re: Do I get the feeling of 360 owners being bitter?

I have a 360 and like it...I couldnt give two shits about what any of you have on here unless you want to play me on live. I might get a ps3 if they drop it to 300 bones anytime soon, if not i'll live. I THINK ARGUING OVER VIDEO GAMES IS KIND OF HOMO.

i have both and prefer playing sports games on ps3

If you have one or the other, it makes sense that you'll love what you have and not care about the other.

For those that have both, it seems more often than not, PS3 is the favorite.

I have both, 360 is great fun with live being a lot more fluid than PSN. But, overall, PS3 gets a lot more use from me.

I have a 360, and I'm currently on 360 #3. The $60 warranty from Best Buy saved my opinion of the 360. I had two get the RRoD, and I brought them back and got a brand new one within minutes. That being said, I really like the PS3, more bang for your buck, depending on how you use it. The fact that it has a bluray player almost made be buy it when it came out, just for the fact that any other bluray player was close to $1k.

I'd rather Xbox live, even for the $50/yr, because at frist, it was all we had and thats what I'm used to. Also, I've gotten more than my moneys worth out of that already with the amount of Xbox live that I've played; i'm sure most of you here have gotten yours too.

You hear more about people's Xboxes crapping out, than PS3s for obvious reasons. The Xboxes crap out more often. I do have a buddy whose PD3 stopped reading discs within a week of him getting it. However, that is the ONLY PS3 I've heard having problems from my friends/coworkers.

RAGINTIGER is right tho, its whatever makes you happy, why should anyone give a shite about what anyone else says about the console that they like?

I know a bunch of people who have both (including myself) and they all prefer the 360. Different people like different things but my 360 gets way more use than my PS3 does.

but there's no denying the 360 is of inferior quality

Define inferior quality. If you mean the RROD issue, I'll give you that.

As far as games look nicer and running smoother on the PS3, that is a total crapshoot. Some run/look better on the 360 and some run/look better on the PS3. It's a wash.

Inferior quality would be defined as.

The high likelihood that you'll lose MULTIPLE systems due to hardware failure completely out of control.

If that doesn't sink your battle ship, there are also the minor naggin flaws like the fact that the CD tray is poorly designed so that the SLIGHEST movement to the system while on is likely to dig deep ravines all over your precious new game.


The 360's ultimate positive is Live.

The only problem? How do you log on live when your 360 is constantly in transit to and from M$ repair. Still trying to figure this one out. You can have ultra realistic graphics and seamless free online play... none of it does a thing when your hardware simply doesn't work, lol.

It's not moving, it's bumping.

When I first got a 360 I barely hit the table it was on while walking by and it put one scratch in the game. Just enough to cause NCAA to freeze every time a game finished and listed your achievements.

Totally understandable a console will jank your games if youre moving it vertical/horizontal while it's running.. but a slight bump? I didn't realize I needed to purchase the museum casing peripheral :(

And if you haven't gotten red rings yet, lucky.

The failure rate is something like 16.4% which is indeed unacceptable, but the FACT is that most 360 owners will never see this issue.

Ive had it twice.
