fuck, searching for your comment was like searching for a needle in a haystack. holy fuck was that hard lol! and it if were just discounts i would see the funny part too. but we both know PS+ offers so much more, and so much value for what your paying

Oh, wow, you really got us PS3 users there, didn't you? /sarcasm

PS3's can play and download CDs and DVDs as well. Also plays Blu-rays and upscales the DVDs to a slightly higher resolution. 

Really people? I thought from the onset it was decided that the PS3 was the better entertainment console while the 360 was the better gaming console of this gen? 

AAA means the budget of the game not the score, also the Wii has 14 games over 90 on Metacrtic.

there isnt value in a #3 at mcdonalds but people buy it.  i think its so laughable at all the live bashers worrying about what others do with their money.  as soon as sony came out with plus now paying for somethingis good.  i have both just because $100 a year is less than i spend going to the movies twice a month.  some of you pay monthly for porn sites.  whats the value in that? add in the lotion, sanitation wipes, towels, new keyboard and live seems like a bargain

In reference to the quote, that is  what all companies do. They attempt to keep their product in the spotlight and keep attention away from other competing products. I see nothing in that statement that would even suggests what you are inferring.  A lot of gamers are mainly Xbox gamers, and I'm sure many have just as much, or more, knowledge and dedication to gaming than you or I. To say that real gamers chose the PS, as well as assuming the majority of 360 fans aren't real gamers, seems like some pretty arrogrant statements. Gamers have different tastes and preferences, that's why all 3 home consoles have sold so well this generation. There are also primarily PC gamers and handheld gamers as well.

The Xbox fanbase has been less vocal than the PS fanbase. Especially as a whole. Talk regarding this generation started last generation. The Xbox was ridiculed constantly, and it was about how little it sold compared to the PS. Yes, PS fans constantly talk about sales as well. In the beginning of this generation, it was just wait until the PS3 is released. It really was expected that they would fight back and ridicule the PS3 for the less than dominating start that was proclaimed by it's loyal fans. Then there was all the RROD vs how PS3 had no games; there were also a lot of comments on wait til next year and how every new year was going to be the year of the PS.

As for the sales part, there are plenty of discussion over sales of PS games against Xbox games. Gran Turismo versus Forza, Uncharted and Gears of War, etc. Can you really say that PS fans don't claim that Gran Turismo sales are better than Forza's?

Anyway, enough of this. As you say it is your opinion; good day.

You did ok up here, you'll get used to it.

@Sales2099 - I always find it hilarious the way you so desperately try to put sony down in order to make up for MS's shortcomings (in the gaming department if you were wondering). 

In addition to what cgi has already mentioned it should be noted that Sony only bought Sucker Punch AFTER Infamous 2 had launched which means that I2 was profitable and that sony were very happy with the product. With regards to LBP - sales of the retail game do not show the whole story. LBP arguably brought new innovations with its "Play Create Share" idea which sony has adopted hugely as well as the LBP IP itself. Add to this the huge number of DLCs that the LBP franchise has no doubt sold so far and is still selling in fact (potentially even more than the revenue from the retail game itself) and it is very possible that the franchise  could be even more profitable than GeOW.

All I see you trying to do is spin the story so that xbox comes out in a good light. Lets face it - sony have sold a number of devs lately but that is not surprising in the context of the current environment and sony's situation and it only makes sense to let go of lesser studios. You dont see anyone blaming sony for this or bad feelings - they are doing what they have to and they only started closing studios down when they got into trouble. You dont see the same from MS - from what I understand they are extremely profitable and making billions from the xbox and you still see them closing studios. 

First the McD's thing makes no sense imo

Second I don't care how people spend their money. Only pointed out the difference in services. Paying for XBL Gold allows you play online. Nothing more. It's a pay wall. Your experience playing a game online with XBL Gold is the same as playing it on PC or PS3. 

The point is I can't think of any TV devices that are at par with the 360. The only thing you can come up with is a PC, but that's not ideal for less savvy users. Maybe some Windows 8 or Android device will close that gap in the future.

If I care strictly about multimedia, I'd lose the PS3 and get a Bluray player. I'd stay with the 360 because its the best machine for streaming media other than a PC.

Oh boy... you're gonna keep arguing moneY? You aren't considering the games. My favorite games to play online aren't on the PS3. Hence, I payed extra to play the games I enjoy. I don't want settle with crap on PS3 because its free to play.

Its actually less than $420 because it became $60 just a few years ago. But that doesn't sound like a lot of money for 7 years of entertainment.

Spin it all you want, but the 360 is actually one of my cheapest entertainment expenses that I get a lot of value from. It doesn't matter if I can save money just playing my PS3 online. The problem is I don't care for what PS3 offers so its not worth my time even for free.
