PS3 vs XBox 360 Online Play

Which is better in your opinion. I'm stumped. I don't know which to buy. I hear Xbox 360 has better online game play and better overall graphix in depth. Play Station 3 is a STRONGER system and won't break down as much as the Xbox 360. Doesn't have the best graphix as good as Xbox but isn't that bad.
How is the online of Xbox 360 and PS3.

ps3 has more graphic potential. it really comes down to which exclusives you like more, the graphics shouldn't be a deciding factor. baby your 360 and it will probably treat you well, the newer ones are a lot more resilient than previous generations

plus i believe bluray is a deciding factor in this too-- if you're a movie buff a little more than a gamer i'd go with PS3 considering it's already a bluray player. HDDVD is dead.

Xbox360 owns because of the exclusive games. I think more people have Xbox360 as well.

From what I heard, Microsoft paid SONY designers and NINTENDO designers to make all there games. My main games are BF2 Bad Comany and GTA IV. PS3 hasn't come out with all of the potential games yet and quiet frankly imo, Xbox 360 GAMES kind of suck.

i'm sorry but if that is your opinion it is horribly misinformed, borrow a 360 and i bet you'll find some game that grabs you. if you already want a PS3 that's one thing, but don't base it on the false notion that 360 has shitty games because it has a ton of BOMB exclusives.

Hahah he's not misinformed at all. This has always been the case with sony and microsoft. Sony has always had better quality games and a better quality system. My friend bought a 360 so i spent a lot of time playing it before i even got my ps3, and ps3 is just soooo much better. Not to mention free online.

I'm just stumped on what to get. I hear 2 parties of differnt shit. I hear a lot of xbox 360 is more preferable. PS3 does and will have more games. Xbox 360 games, most do suck.

i have mine hardwired to my router and it runs fine, of course every now and then you have people with poor connections messing things up but it's not often. GTA runs perfectly every time, you can barely tell it's online. I havent played battlefield yet.

How many of those are exclusive though? 360 definitely is winning the battle in exclusives at the moment.

Halo, Ninja Gaiden, Dead Rising, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Saints Row. There may be others, but those are the good ones I've played.

And I want to make it clear that I'm not a fanboy or anything. When PS3 gets more exclusive games, I'll probably buy one. I almost jumped on one just for MGS.

ninja gaiden and gears are the only two worth anything in that bunch. Microsoft is notorious for taking good licenses and running them into the ground i.e perfect dark. The n64 version was a trillion times better than that piece of shit. And saints row is just a true crime rip off which is just a gta rip off. so it's trash.

MGS is awesome. But it's a faggots dream. People love to snipe and be gay. it's frustrating.

Have you played it? In many ways it surpasses the mundane shit in GTA. It's a game that's supposed to be fun and ridiculous and every gaming review site in the world disagrees with your opinion that it sucks.
It is far superior to True Crime.

I just want to play it so badly. The fact that an IGN gave it a 10/10 makes it very appealing to me.

GTA is the original ridiculous. I will never accept that blatant rip off.

I agree with you up until GTA4. While it's still great, it is sooooooo fucking boring at points. I like the pure ridiculousness of the prior gen GTA games. I hate having to do shit like taking my buddy to the cabaret and whatnot.
The insurance fraud minigame in Saints Row is amazing.

at this point i would just go for the ps3, i picked up at wally mart the msg bundle that came with a 100 gift card, it also has the new rumble controller(which should have been made at the beginning, so its kind of an upgrade but not really).
anyways as for games, the 360 has seen its peek I think, where as the ps3 "should" be seeing alot of good upcoming games
i can really tell the ps3 was better made overall. its just all the fine little details are so much more than the 360. and the fact that the 360 is just a money sucking MMO pisses me off and makes me dispize it.
something that really really pisses me off about both systems thow, is ive noticed they have games out now, and you have to pay to unlock features...makes me want to throw them both out the fuckin window.

im going with the PS3 when the price drops. my PS2 has satisfied me for like 5 years now(i still play online sometimes)...no problems with it what-so-ever and i've played on it a lot.
i've played the new halo online on the 360 and it was alright. i dont like the controller that comes with the 360. i also didn't like the way the games were ran online(but im sure that's just the game).
as far as games go, once PS3 has a good game selection, im sure it'll take out the 360.
your best bet is to just go with the PS2...cheap, lots of games, and a great system.

