Forums - Microsoft - disadvantages of the 360

"what install? killzone 2 didn't have install and game installs also cut load times to nothing."

lost planet, devil may cry 4, tna impact and resident evil 5 have 5gb installs. the load times for all games are the same. for resident evil 5 i prefer longer load times to read the timeline. tna impact has crappier graphics and framerate probelms on PS3. 360 wins!

Why PS3 fanboys keep posting 360 bashing threads in 360 section?



i think every ps3 owner only who posted in this thread should be banned for trolling

You're not kidding. My first launch xbox died of RROD. I got two fan hardwares for new one. Working good so far.

Wireless -> Not a disadvantage really, if it was Microsoft would have done something about it now wouldn't they?

HDD -> User replaceable but + cost over doing your own is an excellent tradeoff.

Cost for online? -> Advantage, one of the reasons why Microsoft can outsell the PS3 at present by pricing the console lower IMO.

No blu tooth? Not significant market.

No Blu Ray? No point in copying Sony here, if people want it they buy a standalone or a PS3, Not really a disadvantage.

Reliability? Perhaps not so much, but its the perception of reliability which effects the market -> See GM for referrence.

Brand Name? Disadvantage, probably can fold reliability perception into this. Its not called Playstation X or whatever is probably its biggest disadvantage.

There -> Brand name is the biggest disadvantage.



Tease.

hard drive not being standard equipment
restricted to DVD capacity (no blu ray)
pay for online
unreliable
confusing points for online purchases
wired headset for online voice chat (vs bluetooth for ps3)
no built in wifi
huge power brick

360 has a wireless headset.

 

 

oh didnt know that.  or are you counting the one that uses a wire from headset to controller as wireless?

 

What part of wireless don't you understand?
