Xbox 360 vs. Playsation 3

[unmei]

Both have their advantages. I don't regret either purchase. It's true that most games don't come close to touching the power that the ps3 is capable of, particularly the multi console ones since most are developed with the 360 in mind, then ported from there to the ps3. If you're mostlyy thinking about multi plat form games (and I don't know what you play outside of nba2k) You're probably going to get more out of a 360 just because it has a more active online community from what I've noticed (though I prefer playing my Fifa games on the ps3 personally)

360 has the added advantage of having a partnership with netflix allowing for conveniently streaming movies from their servers, while ps3 has the added advantage of being a moderately priced BD player if you want one of those.

But what it really comes down to is the exclusives. That's the deal maker for any console purchase in the end. PS3 has some nice exclusives on the way this year like inFamous and Among Thieves. For the record, for long term gaming sessions I definitely find the ps3's controller more comfortable.

i have both systems and use my ps3 way more. i have the 60 gig model so i can play ps1,ps2 and ps3 games.this followed by the fact that the ps3 upscales all my older games and dvds to 1080p. i prefer the online on ps3 as well.

in my personal experiences,i have come across much more racism and/or stupidity on xbox live. i know this isnt the case for everyone,just stating my experience. i use my 360 for final fantasy xi only (which will probably stop as i have installed it on my pc)as i buy all multi-platform games on ps3.i also prefer fifa 09 on ps3 lol.

there is a very active online community on ps3 despite what people like to say.i never have a problem getting games goin on any of my online games,especially street fighter 4,unreal tournament 3 or fifa 09. sorry for the long post.

I took the advice...Since I didn't have enough money for a PS3. I decided to get a 360.

I set it up and I played with the Arcade games. This morning I turned it on and it's not fucking working!

I was going to get the warranty but I didn't have enough. :shakefist

 

[unmei]

not working how?

Also don't worry about the warranty, just return it with the receipt, getting the extended warranty is only in case it dies after the first 90 days.

...told ya?

I dunno, how's it not working? Red rings? That numberletterwhateverthehell error? It might be covered under the M$ warranty.

 

[Synch]

if you just brought it sounds like you're still covered just take it back to the store... & yes perhaps some more details on just how its not working?!

That's just bad luck.

I hope you were smart enough not to buy it used. An Xbox 360 is the last console you would want to buy used. As previously stated, all you have to do it take it back within the 3 month period and they'll gladly exchange it. If you did buy it used, I believe you only have a 1 month warranty. Mind you this applies at Gamestop or EB. I have no clue where you bought the console.

I brought it back and they wouldn't take it. I tired to speak with the manager but it was no use.

Did you try contacting Microsoft?

where did you buy it from? If it's from a mainstream shop like bestbuy, gamestop/eb or gamecrazy they have to take it back (provided you have whatever paperwork they gave you at the time
