Ps3 Or Xbox 360?

b3n · 05-21-2005, 02:55 PM

personally if I had a better computer i'd choose the bottom one, but the xbox 360 sounds and looks sweet

I think nto suporting Xbox games on the 360 is retarted, I would not get it just for that. With a PS3 I can get PS1,2,and 3 games.

Hehe its ironic that we want backwards compatability but for something like windows we complain about flaws and bugginess (50% of which are because of their backwards compatabiily, 40% because of market demands for fashion before function and the last 10% for actual errors) hehe

the 360 can play xbox games
EDIT: just read another article and apparently only selected games will be backwards compatible, so im guessing halo and halo 2 will be, which is all that matters

The thing is the question 'What will you buy?' is often cut short by people just buying whatever comes out first or just buying something offhand with no knowledge. I would buy neither and simply upgrade my PC with an emulator for the games; But thats a bit Warezy.

Heres a quick little story:
Walked into my local Game Store.
Overheard staff conversation.
Yeh some guy rang up complaining that by accident he had bought a DVD player from us and it wouldn't play his Xbox games, i said we didn't sell them. He said he'd bought one that looked like a slim line silver DVD player. I said Yes its called the slim PS2.

My point being?
People buy whatever has got the games they want or they just buy ignorantly.

Nintendo = for children
Xbox = Multiplayer
PS2 = Creativity

Not saying that the formats don;t blend but thats how it stands.

i read somthing about the "CELL" chip and its being used in the PS3

damn some people are ignorant. ps3 2x faster than the xbox 360? my ass. plz do some research on the specs of the systems, then talk. First off, the PS3's cell proccessor CAN be faster than the xbox 360's 3 processors. But its extremely hard to code for. considering its wat... 11 sub cell proccessors? its a more inovative design, while the xbox 360 just went for 3 beefy CPUs. but thats just the processors. the main concern i have with the ps3 is its gpu board bandwith restriction. anyways, whoever can code the most efficiently for which system, will make that system the "fastest". these systems are so god damn powerfull, that i doubt game devs will even make anything that will have a speed difference between the 2 systems. anyways, the ps3 comes out like half a year after the xbox 360, so sony has alot of time to use new technologys and if they just stick to the current technology they have made for it so far, in half a year the price of those chips will go down significantly, allowing sony to sell their PS3's at a lower cost than the xbox 360 when it is released. now for the game selections thats another story. I think that showing of the xbox 360 microsoft did was completely horrid. they are trying to turn the god damn thing into a entertainment system. i am not spending 500 dollars for a god damn movie player, or a mp3 player, or a web surfing comp, i want that 500 dollars to be spent JUST ON A GAMING MACHINE. anyways, the systems are 1 year apart, so why not get both.

If i had to buy one of the consoles, i would choose the Xbox 360, but i won't get either of them, because my world revolves around computers!
