i own a xbox 360, but i have to say that the playstation 3 has way better games, features, and is overall more powerful. however i don't really like the controller of the playstation 3. it's too small for my hands and the triggers blow. the few reasons why i own a 360 is because it was cheaper, i was a halo fan, and i was really anticipating fable 2.

3. That is the reason people are laughing at you (together with the lying about how they fix it for free for forever), you are making stupid not valid points up all the time. No one is laughing at you for liking one console better than the other, most people (even the ones with all of them) likes one of them better than the other.

There is so much wrong with your post but I'm not even going to bother. I will just try to sleep, knowing that somewhere out there you are teaching kids.

1.Look at your posts.

2.Then you're wrong. And no, you said the 360 audience was mature. Also wrong.

3.And you do make up points. You said the 360's audience is all mature, that they'll fix it forever for free, that the 360 necessarily has better games because there's more of them... Of course, even if that was all true you're still acting like a fanboy anyway.

4.No.

5.No.

6.No.
The 360 is likely to spontaneously combust the moment you turn it on. If you break the PS3 it's much more likely you're the one at fault.

WoollyPenguin:

Excuse me?
I disagree with you and you call me a fanboy and state my opinions?

No, you got called a fanboy for being a fanboy.

Please, please act maturely as right now your labelled as one of the kids who like to mouth off at people. Offense intended.

You can't tell someone to act maturely and then say you intend to insult them. In fact, everything you say seems to revolve around the fact that you and the 360 fanbase are mature whilst everyone who likes the PS3 is a little kid. Please, surely you realise how immature that is? No one who's mature says they're mature, simply because it's an immature thing to do. If you were really as mature and logical as you think then you wouldn't need to say it, it would be evident from your posts. Let's go over your posts right from the very start:
WoollyPenguin:
No Biasim here.

This instantly translates as "I'm biased so I'll try to lie about it". If you're not biased then you don't need to tell people you're not.
360.
It has more games than the PS3 and thus better games,

This is logic?
PS3s have free online multiplayer but one-hell-of-a-lot of kids play it. Many admit to it, The community is appalling compared to the mature 360 audience.

Seriously?

360: Many PS3 fanboys say that get a PS3 or get RROD. Guess what? If we get RROD/other problem its fixed "FREE", Thats right folks! Everything is free!
If you get a PS3 and it breaks be prepared to spend a insane amount of money to fix it.
*shrug*

And so you should, since if your PS3 breaks it's most likely your fault. If your 360 breaks it's Microsoft's fault, of course they're going to pay for it. Of course, if you have your 360 for any remotely acceptable amount of time for it to break then you'll have to pay for it anyway, so your point is invalid.

I would carry on in this fashion, but I hate quoting single sentences or short paragraphs at the best of times and there's really no other way to respond to anything you say. Just remember this: You are acting like a fanboy, you're not acting logically, and you're certainly not acting in a mature fashion.

1. And how am I being one?

2.I never said every 360 player is a saint. I said there are fewer due to us being paid for thus less idiots come here due to having to pay.

3. And what do you base this upon? I stated that as everyone calls each other a fanboy. If I was being biased you would see me making up points.

4. That is logic as if it has been out longer more games will come out thus with a increased chance of a game coming out.

5. Yes they do admit to it and from what I have seen and heard it is appalling compared to our community. Though when you come across idiots here (rare) they tend to be such dumb-asses it counts for 8 idiots on the PS-3.

6. If the PS3 breaks its sonys fault with the developing and making, Same with microsoft.

At the person who thinks I shouldn't be a teacher, Thats rude and insulting.

At the person with the confirmation on the restore thing: Thanks, Thats a point and thanks again for correcting me.

Oh, it's not enough to just own the console. You've got to talk bollocks about them as well. It's important stuff, just like supporting a Football Team and other loss-making ventures.

If you've got a 360, play the games enjoy it. If you've got a PS3, play the games enjoy it. If you've got a Wii...erm...um

I just don't understand the need to argue about this stuff, to justify your choice to the world, to try and convert people. Get both, if you can't get the one with the most games you want.

