Re: [360/PS3] which one is actually cheaper
Lol at the people arguing the price.
Sure in Europe the X360 is the best value. Espeically in the UK where the PS3 costs over $800usd.
The fact of the matter. Here in the USA the PS3 comes out the cheapest if you wish the make the X360 the same value.
X360 Elite = $480 MSRP
X360 HDDVD Drive = $200 MSRP
X360 Wireless Adapter = $100 MSRP
-----------------------------------
Total = $780 USD
PS3 60GB = $500 MSRP
120 GB HDD =~ $100-125
-------------------------
Total = $600-625
So here in the US the PS3 does win out on cost in the end. But given the fact that most people don't care about wireless you can knock off $100 to the X360. And if you don't have an HD TV the HDMI and HDDVD drive of the X360 will be pointless to get so you are back to the normal Premium model.
So to the average user the x360 is the best deal. As it's $100 cheaper.
Also Sony is going to release another version of the PS3 soon in the US (and maybe other places). It's basically a mix of the old 20gb model and the Europe model. It has a 40gb hdd, none of the special features of the 60gb model, and like the EU version of the system it lacks the PS2 chips and it wont have emulation on it. And this will be at the same price as the x360 premium, $400. (This is confirmed in the August issue of Game Informer on page 32.)
So with the newest PS3 system you will get more out of it then the x360 if you are into the HD stuff, but at the cost of no PS2 and PS1 support.
But all of that is just about the cost of it. Which cost means nothing. Look at the Wii. It costs the less and has inferior hardware, but it's just as good as the other two.
What really makes a system is the quality of games. And right there the x360 wins out thanks to it's 1 year lead. I have over 20 x360 games and all but 4 of them are good games (Burger King games and Superman are crap). For the PS3 I have 8. And out of that 8, 5 of them are on the x360. And for all of the other good PS3 games out there. Most of them are poor x360 ports. Now that is what hurts the PS3. They have no exclusive games and all of the crossplatform ones have performance problems due to the completely different architectures.
I do have to give the PS3 credit for how well their exclusives does look and play. Resistance plays awesome online and Motor Storms graphics and physics are some of the best in any game to date. Then when you look at some of the upcoming games like GT5, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze, and most of all MGS4 it's amazing on how well they actually look.
When done right the PS3 is just as good as the x360. They are pretty much equal in almost every aspect when properly done right.
And one thing the PS3 does win out in is the upscaling of PS1 and PS2 games. On my NA system at least it's far superior then the x360s. The x360's upscaling is kind of shitty at times and good at others, the PS3's is done very well all of the time. So that's a plus for that.
As for the online portion of the systems the x360 is the best by all means. The PS3 is just free and that's the only good thing about it. Maybe once Home comes out for it things will change but until then you can't beat how well XBox Live is. It's so easy to use and well made.
And Gohan, when you are in a low interference area you have no performance problems running the wireless on the PS3.
Also Gohan you should check out Blu-Ray movies. Running them in 1080i/p is amazing. Running movies in 720p won't increase the detail much over there in Europe as you people are already running a 576 resolution compared to the NA and JP's 480. At 1080 it's pretty damn amazing the amount of detail. And that's the reason why I got the PS3. It's the cheapest Blu-Ray player here and most of the movies I buy are on the Blu-Ray format and not the HDDVD format.
And you X360 fanboys should stop arguing this. Both systems are just as good as one another. Wait a year and then argue it again. You'll find it even more hard to argue your side as Sony is constantly fixing the very thing you do argue. =P
X360 did it right from the beginning. The PS3 didn't. That's the truth. Though the bad parts of the PS3 are slowly being fixed and in a year when it gets some good exclusives it will be very well just as good as the x360. As that's the only thing keeping people from buying it.
themasher, stop these stupid arguments anyways. Do you do these just to get yourself flamed? And if you want to up your GS then how about playing the game you got that 50 from. It will either give you 200 or 1000 in total and if you can't afford to buy games then go rent them. Play King Kong, TMNT, or most sports games for easy points. And with a GS of just 50 it proves you never play the X360 you own as most games give you 10-50 for just putting 5 mins into a game.
Also Gohan, you do know that RFoM took up over 17gb for the game and Blue Dragon uses 6 dual layer DVD's? That's where the storage capacity of BluRay helps. Maybe MS will let games be made on both DVD and HDDVD so people can pick which one they want to use when games start to use 2+ disks like back in the days of the first PS. And also Gohan have you taken a look at the PS3/PSP functions? Some of them are quite neat. You can turn your PS3 into a media server for the PSP and stream videos, musics, photos, and games over the internet to any wifi spot you are at with your PSP. I've yet to try games but there is no problem at all doing the music and videos.

