Forums - Microsoft - disadvantages of the 360

infamous8 on 22 April 2009

On Ps3 you can use ANY bluetooth headset. So I can use the one I already have for my phone, on Ps3.

On Xbox, you have to use the damn microsoft headset which costs a lot more money.

That is not the point, the point is you have a wireless option, I am not buying no cheap $30 dollar headset that will probably drop connection on me, I would hate for my team to lose a match because my headset lost connection, if I had a ps3.

..........and if you think the official wireless xbox headset is expensive check out these links:

Wow, the difference between the official ps3 headset and the 360 one is 10 dollars, this is just bad Microsoft products are soooo much more expensive than Sony products.

SARCASM!

the difference is that that's your only choice for wireless on the xbox. There is a very wide selection for wireless headsets on PS3.

" I am not buying no cheap $30 dollar headset that will probably drop connection on me, I would hate for my team to lose a match because my headset lost connection, if I had a ps3."

nice double negative / paranoid delusional rant. If it doesnt say XBOX on it , it will obviously not work right. And your team will definately lose if they cant hear your voice!!

1. Expensive online - annual subscriptions of $50 per year. It is free on PS3, Wii and PC.
2. High failure rates in XBox 360 consoles. I do not know the exact figures so I will not put a number down.
3. XBox 360 games are mostly already available on PC and PS3.
4. XBox 360 does not have a HD player still only DVd-9s with limited storage capacity only 6.8GB per game disc of available storage capcity. PS3 Blu-Ray disc holds up to 50GB per Blu-Ray game disc.

-Poor DVD play back quality You've got to be kidding? It scales dvds up to 1080p through VGA and HDMI. Its still not Blu ray
-Poor customer service WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah 3 year warranty is poor costumer service, and if your X360 breaks and you get another one in a week is also poor customer service..
-Region locked Yeah.. So? It plays dvd movies from all regions btw. Too bad it doesnt play GAMES  from all regions
-Hard drives are very expensive (can't use PCs or laptops HDD)
-Some games uses multiple discs Better than installs.... I will rather wait for 5 minutes and play the game than switching the disk every time i wanna play the play the game again
-Scratches disks Only if you move the console nowadays.. That's still disadvantige

Anything esle I'm missing

Some of the things in your list are not true anymore..

The battery thing is retarded.  You can get some cheap energizer rechargeables and be done with it.  What happens when your PS3 controller battery dies?
