After owning the Xbox 360 since its launch and my brothers 360 getting the red ring of death and then he brought the Sony PS3, I thought I would buy the PS3 as well just over a month ago.
I first got addicted to Warhawk and some other games on the PS3, but a week after Halo 3 came out I have found myself playing Halo 3 90% of the time now.
Now that Call of Duty 4 is coming I have to decide which games console to buy it on, the Xbox 360 or Sony PS3?
Both consoles are great in my eyes, but as I have been back on the 360 and love the chat features it makes me think.
What console will you be buying Call of Duty 4 on?

Well if your a multiplayer whore, the 360 version is going to have TrueSkill ranking, more people playing online, and a better interface for inviting friends.
So can any loser kid write a review on this site or what..lol omg spelling and gramatical errors everywhere.
This is retarded lol…get it on PS3 and shut up lol.
Oh yeah, also Achievements and Rumble. Though the PS3 version might support rumble but your not going to be able to get the rumble controllers till next year.
First off, the game is the exact same for both. That includes both gameplay and graphics. And thats not speculation but stated directly by Infinity Ward themselves. The only thing that really sets them apart is online. PSN is good but XboxLive is far better. As mentioned it’s easier to manage and hosts a far greater number of players.
Again, both versions are equal but when it comes to online, Xbox has the upperhand. I was lucky enough to get into the MP beta for CoD4 and absolutly loved it. I found it better then Halo 3’s MP.
So I’d say get the 360 version for Xboxlive.
But i thought the ps3 is better than the 360? not! after a year the ps3 library still continues to suck and will always be lagging behind the 360! blu ray? bull! we can put full length movies mastered in hd on dvd, so games will always have room on dvd! more sony lies to push blu ray!
check this out if you still “dont believe”

cod4 may look the same on both systems, but trust me, youll get better gameplay and 10 times better online play on the 360. call me a fanboy all you want, i had the 60g ps3 and finally got smart and traded foe 360! best decision (and it was a hard one)i ever made. sony can keep the blu ray player, i want to play games!! p.s.- the ps3 is a total bad ass with blu ray!
I’ll get in on the PS3 so when my 360 gets the “Red ring of Death”, I’ll still have something to play

You are either 7 years old or a retard. Possibly both. The upcoming lineup for the 360 is far stronger than for the 360. There are also 99 exclusives released or due to be released which is far more than on the 360.
Here are some of next years PS3 exclusive releases.
Metal Gear Solid 4
Gran Turismo 5
Final Fantasy 13
Tekken 6
LittleBigPlanet
Killzone 2
L.A. Noire
The Agency
Coded Arms: Assault
Eight Days
FIA World Touring Car Championship
The Getaway 3
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
Red Dead Revolver 2
Heavy Rain
Infamous
If you already have a Xbox live gold account then get COD4 on the 360 (as long as you are willing to pay for the rest of your life to be able to play it online whenever you want to). On the other hand for anyone reading who doesnt own either console and wants to play online for free they should get a PS3.
The PS3s free online gameplay is a million times better than the 360’s free service.
“The upcoming lineup for the 360 is far stronger than for the 360.”
Should have said ‘lineup for the PS3′ obviously lol
BTW if anyone is interested in just how crap next years exclusive lineup for the 360 is, just check out this list of games:
Banjo-Kazooie 3
Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2
Dogtag
Fable 2
Magna Carta 2
Mobile Ops: The One Year War
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Before you listen to anyone here… or anyone who is an exclusive developer for a console (MGS, Halo, Etc…) Read what a developer for all consoles said about the ps3 and it’s “exclusive” line-up. I’ll summarize. He said it sucks, and exclusives for the ps3 will continue to suck. Read for yourself here.

go back to school dumbass!!
and by the way, DELAYED- this is what you will get!! haha and mgs4 will come to the 360! say it is not so all you want. hideo is spending too much money for this and will want to capitolize on the shitload of 360`s already in circulation! have you even played psn? i have and it dont even compare with live!! you are an idiot fanboy for sony. you get what you pay for, unless you buy a ps3!! haha
fanboys rock!! sony is the best and thats all it is!! we will get halo now!! the ps3 is true 1080p unlike the 360`s attempt(only 1080i) the ps3 is way better than the 360 because it has the cell! and its black! all you xbox fans just wait untill next year and youll be buying the lowly 40g ps3. you should have gotten on the bandwagon and bought the 60g. drakes fortune looks way better than anything 360 will ever put out, in fact drake looks better than any game in history! the graphics are on a whole different level! the faces look like photo real! cod4 even looks 10 times better ion the ps3. after next year the 360 is dead, JUST WAIT!!!
