Title: Anyone got an XBOX360?
Post by: TrueGrit on January 05, 2009, 06:54:36 AM
And if yes, is it fucking noisy when a disc is playing..I mean like Oil tanker's foghorn loud?

Wondering if I should take this shit back.

Mods, feel free to move this shit to the E forum, I can't fucking find it.

I went with the xbox because I prefer the xbox exclusive games and the graphics are slightly crisper and more vivid, despite the PS3 having better hardware.

It's the noise of the thing I can't stand.

My niece bought one month and a half later DEAD , Microsoft admitted they rushed it into production to beat the PS3 and that's why it has a host a problems , Microsoft payed out the ass for all the problems associated with the X-box

Define dead first. As for ms admitting, yes you are right, the did release a beta version back in the days they were worried about ps3, it was really a bad move, but the new ones aint failing.

I got a 360, I flashed it as soon as I bought it for my game "backups"  ;) Fucker got the problem all the 360's get where the solders breaks away, had to fix it myself as MS wouldnt repair it since I opened the case to flash, seem ok now though.

XBox rushed the initial builds to market, but made up for it with a 1.1 billion dollar write off by giving anyone whose XBox malfunctions a free repair and a three year warranty.  The new ones don't have the problem.

PS3 online is free because it sucks.  The XBox destroyed the PS3 in this generation of the console wars, and the numbers prove it.  There are very few exclusive PS3 titles that are considered "console sellers", whereas the the Xbox has franchises like Halo and Gears of War.  It also has a much higher attach rate.

The Xbox has a much superior online experience, and will continue to do so in the future (for example, Netflix HD streaming will be awesome once the library is increased).  Sony took a bath on the PS3, because they thought everyone would shell out $600 for a blu ray player.

I loved my PS2, and even borrowed a PS3 to finish the Metal Gear saga, but would never consider buying one.  Sony just blew it this time.

How is Xbox live better? I've never played it so I can tell the difference , I'll tell you what I'm a bit disappointed with the games on PS3 thus far , love the Blu-ray played and the backwards compatibility

you dont need an extended warranty for a 360, they fix them for free and pay for shipping and handling

Ive sent back 2 360s  :-\

that part sucks but its just a better system with a far far better online system than the ps3 and has better and more games etc

Im going to dog the ps3 though----im going to be getting one soon just for the bluray----its worth buying just for that alone

Waiting on mine to get fixed. Got the rrod 2 months ago and Microsoft gave me a month of crap saying that my 360 didn't exist because they couldn't find the serial number in their database showing that I registered it. They finally registered it after 10 phone calls and multiple times speaking to the manager. The box I can send it back in to get fixed is on the way.

That said, I'd still take it over a PS3. The PS3 game lineup is sorely lacking compared to the 360.

The video quality is VERY noticeable , I'm speaking from experience I have First Blood on regular old DVD and on Blu-Ray and it's very noticeable , depending on the movie I will pay $30 I just paid $35 for the special two disc Dark Knight and I only paid $15 for First Blood , the prices are coming down on most DVDs

and ALL dvds are going to go down eventually it's all going to be downloads the same way CD's are going down vs MP3's it's a storage issue

That last statement is where your wrong.  50 blank blu ray discs is about 250 dollars, that coupled with sony's blackballing of blu ray players that play burned discs will never make blu ray as popular as you think.

360 is better pure and simple from that point alone, if blu ray does take off then we can deal with that when it happens.

Where the fuck do you live, expensive? it's so fucking cheap in the uk, games are cheap and if you look there are good titles, obviously it is not aimed at the same people who buy the 360.

Graphics are not amazing but it's the experience that is new.

MGS4 is a great game if you're a fan of the series.  Be prepared to watch as much as you play, though - we're talking cut scenes over 30 minutes long.  As a stand alone game, I don't think it would come across very well.  The ending was perfect, though, it tied up every loose end.

LBP has really bad control issues.

Rent or borrow a PS3 and you can blast through MGS4 in a week or two.  It's not a console seller.  In fact, hardly any games for the PS3 fell into that category.

Solid state media is where things will head for movies along with downloadable content.  You'll be buying movies on USB sticks in the next couple of years.  Moving media is shit and Blu-Ray was doomed before it even took off.

I have both a PS3 and Xbox 360 and I play my Xbox 100 times more than my PS3, but I do use my PS3 to watch movies with because it upscales DVD's pretty well and of course Blu-Ray is nice for a few movies.

There are some good titles for the PS3 such as MGS4 but there really isn't anything the PS3 has, game wise, that the 360 doesn't.

I agree with all this.

Microsoft made a gaming system that has additional multimedia capabilities.  Sony made a great blu-ray player that plays video games.

