Ps3, Pro's amd Con's

[Dreddz]

You're a fanboy. You're what dreddz used to be before he realized that he was getting on everyone's nerves and calmed the hell down.

Actually I just got frustrated trying to reason with you lot. Its easy to call someone a fanboy when your backed up by other people saying the same thing. And I never felt like I was a fanboy of any console, I just critisized the Wii. But of course none of you could accept it so bitched bitched bitched. Oh and its easy to say crap about your own console when put in the spotlight, doesnt make you any less of a fanboy.

Fanboys calling other people fanboys, ahhhh the irony.

[Roto13]

Oh, be quiet. Yeah, everyone was calling you a fanboy, and you turned around and blamed it on me instead of taking a step back and seeing if it could actually be true.

I'm actually planning on getting a PS3 when MGS 4 comes out. Vivi there, though, can't even see any real negative things about his precious PS3 because he's so blinded by his raging fanboyism. Go look and see for yourself.

Another pro: PS3 can support up to 1080p, whereas 360 doesn't (only 1080i) but 1080p is a lot better.

This is false. Both consoles support 1080p.

But there isn't anything in 1080i/p out anyway. The HD stuff you get now is just 720p.

A few games for the PS3 are 1080p, Tekken 5, Ridge Racer 7, Toy Home, but most EA games only run 720p, Warhawk runs 720p also, a pro is Final Fantasy XIII

There are a couple of games out but most importantly Blu ray movies.

Technically, yes 360 can view 1080p display but the results from PS3 with 1080p are better than 360 on HDTVs due to some PS3's display features.

I have owned 360, I adjusted 360 with my 32inch Samsung HDTV to view the best graphics as possible and the graphics were amazing, no doubt about that. I found the games less fun. So I gave 360 back because of reasons, months later I finally have bought PS3. Adjusted PS3 with my HDTV, the graphics were AMAZING! Better 1080p graphics than 360 and so far I love PS3

Oh yes, another pro - the biggest company (Warner) has claimed that Blu-Ray will make exclusive for the fourthcoming movies because Blu-Ray won over the format war against HD DVD.

Pro: The PS3 games online is FREE! You don't have to pay.... on 360, you have to pay for it :P

Con? The new version of PS3 doesn't have BC, but that doesn't seem a problem to me because I already got a PS2


I heard that Blu-Ray company said that they are making larger amount of discs (more than 100gb). In the future, imagine an overpowered PS3 game on a 100gb blu-ray disc? That will be godly.

Update: Dual Shock 3 is WONDERFUL. It's just rumble and a lot heavier, but it feels great. Playing Burnout with Dreddz the other night (though I suck) was so much better with it. Get the Dual Shock when it comes out.

As for 1080p games, the only one (of the 6) PS3 games I have that support it is Ninja Gaiden. I have 9 360 games in my hand that support it (a few that one might not expect given the nature of them... Katamari? Bullet Witch? Earth Defense Force?! lol).

@Serapy: As far as '1080p looking better on PS3 than 360', that's merely opinion. For one thing, you didn't have both of them at the same time to compare. Another, we don't know if you played the same game on PS3 that you did on the 360. And your comment on 'not being an Xbox fan' places some doubt on your objective perception.

There are some actual 'Xbox vs PS3' comparison videos for several games out there. Many of them are identical, and some show some subtle differences with the PS3's ability to perform additional visual tricks (check Oblivion and Armored Core for the 'visual tricks' one). Whether the 'visual tricks' are better is just up to one's own preference. More recent comparisons like one with Devil May Cry 4 show Zero graphical difference.

Whether one version looks better than the other is up to the people making the game, not the 360 itself.

Uhm, of course it's my opinion, so what? But I really think that PS3 graphics on 1080p is better, I already have played 360 before and I chose PS3.
The 360 graphics are amazing also, but that doesn't make me being a fan, it's not like I hate 360.

Those videos you were talking about weren't perfect, if you played each console in real life, you will see a big difference. I had that difference when I played both consoles.

Someone has hacked 360 and made a mod chip for it, basically you can play pirated games (with the modchip) on it which is kind of not good for the game developers (money). Nobody has hacked PS3 yet because it's stronger (due to the cell processor). I don't know if someone will ever hack PS3 in the future, probably not for a while.

I believe that PS3 has potential for making better games in the future.

If you think that 360 is better then don't bother aguring with me, after all it's my opinion.

[Cleansation]

There has been made a ps3 firmware that plays pirated games - sadly only for the very first firmware and the hole in the security has now been shut.

One Con, the grill doesn't cook at great as my conventional stove.

[Mr Cactuar]

This is the thing that smurfing pisses me off. Fanboys of any consoles just arguing and arguing as if it really matters.

They all play video games. They can all be fun to play. They all have Pro's and they all have Con's. You may find one to be better then the other two but hey, it doesn't stop that console from being bad. Its all taste.

Period.

I agree. We're all gamers, first and foremost. Whether we happen to prefer obscure text adventures from the mid 1980s, or the latest shooters, shouldn't matter.

I like that I can enjoy Shadow of the Colossus, Space Empires V, and Halo 3. I don't see any reason to limit myself by genre or console.

Oh, give me a break. Am I the only one sick of hearing about the 1080i/p thing? Not content simply to argue about which console supports which, you're now arguing in about the quality of the same level of resolution. Who cares?! I'm happy with the Wii's graphics. Certainly, they're not as good as either the 360 or the PS3, but they're nice, and that's not the purpose of a video game system. I don't buy consoles becasue "ooh, this one's capable of processing 3hz faster than that one", or "yay, this one can play all the movies that are going to come out for the next few years until a new format is designed". If I want a movie player, I'll go buy a frelling movie player. I buy a gaming console for the games. You know, those things that the consoles are supposed to be designed for? So what if one system has a slight graphical edge over another? I buy the things to have fun. I don't want to waste a lot of money on a lot of bonus features like slightly enhanced graphics and movie players, I just want a console that can play fun games. That's it.

Just because someone doesn't think there's anything wrong with the PS3 doesn't make him a fanboy. Things like the price, the game library and the size of the console CAN be considered bad to some, while other might think it's just fine.

Just because you can see no faults in a certain something doesn't make you a fanboy. If I were to look at a #2 pencil and think it's perfectly fine, but some retard with a stick up his ass comes along and notices some slight irregularities with my said pencil, and points them out doesn't mean I'm a Pencil fanboy.(Yeah, great analogy, I know) In fact, it just means that the retard that can't seem to get it into his head that maybe I don't give a flying **** if my pencil is slightly irregular. It does it's job, and I'm content with it.
