Hey all im new here, i currently have a 360elite which is fine and have had 0 problems with it. runs like a dream really. but as of late ive been considering selling up and getting a PS3. why? a few things i like in the PS3 like bluray, free online and a swag of exclusive titles next year sound good.

so... what do u guys think are the main advanatge for the PS3 over the 360? lets not get into the whole chip power VS RAM power debate again. its been done to death. ive seen both in action and its pretty much of much on the graphics side of things... lets look at features and titles instead.

*what are some PS3 exclusive titles next year? dont really know.
*what are some good features of the PS3?
*if any of you have gone from 360 to PS3, why?

help me out.

PS3 is very powerful, has lots of great games that arent on 360, great graphics, great online and also a very good dashboard type thing. One of the best things is Blu Ray.

well mate I had a 360 Premium and made the switch to PS3 for one reason and one reason only - I was very disappointed with Microsoft's skimping when it comes to build quality!! I had the red rings of death. I found that completely unacceptable especially when I actually didn't use the console for that much (1-2hrs each day max) and had it only for 6mths (bought Apr 07, died in Sep 07).

I didn't mind the system at all, I just didn't want to support such poor build quality and obvious attempt at increasing profits by a company that already makes more than enough, and should do its best to actually offer a top class product.

I now love the PS3 because with it I am getting some decent gaming titles, true 1080p capability should games eventually start using it, good ol' BluRay which I love and a free online connectivity.

I will support the company that offers me, as a consumer, a genuine attempt at producing a top quality product - in my experience this is definately not MS!!!!!

Oh, and also - PS3 has much easier file transfer capability (via a USB storage device of any kind) which I find useful if you play games that require patches and mods like for example ProEvo and such games. U actually don't have to spend extra money on adapters or any other extras for that matter. 360s not so $$$ friendly

If the only reason you'd swap from 360 to PS3 is the build quality and reliability, you'd probably be better off without any console. I mean, I'd be miserable with a PS3 and not a 360, even if it was 100% guaranteed not to screw up. Games and games only should be your only motive in a decision... pick the system that suits your taste in games, don't judge based on the system itself.

Good call iddqd. System capabilites shouldn't be your number 1 choice in picking a console. Personally, i can't stand FPS console games. Dual-Analog is dead-set primitive and the N64 controller worked MUCH better for FPS games. Which is why a bought a Wii since Metroid Prime 3 has far superior controls compare to dual-analog. the 360 is a FPS console primarily and i don't like that. I also adore FF games as well as God of War and Devil May Cry franchises which i know will all be on Ps3. I havent got a Ps3 yet, but i will get one, especially for the DVD upscaling ability

Depends on the rules of the forum. As for chipping the Ps3, it's region free anyway, so the only reason to chip it IS to play burnt/downloaded games, and my stance on that is very very strong. If you feel the need to rob the developers of money they need to make future games, then your not a true gamer. How much sense does it make to be a hardcore gamer who wants to make sure future games suck? None.

Chimeraguy is one of the strangest nicknames ever. Its safe to bet they will release a 2nd Ps3 Tekken game (as much as i can't stand Tekken) since they've stated the Ps3 will have twice the lifecycle length of any previous console. I think thats a silly call. To say the Ps3 will last a decade in the face of a new M$/Nintendo console in 4 years is just retarded. M$/Nintendo are stomping Sony in sales already, new consoles would make it worse. Sony would have to redesign the console in the same way they did with the Ps2 to have it stand a chance.

Chimeraguy was my first name because my friend Andrew found the site & was a big fan of that game Resistance: Fall of Man, hence the name Chimeraguy But since i've been using his account i thought, why not change it to something of my liking Honestly hun, i could play Tekken forever, its jut my kind of game, the day Tekken & Soul Calibur die is the day i will cry
