iMaster 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 OK, if you own a 360, please post its upsides and downsides, if you own a PS3, do the same. If you own both, compare them. If you don't, then please don't bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iMaster 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Xboxes crash and PS3s burn. I'd go with burn, but I'd like to hear opinions. Plus, I am tight on funds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
♠Grim♂ Reaper 1666◙ 17 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 the xboxes were improved (the famous red ring of death was caused by them overheating and components solders melting/ desoldering themselves) my brothers x360 works fine and has forza 2 which i prefer better to gran turismo and you could even consider a nintendo wii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 I personally prefer the PS3, but I have found one downside, the top is curved which makes it very hard to stack lol that's a minor downside. Not in any way belonging to the type of downsides iPro wanted to know. As for the Wii, it's in the same generation as PS2 and Xbox. It has indeed better graphics than the two I've mentioned in the previous sentence, but it's not anywhere near the greatness of PS3 and Xbox 360. There is the less problematic PS3, and the great later Xbox 360 units. Both are great, so I can't really tell which is the best for you. But I can tell 2 downsides of the X360: If your country only has the old X360 ones, you'll just bump to hardware sh*t like the Red Rings of Death; and the X360 is known to make scratches on a DVD whenever the console is moved from its position while the DVD is inserted, so it would be wise that the console is in someplace where it can't be moved. Also, there are games called "exclusives", which are only available for the X360 only or the PS3 only, so if you are aiming for such exclusives, choose for the console of those exclusives. This is my main reason why want to get PS3 -- there are about 2 or more PS3 exclusives I want to try out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the PSX one didn't come out till the PS2 was right about to be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 A "PS3 Slim" would be more problematic than the "phat PS3". The common problem of this version would be overheating, where you're forced to use the console within only a limited amount of time or in a cool place, like an air-conditioned place. This is also the problem of the PS2 slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarthwormJim 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 if russia has the new chipsets in their xboxes then i would say go for one of them, but to be honest it all depeds on wich games you want to play. mass effect or infamous for example. both games are amazing yet theyr both exclusives (though mass effect is on pc aswell and infamous is bound to get ported at some stage) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) I was thinking that it may not be possible to make a PS3-slim, since we have reached the limit of the amount of transistors a single chip can hold, which makes Moore's Law null and void. This is also why they had to start making dual core and quad core processors, but then I could just be overthinking (or underthinking) things.
