This is my first post and I've read all other post on the topic but since the xbox 360 slim is still new, I need some opinion.

I'm considering on buying either PS3 slim or xbox slim. I have a ps2 before this LOL and so I have probably bias toward PS3.
Based on your experience, which one do you prefer in term of performance, game (online vs offline), and community in Malaysia.

And since I'm buying this console in the US, do you think it would have any effect on the game because of the region preference? Or should I just buy it in Malaysia instead, but I dont think we have the Xbox slim yet. And if possible, what is the price range of both console in Malaysia.

Thanks!

owh common..not this kind of thread again....

ps3 have no region lock for GAMES.u can play games whatever region on ur ps3.
xbox360, yes they do have region lock.since u're buying in the us, then it's ntsc/uc.so u need to get ntsc/uc games and region free games only.suggestion, buy there..when u wanna come back to m'sia, sell it and buy another one here.

I guess if I'm going for xbox 360, probably a good idea to buy in Malaysia. Thanks for the info.

Anyway, I HAVE SEARCHED and go through the forums about it, just wondering about the Xbox 360 slim just in case anybody have had their hands on it.

i tell u what i know.

i don't have 360, but is a fact that online experience is a bit superior on 360. but ps3 is ok enough.

there are more online malaysian ps3 gamers than 360. so if u the type who don't like to play with strangers ps3 it is. it sucks if u finally met a friend to play with and find out he is on another system. really sucks

the price range is about the same. ps3 is about 12XX, 360 slim will be about 11XX

The only downside for X360 slim is the region lock. I have been frustrated before trying to find Eng version of games, and found that cannot play on my X360 becos of region lock. Example: Samurai Warriors, Import Tuner (Shoutoku Battle X)

TS, since you are one of those guys who like other people to make decisions for you, what if we tell you to jump off a cliff, will you do it?

I smell duplicate account...refer from ur statement, ur answer should be PS3... senang cakap, but i never mean PS3 are better than Xbox360, so both are good. Another thing have to correct it, i think here no one have own Slim Xbox360 yet, no one can give u the right answer, o yeah, this is funny, right??

some numbers???
all i see is the same picture being posted all over the place again and again.
and the youtube seems fake, the system didn't hangs after a minute plus with such artifact.
if the new system really easy to have hardware failure, youtube should already be filled with many video of 360 Slim with hardware failure.

btw, since the 360 Slim will detect if it get too hot and shut down, means there is temp reader built-in, thus for a hardware failure because of overheating is almost impossible.

buy both

Thanks all for the info. Yeah the game lock and the heat issue thing really kinda get in a way somehow. Well, anyway thanks guys for the input. I just need an opinion, not a decision b/c who else best to ask about using console in malaysia if not malaysian? /s

I think MOD can now lock the topic since I smell lots of trolling in.

Thanks.








It's hard being nice these days.

How the hell is that relevant?

some silly jokes..

It's no joke, there are 2 conclusions from this:
1. More PS3 gamers
2. XBox users busy playing games consistently, while PS users spamming while waiting for the next good game to come out

ahem..ahem..finally some1 can figure it out...thanks

Nonsense. Irrelevant!

1)I also could say PS3 users post more because the bloody console gives so many damn problems

2) Too many PS3 noobs asking the same damn question over and over again

Stop talking out from your arse guys. Grow up.

Do you even own both to compare?

Lets just say my housemate has a xbox elite Jasper till last years Nov. Sold it off for a PS3 after seeing Uncharted 2 on my sleek PS3 slim. Oh and with Bluray baby..hes dead sold!
Do I need both??

the new xbox360 slim looks awesome, hardware failures i guess no for the slim as my Jasper set is running strong even after i brutally torture it

It's only true if your housemate said so

but the wii users spam in the kopitiam more

Everyone knows Wii are for kids, and so adult Wii owners have no game to play so they spam

wii for sissy boy la....sotong type , they are good with wii cause lots of movement

I cannot stand this anymore!!!! Dreamcast is the beast of all gaming console!!!!

lol.. now MS and Sony want to maling Wii with motion sensing controller/controllerless for Kinect case

you guys..

i will remember to quote this to spoil ur sale for MOVE next time

Classic i have to double quote this...

Hmm.. interesting take but... have a look at this...

Transformers Topic in XBox Section.. 2 pages.. it doesn't even have anyone talking about buying the game, the problems they face, etc
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1453708

Same topic in PS section.. 15 pages... but it does have people talking about buying the game and the problems they face, etc
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1256245

this thread is getting nowhere

TS, suggest close this thread pls

I think Just leave this thread alive..
At least all these opinion/views about console war can be merge in one sigle thread
Me... just love to read...

kris dayanti vs. siti nurhaliza

For me it hard to decide which one are better. Both has advantage and disadvantage.

360 have = Halo, Gears of War(I really hate it but xBoT's love this game), Mass Effect (There are rumor that Bioware will be releasing trilogy of this game for PS3), Alan Wake, Kinect
& *ahem* Games
But I really don't like *ahem* games cuz you have alot of games cant decide which one you should play first
PS3 All the way

I just get the ps3 slim from nelson, after playing call of duty on xbox360 of my friend and now im playing cod:mw2 on ps3 ... I think on ps3 is better,

I dont like Slim, I like fat..hahhaa..baru sedap nak peluk..

Xbox 360 S - external power brick, not so qualified to be called "slim" anyway, more visible vents than PS3 Slim, use glossy finishing like PS3 phat, HDMI port still very close to the AV multiout port

PS3 Slim - internal power supply, cheap plastic case, more slim than Xbox 360 S, no issue when using Analog audio out with HDMI video out

This post has been edited by dark lenanza: Jun 26 2010, 11:17 AM

My housemate told me DC is not from Sony, so it's not the best console. Do I even need to get a DC to prove that?