XBox has superior online capabilites, superior exclusive content, and superior controller.  Sony has a superior DVD player.

When I grew up playing games, starting with the Atari 2600, I always imagined how cool it would be to play against another player with from the perspective of your own screen.  Basically, no split screens, or, like in the case of Madden, no peeking at the other guy's plays, etc.  Online delivers this, both in head to head competition, and co-op play.  Playing against 4-8 friends is a total blast,as is teaming up to play random people around the world.  Yes, there are your collection of online idiots who are only there to spoil it, but their numbers are small compared to those who want to play for fun/competition.

From a controller standpoint, which is all subjective, the biggest selling point to me for the 360 are the offset thumb sticks, which fall in a more natural position and are more comfortable.  The size and weight also make it better for me, and the triggers are superior.  The PS3 controller has barely changed since the PSOne, and feels cheap by comparison.

Thanks for making an attempt at explaining the online I was talking specifically compared to Playstation online service , people keep saying it's better I'm just wondering how , I don't play much online though other than MK2

and you're right the stick really hasn't changed I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it and the Playstation 3 controllers suck because I'm already on my third one previous 2 broke from normal use I still have all of my PS2 controllers in excellent working condition

I think the biggest difference is that there really aren't any games for the PS3, exclusively, that offer great online play.  The games for the Xbox, which are just ported to the PS3, such as the Call of Duty series, Gears of War (huge online community) series, Left for Dead (new but great co-op online play), Madden series, Halo 3 (biggest online game), all of these games were made for the Xbox, some exclusive and some are ported to the PS3, have massive online communities. 

Personally, the Xbox Live interface is much more developed and geared towards online play, especially the newly designed interface.  The PS3 has the same capabilities, but keeping track of friends, sending messages, getting online with specific friends into specific games is a much smoother experience on the Xbox than the PS3.

Great answer, I answered the wrong question.

I would like to add that on the XBox you can see what your friends are doing, whereas you can't on the PS3.  You can send game invites to those not playing the same game, and also play while downloading stuff.  XBox Live! is more stable as well.

Yes.  4 was made by Infinity Ward, who also made 2.  3 and World at War are Treyarch, and are definitely not as good.  I didn't even bother buying WaW because I was pretty sure it would suck.

My first 360 got the Red ring of death after 2 years and my new Elite is noisy as hell too. GOW2 , Ninja Gaiden 2, , Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Soul Calibur 4 Madden 09, GTA4 and Halo 3 and you're good to go. If you are into RPGs then 360 has the best. PS3..Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Assassin's Creed, COD4 (free online play), Resistance 1-2, Dead Space (play it at night with a good sound system will freak you out) and a blu-ray player.

Okay I'm not a nerd. I'm not a nerd. I'm not a nerd. I'm not a nerd.  ;D

Those are all available for the 360 as well.  But yea, Dead Space gets a big thumbs up from me as well, game definitely will freak you out if you're playing it in a dark room at night with good sound.  They really nailed the suspense and some shit-your-pants-jump-out-of-the-seat moments.

I bought my dad, who's 56, a PS3 for Christmas this year, he bought himself an Xbox Elite last year so now he's all set with his 60" HD-TV =)

56 and gaming means your dad is awesome. 2009 is gonna be a good game year with God of War 3, Killzone 2 (if it isn't sh*t like the first), RE5  8). I'd like them to make a good next gen Manhunt game and make it violent like the first.

God of War 3 should kick some serious ass, 2 was phenomenal from what they did with it on the PS2.  Manhunt was a pretty cool concept but it became really repetitive killing guys the same way over and over, too little variation made it get boring too quickly.  I remember Rockstar catching a lot of flack for it as well and it was banned in several countries so I'm not sure if they'll go down that road again, but hopefully they will =)

I'm looking forward to RE5 as well, should be pretty freakin sweet.

XBOX 360 RULES!!!! 

Too bad mine just died over the holidays so I couldn't play Left 4 Dead and I couldn't play it for the six days I just had off.  Talk about one pisssed off customer...the thing had to die on my vacation time. 

Other than that, yes, you have to pay for Xbox online.  You get so much more than playing online for it though.  Free demos, free news, previews, reviews, news, events, etc.  It's crazy what is available for the 360, plus now we have Netflix.  That is one sweet deal! 

I'm just sad that as all this new stuff is being released we will soon see the Xbox 720...Microsoft already has a patent on the name.  We will probably hear more talk about it in 2009, a preview of some hardware/console in 2010 and a release in either 2011 or 2012.

I borrowed a PS3 just to finish that series, and it was worth it.   The series was wrapped up beautifully.

I would never even consider buying a PS3 for it, though.  XBox 360 destroyed the PS3 in almost every aspect.

It was expected, though.   Nobody dominates the console wars for three straight generations.