Jason Booth knows nothing. He’s just a hater and needs to go STFU!! All PS3 Game developers need to do is learn how to use the PS3s power and push all of its game to its full potential. Then the games will look 99% better than XBox Crappy. Being realistic that’s why I didn’t say 100% better. XBox Crappy does have ok graphics. XBox is just updated version of Sega Genesis. Remember what happened to Sega Genesis? Well, the same this is going to happen to XBox in a few years. Once again, Jason Booth is a hater.
First of all Mr. Luke, lets say that ONE developper is not god. It is an opinion. I am a electronic hardware/Software developper and there is certain processors that I have better result with, not because they are THE best ones but because I am more used to it. PS3 is using new technology and yes it is harder to develop for. No pain, no gain. The xbox is a canned games dedicated pc. The PS3 and the 360 are two different systems that is all.
So if if you own both system, then go rent both, compare and then go with you favorite one.
And don’t forget to have fun because that is what game systems are about !
@Luke
The site you are referring to is a post from Jason Booth, an ex Harmonix (Guitar Hero and Rock Band) developer, who’s comments have been completely discredited on his own blog.
The post was obviously to grab hits for a poorly performing blog.

This is a no brainer question. The developers of COD4 (there are two teams) said the PS3 version was the better version. So if the devs say its the better version that vetos anybody else really.
Hell EA said MAdden 08 for the 360 is the better version so no one can say the PS3 version is better. If you have the choice get the PS3 version since the Develops said they prefer that version and its the better of the two.
As for people trying to quote John Booth. Before he worked on Rock Band he was an artist, Not a developer. He helped develop for Rock Band and that was his first time developing. He is a newbie in the devs world so he really doesn’t know everything he is talking about.
It would be like me making emblems for Dodge my whole career and then one day stepping up to installing seats on a new model. Then I proclaim the Lamborgini is a pathetic car because only its parts can be used only on Lamborginis. It makes no sense to listen to this guy, he is a nobody and the new place he is starting up is in Direct competition with the Sony PS3 and Home.
Rumble and XBox Live Matchmaking make 360 a clear choice. I have both systems and PS3 has yet to match any 360 compatible release except for Oblivion. I don’t care if it’s harder to develop on or if the fill rate on the PS3 is slower, etc. the bottom line is that the 360 versions have all been better. The SixAxis implementations have all been gimmicky whereas rumble is a VERY important feature to me and I don’t want to wait until next year and pay another $50 to get it on PS3.
@IAN PS3 better online? u get what u pay for… like the PS3 network shutting down when they couldn’t handle warhawk… haha… i rather pay $50 a month for quality service on live… although i do wish the 360 was more reliable, its a work of art (if it works…)
ooops 50$/yr… not month… i would be broke by now! PS3 has 1 last chance… next holiday, after that its over…
Considering the xbox’s online capabilities (and bigger online base), the 360 is definitely the way to go for this game.
PC guy, please go to another forum, was PC mentioned at all in this thread? And by the way, nobody gives a shit about your little cheater mods, my 7 year old nephew can do them, so your not special.
pmkn4rf, I truly hate you and all pc geeks, just die.
PC if you got the specs, those guys are 300% right,
Also, sucks for those PS3 guys,
Fable 2 will be great and does any one care that 360 will have downloadable content.
I am going to get COD4 for 360 so “game on brother!”
One, i would like you to post me a link on where a COD4 developer said that the PS3 version is better.
