*wink* followed by cool exit.

perhaps if you wanted to have better thread (not just a flame war) you could present positive and negatives from both sides. Not just the positives from one side and declare it the winner...

just a thought, I know it sounds unreasonable... but it might actually work better ;)

 actually there a reasons to buy xbox 360 too...but im a sony fan so....

you make some good points, aside from blue-ray.

devs really don't need that much space unless their cramming in hours of cutscenes, and thats just wasting space imo.

It's not even his thread.. It's a posted blog entry..

But I agree about blu-ray. Next gen, maybe. Definetly not in the now though. And the way that the economy is right now.. Not now at all.

This thread is flamebait for sure, even though the tone wasn't particularly fanboyish.

In any case, I don't have either, but I plan on getting a PS3 solely because of FF versus XIII.

there are honestly way more reasons to buy a PS3, but Microsoft still has the most important. Cheapest out of the box. People don't realize that the low priced $200 arcade ends up costing around $350 if you throw on a 60 gig hard drive and a year of live. And its $400 (just like the PS3) after 2 years of live and more expensive then the PS3 if you get 3 or more years of live which you likely will if you don't get Red Ring.

The 360 is only the cheapest console if you don't play online and don't buy the overpriced hard drive.

very nice facts.

I'm sorry, but no matter how many times people say it, it still isn't true.  Insomniac isn't first party. =)

That said, I don't think blu ray is that big of a deal unless you want to watch movies on it. The whole concept of switching discs doesn't bother me; it won't kill me to do that.

The statistics they list for Xbox 360 failure are probably outdated now. I haven't heard of the failure rate being anywhere near that bad anymore, though the E74 (right?) error seems to be affecting more consoles.

The third reason, compatibility.... Well, all that stuff is nice, but it's lacking the biggest one; PS2 BC. I'm one of the lucky ones who got a 60GB PS3, so I don't have to worry about that, but lots of people want this. The only reason I can think of as to why Sony would take it out is because you can still buy a PS2.

The online and games are the big ones for me. Free online is great because I do not want to pay so that I can play a game that I already bought. The exclusives are also great; I've tried most Sony exclusives and love almost all of them.

thats good i got a ps3 then :p.. jk, but anyway reason #4 is really bad because im on my 3rd ps3