Fuck that. If I had a choice i'd get a PC hands down but it's just too much money. For a good PC for games you'd be spending $1-2k. Right now it's weighing more on the ps3.

when i bought my ps3 it came with a voucher for a free game called PAIN.
i knew it wouldn't be that great of a game because it was valued at $8 or something. but what i didn't know was that it was really only "half" a game.
see half the options were grayed out, if you wanted to say play on a different map you had to pay. or if you wanted a different charactor to play the maps on...again pay.
and im guessing in some of the war games you might have to pay for weapon unlocks which is really shitty as its like cheater/hacking in a way....the rich have an advantage over everyone else...
its just bullshit them selling a game thats "locked" to a certain extent.

the controller is pretty bad ass you tilt it left or right so its kinda like a steering wheel. there's this game called lair and you controll this dragon the whole game doing that, ive only played the first few levels but its interesting playing like that.
but im not sure if its these new duel shock controlers or the old ones are like this too, but it seems like theres 2 much deadzone on detecting the tilt in the middle. so i have to tilt it a bit more than i feel you should before it moves you.

Exclusive Games: Xbox 360 is winning. Mainly because I hate most of the oriental games that sony puts out ex: Final Fantasy. Still don't know what I should get. Are they coming out with a new Tekan?

here's a list

yah they do both have some good games coming out, but if your ever going to play your games online you need to ask yourself if you feel like paying for that or not, its one of the bigger choices i think

I bought a 360 2 years ago and never looked back. It definitely sweeps in exclusives. A few moregood exclusive titles...Bioshock, Condemned, Fallout 3 (I think)....
I love the controller. I can't stand the Playstation controller. It was good until they put those shitty sticks on it. There's no tension, they're so huge, and they are so awkwardly positioned.
Anyways, PS3 fanboys have been telling me that THIS YEAR is going to be the year that the PS3 comes out on top with all these sweet new games for years, and it just never seems to happen.
I don't mind paying $50/year to play online with Xbox360. It keeps a centralized system, so you can see what you friends are playing, message them no matter what game they are in, invite them to your game no matter what they are doing, etc. etc. Plus there is automatic updates, and lots of cool new shit for games all the time. As far as charging for map packs goes, yes, they do initially, but after a month or two they release 'em for free anyways...

the live marketplace is really convenient if you don't mind spending a few bucks here and there. the movie selection is pretty good and you can get high def versions in a matter of minutes.

the ps3 has updates for games as well, bioshock, condemded, and fallout3 are all on the ps3 too i believe.
i think the main xbox exclusives are gears of war, mass effect, and fable, halos.
for the ps3, MSG4 is a great game. final fantasys have great indepth storys that draw you in if your into that.
i actually thought resident evil 5 was an exclusive but apparently its not

here ill help you out with the game list
check out uncharted http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26387480
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26094596
just got done looking at both of these lists and they don't seem complete so you'll still need to look at the ign lists, and also look at upcoming games.
i notice the same games get a better rating on the 360 than the ps3. ive heard that the 360 has a bit better graphics at the moment so im wondering if thats why. however ive never seen the same game side by side yet. overall the 360 is prob more geared towards gaming, but also over charges you for things. the ps3 is more geared towards overall entertainment,elegance(looks and electric "touch" buttons, a quiter fans), and a bit more freedom.

You don't actually have to buy a Microsoft HD. You can use any USB2.0 hard drive with the Xbox360.
Plus, the media streaming from PC->TV is just badass. I use that more than I use it for playing games, I think.

So any media format that is supported by windows media player (avi, mp3 are the big ones for me, but there are lots of others) you can play on your TV by hooking up your Xbox360 to your PC with a USB cable.
I don't have cable TV, or even an antennae...because I don't need them. I just download any TV shows or movies I want to watch to my PC and then play them through the Xbox on the TV. This works with music and such as well if you have a surround sound system hooked to the TV.

