Playstation 3 Vs Xbox 360 - Big Fight, Live!

[Napalm-Death]

I back that! Anyhow, bill is resigning. Too much competition with PS3, delays with Vista and google developing a free office suite.

I agree, he's probably backing away from the PS3 so he can blame his company and not himself when everyone realizes that the PS3 destroys the 360.

I'm LOLing at this thread.

Some people have some very interesting view points and wild information sources.

Unless you are going to have thousands of nanomachines injected into your eyeballs to enhance your vision you will not be able to notice the difference in the graphical power of either machine. 1080p versus 1080i, come on, does anyone even actually own a 1080i TV yet?

One things for sure you can bet your goddamn arse that you won't be able to actually buy a PS3 in the uk for £425 at least until the middle of 2007, the machines available at launch will be "bundled" with games by retailers (probably titles you don't particularly want to buy).

MS have been fairly clever in avoiding the Blueray vs HD-DVD war by opting for an external drive, that way they can quietly release a Blueray version if HD-DVD gets pasted. Sony on the other hand have pretty much staked it all on them winning the format war (of which admittedly they have a fairly good chance). The only problem I can see is do consumers really want a new format? I can go out a pretty much buy any DVD I want for under £10 do I really want to have to fork out £30 for the latest Blueray release? Or am I happy with the quality of my DVD collection which I have spent the last few years building up? You guys guess.

you seem to be forgetting that the ps3 will boost blu ray sales. and vice versa

Who ever has an HDTV will care...But I think its too early right now to be console basing when only 1 console of the 3 are out right now (although, admitedly theres now reason to buy an X360 right now when theres no games for it)....

kaine - shrew got his 360 cos his ps2 wernt playing games youve admitted that yours no longer plays blue based games and the front of yours is missing. Jordan got a slimline after his broke completly and so did brad berry.

William Gates is resigning in 2008 after being the chief software developer for about 15 years.

Stated in his reasons are he is fed of having such a large market share and feeling a dominator. He also feels that the markets he deals in are getting clogged. But still the point - hes still the richest man in the world by far. Dont see any higo kogjima or however you spell his name on the rich list do we!

Acordian boy - do you know anyone who uses the ps2's service cos i dont yet i can name loads of people who i know personally who have xbox live.

Also i dont know anyone who has heard of red falcon or indeed anyone who owns it

Kaine oh yay i can have my ps3 custom build so by the time ive put an extra 128 mb ram in there it would cost me more than an alienware computer.

Blu-ray will fail - you watch

[stotheamuel]

hmm i know more ppl on ps2 for online cuz we dont like spending money

i own red FACTION (seriously you don't need to mispell it to diss it, you can read it then retype it correctly)

[Napalm-Death]

Hideo Kojima....doesn't need to be on the richest man list. AT LEAST HE DOESN'T GET SUED BY PEOPLE EVERY YEAR.
I use Sony's online service, all xbox live is used for is broken DOA and Halo. Hooray for sucky games!!
Red Falcon...? Are you seriously trying to piss everyone off by spelling names wrong? I've played Red Faction, and I agree, Halo is a ripoff.
Blu-Ray won't fail, watch. HD DVD will fail. It's bound to be like Windows...full of problems.

woohoo for red faction

another point
microsoft and xbox emcompasses all that is wrong with america!.

and nickcarswell if by higo kogjima you mean hideo kojima, then firstly you know nothing about gaming, because hes the guy who created metal gear, and is not part of sony. he is however one of the most(he is at the top in my opinion) influential figures in gaming.
oh and tell me how many original games have appeared on xbox....... 360 is full of fps and the most generic rpg ive ever seen! and am i right that to play online you need to pay? how much extra cost is that?

i like to compare the xbox to a grey squirrel
and the playstation 2/3 as a red squirrel
get it

heres some more great devs
Grasshopper

and the guys who did ICO and SotC

oh and jason rubin if he ever works again

[Kaine.shutler]

Carswell- You really have no idea. If you have ever played MGS, not by Higo Kogjima, but by Hideo Kojima, my favourite jap in the world, or if you have ever seen a demo for GOTP, you'd see that he is probably THE best games developer in the world, and he is rich enough to even open up his own company; Kojima Productions, based near enough entirely on the MGS series.

I myself have never played Red Falcon, because it doesn't exist, but I have indeed played Red Faction. It was out before Halo, of which Bungie Software (yeah, classy name) copied nearly every aspect.

You say MGS is crap and unrealistic, although quite frankly, MGS is the MOST realistic game on any platform, but Halo?! Press a button and you jump 50 foot in the air. Shoot someone and green goo comes out. The only thing Halo is good for is to kill some Americans.

And my PS2 does play all games well. It's not like 360 is invincible, many had to be sent back due to dodgy fans.

And one more thing- name one computer for less than £425 that has better games and better graphics than PS3... Didn't think so.
