@Hyperbomb69 You haven't used Xbox-live have you? The Xbox is a fantastic brand with a amazing online service, and the games are just fine, thank goodness I now have both consoles so I compare fairly, I totally disagree with you.
I cannot be bothered to speculate, one way or the other they will stick around, MS have invested way too much into Xbox-live to assume people will accept it as a mobile app or PC only, PSN needs work but mainly with the online gaming side of things, the content is good enough, my main gripe is the gaming side, it feels unfinished, Xbox-live shows how it's done on that side, the only way any of them leave the gaming market is if they are financially forced to.
I have played on PSN before but only for a short while previously, I now have a PS3 and bought MW2 cheap and I cannot believe the amount of cheaters, I also hear that if you are in a game and someone runs a hack that you can get banned, WTF how does that work? pretty much every game I have played in has a hacker, is it true you can get banned for other peoples hacks that you have nothing to do with? I mean it's bad enough when players are using the high jump hack, but then we have to put ...
I got my kid a PS3 for Christmas and it's fantastic, already played UC2/3 and KZ3 and also have MW2, now don't get me wrong I am really happy with the PS3 but until you have both consoles then you cannot really appreciate the difference between PSN and Xbox-live, it makes a lot of difference to me, they are both really great consoles but do not underestimate games like Gears and Forza or Halo when comparing exclusives, the PS3 and Xbox-360 both have their strengths and weaknesses, but...
COD would be great, but it's broken, too easy to cheat, I have not played CODMW3, I have only played CODMW2 on PSN but it's horrible at times, not a fault with PSN, apart from the chat issues PSN seems just fine, I think MW3 is better on Xbox-live due to regular updates, I do not recall the jumping cheat on Xbox-live? but it's a while since I went on Xbox-live with ?CODMW2 so perhaps it was on there also? but it's the stupid spawn shit I can stand e.g. not only can ground troo...
Why? because I now own both consoles and have a honest opinion, get over yourself, KZ3 online is ok but it needs to evolve, you feel too boxed in, Halo is like a SC-FI BF3, freedom to move around land and air (sea also in BF3's case), COD would be great online other than the fact it's a broken mess full of cheaters.
BTW I have a typo above, I meant to say KZ3 does not match any Halo that is online, the single player is debatable.
I disagree, I think KZ3 is overated, the Uncharted series is fantastic.
KZ3 and Halo Reach are £7.00 at Morrisons, I have not finished KZ3 yet but so far IMO Halo Reach is the better game, I have not played Rage at all so I wouldn't know how good that is, one thing I can tell you is that KZ3 does not come close the any online Halo but having said that I would rather play KZ3 online than the once great COD series, what a mess the online has become, that is how they treat their fanbase, I suppose they will tell us we need to go COD elite if they have not a...
MW sucks, just been on MW2 on PSN and it's a joke, whats with the high jump rubbish? I hope BF3 plays better on PSN.
It's the Xbox-live affect, the online is superior, the PS3 is a great console though, it's just the online is not quite there yet, it plays great but is let down by the comms.
Regards some of the comments, I just played UC2 and just entered the location within the desert on UC3 and I must say that UC2 for the most part appeared more impressive, but once you got to the sea/boat level and the desert UC3 was more impressive by far IMO, there are things I have not liked about UC2 and UC3, UC3 seems longer, finished UC2 way too quick, so far I am happier with UC3. I think the PS3 is a impressive console, just a shame PSN is not on the same level as Xbox-live. Back on to...
@ZeroChaos is MAG any good then?
@iamamedic This is why they need more categories, different game types require different art direction, so you cannot say UC3 has better art direction than BF3 because they have different requirements don't they.
I have not played MW3 yet, i played Battlefield 3 that I rented for the Xbox-360 and recently bought MW2 cheap for the PS3, I used to enjoy that game but it felt so old hat next to BF3, and I hear MW3 is not much different, can anyone tell me how BF3 compares to the 360 version on PS3?
UC3 looks amazing but I cannot believe that certain sites voted the graphics better than this.
@HmongAmerican Thanks, I will give that a try.
@StrongMan with all due respect Youtube on Xbox-360 is HD and a lot better, the dash is a big improvement also and much more user friendly, gameswise I was always happy with the 360 exclusives or not, we have just got a PS3 and yes it's a great console, but thank goodness I finally have both so I can avoid these silly arguments, I like them both.
Seems like a bias award to me, who does the judging? as always it's just someones opinion, doesn't mean we all share it, for the record i think it's about time we have joint awards, because you could argue any of the games mentioned and ones that were not could win this award, I liked the look of most of them.
This does not make sense, every transaction I make with paypal requires a username and password, I never used it on Xbox-live, so are you telling me that on Xbox-live it takes payments automatically?
@LNDCalling It wouldn't work though because all those loyal to the Xbox console brand are not sure to be PC fans, imagine the potential for the loss of the userbase, the Xbox brand belongs under the TV for now, consoles are still a bit of a way off from being a all in one console/PC hybrid, or at least that is what I think, personally I think onlive will test a lot of theories because you can play it on just about anything, but I still think people like their consoles in their current for...
