It's also my opinion.

[Eugine]

Although your opinion is wrong, yes it is.

[Caael]

Lol you fail at life eugine. Seriously, get help.

[Eugine]

I'm not the one who bought a 360. You fail at decision making.

[Caael]

So if you dont like it, that means i'm not allowed to own one? And if I dont own a sony console i'm a lower being? And this is all fact I assume.

[Ravenblade]

ROFL I could watch you two go at this all day XDD

The sheer determination of Eugine to defend Sony and attack M$ is commendable.

Caaels seething frustration and irritation by the impenetrable wall surrounding Eugines mind is awe inspiring XD

Ah ok, im over dramatising, but still its funny :(

A smart person will get anything BUT a 360. Especially if you plan to buy only ONE system.

[Caael]

I dont think Eugine understands free speech, him growing up in a communist society and all.

Mate, Sony are not ****ing gods of gaming. If you cant accept that not everybody the majority of the gaming population will agree with you, go cry on your dualshock controller.

I grew up in a communistic society? Never knew...

Ah well, next year you'll be saying "Eugine, you were right, and I was wrong". Can't wait.

See, when I argueed with Caael here and over MSN, I gave alot of valid reasons, and didn't jsut say "Sony rokz, M$ sooks my cock."

No.
I don't hate you, I hate your decision making capability o.o

And mind you, I like all the consoles except the Xbox. Games are so crappy.

[Caael]

And I gave valid reasons for buying a 360, and I respect your reasons Dipset. Eugine is just making a joke out of it.
Dont even respond eugine, it's either gonna be a reason why sony rocks or why xbox sucks, and i've heard all your pathetic excuses.

I am not making a joke! I expect you to return your 360 before the warranty finishes! I am trying to save you money >_<

I dont get why he's staking everything on protecting Sony since they really dont need the help, but come on, there's no need to gang up. It was ok with just Caael cos it was funny but...=/ 3 against 1 is just unfair!

I stand by my view that it really just depends what you're into. I can see the upsides of all of them, and if Caael enjoys playing his 360, then thats cool? Why does that have to be an issue..? o.o

This is what i've been trying to say all along.

[Drizzy Drake]

3 against 1? I love teh PS3, and dislike the 360, but I state it in a civilized manner. Check mine and Caael's MSN conversation. Civilized talk indeed. This is just annoying.

[Caael]

Yes, Skidz can at least argue in a civilised way, and I respect his opinion because of that. With eugine, it's " If you dont like sony u r sinner"

[Eugine]

The 360 sucks and Microsoft games division needs to die. They are ruining gaming! This is the worst scenario where competition brought out the worst!

Caael is just living in an illusion. When he experiences the PS3 in full force, he'll recognise how blinded and blatently wrong he was.

[Drizzy Drake]

Countless times has Caael said the 360, the system, SUCKS! He has told me that alot. He enjoy's the games it has.

[Ravenblade]

Ok, Eugine, what is the point in me trying to defend you if you're arent gonna back down XD We know Sony rox your box but still, agree to disagree? You arent even putting forward facts anymore, just random statements!

[Zeypher]

Oh my god.
I read all of this ****.

Ujeen. Go die in a fire. NAO!

[Eugine]

So does the games. Most games are on the PC, and most developers are switching to the PS3.

That's the problem with today's society, everyone wants temporary happiness rather than long term happiness. Caael buying a 360 is an example.

[Drizzy Drake]

As it is NOW, not counting future games such as Haze/FF13/MGS4/GT5, NOW:

PS3-Better system, hardware wise
XBox 360-Better game selection

Now that will most likely change with the coming year, but as it stands, the 360's library is bigger.

[Caael]

And that's Eugine added to the ignored posts list :(

[Eugine]

The 360 has a larger gaming selection yes, but it isn't diversed. The Wii is the best system out now.

[Drizzy Drake]

I have alot of money to spare, and feel like buying a 360 just to see what Eugine does.

[Eugine]

You already have a PS3 and Wii. It doesn't matter.

I have no problem with getting a 360, but who in their right mind chooses a 360 over a PS3/Wii? The mind is confused.

[Caael]

Lmao, go on Skidz. It would be awesome as well, get GTA and we can play together :(

As much as I hate to agree with Eugine, I do already have GTA 4. Not that I think the PS3 version is better, I just don't want to buy it twice.

