Video Games Thinking of trading XBox 360 for PS3 - Page 4

DBOSHO · 08-30-2012, 03:22 PM

IMO xbox live is clearly the better experience with ps3 having no in game party chat(unless theyve updated it since ive owned one) and the majority of the gaming community owning xboxes.

But if you dont plan on gaming online alot ps3 would be the better option for you.

The major irk i have with ps3s is the insane ammount of time it takes to update a game.

I rented gran turismo and it had to update so at 745 i left it to update while i went out. I shit you not, i got home at 1030 and it was 88% done.

Yeah, I have zero use for in-game chat, out-of-game chat, or anything remotely like it. Nothing like trying to play while listening to 12-year olds call people bundle of stickss when they die...

XBOX controllers are garbage. I can't tell you how many times that damn thing would turn off for no reason while I was playing a game. It's never happened once with my PS3 controller.

Never happened to me once in the 5 years I've had a 360.

Only persistent problem I have is the drive not reading the discs. I have to eject the disc and keep trying til it loads. ****in NES all over.

I have never had that happen.. Ever.. Of course I have broken 2 or 3 controllers from throwing them and twisting them apart..

Launch console with zero problems still to date..I don't even want to know how much use it has gotten... I sometimes forget to turn it off.. Runs like a charm and quiet..

I am lucky, still cant seem to win the lottery though..

I had nothing but problems with my 360. It worked well for a year and went to shit after that. I had to send it in to get repaired every 6 months like clockwork after that first year. After the third or fourth time I had it repaired I sold it and bought a PS3. I was actually praying to get the RROD just so I would get the three year warranty, never got it though.

I had my launch 360 until the slim came out. Only had it repaired once (video card failed).

I just hate the PS3 controllers. They're made for tiny, Japanese hands. Other than that they're a better machine overall.

You should've had a ps3 from the get go.

As I mentioned before, the PS3 didn't exist when I bought my 360.

Plus the players that use Ps3's are just better people overall.

Deberg_1990 · 08-31-2012, 09:27 AM

It was a few year ahead of its time and priced way high.....took a few years to finally catch on, but the PS3 is an excellent piece of hardware.

Actually both the XBOX and PS3 are going to be around for a long time, even when the next gen stuff comes around. Amazing to think they have both lasted 6 or 7 years now with no replacement. How much better can gaming get?

Surprised no one mentioned that the PS3 has a remote controller for playing Blu Rays. IIRC, ****er may be universal and programmable to your TV and Cable box.
