Thread: PS3 or XBox 360

Another BIG thing that I noticed is how Xbox whores out their online network with so many damn advertisements...PSN is ONLY PSN....Not no freaking advertisement machine..

A few new PS3 games have come out recently, so I haven't even turned on myXbox Elite for the past month or so....PS3 is definetly the way to go if you want simple/advanced gameplay..

Said the man who's Xbox live bio is "PS3 is still better"

You're right about the ads man, they do bug me....then again, sometimes they are for things I end up buying. Where you been Ben?

the only reason id buy a xbox or ps3 is to play madden.
hihi, i started to beat the dude who gave me my xbox after about two months even though i have never played something like that before.

but as far as ive read on the internet, the hardware components on the xbox are just not solid enough. bad dvd players, horrible cooling systems but people say the software games are better along with the controllers.

Most people have problems within the guarantee period. often within a year. and microsoft has as usual tried to get away from problems that really should be easy to fix. like refusing to accept that their choice of dvd players wrecks the dvds until somebody actually went to court. (my problem)

To be honest, Madden isn't that great on either system. 07 was just terrible. 08 was better, but they better get it together for 09. Stupid EA.

nah, its way cool. Especially to play with friends.

The only problem I have with it isnt the gameplay, but the layout and completely lack of common sense stats display if you play franchise.

the AI is pretty good actually. especially the difference from pro to all madden.
They really have spent a lot of hours doing the AI scripts, thats for sure.
When lisp or something like that become usual for AI scripts, man, then we will be talking about really cool games.

I haven't been too impressed with the last couple Maddens either...They could've done ALOT better with the next gen gameplay for both systems...

I hope this one with Favre on the cover, isn't another 08 with updated rosters.

Buy American!

PS3- One damn good reason...Metal Gear Solid 4 --8 days and counting...

Sony has lost over $3 billion on the PS3

Think you paid too much for your Playstation 3? Don't expect any sympathy from Sony.

In the company's fiscal 2008 annual report, Sony revealed that they've now lost roughly $3.3 billion (that's billion with a B) on the Playstation 3 since its launch. That breaks down to $2.16 billion in 2007, followed by a notably smaller but equally daunting $1.16 billion loss in 2008.

The reason? Pricing the console below its production cost. That's right - that hefty $599 you paid for the PS3 back when it first launched was significantly cheaper than the cost of producing it in the first place, and while the retail price has come down some, the losses keep piling up.

Investors have reason to sweat. In a statement, Sony claimed "the large-scale investment required during the development and introductory period of a new gaming platform may not be fully recovered." They went on to note that they've invested a great deal of money into R&D for the console, a sum they might not be able to recoup if the PS3 "fails to achieve such favorable market penetration."

Sony fanboys should take heart, however. Losing money on hardware is relatively common in the video game biz, as companies routinely lower prices to sell more units and thus stimulate software sales. Sony's game division saw a 26% sales spike last quarter, a trend they expect will continue on the strength of strong exclusives like the recently released Metal Gear Solid 4 and the upcoming sequel Resistance 2.

But will it be enough?

Well the sum bishes dont have that many games............... This is how HP makes money on printers. If they only make 2 colors of toner, they will lose money.

In a year and a half they will show record profit on the PS3.......... IF not, I hope I can still play COD4 online.