I have somewhat wanted a 360, for Halo 3(sue me) and Bioshock. I will probably get around to buying one, but not for a while.

Actually speaking to Caael about it, made me see him as less of a fanboy. You may be a fanboy, but Eugine is up and above the limits of fanboyism.

[Caael]

Get Gears and Orange Box. Crackdown cant hurt either.

Quote

I was never a fanboy in the first place, I was just defending my own opinion.

[Drizzy Drake]

That's what I mean. Talknig to you made me realise that.

Oh ya, Gears looks awesome. Am planning on getting the Orange Box in a week or two for the PS3 though, so ya.

[Caael]

PS3 version is far inferior to the 360. Plus, on 360 there's much more people on TF2.

[Drizzy Drake]

Ahh, ok. I shall wait then.

How is it inferior though? I mean graphics wise the PS3 must be better shouldn't it? And don't even say the controles, or I will rip your head off and shit down your neck. :(

[Caael]

Achievements :B At least in the 360 version you have something to aim towards; a challenge if you want one. Meh, get whichever one you want but if you want good online for TF2, go for the 360 one.

[Drizzy Drake]

Fcuk achievements, but go more people online.

[Someone Else]

Achievements are for the unimaginative. If I want to set a personal goal of 10 headshots in a row, I'll do it, I don't need the game to tell me it's something I can do if I want to.

Gamerscore is even worse.

As for which version is better, overall the PS3 version is. Drastically shorter loading times, and less pop-in comes to mind immediately.

Don't bother bringing up graphics though, because it's just personal preference. The 360 version has more contrast and the colors are a bit more saturated. But for some, including me, feel that some places look too dark and some places look to bright. The colors are a little more relaxed and less saturated in the PS3 version, so it looks a bit more realistic. I prefer the look of the PS3 version, but some people might like the more stylized look of the 360 version.

[Eugine]

For most games, the PS3 versions are usually superior. Most of the times they scale down the PS3 version to look idential to FPS 360 so that people like _____ wouldn't get mad. Sucks :(

[Someone Else]

Hey Eugine, I wanted to ask. How much money is Sony paying you?

[Mallick]

Shut up, noob.

No. In my mind though, yes! You guys have seen the full potential of the 360, while the PS3 has reached the 360 potential, passed it, and is growing.

Anyway, let us move on... For all the people who own a 360, why did you buy one? o.o

[Laharl]

obvious troll is obvious

[Eugine]

Yah, I should stop doing that now. I think I proved my point o.o

Honestly, why the 360? (even potential buyers)

[Split Infinity]

Probably for the game selection, which at the moment far surpasses the PS3.

[Ravenblade]

I bought one in the first summer it was out, cos i wanted to play PD. Well, I joint bought it with my friend anyway. We agreed that after the summer was up, we'd sell it back to the retailer (cos i had to go back to uni and he was at uni in our home city). Anyways, we bought if for PD like I said. Sadly, PD was awful =/ We traded it back in at a £50 loss, which wasn't too bad for having it over 3 months.

mwahaha! operation 360 is back on track! if i sacrifice my NTSC PS2 and my DS i should be able to afford one, i was playing Gears earlier and it was awesome even though i sucked at it XD

[Ironsight]

I bought mine because it wasn't as god damn expensive as the PS3, plus it had/has much better games.

[Nick Presta]

http://ca.youtube.co...h?v=johaLQ_1AME

Oh and how has the PS3 reached the 360 potential? You don't even have a competent online system yet. *evil laugh*

@ Nick: http://gamer.blorge.com/2008/05/19/a-histo...or-of-xbox-360/

I'm aware of the PS3 bias, but that still doesn't change the video.
If my opinion means anything, I've sat in front of a 360/PS3 side-by-side playing GTA 4 (on the same TV with the same connections) and they look identical for almost all parts. Perhaps some AA differences here and there, but nothing too major.

Do you have wireless, or do you have a wired connection? Because if it's wireless, you're **** out of luck and will need to get an online adaptor.

Whats more is that you have to have a compatible router, or you get no signal.

i'll be putting the console downstairs so a wired connection should be fine but i have no idea if the router is compatable :/

i should have my 360 by the end of next week though ^__^

okays my fruiend of mine has a pre owned 360 and i wont read discs properly, even after have a new laser put in it, i'll most likely end up with a pre owned one too, is this a common occurence?