This is the only reference of could find:
[QUOTE]Finally something i have experience with. As an artist I personally can’t see a diff. In the textures,lighting etc. No version was given more attention than the other. Like i said before I personally can’t see the diff. I have both dev kits in my office and outside the controls that the manufactured design. visually i can’t see the diff. Maybe this previewer was looking at it on a diff tv. That will make a huuuuuuuuuuge diff. Over all I think they’re pretty identical. Most important both version are just as fun.[/QUOTE]

PC games never did it for me. I grew up on joysticks and controllers. It’s like switching from Windows to Mac, I don’t see the incentives. Keyboard and mouse reminds of work so much that I don’t want to use it for gaming…lol. Plus, consoles are cheaper for the quality of hardware you receive. I can’t see spending $350 on a PC and being able to play a game like Halo 3 with the same kind of quality. I have a 360 so I might get it. I’m more interested in Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect.
Ill be buying it for PS3, for two reasons.
1) i only have the PS3
2) i love my PS3, i have played on Xbox and 360 alot, i even got to play in the 360 Beta for COD4 which was Awesome! But theres just something about the 360 controls and Interface that bugs be. It just isnt as User friendly as PS3, and the fan noise would drive me nuts. I agree Xbox live is better than PSN but dont forget that its had a huge headstart, PSN will get better these things just take time, also ive had no problems with it so far. I guess i like quality products that last and PS3 is very well made and looks great. 360 could have been better an example of this is the huge Power pack, that thing is a brick. Anyway enough said. choice is yours.
PS3 will have better games and call of duty4 for will be better on the PS3. Well since on PS3 i can put in a 700gb hardrive(PC) i can install lenuux and hahahaha i can play halo 3 and bioshock(PC games) and more on my PS3. this would be great since i like some 360 games and love a lot of PS@ gam,es and even more PS3 games. PS3 rules and is more powerful because of the cell.Naughty Dog said it was easy to make games on PS3 just the begining was hard buy now there making it with no problem with the game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS3) the grafics is a beauty. Xbox 360 looks the same but a bit more chunky. Its hard to even tell though. That proves PS3 is catching up and is surpassing the 360. PS3 has a good set of games to be here buy spring. 300 will be there and to me thats enough games in a year.
Perry, you’ve played Halo 3 and Bioshock on your PS3?! lol..Wow! Please educate us on how you achieved such a feat. How do YOU feel about your system?
@Esse
PS3 can install linux so you can potenially stream pc games from online. Bioshock is on PC and Halo 3 will be on PC so technically you can play these on your PS3. Its just such a hassle to do so.
just wait, just wait? this is all you here from ps3 boys and sony. but i heard that a year ago! this holiday season will put the 360 way over the top and the ps3 will falter! resistance is futile! why wait to play, just spend your hard earned money the smart way and buy the best system out there! the 360 is here and ready to rock, rrod? i have had one since launch and have no issues, and no lag on “live” all that sony can do is to COPY microsoft on this one because M$ destroyed sony this time around, and to all you idiots that believe the ps3 is a 10 year machine, technology is changing so fast, if you buy a pc today, in 1 year there is already a new version available! people are working at this moment on a processor that will blow away the cell in a few years(not 10) and it will probably be in the new xbox! so when the so-called xbox 720 releases, the ps3 if it isnt already gone will truly be devastated! as far as blu ray, the days of physical media are numbered, downloading hd media is so much better than buying or renting, so blu ray and hd dvd will fail. what of the ps3 then? do you actually think devs will say “oh its ok, we`ll just keep on making expensive games on blu ray disc for sony”? not. the 360 and the wii are going to be the ones duking it out this round. you sony boys keep betting on the ps3`s 10 year run, maybe in that time you will finally be able to play mgs4?
Hey One
Graphics don’t make the game. Online Does.
http://www.dailygame.net/news/archives/006696.php
“Still, as strong as Call of Duty 4 is shaping up to be in the gameplay department, the most immediately impressive aspect is by far its graphics. The PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions all look surprisingly similar, but that’s not due to one platform being the lead; Infinity Ward personally assured us that development occurred simultaneously on all three platforms, and that there wasn’t a base system.
With that said, the console similarities end when it comes to textures, lighting and resolutions, because those three areas make the PlayStation 3 version definitely excel over the Xbox 360 SKU.”
Perry, do me a favor and install Linux and stream/play Bioshock. I bet you you can’t. 360 has great graphics. Mass Effect is eye candy.
