Should I trade in my Xbox 360 for a PS3?

[quote name='manthing']

Why would I buy a dozen games in under 6 weeks if I hated the PSN?

[/quote]I lol'd at this. Buying games should have no relevance to your like or dislike of the PSN.
 
[quote name='lolwut?']Do they make a third party controller that doesn't have the analog sticks placed in an akward, retarded position right next to each other? If so, please link me.[/quote]

You are probably right. There aren't any PS3 controllers that I know of that have a different placement of the analog sticks, but that is your own preference, so I cannot disagree with you there.
[quote name='lolwut?']
And generally speaking, the multiplatform titles have been better on the 360 in terms of looks and fluidity. Granted, the PS3 has since "caught up," but I doubt I will ever pick up a multiplatform on the PS3 unless there is a large difference in price.

Achievements are a plus as well[/quote]Imo, if the PS3 game happens to be $3 cheaper than the 360 version, then I would just pick up the PS3 version, unless the PS3 had terrible framerate issues. For the vast majority of muliplats, they look the same, if not, there is an exception with the 360 version that has very slightly sharper textures which is not worth the extra price imo; you never even notice the difference during gameplay.

As well you should have.

I meant to type PS3.
 
Sigh... people, you're missing the point. In this particular case, the OP is better off with the trade, because he didn't have a big investment in the Xbox 360.

As to pros and cons of the Xbox and PS3, we can debate them forever... Well, until the thread is closed. Everybody has different needs and tastes, so it doesn't really matter.

I, for one, always agree with hardware reliability as #1. Regardless how big your game library is, w/o the console, you just can play them, can you? I know the Xbox got replacement programs, free and free. But so? The term is, INCONVENIENCE.

For #2, best value for your bucks. I hate to say this, but the Xbox failed again in this category. No WiFi is pissy enough and there's a MS adaptor for $60-$100? Crazy! Upgrading HDD, damn... 120gb for how much? You're fucking nuts! Don't tell me the crap about managing the HDD wisely and you should never have to worry about space.

Game library is not relevant for me... Put it this way, at a buffet table, how much can you muster a time w/o missing the enjoyments? The only thing one should look is what the other buffet table is offering (not how much food, but what interests really you)...

Lastly, the whole debate over BD is pointless and PSN sucks need to stop. It's so yesterday... One can reasonbly argue PSN vs XBL, since those two are separate entities and vital for the on-line gaming communities. It's really your call, free vs. $30-$60 a year. Personally, i take Free anyday... with $30, i can buy some PSN games (more with game sharing). Like i said, if i want to play on-line on XBL, i use the 48 hours cards (why pay the times you're not using).
 
lol @ this kid bringing the topic back up.

I have to say, I've been surprised lately by the PS3 exclusives. Uncharted is fucking class. It's working it's way up there next to Bioshock and RE4 as I make my way through it. Resistence is ass so far, here's to hoping 2 is better.

I am actually looking forward to Killzone 2, and the little bit of Genji I played wasn't bad. Metal Gear Soild 4 is a very nicely animated movie, and Gran Turismo 5 is gorgeous.

OP, what did you end up doing?
 
OP, Sounds like the only 360 exclusive games you invested in are GoW2 and PGR3. I'd say that KZ2 and the next Gran Turismo will offer very solid experiences for PS3 owners to compete. I feel that the PS3 has really begun to emerge as a gaming system in 2008 after earning a reputation as a media unit early in it's life and there is more to come. EVERY system will have killer exclusives (My Wii will collect dust until some worthwhile first party games come out again) and no they won't be the same, but they will be damn good in their own right. Forget what each system owner tells you.. the PS3 has more monetary value than the 360 and will remain a strong competitor against the 360 with some fine retail and downloadable titles coming up. If you have a severe case of cognitive dissonance, then the 360 will be cheap and easy to replace a little bit down the road
 
It's true that Live works better in many respects than PSN, but that said, I got real tired of getting cursed out by homophobic racist 10 year olds playing Gears of War or Halo, or getting called noob the first time I jumped into online multiplayer of well, any game on Xbox Live.

There are certainly still some asshats on PSN, but at least they tend to be more grownups and mostly they are civil. If you prefer playing with kids, stick with Live, where there's more company to be had, even if it's mostly of the curse-you-out-for-being-a-gay-minority-noob variety.
 
[quote name='manthing']That's because the PSN isn't worth shit.

