I would agree with the theme of the thread. I never owned a xbox but did buy the 360 and the games library is impressive and the online is amazing and XBLA is really good. Reliability was the one glaring issue, as well as lack of forward thinking (blue ray HD DVD) though that may have been smart in hindsight

The PS3 was the system I was waiting for and to date have still not bought. There are some good games coming but I couldnt dish out $500.00, and in my mind its not worth $400.00 when my 360 can do anything it can do. The inconsistent BC is an issue for me cause I have 50 plus ps2 games and would like not to have to invest in another ps2 mine is six years old and about to go.

Didnt need BC on the 360 as stated did not have an xbox but the BC of the 360 is actually better than the PS3, I find that ironic

 

360 BC better than PS3s uuh no. Second the 360 CANNOT do anything the PS3 can do and since you say that then will you please elaborate, even though I still will disagree

Obvsiouly you have never had a 360 they have emulation software (the idea sony is know using) to be able to play Xbox games on the 360.  About 80-85% of the old library can be played on the 360 if you have a online connection.  The PS3 on some models has 0 backwards compataiblty on others its going to usees software emulation and currenlty not a large portion of the libary has the software.  Provided a link so you can see the models and BC.  You can disagree all you want wont change the facts

As a matter of fact I have TWO 360's - Halo edition and Elite (and got my first 360 in Dec 2005 before it failed) and TWO BC PS3s that both EXCEED 85%  the MGS4 80GB PS3 and launch 60GB PS3 so I think I would know what I'm talking about. And as a former Gamestop employee I would know what systems are BC and which are not Thank you. And as for the PS3 BC the models that are BC don't require an online connection like the 360 does so as I said 360 BC > PS3 BC uuumm. NO.

 

 

1) You are the one that asked me to elaborate there you got short term memory loss whichi I did wiht a fact based response.

2) congrats on havin 4 systems seems a tad exsessiuve but to each his own

3) Everything I stated in my post is correct, the PS3 needs software emulation and has it cuyrrenlty on less games than the 360m and 2 models currenly on sale have 0 BC as stated.  So not sure how you are calling that a victory.  My biggest issue is the Ps3 as you know was 100% BC as you own the model and its no longer available whats with that.  When the PS3 launched all I heard is the PS3 is 100% BC and xbox isnt my post is saying thats no longer true and why I dont currently own one

Yeah and we all know and trust gamestop employees
