BeatONaCowboy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Which one are you going to get?

SUNSTONE Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm definitly getting the 360. And if PS3 gives me a reason to buy it, I'll get that as well. When xbox first went online, I played that thing nonstop! This year I have taken a huge break. So I'm definitly looking forward to getting some competition in on a much much much better system. The original xbox had a lot of little bugs. Not enough to kill the game, but they were a pain in the butt at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 PS3, better games, and it is going to be a lot more powerful then Xbox-360. It is basically going to humble the XBox 360 the way Xbox humbled PS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatONaCowboy Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sunstone,What do you think about the graphics for 360, do you think they are a huge improvement? I just don't think it's that much better, maybe I just am expecting too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Recon looks better than anything I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endzone_dave Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm going to wait it out and see which one has the better games. I don't have the money to buy both so I don't want to make the wrong choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupidsuck Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 PS3 looks like it won't come out till next fall, I think they pushed it back from the spring. Everything I've read has said that the PS3 will be more powerful than the 360 but you gotta wait almost another year for it. I'm gonna get the 360 and just trade it in towards the PS3 when that comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Showstopper Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 ps3 will be more powerful than 360 signifigantly, but wont really be noticeable til about a year or so after the systems release, just like the 360 will look much more better when ghost recon anbd gears of war are released....and it will be released next fall/winter to coincide with the holiday season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNSTONE Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I hope that PS3 is a better stronger machine. Because as a videogame fan, I'm always up for a better system. But, they have a history of lieing about the quality of their games and consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I played Call of Duty 2 for 360 at BestBuy the other day. It was awesome, but hard. The graphics and gameplay of 360 on the HDTV were more than enough for me, and it's got Halo, first release of Splinter Cell (not sure if that'll change for PS3 though), and there's no game exclusively for PS that I would give up Halo for. Not even close. Enough said. And I have no need for both until the prices are drastically reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 i really don't care about graphics and system power. i care about the games. i want fun games to play! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBnG21 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Where are you getting the stats that it will be significantly more power? I believe it has more processing power, but it's pretty much a wash as the Xbox has more powerful graphic processing. In any case though, with the design of the systems, from what I understand, it's going to be very difficult for programmers to fully utilize the power of the PS3. This is why I believe the Xbox will likely start to take over. Microsoft is awful good at getting everyone to jump onto their products and making it easy to do so from programming and usability purposes. (Though they do sacrifice on security and stuff) Plus, it will integrate with all their products. If they can begin to make it the more popular product, they'll get all the games, as the games will follow the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endzone_dave Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Has anyone heard how Grand Theft Auto will be handled for the new systems? That will be the deciding factor for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeApe Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 That's a deciding factor for me too. Last I heard they were undecided whether they were going to do the sony exclusive again. It sounded like they were leaning towards not doing that this time around. But who knows. Rockstar is in a great position to have two behemoths bargaining for exclusive rights on their system. If they do release for both at the same time, I'm leaning towards the XBox. I have several xbox games already including the older GTA's so I'd rather not switch to Sony. Here's an interview with Rockstars CEO about the future of GTA .... Q: You and Sony have had an exclusive arrangement with the Grand Theft Auto titles. Are we going to see a similar arrangement on the next generation of consoles?When we announced that -- back [on] Grand Theft Auto 3 -- Sony was a big, big factor in the business and was a great partner of ours. We have [since] brought that brand to the Xbox and the PC market. It's just a wait-and-see attitude that we take to the market. [We] study the market and see [whether] that exclusive nature is good for the company at that time or if it's something that we might not want to do. Q: So, the decision hasn't been made yet? We haven't announced anything yet. It's a good position to be in, because we have the world's biggest brand and we have the hardware companies asking us, and certainly they want that product on their system. We will be finalizing that decision as we study the mark Q: When will we see a version of Grand Theft Auto for the new consoles? We haven't announced anything further. We're still enjoying sales of San Andreas. http://www.gaming-age.com/news/2005/5/27-117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Graphically, I expect the PS3 to be slightly better. I've always preferred the Xbox over the PS2 for sports games and for online play. And I love this new 360 controller. I'll definitely be getting the 360 because I expect it to have the best online play of the two systems. I'll probably end up getting the PS3 as well if they have a game that makes me want to get it. Since Xbox 360 will likely have better online play, all the same sports games, and Halo 3, it seems like the system to get to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I read the specs of both, andd it definitely looks like the PS3 will be much more powerful. That's why they decided to wait to release it. They wanted to perfect it. Also, last I read it wasn't definite Xbox games were going to be compatible with the 360. They may have changed that. Where PS3 will be able to play all 3 formats. Not to mention, you are putting two other technologies against each other, and thats for the High-Def DVDs. There is going to be another format war...like the VHS vs Beta. And if history has taught us anything, Sony wins this war...again. The PS3 will have more memory, and greater processor speed. As for the online gaming, I think PS3 will be increasing that. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Has anyone heard how Grand Theft Auto will be handled for the new systems? That will be the deciding factor for me. Totally. I'm really underwhelmed by the new Madden, though. Seems like a demo to me. I'm going to give both systems a year or so before I make a purchase that big. Currently, I'm perfectly content with my XBox because of the games... Madden, GTA SA, and I'll be picking up NBA Live 06 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have the same amount of memory from the specs I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerrrman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm surprised nobody's interested in the new Nintendo system that's coming out. (Revolution I think it's called?) I guess Nintendo is pretty much going down the same path as Sega. But anyhoo, make mine PS3, mainly because I've been faithful to Sony since PSOne. Also I'm a huge fan of the Metal Gear series. And the backwards compatibility feature for both PSOne and PS2 games is a convenient plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I thought Sony was VHS...oops my mistake...they won the other ones tho =). and specs weren't the same from what I remember. In fact I read a couple articles (don't remember trhe names) that had PS3 as being more cutting edge and powerful, but it was at a disadvantage for coming out later.

Chopper Dave Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm getting 360 first. Then, I'm going to try to get a PS3. I might have to sell a kidney on the black market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
