Going to Starbucks when you could be going to Tim Horton's? Next thing you're going to say that you prefer Burger King over Swiss Chalet. I'd actually take NYF over both just for the poutine, but that's just me.

Tim Horton's is the better choice between the two. As for Burger Kings it's a no but as for Swiss Chalet it's a definite NO, NO. I can't comment on the NYF but what I know is for those people who have an XBox 360 probably can't afford to eat at any of these places as they'll be taking their money to pay unnecessary fees every month to play their system online. Also what I know as well is that... PS3 is the better choice when it comes to the PS3 vs. the XBox 360

Its amazing the amount of ignorance and retartedness running amuck in this thread. And the arguement that the Ps3 has no good game/exclusives is blind fanboy loyalism. Walk out of your hut theres a whole world out there beyond the MS press releases. Console vs console for out of the box functionality PS3 wins hands down. Anyone aruge that or caim its false needs to stop drinking the jesus juice.

take a chill pill dude! Calling your fellow members names is a no no, no matter how much they deserve it. Out of the box PS3 wins. When it comes to the best games, XBox 360 wins hands down.
ultimately it's the consumers that win since they get all the benefits of the console war. If you are going to have an attitude in the Gaming Forums the GTFO we don't need you here! it's sad since you are an older member.

NO console can stand on it's own. So "out of the box" is irrelevant and pointless. Consoles exist to PLAY GAMES. Any additional features or gimmicks or shinies are irrelevant. If the console does not play the games YOU PERSONALLY ENJOY everything else is pointless.| Quote, originally posted by Morph » | And the arguement that the Ps3 has no good game/exclusives is blind fanboy loyalism.

As suggested above, calm down. There's a BIG difference between fanboyism and varied taste. Also, take note of how OLD this thread is. A lot of the "no good games" posts are from back when there really were no good games. A lot has changed recently on that front. But even if that wasn't the case, someone not liking any games available for just the PS3 is not in any way, shape, form or warping of definition fanboyism. It's called PERSONAL TASTE. And as has been mentioned multiple times in this very thread, that view of the GAMES has NO BEARING on the system itself. It's not fanboyism because it has nothing to do with a preference of Sony or MS or either piece of hardware or any SINGLE thing. It's a viewpoint that encompasses many games. And you should watch who you're calling blind and fanboys. Many of us (like myself) are most likely much more aware of the gaming world than yourself. I'm very much aware of the titles available for the PS3, for the 360, for the PC, for the Wii. The reason I own all but one is that all but one have plentiful desirable titles, making the investment worthwhile, while the fourth does not. As I have said countless times: HARDWARE MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT GAMES TO PLAY ON IT. I don't care whose hardware is better out of the box. And I don't care about functionality beyond videogames in a console. So NONE OF THAT makes any difference if I don't like the PS3's library. I'd like to play Drake's Fortune and God of War 3, but that's only two games, and one's not even out yet. Not worth plunking down $300. When I bought my 360 I walked out of the store with 3 or 4 games in hand as well, and a list of more to buy later. When I bought my Wii I already HAD a stack of 3 or 4 games at home waiting to be played, and another list of more to buy. That just won't happen on the PS3. YOU MAY PERSONALLY THINK that there are lots of good exclusives for the PS3. Many of us disagree. Some of us are really, really picky, and rarely buy games at all anymore. I'm not going to buy a console that only has one or two outstanding games that I'm interested in. And I'm not going to buy a console that has shown no sign of changing that fact over the years. Slowly, VERY VERY SLOWLY, the PS3 is acquiring desirable titles. But at this rate it'll be 3 more years before there are enough titles I really want to play for the console to be worth the initial pricetag. And DON'T bring up bluray as a defense, because it's ONLY a defense if one was going to buy a bluray player anyway. I have no intention of buying a bluray player anytime soon. Yes, bluray is a bonus, but it's no extra selling point for me. Just as with games, I'd have to acquire a library of bluray titles for that to do me any good. More money required there. So that's no more incentive to buy the PS3 than if it did not have a bluray player. Bluray on the PS3 is like getting free window tinting with your car. Great if you wanted window tinting anyway. But not even worth mentioning if you didn't. I don't need/want/care about bluray, so it's neither good nor bad. Yes, I'd start buying bluray movies if I had a PS3, but I don't feel like I'm missing out NOT buying bluray movies. | Quote, originally posted by Morph » | | Console vs console for out of the box functionality PS3 wins hands down.

What "functionality" is better? Some parts of the hardware design are superior. The easy to replace hard drive is a nice contrast to MS's locked-to-official take. But the rest of the console doesn't stand out as better OR WORSE than the 360. I say anyone who makes claims that one console "wins" without pointing out WHY it wins is the one who needs to stop drinking the "jesus juice." The funny thing is that a lot of us "fanboys" have offered solid points to support our opinions. All you've done is insult people and say "this one's better and if you can't see it you're stupid."

