My youngest sister got a 360 for Christmas and, while I'm normally the type to think that fighting over video game console supremacy is re ed, I couldn't believe how cheap it felt.
GOW3 is the only reason I'll consider getting PS3 in the foreseeable future.
xbox as a hardware system is a piece of
I just watched " Wanted " and " Dark Night " on a 42' 1080p LCD HDTV, on my PS3.
(the TV is my brother's, lol)
The PS3 is just one of the top 3, if not the best, Blu-Ray player.![]()

I saw Dark Knight on a 46' 1080P LCD HDTV on my 360 also, except I saw it a week before it even came out at stores.
Sorry, I forgot to mention those were Blu-Ray DVD's![]()
Bluray rip, look nearly as good, cost nothing...
But not to hate, I have a PS3 also, but right now I only own one Blu-Ray, I prefer rips...
Blu-Rays are expensive.
Ripping is the way to go...
How so? I felt the exact opposite the first time I used the flimsy PS3 controller, which I thought felt like a huge downgrade from the PS2 Dual-Shocks.
The Sixaxis controllers that launched with the PS3 were much lighter because they didn't have vibration, but otherwise identical to the PS2 controllers. Now that they've got wireless Dual-Shocks for the PS3, they're exactly the same. Best controllers of any system, as far as I'm concerned, but now wireless and rechargeable.
I was talking more about the console itself feeling cheap, though. The PS3 is probably a little too big and heavy, but it feels much sturdier. Doesn't help that, within about ten seconds of taking the 360 out of the box, my 16-year-old sister lightly touched one of the memory card slots with her pinky and it broke off inside the machine.
I'm probably gonna finally play GOW 2 for the first time since my 360 rrod.
Ok... I haven't played a PS3 since before launch, and all we had then was those ty original sixaxis that felt like they'd break into a million pieces if you so much as dropped it on the ground.
Because they're light?
Sony controllers are made extremely well. I don't know how you can feel that they're cheap unless you only equate weight with build-quality.
I will give them credit for having great range. I played a PS3 from about 80 feet away one time and it still worked correctly. They still felt really fragile though.
After the Dual-Shocks on the PS2, it took me a while to get used to how light the Sixaxis controllers are. Dropped them enough times to know they're sturdy, though.
I've never really thought about it, but does the PS3 controller not rumble?
The Sixaxis does not, the Dual Shock 3 does.
Sony ed up big time on the ps3 gamingwise. the games suck and technology crappy. But I would never own a Microcrap gaming box either. Xbox hardware sucks ass.
I use my ps3 for watching movies, somehting I would not be able to with xbox. When I wanna play games, I use my pc
well i use my 360 for games/movies/netflix so booya!
now i know blueray players are expensive but why buy a console and not play games on it? did you really buy it for just the blueray capabilities? and if so can you really tell that much of a difference from dvd to blueray because if your naked eye can't then you just wasted a buttload of money and could've just gone out and bought a $30 dvd player that could also play DivX and whatnot.
i haven't been impressed yet by the ps3 except that it doesn't get rrod like the 360. all in all i am still happy i got a 360.
Does PS3 officially support most codecs (XViD, x264, Divx, etc) and containers (mp4, mkv, avi, wmv, etc.)? The 360's video streaming is cool, but it sucks that it doesn't play everything.
