So I play on XBox live pretty much all the time. Mostly Halo 3. If anyone has a 360 and wants to play my gamertag is 'Blackout V07' (V zero seven) I also play Guitar Hero 3, Halo 2, Devil May Cry 4, and Gears of War. And Sonic the Hedgehog 2 once in a while. But I mostly play Halo 3. I'm a middle of the pack player, I'm only a grade 3 Commander. So if anyone wants to play, find me on XBL, or message me here.

If I can find some time this fall, I'll do it. I usually like FPS on the PC, but whatever. My skills are so eroded now it won't matter.

I hate the 360 with a burning passion usually only reserved for my asshole brother.

Red Ring of useless HD-DVD playing crap.

I'm a PS3 fanboy now.

I'm sorry then. And the 360 doesn't play HD-DVDs. You would have to buy the useless add-on. I would like the PS3 but they have no exclusive game that are worth anything, and the good games they do have are available for the 360 too.

Sorry, buddy. Going to have to disagree.
The PS3 has plenty of awesome exclusives.
It's all a matter of personal preference.

God of War III
Metal Gear Solid
Little Big Planet(and please spare me a launch into the reasons why everyone assumes that Little Big Planet is lame. If you haven't played it, your comments are null and void.)
Killzone 2

Anyway, those are just a few examples.
Besides, PS3 is just a far more reliable system, to be honest.
It's a better deal money-wise.
The harddrive is included, build in Blu-Ray player, it functions as a computer.
It's just a matter of quality in my opinion.

So of course.. now she changes the font size and I look like the idiot.

You'd think that by now, I'd get used to this type of thing. :wall:

God of War is a bad ass game, no questions there, Metal Gear Solid is making its way to the 360 and I liked KillZone when it was Call of Duty. It is a more expensive system with dwindling third party support, and it's magic wand deal looks piss poor up against Natal. As far as reliability, the 360 is a giant piece of shit. It's a broken ass console that just recently (supposedly) had it's hardware upgraded or fixed or some shit. That being said, the PS3 is an extremely overpriced bluray player, period. And for the record, bluray is NOT the way of the future. Not at all. Streaming videos, like what netflix offers on the 360 or what MS offers on the XBox martketplace, is the next big thing.

Your personal preference bullshit argument is just that, bullshit. It trails the 360 and the Wii in every category you can imagine. God of War is awesome and Infamous looks great as well but if you want to stack up titles I'd be more than happy to. The PS3 just fucking loses. I'm tired of this argument. No one even takes this seriously anymore. The 360 has had a system failure rate that is unreal, it's the only one of the 3 nextgen consoles that charges for it's online service and it in fact does NOT have a fucking bluray player. Yet, the PS3 can't take the lead can it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think dipshits like myself go out and buy another 360 (like I did a few days ago) when theirs breaks? Because you get what you pay for. You may have to pay for it a few times over, MS has made an art form out of fucking their customers up the ass, but the PS3 is third rate gaming system that can't keep up with the 360 in any department. So go fuck yourself with a shovel.

I can't STAND that matter-of-fact attitude that people who own a PS3 have. It's always accompanied with the same regurgitated bullshit arguments that every asshole who pissed away $500 on a fucking DVD player makes for it too.

I have a PS3 and can't defend little big planet. It blows.

There are no good PS3 only games. For me the list of games I play is as follows: GTA, CoD, MoH, SOCOM, madden, ncaa football, rockband, afro samurai. I think they are all available on both platforms.

I wish I could play Dead Rising. But so far, that's the only xbox only game I'm missing. In fact, I bought the 360 specifically for dead rising when it first came out.

I had an XBOX 360. Three of them, technically. They all died. The XBOX 360 is an honest to goodness case study in how NOT to design hardware. No one except electronic packaging engineers like myself are bound to care... but you have to give msft props. If you are going to do something bad, go all the way.

What I do like about the PS3 is the integrated PSP support. I think it's neat to be able to play games that are stored on your PS3 over wifi on your PSP. That being said, not all games work.

I get netflix and burn movies to my hard drive. PS3 can stream them over wifi, and always could. For other movies, I have an appleTV (I also have a slingbox, but I prefer sucking Steve Jobs' cock)

If you don't like Halo, and for the record, I don't... they are effectively a matter of personal preference. I hate how big the xbox controller is. I prefer the PS3 controller, and I used to play madden on the PS2, XBOX maps buttons differently and it pisses me off.

I should note for Chad, that PS3 also streams videos (including new releases) with the latest software update.

I'm happy with my original Xbox. It plays the games I like (Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Burnout 3: Takedown, & Burnout Revenge). With an adapter it'll play DVDs (not that I've ever wanted/needed to do so). It has a HD, and can be modified to become a Media Center. My surround sound system has an upconverting DVD player built in, and plays the DVDs I already own with incredible quality on my HDTV, so I see no need to spend money on a Bluray player. For that matter, Burnout Revenge looks incredible on the HDTV via Xbox. Since I play games on it maybe 2-3x per year, it would be wasting money to buy either an Xbox 360 or a PS3 at this point.
No.

Halo 3 is the only reason I bought a 360. I had planned on getting PS3. I also want to expand on what I said earlier, there are people who hate the the 360 and went with a PS3 because of the RRoD. People who have sworn off the 360 because MS fucked them in the ass for a couple hundred dollars fall into a different category all together. I like to call those people "smart". That doesn't mean what I said was wrong though. The gaming library for each system is stacked up very differently, and the 360 still wins. Project Natal is still going to kick the shit out of the magic wand too. A few days ago I bought my second 360 with the most extensive warranty GameStop has to offer so I will never have to again deal with MS. I had thought about getting a PS3. I talked with a lot of my XBox buddies and told them that I wasn't going to give MS anymore of my money. They all said the same thing, have fun playing the PS3 all by yourself. I talk with my online buddies outside of XBox Live, we're all on each others Facebook, we call each other on the phone, there is even a huge LAN party once a year at this one guys house everyone goes to. That's the only reason I got another 360. Well that ... and the next Halo game is coming out in less than 2 weeks ...

And to update my original post, my gamertag is 'ChadItSelf' and I'm a Brigadier grade 1 now in Halo 3. Christ this thread was a long time ago. How the hell did the newbie find this thing?

I liked Little Big Planet...it was weird and fun but that's just my opinion. Halo is okay, I played with Chad a little bit and that was fun. I got a PS3 cuz my 360 broke 4 times in one year which was getting annoying. I really do like all of the systems equally though just cuz I like playing video games :thumbsup:
