very good article.I for one, not a fanboy, but prefer ps3.maybe cos grew up playing ps1 and ps2.
planning to get the new xbox slim.

I hate the xbox for one reason, piracy.
pirates got their game earlier and cheaper.
makes the experience very sakit hati, like my housemate with xbox.
his other fren with modded xbox always dload ahead of release date and spoil it for him...lol

everything has a weakness, sony's free online is unreliable at best.
some blu ray have crack and renders it unplayable after some time, and with no warranty to bluray, your money is out the window.
and the new playstation plus  is damn  doh.gif

what I hope for xbox is that they fix their piracy issue, and adopt to bluray.

Hi,

I'm not a fanboy, but I do disagree about the pirated stuff. while it's true that the piracy is rampant to the XBOX360 but I'm still on original and I do get my games from some shop that is honest enough to me and not only Gamers Hideout.

I hate pirate more than you do as I don't do pirate at all as for now.

bluray I ot no comment but dude, I do firmly believe Playstation Plus is one of the Must-have subscription for hardcore PS3 gamers~~~~~~~~!

its no excuse for pirating. but the console makers get what they ask for. piracy will never just vanish without the console maker's commitment. coz human attitude towards piracy is like finding cash on the street, wouldn't u take it? so yeah there a lot of parties to blame, but lets just say to those console makers - "padan muka". ps3 is the only console that has zero piracy. so its proof that the most effective solution is from the console makers, and don't blame those pirates as the root problem.

i highly think that this thread should be reposted in Apple byte, I mean, MS never openly bash Sony nor do Sony to MS, but when you see the Apple conferences, everytime must have some minutes spent to demean competitors

Apple marketing team, including their authorized resellers consists of Apple fanboys more than any other marketing dept in other companies

no i wouldn't. but only if there is no price to pay. e.g. the 360 u can do that but the price u pay is u get banned online. wii u can do that too, but the price u pay is some games it is an hassle to make it work. 360 online banning is high price to pay, that's y i never understand y people still choose modded 360. its just not worth it. i guess some people r just not aware (yes, they don't know d term 'modded' until after they bought their 360). for the wii i can understand coz its less inconvenient, unless u buy korean.

To point out, that's not a VP at all. tongue.gif But it is a sony actor and they didn't just mock MS, they mocked Nintendo too. I'm just waiting for everything to hit out at each other.

Look at here, people buy ori even though Playbox copy only 1/20 of the original. There're thing called dignity, there're also people who really willing to support the original maker of the stuff.

If you're not, then that's your own problem, not everybody think like you dude.