How about for the simple reason that most people don't care much for the new formats yet, nobody knows which will win, and it's damn expensive, BR movies are for example 30 euro, that's just insane.

I disagree, while graphics aren't the most important thing, the Wii is just extremely outdated, they could have atleast bumped the specs up a notch and included 720p, it would have made a big difference.

Ehm it makes a huge difference, you have to remember it's 704 or 720x576, and that's interlaced, compared to 1280x720 progressive scan it's simply butt ugly.
When you play a DVD on my TV (32inch 720p) in a regular DVD player then it just looks awful, when you play it in a player capable of upscaling then it looks a lot better, and when you play a 720p file (downloaded some) then you just see a huge difference. 720p is definetly way better.

Quote:

Besides that they could have made it smaller, there is also a chance that it would have been smaller if it was on the 360, the development kits for the 360 are a lot better, so it's easier to make the best of the game, also due to the low speed of the BR drive they probably did some stuff to make the access time lower.
That game wouldn't have given a problem on the 360.

It uses 3 actually.
Quote:

True, but like i said, there is a downside to the Blu-Ray drive and that's it's speed, and with high quality fast changing open worlds, then data speed is an issue, one that would require sacrifices on the PS3. Don't some games place a large amount of data on the harddrive to speed up access and load times?

I already can, no need for a PS3, not to mention that i can hold roughly 15-20 hours of high quality video on it, if i'd reduced the quality some then i could double it.
The PS3 is a good machine, it will have a year from now a nice collection of quality games, the Blu-Ray drive makes it well worth it's money (if you want it that is), but both of their real advantages are also downfalls, BR discs are big, but the drive is slow, and the processor is extremely powerful but is hard to code for and is imo mostly a waste, it simply doesn't need that much, more memory and a better GPU would have done more for it.
Anyway in a year i will have one, might take pretty much a year from now, or perhaps already half a year from now, i really don't know, depends heavily on how many exclusives there are and how good they are.

Re: [360/PS3] which one is actually cheaper
All your gamerscore can be achieved in a matter of hours, probably even less, this still doesn't proof anything.
I can create a account now, and have over 2000 GS at the end of the day, easily.
If you want to convince me, then come with achievements that i know will take a while to get, so far they are just easy ones, infact Fight Night Round 3 is known as 1 of the achievement whore games, because it's so damn easy to get 1000 on it.

and just in case you cant figure out wat recreation zone is
Who are Recreation Gamers?
Recreation gamers are the good kids who want to have fun but still play by the rules. The cheerful and responsible kids who are in student government.
Recreation gamers like to play games. They like to win, but are more into the social aspect than the final score. Sometimes they team kill because they're too busy chatting to pay attention. But no one yells at them.
Recreation gamers watch movies that are rated PG-13. They love action and comedy. They'll watch anything starring Will Farrell.
Recreation gamers tell jokes that begin "A guy walks into a bar …" but they would never tell a sexist or racist joke.
Recreation gamers love mass-market paperback novels. Tom Clancy, John Grisham, and Patricia Cornwell are big favorites.
Recreation gamers read superhero comics. A good guy prevailing over evil fits in with their view of how the world should work.
Recreation gamers listen to top-40 radio or Classic Rock. A few listen to Country, but the rest forgive them.
Recreation gamers usually like things once they've become popular in the mainstream.
Recreation gamers often band together in groups and organize real-world parties and weekends for friends they've met on Xbox Live.

The prices of HD movies here run from $25-35. Just like how DVDs where when they first came out.
And about which one will win out. It's most likely going to be BR. It pretty much has won out in Japan as it's been there for about 4 years now. And for the US BR has the most exclusives and most of the big name movies so they are selling the most and the movie rental places are only going to rent out BR disks and not the HDDVDs any more.

