PS3 has free online play :) You have to pay for xbox live.

PETERPOOP · 11-22-2010, 12:50 AM

^^^^true Jbougie's comment. I am a novice (read just a small tick above beginner) when it comes to anything computer related, and what Fnk said is true. I have found however that the PS3 just works. I had an Xbox at one point. ----original xbox, I used it only for watching dvd's I really didn't like the UI or the functionality at all.

-Forgive me if I'm wrong but wouldn't making the 360 blu-ray compatible mean changing hardware not just software coding?

-I don't see too much depth to the whole virtual gaming (see Virtuaboy of the mid 90's)
the kinect I don't think was researched enough, demo'd at a walmart and it constantly stops in the middle of operations and recalibrates, change in lighting, recalibrate, person moves into view of camera recalibrates, etc. Yes I know you can say it's new tech but it isn't, it's all just motion tracking.

-I don't want to pay another $50 connection fee on top of what I pay a month for my internet already. Or however much it would be month to month.

Unless Microsoft has improved their product a lot, only choice is PS3. In a short amount of time I went through 4 xboxes (2 original / 2 360s) ...just unreliable and noisy junk. Before I gave them one last chance, hoping that the 3rd x360 would be the charm, I bought a PS3.

To be honest the disk drive went out recently on my PS3 with the card reader and PS2 backward compatibility but it was the first model to come out and my kids and I aren't the most caring towards our electronics at times. Also I've sent it in since then and had it fixed and haven't had any problems with it yet.

Also while that one was getting fixed I was having withdrawals and went out and bought one of those slimmer ones and man they are such an improvement in my opinion.

Slick · 11-22-2010, 02:30 PM

Well, I've only owned 1 xbox and 1 360, never had a problem with either. Sounds like bad luck with crapping out xbox's :P

I don't understand why everyone wants to draw a line on which console is better. Why? I love my 360, but i also love my buds PS3. Graphically they are identical. They play the same. The controls are similar.

Buy the PS3 because u feel like it. Not because the genious posters here say to.

Bluray FTW.

33OH · 11-22-2010, 04:20 PM

They're both good systems. I got a 360 because they're cheaper, easy and cheap to fix if anything goes wrong, and because my friends all have 360's (to play Xbox Live together.)

I had a fat PS3 80GB with BC and loved it. Unfortunately it started overheating and locking up. I blew it out with compressed air but still no joy. As it was out of warranty, Sony told me they'd sell me a slim model for retail price + shipping to fix it. I was upset. I still went to gamestop and bought a new slim for less than retail by trading my 30+ PS2 games with it. I still love the PS3, and love my slim WAY MORE even without the backwards compatibility, just wish Sony would have treated me a little better about my old one. The slim is so much more quiet, less heat, and less electricity. It also has not locked up and my controllers all work with it unlike my old fatty.

If you've never had problems with your 1 360, sounds like a case of very good luck...just waaaaay too many ring of death cases over the years to be just a little bit of isolated bad luck. Loved the 360 titles, hated the console.
