Best Platform to Play On

Post » Wed Dec 30, 2009 4:26 am

PS3 is better than Xbox360, since Xbox is made of concentrated, distilled FAIL.

Mostly joking there, but the only reason Xbox has more players is the lower price. PS3 is better in hardware.

Unfortunately, PS3 gets ignored and passed over since everyone's off on the 360. And they soon spend twice as much for Live subscription fees.

The simple fact that Xbox 360 sells better than PS3s is proof that we live in a universe without God.



Oh, and PCs? They rock. I'd pick that, except I need some good games for my PS3 as well. Plus, I mostly play browser games on my laptop. Look at my avatar!

Actually, I think the xbox is very overpriced. It should cost, at the most, $250. At the very least, you can use the PS3 as a blu-ray player. How many people actually buy an xbox to play DVD's on?

Hands down, PC is the best.

1) You get full control. The higher your sensitivity (or lower in some cases) and/or the bigger the mouse pad, the more sport you get out of gaming. Button mashers or thumb controls are limited in how you can look around. Also, the keyboard is also a depth of control as you can custom assign how you play to the comfort of how you want it.

2) Graphics I think are typically better on pc. Resolution and quality are both changable as well as you can usually even tweak settings in config files.

3) No crutches, ie, no auto aim (unless you are an aimbotter). PC has 0 assist in aiming so you play how you are. Bad or good.

And because of that you get gamers who exercise all the above and that's why a lot of PC gamers cry about hacks. PC is a playing field for gamers that want to excel and not remain a bottom feeder in the tank of the gaming world. Sure, the consoles are more popular, but till they offer customablitily and true 'sport' extendability, you won't find me there.

Although, you are constantly updating a pc to keep up with the new graphics, etc, etc. It's all about if you got the money, and the internet. I got 10gb and it's freaking [censored]. We pay 120$ a month for it! My pc is ordinary, so I don't have the money to constantly upgrade it.
As I said, it all depends if you got the cash. Also, I like playing with controllers :D:D:D:

You need to update your PC about as frequently as new consoles get released, so there is really no difference, except the PC hardware is superior.

PC's support controllers.

Agreed and its funny how everyone says the Xbox360 is a lower price when in all actuality if you take everything into account you are paying way more for a 360 than a PS3. First off it doesnt have built in wireless so you have to buy a wireless adapter to play online there 90-100$. Also the controllers use batteries if you want the rechargeable ones you have to buy those separate (or keep buying batteries which is even more expensive) theres another 45-65$. Then you got the LIVE subscription your paying annually as well. Someone add up all those extra hidden fees they nickle and dime you and tell me how the 360 is cheaper. Not to mention the worries of RLOD happening which happens to over 75% of 360 owners and if your past your first year your SOL.


Then like Horse said there is the Blu-Ray player on a PS3 which that itself cost as couple hundred dollars and the PS3 has better graphics hands down the only games what look better on xbox are multiplatform games and thats because they are formatted for the 360 and transferred to the PS3 saving money and time. Otherwise every PS3 game would hands down beat a 360's graphics.


Anyways PC is diffinately the way to go they have dedicated servers and frequent patches and updates to keep there games balanced. If you can afford to build a gaming PC thats the route to go I cant lol so I will be playing on a PS3.

The new 360's have built in wi-fi

Also the controllers use batteries if you want the rechargeable ones you have to buy those separate (or keep buying batteries which is even more expensive) theres another 45-65$.

You can also use wired controllers...I prefer wirder peripherals, for the simple fact that I never need to recharge them or worry about them dying on me.

Then you got the LIVE subscription your paying annually as well.

You may have to pay for it, but it's also a better (and more populated) service.

Not to mention the worries of RLOD happening which happens to over 75% of 360 owners and if your past your first year your SOL.

Microsoft said the they fixed the RROD in the new 360's. Also, there is a 3 yr. warranty to cover it, so if you're past your first year, you are not SOL. I have had my 360 since 2007, and still have not gotten a RROD.

the PS3 has better graphics hands down the only games what look better on xbox are multiplatform games and thats because they are formatted for the 360 and transferred to the PS3 saving money and time. Otherwise every PS3 game would hands down beat a 360's graphics.

The PS3's hardware might be better than a 360, but the games for it svck. Xbox, hands down, has a MUCH better library of games. There are some gems on PS3, and I emphasize "some."

The Newones being the keyword

Some people dont have the luxury of being that close to there system which means either they continue buying batteries or shell out the extra money Microsoft nickle and dimes you out of.

They say they have fixed it time will tell bte took them long enough ripping countless 360 users out there money before implimenting the 3yr warranty ect. Also the new 360's feature to keep from getting the RROD is to power down if it gets to hot so you may be in the middle of a game then your sytem just turns off thats pretty awsome :glare:

Thats a matter of opinion and I thought you stayed on just facts Horse? The PS3 has more AAA exlcusives and to me personally the games are way better than 360s the Xbox has some gems on it, and I emphasize "some"

Who cares if it's the New ones - the point is, your information was wrong, or at least not completely true.

lol, the xbox cord is 10' long. If you sit more than 10' away from the screen, then that is your own problem.