[Split Infinity]

I'd be willing to bet all the time, you just never find out because the RRoD pops up. XD

[Caael]

NEVER get preowned consoles. You never know what mods or problems it might have unless you check it, and even then you might not know about some of the internal stuff.

Its a trap, dont do it.

[Laharl]

i'm getting them to give me a demonstration in the shop or no sale for them. its like another £90 for a new machine, which can **** right off

[Nick Presta]

I would never get a pre-owned 360. It could be an older batch, meaning you're likely to RR or crap out. Get a new 360 (and make sure its less than 2 months old).

[Caael]

I suppose. Ask them to test out live; because a lot of modded consoles are banned from XBL.

DarkSword, on Jun 22 2008, 07:16 AM, said:

I have a wireless adapter. THe reason it is so bad is because if your console is in a different room than your wireless lan, you get weaker signals. Internet waves don't weave through doorways, they go straight out in every direction. If the waves have to go straight through 3 or 4 walls to get to your console, then that is bad news for you.

And second, xbox 360 accessories are cheap. The whole system is cheap. They break down a lot and so dooes an adapters quality. It just isn't consistent.

[Caael]

I have a terribly weak signal in my room, but thats because i'm on the second floor of my house and the router is on the ground floor.

[Toasty]

They're not called internet waves. <.< *coughWiFisignalscough*

My friend brought his 360 over. Is anyone on live? He brought Halo 3 and CoD4. I think those are the only online games he brought.

[Caael]

Make him add me, if my Halo disk works, i'm up for a match.

[Legolastom]

Whens joo new one comin Caael?

[Caael]

Today or tomorrow hopefully, but now my ****ing headset is broken so i'll need another headset *facepalm*

[My Best Wishes]

What's the best 360 model to get? The Core/Arcade doesn't appeal to me because it seems to lack everything, where the new 60GB Pro/Premium is looking good. But my friend with a 360 Elite says a 360 isn't worth having unless it's the Elite model.

I would also be having a wireless connection for a 360 if I got one, is that bad for Live?
I also found a port in my room that looks like a phoneline, would that work with a ethernet cable for a 360?
Also, differences in Live membership? Gold, Silver etc.

[Caael]

Premium is best. You'll probably never use 120gb or 60 if you get those models, unless you download my momloads onto your harddrive for some reason, so the premium 20gb should serve fine.

Gold membership means you can access all online features, Silver means you can do everything apart from play online games.

And wireless works fine, just make sure you have a good NAT or you'll be lagging all over the place. If the phoneline has an ethernet input on it, then it should work. Try it in your computer to see if it works.

[My Best Wishes]

So I just got my 360, anyone up for some matches?
Only online games I've been really playing have been Halo 3 and COD 4.

[Ironsight]

Now that I'm old enough to get an actual job, I might be getting on Live soon.

[My Best Wishes]

Live is great fun, love playing online and downloading demos and old school games. Only downside are the actual players on Live, for most part I just mute everyone.

Its not even a 20gb HD, more like 13gb because 7 gig is already taken up by useless crap you cant delete.

I agree with Skidz, 20gb is pretty crap, I'm glad the pro got bumped up to 60gb, even then I don't need that much, I just like to have a whole lot of demos and crap. If you could rip TV shows or Movies onto the hard drive then I defiantly would've gotten the Elite.

Speaking of which, my friends TV doesn't support HDMI so he gave me his cable, yet when I use it I don't get sound, just picture.

[Laharl]

the 20gb is fine really, seeing as game data takes up MEGAbytes.

saving music/movies to the hard drive is incredibly stupid

and for demos...if you like the game keep the demo until the game is released if not delete it

OH the difficulty

in other news i'll give anyone a game of Unreal oh wait...you're all halo ***s

[My Best Wishes]

Unreal Tournament 3?? If I had it I'd play you.
And don't knock Halo online. Sure the players are absolute twats but it's fun with the different maps and stuff, and sometimes it's fun to have a unrealistic game as opposed to online Cod 4 where I die every 2 seconds.

You can rip shows/movies onto your computer then move them over to your 360..

