My XBox 360 seems to work better and better every day. I'm continually bombarded with new features and it works great with either 1080i or 1080p and if I want HD DVD I can buy a cheap add-on that also works with my Mac. Thank you Microsoft for doing it right.
The 360 is a good system but it is MORE expensive than a PS3 for a true entertainment center. Besides for the 360 fanboys tell me the last time you bought a 360 Game and didn't receive a patch, for a game ffs... If memory serves me well the first day Gears of War came out it had a magically day-0 patch ... so much for quality Cert testing..Sony produces better quality products, regardless of who can see beyond their own site. Same goes with this gaming console. They cater to the consumer. Things you guys don't see is how MS rips your ass off down the road. Most of us typically dished out 399 dollars for a 360. Whether you got the core system plus a pathetic 20 Gig HDD or a Premium. Now to make matters worse you have a wireless controller that they force you to buy a 'Rechargable' Battery pack plus an adapter. There is another $20 dollars down the drain. So far total costs are at $419 dollars. Want to make the most out of your system ? Add the HD-DUD... Now you have bless Microsoft with $619 dollars of your money. Not to mention to be on the PS3 level we have to add the $100 dollar Wifi adapter, total you are at now is $719.The PS3, is catered to a unique user experience, you are spending more money initially but into a FUTURE investment. Meaning yes kids... you are saving money. If I want to upgrade my HD I can go to Newegg spend $100 dollars on a 160 gig hard drive vs a pathetic $20 gig from MS. No battery adapters, the controller recharges itself (Great Plus). To top it off HD-DUD will lose, mainly due to weak support from movie studios face the facts, regardless of sony bashers the system will serve its purpose. Cut these guys some slack. As far as these 'the graphics are the same posts' that is actually a PLUS being that they are all first generation titles, so if they are on 360's level to begin with you can imagine once the developers get comfortable with the unit and utilizing the processors the performance jumps we will see.
Please don't ban Xianfrost. I found myself skipping most posts to find out what other asinine statements he would make. Reading his increasingly angry rants greatly amused me. It was fun to picture some 12 year old crybaby getting redder and redder throughout the day while smashing the caps lock key to show all of you how dumb you are for liking the 360. Real humor like that is hard to come by.
Does the PS3 play ISOs like early versions of PSPs can? Well, they should be "fixed" soon. Also, the story submitter should win an award for least helpful description ever. Congrats!
Wow. This persuasive argument has convinced me to cancel my Wii preorder (it hasn't launched here in Oz yet) and wait until next year for the PS3 (because it isn't going to launch here for a long old while).Also, I am convinced that I need to uninstall XP from my work laptop and install linux as well as start a class action against Bill Gates for obviously molesting me as a child.Thank you mr frost, you have truly opened my eyes.
So ther argument is Xbox 360 has issues still cause it's been out a year ? So lets ignore that fact by swaying the sided vote to Hey lets wait for Ps3 speculation screw ups as they have been only out for 2 weeks. Gee now thats backwards logic !

xianfrost, let me say what everyone is thinking: SHUT THE f**k UP.this was never about the 360 vs ps3. a few people made comparisons and then you showed up and started slamming it. I have a 360, and guess what? it has never crashed, over-heated, exploded or actually given me any trouble at all. if you want to "go with the statistics", then how about this:CNET News - November 23, 2005Xbox-Scene News - Wednesday 23 November 2005GamesIndustry.biz - 06/12/2005Slashdot - Wed Nov 23, '05IGN - December 5, 2005Kotaku - Article not found, but i did find THIS: "...your source for gaming gossip..."looks to me like you are not looking at your sources. you're in the wrong year, this is 2006, and all the sources you have were 2005 problems. im not saying that there arent still problems, but im sure if i googled something like "sony issues" or maybe "(whatever your name is) problems" id get hits also. thats because the internet is so friggin huge, and anyone can put their two cents out there.EDIT: haha, looks like hes been kicked off digg.
