PS3 or XBox360?

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

if it is used mostly for sports games I would go PS3. It has all the games the 360 does, plus MLB the Show which is the greatest BB game ever.

It has all the games the 360 does, and 90% of those are at 30FPS this year.

just Madden and NCAA. They will be 60fps next year.

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

...?? could you elaborate please...?!?!?

PS... I always felt the 360 was coming out too soon... And as far as quality I've never has a prob with the Sony...

The fact that they're tied to profiles and the assumption that some system will be put in place to stop even roster trading before next year.

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

Thanks for all of your opinions, facts, advice and etc.

I bought a 360 Elite. The manufacture date on the system is 8/17/2007. Bought the replacement job from BestBuy.

Madden, NCAA and Tiger are unreal to me on my 55' Sony SXRD & Bose system. I just need to find a transfer kit from Datel for the 360 so I can have updated & correct rosters. I cannot find one any where in the Tampa Bay area. I'm also looking forward to Halo 3.

Anyhow ... worse case I switch up and get a PS3 next year. But like most people stated, sports games look better on the 360 right now.

What I do not understand is why PS3 games only run at 780i ... but most 360 games run at 1080i or 1080p (which my TV supports). Anyone have answers for this, as I am interested. Is it because most games are ports from the 360 to the PS3?

I think that is the one statement I would whole-heartedly disagree with. From all accounts it seems that EA and alot of the sports games will concentrate on 360 and never really make a game using the whole power of the PS3......

As for FPS and RPG games, I see it other way - those programmers will take games to another level with the PS3.....But sports will most likely always be subpar to the 360 except for a few Sony exclusive titles.

How can you disagree with the fact the Show is a PS3 exclusive? For anyone that plays video baseball games, the PS3 has a big advantage. If you don't care about baseball then its a non factor. I don't expect to see the same sports game on either system be much different two or three years from now. However the Show was a big reason I chose the PS3 over the 360.

To each his own.....I would *never* make a console decision on one game and only one game....But if you did that and are comfortable with it - then fine....I just disagree with that. I expressed my opinion, not a fact....I still stand behind it - all indications are that programmers who intend to offer games on all consoles will concentrate on the 360 and port from there. History backs that up - thats all most of them have ports since there were many consoles and no reason to expect it to change anytime soon - its simple economics.....I dont expect PS3 games to be so bad - but sure wont expect them to use the consoles full power either.

If for some reason you think I am bashing the PS3 - then reread my posts in this thread. I would recommend the PS3 over the 360 in many reasons....Sports games is just not one of them - as a sports gamer - I would look to the 360 first.

As for the Show - blah, baseball....I mean its a great game, but limited replay for me - I mean, pitch, catch, run, bat....Pretty much the same pretty quickly. There are so many ways to score and get people out. Its not like football - different combinations, strategies & way to play the game. I could never suggest baseball as a feature title of a console as anything more than slightly added value - again, opinion - but sales numbers sort of support that as a more general public perception as well....Nothing touches Madden - its a football country plain & simple.

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

I was simply pointing out that for the people out there that like baseball games, the PS3 is a strong draw. Football is #1 for me and baseball #2. I might get the occasional basketball game in but I really only play two games all year and only sports games at that.

I think there are many people that primarily play only one or two games on their console. Based on that, I don't thinks its necessarily wrong to base a purchase decision on your specific needs. It would be interesting to have a poll where people could vote on how many different games get significant time in their consoles. For me the answer is two.

I respect the opinion....I just think there are better reasons to choose the PS3 than "The Show"

1. Blue Ray
2. Blue Ray
3. Power
4. Free Online Gaming

I do think BR is gonna win the format war and make no mistake - its a war. But all indications to me see them winning - content is always key and they have that. Getting a BR player is pretty nice in the deal - to me - its a BIG deal....A Blue Ray player is $500 as a stand alone. The games will come around I am sure of it.

Blu Ray is nice but unless it wins the format war, I'm not sure how much of a draw it is. It annoys me that I won't be able to watch Transformers on DVD unless I get a regular DVD. My upconverting DVD player does work nice though. One of my friends who's a software designer (not for video games) did say the extra storage capacity of a Blu Ray disc may become a big factor down the road. The $399 PS3 holiday bundle should also be well received by many. I'm not sure if the power of either system will make much difference but I'm happy with my decision as long as NCAA is 60 fps next year.

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

i had the 360 first and then traded it for the ps3 and just recently went back to the new 360s with hdmi ports and i'm really happy about my decision...

PSN network sucks plain & simple

For example: I wanted to download the FIFA 08 Demo. It took me over 8 hours to dl it.

DL'd it on the 360 using the same exact wireless connection and it took 10 mins.

Same connection, same time of day but 7+hr difference??????

And the fact that you can't send in-game messages is horrible. If I'm playin in my NCAA Dynasty and my friends IM me I couldn't IM them back telling them i'll be free in 25 mins or so? I'd rather pay $50 a year for all that XBL offers.

Not all bashing of the PS3 by me though. The upscaling of DVDs and Blu-Ray is incredible. With an HDTV I'd rather watch a Blu Ray movie then go to the movie theatres.

In the end for me it came down to Video Games though. I want a "video game" system. I have an ipod that can play musc, I can browse the internet on my computer, I just want to be able to play a good video and that is what the 360 offers right now.

This could all change if/when developers step their game up and figure out the PS3

Just my 2cents

"If" is more like it, I'm afraid. Especially if you're a sports gamer. :| I foresee next year's EA PS3 games equaling this year's 360 ones. And I blame Sony; they dropped the ball huge by almost requiring a doctoral thesis to program the PS3.

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

Can anyone tell me if you can browse the internet with a PS3? Thanks in advance

[ddtrane]

Re: PS3 or XBox360?

I think you can with a Wii, and I know you can't with a 360. Browse the internet that is.
