And do you remember what I was banned for?

For stating I prefer the PSN over XBL (due to being free for multi-player, dedicated servers allowing for more simultaneous players and better performance amongst similar games, free Playstation Home, not liking the XBL avatars, additional free features like VidZone, etc).

This is mere opinion and I stated this merely because many extreme XBox 360 fans want to push their opinion of the XBL being superior as a undisputable fact.

I got a temporary ban from AmigaWorld for pointing out a new moderator there (a MorphOS fan) was stalking me at this website.

Moobunny is a trollsnest, it's an unmoderated forum heavily used by MorphOS/AROS fans. AFAIK nobody was ever banned from there.

MikeB said: @ vaio I agree with you, everytime i have had a discussion with him he has been caught lying and even when he posts links to prove his point more then half of them actually prove he is lying but he twists the way it is said to suit his agenda. Your wording implies to me you're an extremist. Can you provide a long list of lies? I don't think so. At best a few opinions you don't agree with or a few minor errors. Evertime I see someone go the "liar" route for differences of opinion, I think the person is either still immature or has psychological problems. The funny or scary thing is even, that we're talking about games consoles and about nothing more serious than just that...

In an attempt to discredit Forza 3 you try to make it seem like forza 3 would be the first racing game with 2 discs when I showed you were wrong you failed to respond or as I think you ignored to respond or to correct your statement.

In that thread you posted a link to prove your point, the link was in dutch so you figured i wouldn´t uderstand but as it goes I did and the link YOU provided proved you wrong and lying again. In the following post I caught you lying or in this case try to twist the truth your way again.

The post after that you tried to pass a letter of complaint as evidence which it clearly wasnt: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=2048198

In this post a little furher down in the same thread you use the same letter to say that it applies to xbox 360 too but in this case the the warranty we discussed was only valid for only 2 years for the xbox (and 3 for the ps3 according to you) because of the inferior parts the 360 uses and the bad design it has. Another lie and big missinformation.

I asked you to prove you poits but you failed to do so and I asked you how its possible to have a 3 year warranty an one product but fail to have same warranty for another similar product . The only eidence you showed was that the 360 was made of inferior parts and bad design therfor they only have 2 year warranty.
 
In the same thread as above you lied about a 3 year warranty in the EU when there is no such thing it´s a 2 year warranty and you tried to make it look like it was 3 years for Sony and only 2 years for MS wich again is blatatly lying, even though we provided links and proof you kept on ingnoring it and spewing propaganda.
 
Ther is a small list of the last 2 threads we have been involved in, I can go through the rest if you like but for me this is proof enough I don´t need to go through all of your dirty laundry to prove you are lying in every turn you get. It wouldnt surprise me if you are lying about everything you ever said in here form what line of work you have to your software you are supposed to be trying to sell.

How is that for a list for ya?

That sounds like an indirect dig at the 360 again.

Maybe that's why you got banned and not because you have a preference

On the subject of games that have actually been released that rival the 360 seriously in most 360 fans opinions is MGS4, Unchartered and Killzone 2. Thats just 3 games that stand out and each one had plenty of time and money thrown at them that no third party will do. Your argument may have more merit if the 360 is unable to reproduce Final Fantasy XIII at equivalent levels, the only exception I reckon is video will not be encoded to 1080p which for the vast majority of users is not an issue anyway. Finally those 3 titles I mentioned above are not "well beyond" titles availble on the 360 either. Finally I'm pretty sure PAL DVD's are encoded to 576p aren't they, so for a lot of users they don't watch 480p at all, or did you skip that fact because as usual it made your argument less relevant. When you compare 576p to 720p the difference isn't so great, at least thats what the PS3 fans have told us regarding Ghostbusters resolution drop (funny how its not only 360 owners being inconsistant now is it). Lastly how does such a blatantly troll thread remain open on this site from what is a reknowned Sony fan with a vested interest in misinformation, no offence MikeB it's just my opinion on your conduct. Ratchet and Clank Future:  Tools of Destruction, Little Big Planet, Folklore, and Heavenly Sword also all blow away any similar games on the 360 and The Last Guardian will as well.     In your opinion of course, the only one on that list I'd maybe agree on is Heavenly Sword maybe although I've not played Ninja Gaiden 2 for comparison.  Of course I still think the term "blow away" is hopelessly exagerrated.          Name two 3d platformers on 360 that are at Little Big Planet and Ratchet and Clank Future level.  Name one action adventure rpg on the 360 that is at Folklore's level (it received a 9 from PlayMagazine USA and a 9 from IGN), and no game on 360 comes anywhere near being the artistic triumph that The Last Guardian will be.  The most that one can say about the artistic merits of Gears and Alan Wake is that at best they have about as much artistic vision as the  typical Saturday night movie on the American Sci-Fi Channel. Those are stupid questions to ask, seeing as how the 360 does not possess equivalents to the games you mentioned in it's library as far as exclusives go. However, if we can speak about multiplatform games, I'd say both LBP and Ratchet and Clank got raped artistically by Prince of Persia, but that's just one man's opinion. Just to clarify, if I were to ask you to find me a real time strategy game on the PS3 that looks as good as Halo Wars, you would be stumped, because there is no such game in existence on the PS3. I mean if you're going to ask the question of finding a suitable alternative graphically, at least use a genre both share heavily in, and not niche sub genres and older genres that don't get many games created for them.       The fact that there aren't similar games on 360, then further strengthens my statement that those PS3 games blow away similar games on the 360.  I stand by my original statement.

I wanted to keep reading the thread before posting..But this has too much Win to ignore....

"the fact that there aren't similar games on the 360, then further strengthens my statment that those Ps3 games blow away similar games on the 360"

NICE ONE!

Wasn't it because you posted one of your ridiculous "SPE usage" topics?

@ vaio

Let's make this simple.

I asked if this was a first, so where's the lie?

You said it's the first multi DVD racing game, I already knew there have been past racing games on multiple disc. Like for instance Super Cars 2 supplied on 2 3.5 inch diskettes on the Amiga.

880KB diskettes were pretty limiting for Amiga gaming.



According to Dutch law if the product is defect within a normal life expectance (at least 3 years for the PS3), you can hold the seller (retailer) responsible. You don't agree, then don't. But I know someone who successfully made use of this option recently through Media Markt. I really don't understand why this upsets you. Why is it bad to help someone?

Besides price and dedicated servers, XBL is superior and that is a fact.  It has more, better features and is getting even more added this fall while the PSN has no real additions expected.

All MS has to do is start offering dedicated servers for more games (since they do offer them on some) and XBL would be undisputably better than the PSN and well worth the mere $3 a month I pay for it.  That's like one less cheap cup of coffee a month.  I think I'll live.

No. Actually that thread received much praise and was linked to by dozens of websites.

I think in hindsight it helped a lot of people to understand that games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 would be possible on the PS3 hardware some day, nomatter the not so impressive launch titles which have been proven being underused or not use the Cell's SPEs at all in many cases at the time.

@ nightsurge

That's the problem with extremists like you, it's a fact, no room for discussion, the end.

It's not that simple at all, for example I don't have much (if any) use for cross game chatrooms while playing PS3 games. Why would this be better than the laptop I'm already using in my living room? Most often I don't like to be disturbed at all and have actually disabled instant message notifications on my PS3.

Another example would be LittleBigPlanet, there's no similar game on the 360 providing such a wealth of amazing user created content. That just the tip of the iceberg why one can prefer the PSN offerings.
