 12 Gig of the HD space up.

It isn't a rant though, and in the wrong section.

Aye but, this isn't the first time anyone has complained, everyone knows its the devkit.
Alot of multi platform games would of been out even earlier but nooo, Sony has bad support.

All consoles heat up, lol, my PS2 burnt more than my Xbox.

[Dae]

It is.

A rant is a widespread and distinctive phenomenon of emotional speech or writing usually consisting of complaints or attacks, sometimes in a political nature. Rarely, rants express great praise, defending an idea or a person from attack.

[James]

emotional speech ey?, I wasn't aware current generation consoles had feelings.
Its for the other games forum, but we already have this thread

[ynnaD]

oh and LOL.

NOISEY FAN!?

[Kaiden]

I'll give him a 3 day warning in Private Chat to keep you happy.

Lying about free service.

[Siva]

Stupid thread is stupid.

No srsly. PS3 is fine, 360 is fine. Now go enjoy your games on your console of choice instead of making ignorant threads like these.

[James]

Exactly, now to roll in more comments boycotting Dae.

[Kaiden]

Wii is own.

[James]

Wii is a gold mine atm if you sell it.

[Kaiden]

Yeah cause it's fun and different, unlike the other consoles listed in this topic.

[James]

Also can sell on ebay for 300 quid if chipped and includes alot of copied games because of Christmas shortage.

[Kaiden]

Chipped? What does that offer?

[James]

Free games...

[Psykorgasm]

PS3 is shit, Xbox360 is awesome. Enjoy ya shitty looking COD4 PS3 guys, while we're there with the better looking version and a better online experience.

[Siva]

Free games...

And bricked Wii's.

[James]

Free games...

And bricked Wii's.

Maybe so.
But the ones selling will get latest build when they buy a new one.

[C:Enter:£££]

Omfg. The PS3 is absolutely shit at the moment, no matter how hard you fanboys cry at night; give it another year or so. Specs mean shit if you havn't got the games.

[Gishank]

Did i say it had a wide varity of Games at current? No.

[James]

Yeah it doesn't even have specs either.

[C:Enter:£££]

Did i say it had a wide varity of Games at current? No.

Wide? Shit, it doesn't even have a good one.



End of thread.

[Gishank]

Haze. 30th 'Nuff Said.

[James]

Haze? Free Radical shouldn't attempt that style, especially when its gonna be a generic shootan... especially when Crysis will offer much more, despite my hate for that too.

[C:Enter:£££]

One game, that I've never heard of, excuse me whilst I get my credit card...

[James]

Guys who made Timesplitters trying to make a serious shooter.
