Community Discussion: Blog by TriplZer0 | Teh Bias: Why My 360 Is Gathering DustDestructoid

Kyle MacGregor

I'm in the same boat as for why I prefer the PS3 above the 360, except that I don't have a 360, but would use it if I did. Maybe not as much as my PS3 or Wii, but I would use it for sure.

I would use that free Gold membership and download a ton of XBLA games and then just use the console for the downloadable titles and games like Deadly Premonition...which I could get for PS3 but would require a $70+ Japanese import for a game that costs $20 here in America.

Go play stuff like Limbo and I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMBIES 1N IT!!!1 Or give me the 360, bro.

I actually got rid of my 360 because of this stuff. The console is fine, but it has too many physical problems that I didn't want to deal with.

Crunshii

wow, smart players do exist!? people who don't succumb to constant micro-transactions up the ass just to play games? unbelievable.

TriplZer0 I applaud you sir, you don't follow the sheeple and get 2 more 360 just to have one while the other gets fixed. You got a working lasting system that lets you do more at no extra cost. /clap

@Crunshii
lol he's smart bcuz he agrees with my bias. fuuuuu xbots.

Mr Andy Dixon

My console preference (360, though I own a PS3 as well as a Wii) comes down to the simple fact that I like Microsoft's controller better. I've never really gotten the hang of a Sony controller, even as far back as the PS1 era. For some reason it just doesn't fit my hand right, and my gaming sessions are always cut short due to hand cramping/discomfort.

This doesn't stop me from playing all the great PS3 exclusives, of course, I just prefer to get my multiplats for the 360.

You could always get [url=http://www.jonzee.com/use-your-superior-360-controller-with-a-ps3/2009/02/05/]this,[/i] I suppose. Kind of expensive, though.

When it first came out, the 360 had better horror releases and that's pretty much the only reason why I bought it. I still think it fills the odd niche better than the PS3 though.

If you look at the range of titles the PS2 had, it's pretty eclectic compared to the PS3. I think the 360 carries on that tradition to a smaller extent, but the PS3 just lacks that niche in its software.

But really, that's down to my personal taste rather than out-and-out fact.

Tubatic

Mass Effect, Fable and the XBLA roster keeps me on the 360. If I have a choice, I'm going PS3 for most of my gaming, with binge like stop overs at my Wii every few months.

Also, Netflix. Can't wait for the streaming disc nonsense to end on the PS3.

Corduroy Turtle

Hey Cad. You don't need a gold membership to download XBLA titles.

Occams electric toothbrush

I like the infrastructure of Xbox Live better and find playing online with my friends is thoroughly enjoyable. Then again, Demon's Souls so I guess there is balance in my console love.

Mr Andy Dixon

@pedrovay2003

Thanks for the link! I'd heard about that before, but never bothered looking it up. If I ever win the lottery, I'll definitely check it out.

Kyle MacGregor

@Curduroy Turtle
Really? Interesting... Well then, I'll never have to get a Gold membership in the unlikely event that I get a 360.

Mr Andy Dixon

Yeah, like Corduroy Turtle said, you don't need it, but it is necessary if you wanna play online or take advantage of the Deals of the Week. (Live ends up paying for itself for me, since I usually wait for XBLA games to go on Deal, and then the savings is usually about half of the normal asking price.)

garethxxgod

I just saw this. This is like the anti-knutaf Bias post, which is cool because it's neat to see the other side of the arguement. While PS3's online works fine, I've honestly found myself playing more online on the 360 if only just because I know more people and they mostly do want to play which seems like more of an unsermountable task on the PS3. So for me, as far as online goes anyways I prefer 360, but that is afterall just one aspect.

Mr Andy Dixon

Oh, Gareth. Didn't anyone tell you that liking both systems isn't allowed?

;)

LawofThermalDynamics

@gareth: When you said the anti-knutaf post, I immediately thought of that SNL skit: Point; Counter point with Dan Akroyd and that lady....heheheheheh

TriplZer0

I agree with a lot of you guys. XBL does have a better interface and there are lots of multiplayer games I want to play, and more of my friends have 360's than PS3's, but I guess it's just me being biased in favor of the PS3. Or I'm just too poor to pay the subscription service (and start buying $60 games for 2 different systems)

Alger Hiss

send me your xbox live card because I can't afford it either. and yes, as much as i hate to admit it, my xbox 360 is also gathering dust. I can't help but think that this would be different if I could afford live, but I can't. Although, I can't afford any new games for it either. So whatevrr.

norm9

You hit the nail on the head with a single word- Free.

That's my main problem with the xbox, and I love the games I have for it, but all my multiplayer games will be useless in a couple months when my Gold runs out.

Neroisonfire

I mentioned this aorta in the other post abouy 360 bias, but my favor of multiplayer games being on ps4 lies in the active communities. I'm so happy to go back to games old games on ps3 and find that it's never that hard to find a match. While Halo and CoD may have more players than in ps3 numbering in the several hundred thousands every day, at least on ps3 I can go back to a game any game and find a good 20k+ people playing. The ps3 community is just less jock-gamer and diverse, welcoming obscure stuff.

Despite what people claim, the numbers of users on ps3 are roughly the same as 360, but the numbers are just distributed differently.

The Pat Man

One of the main reasons why I don't like the 360 is the controller. I know there are people out there that say it's the best controller ever, but it just feels uncomfortable in my hands. That's one of the main reasons why I haven't bought a 360 yet because I would then have to buy an adapter to use my PS3 remotes on top of all the essentials towards my gaming habits that already make the system kind of pricey (gold, hard drive, wi-fi adapter, etc).

Farenheit

I prefer online on the 360, but that fades in the background real quick once you move to Central America. I like 360's controller for FPS's and PS3's for virtually anything else.

Oh yeah, my 360 doesn't support my monitors resolution and only outputs 480p on it. My PS3 does 720p and fits the resolution.

I think I like my PS3 better, but in my head, I just keep calling it dead even. Probably because XBL is just bliss compared to PSN's clunky system. But as long as I'm in Belize, PS3 wins.

DrButler

360 controllers are utter shit. No D-pad, just a circle with a picture of one on it.

Bobby Lee Stevenson

i hate how everyone complains about paying for xbox live. it's 50 bucks a year... that's less than a dollar a week. i know homeless people who can afford that.
3 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO AFFORD XBL:
-recycle your beer cans. (soda if you play call of duty)
-eat one less McChicken a week.
-when you find a penny, pick it up.

it's really not that expensive.
