Thinking of trading XBox 360 for PS3

[htismaqe]

Pretty fed up with the whole XBox Live "Gold" idea. Can't watch Netflix without Gold. Can't watch ESPN without Gold. Can't finish achievements on most games without Gold (because the achievements relate to online play somehow).

And now I bought an old coop game (Sacred 2) to play with my daughter and it's all ****ed up because Microsoft wants her to pay for a Gold account TOO.

With the next gen consoles probably 18 months out, is it worth it to make the switch? How does PSN (the free version, not PSN+) compare to XBox Live? If I like to play Live Arcade games, will I regret changing?

Try to keep the fanboi stuff to a minimum, I would like some sincere responses.

Not exclusive, but if you've never played Red Dead Redemption, stop everything you're doing and buy that game.

This the one they did a zombie version too?

It was the next game on my list for the 360. I still plan on playing it but not until I at least finish GOW Saga and possibly Uncharted 1/2.

RDR is better than all of those. I don't really like the GoW series though.

LA Noire is awesome too.

I already bought GOW Saga, so they automatically get played before anything else.

Plus, I'm trying to catch up on games that I was unable to play because they were exclusive to PS3 (assuming they're worth playing). That puts the Uncharted titles on the list simply because you won't find a Review site, forum, or a 36-year old guy at Gamestop that still lives in his Mom's basement that would give them less than 8 out of 10.

Yep, that's what everybody says.

Well, I'm 80% done with the original God of War and color me ultra-****ing-annoyed at the platforming segments.

They ruined a GREAT game with the bullshit saws and moving floor panels.

ya the exclusives suck. God of War looks and Uncharted look cool, wish I could play them. But do they make xbox controllers for the PS3? no way I could ever get used to anything else.

The actually do.

It's a 3rd party controller, I think it's called After Glo.

And Fable was pretty good for an XBox exclusive.

The platforming sections of the last 2 acts have completely ruined this game for me.

I've got about 11 hours into this game, 3-4 of which I've been trying to get past these 2 small sections each about 5 minutes long.

I'm now stuck at the 2nd to last area and can't make it past because my reflexes just aren't good enough.

If you get a chance, take a screenshot of where you are stuck and post it here, maybe I can give you a tip.
