Ps3 Or Xbox 360?

bigsaucybob · 09-02-2005, 01:38 PM

i am a major fan of the xbox, i used to live online playing halo 2 but then i got my computer. The newest problem with the xbox 360 is that it only uses a basic dvd-rom drive. This means that developers will have to put there games on more than one cd, this also means that there will be much slower load times. I was watching a show and they mentioned this and i was quite dissapointed. I am starting to lean towards the PS3 just a little bit now.

ow,.. you mean those blu-ray disks they want to use in the ps3?
we'll dont thinkt they use it for improved performance or better games.
they only use for those discs is because no-one can copy/rip them at the moment.
(and i think it will stay that way for a while)

lol guess so. i tried to win an xbox360 but have yet to succeed. one of those bottle cap games is giving away an xbox 360 every 10 minutes. i must win!

i'd probably sell it when i won it...and use the cash for my PC.

the xbox 360 has 3 CPUs, will have the most advanced graphics card to date...and will cost around 400. while getting a top of the line cpu, ( which still wouldnt be able to match the xbox's processing power) , would cost me over 2k.. hmm... -_- and the best thing about consoles, u know the games made for it WILL RUN. theres no wondering if u are going to need more ram, or a better gfx card, etc.

When will people understand that nintendo is not a children system

I am getting a revolution personnaly, free online, you can download classic fist party games from NES SNES and N64

Now that nintendo is slowly recovering thier 3rd party support (capcom re4 for example) they will have your "mature sex games" that some of you guys seem to be obssesed with....

and it will also be the cheapest system to develop for, sony's blue rays cost a lot more....its might drive away 3rd party support, and then sony will not have any mario and samus and link and all those games that nintendo relyed on when they had barely any 3rd parties developing for the n64 (because cartridges were more expensive than cds and this made the ps1 more developer freindly) if sonly loses third party they have bairly any first party games and will die (not the company, just the console)

because oif blue ray, ps2 games will probably be more than the usually 50$

If i had to choose one though, i would go with xbox 360