What no delay for the PS3 version. What a shock!
@ Hatchetforce
that wasn’t an infinity ward comment.
Here was the response from Infinity Ward on that preview.

We don’t even know if the previewer was previewing builds at the same stage of development. Infinity Ward have said they are pretty identical, so I think PS3 boys expecting a better version will most likely be disappointed.
Sorry devise, I have worked as a military advisor to games and what you are hearing from IW is politcs. You can think two differet platforms will produce identical graphics and sound if you want. If you are willing to buy that, let me talk to you about a bridge I have for sale…
Don’t fall victim to the idea that everything will be exactly the same. IW has already tried to explain away the screens. If you watch the videos and played the beta then you know the 360 has some seriosuly ugly mipmapping with texture pop that doesn’t occur in the PS3 version.
lol…What is it about PS3 fans that make me distrust them so much?! I guess misery loves company. Keep the lies alive…that’s the only way you can hope people will “Jump In” and buy that system.
Devise you’ve heard of least common denominator, right?! That’s like 7th grade material. So how you can’t understand how a multi-platform can look the same on different consoles makes me nervous about our military. What’s a military advisor anyway? Are you a part of the military? Be honest.
Get the 360, better controller, better system, rumble, and an online system that can’t be beat…XBOX LIVE.
Get it for the 360, that’s where the true hardcore gamers are, the best of the best!
Esse, yes I am still on active duty but I have done advisory work for comapnies like Redstorm. Unfortunately they don’t always take you advice.
I also did an interview that is over at xbox.com that was cleared with DA.
BTW, anyone see this:
http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=106625
I have a 360 (This name is my gamertag) but the 360 has user induced lag issue sthat are not as prevalent on the PS3. Better controller? Yes. Better ontrol? Not the same thing. Several titles have surfaced already where re,arks are the control was tighter on the PS3.
Saying the true hardcore gamers are on the 360 when the Playstation brand has a longer history is assumptive, a matter of opinion, and in many cases incorrect. On a game for game basis, I have far more 12 year olds screaming in my ear on Live versus what I encounter on PSN.
BTW, a little bird tells me 2.0 for the PS3 is just around the corner.
which console is better or has better games is not the issue here, so stop flaming at each other for nothing. I am biased, but personally I think Xbox Live is probably better than PSN, and I am also a big fan of the 360 controller, and PS controllers don’t really do it for me, as they have never won an award for them. The descision is entirely up to you, and I don’t know which is cheaper. IMO, go for the 360
u people are crazy(360 fanboys) sony will win this is the same thing that happened with the ps2 it uck its first year around and the compition dreamcast was selling like carzy no one took a chance on dvd that the ps2 had build in but people started to buy it and games came out by three years it was on top it lasted seven yrs and still going strong the ps3 is highly advanced and beats the 360s ass. Developers and publishers and industry analysists already said and keep saying it the ps3 will win in the end because since its new hardware and new everything of course it will be hard to devlop for but they will learn quickly like nauthy dog and ubisoft and make great games and do u think that a next gen game will only fit on 8gbs no lost odessy is very anticipated and it comes on four seperate discs because it cannot fit on one look at heavely sword its audio alone is 10gb they would have to put dual discs to fit it on the 360s discs and black(next gen) is on ps3 too.
@Hatchetforce
Well the fact is most PS3 and 360 games do look the same with only minor differences. Framerate has been a big issue on the PS3 but I trust that IW has done a good job.
Nice job of find issues in a Beta build. It’s Beta for a reason. Do you really think IW wouldn’t have invested time in polishing the title? Do you think a PS3 beta build would contain no flaws? Polish is pretty much all that goes on in the final stages of the project. I expect improvements.
Fall Update isn’t too far way, good luck with that 2.0.1.6 business.
Quit your crying devise. So your console didn’t get the best version this time. Boo effing hoo, you sound like a nancy boy. Now you know how PS3 owners felt. Get used to it. As developers continue to learn the PS3 and parallel processing, this will happen more often. GRAW on the PS3 with it’s hardware physics and eye candy already outclases the 360 version. It isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. The forecast looks rough…better get an umbrella.
