Guys pleased help.... Im so P Oed or however you say it. My 360 RROD , only 1 light. I have to send it to microsoft. So what im wondering is that i had the PS3 b4 i had the 360 and sold my PS3 because of the games, dashboard, ect. But now the PS3 has all of that to. SHould i sell my 30 and get the PS3? FANBOYS WELCOME

I got the Xbox 306 ELITE 4 mo ago

Also guys i think like the Xbox and Wii are dead. In the next gen marketplace they will HAVE to use blueray in order to even compete in the market. Plus blueray disc can hold up to 400gb. On one disc compared to Microsoft's dual layer DVD which is only 9gb

Yeah but that makes you think, is all that 400gb really necessary to a game?

Anyway, fix your awful spelling mistakes/grammar and then i'll think about answering the question at hand.

First off, RROD is not 1 red light. I am pretty sure you don't have to send your xbox in because of that. Second, what do you mean, the PS3 has that stuff? It still has hardly any games, and most of those the xbox has as well. Now, I am no fanboy, but I'd rather be playing on a 360 controller than a PS3, because the analog sticks suck.

You also brought up blu-ray? That isn't next gen gaming at all. That's entertainment, which is completely different. Name all the positives of owning a PS3 that an Xbox 360 doesn't have, cause I bet you they are "Blu-Ray, Internet, Blue-Tooth, etc." If you want an entertainment system, get a PS3, but if you want a gaming console, it definitely does not succeed. Anyway, back to blu-ray. Blu-Ray has longer start up, so you initial game loading times will be longer. Also, that much space is not helpful unless you have games like MGS 4, which is a huge exception. I also want to bring up the fact that you have to download the games to the PS3 hard drive (which is internal, not conveniently external) and they have significantly smaller hard drives than that of a 360 Elite, and since their games hog space.

Do you have a lot of empty space on your shelves? You'll need it because the PS3 is a brick, and has a rounded top so you can't even put anything on top. That is partially due to the internal disk drive, which breaks just like the xbox has RROD. What's more, is the fact that Sony's customer services sucks, and you are forced to pay at least shipping to get your PS repaired.

Honestly, do not sell your box just because you got a red light, and then get a PS3. If you want a gaming console, get an Xbox first, not a PS. If you already have the box, then get the PS, because it is worth the money. With a PS you are paying for an entrainment system, and that is why gaming on it fails.

Ok I will respond to each thing you said one at a time.

Thing the PS3 has the Xbox 360 doesn't you right those are three. And there a very good three. Although yes it is a home entertainment system. That also has made strives in the Online play industry and has revolutionized it with the use of blueray. Also you say oh you can't replace the hard drive. YOu sir are wrong. The PS3 runs a laptop hard drive and can hold up to 750gb of memory. YOu can't say it has no good online and I can tell you right now it is getting slowly better then the 360 marketplace. And BTW you can change the PS3 hard drive from 80gb to 320gb for 100$ , for 100$ you can buy a 60gb for the 360............... The 360's failure rate is 35.67 percent. The PS3 has a failure percent of .01 to .001. Oh on gaming it fails..... Not really, with the innovation of HOME it brings that factor that attracts people from all sorts of walks of life. Im not gonna touch on that.... Ok im done... Ohhh cool down. Lol don't get me started. Oh and the PS3 is just as thick as the 360. Or a little thicker and a little taller. But it still looks smaller because of the concave. And yes the costumer support isn't ideal but the only reason the Xbox console has such good support is because of its high failure rate, they need it. Also Microsoft and nintendo are not gonna last next gen because they don't have blueray. While bluray has 400gb , DVD only has 9gb , they won't last sorry. And the price to get the 360 to have everything the Ps3 has out of the box is around 600-700 instead of the 400 for the PS3

Keep in mind this is a rebuttal of my thoughts because i want to get them straight not a w/e you want to call it. ( sorry for spelling to stressed)

IF you ask a question and already have a biased view on it, don't bother asking the question.

The PS3 runs a laptop hard drive and can hold up to 750gb of memory.
-While bluray has 400gb
-I also want to bring up the fact that you have to download the games to the PS3 hard drive

So one game is 400gb, and the memory is only 750?

Honestly tell me, what games are on the PS3 that aren't on the 360?

360 gives you options, it's not as 'advanced' as PS3, but it certainly has a bit of an edge on it.

And have you heard of the new chips in 360's? The Falcon? The Jasper?

Blueray is a fucking joke anyway. It's not like most of the games on the PS3 really took advantage of it.

Transactionzero · 01-02-2009

There is no console war. Nor should there be any stress in getting one red light on a 360. I suggest you let yourself cool off from being stressed and actually take into consideration what some members are saying.

What makes a system is it's games. Without good games a system will suffer immensely. The xbox 360 has a ton of games that are decent and many games that are amazing. The Wii has some unique games that involve moving. The PS3 still does not have a huge line up of games.

Getting rid of your xbox 360 to get a PS3 is like throwing your only gun into a pit of zombies, again. You will regret it, again.

If you really think the grass is really greenier on the other side. Send in your xbox for repair or try replacing the cables. Save your money and be patient and buy a PS3.

YOu don't download the entire game maybe like 512-1gb just to make it run faster. What edge does it have on the PS3 its internet options and now more advance on the PS3. Yes i have but the Cell and the new cell v2 are still much faster. And the Falcon and Jasper upgrade the GPU now CPU so get over it games mainly need the CPU and the 360 is locked not non share that power while the PS3 can share it between its areas. Your right the blueray for now is not being taken advantage of, but some games such as little big planet, Home and MGS4 have really taken advantage of it. Where will the 360 be next gen without blueray..... no where

My personal opinion summarised and simplified - Don't waste your money on a PS3.

True, the games are yet to fully utilize the ENORMOUS space that a blu ray disc can hold. But you can really tell a difference between 1080i and 1080p when watching a film.

I borrowed Little Big Planet last night for two days. I had family over that night so I couldn't get on the PS3. When I finally got a chance to play, I was pretty tired. I just wanted to play the game for half an hour or so and do something else. Well, I put in Little Big planet. It had to download an update, then it had to download ANOTHER update, then the game itself wasn't speedy to load. I waited about 25-30 minutes just to play 1 game for about 20 minutes. Pardon my french but that's fucking ridiculous.
The initial download of the game supposedly makes it quicker to play afterwards but other than there being no 20 minutes of downloading, I noticed no speed increase in the load times.

I didn't enjoy Little Big Planet, I got about 4 levels deep became bored.

The world isn't ready for Blu Ray. Sure there are the people who just love that beautiful picture but not everyone is willing to fork out nearly a grand just for a PS3. I say nearly a grand because that's about how much it takes to make it worth anything(enjoyment-wise).

I lol'd at that. PS3, 360, Wii are the next gen consoles(for now). And the way you've said that implies that the 360 will have no sucessor.

IMO, the best use you'll get out of a PS3 is watching Blu Ray movies. And even then you're MUCH better off getting a stand alone Blu Ray player as the PS3 is far from what the normal person would call user friendly.

From what I heard xbox 360 compared to the ps3, xbox 360 wins in my opinion. I like it because all my favorite games are on it and plus I have no friends from school that play ps3 online. All I hear is 360, so why would I want a ps3 when all my friends are playing 360. It may and may not be the same around where you live.

Also I believe the RROD has 3 rings not 1 so either you made a mistake in typing or you really meant 3 rings who knows.

But in conclusion, yes I dont have the details and data like the rest to, but this is a FH community and we all ( by my knowledge ) know what we are talking about when it comes to this type of stuff.
