Menace Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello guys, I've launched a website that deals with XBOX 360's. <snip> At the minute you are only able to order the service to flash your drive, this works by you sending the console to us, and us sending it back to you modified. I will soon be adding consoles that have been pre-flashed with the latest firmware and will still have the warranty intact. I feel that people having a backup unit to play their back up games should be available to everyone. NOTE TO MODS: Modding your 360 is not illegal, as long as you only play YOUR backup games on it. Also, I do not promote piracy. Any questions feel free to PM me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Waste of time, nothing decent to play on the PS3 What is with all this PS3 bashing? The xBox has been out alot longer its bound to have more games, the PS3 is clearly technically the best console and youo dont have to buy a new one every 13 months.

Andy Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm sorry, Modding may not be illegal in itself, but it is still an indirect advocation of piracy in the same way that torrent sites are, and they are not allowed to be posted here either. As such, I've removed the link. We also have an advertising rule which states that you should ask permission before plugging profitable websites. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,19165.0.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The majority of multi-platform games are developed with the 360 as the lead console, so in a lot of cases the 360 version is actually better. On paper the PS3 has the better specs obviously. Personally, it's all about the games for me. I'm happy with what I can get for my 360, but if I had the money I'd like to have access to some of the PS3's exclusives too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own both btw, before any fanboi shit starts up. The tech specs of both consoles. It's rather obvious though, seeing how the 360 came out almost two years before the PS3 I'd say it'd be rather odd if the PS3 did not have better specs. Like how a computer gets dated after almost just half a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with what I can get for my 360, but if I had the money I'd like to have access to some of the PS3's exclusives too. I'm not even sure that's means anything in reality. If you read the Eurogamer face-off for SFIV for example you'll see that the PS3's graphics capability has a serious bottleneck that means even a game developed and built around the same GPU architecture has to be streamlined to work - and then it doesn't work as well as the 360 version. I've seen nothing on PS3 so far that couldn't be matched on 360 tbh. As I see it: Price - 360 v PS3 Reliability - 360 v PS3 Running costs - 360 v PS3 Online infrastructure - 360 v PS3 Dashboard ergonomics - 360 v PS3 Multi-platform - 360 v PS3 Controller - 360 v PS3 Multimedia capability - 360 v PS3 Fairly straightforward IMO. Both have their benefits, but the 360 has more in key areas for GAMING. Also, more people seem to be online on 360, whereas there's nobody playing on PS3 half the time. Exclusives are obviously a matter of opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Oh, and that list doesn't include the little elements that are just daft on PS3, like the fact you have to download the FULL FUCKING DASH every single time there's an update, with the 360 taking seconds (I assume it just patches instead). I don't care if most people have fast internet these days, that kind of thing is just a downright stupid design flaw. Then there's the fact that it took literally months - didn't it end up nearly a year? - for the DS3 to come out over here. It's like everything on PS3 is an afterthought.

relámpago blanco Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 PS3 is technically better but its more difficult to develop due to its architecture, thats what I was getting at. xBox has had much more time out there in the marketplace to evolve and obviously game developers have worked with it for longer. I'm not saying xBox's aren't a better console I just think the abuse some people on here give to PS3 owners is ludicrous. The cell processor the PS3 has (which was actually designed for the PS3) is original and many people think will become the future of processing. The xBOx has a more conventional design and is therefore easy for programmers to work with as they understand it, when developers fully understand the Cell it will be incredible for gaming as well as many other applications. Most games programmers suspect that in a year or so when they fully understand the SPU in the PS3 they wll be bringing out some awesome titles that the 3 multipurpose CPU's of the 360 wont be able to cope with even remotely close. Microsoft went for a conventional almost PC like architecture whereas sony tried to do something revolutionary, maybe they were wrong but that'll be the future design of consoles and most people I speak to agree with me. BAsically what I am saying is the programmers dont really know how to make the most of the PS3 as its cutting edge, the xBox is conventional and will probably die out long before the PS3 once they get used to working with it.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Running costs - 360 v PS3 How do you define Running Costs? One of the reasons I chose Xbox 360 over PS3 is I could buy brand new, sealed Xbox 360 games from the likes of Play.com for £18 around three to six months after the game came out. At the time no PS3 games were discounted (possibly due to the cost of producing the Blue Ray Discs?). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
