HTF Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 makes sense. bottom line, we are all entitled to our opinions. i should really get one of the consoles so that i can have an opinion. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Get both :D 1.) go to carphonewarehouse, and take out a contract phone and get a FREE PS3 2.) then go to currys/comet or somewhere and buy an xbox elite You could save a hell of a lot of money :p Edited January 1, 2008 by booboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTF Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 it doesn't seem like ps3 has a good selection of games. is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It has an ok selection, nothing on the xbox though. What can you expect? The xbox has been out a hell of a lot longer than the PS3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted January 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 1, 2008 it doesn't seem like ps3 has a good selection of games. is that true? Somewhat. Some people say it has no games, but it really depends on what you like. I like many types of games, so can buy nearly anything and enjoy it. I got Armored Core 4, Assassins Creed, Lego Star Wars, Ratchet & Clank Future, Resistance and Uncharted, all of which I really enjoy playing. And I'm hoping to pick up Call of Duty 4, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and Warhawk next week, and maybe some random others as I'm sure the sales will be on. Waiting on Unreal Tournament 3 to come out too, and might get Haze when it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I might get a PS3. I have a PS2 and would like to carry over some of my current games. But, I'm not a frequent gamer. How well does the PS3 rate as an all-in-one "entertainment" center to play MP3, Blu-Ray, etc. I might not have a hi-def screen initially. I'm moving in near future and have a 5+year old Toshiba DVD player and was going to upgrade it. If there's any game I'm going to play its MGS4 and maybe Portal. I lament that playing with mouse and keyboard for FPSes would be immensely easier. Though MGS series has so far been the only one I wouldn't complain about. I'd been thinking of upgrading to an uber-computer but I really want a work-station so no games. The money saved on a video-card and new DVD player would buy me a PS3.

PiracyX Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 While I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, it's unfortunately common practice in the GH for people to mock you as you share a different opinion than theres :hmmm:It's ironic, they're mocking you for having an opinion by their own opinion... Audio, i never said it was my own opinion that the PS3 is not better than the 360. I never responded by saying "no 360 has better graphics than PS3" either. They are both just as good as each other. Just because i have a 360 and not a PS3 doesnt make me biased to say that the graphics do not out-do each other since they look very much alike when comparing the same games on both platforms. For someone to say the graphics on PS3 is far better than 360 is a joke, because even if it is their own opinion that thinks this, it is a flawed opinion and doesnt account for what others think. The fact of the matter is and proberly truth, BOTH consoles look identical in terms of graphics from the same games being compared via the same connection.

Obviously it doesn't account for what everyone thinks, it's an individual based opinion. It's also not really about 360 vs PS3, just the way in which people respond with things like "LMAO" at someone elses opinion. The least you could do is be decent and say, look, I don't necessarily see/believe that, what makes you think it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least you could do is be decent and say, look, I don't necessarily see/believe that, what makes you think it? And the least he could of done was not express his opinion that the PS3 has better graphics than the 360, because that is going to start a war. If i came into this thread and said "why you want a PS3, XBOX360 is better, It has much better graphics" then i would be trolling as much as what he said about PS3 graphics being much better than XBOX360. Only difference is i didnt say such a thing. I only laughed at the fact that what he said isn't true, which isnt is it? I mearly asked why a PS3, and we got back - the graphics are better than XBOX360 :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booboo Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Can I just cover one thing up quickly, The PS3 has the potential to have better games, it's just no one has brought anything that really test's the ps3's system I don't want to argue anymore, but sure, opinion's are opinions, but basing it on the specifications on each system, the ps3 has the possibility to have bigger and better games.

IMO the hardware is of much better quality than X360, albeit more expensive. just crappy ports bringing the system down. if you look at the exclusives there are no real technical issues.
