that is very true but I won't even bother buying a PS3, I just gotta save up some money, buy it, then quit my job of working with my dad at a resturaunt.

Arcanine October 4th, 2008 10:33 PM

I think it all depends on what sort of games everyone wants, and if it's just on that system. There is a PS3 and a 360 in this house, and I try to buy games for both. But it's just the 360 gets more use due to good online, and due to good games.

Yu_&_Rei October 4th, 2008 10:37 PM

Well I haven't checked how much a 360 is, I'm getting a paycheck of about $455 I think, is that enough for a 360?

Miyukii October 5th, 2008 12:42 AM

$445? >_< Woah. Well it seems alot, but convert it to pounds, it would be something like £200 or I dunno...And if you were here in England, you'd definitley be able to buy it.

depends on what country you live in and the best store to get store from sells a 360 for

Yeah, I've been thinking of getting one too, although I find the menu navigation rather dumbfounding. >.<

Personally, I'd rather have a Wii (which I have), mostly because it has all the games I like (Zelda, Mario...etc.) I'm not really into online gaming (mainly because of all the snot-nosed n00bs that disconnect if they're about to lose and call you stupid for no reason.) And, Graphics. Woo...Graphics, I don't care if a game looks bad, the storyline and features is what's important to me. I liked ruby/sapphire because it had one of the coolest stories ever, even though the tiles weren't that great.

I have played a 360 before, and the controller felt wierd to me. Plus, I don't really like Halo and all that. And half the games for the 360 are sports and crap like that. (Yes, I know I'm exxagerating, but to me it sure seems like it.)

Although I wouldn't mind playing Tales of Vesparia, but shelling out $470 for a console and the game is ridiculous.

Miyukii October 5th, 2008 1:02 AM

Is this more Xbox 360 chat? I don't really get it. I don't really like Xbox's for the lack of good quality games!

It has all the good PS3 games though, and for a much cheaper price.
XBox 360 > PS3

you're crazy, xbox 360 games here cost $110+ also lucy this chat is about anything, the topic somehow got onto 360 talk

Azzurra October 5th, 2008 1:11 AM

0.o, I thought they were cheaper, I must have been wrong.
At least the console is cheaper.

THIRTY-SIX October 5th, 2008 1:13 AM

The xBox 360 games are slightly cheaper here in England. It really depends on the hype of a game.

Azzurra October 5th, 2008 1:15 AM

Yeah, here in Australia they seem to be pretty cheap, but I suppose it does depend on the kind of game, if it's a game with great ratings it'd cost a fair bit, but if it had poor ratings it'd cost half the price.

Motsuko Live October 5th, 2008 2:57 AM

Wow. In Canada they're only about $50. I can't imagine paying $110+ for an Xbox game. >.<

Counterfeit October 5th, 2008 3:14 AM

The 360 just got a pricedrop to around £120. But I heard that Sainsbury's are gonna sell it for £99.

Miyukii October 5th, 2008 4:00 AM

£99? That's cheap for a console.

Cherrim October 5th, 2008 6:12 AM

Haha, I'd never live in Australia if only because anything to do with video games is just so inflated. x_x;; Game prices are so ridiculous.

But yeah, 360 got a price drop everywhere. They're trying to latch on to some of the Wii crowd, I think. At the very least, they're pulling way ahead of the PS3 because of it. :B

Counterfeit October 5th, 2008 6:41 AM

It's crazy how much the 360 is outselling the PS3 at the moment, well...I say that, PS3 has very few good games...

And it's very expensive, which is another downfall.

Cherrim October 5th, 2008 7:56 AM

Yeah, right now, almost all the best games on PS3 are also on 360. D: So sicne the 360 is cheaper and has more exclusives, it's the more logical choice if you don't need the other things that PS3 supports (like Blu-Ray, etc.).

Counterfeit October 5th, 2008 7:59 AM

The price of the actual PS3 is fair though, It's a fancey ass peice of machinery. But it just seems too expensive in return for the games it offers.

Cherrim October 5th, 2008 8:11 AM

Oh, definitely. Especially when it first came out, it was an affordable Blu-Ray player with lots of extra capabilities.

My dad actually bought our PS3 for Christmas last year because he really wanted a Blu-Ray player and figured that, if he was spending lots of money on one anyway, he might as well get my brother an I a game console at the same time. XD We mostly just use ours for watching Blu-Ray and DVDs (since it upconverts them so nicely).

Lusankya October 5th, 2008 8:15 AM

If you're looking for a game console, then the 360 outclasses the PS3 by a long shot. The PS3's sole advantage is that it doubles as a Blu-Ray player.

THIRTY-SIX October 5th, 2008 8:17 AM

Oh I've been getting so many blu-ray dvds lately… I can't wait to play em on my PS3… I'm mean I can on my mac but it slows everything down so much. :<

Slows everything down? If you're watching a movie, why try to do anything else on your computer while doing so?

THIRTY-SIX October 5th, 2008 8:22 AM

I also run Vuze in the background…
Sometimes the video goes out of sync. xD