Nice. WOW, this discussion has turned to a PS3 vs XBOX type thread that gets repeated everywhere. How about the online game play

ive played bad company on the ps3 (the demo). gameplay was very smooth. i don't recall hearing any mic's i think that may be one issue with the ps3 at this time. some games support them some don't, but that may change with updates by sony in the future. but then again it is free

If you get the 360, drop the $60 and get the wireless headset. It's so comfy, the speaker is awesome, and the mic kicks ass! Totally worth it.

you can use bluetooth headsets on the ps3 like the ones you get with cellphones. i tried the one that came with the xbox 360 and totally didn't like that thing. i could barely hear people and it was fuzzy, so either one you get expect to buy a headset if you game online.
with the ps3 be sure to check out this thread

Yeah, the headset that comes with the 360 is okay...but they do break really easily if you sit on them accidentally (speaking from experience). That is pretty cool that you can use a bluetooth headset from a phone for PS3, but I wouldn't use it even if I had one. I think people walking around with those things on look like total assholes

Well I wouldn't mind using it for gaming at all.
I'm just saying even if I had a headset with the functionality to connect to a phone that I would only use it for gaming anyways.
Headsets are totally for talkin' trash

aw ok i gotcha now
to the op here's a few links i think this first one is talking about in game chat is coming soon but i dunno its hard to follow
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&thread.id=3028120&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
and this one kinda talks about what is already available, i think with the recent update the differences between the market on xbox and ps3 are very similar now. its mostly just the ingame chat far as i can tell. if you have a psp then you can do some cool things with that as well
http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Network

Im thinking about getting a new system as well but I have already decided on the PS3, Mostly becouse i have a 47" 1080p LCD thats begging for some bluerays, secondly becouse of Grand Turismo 5 which will only be availible for the PS3.
I also think that the PS3 is a little more future proof, due to the fact that it is more powerfull and it has a Blueray player.
Eventually games will be realeased that take advantage of the full 25-50gb availible on the discs for the PS3. If this becomes the norm, you can kiss the 360 obsolete.
And for the poeple that think that wont happen, im old enought to remember the same arguement in the Dreamcast vs. PS2 war. No one thought you would ever need more than 600mb for a console game. They were wrong! Blue ray will do for the next gen systems what DVD did for the last, yes it will be that drastic.

Go with the 360...you can modify the firmware allowing you to play copies, meaning you just rent the games and burn them to dl/dvd <--and this is very easy to do. You can also play on xboxlive with copies using the latest stealth firmware
So instead of buying one title, you just rent 10 top titles at your local video store...pick up a 10 pack of dl/verbs for 12 bux and your good to go.
X360 can also run Linux if you know what your doing, but why bother.
The failure of x360 known as rrod can be repaired "DIY" by anyone who has $8, half a brain, and can follow very simple instructions...its known as the 'xclamp replacement' and is everywhere on the net, takes about an hour of your time and it wont fail again...ive done countless repairs on many consoles and this is a very simple fix.
Bluray is too young, with very little selection at the local rental store. I just rip,archive ...wait for br-burners and recordable media to come down in price.
Also i wouldnt be the least bit surprised to see a bluray add-on available for the 360 shortly.
As you can see the x360 has everything...ps3 is gonna flop.

Keep in mind you have to get the right drive to mod a 360. My last 360 broke and when I got my new one I figured out I couldn't use this one to mod, because of the drive it is. Kind of sucks going from free games all the time to going back to buying again.

Well when you buy a 360 theirs 3 different drives that you could possibly get. One of those drives is impossible to mod, because the software isnt cracked yet. So if your looking to mod your 360 pray you get a good drive because theirs no way to tell what kind it has beforehand.

Ok I think I will put my $.02 in the thread.
I'll start buy saying I have been a PS fan longer than XBOX(I speak for the original). I was in the same debate as you and thought long and hard as to how I was going to spend my hard earned money. I knew from the start I was going to buy the best version of the console that was out.
Here's my slightly biased thoughts...
Xbox has rips you off any chance they can from accessories to their online play. Every xbox accessory is over priced. Xbox has a known history of fucking up and their systems are trash as far as I'm concerned. Everyone I know that has a 360 has sent it back after defect. When spending $400+ dollars on a system, this is unacceptable. The controller is big and bulky to me. AND you have to buy the rechargeable battery pack. As far as the exlcusive games, this hold no credibility in my eye as I am not interested in 90% of them. And whoever says XBOX has better graphics is wrong. It's the game developers making the visuals so great but give it another year and the developers will start using the full potential of the PS3 and you'll clearly see the difference.
The PS3 comes with WiFi. It's come with a blu-ray player. It has bluetooth. The controllers are charge via USB cable plugged into the system. There's an internet browser already on the system. It's slot loading, not shitty tray loading. I think it's a more modern looking, this is just my opinion though. I have 6 games or so and still need to get Bad Company, MGS, and GT(when the full version is released). Given the XBOX has been out a full year when the PS3 is released, there are going to be more games for the system. Quality of quantity IMO. But in time that will change.
If your looking to buy a more durable, longer lasting, better hardware, not propriatary, and falt out cutting edge system the answer is clear. PS3.
As far as gameplay goes. I love playing on PS3. Loading times are significantly greater. They both have downloadable content. Plus there are some cool very cheap games in the PS3 store. I absolutely HATE the XBOX menus, always have even a year before I bought my PS3. You can use headsets just like the 360. I don't like all the bullshit points you get for games on there. (I can't remember what they call it.) It's a joke to me. There are tons of users on PS3. Both support friends. Xbox live might be slightly more developed but it goddamn well better for $60/year.
All in all the PS3 offers more bang for your buck.

