Xbox 360 FTW.
Netflix owns
Live owns
NXE Update makes them silent, PS3's have blue-ray but noone appreciating the high quality outputs of blue-ray is going to like the hurricane that is the PS3.
360 has more games & runs them better. higher frame rates & less clipping to get them.
360 controller wont give you carpal tunnel
Live owns
Netflix owns

Only thing the ps3 is good at is Folding@Home - which if that's important to you a $150-200 video card in a PC will royaly trounce.

Can't rip Walmart off on Playstation hardware you like can Xbox.
Xbox fails, 20 minute trip to walmart.
Walmart = free live, free cam, free controllers, free HD and memory.
Walmart = free game rotation

All hail the power of the Walmart + 360

i get people who tell me all the time that the ps3 is a low quality blu ray player. they are all dumb shits. blu ray is made by only one company currently, and thats sony. ps3 = sony. top quality ----

ive actually never played either, but i guess id get the ps3.

PS1 was a great CD player, PS2 was a great dvd player PS3 has a great blue-ray player built in.


But it's loud as ---- and I dont see anyone with a PS3 enjoying that and huge surround sound.

Re: XBOX 360 VS PS3 Currently
 

I like how you are saying the PS3 is loud when the Xbox360 is notorious for being loud. Hell, half the people that got RROD did because they stored their Xbox in an enclosed space with decent ventilation because the sucker was so noisy.

Re: XBOX 360 VS PS3 Currently
 

My 360 is ------- loud, as they all are. You can upgrade the fans to get them a bit quieter, but I'd say 80% of the noise comes from the DVD drive and you can't do ---- about it. I don't watch movies on the 360, but I do turn up my surround sound during gaming so the noise isn't bothersome.

RROD's are not caused by overheating. They are caused by cold soldier joints - themselves caused by using the wrong type of solder for the wash application on the motherboards.
The RROD is caused by:
1) The GPU solder joints busting as the CPU and GPU loose their initial torque settings - which flex the board
2) RAMDAC solder joints busting as the CPU and GPU loose their initial torque settings - which flex the board
3) CPU solder joints busting as the CPU and GPU loose their initial torque settings - which flex the board

The actual amount of board flexing via thermal expansion of a general 4 & 6 layer PCB of this type (green Fiber reinforced resin) is around 6 millionths of an inch between 65*F and 300*F. The board itself would never see a fluxuation between 60*F and 155*F. The stabalized operating temp on the board for any of them is 140-150*F.




The NXE update provides Netflix, more streaming from a PC and ripping game content to the hard drive. The xbox is as silent as my new Onkyo TX-SV606 reciever. As in, SILENT you stupid un-knowledgeable cock sucker.

Re: XBOX 360 VS PS3 Currently
 

What torque settings are you talking about?

Re: XBOX 360 VS PS3 Currently
 

They're screwed in so tightly the boards bend. Then loosen over handling and time flexing the board more. Let the blood back to your brain jesus

Re: XBOX 360 VS PS3 Currently
 

I have both, buy my PS3 :P
