Well, I Have Made A Decision (No Console Wars Please)

[WillWinnie]

A while ago, I sold my Playstation 3 for personal reasons and soon after decided to get an Xbox 360. For a while there I was enjoying having a Xbox 360, playing the exclusives, earning achievements and chatting to friends via the party system, but last night I came to realize, I'm just not an Xbox guy, I'm a Playstation guy.

So I have decided to write out a list of why.

Xbox 360

- Good Console
- Exclusive DLC
- Updates Constantly
- Party System
- Avatar Creation

Exclusive Games That I Like For Xbox 360

- Left 4 Dead
- Condemned: Criminal Origins
- Fable II

Playstation 3

- Good Console
- Free Online
- Actual Money Based Purchasing System
- Playstation Home
- Blu Ray Player
- In my opinion, sharper graphics

Exclusives That I Like For Playstation 3

- Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
- Heavenly Sword
- Killzone 2
- Resistance: Fall Of Man
- Resistance 2
- Folklore

Plus upcoming titles such as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, God of War III and MAG.

So all in all, I have made the switch back to Playstation 3 my fellow Rock Band Forum goers. I just prefer the PS3, not to say the Xbox 360 isn't a quality system as well and when it comes down to it, the console with more games the player likes will win.

Anyone who has me on their friends list on the Xbox 360 can delete me, and anyone who used to know me by BillLauren on here and on the Playstation 3 can expect a friend invite shortly.

Take care all, and no console wars please, we are all grown ups here.

Someone liked Heavenly Sword. :confused:

[SonicRocker15X]

BLAH BLAH BLAH CONSOLE WARS 360 IS BETTER NOOB BLAH BLAH BLAH
/sarcasm

But seriously, it's your choice. Enjoy your console of choice.

[WillWinnie]

I thought Heavenly Sword was great, albeit a bit on the short side.

[rowtheboat]

Two timer?

[Mystlyfe77]

Someone liked Heavenly Sword. :confused:

I enjoyed it for the all of like 6 hours it took me to beat it.

[afterstasis]

in other news i had potato soup for lunch because the vietnamese place was closed.

[Alright_Computer]

The OT has no relevance to me, so I'll change it. I know I'm not the only one that wishes LittleBigPlanet was on Xbox. I hate having to go over to my friends' places to play it. That's basically all I do at their houses, too. I love mooching off of my friends.

[CCDaDon]

Someone liked Heavenly Sword. :confused:

HS was a GREAT game minus its short story.

Glad to see you coming back to the dark side billy boy. [face_mischief]

By the way... why can't you just keep both?

[Cpt. Overkill]

Why not play both? :confused:

[Mystlyfe77]

HS was a GREAT game minus its short story.


I wouldn't go as far as saying 'great'

[swet07]

i like both

[Cpt. Overkill]

i like both

This.

I mainly game on my 360, but I play my PS3 a lot too.

[CCDaDon]

I wouldn't go as far as saying 'great'

Great combat system good graphics and it was a launch title. I would say its in the "Great" range

that is exactly why i'm a ps3 guy, too...

360 has awesome exclusives, but the ps3 is just more playable to me..

[WillWinnie]

I can't keep both because I won't have enough for the Playstation 3 unless I sell the Xbox 360. Both are great consoles, I just prefer the Playstation 3.

[AKALink]

Get a Gamecube noob!

*cough360cough*

Did you know that a playstation 3 on standby mode consumes 100s of dollars of energy a year.

[Transbrak]

Constantly switching back and forth is going to lose you alot of money.

Keep both and enjoy, you obviously liked the 360 enough to sell your PS3 so that should tell you something.

[HeyRiles]

I'm glad I'm not a victim of expensive indecision

[Podruvan360]

I don't wish to argue, but as someone who used to own a PS3 I have to say that I prefer the Xbox 360. Mostly because it has more support from developers, but also some smaller things.

• Downloads and updates took way longer than the 360 on the same network.
• The controller is less comfortable.
• Troubleshooting and configuring settings on the PS3 is much more time-consuming than on the 360. A lot of these settings are things the 360 detects automatically (optical/rca, wired/wireless, etc...).

It really comes down to opinion, but I personally have a better experience with the Xbox 360. I really like LittleBigPlanet and Folklore, though.

[kiggidykev]

Someone liked Heavenly Sword. :confused:

Haha that's what stood out to me, too

Enjoy the PS3, Bill :)

[OrdealByFire]

Ich liebe die Xbox 360.

[defenestrater]

I used both until my 360 up and died on me. If I had to lose one of them I'm glad it was the 360. I prefer the ps3 but I liked enough of the 360 exclusive titles to justify owning one. They're both great systems though.

[Zidane]

Someone liked Heavenly Sword. :confused:

I thought it was called Goddess of War... And what's Folklore?

[Renrock]

C'mon Bill , just tell them the real reason.


. . . that you came to the realization you could not defeat me so you retreated ! :D

[WillWinnie]

You are the king of Gamerscore, I will admit it.

As for selling the PS3 for the 360, that didn't happen. I sold the PS3 due to personal reasons and got a Xbox 360 for Christmas a few months later.

[G_tarRoCK3R]

Is there a reason you couldn't have BOTH systems??

[jeccaneko]

That's some expensive switching there. Oh well, as long as you're having fun. :)

[onduvalst]

I thought it was called Goddess of War... And what's Folklore?

HS was great but to short, Folklore is the most awesomesauce game ever! google that shiz. I play that game all the time.:D

[WillWinnie]

Is there a reason you couldn't have BOTH systems??

Yes, I posted it earlier, the only way I can get the Playstation 3 is if I sell the Xbox 360, I don't have enough for it without doing that.

[FloodOne]

yech, folklore...

and I'm calling out Overkill on ps3 usage. according to my friends list, you haven't been online in 39 days

[Cpt. Overkill]

Yeah, my dog's chewed up the cables.

I need to get them replaced soon.

Dun Dun DUN

[Cpt. Overkill]

Dun Dun DUN

:(

I went to play LBP a couple of days ago and I couldnt find the cables. The dogs had to run off with them or chew them up.

I hadnt played in such a long time because I moved into my grandparent's house and forgot the cables at my house. Then we moved back in and they weren't here :(

[FloodOne]

bummer

I still need to buy LBP... too much gaming in the last 6 months

[DemiGodRaven]

LBP is amazing, I got that game on Launch day, play it about once every week or so. Some of the user created stuff is amazing, as well as the levels already packed in. The MGS4 pack was awesome.

Right now though, to me, the best two levels are the Ico tribute (forget it's name, I think it's just Ico (finished) and the Silent Hill tribute.

I don't know how the guy did it in the Silent Hill level, but he literally makes the walls melt away like in the movie and the latest games. Holy freaking crap.

[onidragon]

I own both, but I game on my 360 more, mainly due to most of my friends owning 360s and not PS3s, and that all my rock band/guitar hero gear is on 360.

[Joeylinkmaster]

just enjoy whatever system you like. that's what I do, no regrets

[DarkEternal37]

I'm calling YOU out. You haven't been on since...dammit now.

[WillWinnie]

I am not Al Gore.

[nashphx13z]

This.

Not online. >_>

And hold up a sec, I thought you said you were too lazy to hook up your PS3. LIAR! :eek:

Oh, and Bill, you can toss a friend request my way when you get your PS3. PSN: nashphx13z
