The thread has been derailed enough, but a few quick points:

Sony secured Crash Bandicoot and other PS1 titles by offering favourable publishing deals, and they didn't have to pay for exclusivity of GTA on PS2 either. As a matter of fact, R* offered GTA3 to Microsoft and THEY TURNED IT DOWN. If you have evidence to prove moneyhatting in any of the cases you cite, I suggest you present it rather than just making stuff up (which you have clearly done).

Sony paid Rockstar for exclusvity. It's common knowledge. You continue to prove my point with your baseless arguments. The main reason everyone was surprised that GTAIV was going to be a simultaneous release was because Sony had always paid for exclusvity before. As soon as the exclusvity deal expired Rockstar release GTA3 and Vice City on X-box as the Grand Theft Auto Double Pack. The Double Pack released 2 years after GTA3 on PS2 and 1 year after Vice City on PS2. Sony paid for a 12 month exclusivity on GTA3 and Vice City and 6 month exclusivity on San Andreas. San Andreas released on October 26, 2004 for PS2 and June 7, 2005 on X-box. Its the internet, if you aren't going to the research don't post and make yourself look foolish.

The PS3's library is definitely not more FPS heavy than the 360's. Aside from Resistance I can't think of a single one that isn't also on 360. Again, what is the relevance of PS3 JRPGs to the 360's library?

Its called diversity. As in, I can get more types of games in more genres on my 360 than I could on a PS3. The only genre that is lacking on 360 is the platformer genre, the only game I believe is available is Kameo: Elements of Power. Of course the only platformer I recall being released on PS3 is Ratchet & Clank so its the PS3 isn't exactly diverse in the genre eithers. If a console is completely barren in a certain genre JRPGs for example, it automatically makes that consoles library heavier in every other genre.

Posting pictures of faulty PSPs won't increase the failure rate, or prevent me from being correct. The PS1+2+P were all within normal failure rates for electronic products. Not that anecdotal evidence means anything, but I don't know a single person with any of them that failed within the manufacturers warranty; I know of at least 10 RRoDs. If you can find factual evidence of failure rates exceeding normal levels, I would be happy to back down. If you can find factual evidence of failure rates for any of them getting close to the failure rates of the 360, I will give you all my money and proclaim you a living god.

This isn't anecdotal

DMC4 was multiplatform and therefore irrelevant, HSG and R&C have never been big sellers and certainly were not expected by any rational party to make the PS3 dominate. None of those franchises has ever broken 3 million, even on a platform with an install base in excess of 100 million.

Tell that to half of the Sony fanboy contingent on this vary site that continually said other wise until the said games didnt' turn around the PS3's fortunes. Even now victims of SSMS point to MGS4 turning around the PS3's fortunes in Japan when the MGS series has never been a huger seller and has pushed the most units in the west. Don't get me started on Killzone 2.

The Playstation Analog Stick was unveiled in August 1995 and released April 1996, two months before the release of the N64.

Okay that is flat out lie. The Dual Shock controller released neared the end 1997 in Japan and in May of 1998 in the US both dates are well after the N64 was released.

I had no intention of listing Sony's many contributions to the gaming world, my example of the Eyetoy was intended to demonstrate ASS MS, which it unquestionably achieved.

They Eyetoy was a rip off the Dream Eye which released for the Dreamcast.

I suspect that your examples of Sony "mocking" motion controls, hard drives, and online play are largely the product of your imagination.

You suspect, in others word you could disprove what I was saying so you that is all you could come up with. At least you didn't flat out lie like you did about the Dual Shock, GTA's paid exclusivity, etc.

In conclusion, don't bother arguing with me because you aren't good enough at it. I feel dirty for even responding in this case. And apologies to the OP for stinking up your thread.

Actually you should refrain from debating with me. If you are going to make an argument with easily disproved lies you shouldn't waste my time.

[Incidentally, the only Playstation I own is a PSX that only works if you turn it upside down.]

Report it to a mod and have them change it if my comment offends you.

And BTW -  what R* said ... and I quote: "But I guess if you want the complete experience with the episodes, then yeah, you should buy the 360, I suppose."

What you said: There is no 'inferior' version of the game.

Spoken like a person in passionate love with a PS3. Why you *have* a 360 still baffles me. You have completely praised the PS3 for everything - and *try* to call me out for my opinion. R* said it - and I'll believe the dev any day over a console maker's word.

Which version are you picking it up for? My gut tells me PS3, but ... hence the rub ... you don't OWN a PS3, so that'll be an order of GTA IV on my crappy 360, please.

Thanks for your unbelieveable opinion and humor. You totally crack me up.

What's next? You don't want me to say anything 'questionable' about your digital savior, the PS3? For a person who craves a PS3 so much and not to have one is a crime. No ... saying a mandatory install on a system with no hope of getting extra episodes is a crime.

Mad Skillz out. 

Lawl.

Digital Savior?

You said inferior version speaking about graphics, frame-rate, etc. That's why you said you hadn't seen a preview of it, and since you can't see a preview of DLC, you meant gameplay, and it plays exactly the same. Don't try to change what you said before, and talk about that same tired line that the PR person had to say.

And like I said, yes I will be buying it on my XBOX 360. And like I said before, I have a 360 cause it has the games I like. And again, I am no Sony worshipper, I know that they've screwed up so much over these past couple of years, that there's no realistic way that they'll undo the damage, at least not in this console war. But what do you care? You think that I am just a Sony Fanboy defending his console of choice to the death... Which I'm not.

O'RLY? If it walks like a duck ...

I am not the only one who thinks otherwise. I have yet to find someone sitting on the digital fence, praising the PS3 with every breath. Even elnino334 thought you were. Man, that's bad. You have talked up the PS3 and we find out you don't even have one. Not calling you out on that, but tell me - where are you getting your first-hand info on the PS3? Are you frequenting a friend's house and logging play time or just having a gut feeling about it.

Snipe the 360 all you want, but based on your responses and the like, you are pro-Sony stuck with a 360. 

I'm defending the notion that one version of the game will be inferior to the other version, graphically, which is what you were talking about earlier, until you tried to pull that old EEC comment, and change what you meant.

But I digress.

You, my friend, are just someone hating on PS3 to the death, and it's okay. Cause one day, it'll make a believer out of you.

Ha ha ... Yeah, I hate on the PS3 so much ... so much, that I think the new PSN store functions way better than the old POC ... that I do use it to play a Blu Ray every now and then - and that I still have it, so I hate it. Interesting. If I did hate it, it would be out of the door. I blast folks for making completely ignorant and biased claims about the PS3. Oh, I won't deny facts - but opinions touted as facts? I'm on it. As long as someone is making a valid claim, sweet - but when someone wants to bury the truth and exaggerate, doggone right I'll call them out.