I dont think i've insulted anyone. I've offered no quotes of so and so said this or that. And by out of the box meaning if you wanted to hook up to a wireless network, thats extra, bigger hdd as you've pointed out is a PITA with MS and overly expensive, hd player is extra, onlline is extra. Playstation has more things included with the price tag.

I see. The HDD thing is a big bonus. Wireless for the 360 is way overpriced, but who actually uses wireless? That's not even a rhetorical question...is there actually anyone who uses wireless? It's so unreliable and finicky.Still, easier to upgrade hard drive doesn't to me any good if I don't have anything to use it for.

Dude again never made a refrence to anyone just some of the comments and attitudes I’ve read in this post and in the forum. If you took offence my bad didn’t use any names for a reason. I have both a 360 and a ps3, also I have consoles back to the NES when is started gaming so I think I am very aware thanks. | Quote, originally posted by MinisterofDOOM » | | As I have said countless times: HARDWARE MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT GAMES TO PLAY ON IT. |

It’s not a defense it’s a bonus. Just like the PS2’s DVD drive. And blu ray has proven usefull in gaming in its own right. id’s having issues with the storage on the 360 disks. So having games on multiple disks might not be so bad but it can limit the content that the developer wants to include on the game. | Quote, originally posted by MinisterofDOOM » | | The funny thing is that a lot of us "fanboys" have offered solid points to support our opinions.

Again I singled no one out. Ok for facts let look at s***ty hardware, the fact the MS knew about the problem and chose…again they made a decision to say screw it and not say anything. Sure they decided to get it fixed but that was after millions of consoles were “fixed” for the same issue. Disk scraching wtf. Happened to 4 of my disks before i had to send it off again. No i didnt move the thing at all. Actual 1080p games not upscale. Free online HDD upgradeable, Blu-Ray Player No region coding on most games. USB support for pretty much anything OS support on older models Web Browser Printer support Better exclusives. Xbox ranks 8.47 out of 10 and PS3 ranks 9.42 out of 10. http://gogaminggiant.com/2009/...usive/ Im well aware graphics don’t make the game but they do count. And exclusive for exclusive Playstation's look a lot better. Sure some multiplatform games still suffer on the ps3 but this is due to the fact if it being a port from the 360 to the ps3. If the devs would actually learn the system and port from the ps3 to the 360 things would be even. If you can code for the ps3 first it will easily transition to the 360 with no negative side effects.
I am a gamer I don’t care what game a system is on if it’s a good game I will want to play it, no matter if its ps3 360 or what ever the hell comes out next. Give each console the respect it deserves and leave it at that.

I'm sorry if that came across a little hotheaded. I'm just not big on slinging the word "fanboy" around. Especially since, in my experience, the only people who use it are fanboys themselves. But it doesn't matter if you singled anyone out. You said the thread had a lot of ignorance, retartednes, and blind fanboys. You don't walk into a room and say "there are a lot of morons in here" and then get offended when the people react to that.| Quote, originally posted by Morph » | | And games mean nothing if the hardware doesn’t work.

Not picking sides or anything, but that is a terrible terrible article from a statistical comparison standpoint. A terrible maniuplation of data...21 360 games vs 10 PS3 games...you just can't do that and have any credibility.

lol thats a bunch of garbage. 1. Using one IGN editors opinion as frikkin scripture 2. Using a different number of games for each system, of course the one with more games will have a lower average. 3. Guy says he wont use Japanese games then he lists: Ace Combat, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, beautiful Katamari and Dead or Alive?? Credibility? 4. The site was created last year? By nobodies? Hehe. Lol, i should start a site and do this too. 5. If hes going to use opinions to make an average why doesnt he use a Meta score instead of IGN? Better yet why doesnt the site use its own scores instead of IGN, then i wouldnt have even bothered to read the whole aricle and would have just ridiculed it svaing myself a good 5 mins. Hehe thought id leave this hot pile in here....i might come back later, but im busy playing Forza 3 on my Xbox 360.
At the end of time, there will be a point when one man is alone with God
 Am I that man?

Seriously, its Like $4.20 a month. If you can't afford that for the awesome features Xbox Live has over PSN, you shouldn't be spending any money on videogames.

Isn't it amazing?!? At least judging by how long GT PSP took to release the PS3 owners will be playing GT5 by.....2014ish?

If GT5 sucks I will not be buying a PS3, that is the last game I want to play on the PS3. GT5 comes in March in Japan supposedly, if it does ship we can expect GT5 in the fall of 2010. I hope I am not burnt out with racing by then. Where the heck did all the Helicopter games go?