I've never had a problem playing online with my PS3 using the Wi-Fi connection. But downloading demos, updates, patches, anything from Sony/PSN is awful.[/quote]

Sounds like the Wi-Fi is causing that. Honestly I've played on both enough to say it is almost the same. The only thing it comes down to is what you like better. PS3 doesn't have half as many features, and I'll admit I think Xbox Live is set up better. I can join people on xbl easier than I can on psn, and it seems to work better,but I hate how some people are on live compared to psn. The ps3 didn't come with a mic, and that is a god sent. I'm not saying I mind to hear people,but I hate when someone is a dick for no reason, and that happens alot on live. I don't play online that much. I use to be a hardcore gamer now I am more of a casual gamer. I don't have a direct answer for you op. I like the ps3/360 about the same,but honestly I think you would be happier with the 360.
 
Eh, value-wise, I don't really think you'll that ahead if you trade that ps3 from the 360, since we are talking about the 40gb model (which, to tell you the truth, isn't really that valuable), unless your bro-in-law is offering some games or something to even out the trade.

If it was a BC ps3, I wouldn't hesitate whatsoever. But, if I'm going with a non BC ps3, I'd atleast go with the newer 80gb model, having the newest motherboard revision.

EDIT: Actually, I'd even say that an original 20gb PS3 model will be an even trade with a 20gb Xbox 360... but see below.

NOTE: As in all trades and barters, values are highly subjective, so use your own judgement.
 
I personally like the PS3 more, but just compare exclusives. If the exclusives on one system outweigh the exclusives on the other, get that. The multiplatform games will be identical.
 
Are they going to stop treating the PlayStation Classics like a bitch any time soon? I'd be more excited for a Ps3 if the catalog were, you know, updated worth a damn.
 
[quote name='silent h3ro']Resistance is definitely one of the worst PlayStation franchises this generation.[/quote]

Glad I didn't buy 2 when the deals were rolling around then. The multiplayer beta seemed like it wanted to be Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, and Call of Duty all at the same time.

Almost forgot, Lair is horrible (and the update was supposed to have made it better?), The Show is great if you like baseball, and although I haven't gotten to Ratchet and Clank yet, the demo was enough to make me hunt it down. I enjoyed the first one way back in the heyday of the PS2, so we'll see.

I've been trying to get LittleBigPlanet for cheap, but I've missed the $30 deals that recently popped up :cry:
 
[quote name='jman619'] PS3 doesn't have half as many features, and I'll admit I think Xbox Live is set up better.[/quote]
Could you please tell me what features your speaking of? Outside of live which really isnt a feature because you need to pay for it, I cant really find anything my Xbox does better than my PS3 without paying extra in some manner.
 
If you're not worried about missing out on the games coming out for the 360, you should definitely trade it. If you were to try to sell it, you wouldn't get much for it, however it is pretty cheap to buy. You always could trade yours now, get a PS3, and buy another 360 down the line.
 
Downlowding demos/movies/games/ and other stuff they are about the same. As for actual game updates though their is a huge diffrence. I've never had a game update on my 360 take more than a couple minutes, while the recent Socom update took almost an hour. That aside I'm hugely happy with my ps3.


To the OP if I were you, I would make the trade simply because your 360 WILL red ring, it is not a question of if it will. In not to long the RROD waranty will be over, and then when it fails you will be screwed. All 360's fail eventualy, even the Elites have been known to do it. The 360 suffers from crappy construction, and evreything Microsoft has done to fix it is only temp. I had my 360 for 3 years before it decided to die on me, so I thought I was lucky and got one of the good ones, but one day I went to turn it on and had 3 red lights blinking in my face.

totally agree... PS3's updates are slow as hell, i don't understand why, but i never have to wait an hour though (like 20 minutes, the Xbox don't have to wait this long, pretty much within minutes).

The Red Ring? Forgetaboutit... Major turn off for me and i was naive to think it won't happen to me, b/c i got the newly produced Xbox with Team#xxx model#yyy blah blah blah. I never got to finish BioShock b/c of it. It died on me and when i got the box back a month later, i kinda lost interest in the story (hell, i loaded the last save and just couldn't pick up the pace).

As for DL games/demos/medias, there are pros and cons... The biggest advantage that PS3 has over Xbox 360 is that upgrading hdd is easy and inexpensive. That was the selling point for me. I ditched the 40gb hdd and upgraded to 320gb for $80, take that Xbox!

Oh, as to DL demos from XBL, did you know that Gold members get to DL first? Silver (free) members have to wait a week or two... This pisses me off to no end. Now a day, they should be paying me to DL demos. I don't understand why MS even bother to put up that kind of demo restriction, it's pathethic. Yeah, the Xbox royalists argue that it keeps the bandwidth clean for the paying members. Give me a break, we know that's not true. The way how demos work is that, they want to grab your attention, to impress you, so that you'll remember to pre-order the game. It's a promotion in another word. Not to be confused with Beta though. Beta is more like a hyped version of demo really. But yeah, i can understand paying members get Beta etc...