Re-reading through a lot of xbox reports...It breaks down a lot. If it doesn't your lucky. Drives can break too and not work. Right back to square one. LOL...I see xbox 360 though having better graphix in detail and the online play doesn't lag or is not choppy.

Yeah..that would suck. Best bet is to buy used...or buy the broken rrod 360's for next to nothing, invest $8 and have a better system than they sell in stores new.
And just cuz Lite-on doesn't plan on releasing a bluray add-on doesn't mean some other reputable H/W manufacture wont

If the server your connecting to doesn't have adequate upload speed to support all the people connecting it, there will be lag. It has less to do with the system than it does the connection. This is just my understanding, I guess it could be wrong though.
Sometimes, rarely, on the PS3 I will get into a bad host playing COD4. But I just leave and find another one and the problem is gone. I have yet to experience lag playing Bad Company which has 24 player support.
And a similar thing could be said about graphics. Currently, its the developers making the games pretty and a lot the PS3 are ported over from the XBOX. Give it time, developers will catch up to the times and you will see difference in the systems.

I don't know, but if they did I don't see how it would be relevant to making your decision on which system to buy. It wouldn't surprise me if they did but I wouldn't view it as a bad thing either.

If the ps3 had a modchip available I would more than likely buy the console...until then,fuck it.
I know you can use the dd command in linux to dump the br-game disks...now the system needs a way to launch those dumps via hdd, via modchip.
And the infectus doesnt cut it...yet! And yes you can use the infectus to downgrade the ps3 so you can use dd in linux...even for bluray video. I've even read you can stream the br-video dumps back without issue.
The wii is the easiest console to mod these days with the advent of the clip-ons...unlike the xbox1 non-solder chips, these fuggers clip right over the entire controller chip and perform very well...very solid. Beware..the new wii drive code has yet to be released, however is confirmed cracked by the sources i buy my chips from...the clip-ons will still work. so if your a complete fucking retard you can still mod your wii.

the ps3 has ethernet and wifi, oh and as far as the RROD and fixing a used 360...bad idea.
most of the 360's on ebay have already been tried to be fixed, and they resell them so its the same ones circulated over and over. there are some that havn't been modded if your "lucky". but the guys doing the fixes are always on the lookout for them to fix and resell. and that fix doesn't always work. if you get a 360 you definitly would want a newer one that has a new chipset. im not sure if it came out yet but there was talks of a new chipset on the graphics chip as well, not sure if that got released yet.
and as far as burning games, that will get you banned from xbox live. you gotta mod your dvd drive and if you goof up or microsoft updates there systems to detect it(which they will) your 360 be banned to single player only.

From what I heard...Burned games WILL NOT work on xbox 360 but the online game play is a lot better. Xbox 360 online play is a lot better. It's a lot less laggier.

Which would be kinda stupid, if they do that it will promote certain developers to use the blue ray platform, to play that game you would have to buy the blue ray player too. Again, Microsoft is getting ideas from Sega that are destined to fail. History is simply repeating itself with the xbox 360.
How long do they have to screw people before seeing the light? Hey, how are those HD-DVD add-on drives working out. Just more cash down the drain, thanks to a company that doesnt give a shit about quality products, and will release anything on a whim.
In 2-3 years, Microsoft will either have to release a new system that can keep up with the PS3, or the 360 will be forgotten.
IMO, Microsoft products like the Zune and Xbox, are ill thought out peices of shit that are rushed to marketing to make a buck. And now that everyone has a broken xbox in their closet people are starting to see that for themselves.

hop off the bandwagon fagboy, the only part of the 360 that people don't like is the fact that they break easily, but that was past generations. the newer gen 360s are more hardy and frankly-- even without bluray i don't see the 360 falling. thanks for talking out your asshole though

Yea I wouldn’t like that either.
I had to deal with the same flames when I said Blue-ray was going to crush HD-DVD, when the PS3 was first released. Why? Because it's a superior platform. And now look where we are.
Why is it me that has to school all the newbs on this shit?
I guess it doesn’t matter for people like you, when you xbox bites the dust or becomes obsolete mommy and daddy will be there to buy you a new toy.
If what your saying is true, and xbox doesn’t fail. It would go against everything we have seen in the past with game consoles, and that would be rather impressive on Microsoft’s behalf.

