I have an Xbox360, it's in new condition, just got it two days ago from someone who wanted my tool box, he never played it much and he's only had it for a couple of months. I'm really not an Xbox fan eaither, just wanted the box gone.

The unit comes with 2 Wireless Controlers, Ear peice and 2 Games, HALO 3 and NCAA Football, let me know if you are interested..................I can come and pick up.

Thanks.

I would really consider you think about keeping the 360 over the PS3. More games, better online capabilities. The only real advantage I see to PS3 at this point is the blu ray player. I was a PS2 person for the longest time until i adjusted to the xbox 360. Just my opinion

Stroid ...gotta diasagree...the games are there now and more coming..I AM really impressed...Xbox Id say is for the "younger" folks lolfor me its about xbox live even more then the games. PS3 just doesnt have that live component that Xbox has. Yes the games are coming along for the PS3 but not at the rate that Xbox games are coming and improving. On a hardware standpoint yes the PS3 probably is better. I will probably get a PS3 eventually though.

Ok well I have both so I will actually speak from my experience with having played both back to back :) The graphics on PS3 are far superior and Stroid you keep saying that the games are not coming along as fast as 360 but when I went to best buy I wanted a few different types of games and had a hard time deciding between them! So I have to say I completely disagree with you. Just because 360 has twice as many games does not make it better. I have played COD4 on both systems and now refuse to play it on 360. The graphics are so much cleaner on ps3 and the online play IS FREE. No you dont have all the xbox live crap but quite frankly I never used it anyway.

There are two things I do not like about PS3.

1. Inorder to change the type of cord you are using (HDMI, component etc) you have to go into the options and change it with the current cable you have set up and then switch to the screen with the cable you are selecting. In other words you have to think ahead if you are taking it somewhere that does not have HDMI if it is set up for HDMI because you wont be able to change it. So when I am taking it to a friends house I set it up for composite so I can then set it up on their TV no matter what connections it has.

2. The batteries seem to die faster in the PS3 controllers because they do not turn off after a period of inactivity and I always leave them on.

No the live component doesnt measure up but all in all the PS3 is a better system and if they were to add a pay PS3 network it would blow 360 out of the water. I am happy with my PS3 and get VERY VERY sick of the same people bashing it! Seriously guys this is like the 4th time this has been done when someone mentions wanting a PS3 and they have been told its a mistake or their thread is hijacked. BOTH systems are good and let them sell their unit in peace!

I have both. I play both. The xBox has way more games, but the PS3 has some really sharp graphics and if you have a 1080P set the Blueray player is outstanding. I don't like the fact that you can't change the batteries in the PS3 remotes, but I do like the fact that they are Blue-tooth. Some of the new physics engines that are being created to run on the PS3's processors are out of this world. The problem is the PS3 platform way more advanced than the games avalable... The games are just now starting to catch up, but you have to look for PS3 only titles.

Like what was mentioned before, one of the greatest things about XBox is XBox Live. You always have someone to play with.

Don't mind the info, but to be honest, I am not much of a gammer, I hadn't played my PS2 in 3 months before Mon, and if I do play it, it is for an hour or two then that's it.

The reason I want a PS3 is because me and my two older brothers will only play one game and that is Tekken, it the only game we play and as for me by myself, the only other game I play is TombRaider, and this isn't out on XBOX, I've been playing this since I was in high school.

While I have the unit, I started playing HALO3 which is nice, but as good as it is, I've only played it about 5hrs in Total, I used to play TombRaider for 18hrs straight, sometimes all through the night, I don't think I have the juice for that anymore, that was 9yrs back, I'm not much of a gamer, I'd much rather be turning wrenches or watching Law & Order........

Oh, I wouldn't even know how to go on XBOX Live, and after I lost $400-$500 worth of fish, I'm going to be spending some time researching and reading so that I don't make that mistake again.

Oh, one last thing, I saw the preview for Heavenly Sword, I want to play that game and I think it is Playstation3 only, something about Female Action figures get's me..............

