I agree with the winner of this round, Xbox Live is better integrated and is the better experience. However i have to disagree with one thing, Achievements being better than trophies is not true imo, trophies give you more detail and the level up system is great, with achievement you receive points and thats fine, but all you can ever do is say yeah i have more points than you, theres no reason to platinum a game on the 360.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/105/1052005p1.html =P

To be honest the reason the trophy whores' scores are unreachable is that xbox has had achievements for 3 more years than the ps3.. And that It just seems like they are more unreachable because you can get up to 1000 points per game. His arguement is DESTROYED.

umm you can get plenty of trophies for games, but there is no reason to get all 1000 points...in trophies, you always wanna go for the plat

You can get plenty achievements for games, but there is no reason  get a platinum.. In achievements you always wanna go for the highest earning ones and the completion emblem.

 

You still don't argue what I wrote before either.

I must add XBL has our own thing like Plat. Its called "Games completed" and all of our games have them. 

yeah, but games completed isnt really gonna make you actually finish it lol...you want a plat =D

yeah there is a reason to get a plat...it boosts your level by alot....its fun leveling up and catching up to friends through plats...not just getting some of the highest points in a game and then being done with it...with a plat you have to 100% complete the game in most cases

 

i didnt realize it was my responsibility to argue your posts...but what am i supposed to be arguing, i dont see it

The reason achievements are better than trophies are simply that every game has them.

trust me 90% of ps3 games have trophies now, that is a small problem, unless you wanna play games from 07 *theres like maybe 4 tops* that point is invalid =l

lol i love it people talking bout ps3 having a web browser!!! if i wanted to go on the internet i would turn on my pc and go on that not my console of choice, a console is for playing games not for going on facebook and crap

But you actually own the only console with a facebook app. Isin't his statement ironic?

Hmmm, he's probably like me and never uses it. It's not hard to understand.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Not really into twitter myself but i guess the 360 is the only console with a twitter app.

Theres no reason to platinum a game on 360?

Whats 1000/1000 or 1250/1250 then?

Thats the same as a platinum......... ie, you raped the game.



Ronster316 on 12 January 2010

Lets put it this way................. i have either 200/200, 1250/250 or 1000/1000'd 50 games.

That for me is 50 platinums.

Sites like true achievements also add to the fun of getting as high a gamerscore and as many 1000/1000 as possible due to tie ratios, overall completion and overall true achievement score.
