one of my roomates plays ps3 all the time online, he plays cod4... from what ive seen and played, its almost exactly the same thing, you choose which mode you want to play, say Hardcore Search and Destroy, it will match you up with a bunch of people and throw you in a game. It's free and you can use your bluetooth for your mic
other uses... bluray, hard drive... one of my friends streams crap from his computer to his hdtv through ps3 all the time, but that can be done on 360 too.
i like it, but i personally hate the controller for playstation when playing shooters. i like it for sports, driving, fighting, etc. honestly if youre not looking to play too much shooters, i would say playstations right up your alley orph
lol it's the exact same controller only with weird trigger buttons. personally I think the 360's controller is way better. sony needs to rethink their controller lolol what is it now 10 years old? it sucks
online I don't really notice a difference. there were times when I couldn't connect to xbox live for days, hasn't happened with ps3 yet. it's basically the same, you can download games/demos/themes etc. but at a cost (instead of using some gay point system, it's based on money LOLOLOL what a concept!).
I like blu-ray/high def shit, but I am pretty sure I notice a difference in which the 360 actually looked better (ps3 seems to have rougher edges, but it could have something to do with me doubling my screen size, but my friends fallout looks much nicer on his 360)
I used to own a 360, then sold it and bought a ps3
online is the same as XBL pretty much. the store is better than XBLA (the layout/design, not content). i got my PS3 for BlazBlu, KoFXII, MGS4 and SF4. i use it for bluray but i only really rent movies because it's not worth it $25 for a movie imo. DualShock3 is a MUST btw, sixaxis is terrible. recently i've only been using my PS3 for Siren, MK vs. DC and GH:WT. also there's plenty of really good games on PSN, i.e. Super Stardust HD, PixelJunk series, Siren, GT5: prologue, Biohazard 2, Tekken 5:DR, The Last Guy and Super Street Fighter 2 TURBOOOOOO HD REMIX next week. i would suggest PStrip if you're a fan of fighting games because BLAZBLU is going to be rapefest.
QUOTE:I used to own a 360, then sold it and bought a ps3
same sorta. bought my ps3 then sold my 360 a few weeks after because of inactivity.
I wish they still were backwards compatible. I'd buy one right now, but it seems that all the backward compatible PS3's are no longer in production because it's cheaper to not include the chip (or whatever) is needed to make them backwards compatible.
im sorry even if ps3 was a better system ( not saying it's better or worst ), i dont believe its worth more than twice as much money for practically very similar gaming experiences. both have its cons and pros, but a big 1 going for xbox is the amazing price.
Part of the reason games look the same for the PS3 and the 360 is because they are developed on the 360 and ported over a lot of the times. It is easier to develop for the 360 thus cheaper. Its a solid business decision to do this. If more games were developed on the ps3 I think there would be a difference.
I love my ps3. I want a 360 eventually, but I am completely satisfied with my ps3 and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I have the full backwards compatibility (60 gig) so I am still finishing up my backlog of old RPGS as well.
I will agree the price on the 360 makes it extreamly competitive. They are going to sell like hotcakes this Christmas due to it being the cheaper of the two.
You don't have to buy the PS3 immediately. Back when I only had the N64, I bought some PS1 games and played them when I went to my friends house and I eventually bought one when it was super cheap.
But I guess that's a problem if all your friends have 360s
I heard something about a 160 gig bundle for 499 and it comes with Uncharted which is supposed to be a great game. I havent played it so I cant weigh in on that.
I dont know if 100 bucks is worth double the space and a game, seeing as you can buy a 320 gig hd for your ps3 for that price. Upgrading the HD is easy, it took me 10 minutes to do mine (that includes finding a screwdriver)
That is the only game bundle out right that I know of (and I am not sure if that is even out yet).
#17 the only thing you just proved was #10's point that PS3 is indeed more expensive than xbox 360. and as the original poster said, money is not an issue... besides that, xbox 360 premium is now $199 at best buy according to their commercials so i don't know where you get 300 from
If u got the money. Buy 1. great system, i fine the pad better for everything but FPS. And some games support mouse + keyboard. online is fine not as good as xbox live, But it does. And the 1st party games sony are making look great ( killzone 2 wow, and infamous) and lbp is great fun so is r2 and motorstrom 2 is just awesome. And theres some nice downloadable games on psn as well.
FOR $100 MORE THAN THE XBOX 360 YOU GET THE FOLLOWING: 20GB EXTRA HD SPACE BLU-RAY PLAYER WIRELESS AND FREE ONLINE PLAY
SEEMS WORTH IT TO ME
I realize it's more expensive and he doesn't care about price etc. but I'm just saying you get more for your money with a ps3 than you would a 360. you guys are retards.
#23 my comment was directed to #10 as stated in the beginning of my post.
I will now quote #10.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?!?! first off I showed the price of the PS3 80GB and the XBOX 260 60gb
it's a close one already: PS3 has a 33% bigger hard drive 360 $100 cheaper
NOW, are you still following?
I compare perks of each system: PS3 - Blu-ray, wireless adapter, free online xbox 360 - NONE - and if you want wireless on your 360, there's the $100 price gap covered
PS3 - 3 360 - 1
PS3 80GB > xbox 60GB
yeah you can get a 360 for $200 but with nothing making netflix even more useless. and your xbox still sounds like a jet engine
dont think ill get MK vs DC, but I think SF2THDR comes out thursday which im pretty stoked for. gonna download that when i get back to my apartment on friday.
Lol chowdah, I understand you completely. These kids are just ill-informed about what they're buying. They believe the pretty adds that say "OMG 360 199!!!"...little to their feeble minds realize that all the extra add ons they prefer to have actually make the 360 cost more than the PS3

