Xbox360 won big time. At least for the first 5 years, better graphics, way cheaper, better online service, better games (from what the reviews say). Better controllers as well.

PS3 was free to play online but 360 typically had better multiplayer. 360 arguably had a better controller too.

I'm going to say PS3. They're both pretty damn equal though. Not sure if you're trying to troll but yeah MW2 was actually pretty fun when it came out.

>better graphics

nah m8 ps3 actually had better graphics than the 360.

>Not sure if you're trying to troll

Why would i? It is a simple fucking question. MW2 > ALL

Not for the first five years. Just check comparisons of multiplatform games. After five to six years the PS3's graphics became better.

Every playsation console was better than any xbox

the original xbox was better than the ps2 but the ps2 had better games

and yet i still had a ps2

so did I. But you can't deny games look much better on the Xbox. Not to mention Live was bigger than ps2 online

also modding the xbox was easy as balls

Yea you know what else was awesome back in the day. Those fucking red rings that was like the third or second last nail in microsofts coffin.

PS3 had yellow light

Fuck that yellow light

I've had a ps3 for like 10 years and have never even heard of that. Everyone knows about the rrod

>no gran turismo
>better

>paying for online access

Yea? What percentage did the PS3 get those lights? Did they have a crappy warranty program that couldn't cover the cost because if I recall correctly over 50% of those original white 360's had them. i had 3 of those fuckers red ring on me sent them back countless times to Microsoft since it was covered under warranty, never got a working console or a replacement from them. Fuck Microsoft

...

the first several years of the ps3 were pretty slow moving and for that I went with the 360. Made fun of my little brother for spending $600 to get the first gen ps3 more or less right when they came out. As years went by I found there were more quality games coming out for ps3 whereas it sorta seemed like the 360 were just cranking out sequels and trying to find gimmicks for their kinnect setup. Between that and having to buy three consoles due to E74 error with the 360 I went over to the ps3 and haven't had any regrets.

Now with these newer consoles I said screw it and built my own pc. 4GB vid card and 4GHz AMD 8 and 16 gigs of ram for 1200 will probably get me a good few years I figure.

I've had a white 360 for almost 10 years and never had a red ring, I think it's because the consoles get too hot, for example if you put a monitor on top of it.

oh and fuck paying for online play. Started to feel like Microsoft was squeezing me for every penny

you paid but you had a much better online experience. Just look at the month ps3 couldn't even play online. It was $60 a year, that's fucking pocket change

This one is from 2009 saying it was 54% failure rate.

m.ign.com/articles/2009/08/17/report-xbox-360-failure-rate-reaches-54

This one from 2013 say 68%

lmao console peasants

...

I would agree if it wasn't for the fact I was a teenager and was pretty broke, especially after the initial purchase of console

Nigga I didn't put shit on top of my console the reason they overheated is because the ventilation was shit that's why all new models including the xbone had bigger vents on top. You were lucky, about 1 in every three consoles survived because he failure rate was actually 68%

lolwat

I found eventually all of the early released consoles eventually failed after several years be it ps3 or xbox360. The real difference was the time that it took, I found that an xbox, be it a model from the first release to 5 years after would cack a lot faster than their ps3 counterparts. But really I suppose this is all anecdotal anyway...

xbox wins
two words
radiant silvergun

It was never even fucking close. The PS3 got BTFO by the Xbox 360.

Halo 3? Gears of War? not to mention other exclusives.

PSN was a fucking joke, at least it was free I guess. XBL was like six bucks a month back then but it shit all over PSN.

The PS3 with it's retarded multi cell CPU or whatever was notoriously difficult to develop for, one reason the graphics were scaled back on many PS3 titles when compared to the 360, especially the first few years they were out.

The ONE thing PS3 had on the 360 was the Blu-Ray drive.

PS3 controller is shit, didn't have backwards compatibility with PS2 games after the first generation of PS3's. Not all but mosts games on original xbox will play on the 360.

I owned both consoles btw and switched to PC master race as both the new consoles are complete dogshit.

This.
/thread

could first gen 360 play original xbox games?

I know the first ps3 could play ps1 games. Shit was so cash because I had a metric shit ton of ps1 games. It's a bitch they took that out

only some, most of the old ones couldn't be played though.

>hardware quality
ps3

>controller comfortability

>online multiplayer
xbox

If you liked playing online where people actually interacted, xbox live was the way to go.

Got the red ring, but it was an easy fix with some thermal paste. Microsoft half assed the 360s heat sink and the thermal paste would eventually disintegrate causing the processor to overheat. In most cases you just had to redo it and it'd go right back to normal.

RROD was a pain in the ass but they fixed them for free and the replacement I got is still functioning to this day after thousands of hours.

I had to swap it for free ONCE, not that big of a deal honestly. At least they fixed the shit for free.

