Fanboy Wars!

[gdf]

I haven't posted a thread in a while, so I thought I'd start a Fanboy War Thread!

Basically, two people pick a subject and argue opposite ways about it.

To start off, PS3 vs 360.

GO!

I give this 6 posts before it turns into flaming.

PS3 all the way.

More powerful,
web browser,
1080P,
fully updatable Blu-Ray built in,
Yellow Dog Linux running on it,
free online play and free online downloads,
SixAxsis,
one of the best DVD upscalers,
wireless out of the box,
Easier media streaming,
PS2 and PS1 playback (on 60gb),
looks better,
multi-regional PS3 games,
DivX playback,
Self-Upgradable HDD,
Game Updates.

Enough Said?

I will give the Xbox 2 things though -

Gears of War + Dead Rising.

PS3: not destined to break, MGS4, Little Big Planet, Team ICO Project 3[and 4 possibly?], Resistance 2[lag free 60 player online, 8 player co-op, greatest weapons] Fair DRM system for sharing files with 5 other people,files not locked to system, backup utility, a future.

Thank you for finishing the rest of my list off

If you people want to do this proper without flaming, go ahead, but I'll be watching. Also, I'd suggest you remove things, or at least distinguish things, that are opinions and not facts.

"looks better" is not an objective assessment, whereas "1080p" is.

[MasterMunt]

yeah i agree, i just added the looks better as an opinion thing lol

In a PS3 vs 360 battle I would have to choose PS3. Sony knows what they're doing by now and they have a pretty decent track record. As far as raw power goes I figure that when PS3 is fully utilized it will have the edge there.

Blu ray seems to be the way to go as well now. More storage by far means everything but price should be better. Multimedia works very well on PS3 with its hard drive and I have to imagine they'll do some neat stuff with PSP integration in the near future so I think PS3 is the winner in my eyes.

It may not have the games just yet but I think its clearly the better system and in time the games will go, logically, to the PS3. Except in the case of the Wii because games will come to it because everyone and they're mother wants one or already has it.

PS3 all the way.

More powerful, often not proven when you look at the games, but it is true
web browser, a nice feature actually, ps3 one is dreadfully slow and crappy compared to pc ones though
1080P, 360 does this, although we all know it's upsclaed
fully updatable Blu-Ray built in,
Yellow Dog Linux running on it,
free online play and free online downloads, you get what you pay
SixAxsis, Poorer battery life, no rumble
one of the best DVD upscalers, 360's is great too
wireless out of the box, yes nice
Easier media streaming, Easier how? I use wireless internet, and my 360 is hooked up to the router, so i didn't have to buy an adapter to connect from my comp to 360 wirelessly
PS2 and PS1 playback (on 60gb),
looks better, I laugh at your barbecue shaped console
multi-regional PS3 games,
DivX playback, I believe 360 gained this ability as well
Self-Upgradable HDD, With the proper tools 360 can too
Game Updates. Once again true on 360 as well

Actually the Web browser is quite fast, since the last two updates there was a dramatic increase in speed, and i use it very often for browsing kotaku and DCEMU with no problems and comparable loading to Safari.

Free 40 player lag free gaming is getting what you pay for. I also have to point back to the DRM used by the PSN much more open. Five users with full access to downloaded content. Monetary values are a plus

In my experience Sixaxis last for 30 hours as stated, DS3 last for 15+hours no problems. If you play longer than that in one sitting you have a problem. I agree it is 'poorer' but not poor.

At least it isn't grey…[or green]

DivX is completely integrated into the PS3 though, i can store movies on the internal drive, and download straight to the console [from the web browser]

the HDD access is much better on the PS3, full backup utility, partitioning [shame about the limits] accepts any 2.5 laptop drive.
