ACW Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm maybe getting 1 (or both?), and I don't know which. It basically comes down to this: 360 FACTORS -Dead Rising -Ninja Gaiden 2 PS3 FACTORS -Many PS2 games I want so backwards compatibility -BUT no PS3 exclusives I really want HMM...:idea: Get the PS2, and then later on get a 360 w/ Blu-Ray. BTW, my types of games are mindless action games. So, your advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 ps3. Free online play. I still haven't been able to figure out what's so great about xbox live that you need to pay 15 bucks a month for. Big Ps3 exclusive will be Metal Gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't been able to figure out what's so great about xbox live that you need to pay 15 bucks a month for.Big Ps3 exclusive will be Metal Gear it's 4 bucks a month. i know i'd gladly pay that to nintendo if they actually had good online features. to the op: just pick one. but if you're getting 2 systems, it'd be foolish to get the ps3 and the 360. outisde of blu-ray or no blu-ray and a couple exclusive titles, you're buying 2 systems that are very much alike. take some good advice, and get a wii if you're getting 2 systems.

Disco Dave Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I feel that you'll be quite satisfied with a PS3. I'm sure you'll like whatever system you end up choosing. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well since the 360 is switching to blu ray, ps3 is the only choice in the short term. Everyone with a current 360 is basically an expired system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - Micro$oft is still denying implementing a blu ray player in the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneBoost Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Skinfan I'm guessing you are referring to me. Let me explain. I got my 360 last year around the end of February, I played it a lot in the beginning, maybe 2-3 hours for the first 4 months. After that I started going to school etc and didn't really have time for it, maybe played it an hour a day if that, usually only 30min or less. This past March, March 11th to be exact my 360 died on me, turned it on, played some Madden, screen looked like a checker board, some were black with snow flakes, the other were clear with red dots, I turned it off, waited about 10 min, turned it back on, called them up and told them what had happened. They first tried to dick me by saying my warranty was up, yet when I asked how that was possible when they extended the regular warranty by 3 years they responded with, "oh yes, your system does fall under that category." Now I do understand it's a business and they're in it to make money, but it still pissed me off. I was told 3-5 business days for the box to come. Well I waited a week, no show, waited another, and just to be nice I waited one more. Nothing ever showed so I called them up, told them what had happened, they apologized and said they canceled the order and were sending me a new one box. No problem, about 3 days the box came, packaged it all up, sent it out to them, and about a week and a half later got the 360 back (this was around the beginning to middle of April). I got the 360 back, plugged it all up, and bam it worked. I played the 360 about 30min a day if that considering I had finals coming up and all. Well, about the beginning of May I noticed when I would play, the screen would go black, turn back on, and the graphics would be a bit smudged and pixelated. Naturally I thought it was the screen, so I plugged it into another TV, same issue, used a friends cables, and same thing. So I called them up, told the lady what had happened, who I may add was probably the most idiotic person I have ever talked to. I told her just what I said above, the game will work for about 10min, the screen would then go black for about 2-3 seconds as if it were reseting itself, and then the graphics of the game would be smudged and pixelated. She decided that my screen was going black and staying black, not doing what I was saying. I eventually got it across her head what was going on thank god, and she told me she would send me a box. Well, another 2 weeks went by and guess what, NO BOX! However the game seemed to have fixed itself so I really didn't worry. Till last week the Xbox decided to die on me again. Not even a full month after I got it back from them it died. So I called up again, told them I received no box, the 360 died again, and am now awaiting for the box to send off for repair. Now I'm not stupid, my 360 sits in an open area, nothing on it or even remotely close to it considering I know it needs to breathe, but for some reason it continues to die, so I'm hoping they send me a new 360 so I can sell it and purchase a PS3.

skinfan2k Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Na, just refering to people in general. I hear my friends complain and they leave their box on from 9am-5pm sometimes and sometimes between classes and then they complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneBoost Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I can understand the whole leaving it on all day deal, but I barely play mine and it dies, makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