The games I'm fitting to buy are
GTA IV Battle Field 2: Bad Company Rainbow Six 2 Vegas or something like that Call Of Duty 4
I'm more heading for BF2 and GTA IV first time. The only things that suck with the xbox at least with my knowledge are the 3 red ring of death, overheating, a broken drive?
I agree, Xbox 360 is out to get money. Which fucked up crooked company would pay to dl mods and maps? To pay to go online? To make everything separate so you go broke and end up with a broken system? PS3 IS A STRONGER system but IMHO Xbox 360 has better online play.

I don’t own either, and if online play is the deciding factor than I may vary well go with the xbox.
I just look at the PS3 as a better value because it’s not a shotty product like the xbox. When I can only think of one friend out of every xbox owner I know who hasn’t had at least one xbox die on them. It certainly qualifies as a shotty product.
I'd consider buying the xbox if it where cheaper and guaranteed hackable, but its not either of those things. And since I have an HD TV, blue-ray is probably more important for me than it is to you. I’m also in the position where $400 is already too much for a console, so I sure as hell don’t want to be buying two of them, and the PS3 seems like it will outlast the xbox in performance and in quality.
I did enjoy my old school Xbox a lot, and I prefer the xbox controller over the PS3, even still. I’m too disappointed in the 360 to go that rout. It seems like for what you get, that system should be at least $100 cheaper than the PS3
Edit to say,

This is a really shitty perspective. Have standards really become that low? Since when is it acceptable for something so expensive to just break, left to the consumer to fix?
And you end up with spoiled kids saying ignorant shit like " the only part of the 360 that people don't like is the fact that they break easily,"
This is why companies like Microsoft have no standards, I can imagine the board meetings: “If the shit breaks, the kids will either buy a new one or fix it themselves"

The simple answer is the ps3. I'll tell you why: you have to PAY to play online with the 360...with a ps3, it's free...there you go...same experience, but one's free and the other's not...I have both and I actually prefer the ps3 online...I usually only play the xbox exclusives on my 360, but get multi platform games (Madden, NCAA 09, etc...) for my ps3...

If it's new and fails in less than a year its covered by warranty ...i believe its 3 years now.
If you own a ps3 you actually have to buy the games...what a drag.

No there's not...have you even heard of the c4e stealth firmware. It WAS a problem with improper creation of copies.
These improper copies will NOT even boot on an x360 with the LATEST STEALTH FW so this is not a problem anymore and hasn't been for a LONG time.

You wont get the same system back...it'll be a new system or a refurbished "like new" system. Thats why most people just drop the $8 and permanently fix the problem themselves.

So much ignorance/misinformation in this thread.
If you are a gamer the choice should be simple enough, which system has the games you like? Do you like asian style games or developers? Go with PS3. Do you like FPS's and online play? Go with 360.
If the exclusives from each console dont sway you, then I think it is pretty much widely accepted that 3rd party games are better on the Xbox due to the complexity of the Cell, but with time that line will blur and most likely already is even.
As for failure rate, yes the initial batch of 360s had problems, there is a 3 year warranty but my launch 360 is going strong. Just make sure it has enough ventilation so it does not overheat.

GTA IV, Rainbow Six Las Vegas 2, Battle Field 2 Bad Company, Maybe a tekkan and I think it's coming out for Xbox 360. It's already on the list to be.

its only stealth until it gets detected, im saying there's a good chance based on the history of modded dvd drives, lots of people have been banned for modding them.

the fix doesn't always work. secondly it depends on the damage that has been done. and that fix is hardly permanent...thats really some bullshit to be spreading right there.

I bought COD-MW2 for 360 when it first came out and played the single player first, then moved to MP.
I sucked so bad, i simply cannot use a controller for FPS likw COD, its always be mouse and keyboard for me, im 100% BETTER wit a mouse, but i went and playd it on my friends ps3 and i noticed i was alot better then i was on 360, and the controls seemed better to use.
does anyone else notice this?
