Thread: 360 RRODs @ GDC

OP, I gotta hand it to you. After all the PS3 vs. 360 discussions you've had with me and others, you still point out the 360's biggest downside. Well done.

Bandit, the 360 came out a year prior to the PS3. Last year was a year of big releases for the 360 much like how this year is a year of big releases for the PS3. Mind you, there are still plenty of games available now as Mr. Irreverent pointed out. And check the variety. Not every game is the same genre, like say a first person shooter. How are your non-fps games going? Oh wait...

Since my RROD a while ago, the new 360 has been great - no problems at all. Runs *much* quieter that than old one too. Great link - good times.

If you're needing to play games on PS3 try:

1) Resistance - Fall of Man
2) Folklore
3) Ratchet & Clank
4) Warhawk
5) Unreal Tournament 3
6) The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion
7) Burnout Paradise

Multi-platform:
8) Assasin's Creed
9) NHL 08
10) DMC 4
11) Guitar Hero
12) Rock Band
13) COD4

Coming Soon:
14) Gran Turismo Prologue (PS3 Only)
15) MGS4 (PS3 only)
16) Soulcaliber IV
17) Little Big Planet (PS3 Only)
18) Grand Theft Auto IV
19) Haze
20) Rainbow Six 2 Las Vegas
21) Killzone 2 (PS3)
etc.....

Only the 1st 4 on the 1st list are exclusives. And none of them are must plays in mine eyes.

5. Coming to the 360 soon. Yet I don't care I won't play it anyway.

14 - I already played a next gen racing sim last summer. it is called Forza 2.
15 - yeah that could be cool but 360 has Splinter Cell Convictions as an exclusive. (I predict the sleeper hit of the year)
16 - fighting game - yawn, also not a PS3 exclusive
17 - 2D downloadable game. 360 has loads of those on XBox Live marketplace, and now free XNA games.
18 - Exclusive downloadable content on 360.
19 - Too Human, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, and enough FPSs to get sick of on 360.
20 - Lead SKU on 360
21 - GEARS Of WAR 2, nuff said.

Enjoy your movies.. :-)

That's funny, because I look at my 360 game collection and realize that I've enjoyed all of the following titles a great deal:

Gears of War
Mass Effect
Tiger Woods
Ace Combat 6
Guitar Hero 2
Guitar Hero 3
Rock Band
Battle For Middle Earth 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Tomb Raider Legend
Beautiful Katamari
Kameo: Elements of Power
Lego Star Wars
Virtua Tennis 3
Amped

EDIT, I forgot:

Gun & NHL 07


NONE of which are first person shooters. Have you been going to the "Orange Puck School Of Talking Out Of Your Ass About Technology" or something?

Where do you *******s get so much time to play so many games?

I got Rock Band for the PS3 a week after release and just last week finally completed a solo tour. WTF am I doing wrong?

I was happily unemployed for 4 months.

I wasn't trying to make a strong argument for the PS3 in terms of games, and obviously you and Bandit have proved that already, but I personally bought my PS3 mostly for the blu-ray player. PS3 definitely has a lot of catching up to do in the games department but 2008 looks pretty decent.

And for the record, I am not a ps3 "hater" (obviously since I own one), there just aren't that many games worth playing right now. I'm sure that will change eventually, but for now the only time I turn on my ps3 is to watch a movie.

I say there are plenty of games on the PS3 and you reply with the fact that most of them are on the 360 as well. Then you go on and list a bunch of games that you enjoy on the 360, several of which are also on the PS3. Something doesn't seem right here.

And come on, Gears of War may not technically be a first person shooter, but it's the same freakin thing.
