In my humble opinion the xBox is currently the best console on the market, PC’s has toooo many hang-ups and PS3′ graphics are inferior. The new XBox 360 250GB is a beauty to behold!

@Nick- Mass Effect exclusivity may be gone but do you remember that new Crytek exclusive that was teased at E3? Codename: Kingdoms. And then Alan Wake has finally gotten up. So as one goes…another walks in

Did the xbox loose its mojo when it lost Bioshock, No.

Will it loose it with Me2 -, No.

Both consoles have a space, and give you the same type and quality of games, so for someone getting a console for a teenager the xbox is still cheaper than the competition, you win some games and you add some games.

At the end it is the gamers that win with this, because the more “Third” party games become
available to more gamers the better it is for the developers.

Take netflix for example, with it Microsoft added new features and content to the service , at the detriment of their own video marketplace. And this is one of the best things Microsoft have done is to add as much services and content to it.

The only people who think the X360 is not dead, are the people that support it – but in comparison to the the PC and the PS3, there is nothing to it owning an X360 anymore. People still harp on about LIVE and GEARS as the defining factors that make it the better system. But that is merely clinging onto a notion in order to justify the ownership to oneself. If you have a PC and a PS3, you are more than covered and the X360 is a complete waste of time and money.

Also, as you guys know I was a complete X360 fanboy but now that I am not, I can say this as well: There are a LOT of unspoken problems with the X360 that just never seem to make it into these discussions. Things that we never really want PC and PS3 owners to know. For example, the sluggish frame rate in ME1. The constant freezing in half of your games. Turning power off but nothing happens. Your controller buttons becoming jiggly. The unsightly power supply. The noise. Ok a few points are already known, but my point is in hindsite, I can clearly say that the X360 is given more praise than its worth, and is an highly overrated product.

But if it keeps people like Fox1 and Jakes and Lazygamer occupied, and distracts them from joining the PS3 scene, then by all means it definitely must not become redundant. It has its place.

Dude, seriously?

Those point you mentioned on the Xbox 360 are utter BS:

“For example, the sluggish frame rate in ME1. The constant freezing in half of your games. Turning power off but nothing happens. Your controller buttons becoming jiggly. The unsightly power supply. The noise.”

Dude, none of these statements (except maybe the framerate in ME1) are true! I’m on my 3rd Xbox 360 (1st, spilled beer on the console, 2nd sold to acquire my 250GB slim) and never have I ever had any of these issues.

The PS3 takes forever to do the following:

1.Power on/off
2. Installing updates take forever, don’t plan on playing Uncharted 2 on date of purchase, the updates are insane!
3. Too loud and noisy

Noise! What noise? Seriously have no idea what you on about! I’m no fanboi, but both consoles have their pro’s/cons!

Maybe the Xbox360 is becoming redundant, and time they release one with a bluray player? Only MS will know the reason for not doing it!

is there really any reason for you to want to spend your hard earned money on an Xbox 360 instead of the competition if you could only afford one?

HALO:REACH

you put that in a PS3 it will xplode

Something is seriously wrong with you people!

If I had money for just one console, I would do it again and go with my Xbox 360!

I’ve had a 360 since before it’s local release and a PS3 since the release of the Slim model last year. My 360 enjoys most of my playing time as I got the PS3 for Blu-Ray and worthwhile exclusives.

I don’t mind paying for Xbox Live as the services offered and usability is much better than PSN and it’s really not expensive. The fact that you have to pay also reduces the amount of idiots you have to put up with when playing online.

All that being said, if both consoles were released at the same time and price and I could only afford one it would be a very carefully considered decision as both have their pros and cons with neither really being superior.

If i want blu ray, I can go out right now and get a player for R999.

Sadly, WeRRies ZA I wouldn’t, too much beef with Microsoft to even consider handing over more cash to them.

