@Vate : Bah,my reasoning is not that great.When I have to come up with a plan or I'm discussing philosophy/religion/possibilities with some of my interested friends,that's when sh*t gets serious.There are recordings of people who know what they are talking about on the internet,Lawrence Krauss(I highly recommend "A universe from nothing") and Dean Leysen(his entire Youtube channel is full of quality content).Anywho,getting sidetracked here.
Now about the PS3,I consider it better.Several reasons for that.
- Free online multiplayer(if you want premium content,there is a subscription option).
- Blu-ray Player.Yep.Xbox 360 used HD-DVD for a time.Maximum disc capacity - 15 GB.PS3 used Blu-ray since the beginning and is still using it now.Maximum capacity - 60 gb(I read an article somewhere saying that 400gb capacity blu-ray disks are being developed).
- Region-free games.Meaning that you could by something from Europe and play it on a US console(as long as you use an HDTV).Can't do that with Xbox 360.
- No Red Ring Of Death.Sure,they have Yellow Light Of Death,but it is extremely rare.Just google RROD,and then YLOD.Xbox 360 consoles at the beginning had a failure rate of 33%.After a console was repaired,it had an even better chance of failing.Plus,overheating when on for a few hours ? I've had my Ps3 running for several days(while using a slow connection to move files through FTP) and I could barely hear the thing(and I have the old 80GB model)
- More and higher-quality games(my opinion). I mean mostly the exclusives by that.The only games I regret not being to play on Xbox 360 is Alan Wake(same creator as the Max Payne series,which I adore).Some people like Halo,but meh.I've seen enough shooters in my lifetime and I don't find anything particularly good in this series(and I've seen gameplay videos).And now,the PS3 Exclusives : Demon's Souls(RPG),God Of War III(hack'n'slash,and I dare you to find something in Xbox 360 that looks as amazing as this game),Heavenly Sword(hack'n'slash),Heavy Rain(Interactive drama,I love it to pieces),inFAMOUS 1 and 2(superhero games,I love them to pieces),Killzone 2 and 3,Resistance : FoM,2 and 3(for the shooter fans),Metal Gear Solid 4(The entire MGS series are PS exclusive[while ports do exist],and are famous for being awesome),the Motorstorm series(awesome over-the-top offroad games),Yakuza 3 and 4(fighter/rpg,I heart them),The Uncharted series(Uncharted 2 won most of the GOTY awards when it was introduced) ... I'm sure I'm missing something,but you get the point.The Playstation 3 exclusives are simply better and more diverse.
The only thing I didn't like at the beginning is that multiplatform games looked worse on the PS3.The reason is that it uses an innovative cell processor technology,which is considerably better than what the Xbox 360 uses(the Xbox tech is very similar to what most computers use),but it is really hard to write code for.It also has less video memory than the Xbox 360 has,but it runs at a much higher frequency,so it doesn't make a big difference.I once again urge you to look at God of War III,Heavy Rain or Uncharted 2 gameplay to see what the machine is actually capable of.Sony is much more supportive of indie games,which developers appreciate.There are multiple high-quality minigames on the PS store,and from what I've played they are fun.Joe Danger,Echochrome,etc.
Well,there goes another rant.Hope you enjoy this reasoning.Also,I've started playing Fahrenheit on my laptop.The same guy who wrote and directed Heavy Rain is behind it,and it's made by the same studio.And it's f*cking awesome.In the US,the game is called Indigo Prophecy.That's a censored version,with some nudity and content removed.Since I don't believe I should play a game that's regulated and cut up by someone else's standarts,I got the EU version and I'll continue enjoying it now