You can get all emo if you want but if this is that upsetting then all I can say is wear some body armor and get an MC-4. You have a lot of buildings left to hurtle your corpse from. You are in for a rough ride. Those whipping days are past. Even Peter Moore stated this to be true.
Yes it was a beta build but most of the graphical settings were locked in the beta. That wasn’t the purpose of the test but rather to look at the net code and evaluate game balance. I didn’t have to look hard for that issue, and it wasn’t the only graphical problem.
There has been something of an unofficial embargo on these comparison reviews. Other than Dailygamer, IW was careful to not let people see the two versions side by side. You better get a box of Kleenex. Once the reviews start rolling, you are going to have along week.
@Hatchetforce
Everything you just said is complete crap. Time to rethink your life, solder.
I don’t know why but after reading this thread i sat on my xbox with no pants on.
I’ve broke it now… call it the brown ring of death
Whatever console you buy it for, you’ll love it.
i have to agree with Hatchetforce about the little kiddies on Xboxlive tho, there should be some kind of rule that only allows you to talk when your voice has broke. lol… No offense we’ve all been there.
Also i too saw that forum about the PS3 excelling over the 360, and i never believe everything i hear, but part of me is really excited to see. If it is the case tho, Xbox Lovers will never hear the end of it.
hatchetforce is a complete moron! the beta testing wasnt for the graphics? moron- beta is not the finished product, even graphics, moron.the ps3 is dying, just like hd dvd and blu ray( before you post about blu and hd- do some actual research, neither are hurting dvd) as far as blu ray needed for gaming? you can still fit a full movie mastered in high def + xtras on dual layered dvd. it will be a long time before anything xtra is needed, you need to quit listening to sony propaganda and paid developers to say otherwise. btw how much are you being paid mister? as far as it goes, both systems will have the same looking games pretty much from here on out, it will be exclusives that will be the difference, and sony will always try to tell all that the ps3 looks better, but sony doesnt lie do they? sony has gone up against the one company that has something they dont and it will eat them alive–MONEY. look at what M$ has done to the almighty sony since they brought the first box out, people it will only continue this way untill sony gives up and produces games only!
ok all you sony fans no absolutly nothing at all about console sales. have you seen the latest issue of micro mart? now officialy there not console fans but there honest about the whole console sales and whats going on in the market i`ll just tell you the sales figures so far `till thursday 25th october xbox 360 11.800.000 wii 11.550.000 ps3 4.800.000 xbox1 24.000.000 gamecube 22.650.000 ps2 118.000.000 the ps2 prooves it won the last generatiom console wars not because of how powerfull it was as it was by far the least advanced as the xbox1 wich had a hord more power but diddnt take off as much as ps2 did. the way things are going it looks like the wii is going to take over as the ps2 of this generation closly followed by the 360 then the old ps2 then the ps3, im not saying i dont like sony products i still enjoy playing on my psx and on my friends ps2 but as far as technology goes the ps3 is over ambitious and like the magazine says the ps3 needs more people to buy into bluray movies than the console itself. the mag states sony is paniking about xmas this year and if some thing drasticly doesnt happen fast sony coud be in big trouble especially if no one buys its 60gig ps3 (which is getting phased out in favour of the 40gig model)dont say this is made up just look for your selfs issue 976 of micro mart before this thursday as thats when the new issue comes out (its a weekly magazine mainly for pc ownlers mac owners linux owners ect just about caters for everyone)
Can we stop with all of the fanboys? I see BOTH 360 and ps3 fanboys here and you all sound like quarilling fifth graders.
Now. If the DEVELOPERS of the game say that the gave is virtually the same on both consoles then why is there arguing over which console sucks and which one doesn’t?
Nobody is going to buy a ps3 for this game. Nobody is going to buy a 360 JUST for this game.
It all depends which console you already own. If you own both, personally I’d say ps3 because more than likely you have more 360 games than ps3. (the 360 has a more ‘popular’ library of games than the ps3. The ps3 DOES have some good exclusives so don’t think me a hater for saying that.)
All personal preference.
And it’s stupid to argue PMG0rz!11!1one!1!eleven!11!11!!!shift!1 ps3 s0x 360z bet0rz!! or ps3 r0×0rzzz 36o’z gay0rzzz.
