Let me start by saying anyone who qoutes the opening poster word for word needs to be slapped.
Anyway, I really don't care about the 360 anymore. I've got two of them. Both got red ring of death around the same time. However, the 1st one just needed to be sent to microsoft.. The other 360... freaggin'... CURED ITSELF of RRoD. Neither has done it since. But, I'm puzzled as to how the 2nd one managed to just decide not to have RRoD anymore.
My second problem with the 360 is how it scratches discs. If that happens, and I cant get it fixed for under 5 bucks, or replaced, hey, I just wasted 60 bucks, because I'm not buying another copy of the game.
3rd problem is paying for xbox live... I just used my brothers live account, no sense in us BOTH paying for it, right?
4th problem. You can't re-order the controllers after they're turned on. So, what you have to do is turn them on in the order you want. PS3, however, allows you to change them 1-7, btw, we need more 5p+ PS3 games...
The last, and smallest problem I have with the 360 is the directional pad. It's complete crap when playing fighters. I love my fighting games. More so than shooters. I don't even have a shooter... closest thing to a FPS I have is MGS4. But, when trying to pull of moves, in say, BlazBlue for example. I screwed up my combos 80% of the time, and couldn't move the way I wanted. So much accidental jumping.. It's like fighters aren't playable with a standard 360 controller.
When I play on PS3, I don't worry about accidental jumping, or screwing up my combos. I use a standard, out-of-the-box Dual Shock 3 controller, and, in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, I doubt I'd ever be able to do cHK+Sublimation+ tour de magie + HP + super schwarzaile with a 360 controller. Ruby Heart's awesome... and so is Jin.
I don't think anyone believes the myths, but, people say PSN lags. I really haven't personally noticed 360, or PSN lagging too much. But, I have noticed lag from BOTH of them. But, to me, the experience is mostly lag free. I hardly ever lag in MvC2 online, and maybe had to quit no more than 5 battles online, but, that was due to the other player(s) being too far away... But, with BlazBlue, I've played people in Japan with no lag on PSN, beat them down, and they sent me friend requests, lol. And, when we play, we still don't lag.
