360 vs. PS3?

[flapjack]

Im surprised no one has started this topic yet, but let the fanboys have at it. remember that this should be civil. to let everyone know i own a ps3, wii, psp, and ds. many of my systems remain untouched as i have not had much time to play games. i want to hear why people would choose to play on one system vs. the other if they own both. and are there any suggestions to make both better?

I was going to post 360 specs next to ps3's, but I'm too lazy to find them...

Whatever, though the ps3 does have relatively better hardware the true reason people play games still remains, entertainment.  360 does have a higher amount of popular games that ps3 does not.
Also the online feature for the 360 utterly slaughters ps3's, even though sony made it free for their new ps3 slim.

Also since Sony is a load of faggots that released a battery in their products and then later recalled it for a slight defect (it exploded), after many people had already bought products with it. I, being one of these people, was told that I must buy their new battery or I void the warranty... What?!

Since the only bad thing Microsoft has done to this world is create a terrible DOS OS, pretend to care about us but really they're all greedy bastards, and not screw with me:
Xbox 360 > Playstation 3

only you would go and find the specs to the ps3 jubs. anyway the ps3 has always had a free online part, only the 360 has made it where you have to pay to get the best of everything. and although i would agree that xbl is probably better right now than the psn, i would give props to sony because they have made vast improvements to their network, sure it has taken some time but remember that xbl has been around since the original xbox, so of course it should be better.

there isnt any built in battery in the ps3, what you are thinking of was the laptop incident that happened a couple of years ago. and yes that was bad on sony's part, but that is a different division of sony, not related to the gaming section.

wait, now your talking about microsoft in general. yes they have created many horrible operating systems, but that does not have to deal with the 360. the main problem with the 360 is the "red rings of death" due to a poor design in the motherboard that melts when it gets too hot.

with the release of the ps3 slim, i now think sony is in prime position to make a major move against microsoft in the gaming world. sure it probably took to long for sony to realize some of the problems they have made, but at least they are trying.

half of your arguments are null and void, jubs and therefore you lose this debate! ^>^

I hate the consoles because I hate the companies that made them... Also, it was my friggin camera, I had to give Sony an extra $20!!! FOR A FRIGGIN CAMERA BATTERY?!?!?! AWEIGNOEQJFODMOWF

Listen... I hate you

[ShadeOfGrey]

I like PlayStation the most, I had it for many years since PSX. I don't like XBox, no offence.. don't like the controller so much.

[flapjack]

listen jubs, hate is a very strong word, when people get angry at each other we try and solve our differences, has sesame street taught you nothing?

and yes the ps3 is getting better and better each passing year

[ShadeOfGrey]

Keep the fights in PM.

[flapjack]

hmmm i really wasnt fighting, so i not sure what you're talking about.......
i was just telling him the power of hate, quite informative if i do say so myself

[ShadeOfGrey]

Well, since it looked "offensive"... But.. At least keep the flame out this thread. It's about 360vsPS3, not information on hate or whatsoever

[flapjack]

"offensive"? me? im the most sincerest soul here. how could i possibly want to cause distress to any fellow LA member? and yes lest get back to the game topic on hand........

[ShadeOfGrey]

not you -_-'...

[flapjack]

huh? then im confused......
