To bad the Xbox is a pretty worthless console that has already had too much flaws. Plus it's from Microsoft, which just means that there will be problems.

Not saying the PS3 is perfect, but it is way better... On somewhat all parts.
+that is has games like R&C, LBP, Wipeout, Motorstorm (which I still want), Resistance: Fall of Man (awesome game) and on Portal 2, cross platform gaming and chatting using Steam.

What flaws?

Flaws I know;
Expensive online
~~RROD~~ (Fixed)

Xbox has more exclusives as well.

Xbox has more exclusives as well.

Overheating (Remember seeing someone preparing a steak on that thing. Now that's something you can't do with the PS3... Or the Wii.)
Restrictive software (Also the reason why the Xbox did not get Steam. It just wasn't possible because of the software)
What you already know, you need to PAY for online service. What the hell. Nintendo and Sony keep that FREE because it's supposed to be free.

As for exclusives... Most of them have already been brought to PC and some also to the PS3. Plus that I am generally not a fan of things being made exclusive for just one or two devices.
Also, I really hope you are NOT going to count Total Miner as an Xbox exclusive as it is a clear rip-off of Minecraft. Really something you can't be proud of.

There the same console IMO, there's very little difference between the two, exclusives aside.

One thing that always makes me laugh is when people say that you have to PAY for xbox live. With the ps3, you're just paying it up front really, considering the huge price difference (although I dunno if the price gap has shrunk, i haven't followed these kind of things for a while now).

I don't have a ps3, I have an xbox 360 (it was either my christmas or birthday present back in 2005) and surprisingly enough it hasn't killed itself yet.
The wii isn't really a games console anymore though

powerrave · « **Reply #15504 on:** August 11, 2011, 06:13:51 AM »

It's mainly a hardware and software difference. Though you won't notice that much difference with power of hardware, it's the speed of the PS3 that does make a great difference.

Also, you can say that about the price, but also keep in mind that the PS3 has some more expensive stuff in there. The processor is one that does something to the price, but especially the Blu-ray player in there. Decent Blu-ray players don't come in cheap.

And Scorp, that really is surprising. What universe did it come from?
And I have to admit that I don't care much about my Wii these days. I prefer my PS3 here... also because I don't have to go downstairs to use it, it's just here next to my HD screen.

Prices are on Par down in australia.. it comes to preference

BlueRay players themselves are more expensive then PS3's too :P

Also I just found out the list of discarded titles that were nearly used for the next Ratchet and Clank game "All 4 One"

4play, Multiple Organisms, Fiends with Benefits and Bros b4 Foes

:O they so should have used one of them instead.. R&C always had lolsy titles..

Well done to your soccer team yesterday Joe.

Anyway, Xbox has better exclusives like Halo, Gears of Wars, Fable, Forza, The First Mass Effect, PGR and more. The only good PS3 exclusives are Uncharted and GT. Killzone sucks IMO.

I suppose that's pretty accurate.

Seen some of the game. Really one I want to try.

Wii's a family console really, Xbox is a bit of both with Kinect and all that, and PS3 and PC are a bit more hardcore. PS3 Move sucks, and the PC games aren't amazingly family friendly.

powerrave · « **Reply #15510 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:08:57 AM »

Can't say much about PS3 Move as I have yet to see it. Friend of mine is pretty happy with it though.
As for PC games... Not that easy to share controls when just using a keyboard and mouse. And PC pretty much has a very wide range of games to do. There is quite the difference between Roller Coaster Tycoon and Manhunt, just to name two titles.

I can't wait for whatever funny stuff that game will bring anyway.

Meh, the ps3 MAYBE looks slightly prettier graphically? I dunno, besides, at this point in time, who really cares about slightly prettier visuals? The difference between modern consoles graphically are so small, i'd much prefer it if they spent the money they do on the graphics side of things on other things.

And my xbox is special

I just checked, and it must've been a christmas present, as the 360 was released in the u.k on my birthday, either that or it's REALLY special...

powerrave · « **Reply #15514 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:27:17 AM »

It's a PS3 in disguise... Or was heavily modified.

Also! Who here is already planning on getting a PS Vita? I know I am.

Badger · « **Reply #15515 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:42:34 AM »

What is PS vita? Isn't it a copy of the Wii U?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #15516 on:** August 11, 2011, 07:44:25 AM »

its the successor to the PSP..

I have never brought a handheld console.. probably wont bother with this one either..

No... Since handhelds and consoles are not the same.
And I don't know what to think of the Wii U. Oversized controller.

On handhelds I've always been with Nintendo but these days, I'm not too sure. Nintendo is getting more disappointing over time... And I can't say that the 3DS is THAT great. Sony is more promising for me on this part.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #15518 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:05:56 AM »

I no longer care for gaming consoles. I have a 3DS and it gets me on the Internet. That's pretty much all I use it for

JoeBlo · « **Reply #15519 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:20:34 AM »

Same could be said about my phone.. :P

May as well call it my Mobile Internet not Mobile Phone..