When was Dark Cloud 3 announced? Only game that would make me think about getting a PS3 would be DC3 and a new Sly Cooper game(GIVE ME A NEW SLY COOPER DAMNIT!)
 
[quote name='kurokubushi']I dient know about it either, thats just waht the list said. It's probally just rumors at the moment.[/QUOTE]

Not a good list to quote if it includes rumors then.
 
[quote name='Serpentor']and i thought that all PS3 games starting 2009 are required to have trophies... So what's up with the YES/NO part?[/quote]It's most likely an old list. I see Resistance 2 is on it too.

Btw, I hope they don't fuck up Driver again if that "rumor" is true. I loved it when it started on the PS1. Then again I only owned a few PS1 games. Parallel Lines wasn't too bad though.

And what the fuck is up with this no trophy business?
 
[quote name='Filler2001']PS3>Wii>Cockbox360[/QUOTE]

Your screen name really fits your console taste. Systems with nothing but filler titles not quality.
 
HAHAHAHAH UR SO FUNNEE IM ROTFLMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA no...

How can the 360 produce quality games when it takes over 3 years to get a machine working (Thats only shelf time too). And filler games? When was R&C, MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone 2, Resistance, Resistance 2, LBP and countless others considered filler? Hell, Uncharted 2 and GOW3 hasnt even came out yet. Have you seen the screens? It looks like a fucking painting come to life (GOW3). Also, Halo 3 is a sad excuse of a game (as well as both Gears of War)
 
Your going to end up getting a 360 again or at least wanting one. PS3 would be cool to have but if you do play a good amount of games 360 is the system. PS3 seems to work well with people who really don't have time/feel like playing a good number of games.

I don't get the red ringing thing making people not want there 360 anymore, it is absolute crap they die but the replacements they send out are free and usually pretty good, and if you seriously can't live without a game system for two weeks....seriously, c'mon. I'm not saying it's okay for them to die occasionaly but it's really no skin off your back vs most electronics breaking down.

Each system has its pros and its cons and its not just my opinion but the opinion of pretty much everyone in the industry that the 360 has a high malfunction rate while the PS3 is lacking in games. Yes the system has Uncharted and R&C and yatta yatta yatta. It has good games, but it doesnt even hold a candle to the 360(same goes for the Wii). If you preffer the PS3 thats cool, and if you dont want a 360 because of malfunction rates I could understand. But saying that the PS3s library is better is just a joke...and saying stuff like Halo 3 and both gears suck just shows you to be a fanboy, moron, someone that hasnt played those games or all 3.
 
This is geared towards the guy who made the comment about Xbox Live. I forgot to check of the quote box. Obviously you are a PS3 fanboy. For starters, I own every system, so I am a "gamer" not a fanboy. But to say that the Xbox Live Experience is nothing but a bunch of bells and whistles is down right ludacrious. There is a reason why the PSN is free! You get what you pay for. You pay for nothing, you get nothing. Now, I am in agreement with you when you say the system is a far superior system than the 360. I truly believe that as well. But tell me this, why are most of their games only capable of 720p. The PS3 is a more reliable system in terms of durability and dependability, as was the Original Xbox, when the PS2 had a higher failure rate. The roles have been reversed this generation, with the Xbox 360 being a less superior system, yet being ahead of the PS3 in terms of success by leaps and bounds. While the PS3 on the other hand is the far superior system, yet underperforming in terms of sales.

Should you be able to afford them both, I would say keep your 360 and pick up a PS3. Each system has something to offer that the other does not. Example: If God of War III was the only game coming out on the PS3, I would have a PS3 just to play that game. Call me a fool, but I would do it and watch Blu-rays with it. With that being said, it is all about the games. That is the reason for me owning every system. That is how you can tell the difference between the "fanboys" and "gamers". "Gamers" care about games and a great gaming experience. They could care less what the masses think about a title, as long as it is fulfilling to them. "Fanboys" on the other hand are loyalists and only care for a particular system. Doing so results in missing out on some of the best games out because of being close-minded. A game could be undeniably awesome, but they will make negative comments across the board about it if it does not appear on their system of choice. I am as passionate about Gears of War, Halo, and any other 360 game as I am about Resistance, MGS4, and God of War. Hence the term "Gamer" not "Systemer". Lol.

