X360:

+ sports games

 

:eyebrow2:

 

 

X360:

+ arcade racing games

 

WipEout HD, MotorStorm 2, Initial D Extreme Stage are PS3 exclusive.....the 360 has zero exclusive arcade racers (PGR is no more).....every arcade racer on the 360 can be found on the PS3

 

 

 

peace

^^ At last, a refutation.

 

Talking about current lineup.

 

Motorstorm 1 is the only proper arcade exclusive out for the PS3, while the X360 has PGR 3 & 4 as exclusives, besides all the usual cross platform fare like NFS.

 

And who can forget Juiced 2 :sign_omg:

Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

 

As Vik pointed out right now there are not much of exclusives for PS3 but then so many exclusives for PS3 will be coming out this year. If you are a fan of multiplayer , go for X360. Xbox Live > PSN

 

Yeah i know some people cry and say that PSN is free but Xbox Live has sh*t loads of stuff which PSN doesn't have. There are so many Xbox Arcade Games compared to a few PSN Games plus loads of demos,videos etc. It also kinda blows that you need to pick a DS3 controller since the bundled one's come just with SixAxis controller.

 

In any case,

which ever console you buy, stick with the warranty one and pick the console from here for total peace of mind.

^ if im not mistaken, resistance uses one of the face buttons for firing aswell....that is weird.

 

It uses R1 for firing and Circle for throwing bombs and square for re-loading.

 

Yes! The controller does feel weird but thats because i am still new to the controls and i have not much of experience with PS2 controller so i am facing a bit of problem. I am still in a process of adapting but i have pulled a few headshots on R6 Vegas 2 :sign_omg:

The Boy wanted some answers he got them....

Killmachine you have your answers and decide accordingly....

One plus point of Xbox 360 over the PS3 is that the controller supports rumble out-of-the box. For the same functionality on PS3, you will have to shell out some more dough to get yourself a DS3. Right now, the PS3 controller just has SIXAXIS.

Dude, stop it!

 

The post was meant just to tell that the rumble is missing in DS2. You don't need to pull 360 into it. It's on the same vein as Wi-Fi being in-built in PS3 while for the 360, one has to shell "more dough" for the wi-fi adapter.

 

If my post have not been clear enough, let me tell you that I am NOT a Xbox 360 fanboy even though I own one. Your status, on the other hand, is highly debatable.

ur point is legit, yes teh DS2 has no rumble for PS 3. but, but the thing is, when u say u have to shell out some dough

(plus u said that it's a plus point of 360 to get rumble out of the box, whereas i can list out many such plus points for PS 3)

, that puts u in teh 360 fanboy category.

 

 

now i don't want to wage wars here dammit, get over it, every damn f**king console has it's high and low...

Oops our friend is right here...

 

Dude no need to keep AC on and all just keep Xbox in airy place and in case of long hours of gaming give it a bit of rest.

 

Yes PS3 games are costly as they are on Blu ray and Xbox games are on DL Dvd. Prices are expected to drop soon...but the drop is gonna be on both platforms so Xbox games will become even cheaper....

 

Yes MS INdia are very good with service and people had issues with PS3 service. But very few problems with 40GB PS3 version and in case of defect they will give you a new console....

Oh, I am sorry if I had to mention the fact that the DS3 would actually cost you some thing. I was under the impression that you do have to go out and buy the thing!

I would love to rephrase my earlier statement about shelling some dough but I am in a quandary as to how to say it without mentioning the fact that you HAVE to pay some money to get DS3 and avoid being branded a fan-boy at the same time.

 

Please help!!!