#40 is correct. 360 is $300 and if you need wireless or an HD movie format it comes out to the same price as a PS3. both are great though depending on what type of console games you like.
f that. i don't really know many of the moves. i may still be around, i think im gonna head out and grab some drinks in a few, my breaks just starting, waiting for some friends to get out of dinner across the street. but if im around im definitely down. this is awesome.
Interested in Buying.
Really could careless for gow2 and those games now, Still play PC shooters because I prefer mouse and Keyboard.
that said,
how is the online stuff, similar to xbox live?
also games like little big planet (Unique ideas) I enjoy alot. Also looking into Gran Turismo 5.
Anyhow basically, Id like to hear some likes and dislikes. And other uses people have found for the ps3.
other uses... bluray, hard drive... one of my friends streams crap from his computer to his hdtv through ps3 all the time, but that can be done on 360 too.
i like it, but i personally hate the controller for playstation when playing shooters. i like it for sports, driving, fighting, etc. honestly if youre not looking to play too much shooters, i would say playstations right up your alley orph

I hated the old ps3 controller, the new one seems alot better.

Cause I'm hoping for an invitation so I can buy a PS3. Did I mention that it comes with LBP :o
I am def buying LBP, gran turismo, and street fighter 4 (when they come out anyhow)
Does anyone know of any good bundle deals? otherwise id probably buy the 80gb for 399.

don't give me the price argument cause I have had the money set aside for something for a while now.
and I already own a 360.
mk vs. dc?
really?
i mean... really?
such a joke of a fighter.
But I guess that's a problem if all your friends have 360s

its 299$ for a 360, or $399 for a ps3, mind you a blu ray player runs you 250$ if you still want one of those after anyways..
xbox 360 60GB - $300
PS3 80GB - $400
xbox 360 - other than netflix, no HD video capability
PS3 - Blu-Ray
xbox 360 wireless - $100
PS3 wireless - built in
xbox live - $6/month
PSN - free
And it's $199 for the Arcade version which doesn't include a harddrive. $299 for the premium with 2 games.
FOR $100 MORE THAN THE XBOX 360 YOU GET THE FOLLOWING:
20GB EXTRA HD SPACE
BLU-RAY PLAYER
WIRELESS
AND FREE ONLINE PLAY
SEEMS WORTH IT TO ME

*edit*
and he already OWNS a 360, hes simply asking how a ps3 stands against a 360 to see if it WORTH the money he'd spend on it.

Welcome to dpad idiot, you should probably just walk away now kid.
Also, you didn't compare anything. You just rambled on like a loser PS3 fanboy, which I don't think Andrew wanted.
no but seriously #30, I had a 360 and I wish I never got rid of it. I am in no way a ps3 fanboy, I'm just stating facts so you can just shut it now ;)
Anyhow Im attempting this amazon offer for the 199 ps3 and game.
the problem is the ps3 have blue ray player :(
kids?
rofl
the game doesn't save custom controls :[ my controls were all messed up i was trying to fierce and i was doing roundhouse.
