do pray tell how is the 360 inferior to the PS3. i'm really curious to know how.

Isn't it obvious??? DVD ROM instead of BD ROM
No built in WIFI
Small HDD capacity
Uses AA battery to power up the controller
No optical out (Older amplifier needs optical cable to decode AC3/DTS)
Swapping discs

There are the few main points. Don't forget you'll have to pay to subcribe to LIVE!!

Isn't it obvious??? DVD ROM instead of BD ROM/Swapping discs
Will it affect the game? Is it anything wrong if in multi disc? I feel is cool when i paying RM200 for a game with more than 1 disc, I feel worth it man. Yes I admit I am cheap mindset . And hor is it so hard to change a disc? For good example EVERY chapter in MGS4, we need to wait the stupid snake smoke for like 1-2 min than can only continue the game............

No built in WIFI
Some users doesnt need the wifi but they forced to paid for that. I am 1 of them.

Small HDD capacity
No deny on this. M$ suck !

Uses AA battery to power up the controller
Another cool feature huh!? please throw away those electric stuff require 2A, 3A battery.

No optical out (Older amplifier needs optical cable to decode AC3/DTS)
Oh really? Please check before you comment.

For a very good example, I bought PS3, Xbox360 aka you all so call crapbox and PC version SFIV. I got no problem on crapbox SFIV online match with local, SG, HK or other Asia countries SFIV players. But for PS3 version, PSN really pissed me off man, play with local PSN friends also have problem either failed to join or play halfway drop......For me do I like other ppls here said Screamyx screw the PSN? Oh yes ofcouse Screamyx screw everything......but why not for XBL !

I am 1 of the PS3 user, no point to debate other consoles, all the consoles have their pro and cons. We're just a gamers, we bought console just for games. Sony make a very successful marketing. They teach ppls how great PS3 is......and these ppls trust it !

I think the worst thing on Xbox360 is the 3ROD cases, just about everyone i knew who had the 360 experienced it. Shows just how inferior and badly engineered the console is.

right... thanks for highlighting the features that makes the PS3 so much superior.

i feel like an idiot buying the xbox already. maybe i should stop playing games on my 360, that by the way plays and look exactly the same on the ps3, already.

My take on X360 vs PS3:

This is my personal experience and cost.


This is what I purchased in the past:
1 modded X360 Elite - RM2200
About 1 yrs of XBOX Live (i am buying a 3-months package) - RM 360
12 original X360 games - RM 150 average per game - RM 1800
1 modded X360 Jasper Pro after my X360 Elite RROD beyond repair - RM 1400
1 Madcatz TE for X360 - RM790 (which KOed on me in one month)
DLCs (3 DLCs for Fallout 3, Oblivion DLCs, SFIV DLCs, SCIV DLCs, KOF98UM, MOTW, MVC2, SSFIIHD, FFS) - I put it at RM600
Numerous "ahem-ahem" games at RM10 a piece (i have about 200 i think, of which about 5 - 6 i played regularly) - RM2000

Total X360 gaming cost to me in less than 2 yrs: RM 9150

For PS3:
1 PS3 Slim - RM1180
Online - free
DLC - Tekken 5 DR onllne - RM80
Games - numbering at 10 at the moment - RM1350 (some I buy used)
Going to get an HRAP SA tomorrow - RM650

Total PS3 gaming cost to me so far: RM 3260

So far, i have been very careful with the games i bought. I will really research it out and see which one is more suitable, which one I will play for a long time. So far so good, only traded off some games that i can't get into like Killzone 2 and LBP.
The saving will come from buying less games and free online.

P/S: After all my calculations, i found that i spend a lot on gaming

Wow, 9k on 360 is a lot.
but 2k spent on ahem ahem that you only play 5-6? hehe i guess u buy a lot just to experiment huh?

yeah, some games I just bought, try one time, then put aside already The only games that i play often are COD4, SFIV, Fallout 3. Can't do that for PS3

haha u mentioned u own xbox 360 but seems you got no idea abt optical out? lol


wah the numbers shows how much u love xbox360 over ps3

Actually, not really. i now love PS3 more. I sold off my X360 already PS3 Slim attraction is too much for me, and I am glad I switched consoles now.

wcliang,

You need a Component cable to enable optical output. (Mine is Jasper, I have no idea how those older revision looks like).

Ask yourself, what if you want to use HDMI cable for video output & optical out for audio output (to connect it to an AVR that has only optical input).

You can't use both unless the strip open the Component cable which really make things look messy. It can be done buy it does look awful with those component cables dangling here & there. Another way is to get a HDMI cable with optical output from Microsoft & that will cost you a bomb.

not really.
xbox only hve xbox and xbox 360

while playstation
hve ps1,ps1 slim,ps2,ps2 slim,ps3,ps3slim,psp1k,psp2k,psp3k,psp go

they can discuss more.thats why playstation post is active beside than ps3 games.
i think laa.

after reading this thread i regretted leaving my superior PS3 eating dust for so long it has half turned into a fossil now...

and please! lyn post count does not represent the whole malaysian xbl/psn user, my god!

fanboys on this thread give me a migraine...


seriously...I love all my consoles...I read to them so they can go to bed, tuck them in with protective coverings, dust them, kiss them...I mean I love them all equally...why cant we all respect all the consoles for what they are good at?

yup.... that is so true bro. i dont get it why some fanboys just love to act like some douche who thinks his console is better than the rest. omaiiii.....

honestly. i feel the ps3 community is more friendly and open to things. i've actually made some friends. back on the xbox 360, when i first started GOW, i was pretty noob, most of the pro's just laughed/ kicked me out most of their games. and this were malaysians xbox gamers. ask a question in the xbox forum, some one will flame the shit out of you. I mean we're in a forum, means we're up to open discussion.

the whole ps3 community from malaysia is awesome. especially for MW2 and KZ2. very friendly community and they offered loads of help.

most of them speak in malay but i get along fine with english as they actually reply my posts. alot of them invite me for games and all too, a real friendly community.

even the winning eleven players are really nice.

sad to say, the only reason why my xbox 360 is still alive is cause i play some jack sparrow games. and i dont bother going on LIVE cause any online game i'm interested in will be on the ps3 already.

yeah, learn something new today huh


haha new ps3 slim indeed attractive. considering get 1 too

Actually he's right from the start. Recent units don't come with Component Cables that has optical output.

@Cristiano-Ronaldo-7 : Sadly, i do have to agree with your point. Although in reality most Xbox360 gamers are a great fun lot, but at times some are not that friendly to newbies.

aiyo.. u should google some news regarding FFXIII, because of Xbox version which will be in 3/4 DVDs, the PS3 version also have to be made like those FF7/8/9.. means the flexibility in FFX-2 is gone. I dunno whether S-E developed with Xbox in mind from day one, but that is one bluray potential which has been wasted. For more info, go to FFXIII thread in PS section

open-ended RPG is best made on bluray disc, as the message like "please insert disc x" can be avoided when you want to go to different area in the game

anyway, for fun factor, there is a Wii
for current gen graphics, there is a PS3
for some MS exclusive games which MS deliberately skipped the PC platform, there is an Xbox 360
