Re: Would you trade your PS3?

Show wasn't worth it?

The show was great, but I just really liked the 360 better overall. I played the show for about 2 weeks and they that was all she wrote, the system just didn't get played.

Re: Would you trade your PS3?

I sold my launch 360 for a PS3 and after the whole 30fps vs 60fps ordeal and the online gaming comparisons, I was really thinking hard about trading in my PS3 but after much thought I am going to hold off for the following reasons.

1. 30fps vs 60fps is not an issue with my favorite game APF. So far I am not liking Madden (surprise, surprise) but it has notthing to do with the framerate.
2. MLB the Show is the best playing (not looking) baseball game ever made.
3. APF 2K8 online is smooth and that is the only game I play online anyway. Let's see what HOME has to offer.
4. Built in wireless (I really don't want to spend the additional $99 for the 360 adaptor)
5. Much easier file sharing capabilities (that would cost me another $50+ on the 360)
6. The only other games I play besides sports games are Splinter Cell, Metal Gear, and Halo. Obviously I can't play Halo on my PS3 but I am a sports gamer first and MLB the Show > Halo for MY gaming needs.

Both systems are great and if you can not own both, you have to decide which one fits YOUR needs and not what fits the gaming community. To the original poster, Good Luck with whatever you choose to do.

Hey man,

So you've played both versions of All Pro 2K8?

I have the PS3 version, and I really don't see any problems with it at all, plus I haven't heard of there being a HUGE difference between the two. I think it looks great and runs excellent online.

Have you noticed any other differences between the two?

Thanks!

Re: Would you trade your PS3?

Take in to account that there was quite a lull with the release of MS demos and arcade games for quite a long time. It's hard to be patient as a video gamer, but hopefully the future is bright for the PS3.

Like I said, I've contemplated going back to MS, but then I ask myself this....

Would I rather play Halo 3 or MLB The Show? Answer: The Show. I know if I had a 360, I'd buy this game impulsively, play online a week, play the single player a week, and shelve it.

Would I rather play Halo 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect or Unchartered, MGS4, and Kill Zone 2? Without a doubt, I'd rather play the PS3 games because I'm so tired of FPS alien games. Unchartered has me extremely excited.

As it's been stated, Winning Eleven/Pro Evo is supposed to play much better on the PS3 than the 360. I want this game pure and simple.

I'm not a golf fan in the least, but I cannot wait for Hot Shots Golf 4. That's more my speed than Tiger Woods. And heck, I have choice if want it.

Dirt is supposed to be visually enhanced over the 360 version.

The demo of GTHD has me drooling.....Can't wait for prologue.

The key here is to be patient.....if you can hold out a little longer, I believe you'll be quite happy you did.

This post AND this whole thread is helping me out immensely in my decision. I am on the fence and weighing all of my options about trading my PS3 back for a 360. The key IS to be patient though, as mentioned throughout the thread.

Also the idea of getting a refurb 360 on the cheap is intriguing. How does the warranty situation on a refurbished 360 work, anyway?

Thanks!

Re: Would you trade your PS3?

I wonder would you trade your PS3, 2 wireless controllers, and the SHOW...

for

The Black XBOX ELITE, 1 wireless controller, a charge kit, and the guitar hero guitar and game?

I am just curious on your opinions.

IMO;
I lose the SHOW the game is ridiculous this year. I can't imagine next year's rendition.
I lose free online service
I lose backwards compatibility

I gain
The best of the EA games this year. NHL and Madden are my targets...in that order.
I gain best online experience (I think)
I gain this year.


Long term, I don't know.

I appreciate everyone who chimes in.

Thanks

Who's giving you that option? And is the 1 wireless controller not iclude the one that comes with the system? I'd be interested in doing this myself. besides The Show the PS3 just sits there. I know, I know...in time the PS3 games will show up. Well when they do I can always rebuy a PS3 and probably at a cheaper price. Online is a big thing for me and right now (and nothing seems to indicate things changing) Sony's online is flat out terrible. I already have a 360 but have been looking at getting and Elite.

What's a refurb Elite going for?

A refurb Elite sells for $399 I believe.

As for Sony's online.... its not likely to change until the launch of Home. Sony has big plans for Home and it looks as though that is when we will get the 2.0 firmware update along with all the things we have been waiting for(achievements, ability to access xmb while in game, custom soundtracks).

As for the games, remember, Heavenly Sword is due out Sept. 12th. That game looks amazing.

I fear Sony's home will hamper online gameplay rather than help it. All I care anout is the gaming online aspect. I'll probably keep the system just because I don't want to lose my *** on a "deal".

I bought a used 360 last year- it broke 2 months later- but I just brought it to Walllyworld and said I bought it from them a couple months earlier for someones birthday gift. They didnt even ask for a receipt. They just checked the box out and gave me a new one.

That's exactly what i've been.

Re: Would you trade your PS3?

If you're a sports gamer who wants to play stuff other than The Show, it's a no-brainer. I'm beginning to regret getting a PS3 because of the inexcusable sh!t that's been going on with EA Sports' kiss-off of the PS3 for the 360. It's up to 2K Sports to salvage things, it looks like.