Red ringed after year and half for me. Then again after about the same time. THEN AGAIN a third time about the same time. Life cycle of year and a half is bullshit. See these people in here screaming the old "MUH PC MASTER RACE" and watch Microsoft fuck that too. Wasn't the CEO of epic games talking about how with every number Windows Microsoft is making steam buggier and buggier

With every new Windows*

this

RROD was caused by the solder overheating on the GPU and then it wouldn't output any video, I'm assuming because it lost connection between the GPU and the Mobo. It wasn't a CPU thermal paste and heatsink issue.

I would believe it, currently running off of 7. Won't go back, not until there isn't a single motherboard on the planet that has the drivers to support it

Yeah but why buy a console you're going to have to pry open and void the warranty on in order to fix?

Most people that got more than one RROD were placing the console on a surface like carpet that won't allow the rubber feet to provide the clearance necessary to get proper airflow for cooling purposes.

Never met anyone who got a RROD after that first batch of shotty 360's as long as they put the console on a hard surface.

Also the first gen PS3's weren't exactly durable either. Sounded like a jet airplane and hardly any of them function anymore, just like the first batch of 360's

for me every xbox that busted on me it was E74, Two red rings I think, processor fault of some sort. There was a chance in repairing it the same was as the RROD but it was unlikely. You could only fix it for sure with spare parts essentially

10 is actually pretty decent. 8 was a fucking nightmare almost as bad as vista.

Honestly I could go back to 7 but I don't have to run AVS anymore b/c it's built in on 10. It's been great so far.

They didn't fix them for a lot of people including me. They just kept sending it back to me broken until it ran out on its warranty and they did this with three separate consoles that I bought after they failed to fix my console, they're actually supposed to replace it if they can't fix it and they didn't do that for A LOT of people

That may have been the case with the earliest models. The first generation 360s had all sorts of problems. The RROD on the later generations was typically a thermal paste issue. Fixed 3 or 4 of them by just redoing the heat sink.

Im pretty sure they actually had to extend the warranties from I think 2 to 5 years due to shitty batches

And you can tell they didn't do that for a lot of people because of how much the ps4 destroyed the xbone in sales. They lost the last little bit of credibility they had

thats true still like ps2 better though

I kinda liked 8 but it took a long time and really ive heard nothing but complaints from 10, funny. Yeah but considering bad feedback and the privacy issues with 10 I figure I will stick with 7. You hear a lot about 10 taking all of your info to sell to 3rd party companies and I've never really enjoyed being somebody's mule more than I have to, nothing is free, not even windows 10.

people bought the PS4 because it was marketed as a gaming console and not a home entertainment console. It was also $100 cheaper than the xbone

You'd only have to pry it open if the warranty was already expired. If you were still under the warranty you'd obviously just send it in. My friends all had 360s so we'd all play together. Playing Search and Destroy on CoD4 with a full team was awesome.

Sucks yours didn't get fixed. BTW they didn't 'repair' the consoles, they sent you a refurbished unit. That's one reason why they made sure you took your hard drive off before shipping it. My refurb is still functioning to this day.

The 360 was in no way destroyed in sales by the PS3 and even after the hardware issues was considered a giant success as Microsoft stole a very large part of the market percentage from Sony.

After the 360 Microsoft went from being the little guy in the console gaming market to being at least equal if not even bigger than Sony.

...

Like I said man especially after that first red ring, I had it on a hard surface away from heat, off the floor with plenty of air flow and zero obstruction anywhere close to it. It still happened two more times. You can't have ventilation like you did in the first white 360's it just doesn't work for something that's going to be played and turned on for hours on end.

The privacy issues are unfortunate but honestly every single electronic device you own is collecting massive amounts of meta data on you. If you knew the shit your smartphone was collecting you would throw the thing in the sewer.

>PlayStation 3 vs X-Box 360

You must be a brazilian nigger

remember when microsoft wanted xbox one to be a cloud exclusive multimedia console and you couldn't use the same CD one two different consoles? That or they wanted to eliminate CD's for that purpose? Remember when Microsoft back pedaled like a motherfucker and made an announcement "thanking" the gaming community for their feedback to allow them to "strive to be the best gaming platform possible"? Yeah they got greedy and everybody realized it and said fuck it right out of the gate. Easier to keep people happy than to win them back.

1v1 me on Rust, Interventions only faggot.

Very true, and I will admit I have tons of shit on my phone that will probably do just that. Definitely something to consider.

wasn't there also something about the kinect had to be on 24/7 and you needed to be connected online 24/7 to play games?

Yeah, Microsoft fucked up hard during the build up to the Xbone launch. Sony was winning people over like never before. Isn't th PS4 still outselling the Xbone like 2 to 1?