Why would I want to put stuff onto my 360 when I have a 240gb PC sitting right next to it?

And Laharl, i'm not a Halo ***, i'm a Team fortress 2 ***. Get it right.

[Caael]

So i'm just downloading NXE

[Laharl]

the avatar system totally isnt a rip off of the Wii friends crap. not at all

[Caael]

Dont shive a git about the avatars, but the rest is pretty cool.

[TheEnglishman]

If I was Nintendo, I'd want to sue over the avatars. They look pretty damn similar to me. I can't create one that looks like me. My hair is like a mini version of the afro.
At least you use Mii's in the games. I just don't see the point of these.
As for the rest, it seemed cluttered to me at first but once you get used to the new layout, it's not too bad.

Go on your profile, change settings and change theme.

Gears 1 is still in the top 10 most played online games, but its probably better to get gears 2 now.

The party system means you can join up with a group of friends and chat to them all at the same time, whether you're watching a film or playing a game together. Basically a multi-chat feature that other people can join.

Oh sorry, don't check the M$ section often.

I believe Sony themselves made a guide on how to upgrade the hard drive. But basically what you'll need is an external USB hard drive large enough to hold everything currently on your PS3, and then a 2.5" SATA 2 drive of the desired capacity.

2.5" drives are designed for laptops (hence why they're an inch skinnier than the standard 3.5" desktop variety) so they're more expensive. Though they're also less prone to data corruption due to being bumped/jarred/etc.

Plug the external drive into a USB port on your PS3, and then look through the menu for a backup/transfer option, and transfer all of the contents of the drive. It's supposed to be a pretty quick process. Once that is done, turn off the PS3, open up the HDD bay, pull out the old drive, and put the new one in. Start up the PS3 once you're finished putting it back together, and transfer the contents of the external drive back onto the PS3.

I found an article on it here if you need something more in-depth.

Also, if you want a 500GB drive, I'd suggest this one. However, this one here is faster (which will reduce game loading times by a fair amount, if it turns out that the PS3's HDD is a 5400RPM model).

[Joek2]

Thank you. You don't know how helpfull it is having our own little nerd right on hand. xD.

[Toasty]

I get that a lot. :P

[My Best Wishes]

****s sake Toasty why do you know these things.

Pretty glad I got a 60gb harddrive seeing as these game installations can be 5-6gb or more, although there isn't a large amount of time being saved as a result, but someone did tell me games are being made now that have the installation thingy in mind.

[Caael]

I've only installed one game which is TF2 because I play it the most. I really dont see much of a difference, except that it's a little quieter but that doesn't really make a difference when i'm 2 feet away from it.

[Drizzy Drake]

Quicker load times. Not a huge difference, but if you timed it, you'd see.

[Legolastom]

Every 10 seconds in Halo you get killed by grenades.

Every 7 seconds in Gear of war 2 you get killed by a chainsaw noob.

Every 2 seconds in unreal tournament 3 you die.

We don't get the NetFlix thing or all the TV shows that the U.S. gets to download. Example: I found out they have all of Invader Zim and I can't ****ing get that.

[Split Infinity]

So what does it have over the Blades?

[Nosferatu]

It's a lot more organized if you ask me. The blades are sorta the new Guide button thing so it's still kinda there.

Also, I remembered that Devil May Cry 4 came out THIS year. DMC4 is one of my Games of the Year *****es.

[Drizzy Drake]

DMC4 was really dope. You pwnded it to no end, way past any point I'd ever want to reach.

The game I enjoyed most this year was definetly Disgaea 3 though.

[Blue]

I was wondering, is there a way to control the volume of people talking over games? Cuz even without this head set I can't hear **** in Left 4 Dead.

[Ironsight]

There should be. Depends on the game, I think.

I tried looking around on L4D, I'll try looking again.

The new update is pretty pointless. Paying money to dress up my avatar? No. The rating system is alright I guess but checking top downloads would be a a better guide.
And the games on demand part is terrible. $50 for a virtual version of Oblivion or Bioshock? I can get those for 30 bucks used in stores, and $100 for Mass Effect? Fuck off Microsoft.

Just so you know, let's just call it "Microsoft HQ", puts the games on Live and then the regions choose the pricing for the games. Microsoft Canada has Mass Effect at $30. I have heard that Microsoft Australia really gave it to you guys up the ass.