I agree on that. The Wii is a joke on graphics. They say it's better then the original XBox but yet none of the games look as good as Halo 2 or DoA3.
It would make it a lot better if it has 720p support. But then again most of the Mario games wont make a real difference as their graphics haven't changed much since the N64. -.-

Of course a progressive scan will look a lot better, but all in all it's not much more detail.
If you are used to a 480i or even a 480p single and then go and take a look at a 576i single you'll be amazed on how much more detail there is though it may not be a clear as the 480p single.
Though I'm used to a 720p and 480i/p single now and going to a 576i single isn't much of a change. It's like smack dab in the middle. Not that bad against a 720p and a hell of a lot better then a 480 single.

You have a LCD TV right? Running anything lower then the default resolution looks bad. =P
I can put a DVD on a good old tube SD tube TV and it'll look 1000 times better then on my HDTV.
But yeah. When it's at the right resolution it does look better but not any better then watching it on a SD TV.
But when you watch a native 720p it's just amazing. Though if you can watch it in 1080i as you can with BR and HDDVD movies it makes no since. 1080i is where HD really matters. =P

That game wouldn't have given a problem on the 360.
Actually it's that big due to the fact of how big the game is. It's so damn long. Tons of levels and the levels are so damn big.
Sure they could make it smaller. Chop down or take out half of the dragged on levels and reduce the texture size, but that wouldn't be good for the game itself.
And for load times on the BR. It's not actually any longer then the X360.

Actually the speed of the BR player isn't bad at all. Of curse on the poor half ass X360 ports it's bad but on PS3 exclusives or ports that have taken the time to put effort into it's quite good actually.
Hell look at Oblivion. It's a horror show on the X360 with the load times. They managed to put it on the PS3 with a larger draw distance and better textures and still managed to make it load faster then on the X360.
Then when you look at the exclusives they have no issue at all with load times.
RFoM has very little load time and so does AC4 and Motor Storm. Sure some ports like Madden NFL has long load times but that was a half ass job.
With my other games like MLB 2k7, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Def Jam Icon the load times are no different from the X360 versions.
I already can, no need for a PS3, not to mention that i can hold roughly 15-20 hours of high quality video on it, if i'd reduced the quality some then i could double it.
And out of my games only 1 required an install and that was RFoM. That was only about 100mb and its mostly to do with the online part of it.
Gundam Crossfire also has the option to install on the HDD to improve the load times. Now that game is a joke. Either you put up with long load times or install 4gb of it onto the HDD. Then again that game is just a massive rushed job and was only 70% completed when they released it. So they said fuck the optimization process and just have a 4gb install to sort it out. :glare:

The BR disks does suit it well for the exclusives though. But those are the games that taken the time to optimized it for such a thing.
The half ass x360 ports will always take longer to load from it as it's optimized for DVDs. If they spend the time to fix it, then it'll never be a problem. Though Sony really should consider allowing games to be put on DVDs. They gave in and allowed PS2 games to be on CDs so maybe they'll do it again.
Yeah it should have also been equipped with more memory and a better GPU but at the moment they are just enough for it. The more memory would be great so it can actually be used as a Linux box.
I'm sure they would sell 1000's more if it had 1gb of system memory instead of the 256mb it has. Or better yet if they allowed for users to upgrade the RAM in it if they wanted to turn it into a Linux server.

Well Lair and Heavenly Sword comes out with in the next two months so there will be at least 5 good exclusives for it. Ninja Gadien, RFoM, and Motor Storm are the others.
By the end of the year you'll also have WarHawk and Haze. Both of which appear to be kick ass games.
That along with all the cross-platfrom games out there. And the newer ones seem to run just as good on both. So it's down to either down to adding to your x360 GS or the PS3's version which comes out in the fall.

