Xbox 360 VS PS3

Well I've been reading and (I am a secret XBOX fanboi) I have to correct some things on the XBOX side of things that are important to note.

PS3 looks better in my room :P (black + blue + purple) I like it's controller more(has a longer battery life) ... I have a plylist on the thing, plug it into my bigscreen + 7.2 surround sound and viola a nice visualization and great music in the background.

point 1: Battery life, Incorrectum PS3 vs. XBOX360 Battery Life
Sub Point: I so prefer a recharge cable that can actually reach my couch!

Point 2: I can play my music in the background while I play games

The 360 might be cheaper but Microsoft screws all of its customers with the lack of customisation. I mean WTF? You can't get optical and HDMI out unless you buy their overpriced HDMI cables. Even the PS2 has optical out and that console is ancient.

I think you have your consoles mixed up

HDMI(recent) + Optical Audio (from the beginning) comes with the XBOX360 + they add in an HDMi Cable for FREE ... it's true ;)

Funny i find 90% of 360games lacking in the story department.
MGS4 was a game to end of one of the best series ever and really is one of the best games I've ever played. To each his own on that one but the storytelling of Hideo Kojima is unparalleled.

really? do you have a facts on that 90%? did you even look must've taken you sometime with xbox's MASSIVE Game's library

I hope you chose to exclude the sports and fighting titles?

how about:

Fable 2
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Gears of war
Fallout 3
GTA IV
Star Wars the Force Unleashed

not every story needs to come from Japan ;)

But on a fair playing ground I have a PS3 and I love the fact that it has the built in wireless and I'm enjoying my Blu Ray movies (only 2 at the moment) and LBP is awesome as well as Killzone 2. I just don't think the online aspect is very good (yet) and I think that's the case because of telkom but that should change soon.

also love the fact that we have a local online shopping service on the PSN.

Enjoyed the debate :)

From that site of yours: " But due to the lack of an auto-off feature like the Wii and 360, Sixaxis lasted a meager 18 hours and 41 minutes".

The remote does have an auto-off feature, they are just to stupid to go into setup. So I won't even read anything further from that. I've recharged my controller once since I got my console in January.

Who the hell listens to music while you are playing the game?!
 
Local meaning you don't have to hack your way into it. The server is still hosted internationally (because it's cheaper) but you register your credit card and such and pay for stuff in Rands ;)

You've only recharged your controller once? wow that's amazing do you actually use your console for gaming?

anyways let the debate war continue :D
 
I've finished Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and Little big planet. And according to The Naruto game i've clocked in 34 Hours of game time. I've watched blu-rays and a couple of other movies on the thing.

What debate, What war? Its only Xbox owners that "war" in/at a Debate. They have a very good reason for it tho. They have to defend, at all costs, their meager quality/defunct (RROD) and outdated hardware console against the facts of a more superior, high class, multi functional , future poof, more advance hardware console + HD media player.

AMEN! Please copyright this, then I will buy the rights and copy this to all the other forums! People need to hear this, because it really is true. I am an Xbox 360 owner and, having played the PS3, I need to get rid of it pronto.
 
Im an xbox 360 owner as well, but can agree that the ps3 is a better console on all fronts, fanboi's can have their little wars, but only time will tell. If microsoft adopts a new console early on then the ps3 will win this generation, and if sony adopts early microsoft will win, it all just depends on who supports their current gen console longer, and the whole bluray vs dual layer debate is in my opinion idiotic as well cause the 7th gen era ends in like two years, even if microsoft did adopt blu ray it would be a terrible business move cause the xbox is already almost four years old. You can draw parallels between the snes vs genesis and ps3 vs xbox 360 console wars. For anyone interested the parallels are as follows:
Sega released a console over a year earlier than nintendo.
Microsoft released a console almost over a year earlier than sony.
Sega released the sega cd add on in 1991 which was ultimately a failure.
Microsoft released the hd dvd add on in 2006 which was ultimately a failure.
The genesis though having inferior hardware, lead sales for most of the 4th gen console wars in the north american and european markets,never really making an impact in japan.
The xbox 360 though having inferior hardware, has and is still current leading in sales in north america and europe but falls far behind in japan.
Sega ultimately lost the console wars cause it stopped supporting the genesis in 1995 while nintendo pushed on with the snes until 1997.
So IMHO the winner of this gen, as i said in my last post, will be determined by how both companies handle the launches of their next gen consoles. I could go on with parallels between sega and ms, theres quite alot actually, but im too lazy at the moment

No, quad-posting is enough, it taught us all a lesson.

You have an Edit option in the bottom right-hand corner of each post you make, right?
Please use it. Don't be shy.

Thanks buddy.

Actually you are incorrect. Only leading in USA. PS3 has better sales in EU since last May already.
 
Total Sales:

Wii – 34.55 million, as of 30 September 2008
Xbox 360 – 28 million, as of 1 January 2009
PlayStation 3 – 21.3 million, as of 20 February 2009

North America according to NPD group

Wii - 17,521,000
Xbox 360 - 13,857,400
PlayStation 3 - 6,790,000

There happy? And now lets have the stats for mandrax use!? Just because something is selling well doesn't mean it's good. As far as I know Microsoft pedaled RROD consoles as sales. So their actual number can be as lowered with about 2-5million units.
 
I find it surprising that the xbox 360 is still leading sales in north america, considering that most americans could probably afford a ps3 or both consoles
