Comments like that that reveal a lot about a poster.

Is there a reason to keep this thread open any longer ?. If you want to make an 'informed' decision you would be better off reading a handful of the latest console threads in the News forum. Plus just look at what games are available/going to be available/what games you want to play and buy that console.
Plus you could read the umpteen previous PS3 vs Xbox 360 'threads'. ..and take note that they're probably all closed..
Yes I do agree... comments like the one Brily said do reveal alot about him as a poster.

And posters like him are also the reason why threads are closed. Brily, why don't you stop making these comments and behave like a normal human being? We all appreciates your comments but you gotz to stop makin' them negative comments that make other peoples mad. Seriously though my brova!

Now check it... I understand a bit of sarcasm does break the ice in a forum every now and then, but you can't make comments like "flip a coin between a ps3 and 360". Doing so will make others look and respond to you funny. Come on now, brova... seriously! Even though Obama is in office, there's still racism by white devils, america is falling, we're in an economic depression, etc. Now is not the time to be horsing around. People want the best bang for the buck. We don't need more bs than what's been handed to us already. I'm not singling you out or nuffin, but I'm just lookin' out for you... and if you want, you can email me so we can just chill. Appreciates your reply my brova, but keep it clean, ya heard!... have a good one.a

Peace out brah!

Couldn't help but notice that you changed creaky's quote there ^.^'. And what creaky said pretty much summed up what I've been saying this whole time.

Don't know what you're taling about. But, refrain from making these comments because you might begin an unnecessary flame war that can spill into your being banned. I've seen this done before. In other words, contribute or don't comment at all to my thread. Point blank.

Word!

what are you looking for?
look at the 2 systems and what you get with them.
360 $200.00
360 hhd 20gb what $36.00
360 wireless adapter $100.00
360 xboxlive gold $50.00 plus another $50.00 per year
360 rechargable battery $30.00
t.t $416.00 plus $50.00 a year for online
ps3 everything above for the 360 all for $400.00 with nothing per year for online.

rrod real bad on the 360,and for the blu ray problem i know a few friends who had this problem. the heat from the ps3 is nothing i leave mine on for days at a time doing folding at home. i know you siad no online gaming and i was this way when i got my ps3 and for the first year i really didnt play online but now its almost all i do and now have some close friends on the psn. i dont know about the 360 but sony does firmware updates once a month or so. i thought the 360 got theres once every 6 months. the ps3 controlers are bluetooth and bluetooth mics work vary well with the ps3. yes i like the ps3 and would not give it up for a 360 but thats me. i dont think you will really get what you are looking for here. you need to get your hands on each system and test them out yourself.

OriginalPoster>if you'd clarify more what your current setup is, and perhaps what is most important to you it'd be easier for people to help guide you into which system would be best for you.

the PS3's w/ PS2 BWC are:

[NTSC]20GB (Model #s CECHBxx) No Wifi, No Card Readers, Hardware PS2 Emulation, 4 USB Ports, SACD support

[NTSC]60GB (Model #s CECHAxx) Wifi, Card Readers, Hardware PS2 Emulation, 4 USB Ports, SACD support

[PAL]60GB (Model #s CECHCxx) Wifi, Card Readers, Software PS2 Emulation, 4 USB Ports, SACD support

[NTSC]80GB (Model #s CECHExx) Wifi, Card Readers, Software PS2 Emulation, 4 USB Ports, SACD support



sll other model #s are not reported to have PS2 BWC.

I don't have a ps3 that has BWC for ps2, but i use my ps2 for the games i still have for it. hope that info helps anyone who's curious.



EDIT> those models are no longer in production, but you can still find them around.
80gb's are still in production but are stripped of the bwc now, the last bwc 80 gigs were the ones bundled with mgs4.
those model #s are no longer in production, sorry i should edit it to say model #s not Models....thanks though,

and

OriginalPoster> since this has been gone over multiple times, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A CONSOLE?? you need to give us specifics as to what your looking for or expecting from a console before someone can help you choose, not just "i want to play games". be detailed in what your looking for, ex. I want to play alot of shooter games, i want console stability, i want console w/ good warranty, i want console w/ best cost/value, so please be more specific otherwise this thread was started for no valid reason.

You swapped out creaky quoting you to creaky quoting Brily, and creaky didn't edit his post so therefore you had to have changed it yourself, making it look like creaky was talking about Brily when in reality he was talking about you.

And don't tell me what I should do, because clearly you're in no place to do so.

ddp, you clearly out of line and are being disrespectful to the people who are trying to get help for their question. Like I said before and I'll say it again... STOP inciting a flame war AND STOP disrespecting people who are seeking help from others on this thread. You challenging people is wrong and against forum rules. I will be reporting you to the forum administrator for your childlike, immature nonsense.

Ok everyone, it looks like some of you decided to disrespect others in da wake of being warned or banned. I will be reporting YOU, canuckerz, for your disrespect and disregard to the rules of this forum. Why would you risk being banned knowing that your actions be puttin you in such a position to get you in troublez??

Do us forum members all a favor and don't come to this thread... you clearly are not serious about providing aid to those who be seekin help. You are disruptin dis thread wit your attitude. I'm reporting you big time...

I think some of you are mad that we got a black man as president and are takin it out on us...

The OP has been shown the door, not least for the irrelevant chip-on-shoulder RACIST remarks.

And thus we have the latest in a long line of pointless comparison threads closed, the OP refused to take any of our sensible comments/advice seriously.

No problem. Something didn't smell right about the OP anyway, the clues were the username, lack of searching ability, constantly wanting to be spoonfed for the simplest things, but most of all the (completely irrelevant and uncalled for) RACIST remarks that came out of nowhere reminds me of an identical mal-adjusted excuse for humanity we had a spate of trouble with in the linux forum a while back. Latest example that sprung to mind - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/644857/3904194
