Yeah for laptops and all it's fine, it's all fine for regular work computers, i mean if you open a site, and you lose some of the connection it really doesn't matter much, but when you are in a game then it can cost you your life.

Theres also the expansion problem, any ccna student (as im sure omerta will) will tell ya that wireless has almost reached its limit bandwith wise whereas wired can go a whole lot faster as new media is discovered. For this reason i would never go wireless.
As for HD players and hdmi cables you don't need them to play a 360 i do fine without them, i have no HD tv so why should i spend a huge amount of money on a ps3 that is completely geared to a HD experience when i dont have? why not spend my money a system thats perfect now with the oppertunity to expand it if i need too?
if your too poor to afford a HDTV then its your own problemQuote:

I don't see the 360 ever having a limitation on that, they will however run into problems with the memory and/or videochip eventually.
Ofcourse the PS3 also came out a year later, even though it's worse for the most part.
So besides the datastorage the PS3 really doesn't have much for it going.
You're right, Playstation did HAD better games, right now Microsoft is buying out game companies and making exclusive deals everywhere.Quote:

Make a list of the top games of the Playstation 2, and you will find that half of these titles are not exclusive anymore, are exclusive for the 360 or are spiritually no longer on it (like Final Fantasy since the creator left Square and is now working on 2 exclusives on the Xbox 360, so Sony gets the name Final Fantasy, the Xbox 360 gets the games)
The PS3 has some good titles coming up, but they ain't a lot, while Microsoft has a huge amount of quality exclusive titles.
hmm you keep calling me a playstation fanboy. but your a microsoft fanboy. get off bill gates dick man!!!
Is the 360 live even available to all? Also price will vary depending on where you live so what might be cheaper for one will be more for another. Both are good systems. Anyways i think this post will be locked and deleted.
Wireless hasnt reached its bandwidth max its just that to get a high bandwidth you need to pay a high price. I remember seeing a belkin 308mb wireless router that was allmostQuote:

If i say the PSP has more power then the NDS, does that mean i'm a Sony fanboy? If i say the Nintendo Wii has more power then the Commodore 64 does that mean i'm a Nintendo fanboy?
The answer would be No, so when i say the 360 has an overall better performance, has a better online service, and has a bigger collection of games, then that doesn't mean i'm a Microsoft fanboy, it means i have a working brain.
How does Microsoft offer more stability, they actually fucked up big time with the stability of the Xbox 360.Quote:

now about all the crap i saw in this thread
first of the blue ray ain't slower , y? because now they just burn the game 2 times on different layers of the disc so it can load twice as fast
not to mention soon the xbox360 dvd drive will have problems with all the hd content and ull get 2 dvd / 3 dvd boxes (hate that always 1 gets lost or scratched)
and definitly for future to come ur way better of with blueray then with dvd
now its already obvious the ps3 game's will look much much better next year
they r still at the first generation game's and omg
just watch the trailers of Lair and Heavenly sword Gametrailers.com - SGD07 Heavenly Sword Gameplay 4 HD by ryuuji

they didn't even get to 50% of the ps3 potential power
and just recently ps3 released a box with 2 controllers +1 game +5blue ray films for the same price as before so now ur definitly better of with a ps3

Without the man himself which is making several games for the Xbox 360, including the FF like game Blue DragonQuote:
ff 13 !!
How did they steal anything? They offered more money and a better way to make games (they are a whole lot easier to make on the 360, so more money + lower development costs + more gamers who will buy the game = $$$)Quote:

That doesn't help, it can make the access time faster, but it doesn't change the data speed, that's in the machine itself, and they can't change that as it would mean that older models wouldn't work properly with new games.Quote:

Only a huge game like GTA 4 can fill up a DVD disc, take a game like Oblivion which can fit on a single DVD layer, the 360 uses dual layer and uses a compression technique allowing roughly 50% more without any speed loss (the 360 has a chip especially for decompressing data)Quote:
not to mention soon the xbox360 dvd drive will have problems with all the hd content and ull get 2 dvd / 3 dvd boxes
While the Blu-Ray does offer advantages in that department, the speed gives it a disadvantage, the question remains which is actually better in the end, because the data speed can really be a problem. If you take a huge open world game like Test Drive Unlimited, then the PS3 would have a serious problem, i've seen the Xbox 360 already have had a few problems keeping up with the data, the PS3 would only be able to read at about 55% of that, so if the game would have been released on the PS3, then they would have had to made serious adjusments to the game for it to work on the PS3, non for the better.
How do you loose or scratch a game, i'm guessing you are either extremely reckless, or you don't pay for the games and thus don't feel the pain when you ruin a lot of money.Quote:
and ull get 2 dvd / 3 dvd boxes (hate that always 1 gets lost or scratched)
Most players disagree, infact GameSpot did a comparison test with games on both systems, and the 360 came out quite a bit better overall.Quote:

Only 50% of it's processing power, while the cell processor is 1 amazing processor, you can't actually do wonders with it, you can't put a fast processor in a old machine and expect games to look great. The 360 has enough power to handle the games, with a better video chip and a better use of it's memory, it can offer a higher quality picture then the PS3 can.Quote:
now already said bye many develops but recently mentions bye factor 5 (makers of lair)

While the Cell processor can do amazing things for the PS3, you should remember that when they talk about 50%, it's purely about the processing speed, and not the video quality, because that will be pretty much maxed out.
The chip used in the PS3 is fully based on the Geforce 7900 GT(X), whereas the Xbox 360's ATI was newly designed using many of it's older technologys, but also technology's found in it's new cards. The ATI chip is by far superior at every point.
And yet you already do with the PS3, you pay that extra money for the Blu-Ray drive, it's just already included.Quote:

The 360 has virtually not heating problems, when they do it's a rare case of a bad fan (happens very little). In most cases it's just people not giving it enough room, the fact is that i never had any heating problems.Quote:
and just lol at all the xbox360 problems with overheating more then 35 %
The 360 does have a high a pretty high failure rate, even though it's not even close to 35% (most failing consoles just keep failing, making the number much smaller then people believe, if you have a console fail 5 times, then you can count 5 failed consoles, or you can just count 1 bad console, which is what it is, as most of the consoles that have these problems was the release model)
You know i was going to argue my point for the 360 but now that Gohan has covered every point i was going to cover except better i may as well just tell you PS3 lovers that you have been owned. The 360 is worth the money you invest in it and its a very reliable console. The infamous "ring of death" that everyone continues to refer to does not happen nearly as often as people think and usually only on the older consoles. My friend for example got it when it first came out and only had one problem ever this whole time. I got mine about 8-9 months ago and not a single problem with it.
