Originally posted by mollyrulz9999 I'd perfer the ps3 99% of the time. I am an un-fan of the 360. I even made a facebook group about how much I hate the 360. Here's exactly what's said in my group (it's slightly edited, but yeah): "Fact 1: Microsoft are giving out $100 million US cheques to studios just to embrace their HD-DVD. N00bish, just like the 360 fanboys! Fact 2: Only Paramount and Universal studios are supporting HD-DVD, whereas every single other studio are backing blu-ray! Fact 3: Blu-ray movies have sold more than HD-DVD Fact 4: Sony are working on a dual-layer blu-ray. That's about 100 Gigabytes of space on it! Fact 5: Our PS3 exclusives are a LOT better than what's seen on 360. Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Warhawk, I believe Ratchet and Clank, Singstar and the upcoming MGS4: Guns of the Patriots and Resistance 2 (yes, it has actually been confirmed, and likely to be on the ps3 too, since it was so successful first time round) . All of these are PS3 exclusives and they are jolly good to the extreme! Fact 6: This is a quote from the official Playstation magazine of Australia: "While admittedly not attached to any specific game, this is still well worth a gander, as it relates specifically to the hi-def format war and, in particular, to the fact that blu-ray is a bee's dick away from declaring outright victory. Something that Hitler, in this bizarre mesh of scenes from the film Downfall with 'tweaked' subtitles is all too painfully aware of" As you can see from the text given, this shows that they think Xbox can either get away with tweaking subtitles, or they're having laugh at something that's not funny and that people all around the world are going to buy. NAUGHTY Microsoft. Fact 6: quite a few games you see on 360 originally came from Sony. Take for example, the GTA series. That was very good on Sony. They probably took it onto Xbox to increase sales, but hell, sales were already great at the time! Fact 7: the PS2 was the second most successful console in 2007 (behind the Nintendo DS). Obviously most of that must have come from selling their PS2's to companies (Gamestop for instance buys and sells everything gaming). to get a PS3. Either that or God of War II got hell popular. Fact 8: Unlike Xbox, Sony isn't trying to confuse studios to move to downloading loads of stuff. It gives people a hell of a lot more on their bill! Who's fault was that that a studio doesn't put half of what they wanted to put in? They either do it on purpose so they are caught in the 'download everything' trap or they're just not that good developers and don't bother putting everything in, but they chuck the leftovers onto the 360's downloading network. Fact 8: It seems some 360 studios are running out of ways to make money from their games, so what do they do? yes! They put them on to another console. Yes, I have seen 'Lost Planet: Extreme condition', which is a port of the 360 version (and an old one at that), and it sucks! It looks very dated and shoddy. "We might be going bankrupt because no-one's buying Lost Planet! What do we do?" "I know. We can put it on another console and see if they might move to the 360". Nice idea, bad choice!!!! Fact 9: Does Bill gates REALLY need any more of your money?!? (After failing with Vista, it seems there's a chain reaction that goes to the 360)" I also heard recently that toshiba has quit making HD-DVD players, which makes blu-ray the 'bleeding obvious' winner of the format wars.

well if a facebook group was created, then XBox 360's must really be evil...

that's sweet man, you got a crazy deal. The beauty about ps3 games is that they aren't region locked in any way

You gotta get the net happening, playing online is probably the best feature of fifa! go nuts mate!

listening to console fanboys argue about platforms is like watching two retards fight over a fruitbox.

all the gaming systems are great, stop being such a tool.

yeah i agree. you dont have to be one or the other.

Sorry for adding to it, but I can't do nothing while someone tries to pass off bullshit as "facts".

yeah, i like to stir up the consoles with my pro-PC immature bollocks, but the fact is that every single console helps make the other consoles great through competition.

we are all dependent on that competition to get the very best that's on offer.

in the end it comes down to personal choice and what you're after but to argue that any platform is crap is just retarded.

haha i cant believe how serious some of you people are. when it comes to the crunch the ps3 has more exclusives coming out of its arse this year:

metal gear solid 4
god of war 3
killzone 2
8 days
resistance 2

i think that short list alone (which is by no means complete) kicks butt over the 360's line up.. ms is in serious trouble. the only exclusive title for 360 that i wish i ever had was gears of war, but one game vs many games made my mind up for me.

I was about to ask about this game! Metal Gear rocks

I am only saying my view on the whole thing. Sure they're all good consoles to own, but I'm only saying what I thought of the whole thing. I know you see it differently, but I'm saying it from my point of view.

no you say "FACT" "FACT" "FACT" for great �ber waffles!

quote:

Originally posted by sunrise3500 my god, most retarded post i've ever seen. Sony has paid out WAYY more money to more companies than that. So your fact is bullshit.

then why don't you tell me how much and we can settle this?

quote:

That fact isn't a fact either, since actually no studios are supporting HD DVD now. Why? Refer to the note in fact 1.

Well, that's a good thing, ain't it?

quote:

If that does happen (which it wont), PS3 wouldn't read it. Infact, all early adopters of bluray are screwed, as their players won't read newer discs. Sony's response is they took a risk being an early adopter. (Bluray isn't a finalised format yet.)

Is there any proof of that?

quote:

that's actually not a fact but personal opinion.

It could be, or the fack that Sony tacked Quality AND quantity.

quote:

from Playstation magazine? ....

Yes, I've been reading them since 2002. Isn't there an Xbox magazine? I wonder why.......

quote:

GTA series actually originally came from PC. Sony did have an exclusive deal, because they're anti-competitive. (Want more proof of anti-competitiveness? In Australia, retailers were given incentive to resell only bluray products, BUT they had to be exclusively bluray - weren't allowed to sell HD-DVD players/movies.

I know that. My sister's friend's brother had the original GTA (I played it on the PS1 as well from a friend). I was sayin that the Playstation had GTA on it first compared to other consoles, then when the Xbox came out, they stuck it on that too (the original Xbox was crap too xompared to the PS2. "Too little games, too many shooters, too F'n green"). Yes, it could be to make more money, but that makes the games drift off into other genres that lack the features of other consoles, and with the larger amount of space on the blu-ray than hd-dvd, games had to be brought down onto HD-DVD's level on other consoles just to make it fair for everyone. Hell, GTA4 could be bigger/have more missions etc if HD-DVD wasn't in the way. This is why blu-ray has such good games (refer to 'fact' 5)

quote:

Admittedly I'm not sure about worldwide stats, but PS2 was out sold by Nintendo DS, Nintendo WII, XBOX 360 in 2007.

According to Good Game, the DS was the highest-selling console, with the PS2 coming second, then the wii at third. I think their facts would be right considering their stories determine the trust in a company's console. This is unusual for the PS2 to be the second-highest, but it's not a surprise if that would be because people were buying PS3's and trading their PS2's in for it.

quote:

bluray profile 2.0... web content. so WTF

Sorry, I don't know what the hell your talking about, but the fact remains, Microsoft only confuses buyers into downloading and stuff. Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has loads of content for the 360, but most of it's un-needed and could only cause the game to crash. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I've heard loads of stories about people having to get new 360's because it was overheating. lol, what's the point? My ps3 hasn't overheated since I got it in November. There are 1 or 2 jitters here and there but nothing a good reboot can't handle.

quote:

go learn and read up on sony. already mentioned their anti-competitive practices. Heard of sony rootkit? If not, in short, don't put a Sony Music CD in your pc, unless you want sony spy software installed unknowingly into the background of your pc. There's more.. but meh.

And what's that got to do with the PS3?

For great �ber humor, actually

Originally posted by mollyrulz9999 Sorry, I don't know what the hell your talking about

OMFG. STFU. Go and do some research.
(ps there's a thread for this already.. if you want to continue ranting and would like me to present the FACTS unlike your bullshit, go there). or alternatively do some reading yourself. HIGHLY SUGGESTED! And perhaps from a non sony/ps source (That's why the O_o at the PS Magazine remark).

Just because I read a magazine doesn't mean I get ALL my info from there. I'm still (sorta lol) following other consoles. I'd like to get other consoles and compare, but I'm saving money to pre-order games and stuff. Maybe some other time (or when another xbox or nintendo console comes out) but for now I'm happy with what I have at the moment. Besides, I don't think I need to research just to see which console is better. I know what I know and that's that.
