Forums - Sony - My Best Friend Who Is A Loyal Xbox 360 Owner Left Me Stunned Last Night!!!

.jayderyu on 26 October 2009

Elite HD gamer. Loyal to the Core. *snicker*. Love that brand loyalty displayed there.

Anyways gratz you can now play in two different locations instead of in the same room :P



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I just have one question. If the PS3 "Only does everything" and if you stacked up all the features side by side of the two consoles (including add-ons, XBL/PSN, etc), would it not be accurate that the 360 "Does MORE of everything"?

I just keep imagining this slogan for the next batch of 360 commercials. It'd be both true and hilarious!

I don't really follow... especially now that PS3 has Netflix.

A watered down, disc based Netlfix, Huzzah!

And that was not exactly the only unique feature....

If you stack up all the features of XBL, PSN, Xbox 360, PS3, plus add-ons available to each, the 360 "Does MORE of everything"

  Plus it "Does MORE gaming" and "Does MORE entertainment" and "Has MORE fun time"

I didn't really follow the Netflix news (since I wasn't interested in it the first place), I thought you just had to put in the disc, and then you can stream. It's as much as a hastle as putting in a Bluray disc to watch a movie like most people do with PS3s anyway.

Even if we do consider the disc based thing a negative, it seems like a very very tiny weight on the scale.

Can you please be specific with the features and add ons of the two consoles? You take it for granted that everyone knows and understands what you're talking about.

I don't see how it does more gaming (sheer volume of titles are kinda weak, when we're this far in the gen with old games filling up that space), more entertainment seems on par now with Netflix multi, and more fun time seems very subjective.

 

Can you at least not seem blatantly fanboyish? When I want to be a fanboy, I at least acknowledge and half joke about it, or stealth it in. No one's going to come to your support with that kind of post attitude.

I am not trying to be a fanboy, just comically objecting to the PS3's very misleading and silly new slogan.

I guess if you really feel I need to expand, I shall.

I do agree that the fun time one was subjective.  I also would like to note that I do not include web-based applications with the PS3 because they are not built in features.  The Web Browser is the feature, not the uses of it.  The experiences with the PS3 web browser are also very limited seeing as how it is such a proprietary browser and does not support all the latest online media formats.  With Xbox 360 these are integrated into the online experience itself with unique and smooth flowing interfaces.  If I have missed anything or you wish to argue the point, feel free and I'll ammend the lists.  I would also like to note I am saying irregardless of price factors.

Just because its integrated you think Facebook and Twitter shouldn't count on the Playstation side? Or that you can listen to Last.FM using the browser. In fact, the browser offers huge amounts of freedom.  And really all the "X game store" on both sides should really only count as a single game store as both have similar offerings from what I've seen. You've also left out PSP support on the Playstation side. Plus ethernet is not an add-on (unless you mean the cable). And Kboard and Mouse. And the easy transfer of files from PC to console (on both sides). Are you sure you don't work for Ms as this is normally what companies do to spin there list of features for a device. Take very similar feature and repeat them to artificially inflate numbers.

Thank you for offering some options I missed.  I'm no expert on either.  Your attitude could have been a bit improved though. 

And I thought I explained very clearly how Facebook, Twitter, Last.FM, etc cannot count as PS3 features?

Funny stuff. On the PS3 side how about more and higher rated exclusives, Life with Playstation, photo gallery, remote play, blu ray disc live, listen to any radio station on the net not just one, youtube. I could go on all day. Feature wise the PS3 is the complete package and the xbox has some major flaws.

And Xbox has more exclusives and more total games, photo gallery, Windows Media Center, etc.  I could go on all day about the more features 360 has over PS3.  And again, anything using the web browser is not a feature.  The Web Browser itself is a feature, not where you go on it.

I don't have a gold account but i still have a gamertag that's pretty much the first thing you should do when you turn on your 360 for the fist time. Also you get one free month of Gold when you buy a 360. Nice fictitious story anyway.

I got a phonecall last night from my best friend saying "Come outside I've got to show you something" He took me around to the boot of his car opened it up & I couldn't believe my eyes, he had bought a Ps3!!! The Uncharted 2 Bundle, thats not the best bit he didn't buy the Ps3 just to sit beside The Xbox he had threw the Xbox out & got the Ps3 as his main Gaming/Entertainment System. I was left stunned this man wouldn't have said a bad word about the Xbox but it then broke down on him for the 3rd time, that was the last straw. He knew I had the Ps3 for almost 3yrs & it never gave me any problems. He comes up about once a week & we play the Ps3 during that time, this week he got beat 7-1 at Fifa 10.. But he was very impressed with Uncharted 2 & EyePet.

 

I see this as a little victory for me, He saw sense & bought a Ps3.

It Only Does Everything...Including Turning Xbox Fanboys Into Ps3 Fanboys..

That bolded really has the J man worried of your state of mind......ps3 does not equal sense.

How the hell is buying the ps3 over a 360 or any system seen as sense?.....you fanboys are really making less and less sense (ironic) everytime you post.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

He might of had an account at the start, but he definatley cancelled it due to the fact that he has no internet connection in his house, he only has internet connection in a building of offices which is a building outside his house. I remember him telling me that he didn't like the fact he had to take his Xbox & A TV all the way out to the offices if he wanted to access Xbox live. He never was a fan of online gaming anyway.

I'm done trying to explaining myself to you people. Your making too big of a fucking deal over losing an Xbox owner. It's actually scary how some of you are reacting.

I hear Drake calling on me, Uncharted 2 baby..
