Also the online experience is must better on the 360. Yes the PS3's online is free but with so fewer users it's hard to find a good game in many games.Quote:

a video game system is as good as the games that you can play on it. The PS3 may have greater specs and processing power but what good are they if the software manufacturers make a game for the 360 and simply port it over to the PS3? Funny thing is that several games that have been released on both platforms have performed with better frame rates and graphics on the 360 and not the PS3. NHL08 for example runs at 60fps on the 360 and only 30 fps on the PS3. Until Sony comes out with some really major games that are PS3 exclusive the 360 will continue to be a superior system for less money.Quote:

The PS3 is definitely a fine piece of machinery. However, not at this time. A person is better off buying a 360 right now and waiting for the PS3 to hit the $300 mark. When it gets there, probably this tiem next year, I'll pick one up. Hopefully by then they will have some decent games to play because right now all it's good for is it's BluRay player and unless you are sporting a 1080p HDTV even having BluRay is pointless.Quote:

Ok, I'll agree with that. Because the way OrangePuck stated it, it seemed like it was just a general console war.
But I'll say that I've played the 360 version in HD vs. my PS3 version in SD and the framerate looks identical whereas in Madden and NCAA i see a huge difference.
Maybe because the 360 has been out for a year? maybe because developers are used to developing games on the 360 SDK in contrast to it being their first time working with the PS3 SDK?Quote:

Also, I've been hearing about 360 users complaining about their copies of NHL 08 freezing all the time. My game has not frozen once.
I want it primarily for the BluRay aspect and it's ability to upconvert standard DVDs.Quote:

Plus Heavenly Sword and God of War 3 look awesome!
I need the ability to play all next-gen games. ALL OF THEM!!!!
Lies and propaganda.Quote:

When PS3 finally joined the next gen party another year is wasted while programmers learn that system. Meanwhile the 360 is out 2 years and it's full steam ahead. Another advantage that the 360 will have is that Microsoft can lower the price of the console making it even more attractive. More people will opt for the 360 because it's supported by so many games.
In the past there have been several scenarios where a system with weak specs has kicked the crap out of a system with superior hardware. You don't have to look far back either to see an example. The PS2 owned the original Xbox by a landslide. What you see happening now is Microsoft using is $$$ to put Sony behind the console wars 8 ball.
It's a war that Microsoft should win. I'm not going to look it up but I would imagine that Xbox is Microsoft's only losing division. Sony on the other hand has several divisions hemorraging cash so they simply can't compete with Bill Gates and his insistance that Xbox be given all the money it needs to rule any and all console wars.
Also, it was mentioned earlier that Xbox live is better than PS3 online. That is without question. XBL was launched in 2002 and is currently in their 5th year. This is an area where Microsoft should ALWAYS dominate Sony in because, well lets face it, online is what Microsoft does. A software company will always own a company like Sony because it's their expertise. Sony beating Microsoft in this area woudl be like a high school basketball team beating an NHL hockey team. Just ain't gonna happen. Microsoft will always be one step ahead.
I want it so that I can play some of their role playing games and also for the BluRay player. Especially since I believe BluRay will win the war vs HD-DVD.Quote:
