I think the PS3 has a lot of potential, but after two years it still has yet to capitalize on it. Generally Xbox 360 is at least the better value; cheaper system, more games worth buying.
The online communities are both full of immature people who hurt the enjoyment of online gaming than they help it.

I'd quite like a PS3 but I only want one if it has backwards compatibility. They're both good machines, The PS3 looks a lot nicer and doesn't make anywhere near as much noise. I'm on my 4th xbox 360, they keep repairing it though, it's a launch day one so it doesn't even have HDMI.
It really comes down to the games. If you have both then you're set. People obviously criticise the others because they don't want to admit that the other system may be as good if not better.
What annoys me is the people's misunderstanding of Blu-Ray. Just because a disc can hold more data doesn't mean that things like textures will be better. They've still got to be handled by the CPU and GPU. Of course you can fit more data on a Blu-Ray disc which technically means you could put more content on it but it's very rare that you would have to unless the game was full of video.

I've had fanboys literally attempt to smash a PSP I was playing, and later when I pointed out to them that not everything Nintendo makes is actually good and maybe they should try branching away from tired series, I was met with both pretentious dismissal and outrage.DK412 said:
Also, one member of this group can often be seen wearing an actual Wii-mote around his neck. In public places.
These are real people? Sounds like cartoon characters.willard3 said:
I'm not into the flamewars and things like that but it does piss me off when a certain company (like Bethesda) decide to release a game on all the consoles but only support (and I mean fixing game freezing glitches not DLC or any other crap they try to sell superfluously) one or two versions.
I too spent a couple of months trying to decide between 360 and ps3 as most the games I was interested in were on both systems. However, the downloadable PSN games seemed more my style than those I had already played to death years ago for sale on XBLA and the VC. What did it was the death of HDVD (as I had just got an HDTV), free PSN service (I love totally free demos), and honestly the RROD: getting that after spending hundreds of dollars would've pissed me off not to mention the fact that people were (at the time) coming forward and saying MS pushed out the 360 with the RROD problem intentionally to get a years jump on the other companies.
However that doesn't mean I'm not envious of 360 owners too. The consumer development kit (I forget what they call it) is a great idea that I wish sony & nintendo would implement. I also dig the fact that you can customize the soundtrack to any game; sony tried that and completely screwed it up. But when I added & negated all the pros and cons, I had to go with the ps3.
Hopefully one day all the systems will have a standard programming system so we can try whatever software we want regardless of what machine we own. I guess that's too much to ask for.
There are no "wars" going on in this sense. It's just a bunch of people who like one more than the other. I think it's a little silly how there are fanboys for each because you don't work for or make money from either company I'm guessing.
What makes it worse is that after about 3 hours of playing the Wii starts to suck ass...alot...AndyFromMonday said:
I really want a 360 mainly for the perk of talking to anyone online at any time and for Halo and Left 4 Dead. Valve gave the PS3 version to EA just like they did with the Orange Box and I'm scared to see what'll happen to it. Most likely it will be the same street and underground railway levels over and over again...
EDIT: Oh yes, I neglected to mention that I already own a PS3, but that's only because I wanted to stay in familiar territory with having been raised up on Playstation since about the age of 6.
the differences between the 360 and the PS3 are like the differences between a suspension bridge and a beam bridge yes there are defiantly differences but in the end they both get you where you want to go.
I wonder to myself....should we have a "system wars" board so that it stays out of GD? It's like, a little slice of hell for Trolls to enjoy.