I still have a white 360 that works just fine. You must of had shitty luck. The first few batches of the 360 were a nightmare but they did get much more reliable later on.

Heat will always be an issue for consoles as they are so small.

marathon scope, no commando and trickshot last kill

I wanted to buy it because I spent enough buying replacement consoles I could've just built a nice PC and be done with it.

But I'm peasant and couldn't afford a nice PC

It's not even just the apps that track you, the OS is the worst. My android phone knows where my car is parked, what days I work, what route I drive to work, the traffic on my route to work, etc and I never fucking set any of that shit up or anything.

it tracks your location and speed of movment to make educated guesses on what you're doing and when you're doing it.

I've spoted another brazilian nigger !

...

Maybe just turn your location tracker off?

Yeah you're right, needed a 24/7 internet connection too, I forgot about that! Pretty sure they are still destroying in regards to sales as well. I don't know anybody who exclusively owns and xb one. Its either ps4 or both. I dunno, i hate playing the pc master race card but the consoles are just so fucking expensive I've totally shunned both tbh.

...

In the like 7 or so years I've had my 1st GeV PS3 I've never had yellow light.

Tbh nowadays a ps3 is the best choice cuz exclusives. Demon souls is the shit

...

The fucking PS3 was nothing but ghetto American niggers on PSN.

Unless you were playing madden all the other players in games like CoD were straight garbage noobs. Competition on 360 was much higher, and I still love hearing people scream nigger every 10 seconds on XBL. Comfy.

This guy gets it.

What seemed to be the main reason Live got so big though was Halo 2, otherwise they were pretty much even thanks to games like star wars battlefront

That's a good idea but there is even more shit you have to turn off if you want to disable the shit i mentioned in my last post. I remember reading some TOS that said it would record your location sometimes even if the GPS is off.

So many apps use GPS these days it might be a pain in the ass to turn the GPS off at all times

Kek

I have gps turned off and no data but I wonder what they still could get. That's almost surreal to hear about that though. Then again I hear a lot about the shit they could be doing as far as the pokemon Go app is concerned. It runs off of google maps and utilizes the phone, the installation agreement allows them access to that Im pretty sure so they are one step closer to 3D mapping like never before. Whether thats a good thing at the expense of your privacy for later convenience and whether or not they can use your camera outside of the app definitely leaves one to worry a bit. I sound like a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist but this would make a lot of sense no?

>Halo 3
Halo became mediocre af after Halo 2.

>Gears Of War
Grey and bland edgy 3rd person shooter

No thanks. I'mma sit here with muh PS3 games that don't suck ass.

Which was it being put into safe mode, mainly from overheating. I had it happen on my first original model and got a replacement without knowing what it was, then got an external fan and never had it come close to overheating again.

Halo 2 made XBL popular and then Halo 3 made it gigantic.

That's like asking which piece of moldy bread is better, when there are various fresh sandwich ingredients sitting next to them. Anyone who isn't retarded will put the effort into making a sandwich instead of being a pleb who settles for garbage.

utilizes the camera*

Ps3 50$
Dark Souls 1-2 + Demon Souls 30$
Ps vita 100$
Vita memory card 30$
Freedom wars 10$
Total: 220$ for (semi) portable D(ark)emon souls

This along with all the other incredibly stupid decisions they've made. Give it some time, they will fuck up PC gaming too for you guys just wait.

Don't try to b8 me u nigger !

Exactly. One wasn't better than the other really aside from the overall community, just what game was played.

But yeah I forgot the jet engine cooling fans. Had to turn the volume full blast to drown them fuckers out.

I don't think you sound like a tin foil hat, many people are concerned with that Pokemon Go shit

Halo 2 will always be my favorite Halo but 3 was fucking awesome. If you didn't like it you're an idiot.

And the first Gears was kick ass too, the online multiplayer was fun as fuck.

There are literally NO PS3 exclusive games that are comparable to those games in the shooter genre. There were some cool PS3 exclusives but if you wanted online shooter gaming the 360 was the only choice.

?

Btruh ouya is the best niggerian peoples

Sadly, I completely agree. Maybe eventually everything will become too big and bloated and people will go over to small independent companies that will actually need to fight to stay competitive instead of cranking out shit that's either a worn out sequel or needs to be modded to the tits in order to be playable.

remember LAN partying with about a dozen of my buddies and their friends playing Halo 2+3 and GoW. pretty fucking awesome times. The 360 did kinda own shooters, anything else though I'd opt for ps3

I could never get over how dogshit the Playstation controller is

interesting, whereas I though it was odd that the left stick was so far off to the left on the 360 controller and seemed extremely unbalanced. The marshmallowy R2 and L2 buttons have always been a problem though I found.

After playing on ps3 for it's entire life cycle I never realized that the only real reason it was so bad was due to it being so goddamn small. The ps4 controller is so much nicer
