ANNNND heres where you favoritism comes into play, first off the ps3 controller is by far the best, better then the clunky picasso like xbox controller, the d-pad is 100% better then the xbox's as it is recessed and allows for accurate movement, playing street fighter 4 on an x-box is the equivalent to smashing my brains out with a hamme
the online service is great for the ps3,, and heres another one, its free,
i have a friend that fixes red rings and ill tell you this, when x-box fixes a system it doesent send out a new one, they just repair the old ones they have a kabillion of because so many go sent back, so they keep cycling faulty box's.
i dont know a single person personally thats ever had a ps3 die on them, yet everyone i know that owns an x-box has gone through at least 2 box's, so explain to me how its bullshit especially when ive witnessed this crap personally.
oh and as for the games the reign of x-box's exclusive titles is over, now everything gets released on both systems and the exclusives that do come out for the systems are generally flagship titles, honestly you guys can keep halo, that game makes me ill. id much rather play mgs 4 or little big planet, or killzone.
but in short, x-box lost the media format war, blu ray discs are a much better medium and instead of getting a 4 disc game we get one, ill deal with slight load times seeing as the games are installed on the system nullifying most load times, oh wait didnt the x-box add that? yeah cause it was a good idea, do x-box's even have a functioning internet browser? or built in wifi?
as for the systems being hot, well it doesent matter because they were designed to play hot, you wont leave star ocean 4 on for a few hours and come back to your living room on fire due to your xbox, (google that, it really happened) if microsoft werent such cheap bastards they could have avoided the whole issue in the first place, their marketing stand point was cut costs, ship product and hope the early lead sustains us.
oh and as of august 2009 ign reports a 54.2 breakdown rate among its readers which is only a limited number, also the number has steadily increased if you do your research, heres a link to chew on.