456 It’s called Kinect…Kinect…Kinect!!! Kinetic is some lame watch!

True Story: If you put the Uncharted 2 bluray disk into a xbox 360, it will RROD. Xbox 360 can’t handle the graphics of PS3 exclusives.

Spotify kept me sane in Sweden (keeps me sane here as well), luckily one of the developers who worked on it was also studying at the same högskola as me and he has kept my account active even though I’m now back in Africa.

Totally unbiased answer, No !

Long winded flamebait answer, Every single console starts its journey to redundancy from the day it is launched. The redundant one with the YLOD function is a glorified paper weight that occasionally gets used as a blu-ray player while the the other one (not Wii that little box is not a console) the real gamers choice the XBOX will out live them all.

Okay I’ve had my Friday fun you may proceed. :angel:

Seriously i feel sorry for you XBox 360 disillusioned smurfs the writing is on the wall, MS is casual and does not know what its doing, it will take 2-3 years to build a credible first party ip the likes of halo and gears!

They have not announced anything for the hardcore 2011, other than GEARS! so for the next 6 months next year they will be nothing!!! except GEARS? and if they announce in June what will it be?? they have not bought any new ip except for crytek exclusive and the rest is Kinect!!!!

You Xbots really are idiots you gonna buy a new xbox for 3500, then Kinect 1700? then games?

If u dont have the new xbox you gonna have to buy a kinect adapter which looks like it could cost R1000???

Xbox is for ppl who cant count coz ur guys are being ripped off, only fools defend sinking ships, when sony makes mistakes, sony fans attack sony, sony listens and changes for the most part. When Ms makes stupid decisions Xbots defend their stupidity. I guess Stupid people dont know their stupid untill someone tells them, and yes any funny comebacks proves you got no originality and are also stupid!

I don’t know Lans, maybe they secretly love on-rail gaming? *wave wave* “Look Ma, I’m on rails” “That’s good Timmay, you’re a good boy”.

Apart from Fable 3 (marginally interested)and Gears, there’s really nothing heading to the box that I would even consider (I know Halo is coming out, but I’ve never been interested in it).

I’m kind of hoping that Microsoft will be doing a big reveal in the next few months, with new IPs and exclusives (highly unlikely – since they seem pretty much focussed on Kinect for the time being).

I go where games that interest me are. The games that you mentioned above show no appeal to me being xbox, ps3, ps2, pc, ps, wii, gamecube whatever. Its not about the platform. Its where I see interest.

They’re banking a bit much on Kinect and not delivering the killer apps to sell it. There’s a TED video of Molyneux and Milo which is really more the sort of thing I would like to see.

PS3 is not to bad all things considered except for the ****ing aweful controllers, which are a bit of a deal breaker. They seem to put a lot more pride in their titles.

ARE U G4Y LUZERS FOR REAL!!! XBOX 360 IS THE BEST CONSLE EVAR!!! MY XBOX GAMER TAG IS XxXH4RDC0R3XxX & I WAM BETTA THN ALL UF U PISS3 PLAJERS. HOW IZ IT BETTA? HALO REACH! GEARS OF WAR 3 MUDERN WAREFARE 2 AND KINECT WILL BE BETTA THEN MOVVE BECOS XBOX IS BETTA!! YEAAH TAKE THAT PS LUZERS

Fanboy Wars are always so, so entertaining. People, heat this battle up! Too boring!

PS: Bobby, I’m breaking up with you. It just didn’t work for me, one of us is a Gaystation fanboy and one of us an Xbot fanboy, and as you know those 2 don’t mix. Sorry, but it’s for the better. Look on the bright side, I bet ACID is free, why don’t you 2 go play with your Move-sticks and see how it goes on from there? :heart:

PPS: Bobby, I’m coming to fetch my Xbox you so aggressively bludgened with your PS3 controller. Please put the keys under the plant pot in the morning before work, don’t worry, I’ll lock up when I’m finished and return the keys. Thanks dear. :kissing:
