Re: Playstation Home
If you ask me both you AND dr3yec are spouting fanboy garbage. There are pros and cons for both systems and it's way too soon to find out who will come out on top.
Xbox 360
Good
- More games
- Superior online service
- More console units sold
- Been out longer
Bad
- No HD out of the box (and is more expensive than the PS3 overall when adding one).
- Heating issues with 'brick' adapter
- Lacks features standard on PS3 (HDMI, WiFi, memory card, etc).
PS3
Good
- Better performance potential
- Completely backwards compatible with older PS games
- HD player built in
- More built in features
Bad
- Lack of killer games
- More expensive initially
- Online features lacking
Love the console you love, but this piss-fest on who's the best is really annoying and lack any true objective clarity. IT'S TOO SOON TO TELL!! The PS3 just came out and hasn't rolled out all of its features. The 360 hasn't had its potentially completely tapped either. I say wait another 12 months and then we can see how your favorite console is doing against the competition. |

| microsoft is coming out with another 360 with a 120gb hard drive, hd dvd drive, and hdmi ports. The 360 already comes out of the box with HD capabilities. The ps3 is not better performance potential, tests have already shown the 360 is able to put out more then the ps3 in graphics and speed. And the ps3 is not completely backwords compatible, many games you still cant play or the ones that do play dont even work correctly. |

Which means current XBox 360 owners need to buy a whole new console to get these benefits? Will current 360 owners get a change to get these features on their console? If so how much is it all going to cost them?

What tests? What are they based on? Current games that are out? Processing power between the 360's core and the PS3's core? Keep in mind the PS3 has eight working subprocessors, and once they are utilized the real power behind the console will start to show.

As of the last firmware update just about all of the previous PS and PS2 games will work on the PS3. When you look at the 360's backwards compatibility there simply is no comparison. |

very interesting my uncle in law who works for Microsoft says that entire statement is false.
They have no plans to create a bigger hard drive. a third party company may. They have no plans to create a new version of xbox360 let alone one with build in hd dvd drive... The 360 does currently support HD but not full true HD via HDMI Connectivity... And no plans to add that... And yes the ps3 maybe not completely backwords compatible but its atleast at 95% compared too XBox360's 10% backwards compatability.... I have 20 Regular XBox games and out of all of them the only ones that work on the 360 are Halo and Halo 2.......
So you might wanna fire your source for information. |