I did say PS3 has better hardware and the possibilities are great but not there yet. For me that is critical xbox live is freaking awesome and yes PS3 has online capabilities just not the same as xbox and I think that it makes a difference. Yes the orginal poster said he wants a ps3 I was just sharing my personal opinion on the matter. It is a forum Charlie thats kinda the point to discuss different opinions. Plus just because you dont like or use the xbox live part of the 360 doesnt mean other people may not find it a great selling point. Again yes the PS3 does have better hardware capabilities. Also I didnt see that much of a difference between COD on xbox and ps3. I played the PS3 version yesterday.

But your assuming that's super important to everyone. To me I rarely play online because I don't play the COD, Halo's etc very often. Those are just as cool not online anyway. So while if that's important to you it's an advantage to a lot of us it's not.

It's hard to argue the value of a PS3 with a Blu-Ray now. Just not much disadvantage for the nice advantages and the games while smaller in number are at least as good and there is plenty out there now.

Game411
03-13-2008, 2:16 PM
Yeah, truly, can't we all get along?

Y'all remind me of the old days when we used to argue at the car clubs about Domestics vs Imports, Cheap Horsepower vs Rice rockets...........

All I wanted was a PS3 because it has a value to me and my brothers, could careless if XBOX has free XBOX Live for 10 yrs, by the time I try and figure out or take the initiative to hook all this up, I'll have already bought my 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R, and once I get that bad boy, not even my wife get's any attention leave alone a game.

Only thing that'll come before my GT-R is God and Kids, screw IRS and Bills, GT-R $ LIFE BABY!!!

Now, does anyone have PS3 before we get all side tracked?

George
03-13-2008, 2:18 PM
How much are you asking?

One thing you can do on a PS3 is graduate from Halo 3 to the big boys club for FPS and play UT3. On a keyboard and mouse, no less.

Oh, you want a trade? Can't help you there.

Game411
03-13-2008, 2:19 PM
I have a guy who offered $400 for it, and if the first deal falls through, he'll come to pick up mine on Sat.

But if you want the game, I would consider trading it to someone who needs corals and is willing to buy the game, that way I can go buy a PS3, at the moment I have no tank set up except for a 20 Gal, I am still trying to get rid of the Mamoth 220Gal sitting in my brothers garage.

Game411
03-13-2008, 2:20 PM

Every time a thread like this is posted, it always sparks a debate (even when one is not invited). Amazing how passionate you guys get about your silly gaming consoles. This particular debate has been done and done to death. There was even a poll posted and, interesting enough, a lot of the debaters never bothered with the poll thread, even though it was a thread inviting debate. How odd.

Why insult the intelligence of someone by saying he doesn't know what he wants. A lot of you did that to me when I dared to mention the PS3. Game411 didn't post this thread asking for opinions. He was only looking for a trade.

And, Game411... personally we love our PS3. We did the research, did the *test drives* and got what we wanted. Different strokes for different folks.

Enjoy yours when you get it.

i own both consoles. they both have their ups and downs. considering how the motion picture society decided to use the blueray format, HD DVDs are now the new betamax and 360 will have to change.

it's going to be tough to find a trade considering the MSRP of both consoles.

I understand what your saying....So does Sony...They know XBL is killing them...Thats why they are rushing "Home" and trying to beef up their online...I have both and play both, I alt. days 3 days PS3 ,3 days 360, NES on the 7th day..

George, the comment about UT3..:thumbs: :thumbs: Halo is for the kiddies..I like to think of it as slow motion Unreal...

As far as the difference between the 2 of them....360 has 4 3.2ghz cpu's, 3 are dedicated to gaming as were the PS3 has I think 8, the list goes on and on...

Dont forget MGS4 this year..

From another thread:

It will be tough right now to find really good games for the PS3 because they dont exist...like others have said. I to would have gone with a xbox360 and i dont think thats bad advice your kid might appreciatte it. Also Linda you should check your tone when you talk to people especially when they are trying to help you out. You guys need to chill out...another incident of ARC overreaction.


This is my point. Everytime someone mentions wanting a PS3 and what games to get or is selling their 360 to get a PS3 they are told they are doing the wrong thing because THE PERSON TYPING thinks it is wrong for them so IT MUST be wrong for everyone! There are two systems because each is different and different people want different things.

Apparently my opinion is crap and people only read one part of the response and ignore the rest.