You sound retarded when you bash one console and support another.
I have owned 4 Xbox 360s. MS still ownes me a $129 check that is way over due and they only reimbursed me for 8 of the 14 weeks of LIVE I was down for. That’s great customer service. I got my HALO edition and the play and charge kit was dead out of the box.
Everyone said the PS3 would win the console war. Well, everyone except MS. But every industry analyst said it would happen, just not be the margin last gen. Figures released for EU yesterday show the PS3 outselling the 360 2:1 since the price cut and 40B release. When the October figures come in for the US people will see the HALO effect is over. I love HALO and you can see by my gamertag I run it a bit. But one game won’t float a console.
The 360 had it’s head start but that isn’t going to hold now that the PS3 is finally starting to get titles. John Carmack is a man I respect. He is the single most influential man in the history of gaming. Even he said the PS3 was a more powerful machine. And this was before the issue with parallel processing.
Like a lot of people he did not think it (parallel processing)could be done to the degree necessary to make the architecture worth while. Trying to get returns from SPUs and PPUs for Physics, AI, (and now graphics acceleration assistance) from the Cell in ways the 360 can’t, all synched to a microsecond was thought to be impossible. It isn’t. Guerrilla Games has done it and they are teaching other companies how. We are going to see some things from the PS3 the 360 just can’t do.
Storage limitation is a huge issue. Rockstar said it was crippling GTA4. Bizzare Creations could not put the maps on the disk in PGR4 they wanted. And Assassin’s Creed had issues with storage. The fact that devs even publiclly mention this means it has grown to huge proportions as a problem. It is like an iceberg, if you see a little you can bet what is going on underneath is a hell of a lot bigger.
I am a fanboy. I am a fanboy of great games and I want to see games made that are groundbreaking. Can you still have good games om DVD9? Yes. But if you want games that will break barriers, especially in 2008, you are going to need storage capacity and you are going to neeed a new way of processing. The PS3 brings that to the table. The open development system on PSN (versus the MS closed version) means things like UT3 mods are possible. Mark Rein said right now it can’t be done on the 360. This is the future and if you want to game more of the future you are going to need to get a second console. A PS3.
” 360, obviously, we first started talking about the processor at E3, three years ago. And then the first discrete graphics processors for PCs were released into the market that used that unified shader technology were this past May, the HD 2000 series. So it was an interesting thing for us, because really, I don’t think people fully understood the processing power that was put into that GPU. ”
a quote from ati
xbox 360 IS as strong if not stronger than the ps3!! this is why m$ is not scared!
John Carmack is a man I respect. He is the single most influential man in the history of gaming.
He’s ONE of the most influential people in establishig the genra of FPS.
The console war is not over, not over by a long shot! you fuckers haven’t even given the PS3 a year, well guess what? sales of the PS3 for its first 10 months match those of the 360 AND the 360 had no rival! now the PS3 has 2! god forbid they might be lagging behind because it is the most expensive of the bunch.
Now, COD 4 has been built specifically for each system and as stated by IW the PS3 version is the better of the consoles, end game.
god forbid they might be lagging behind because it is the most expensive of the bunch.
LAGGING behind
you got that right m8 have you played pes 2008 lmao
Wow! People are really irrational. If I’m buying a car, it’ll be for the fuel efficiency, comfort, power, passenger and luggage space and so on. lol…I wouldn’t buy a car because it can fry eggs. If I’m buying a game system, I’m buying it for game play. I couldn’t care if it’s used for folding@home, cause that is not why I plunked down $600. 360 has better games. All this talk of potential is meaningless. Example: A player gets drafted in the NFL based on past performance and potential to be good/great. After he is drafted, he is given an opportunity to prove himself. If he sucks and doesn’t live up to his potential, he is let go. The PS3 was delayed specifically due to blue ray production issues. Devs have had PS3’s devkits since 2005. So this one year shenanigan is nonsense. Their own first party games are delayed. With all these years spent on developing MGS4, that’s what it looks like?! Really?! I can’t wait ’til it’s released so you characters can be let down. You’ve been caught up in the hype machine. Devil May Cry 4 was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive because the 360 wouldn’t be able to handle it. It’s looking smashing on the 360…lol. With all this “advanced” hardware and “future proof” technology, you would swear PS3 games are head and shoulders above 360 games. That’s not even true. Most 360 games look better and PLAY better than PS3 games. Your exclusives and first party games are corny. I’m not a fan boy but your irrational arguments irk me. Be objective and look at it for what it is. Kobe Bryant is better than Stephon Marbury and his game proves it. There’s no comparison. If the PS3 was really great like they “advertise” it to be, there would be no questions and no posts. When NeoGeo came out no doubted it was better than Nintendo. The games were BETTER. People just didn’t want to pay $600 for a console. That can’t be said for PS3. You guys know that so stop it already. Sony lied to its own people. It’s not their marketing department’s fault. They were told they had this crazy system so they hyped it up like that only to see that it’s not the case. It’s a piece of shit blue ray player. Enjoy!

