Video Game Console Poll

[Ldub]

I had 3 different PS3s, all junk, blu ray drives failed, Sony does nothing for you. My 1st gen 360 failed after a few years, xbox fixed it for free and gave me one year xbox live for free as well. Sony does not help you beyond the warranty, nor do they offer any compensation.

The PS3 overall is far from being as good as it should be. Considering it had over 1 year to make improvements over the XBOX360. The controller is junk, no removeable battery pack, and it has to be plugged in to charge...and IT DOES NOT TURN ITSELF OFF!!!! If you are using the PS3 Blu ray drive to watch a movie, gotta remember to turn off the controller, or buy their stupid DVD remote.
The OS on PS3 is a joke, it is the same non-user friendly POS that the PSP uses. Granted it is free, as compared to XBOX live, but I can watch netflix via my xbox, stream all the videos/music/photos that are on my computers with one click, very user friendly and intuitive, even my wife can do it

I traded my PS3 for another 360, and have never looked back since.

Funny, I completely disagree.

Can't speak for anyone elses experience, & I feel no need to trash any of the other systems, but mine has been running strong on a daily basis since 12-06.
Just cleaned the lens for the first time ever last week...

PS3?...works for me!

Every once in a while I get out my nintendo and play Zelda on it and listen to my TEAC reel to reel tape player. I understand you can get some really good graphics on a super nintendo, but I can't see the advantage if you've only got a black and white TV. My TV is so old I'm still getting original episodes of "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Andy Griffin show". Been thinkin about trying to play "Call to Duty", but i don't know if they have it for my Nintendo.

i can't belive nobody has metioned "home" for ps3. great online community that uses an actual virtual world, not just texting like myspace and facebook. you actually create a caracter that looks like you and you can walk around and talk to people (wether its to just chat, or get people together for and online game). just check this out you'll c what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyquAXKeEI0 my roomate has a 360 and after i bought my ps3, despite how many titles the 360 has (including fable) he wants to get rid of it and get a ps3. also you cant forget, if you have the "eye" you can have live video chats with other people, which is nice if you want to c them and not just hear them like with a phone (say a realative that lives a ways away, or a sick friend that you don't want to visit - did it). oh, and lastly, the selling point - GOW3 in march. by the way. if you have a ps3 and love fps games - check out "army of two" - badass, got my copy for $10 at a pawn shop. good old fashioned cheap kickass fun on a disc. remember as well, there aren't too many titles ps3 has under its belt now, but look at how many there were for the previous 2 generations. ps3 has not even come close to reaching its peak. it is still in its infancy, a baby that hasn't learned to crawl yet. i see great things in its future.

Yeah, I love my 360, but hands down, no bull**** it's the biggest piece of crap on earth. I've been through two and EVERY SINGLE friend I have that bought theirs pre 2009 has had the RROD and had to send it in. Only one of them has had to send in their PS3 and sony paid for it completely. Microsoft did as well, but it's just that fact that so many of them die. Not to mention that it's still the most capable blu ray system out there.

The 360 also sounds like a jetplane taking off, whereas I barely hear my PS3 at all.

I mean, there are a lot of merits to argue on, but the entire internet would tell you that the 360 is crap build-quality.