My point here is that they werent asking for an opinion, they were trying to sell a 360. The thread was then hijacked (by me as well) by people saying that one is better than the other when it is completely off topic. This is a forum for discussion but this portion of the forum isnt really meant for that.

Now Ziad I met you at the meeting and Ive got no hard feelings man. I just feel like sometimes if a person decides on one thing they are antagonized if it doesnt align with someone elses opinion on it. If I offended anyone I do apologize and Ziad I do value your opinion but just realize that if someone doesnt agree, that doesnt mean they think your opinion is crap. It simply means they disagree.

I still think your missing the point dude I am just sharing my personal experience...I even said I will probably get one eventually. As well I didnt put the PS3 down I just gave some pros about the xbox. If someone creates a thread on this board or any board for that matter and I have a either a different opinion or simply a different suggestion I am going to put it out there. I said my opinion is crap apparently because I felt like I was being attacked for making a comment. Clearly PS3 is a great system and clearly the xbox is also. Your right the original poster didnt speciffically say I want opinions but he didnt say I want to sell this and nobody give any comments unless they want to buy this item.

Thanks Linda for the clarification.


Can I clarify this:

I posted this thread with my own intentions, I'm not going to Dog out the advice Stroid and the rest gave, because if I didn't know what I was doing, it would have made a whole lot of difference, but I like what DAWGDUDE said:

My point here is that they werent asking for an opinion, they were trying to sell a 360. The thread was then hijacked (by me as well) by people saying that one is better than the other when it is completely off topic. This is a forum for discussion but this portion of the forum isnt really meant for that.

I would hate for people in the forum to be tight lipped about advice or their opinions because that's how we learn from each other, but don't get too passionate about the topic to completely overshadow the Thread starters original request...................this is kind of a little hard to explain but basically what I am trying to say is, give out your opinion but do it politely or ask why someone wants to do something or buy or sell something before making any judgements.

Best example is this situation, you could simply have asked me why I wanted a PS3 over an XBOX and I would have told you, I don't play games and there is only ONE game me and my brothers play when we are all at my folks house, they are in their 30's so that's why I wanted it, and this would have ended the whole debate. I have read and know about games, I have seen more PS3 on sale over XBOX 's, and when I get my PS3, it's probably going to end up like my PS2, covered in dust and used once every 3 to 5 months..............

And there is a lounge where we can passionately argue our point of views, like the way I was arguing with George and Humptrax about the ZO6 vs F430 etc...........

I have 3 of the 360's not because one is beter than the other but because we in my house don't shear very well. Since I cant aford 3 of these I will have to wait.

I thought I was polite about it and I did simply offer my opinion. In my first post I said at the very end just my opinion. Either way my bad for hijacking your thread never was my intention just sharing my opinion...Ill make sure not to do that in the future.

Didn't say you were rude, but just the way the comments went back and forth was a little too passionate, can't really say anyone was rude, people were just trying to get their point across............

No need to apologize, people don't like a thread being hijacked, I for one am really open minded about stuff and pretty much laid back (Unless you are dissing the Corvette ZO6 or Skyline GT-R), but not everyone is.

There is nothing wrong trying to advise a fellow reefer, they might not know what they are doing, just saying that instead of getting into a back and forth post match and consequently ending up hijacking the thread wether done politely, it's still not the most polite thing to do. Just ask why someone decided to make the choice they did, if they aren't informed, then some info will help, if they know exactly what they want, this would have ended by two posts.

What to do, oh, another reason why I want the game so bad even though I don't play them much is because of Tekken 6, we were looking at it on youtube with my brother, the game looks TIGHT!, I don't know if it came out for PS2 but I'll look.

I think that has to be the BEST fighting Game EVER, it's the only reason I we bought the PS2 when they first came out, and the only other reason why I want the PS, that and Tombraider and also Heavenly sword, anyone has these games by the way?

Heavenly Sword is kinda like God Of War on Cocaine....Except waaay to short..MGS4, Im telling you is going to be great...

you have to buy the cooling kit or mod the 360 to have a ton of fans.

they only go bad if you play them like crazy and just rely on their crap fans.

Oh, I got the PS3 Yesterday, game is awesome, even though I can't say how much since I am still playing PS2 games on it, got a nice collection of music on it.......
