1) I made a list of notable 360 exclusives (not just console exclusives) earlier today, and there's actually more than on the PS3. Plus, no Rare Xbox/X360 game has been ported to the PC thus far, so there's no reason to believe that BK3 will.

2) He's looking for a game console, not a movie player, from the sound of it.

3) You can play all but a handful of those games on a $130 PS2. And the 80gb isn't entirely backwards compatible; many key games will not play, or play properly on it. Finally, my 360 is pretty quiet; when have you heard a 360 that sounds "like a jet engine"?

1) Can you show me this list please?

2) Agreed

3) Hes probably talking about launch consoles, and ignoring the fact that the latest ones are quiter, and by all accounts very reliable (thus far) 

 


1. The list is in the Halo 3 vs FFXIII thread. 

2. He said he wanted something that better utilized his HDTV, and made reference to his DVD player. He wants both. 

3. Yea, my launch 360 is loud as hell. Also, the 80 gig is very backwards compatible. Sony has a page somewhere that will tell you if a game you're interested will pay on it or not.

Oh, and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts will be the only platformer out this generation to rival SMG's brilliance.

 Ummm no. That would be LittleBigPlanet. Is Banjo even a platformer anymore? Its 80% racing.

loool,,,that will happen in a place called starcraft's imagination land,,,if you don't live there ,then don't trust that statement

 

The series is commonly held to be the second best platformer ever after Mario. All of a sudden when Rare decides to innovate, its looking mediocre? Even though all everybody has been going on about this generation is how great innovation is? Even though most people that went hands on with the game said it looked awesome?

 

racing is not platforming,,,get that right

If you want a ps3, best buy and walmart are running specials where they give you a $100 gift card when you buy a ps3. For walmart it is not a mail in, they load up the gift card the moment you pay. best buy is probably the same, but I can't confirm it.



God hates console fanboys.

You're making assumptions that Spartan is telling him to buy a PS3 for the future games, you're also assuming that the games currently out forthe PS3 don't justify its purchase. Which is a round about way of getting in the old "PS3 has no games" jab, which is simply not true. I own a PS3 for the games that are on it right now, and am perfectly happy with my purchase. Don't assume that because you can't find a good reason amongst the current games to by a PS3 that noone can.

Also a little above you said that you hear about more PS3's failing than 360's failing, and you know that's because there are more PS3 owners on this forum then there are 360 owners, which you failed to mention.

It wasn't much of an assumption.  Spartan attacked the notion of buying a 360 because Banjo "might" be good and then failed to list a single PS3 game in the post.  I don't think anybody reasonably argues that the PS3's library matches the 360's one at this point.  And given the extra expense of the system, thats something to take into account. 

I actually hadn't thought of the possibility that there are more PS3 owners on these forums (though looking at this thread, dolla's thread and soriku's latest thread, there are a lot of non-vocal 360 owners).  But that doesn't change the fact that even when I bring it up PS3 owners cant point to a recently manufactured 360 thats broken down.  Early 360's saw a high failure rate early on.

well cus of the PS2 games the Ps3 wins...

also Eternal Sonata is coming to PS3..maybe not in NA though..

 The thing is, I could get a 360 and ps2 and it would $20 less than the MGS4 bundle... but I don't want MGS4 as I havn't played any of the others and have never really played stealth games... so I guess the question is,

does the benfit of blu ray and remote play and PS3 games outweigh the benifit of Xbox 360 games and Xbox 360's multiplayer capabilites (as it has better though expensive online and most of my friends have a 360)

Ummm no. That would be LittleBigPlanet. Is Banjo even a platformer anymore? Its 80% racing.

Where does it say anything about the game being 80% racing.

The game is about using platforming devices to construct vehicles and other tools you'll need to complete platforming tasks.  The only negative reactions have been from people that wanted another 'traditional' platformer, even though those same people were overjoyed when Nintendo revealed the non-traditional SMG.

The game is a platformer through-and-through, but its certainly innovative.

@Hawkeye

but wouldn't the 360 online thing (which is not free) negate those $20 that get left through buying a 360 & a PS2??

Also if you have HD TV...Its worth it to have a blu-ray player

@starcraft

but surely PS2 + PS3's library put together is greater than the "oh so holy xboxb 360's" library??

Lol.  So established franchise with its original team vs new IP without notable team?
