SupraStar 3000 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Miss Farter Christmas might be buying me a games console but I know very little about them. Mostly I want to go online and play war games such as COD with as the best eye candy available. Whats best, 360 or PS3? thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I got ps3 and just play one game warhawk. I would buy xbox but i wont have time to play it as im too addicted on online gaming for ps3:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 360 would be better for online play as its a better community etc, but it costs. PS3 will have loads of online people too and its free, but the comminty feel to it all isnt really there in the same way. Personally, I'd still get a PS3, but thats my personal reasons - if I was given an X-Box I wouldn't complain (until I saw the 3 rings of death lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Get the PS3. If you don't like it you can sell it and get a new 360 with the funds. Won't make much of a difference to you to be honest. The differences are minimal and petty, at the moment. Not sure how much better MW2 holds up on the PS3. I have a feeling it might be using a bit more of the processing power than its predecessors due to them knowing how to write code for it now. If thats the case it will have the edge on the visuals.

SupraStar 3000 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Cheers for the info peeps. Are the graphics basically the same for the PS3 ad 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Cheers for the info peeps. Are the graphics basically the same for the PS3 ad 360? Yes and no. Older games actually tend to be a tad smoother on the 360. Newer ones will get better looking on the PS3. The technology has always been better on the PS3 but it's never had the games properly developed in order to use it. Starting to get there now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 PS3 for me. Had a 360 elite on for a total of 3 hours and got rrod. Had PS3 since launch and not had 1 problem other than the odd freeze. Never got chance to try xbox live so I cant compare the PSN with it. For me though I've not experienced a probem with the PS network. Always connects alright and have decent connections on COD with 5 green bars. The updates download pretty quick and very rarely the connection drops unless if there is a problem with my router or if the mrs is downloading on her laptop. I couldnt imagine a better service for free. If you like your war games or first person shooters, it maybe worth checking these out, All quality games, and cheap now too: Killzone 2 £11.96 Delivered Resistance 2 £12.97 delivered (the 1st is about a fiver now too) COD MW, COD World at War are both excellent, and the new MW 2 released tomorrow. You may like Uncharted 2 but this is a third person shooter rather than first but the online play is great with various game types and co-op missions. Then thers MGS4, I'll stop now Have a look through here: http://uk.ign.com/IGN to help find some other titles, and Here - this list hasnt been updated since July/August though.

martini Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I own both but I am getting CoD on the Xbox because I prefer the controller for it and the online service is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The best one out of XBOX360 and PS3 for war games is a PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The console's are pretty much the same, it's the control method that's important. In light of that, I couldn't imagine wanting to play any game via Microsoft's novelty dreamcast control pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The console's are pretty much the same, it's the control method that's important. Agreed. This is exactly why I hate driving and shooting games on the PS3 - the triggers are awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Agreed. This is exactly why I hate driving and shooting games on the PS3 - the triggers are awful. I found the xbox analogue sticks to be really annoying and not as responsive/proportional as the PS3's. As you say though the triggers are crap but I fixed that with the 3 quid trigger extensions from game, now they're pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Got them free in a mag a year or 2 ago. Help no end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 thanks guys. Think I'll go with the PS3 as I'm familiar with the handset from using my PS2. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