Doesn't sound like it's not in it.
As far as i know is our 60GB version exactly the same as the one in America.
Read all of the Sony press statements on the EU version of the PS3.
You'll see that they left out the PS2's Emotion Engine (CPU) and the Graphics Synthesizer (GPU) from the EU version and the Korean version to save money. So the PS2 and PS1 games on them are done by a software emulator.
So that new US PS3 is just going to be the same system the EU and Korea has with a smaller HDD and the emulator disabled.
I have no idea on how well the emulator works on the EU machines but I do know that the US and JP systems with the chips in it works perfectly fine.
By the way here's an article on the PS3 backwards compatibility issue:

How about King Kong, TMNT, and Surfs UP which each gives you 1000 points for beating the game.
Most other sports games takes no effort to get 500-1000 points. Hell with Madden NFL 07 you can get over 600 points by not even playing the game. O.O
If I wanted to I can go to Blockbuster at any time and get 1k points per day for a week or two.
If you know what games to play points are easy to get.
Shame how there are some games that are so easy to get points in and others that are so hard to get points in.
I've spent over 8 hours in NFS Carbon and have yet to get 1 point in it. While I can spend less then 8 hours to finish either TMNT or King Kong and get 1k in each.

For a LCD TV you really want to work on the original size or it will look blurred, so i believe that a 720 and 1080 option would have been great.

The data readspeed is i believe about 8.6 mbps, which is really quite low. With a game like Test Drive Unlimited i've encountered if you go full speed for a while, then after a while you notice that the 360 has trouble loading data fast enough, the PS3 would have this even more, so in that perspective Sony has a problem.

No new PS3 for us, they added RFoM, Motorstorm and a extra controller to the package for the same price of 600 euro here.
But so far there are not enough titles for me to spend 800 euro, in 6 months there will be more titles, some cheaper games and it will be interesting to buy, a year from now you will have a whole bunch of great titles, and quite a lot of cheaper games.
Quote:
I'm sure you do know how easy to get them. You have over 9k. =P
Yes and no... i do know how to get them easy, but i don't go through great lengths to get a high GS, i mean i got 23 games here, to have 9k is not exactly impressive. The only easy GS game i got is NBA 2K6, you can get 1000 in about 1 hour, but i actually bought the game for the game itself, like i always do, and i still play it.
But yeah i know plenty of titles in which you can get a high GS without to much problems. With the right games you can get 10k in about 1-2 days, so considering i got my 360 since december and i own 23 games, i believe i don't whore GS. ;)

Right now they are winning it due to the fact of the PS3. There are more PS3's out there then HDDVD players. And when you add in the number of stand alone BR players and Sony computers with BR players there is over double the amount HDDVD players in use. So that's the reason for their victory.
Though things might change. Toshiba is planning to have all of their laptops they sell have a HDDVD player included. And they sell about 10 million laptops a year. So this might change things. But it could be to late then.

With a game like Test Drive Unlimited i've encountered if you go full speed for a while, then after a while you notice that the 360 has trouble loading data fast enough, the PS3 would have this even more, so in that perspective Sony has a problem.
A 2x BR player read speed is 72 mbit/s or 9 mb/s. While the x360 has a 12x DVD player with a read speed of 15.6 mb/s.
Sure it's a lot more but the thing with the x360 is that it doesn't allow data caching on the HDD. The PS3 does. That's why the speed of the player doesn't really matter.
In area where you need fast data access you can preload the data for the next part on the HDD and it actually speeds things up due to the higher bandwidth of the SATA link.
It would be great if MS would allow that on the x360 so that owners of a HDD will have shorter load times. Hence how the PS3's version of Oblivion has faster load times even with a greater draw distance and better textures.

That's better then us. Our $600 package only got a 20gb bigger HDD and Motor Storm. Would have been better to have a package like your's since you can get an 80gb HDD for the extra $50 and upgrade it yourself.

But yeah i know plenty of titles in which you can get a high GS without to much problems. With the right games you can get 10k in about 1-2 days, so considering i got my 360 since december and i own 23 games, i believe i don't whore GS. ;)
Same here. We have about 20 games for it and I only have just over 6k and Kitten only has just over 2k. And we have had it for over a year now. :icon6:
I can easily get another 3k by actually playing Dead Rising, Prey, Tomb Raider, and Lego Star Wars 2. But I've been to busy playing all of my unfinished GB, PS2 and XBox games. -.-

Re: [360/PS3] which one is actually cheaper
She has only 2k? Damn that's very little if you got 20 games, even if you don't whore GS.

And the funny part is 1000 is from Oblivion. Rest are from Lego Star Wars and Prey. Then the odd few from games here and there.

Get her NBA 2K6, quickest 1k possible i believe (about a hour).