@Esse You are a Fanboy
No Daz, I don’t play wogball.
I’m a smart consumer my dude. I’ve had an atari, nintendo, sega genesis, playstation, xbox, and now xbox 360.
can everyone STFU about 360 has superior graphics than ps3 if thats true can someone explain why the GT5 Prologue,MGS4,KILLZONE 2,HAZE and GETAWAY 3 has way better graphics than any 360 exclusive out there(if u cant see that ur a fuking blind person) the ps3 port(madden) is sucks because it came from a system that sucks (xbox 360 “cough”) that relying on its shader and it has limitation unlike ps3..gears of war look good because its short(8GB and everything is compressed lmao) thats why the graphics look good they make it short so they can add more graphics texture etc, but its not that good compare to MGS4(pure 45GB game/Photo realistic/and MGO where the new online play that u cant find in any 3rd/FPS game).. And HALO 3??…………..no comment its sucks i rather play HALF LIFE CS that take skill not for noobs who cant shoot and used a fuking Jello shield or what ever that is for not getting killed..and they sead halo is special but WTF unreal tournament came out first and its way better than HALO and they are in the same genre of FPS so dont say KILLZONE suck!!! HALO is better!! ur a fucking idiot if you compare this two..
if Sony copied MS in online feature ur dumb as a rock, sure theres online play and get DLC (why the hell do you need online for without this) but the difference is PSN has HOME And XBL has….XBL?? lmao PSN has another online community and XBL has only one “poor kid” oh wait thats what the other dude sead there like alot of stupid 12 years old kid in XBL that keep screaming around…LMAO
to the sony fans—EXCUSES, EXCUSES!! wha wha, no matter how much people show that the 360 is the dominate console, sony boys have to have the last word. how about shutting up and go play some games? oh i forgot, you payed 600.00 dollars and got no game! haha, hey look on the bright side, spidey 3 is on blu ray!! hahaha LAME
the halo effect? dont you mean MASS EFFECT? oh my friend, there is much more to come from the 360, like you sony fags always say—WAIT
Have you been bribed by Microsoft too lol…
Its easy to say that you’re a smart customer when the console you love is ahead. i think its still way to early for you to knock the PS3, after all Sony have had a better run in the console world than anyone else. 120million PS2s sold to date thats impressive, somehow i cant see PS3 going down like you and all the Xbox Fanboys would love. But if it does happen then ill admit defeat. Until then enjoy playing on your good but very noisy and Unreliable 360.
Dude, go fold some proteins (folding@home) and be happy for Sony they’ve sold 120 mil PS2’s. Wiiii!!! There’s nothing like a satisfied customer…lol.
@Furze
At least i can and have something to play. lol
Ok DUDE! I will fold some proteins, i like proteins. They are the biulding blocks for Life like you and me lol…and if it helps in anyway with Medical Research, well all the more reason to keep on folding. ill leave you to your red ring of Death.
Never had that experience but like life, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I guess that’s what you clowns wish, misfortune. Too bad it’s a non-issue in my life.
And the first official word that the games are different. 360 supports 16 players in Multiplayer and the PS3 supports 18. Whoops! Looks like the developers were already BSing about the games being the same.
360 for multiplayer and better graphics, way to go every time.
360 for multiplayer and graphics, way to go every time.
“Both versions, Xbox 360 and PS3 have the same number of players.