I have heard rumors about the 360 Slim heating up a lot.

One podcast actually said that the 360 Slim heats up pretty much anything within 6 inches of it.

Hope it ain't true.

yea hope so..sometimes the rumors aint true at all

by right, combining gpu and cpu in 1 die, u should reduce heat by half, plus valhalla cpu integrate heatspreader which is missing in the other 3 revisions.

alot of the cases of overheating are cause by malfunction cpu fans, since its soo quiet u dont even know if the fan works.

spelling

i work at midvalley northpoint, right above the sony service center. i see someone carrying a ps3 slim back from/to the service center every other day. so, can i start a rumor that the ps3 slim breaks down a lot?

i heard one podcast actually said the ps3 slim heats up pretty much anything within 6 inches of it too!

hope it ain't true!

BOTH CONSOLES ALSO HEATS UP PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING WITHIN 6 INCHES! Sheesh, people need to stop comparing and just go for the games they want to play.

Hi all Guru,

just about thinking to get a PS3 console, may i confirm few questions from you ?

1. each new game title will normally found in PS3 and Xbox ?

2. PS3 online play will need not to pay ?

3. If i get a PS3 with 120GB will it be enough ? how much capacity will required to install one game normally ?

4. What is about singapore set ? any other country set as well ? what is the different ? which one is recommended ? can claim warranty if it is SG set ?

5. Any recommended place for console buying ? what is the market price and package i expecting ?

I prefer to sport game like soccer, boxing, NBA , and may be some basic game like Mario for my wife, is PS3 a choice ?

Thanks in advance for answering!

1. only multiplatform games.
2. ya no need
3. depends on ur gaming habit and how crazy u are on downloading games/demo u bought/got from the PSN store.
4. SG set claim from SG. So better buy MY Set
5. Just browse thru our garage sales.

PS3 got platform and a variety of sports games too...so yes. But if she just likes mario for her mustache , then just get wii or the DS.

pee as twee games region free ! yeay

Thanks PhoenixByte and Gamersfamilia,

if i do not plan to play online, and consider playing ahem game instead since it can save cost, would it recommend to take Xbox 360? but i also prefer Ps3 since it got BlueRay, i can use it for movie ....confusing

now is the age of HD bro...if u got lcd tv, then watching bluray is the way to go...or go astro B.Yond

I have both consoles.. (was before my falcon 360 got strike by rrod)

in term of on9 capabilities, 360 won.

games library, 50-50

powerfull console, got bluray player somemore, ps3 won.

exclusives games, 50-50 (GOW & GOW)

lastly.. enjoy your gaming life..

You can't afford to buy Ori PS3 games and you're thinking of buying Blu Rays? You're most certainly confused...

imho..

ps3
-free PSN/online gaming
-media/bluray player
-exclusive ps3 games

xbox360
-paid xbox live but better/smoother online gaming
-exclusive xbox360 games

the TRUE answer with this kind of question is toooooooo subjectives... it will never end.. if you can afford it, buy both.. trust me.. but if you cant, just close your eyes and pick what ever console you want.. it is just the same.. but of course you need to sacrifice the exclusive games for the other console..

yeah, i never understand y people ask these questions. if u know what u want u won't be asking. if u dono what u want just eeneeminimoo and pick one. u won't be dissapointed anyway coz u dono how green the grass the other side. if u go through analyzing and researching u will realise that the grass is greener the other side on some features. but since u dono what u want to start with, it will just confuse you further. if u want your grass and the greener grass too, buy both.

Actually my brother got those Blue-Ray disc , so he can borrow me

i dont know what this thread is about...but im buying ps3 tmr..

It aint truth cuz I am using PS3 and haven't experienced anything like that XBOT
My PS3 SLIM doesn't heat anything with in 6 inches

I play Red Dead everynight. Every 10 minutes, the fan goes crazy..oh noes... PS3 is overheating, dun buy PS3. Everything heats up, even your pants.

sarcasm doesn't really translate well in forums does it?

i have ps3 slim. doesn't seem so hot oso.

but everybody so paranoid about consoles breaking down. electronic gadgets r like that......any electronic gadget not only consoles. that's y we have warranty. if so scared main congkak la. doen't mean u hear something bad means it will happen to u. and doesn't mean something bad never happen it won't happen to u. so relax la and stop asking questions like this, please. first time buy electronic stuff isit? kesian. still washing clothes with hands aaaa?

+1 dude.

can't understand why people bother so much on the breakdown.

tell me one electronic product that don't produce heat. even fridge is hot behind it. tv, pc, oven, washing machine all produce heat.

its not like we have to shove the hot consoles up our ass. just ensure that ventilation is good around the console. if you're that paranoid, buy a cheap rm50 pensonic 12" fan and blowjob the console's ass back directly. dun be a 2" fanboi luls.

AFAIK the new jasper + valhalla for 360 dont have the 3ROD problem anymore (if you have other sets, GLHF. Play it as long as you can). sony ps3 also dont have any serious heat issues. wii? don't kid me man.

it's not like we can cook omelette on them dude!

haha. when the weather is hot i cool myself by sitting near it. that also still got funky cooling attachments u can buy for it. all made in china. china is creating a market for the paranoid. still waiting for the gadget with freon gas...

I will go for xbox360 because of KINECT

xbox online play need pay how much? pay monthly? and how to pay?

Got 3 months and 12 months subscription. Can buy online. Some game shop also got. Also there are sellers here in the forum.
3 months about RM90. 12 months around RM160 - RM250 depends on where u buy.
