Isn't that an Xbox title? All Xbox titles require the HDD to work on the 360.

what?? since when do xbox games REQUIRE a HDD to work? most DON'T need a HHD, they just need space from a memory stick to save your game progress, just like all game systems....

Home/PSN will be superior to XBL and here's why: Home appeals to everyone while XBL only appeals to hardcore gamers. Home is a combination of multimedia, social networking, and gaming while XBL is just gaming.

LittleBigPlanet just kills XNA. No contest. ANYONE can design with LittleBigPlanet but only tech-minded people can use XNA.

Free online is another big one. Dedicated servers are so important, too. XBL does not use them, you are basically paying $50/yr for matchmaking. Not worth it IMO.

The Wii is cool but it isn't even in the same ballpark as the PS3 and the 360. The 360 and the PS3 are red and green apples and the Wii is an orange. There is no competition. Also, I haven't been convinced that the Wiimote isn't a gimmick yet. I'll probably end up picking up a Wii even if it's just to play the Resident Evil game coming out for it. I can't really say anything bad about the Wii except I hate the fact that it isn't capable of HD. If it gets a good selection of quality 3rd party games, it could be a great console.

Aww cmon bro....we've been on a good roll lately. Im just saying,ya have to admit that saying XBL is paying 50 bucks a year for matchmaking is pretty bogus. I mean look at the the whole picture man,the marketplace has maybe 100 demos to play,a few hundred movies and tv shows not including the actual individual episodes of the shows cause then the numbers would be well over a thousand to date....Voice chat in and out of game,in/out game invites to join session....Now about the dedicated servers...who does use them? PS3 doesnt as far as anything Ive ever heard. How could that be? Or where you just pointing out that for 50 bucks a year you SHOULD be getting dedicated servers for your money?

damn that crap is long to read lol.. sorry i was only able too skim through it though lol.. got a time frame here

oh and for junehhan, no sony does not own insomnicac or a part of it. insomniac is a developer and sony publishes their games, thats pretty much about it.

Xbox titles on the 360 require the Hard drive - its needed for the backwards compatibility code. That's nothing new. 360 games do not require it, but the original xbox games do.

I hate to bring up the DVD aspect, but How in the world can a three disc set that many people already own on SDDVD outsell a single disc making its debut?

To play any online games you need an XBL Gold account.

What makes Xbox live so great is the following:

1 login for all your games
1 place to go to view friends, achievements..etc
Chat with a friend while playing another game
Private chat with a friend while playing the same game
Invite a friend to join your game and they accept and they show up
Join a friend in co-op and just appear.

Not sure how any of the above works on the PS3, but its very seamless on the 360.

If that's the case, maybe their pockets have been stuffed to say and do certain things. When Sony stops stuffing pockets, is when they start losing more exclusives as they have done this year. I just can't WAIT to play Assassins Creed!

The Wii fad will not fade! Nintendo will win this console generation because from the very start they were pumping out good GAMES.

And THEY will only get better.

Razor05 · 10-17-2007, 01:56 PM

Bottom line is that a system is only as good as it's games and support. So for now, I have the system of choice.

There are only 3 consoles, I know of, this generation. Who does Nintendo beat this generation? Cause if youre comparing it to the 360 and PS3, thats like saying a Ford Festiva wins the race because it has better gas mileage than a Ford Mustang
