    Posted 21 July 2008 - 12:58 AM

    After these past holidays, I've come to realize how much my Wii just doesn't cut it as far as gameplay and graphics go. As well as the lack of good titles that aren't ports or 3rd party. My sisters boyfriend came to stay with us for a few weeks and he brought his 360. Now I hate Xbox, mostly because of all the Halo and fanboy talk about the first Xbox, but he had GTA4 with it, so I gave that a shot. I didn't like GTA4 but thats not the point. The graphics were great, fair better then anything my Wii could produce. A similar thing happened while I was down in Melbourne last week visiting some friends. My mate put on his 360 and we played COD-4 and Halo 3 online. It was awesome fun and the graphics were great. The online play was smooth and lag free.


    At this stage I want to buy a PS3 or 360 after I finish school ((October) so it won't be a distraction) Pretty much I want just a powerful system with great graphics and everything that Nintendo can't give in the Wii. Below I'll put my feelings on each system, and if you could put forward your point of view, great. Feel free to debate as well, this topic may as well serve a purpose later on.


    Ps3
    Not sure which model I would look at since I don't need backwards compatability as I'll keep my Ps2. I'm a sony fan, I loved my Ps2, best system made so far IMO. The Ps3 has better technology so it should keep longer and have better graphics. It also has it's exclusives and I'm hoping for sequels to games on the Ps2 (Ie, KH3) it also's going to recieve 2 FFXIII games.
    Blu-ray is not a selling point for me.

    360
    It has the better online system out of the two. It has some hard hitting games. It also is getting a FF title. It has some strong exclusives and backwards compatability with Xbox titles (a plus since I never owned a Xbox)
    Can link to a computer and be a media player.
    I would be able to play my mates with a 360.
    Bit of a downside is the time that the 360 has already been out, meaning it could be outdated sooner rather then later.
    Edit- Xbox released 2002, 360 in 2005
    Ps2 released in 2000, Ps3 in 2006

    Bit of a blank right now so that's all I could think of.
    The money isn't really that much of a dealbreaker, as I'm looking at either a Pro or Elite 360, or a 20-40gb Ps3. And there isn't much between them.

    Edit- I thought a put in a poll. Mod's wanna give that a shot for me.

      PS3, but I will be getting a 360 just on the sole fact that a good friend of mine will want to Play Resident Evil 5 with me online.

        I don't want to sound too fanboyish here, but if money isn't an issue, you don't specifically want any 360 exclusives, and I'm guessing you're already used to the Playstation controller, then get a PS3. A lot of the good games are cross-platform and are just flat out better running on it.

          I have a 360. Partly because I don't have $500 laying around.

            But which 360 is that? The Core or Arcade model doesn't do anything for me as it's missing alot of extras, and doesn't have a hardrive which is just stupid.

                360 by a long shot. The PS3 is constantly relying on future releases, where the 360 has lots of great games NOW. I guess this depends, are you going for gaming in the long run, or for the short term and right now? Because, if you're only going to have time to play games for a little while, the 360 is the way to go. If you want a console that is going to (or at the very least, promises to...) last for a while, then it's the PS3, though probably not by much.

                The 360 has many games and many future releases. The stereotype is the Xbox is all about shooters. That isn't true anymore. The 360, sort of ironically, has the most JRPGs to this date, and a lot of other games too. The 360 has been out the longest, so you also have a lot of good, old 360 games to choose from for cheap at a used game store, too.

                The PS3 has some decent games around but not a lot to brag about. Let's see... good PS3 you can buy right now that are exclusive. Uncharted, Heavenly Sword... well, those are the games I bought for it.

                Just get a 360.

                    graphics mean nothing :/

                    360 is better provided you can get one that works, as WD states the 360 has quality games NOW whilst the PS3 is still dependant on future titles over a year after its release. Sony has lost exclusivity to the majority of its big series and the 360 is considerably cheaper.

                            yeah...because numbers of disks dramatically affects gameplay quality....

                            i prefer more discs as it lets you know how far you are

                              No, I agree with you. The thought amuses me anyway, though.

                              Then again, there'd be no whacking install time just because you want to play a different level...

                                      I think they fixed that problem, but I'm not sure if Australia has the new models yet.

                                        I went with 360 because of the price and the fact that I haven't got a HDTV.

                                          Laharl, GTA was never exclusive to begin with.


                                          so Grand Theft Auto has always been multi format? i think not.

                                          even Vice City and the like came out much earlier for PS2 than Xbox because of a deal Sony had with Rockstar.

                                            PS3, but I will be getting a 360 just on the sole fact that a good friend of mine will want to Play Resident Evil 5 with me online.


                                            It's nice that you feel fine about spending big money for only one game.

                                            @watch: Personally, I wouldn't think twice on what I would get. The PS3 can't hold a candle to the 360 and it never will be able to.

                                                I've played both plenty and the 360 is just so much more fun.

                                                  i'd say allowing your rival to release your best selling game on their console is a pretty big loss.

                                                  forgot about Devil May Cry, another exclusive lost

                                                    Just ebay'd some 360s to look at some costs. I saw alot of RROD Xboxs. Whats to stop that happening to me if I bought a store bought one? Is RROD related to the heating problems?


                                                    The new 360's hardware produces less heat, and so RROD is much less likely to occur. Another future update to the hardware will reduce heat even more, but I think that's a year off or something.


                                                    360 has more games worth mentioning than the PS3 at the moment, and since FFXIII isn't exclusive anymore, there's not much of a reason to buy a PS3 unless you want something that can play Blu-ray discs, and has the potential to produce better graphics than the 360. Also, a lot of the (supposedly) good games for it have yet to come out.

                                                    But I think I'll agree with WD on this one. 360= right now (plus, if you have friends with 360's, online is great), PS3= probably in the future, maybe even long term.

                                                    For me though, it boils down to the games, and not the consoles themselves. So go with whichever one has more games you're interested in.

                                                          So Microsoft shouldn't be kicking themselves for losing Bioshock, Gears of War, Orange Box, Oblivion, COD4 and countless other Windows and 360 games to Sony?


                                                          The fact that Sony lost FFXIII almost negates all that. And wasn't Orangebox multiplatform to begin with? PC doesn't really count when it comes to this, because MS doesn't sell the computers. They sell the OS. Besides, computers are in a different market than consoles.

                                                            That would be fine except for the fact that half of the games on 360 are PC ports.

                                                                        As I don't have either console, my opinion is limited. I will simply say that the 360 has a far more robust library, while the PS3 is technologically superior and will last for years to come. Just my two cents.

                                                                            I got my 360 in February and I have been playing it nonstop, I mean you could have just given me the 2 games I started with and I still wouldnt be bored.

                                                                                                      I was referring to the FPS genre, pretty much every game has guns in it nowadays. :!:

                                                                                                      If you want to include Orange Box, that's still eight out of eighteen.

If the games allready out for it don't appeal to you, you also have all the PS2, and PSX games you'd ever need to hold you over. Suck on that Microsft. Two systems of backwards combatability. Only the DS has that.

                                                                                                                  Lol at trading a 360 in just for the PS3 and MGS4. Now, MGS4's a good game, one of my favorites for sure, but it's a far cry from being THAT good and I don't think it quite lived up to all the hype.

                                                                                                                  VC isn't backwards compatibility per se. You can't play your old games on it. You have to buy them new. :)

                                                                                                                      The Ps3 looks like it still has some time before it's decent, while the 360 just looks appealing now. Shame I have to wait for the end of school now.