Also the new 360's feature to keep from getting the RROD is to power down if it gets to hot so you may be in the middle of a game then your sytem just turns off thats pretty awsome :glare:

PC's do the same thing if they get too hot - a lot of electronics do....

Thats a matter of opinion and I thought you stayed on just facts Horse?

Mo, I don't just deal with facts, I deal with facts and personal observations, or as I like to call them, "researched opinions." What I have observed through people I know who have PS3, and people over the internet, is that the 2 biggest gripes I see with P23 owners, is not enough people to play online with and not enough good games. I wasn't saying they had better games through a baseless, personal opinion - I was basing it off what a majority of actual PS3 owners I encounter have said.

I will say it can be a pain finding people to play with online sometimes but the part about not enough games in completely innacurate to say the least. The way you phrased yourself sounded like a personal opinion to me and you cant say

actually it wasn't. I could care less, since I am a PC gamer at heart. Consoles to me are like a novelty or something to pass the time, whereas PC's are a passion. I'm not gonna pick favorites between 2 platforms that I really don't care for. Just because I didn't word something the way you have, or you took something I said a certain way, doesn't mean that's indeed how it was.

Again an opinion and I havent taking anything a certain way your the one who takes things our of context just like our other discussions on something twisting things and interpretting them as you see fit.

The PS3 is capable of better graphics and has a blu-ray player, which is the biggest reason to buy a PS3.


if you put a screenshot side by side you wont even tell the difference... its really not that much better, graphics, wise..
usually it depends on what you grow up with and which of your friends has which system.. Thats how most people decide

That's because games that are released for both systems, rarely take advantage of the hardware available to them, so instead of having a version that takes full advantage of the xbox AND PS3's capabilities, it's just 2 xboc versions. Compare 2 exclusives, like Halo and Heavy Rain.

From middle school up until I after I graduated I played ONLY PC - they system NONE of my friends play on. Although I do have an Xbox now because of friends, if a game comes out for PC and xbox, I usually get the PC version.

Chadwarden mode on:

I be gettin that game on da triple aight. Everybody knows is izzat, the ps triple makes da best games aight. You got the fans of the xbox 360. The xbox circle. We ain't doin geometry, we're here to play some GAMES.

Chadwarden mode off.

But I am safe to say, that before, the PS3 is obviously cheaper than the 360, but today, both consoles cost the same in terms of number of features in relation to the price itself. And this is the pricing given directly by sony and microsoft.

Apparently, the xbox 360 is an american national product, and FPS games are played on it. In Japan, they just call FPS games, other western games, and xbox 360 games "youge", while they call PS3, wii, and local games "games".

Just like how we can't force japanese gamers to like FPS games, it is the same as not being able to force xbox 360 fans to like the PS3, when we all know that da PS triple is BALLIN.

I will be playing Brink on the PS3. No on the xbox because I'm not paying for Gold. Don't have a PC that will run it, and not to mention I love my PS3. Also, playing FPS on PS3 has been a greater experience for me, because it seems that most PS3 owners are more mature about their gaming experience. In short, no 9 year old screaming about my sixuality over the headshot I laid into him.

Not a shot at the 360 community, it is a matter of experience on my part.

PC for sure. I've tried to play shooters on the PS3 but just can't get my head around the controls, the only shooter style game I can manage is Red Dead Redemption. Too used to the Mouse/Keyboard set-up I guess.

I dunno, maybe if microsoft didn't bundle the headset with the 360, we wouldn't hear any 9-year olds screaming. Then again, if they didn't do that, I wouldn't have a free headset of my own for me to...not...use.

Apparently, I have 2 headsets. One that came with my 360 that got smashed, and one that came with my newer 360. So I base my judgement on why you hear more 9 year olds screaming more on the 360 than the PS3 is that, the 360 comes with a headset, and the PS3 does not.

I believe that this is going to be the first multi-console game I buy for the PS3. I dunno why, exactly, but I have a feeling there might be better connection out of pure guess. Also, I think I might be more in-tune with the RPG elements with the Sony controller rather than the 360. I think the SMART mechanic, though, is probably going to be more fluent via button on the 360 (The bumpers are insanely convenient).
Probably PS3, but hopefully they have a demo so I can figure out which I like more (As with Kane and Lynch 2. Def. 360 solely from demos).

The Xbox. The 360 has much better connection, gameplay and online. You may have to pay for it, but it's worth the price. Next, how many people buy PS3 because of Blueray. They buy it to play games, and Xbox has a much better library. PS3 has got no exclusives in comparison to Xbox. No good ones. When i asked several of my friends, all they could name was Little Big Planet, Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2. They said straight up that other key exclusives, like Heavy Rain and Resistance are bad games. And even if they were good, Xbox still has so many more. Look, Halo, Gears of War, The Orange Box, Mass Effect, Fable, Splinter Cell, Forza Motorsport, Street Fighter, Alan Wake, Crackdown, Left 4 Dead, just to name a few. And these are Franchises, not single games.
