Forums - Microsoft Discussion - I am selling my PS3, and getting a 360

Another dodgy sounding deal, but if you really want to follow a crowd, go for it.

BTW if you buy a Ferrari and your friends buy Porches, you gonna do the same?



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

anyone think that maybe he just really wants a 360??.
I mean it has "LOTS" of great games on it, anyone think that maybe unlike alot of people here he has seen that the is more to the 360 then "Gears Of War" -_- .

Yes, and why exactly are these people so desparte to trade their systems at a HUGE loss?

This is the same reason I own a 360 instead of a PS3 (well, I don't have room in the entertainment center for both... too much other equipment in there). All my friends have 360s and throw Xbox parties, so it's nice to run with the herd in this particular case.

Sounds like a great deal.

i'm sorry but that's just wrong. it's not a party if it involves sitting down and playing video games. that's just having friends over to play xbox.

 well except when you have 60 friends in a house getting tanked and partying..... and taking turns on the 4 XBox with 16 pads....  I call that partying.... its up to you to play it like a geek or make it a real party... both can be fun both can be done...

has nothing to do with being a geek or not, i never mentioned anything about geeks. if you're actually partying, then yeah, it's a party.  but i got the impression he just meant going over to his friends house with his controller and having some snacks and beers, that's not a party.

why people think being a geek is bad lol.... I do XBox parties the geek way too it has its good side too :)
but I have to admit to have drunk chicks picking up on halo at 8 against guys and pawning them because they are even more wasted or not regular gamers.. is pretty fun lol

Simple!!!

Some people just don't see the great value in the 360, and somehow seem to think they are going to get more value from the PS3 and get better Graphics etc.

also some people might be banned from xbox live so they don't want their 360 anymore etc.

But just because them people don't see the great value, and the great games on the 360 doesn't mean someone else wont.

I have also seen alot of people swap in their PS3's for 360's now tell me why do you think that is??.


 defensive much?

 

Personally the fact that he was able to find these two deals where people are trading at a loss to get the sub par PS3 (40gb ftl) is telling in a way.

 

The first one I'll chalk up to the box being modded and starting to wig out on him, knowing he couldnt send it in for repairs he tries to unload it. The second one might be a banned account, which I thought was by internal numbers on the machine, so you cant open a new account and get back on... but its still a loss for the guy with a 360 (money wise)

 

Typical 360 collection I must say though. Maybe he got tired of FPS? :) 



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
