We don't think it's helpful or beneficial to go into exact details of what the technological issues are. We're pushing the envelope on both the platforms."

maybe all the 360's at rockstars studio got RROD and they had to start all over :P

Your quote shows nothing more than avoidance of a question. The game was delayed due to the frame drops on PS3. At that point Rockstar decided to improve the auto aim system.
Our sources are equal. Nobody is telling the full story. Just the same as Sony deciding to use the 6 axis control after E3 showed the Wii controls. Sony will say the whole time that it was planned from the start yet there was no real support for the function at release.

Oh, and by the way, that Wii bit wasn't to be taken seriously, lol. I've never actually even played it. Looks like it'd be fun at a party or whatever, but I'd rather just have a 360/PS3 for myself.

Thats why it is fun. The wii isn't meant to be played by yourself that much, its about looking like a retard playing it :)

Predator 03-09-2008 12:52 AM

I got my kids a Wii and I have to admit that I like it also. Twilight Princess was a pretty damn good game. For the most part its more of a novelty for me. I still play my 360 more. I am actually planning on getting Force Unleashed for both systems. The 360 is a more in depth game experience where the Wii has a special team working to perfect the motion sensing. The buzz says that the Lightsabre will track along with the Wii control. A slice to the right and up with the control will track that way. I am really looking forward to seeing how well it works out.

RoemerMW 03-09-2008 01:19 AM

I got the red ring of death a couple of weeks ago. They replaced it in two weeks or so, and they paid for the shipping so I don't have any complaints. I prefer the 360 mainly because I like more of the 360 specific games than ps3 specific games, plus I like the 360 controller better.

Nosmada 03-10-2008 10:44 AM

I have all three, and personally i like either the wii or 360. Ps3 is just, i cant even explain it, i have no desire to play it. and all the games that are worth buying for ps3 come out for 360 anyways (i know not all 90% or so). I have never heard of a 360 failing or what ever i know a lot of people with them and nobody has any problems. I also prefer xbox to ps2 , i just seems sony products in my house gather dust.

The failure is about 30%. It sucks, but its true. You get 3 red lights that flash and all you can do is turn it off and call Microsoft for repair. The good thing is that Microsoft voluntarily extended the original 1 year warranty to 3 years for hardware failures. Its a pain in the ass but if you call MS and tell them what happened they will send you a box to ship it back to them in. They say its about a 2-3 month turn around, but every one I know of that went in for repair was back in under a month. All is done at no cost and you get Live gold for I think 3 months for the hassle. A lot of people are saying that it isn't enough but when you consider Sony's support of the laser issue with PS2, I think MS is being pretty fair.
My Wii started having disk read errors after about 3 months so I called Nintendo about it. They offered to have me send it in for repair for free. I explained to them that the repair would take to long and we wouldn't have it back in time for Christmas so they threw out a few more options. Their repair center was about 200 miles from me and they could repair it in a couple hours. We headed up the Saturday before Christmas. I walked in to the repair center and told them what was going on, they looked up my name, took my Wii into a back room and came back out about 30 minutes later. They handed me a brand new Wii with all my saved games transfered, moved my shop account over so I could download everything again for free and gave me 3000 Wii points for free. Thats what I call support. Sure I could have taken it back to the store, but they were out of stock and I wouldn't have gotten my info transfered. The only thing that I think would have made it better would have been a tour of the VIP museum.

Far Beyond Driven 03-11-2008 09:09 PM

It seems to me that the only problem that people have with the PS3 is that it doesn't have many good games, so when it does get good games, which it will, the Xbox 360 will finally be seen as the piece of **** it is.

Now it's time for all the whiny 360 fanboys to make a million posts about how they think this is wrong.

sweet_nothing 03-11-2008 09:15 PM

Xbox live! Some of those games will be on the Xbox why do think Devil May Cry 4 was?

Doesn't matter. You're still a PS3 fanboy, thats the worst kind.


PS3 seems more marketed as a full home entertainment setup. If I want that, I'll get a PS3. I want to play games, so I have a 360. I'm not saying that PS3 is all that bad, I just don't like it. I didn't like it when I had it and I don't think thats gonna change.

sweet_nothing 03-11-2008 09:53 PM

PS3 sucks! It sucks! There is no argument, no one bought the piece of sh1t because it sucks. You can come up with a million excuses but at the end of the day the Xbox 360 will still be better.