Re: ps3 or 360

matneee — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:10:46 GMT

Sorry, Sorry. But he was stating some rather bizarre stuff as fact

However, for the sake of clarity;

The RROD general hardware failure warranty lasts for 3 years from date of purchase AFAIK. It is not "free for any amount of time" The E74 error has recently been added under the same duration of coverage.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/microsoft-extends-warranty-on-xbox-360-e74-error

Sky on Xbox does not "= thousands of channels for £15 a month! " I believe you get Sky News for free. If you get an Xbox Live Gold account, then pay the £15 Sky subscription, you get 24 channels. You can then pay a premium to get extra ones like Sport packages and Movie packages.
More details Here

Last time I tried Facebook on the PS3 web browser, there were problems with a few of the interface buttons. I hear the Wii opera browser has the same trouble, but I've not bothered trying. Nor have I bothered trying with the PSP Web Browser. That said, Uncharted 2 integrates with Twitter for reasons entirely beyond me, and I'd be surprised if there's not a Facebook app on the PS3 sometime soon. God knows why though - people are leaving it in their droves.

The PS3 Motion Controller - which works in conjunction with the Playstation Eye to do accurate 3D tracking yadayadayada is very well documented - predicted out next spring I believe. No link, just google it.

And so on.

EDIT - And since when was More games 'thus better games' ??? Jesus, surely if the Apple App Store has taught us anything, it's that if you open your doors to a tidal wave of shite, you're soon going to be neck deep in shite. Great for the discerning gentleman who Knows What He Likes and Isn't Afraid to Pay Extra For It, not so great for others.
Quality, not quantity is the order of the day, thank you very much. Which isn't to say there aren't superb games for all three leading home consoles, of course.
*Sigh* Sorry. Ranting again...

Dear God. If this guy is a teacher, the education system is in worse shape than I feared. Leave school now and get yourselves a nice cozy job in a Slavic brothel is my advice kiddies - at least that way you get a few years head start on the career ladder.

I don't think this is true anymore. Early in the PS3's life cycle it was, but since then I think the list of PS3 exclusives has surpassed or at the very least matched the 360's.

Oh there is so many reasons to say you're a fanboy or someone just trying to justify his pick of console. Not just the lies like

"360: Many PS3 fanboys say that get a PS3 or get RROD. Guess what? If we get RROD/other problem its fixed "FREE", Thats right folks! Everything is free! "

You dont. RROD is got a extended warranty but after that you dont get it for free not to mention that it's only RROD that there is extended warranty on (so people actually try to melt their consoles if they get anything but a RROD to cheat MS to get their extended warranty and a replacement). Not to mention that you dont have to pay any insanse amount to get your warranty fixed everywhere, i dont know about the rules in wherever you live but if it's not my fault that it breaks in the first 2 years of owning it i have the right to get it fixed for free (paying shipping myself).

But also the need to mention stupid stuff like facebook (that you will need a gold account for i believe, correct me if wrong) that you can already use with the ps3 (and wii) browser.

Natal without mentioning that ps3 got some stupid gimmick motion controller too and then based your opnion about online and there being more kids there based on some kids talking about it where you work.

and then you telling some guy in another thread he fails because he thinks halos story got worse with each game.

Wow i shouldn't have bothered because i'm pretty sure it falls on deaf ears.

1. Actually its free for any amount of time.

2. Any proof you can use it with PS3? And I'm stating a few attractive (to some) features.

3. The PS3 Has not got a motion controller as far as I am aware. And some kids I met there, Kids I hear talking about it... And logic.

4. I'm a bit of a fanboy for halo.

Now stop insulting me and start acting mature. It really annoys me to talk to idiots.

Ho the irony... the irony.

If you have not played fable before your 360 died go to hell, Seriously. One of the best RPGs I have ever played of the many I have played. Reccomend FALLOUT 3 aswell! EDIT: After reading a few posts many people claim that the 360 has a really high failure rate. The chance now of a RROD on a new 360 is extremely low. Lower than picking a 100 pound note off the street.

You have got to be kidding me. That is the dumbest idiotic fanboist (if that is a word) post I've ever read.

I think YOU are the most proclaimed xbox 360 fanboy yet.

One more time....

This kid is a genious, right Maggot?

And by the way, it's the teeny boppers that buy just for consoles.

It is the die hard gamers that buy the system for what product they would like to purchase, and THEN they get the console. It doesn't matter what console you have, it's the games you want to play that sell the console.
