Cameron Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Random topic, I know. Topic pretty much says it all, and this is purely for my own curiosity...Xbox or PS3? Why one over the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 PS3 solely because it has Gran Turismo 5. Sadly I'm still stuck with a PS2 and GT4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kallinen Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Games for either are way to expensive, I prefer my PC for all my gaming needs now that I have 42" 1080p monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TheoGregory Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 PS3 is a better console and its graphics are slightly better.Xbox has better games on the whole. (Forza 4 kills GT5 so don't even try that arguement on me!)Xbox is a lot cheaper.Xbox has a better sized controller for most hands.I went Xbox because of these points but might go for a PS4, next generation.

Airbus Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Lol PS3 and Xbox! I hate the XBOX just love Forza! I refuse to use the XBoxLive online features; not to mention Ive been through 2 XBoxes(death ring and melted possessors.)!I love my PS3 though.

MaidenFan Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have an XBOX and play Modern Warfare 3, which is a blast! Honestly, the type of TV you are playing on is the most important thing when talking about graphics, as both consoles are HD anyway. If you have an awesome TV, both will look outstanding, vice versa. For online play, go with the XBOX. It costs a little money, but it's worth it. And I'd have to agree with Theo on the controller, much more comfortable.From personal experience, people who switched from PS3 to XBOX have been glad they did.But, the PS3 can do blue-ray, so keep that in mind if you don't already have that..

Simmo W Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Cam I've had a ps3 from day 1, it's served us well. Ok Sony have lost the plot (HOME is lame, and so is their data security), but their choicest games like GT5 and others make it worth the hassle. But xboxes are getting so cheap, I might one day pick one up just for Forza 4.Big bonus of ps is the high def video recording, pretty good browser, blu ray and in Oz, some cool video streaming features.If youre just after some quick gaming, nothing else, the Xbox is very cheap now.

Kaphias Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Speaking of games, u got an iPhone 4s right? Have u seen Real Racing 2 on it? Incredible, ps2.5 quality.Yeah it looks good, but has terrible physics. I'll open it occasionally if I'm away from my wheel setup (get one if you don't have one, seriously) for a while, just for a racing fix haha. The best racing game (or sim, if you like) that I've used so far is (oh god) Nascar Racing 2003 Season. Yes, Nascar, and yes, it's from 2003. I don't know if any of you have heard of iRacing, but that is based on the same physics. It's a bunch of fun to try and muscle a 1.5 ton car with 800 horsepower around a road course, even more so when you turn all the driving aids off.

FlorianR Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Xbox, just because the controllers fit a lot better into your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo W Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Wii??? {RUNS AND HIDES}Funny! Even funnier if u said 3DS.I loved my N64, even the console looked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RojanTrojan Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Just bought the latest Zelda for the Wii. Now, the wife and I fight for the right to use the TV. Loved the N64, way ahead of its time that console. I had many sleepless nights playing Mario Kart 64! I'm currently on my 3rd xbox 360 console due to red rings of death issues, but the current console 250gb model is in a totally different league to the initial 360. Much quieter, much better looking... Bit like me in my old age....Joke....I'm not that old! Edited November 25, 2011 by RojanTrojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karingka Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 PS3 definetly. I hate Wii. Just awful, I think. Reasons:1. Free online!2. Better Graphics3. I like the controllers better4. I had mine for 4 years, no issues.Bad things:1. Expensive when I bought it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliance_Airways Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 defiantly playstation! you don't have to pay for your only, the graphics are better IMO, built in blu ray player, and way more reliable. I've had mine since the first week they came out and have put some serious hours on it and have yet to come across an issue (knock on wood), while many of my friends XBOX's have failed and they've had to purchase new ones. No doubt the PS3 wins here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