And you are a 360 fanboy.




Every system on the market has a loyal fan base for a reason. Every system has its own set of selling points. I prefer the 360, I think it is a superior gaming system, but I have nothing but sales figures to back that up. I prefer to play 360 over any other system but that is my opinion and I am not wrong for it. Nobody is wrong for liking the PS3 either.

lol Actually I'm a Wii fanboy. But seriously I use to be I Sonyboy, until I bought my 360 which made me fall in love with gaming again

Predator 03-11-2008 10:14 PM

I was all about the PS2 until I got an XBOX. Sony just doesn't impress me anymore. Nintendo is willing to take risks and that goes a long way in my book. I have owned every Nintendo system including the eyeball frying Virtual Boy. Nintendo has always taken chances and everybody else builds on it.

:clap: this is so true. Same here with the Ps2 until I got and Xbox and Halo 2. My first system was an N64 in kindergarden...good times.

*sigh*

your the reason xbox live is no fun.

Anywho, the thing i find confusing about this argument is that at the end of the day, the 360 and ps3 are far more similar then they are different.

Both generally have the same games, both have the same graphics, while one has better online, while the other has blue ray.

So why is the ps3 that much worse? when really, its about the same as it was last gen with the ps2 and original xbox.

For those who say the ps3 has no games, they arent looking hard enough. Its the same people who say the wii has no games. They do, they just dont have games you are willing to give a chance.

Ive played halo and gears. Technically they're great, but i guess why i like the ps3 and wii more is because i enjoy Japanese developers more.

But saying nobody bought the "lolz piece of **** 3 durpeydeydurp" is a real understatement.

sweet_nothing 03-12-2008 03:04 PM

Blue ray? If I wanted a Blue Ray player I'd buy one. If I wanted I a Gaming system with great online and great games I'd buy a Xbox. If I wanted family fun party i'd get a wii.

come on buddy, don't tell people to do that if your incapable of doing it yourself.

Plus the wii is more then party games. "No More heroes, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Zack and Wiki, Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem" Just like the Ps3 is more then a blue ray player. You know, games can be put ON blue rays...

So that would make having a blue ray-playing GAME machine quite useful too.
Hell Kojima said hes already filled up one 40gb blue ray disc on MGS4 already.

sweet_nothing 03-12-2008 03:15 PM

sigh...stop talking about games that haven't been realesed yet.

mark1990celtic1888 03-12-2008 03:34 PM

i own a ps3. sure the games have been mediocre but i stick with Sony 100%. Xbox 360 does have a better online system in terms of gaming, but you have to pay for it. with ps3 you have a built in blue ray player, bluetooth, and everthing is free online. it also boasts an internet browser so you can go on any website. also you dont need batteries to play wireless. so i think the ps3 is far superior.

Molecules 03-12-2008 04:02 PM

i can't really commit to taking out a mortgage to afford either of them, though my old flatmate had a 360 and i started having childhood flashbacks. videogames are the brilliant really, i want an edible version of Splinter Cell that you play like an acid trip upon digestion. or something.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you do need batteries. Eventually the batteries in your controls will need to be replaced.

I agree, so why did PS3 come out at what ever crazy price it came out at (even thought i still bought it). I have not played my PS3 in probably a month. I was a person all excited to get blu-ray on a gaming system, haven't done anything with that yet. And also any games worth getting on PS3 come out for 360 (with a couple exceptions i am sure DW6).

People talk about the whole wireless in the PS3, Wii the cheapest system of them all has it too, like right now i am on my Wii typing this in bed. I also love the ability to download games and other applications on the wii like i got Legend or Zelda: Ocrania of time on my wii.

My rankings
360
Wii
Ps3

Having all three of them, and also not having any loyalties to any company previously .

PS: alot of girls like to play the wii, man it is a pretty good tool. Have made use of it.

This is true to the fact that it is a party system, you look like a dork playing it alone.

Because it was expensive to make. Sony was already not making a profit of it, and selling it at a lower price point would make them lose even more.

Since then however, the cost of the cell chips has dropped substantialy, resulting in the new price cuts.


Ps3 also has a web browser though.
