drqshadow Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 If you liked the DSiXL, you'll LOVE the 3DSiXL! I think eventually they're going to actually spell something in 1337sp33k and call it a product name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Got my 360 back. Rather, I got a new 360 back. Woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnino14 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I LOVE the Ratchet and Clank series. Just beat Future Crack in Time and each new game is better than the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ogre Battle 64 is out on Virtual Console. I've been meaning to get into the series for years, so I'll probably buy it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Between the first and last of May, I should be coming into enough money to buy a PS3. So, yeah, I'll be doing that. And I know my first game will be: Just Cause 2. I've played this at a buddy's house, and it is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know my first game will be: Batman: Arkham Asylum. Because it's the best goddamn game ever made. Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 PS3 and not 360 because of Last Guardian, I'm assuming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 HA! I hadn't even thought about that, but it helps solidify my decision. Beyond that, it really boils down to a few things: I like Sony's controller better than Microsoft's, it doubles as a Blu-ray player, it has better graphics, and I like some of the downloads better.

Guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 The graphics thing is pretty debatable, and won't really matter unless you have a super high end TV. The rest makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Also, the PS3 doesn't blind you with giant flashing ads plastered all over the main menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Also, the PS3 doesn't blind you with giant flashing ads plastered all over the main menu. That's an exaggeration. It's not like it's Myspace or something like that. Besides, the PS3 has ads also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how the 360 dashboard (especially the new one) felt to me. 2/3 of all the options were ads. The PS3 has a tiny little ticker bar in the upper-right hand corner. Totally unobtrusive.

MaxPower Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I didn't even notice the adds on the PS3 XMB, are they for 3rd party in that ticker bar, I only ever noticed ads for PS Store stuff, which I treat more as an alert than an ad. If it ever became big 3rd party ads, I would be to the point of outrage (McDonalds, etc). It's an operating system, not a website, you can't sell ads on an operating system. Well you could if you were giving them away free, but other than that you can't, can you? I agree with Dubs though, if you don't have a decent screen, the graphics thing is a mute point. A friend of mine is putting a PS3 on his wedding registry, but he has a crappy TV, so I told him to put a TV on it as well, haha. I can't believe how few games are 1080 resolution, it's kinda frustrating. Although PS3 does have more native (not upscaled) 1080p games than the 360, but most of them are crap games, so it's a mute point. Not even GoW3 is 1080p. On the upside, it does give greater faith the system has a long lifespan, as the 2nd generation of games for it will be 1080p (I hope).

Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 HD is great with certain games, but if you're looking for major differences between the 360 and PS3, there aren't a ton, and even then, it varies. Some games, like Bayonetta, actually look a lot better on the 360. Ultimately, it's all about what games you want to play. Graphical dominance has never really played a factor in a system's quality. Just look at the tournament standings if you don't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Try playing Home I don't. Even I'm not that much of a Sony snob. Ultimately, it's all about what games you want to play. Graphical dominance has never really played a factor in a system's quality. Just look at the tournament standings if you don't believe me. This is true. The PS2 was the least graphically powerful of the three during the last generation, but it completely outsold them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 At this point I'd probably recommend the PS3 between the two, although that's based entirely off of second hand knowledge. Both have games that I'd be sad to not play at some point, but so many games come out on both that it's not a big deal either way. I seriously don't see why someone would be so annoyed by the ads on the 360 though. I mean, it's a little silly that the 360 starts on the spotlight menu rather than your profile, but I barely notice the ads outside of that.

MaxPower Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Totally agree that gameplay means a lot more than graphics to most people (myself included). It was more a comment on being surprised that so few games have exploited the maximum graphical features of either system. It looks like anything with a low action content is 1080p (Poker anyone??) but fast paced on screen action isn't capable of 1080p yet. But when you look at GoW3, I guess it doesn't matter that much.

KnightWing Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 It was more a comment on being surprised that so few games have exploited the maximum graphical features of either system. Technically, they have. 1080p is 1.5 times the resolution of 720p; that cuts down the available system power by a good chunk. And unless you're running on a TV that's 40 inches or more, you won't notice the difference anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
