Xbox 360 vs PS3... The Final Showdown.

[C:Enter:£££]

Guys who made Timesplitters trying to make a shooter.

Fixed ;D

[James]

Timesplitters used to be so good for a console shooter, then you see how unbalanced it is rofl.

[Psykorgasm]

And the floating guns reloading themselves.

[Mastakilla]

I think the PS3 looks pretty.

[James]

Buy a George Foreman, much cheaper.

[Lemon Und Lime]

get a real hand held

[James]

I'd also like to add, have you heard what your CEO said today Sony faggots?

[Psykorgasm]

What did he say?

[James]

I wish we could of used all formats instead of blu ray.

alalalalal

[C:Enter:£££]

Woah, they finally admitted to a problem of theirs instead of blaming someone else or lying? Sony are maturing.

I still think they're a shoddy Asian merch company though.

I sense bias. Should've just said you feel PS3 is better instead of making it look like it's unarguably better which is simply not a fact.

[Kaiden]

I liked TimeSplitters! =D Could never complete that Atom level on hardest difficulty though..

[xProtocol Rain]

I've already compared specs on both consoles in another topic.

[Gishank]

My opinion isn't biased at all. I've played on both machines, i own both, i know the PS3s Specs, and i know the XBox 360s Specs. Yet, i've been fair and provided pros and cons for each one >_>

No you haven't, you started this topic with the mind set of proving PS3's superiority over Xbox 360.

[Gishank]

Prove that.

[James]

By saying false things about the 360, lal.

[Gishank]

False things about the 360?... Such as?

[James]

100 quid subscription, overheating actually being a problem, saying its beyond noisy to a point where its unbearable, not counting the facts that you can get a 120gb HD for it/elite.

Why isn't it mentioned that the cell processor can be a con?, for how it works, developers get into hassles with it because putting the work into different portions makes it trouble and jittery.
Why isn't any playability or emulation of previous sony titles avalible for PS3 mentioned?
Why isn't it mentioned despite being free, Playstation Online is a very basic and crappy service?
Why hasn't it been mentioned that most titles for the PS3 are coming and are out for the 360 too?, if not the better versions? You may recall that this week 360 beat sales in Japan over Air Combat 6, but you may not know that as you know fuck all about this so it makes me feel that you're not fit to even start the thread, and should leave it to someone else.

[Gishank]

100 quid subscription (I said around, not exactly), overheating actually being a problem(It is, if you use it alot), saying its beyond noisy to a point where its unbearable(I said its cooling system was noisy, to an extent were it gets annoying), not counting the facts that you can get a 120gb HD for it/elite.

Why isn't it mentioned that the cell processor can be a con?, for how it works, developers get into hassles with it because putting the work into different portions makes it trouble and jittery. (Its no diffrent to making a game for a multi-core PC.)

Why isn't any playability or emulation of previous sony titles avalible for PS3 mentioned? (As said below, i am talking about the MAIN console versions)

Why isn't it mentioned despite being free, Playstation Online is a very basic and crappy service? (Sonys Online service is easy to use, and quite good)

Why hasn't it been mentioned that most titles for the PS3 are coming and are out for the 360 too? (Not all, several are PS3 only, and either way, why do i need to state the obvious that multi-platform games exist?)
if not the better versions? (Better Versions? Games such as Mercenaries 2, etc, may be comming out on other platforms, but due to the sheer size of Sonys Blu-ray technology, aka a possible 50 gig of data, compared to XBox games only having at most 9 Gig, alot more bonus features can be included)

I was comparing the Two main versions that people buy.

[~R[é]negade~]

GTFO klop, honestly. Research this stuff before you post this.

[Gishank]

I did research actually. You lot are all immature and biased, to have a nice and simple discussion over the two console, but no. You insult me, and whine that the Xbox 360 is the best, and whine constantly about it.


I mean, Jesus Fucking Christ.

[James]

Argh don't do that to reply.

It isn't even around 100 quid, shut the hell up, and it isn't a problem unless you're stupid enough to play more than 3 hours a day. It isn't annoying shut your mouth, ever heard of PCs?

Yes but 8 processors is fucking weak, 2-4 is enough.

Its still a con, don't ignore it.

Playstation Online is a disgrace, XBL is so much easier and friendly.

LOL, I can only think of 3 games worth my money for the PS3.

Better versions = run better, whats the point in bonus material when people aren't even allowed to use most of that space?, you don't realise this thing called a contract do you, lol.


edit: no no, you're saying PS3 is the best, when its simpley not true.
The best medium for gaming is the PC (argh), followed smoothly by the 360 which thanks to XBL, is becoming a successful medium of pro gaming.

I did offer to lock the thread, but no, Dae was being stupid.

[Gishank]

*Notices more immature whining*


You are a biased immature hypocritical arsehole.

I can't be fucked with this topic anymore, you lot just can't seem to have a simple discussion without being biased.

[James]

I don't see nothing hypocritical about what I said, I kept the same opinion on it. Immature of you to label me that when you cannot observe what hypocrisy is.

Good, it isn't a simple discussion, its a discussion we had too many times before, however good ol' klop had to embarrass himself some more trying to show his opinions.

[Professor Layton]

You both are biased.
You both praise your favourite console.
Go play on your consoles instead of trying to convince eachother as it's obvious that both sides will never agree with each other.

[James]

Of course I am, its because I hate Sony idiots trying to justify their wrong purchase every week.

[Zantinzuken]

Jesus. Calm down. If Klop wants to spout on about PS3 being the best thing since sliced bread let him. You didn't have to post in here...

I don't think he gave a far judgement of the 360 but there's no (and I mean NO) 360fanboy on this forum that give a fair judgement of the PS3.

I have them both and honestly, I don't give a SHIT about anyone's opinion of either consoles from reading your respective posts in this topic.

[James]

I think you should calm down.

[Zantinzuken]

I think you should calm down.

I'm not the one calling people idiots for just liking a console and stating it...