But what else is new in Australia for games?

[Split Infinity]

Not much, considering nobody wants to develop here due to our shelf prices, nazi censorship machine and illegal R rating.

Ah, I never get tired of this rant.

Didn't know that, would explain why the amount is listed in $ rather then points. What're your amounts for games? All the ones I checked were $50 except ME which was $100.

If I can recall, I think the lowest right now is $24.55 and the highest is $49.99? I'd have to check, but about that.

[TheEnglishman]

The avatar marketplace isn't great, but I got a pirate suit from Monkey Island for only 400 Microsoft points so it's not too bad.
The games on demand stuff looks more interesting. I wouldn't mind getting Assassin's Creed for a cheap price, and I could get Oblivion seeing as I lost all the data on the PC version I had.

[Laharl]

so does the update actually do anything besides give me an overall perspective of my dickhat achievements?

[Legolastom]

What? Has literally nothing to do with acheivment or gamerscore this update.

Also I think Oblivion is about 5.8 GB so you better have some spare space, I also wish they gave dashboard support for classic xbox games.

[Laharl]

er yes it does....

before all the achievement pages there is a page that says 'current gamerscore/maximum possible gamerscore' and same for number of achievements obtained. Aswell as telling you how many games you've 'completed'

[TheEnglishman]

Mine said that I could have 20,000 gamerscore if I had all the achievements for all my games. It also said I've only got all the achievements for Comix Zone and Sonic 3.

[My Best Wishes]

I think my max would be around 29k where I've only just scraped in the 4000's.

[Legolastom]

I swear it said that before somewhere. At least before last years dashboards update.

[Nosferatu]

41770/ 75655
2090/ 3487

[Drizzy Drake]

whooooooooooooore

[Saturos S.]

1.5k gamerscore, yay.

[Legolastom]

Got just over half of my total possible gamerscore but have only "Completed" one game. Fuck off.

[Drizzy Drake]

That means you either only have two games or you fail at getting those last achievements on every game. Pick. Either way, you lose.

[Legolastom]

How are your achievements going then?

[Drizzy Drake]

Don't have a 360 therefore achievements can suck my dick.

[Caael]

I've stopped going out of my way to get achievements now, I just play the game, finish it, send it back.

Hey I'm having a few issues with the clock on my 360. Since I can't get Live up at uni the date and time keep resetting to midday on some date in 2005. I can change it but the next time I turn it on it's gone back. It's not a major issue but I notice it every time I load or save a game and it bugs me. I know I didn't have this problem before I got Live so is there of dealing with it?

[Caael]

It auto-updates when its on live so it may just be an internet thing. Not heard of the problem before though.

[TheEnglishman]

I can't connect to Live at uni though, I'm not able to. When I'm back home it'll get the date right because I can connect to Live, but when I come back and I'm not using Live the clock resets and it won't let me change it without resetting the date when I turn it off.

[Legolastom]

Yeah, had the same problem. Ruined the order of my Oblivion saves.

[Lightning Star]

So yeah. I finally got one, yo. Traded in my wii, wii fit, DSlite, and a bunch of old wii games. Including the wireless adapter, I only had to pay $6.00 using trade-in credit. Can you say fuck yes?

First game played: Halo 3. And I suck. TERRIBLY. But it's okay. I got to shoot at my friends and annoying people, which was awesome. If only I could do that in real life!

You get used to it pretty quick. I noticed a lot at first but it doesn't bug me. I wouldn't have traded a DS Lite in for it but since I've got a crappy original DS it seems more important.
@Caael: I think the stranger thing would be if she traded the 360 in for a DS.

[Lightning Star]

Woah woah woah, chill dudes. I have a DSi.

I got my DS and then they released the DSi right after, so I got that too. I just hadn't gotten around to selling the lite.

[TheEnglishman]

I wish I had a DSi. Gonna save for a 3DS instead.

[Caael]

Ah that makes more sense. I probably wont get the 3DS unless GS3 is exclusive on it.

[Zeypher]

Why wouldn't you? The 3D on it is amazing. That alone is worth the purchase in my book. Trust me, I've played it :)

I like to think the guy who made the complaint had three TVs, one with the commercial on pause, one with the 360 version and one with the PS3 version, and a look of shock on his face.
