Even though there are rumors that seem very convincing of a ps3 slim
and a price cut, I'm just basing this off my experiences, my
preferences, and my consoles.
1. Design
The 360 although being white, does fit into my space nicely, its just
that ugly big grey power block that annoys me, but it doesn't bother me
too much when its behind my tv stand. I also bought an intercooler for
the 360 which attaches to the back. The fan is just way too loud,
especially with the intercooler. Since this is my second 360, I'm
taking a lot care of it, to make sure it doesn't get RROD. The PS3 on
the other hand is sexy, and reliable. I own the 60gb console(the
sexiest sku, i can explain later why later) I've noticed that its a
dust magnet though. The power cable and hdmi cable aren't much of a
bother. The fan is somewhat loud, but then you turn on the 360, and it
feels like its not running. And usually, the sound from the games
drains out the fan noise.
PS3 is the clear winner here
-more reliable
-less noisy
-sexier
2. User Interface
Both interfaces feel solid. The NXE just feels good to use. There's no
problem with loading in game dashboard, and no lag. The simplicity of
the xmb makes it feel nice to use. Everything's laid out easily and
organized simply. In-game, the xmb can get a little laggy(sometimes),
and trophies take some time to load, but nonetheless, it feels simple
and easy to use.
This one's a tie
-both are solid interfaces
3. Out of the Box features
Okay, I don't think I need a description for this:
PS3 clearly takes this round
-bluray
-bluetooth
-wifi(browser)
4. Software
I'll start off by saying that I buy psn games, single player games, and
exclusives for my ps3. I buy most multiplat multiplayer games on
360(mainly because I like the controller better, and most of my friends
have 360's so...) Both consoles have some killer exclusives, but I
think we all can agree, this year and early 2010(im looking at god of
war specifically), the ps3 has the best exclusives list. IN MY OPINION,
ps3 exclusives seem to dominate, but multiplats is where it seems to
lack. But, these days multiplats are appearing to perform the similar
on both consoles.
This round is a tie
-both consoles have killer exclusives(with ps3 having a slight edge)
-multiplats are beginning to look similar(with 360 having a slight edge)
5. XBL vs. PSN
I remember back in the day, when psn just sucked. Now it has really
improved a lot. When you're on xbl, it just feels right. Anyone with
live knows this "feeling". It just feels good. There's no lag comparing
trophies/achievements, accepting friends requests, viewing your friends
and their profiles, everything is seamless. The $50 price tag... many
fanboys argue that psn has the useful features for free, and its
great... psn gets the job done, but that $50 per year gives you a great
experiences when dealing with the friends list.
the 360 wins this round
- better organized friends list
- better connected
Of course everyone has different opinions and feelings toward this
matter. There's a lot more categories to talk about that either the ps3
of the 360 could've won. It all comes down to this, get whatever you
feel is right, or get both. Both are great systems. In my opinion, the
360 feels good to use. The ps3 has amazing games.
A fresh datamine of Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem has hinted at the game's upcoming minigame bringing back Mercenaries mode.
The game has been properly cracked by voices38, no Hypervisor bypass shit. It actually runs better without Denuvo. From Tom's Hardware: "Denuvo properly cracked in Resident Evil: Requiem, bypasses become plug-and-play — cracked version runs faster, smoother, and uses way less VRAM and RAM" https://www.tomshardware.co... I personally don't give a shit about RE anymore, same crap every year it seems, but I got to give to voices 38 good job.🙌
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Replaced is a staggering visual achievement, blending 2.5D retro-futurism with a captivatingly grim premise.
Considering the categories used, this was a really good attempt to be fair and balanced. I know what you mean about the 60gb PS3 being a dust magnet. I also find that to be the case with my Elite. My house is not spotless but we keep it clean. Somehow the dust manages to find it's way to both my PS3 and 360. I think the dust is what killed my PS3. I'll be getting it fixed soon enough.
Edit: For those that don't know, Bruce beat the crap out of Chuck.
QFT
So, the 360 being Chuck Norris means it will beat out the PS3? Right?!
I mean...... not trying to be funny or nothing but Chuck is still with us and unfortunately Bruce isn't.
Just sayin, picture wise. :)
Not a bad blog, I use the ps3 but i'm no 360 hater either.
So you use an intercooler do ya? Well this may keep your 360 from the big melt down but the problem with intercoolers are they tend to suck in the dust.Consoles are dust magnets to begin with so this may not be such a good idea considering dust also kills consoles.
Anyway best of luck .
The 360 design is horrilble. Possibly worst ever. Then they advertise it right side up, wich is the surest way to get RROD. I have a shiny 60gig model. The dust shows more. But when I wipe it I get less dust then 360. White sucks. It's doesn't show dust, and it shows dirt on the controller.