Why am I a fanboy? Because I accept things as they are? Fine by me, last gen I was called a Sony fanboy for acknowledging the fact that the PS2 was clearly receiving the most good games but at the same time called a Sony hater for pointing out early in the gen that their hardware malfunction rate was high. This gen is no different idiots tend to think I am a fanboy because they see me accept the facts that the 360 is indeed on top(though losing ground)yet ignore me saying the 360s hardware malfunction rate is higher then it should be(something no fanboy would ever say). So again kudos takes talent to make such a stupid rash statement based on me not saying something that lines up with your own feelings.

well put!! i own all 3 systems to and the ps3 is primarily a bluray player besides the occasional ps3 exclusive!!
 
@Magus - Hah I don't buy a console because it has the most games, I buy the console that has the exclusives that I like, which is why I own a 360 and a PS3. You said that the PS3 has no good games. Fine? That's your opinion. You just came off a little biased being so negative about the PS3. I wouldn't call the 360 the supreme console because it has more games. Quality is always better than quantity.

Kickass avatar mang ;)

Also, I love how I just dissed the 360 with less effort used than a 9 year old person on GameFAQs, and everyone goes after MSI. Thanks for unintentionally sticking up for me to Naes. Ill throw a free bump to your TL`

Its not about the most games its about the most GOOD games. And the system that has the most good games may or not have the most games you like(unless it is the PS2 which was just a godly beast and you would be insane if you couldnt find more stuff on it)but the chances are higher of you finding games you like since there are more quality games. The 360 may not dominate like the PS3 but it does stuff have a clear lead largly due to its B list games like Culdcept, Tales of Vesperia and Culdcept which get overlooked.

Also no I didnt say that the Ps3 had no good games and if I did it was sarcasm. The PS3 simply does not have as many which is a BIG difference. The PS3 has some mainstream hits like MGS but also some great smaller stuff is starting to hit the system such as Disgaea and Pixeljunks stuff.

I am not saying the PS3 is worthless or anything like that, just that it doesnt have as many great games as the 360 yet...there is a clear cut difference and when you look at the boards, read magazines and listen to podcasts you see this is a very general consesus in the industry. So again the PS3 does have good games(I have almost bought a PS3 for R&C alone!)it just doesnt have as many as the 360. This was only even brought up because of filler acting like such a damned fanboy.

This is your opinion, not fact. There are people, believe it or not, that like PS exclusives more than 360 exclusives.

[quote name='MSI Magus'] just that it doesnt have as many great games as the 360 yet[/quote]Once again your biased opinion that you are passing off as fact. I disagree that the 360 has more great games than the PS3, but that is because I like PlayStation exclusives in general, more so than 360 exclusives, imo. See what I did there? In my opinion.

I respect your opinion, but you don't have to say it like it's the god given truth.
 
So first you contradict yourself then blame your acting like a dumbass on me? Well, sir, I do not go back on anything I said (unlike someone). Also, 2 things that seemed to bug me. 1) You pull your "facts" of general consensus out of your ass with no research and 2) when did the general consensus (which is again, bullshit) represent what I or any other CAG believe? And Im not a PS3 fanboy, Im just anti 360. I believe the Wii is a great system even though it is slowing down because of the large focus to a casual market. And you tell me Im a moron and have never touched these three games because I think they suck and you think thats utter blasphemy?

Heres some advice: don't talk....ever. Im not trying to be a dick when I say this, but you speaking only makes you look like a dumbass, and not talking only benefits you. Good day.

EDIT: I am tracking down a CD-i this moment, but they are rather pricey for a games-playing-machine
 
[quote name='Filler2001']HAHAHAHAH UR SO FUNNEE IM ROTFLMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA no...

How can the 360 produce quality games when it takes over 3 years to get a machine working (Thats only shelf time too). And filler games? When was R&C, MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone 2, Resistance, Resistance 2, LBP and countless others considered filler? Hell, Uncharted 2 and GOW3 hasnt even came out yet. Have you seen the screens? It looks like a fucking painting come to life (GOW3). Also, Halo 3 is a sad excuse of a game (as well as both Gears of War)[/quote]

You and Magus both fail.

I'd say the 360 has an edge, but to say the PS3 doesn't hold a candle shows that YOU haven't played the games on the PS3.

And from what I've seen, God of War looks good if you're looking at Kratos. They spent the poly count on him and forgot about the enemies. I'm not worried though, they have plenty of time to work on it.

P.S. Gears of War is EPIC, just like the company that makes it

EDIT: Haha, more has been posted since I wrote this. Magus, just stop talking.

You mean there is a porn stash that I wasn't informed of?
