Stop the Hate, You're Not That Cool

The on going rivalry between the PS3 and Xbox 360 owners has got to stop. First of all it's not "your" system. You had nothing to do with the development; design, the pricing or the engineering of the system so SHUT THE FUCK UP! Also, when shitty games are released for the systems, it's not the hardware’s fault, it's the lazy ass / inexperienced or pressed for time developers fault that the game looks and plays like dirt. Now as far as launch titles go, 90% of all launch titles are crap, the developers don’t have enough time to play around with the system and are not familiar with the new components in the system. Good things come to those who wait. Only recently has the X Box 360 started to show it's true potential. GoW is a fantastic, short, sweet and fun to look at game. Lets hope there is more where that came from really soon.

Now I understand that when a customer drops $500 + accessories they can get pretty emotional. But get over your self. Graphics will fluctuate from game to game, no matter what system it's on. I went into some further investigation to prove my point and did some comparing of games that were out for both systems. While some looked better for the PS3, they ran smoother with a higher frame rate on the 360. Some games looked identical, others had a noticeable difference from level to level, but when it came down to it, a coin toss was the only way to decide wich console made the game "better".

Ideally it would be nice to own both systems because of games that are exclusive to their consoles, but because money doesn't pour out of milk jugs, it all becomes a matter of bang for your buck. So lets weigh the options. BOTH systems require the owner to possess an HDTV to truely take advantage of the software. So there’s $2500 already. PS3 plays Blue Ray, nice feature, BUT....Blue Ray DVD’s are going to cost up to $50 per disk, that’s a little silly if you ask me. I think DVD's look great. Both systems have wireless controllers, 360 rumbles ps3 does not. PS3 has TILT technology, 360 does not. I can imagine a couple of years down the road, both the rumble and tilt will be available for both systems, it's only just a matter of time and money. All and all the money you save not having to buy a separate Blue Ray player when owning a PS3vmore then makes up for the 360's more affordable price range. The only deciding factor left is; what games would you rather play that are exclusive to your system

What ever it is you choose, know that it's YOUR decision, that doesn't mean you're right and everyone else is wrong. Some console biases out there are worst then Jehovah witnesses, it disgusts me.

Keep playing players; just don't tell me yours is better than mine.

Did I touch a nerve with my LASH-OUT against the Ps3?

maybe a 700 dollar price tag and no good games and a year later release date and a lack of exclusives (Virtua Fighter 5 and Assassin's Creed, welcome to the 360) will do that to a person, lol





hahaha, all in good fun

If I had a friend who told me he spent $700+ to play Genji then wave his e-peen in my face because he also can watch Taladega Nights in high def, I'd tell him to lick my nuts in 1080p.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the PS3, I'm just smart enough not to buy one, and I'm enough of an asshole to ridicule anyone who does spend money on Sony's Blue Ray (yeah I added the E, thats how blue is spelled) trojan horse. This is all so they can boast that at the end of 2007, X amount of people have blue ray players in their homes. The launch games, a vast majority developed by developers under an exclusive contract with Sony, all lick turd, except for the more than decent Resistance:FoM, and the freebie GT HD download. Speaking of, its purdy, but not worth the price of admission, especially with the revelation that there will never be rumble/force feedback in any games, making any of the Logitech uber pwnage steering wheels totally useless.

Not a bash though...This is just my opinion.

Oh yeah and hey Terence. I dig the blog. =D

whoever this Chris kid is, he's fucking smart.

I'm almost compelled to buy an HD-DVD attachment for my 360 just... just to SPITE Sony's arrogance in releasing a movie player that also happens to play games, lol