They both have 16 players max, except on Ground War gametype which has 18 players max. On BOTH consoles.” - IW

My dads stronger than your dad
I was reading the huge mess writen above and I will agree with 1 thing. Hardcore gamers are deffinatly on the 360. I’m talking real gamers, Older gamers and people that know how to shoot. Therefore the better online experience will be the 360. Plus there will be obviously more copies of the 360 sold then the PS3 meaning our community is going to be better.
HAHA! PS3 fans sound so angry. Geez! Get some sugar in your blood, take a nap, get laid, go exercise. You should be happy right now. You have the most powerful system man has ever seen. You can fold proteins, map out a mosquito’s genome, you guys can do it all…lmao. Correction, you guys do it all. You play Xbox 360 and PC games on your ps3. You play games, that when I walk in the room, I swear I’m watching a movie. You’d have to tell me it’s a game and not Saving Private Ryan or something. We all know Noby Noby Boy couldn’t be made on a 360…lol. You have the most awesome online game play and games that take 5X more time to beat because it’s on Blue Ray as opposed to last-gen DVD. ‘Cause you know, there’s so much more content. I know you guys don’t have games that can be beat in a day ’cause you guys have Blue Rayyy!!!! Yaay! Be happy, rejoice! You guys can not only play all Xbox 360 and PC games but you can also play all PS2 games. Right?! Do I have it all down now?! Am I missing anything else?! Oh, how can I forget, you guys can install Linux on your PS3. Now that’s gaming! Play beyond! There’s more meaning to those 2 words than you think fanBOYS.
Hey esse! thats the only way they can play games right now– because sony`s line up stinks! lol.. boy i bet they cant wait for drakes fortune! lol it`s just crash bandicoot with a human instead of a bandicoot!!!! hahaha
PSN is good but XboxLive is far better, but no pay is far better stupid. That extra $55 pay to XBOX Live, I can get me a new game every year.
Wow Ralph didn’t list a single PS3 game that’s already available. I’m as excited about Home as the next guy, but the fact that Sony pushed it back to at LEAST 2nd quarter 2008 is more than disappointing. If you look at the games available today there’s no question that PS3 developers are struggling terribly. Only Ratchet & Clank and Resistance (ironically both from Insomniac who are admitedly awesome!) are AAA titles right now. The 360 lineup of CURRENT games is simply much stronger and the quality of cross platform games so far has definitely pointed towards the 360 side.
I’m a fanboy of both systems equally and they’ve both made serious mistakes - but seriously, no doubt: get the 360 version.
The real question is how does each game play on-line? COD is a great FPS but only when played on-line… XBOX LIVE is obviously a fantastic service with millions of players but whats up over at SONY? Do they have the # of players to make the on-line enjoyable?? That’ll be the decider in my books!!
“PSN is good but XboxLive is far better, but no pay is far better stupid. That extra $55 pay to XBOX Live, I can get me a new game every year.”
LOL…wow congrats douche bag! Didn’t realize $4.17 a month was so much for a quality product? Everyone stfu and play the great game damn!
Reading these post are funny. One guy says the lineup of th 360 is better then the 360. Another says ha 1080p when he plays it on 1900×1200. 1080p is 1920×1080 on up to 60in. It takes at least 50in to see the difference between 1080 and 720. I don’t think playing it on a 22in PC screen is all that impressive. Lets answer this kids questions. What he wants to know about is what game does it play better on. From what I have been told is the 360 has a better online service but due to it being hosted on live and not on dedicated servers like the PS3 it has more lag. Also there is a feature that will allow the porting of maps from the PC to the PS3. If you have played COD you know this is the best online feature you can have. My guess is that you will be able to buy them on the Xbox. My guess is that if you are a live user go 360, if you are a PC gamer go PS3. If you want the least lag go PS3. If you like talking crap with 13 year olds go 360 because no one talks on the PSN.
I think the real question is do you own a PC. That would be the best version. No immature kids on live. No red ring of death. No Question marks on if the PS3 version has some weird bug. PC games will have new maps up every week.
The Xbox 360 controller is way way way better than the PS3….if this consule is for Movies…then get the PS3 but if you’re a true gamer…get the Xbox 360
