You're in a bad mood tonight Buba - what with this and the Jezza thread! Think you need to lay off the beer a bit!!! :lol: :)

(Edit: Those that don't know what I'm on about: It's here)


Lilleput: It says in that IGN article there's still just under a year left till PS3...
 
seriously, who would want an XBOX 360 after reading this?
 
I have a question for all you fan boys, have you ever played xbox or xbox 360 and how do you know that you hate xbox/xbox360 so much? I mean damn, I'm going to prolly get xbox360 but that doesn't mean i'm open not against ps3 in any way.

Never really understood console fanboys, all the systems have their strong points, why don't you enjoy them all?
 
i dont hate it. i think its a bit silly for Microsoft to push and have a new console already out, and then its not gonna be as good as the PS3.

Well that is your opinion and I respect that, but when people plainly say "Sony 4 life!" without any backing I get kinda pissed off.

I can see why many people are favoring PS3 becuase it has "superior processing power" and blah blah, but how do you know its going to be that good when you haven't even played it?
 
The PS3 was always going to be better than the XBOX 360. Have a look at the longevity of the PS2, and it's still largely competitive with the XBOX. Sony doesn't fuck shit like this up. Microsoft has a history of doing so. The XBOX 360 was pushed out far too fast. The PS2 has spanned a long reign prior to the XBOX, it saw the entire time of the XBOX and now it's going to sell against the 360 as it nears retirement. Microsoft just smelled the $$$. Of course, Sony does too, but they're being smart and are doing the job properly.

A history of Microsoft messing things up? How so they have only been in the industry for 1 console generation. Near the end of the Xbox/PS2 console generation, all the buzz came from the Xbox. And how come a lot of people I know became dissatisfied with their PS2. Many of my friends who had a PS2 starved themselves everyday to save up enough lunch money to get their hands on an Xbox. I don't see your reasoning.

You have to remember, both companies are out to make an eventual profit, Microsoft decided that it would be best to come out much earlier than PS3 to getting a larger foothold in the market. And with just about every console available being sold out and there actually being a shortage says that the 360 did such that.

Now, I own an Xbox and I enjoy it, but one of my friends loaned me his PS2 for awhile and I enjoyed that too. Why do you all have to be "PS3 is going to OWN 360!"
 
Microsoft is excellent at fucking perfectly good things up. Need I mention Windows ME?

Yeah ME was pretty pathetic, but everybody has their bad points....
 
Micorsoft has a history of pushing shoddy technology on the market and crowding out competitors with unethical and sometimes illegal tactics. Aside from this the game selection was pretty lame for Xbox, many were copies of PS2 games and those that weren't usually sucked, the only total exception to this is HALO. The system also wasn't so reliable, and it looks like the new one isn't doing so well on that front so far. Most of the Xbox games played better on PC(funny since the Xbox is pretty much a PC). What saved Xbox from total failure was the hard drive and Xbox live.

Here's my opinion: I never buy a first generation iteration of any console, regardless of who makes it. The first version have the most bugs and problems, it just isn't worth it. I am waiting for the PS3 for many reasons, one of which is budget. I don't simply go out and buy every console that comes to market like some people. The PS3 is going to be better technology, and I can wait for that. Sony owns the rights to many very cool games that aren't/won't be available on the Xbox. Sony also has a better reputation for building a very tight system, with few bugs. My girlfriend has had her playstation running since the second generation was released with no problems, as have pretty much everyone else I know who owns a PS2. I never bought an Xbox because, well, I have one, my PC. I have delt with Sony customer service regarding the PS2 my mom bought for my brothers previous to launch(I worked for a retailer and got her a deal for 15% off the day before they went on sale), and they were very easy to deal with and it was very painless, also with my camera. I have had friends given the runaround by Microsoft customer service and I don't really want to deal with that.

So the reasons I am waiting for PS3:
Better technology
Better games
Better service
Better experience
Better console
 
Does XB360 have GranTourismo? Nope.

Does Ianspeed want a XB360? Nope.

Besides, after the disaster of Halo2, M$ gaming won't be getting any more of my money without a damn good killer app.
 
The Xbox will never have the latest MGS, GTA, GT, Tekken, Final Fantasy, SOCOM, God of War, Dragon Quest, I can go on and on about the quality series exclusive to the PS consoles. If loving good gameplay makes me a fanboy, so be it. I just can't see any Xbox or 360 titles that can contend with any of these.

The only advantages the Xbox had over the PS2 were better online experience and better hardware. Sony had them beat in terms of games, and they will still have them beat in the next-gen. Now, Sony has better hardware, they just need to improve their online experience.
 
I will wait for the PS3 for three reasons and even then I won't get it right away when it come out.
  1. Retro compatibility - I will be able to get rid of my old PS2 AND keep playing the games I already own, even those from my original PS1 !!
  2. The games themselves - I don't care for Halo or their racing game (whatever its called) , Xbox doesn't have games that appeal to me as much as PS2.
  3. I like Sony, I don't like M$. Bill Gates got into gaming because computer gaming was losing to console gaming. Bill cares more about profit than a good product. Sony has always served me right, gaming or with anything they make and sell.
Am I a console Fanboy ? I don't think so.
I really like the Nintendo systems, played them for years, but I can't own them all so these days, it's PlayStation. :)
