I'm sorry that the general opinion held by the public at-large that XBox Live has a more reliable connection and more content isn't all that impressive to you. A reliable and non-lagging connection has always been important to me, whether I was gaming on a PC, Xbox, Playstation, or anything. You don't have to accept my statement that Live is better, but I can assure you that general public opinion has agreed with that, though I'm sure there are some on here that don't agree (which I of course assume includes you).

 

Netflix is but one cog of many in XBox Live, just as the ability to download movies from the Playstation Network is one cog of many in it. Let me be clear about something: there is a difference between the two. You can download movies and TV Shows without Netflix on XBox Live. That requires you to download the entirety of the movie or show to your hard drive. The Netflix service is on-demand streaming of the movie you're selecting.

 

As for game support, that's fine that COD5 has the same glitches. That's not what I'm referring to at all. I'm talking about the game library. Like how PS3 has Metal Gear Solid 4 and how XBox 360 has Halo 3 and GOW 1 & 2, that sort of thing. The 360 has many, many more games at this point than the PS3.

 

I had a detailed post explaining what I thought were clear advantages of the 360 over the PS3. They are not necessarily features that the 360 possesses that the PS3 doesn't but features that I believe the 360 does better. There are of course things that the PS3 does better than the 360 as well. I don't know what else you want from me other than to make sure I know that you're not impressed with that description. I'd encourage you to tell me just what you think makes the PS3 better. I'm assuming I'll hear Blu-Ray (which I don't want in my system anyway since I prefer to watch that in the family room with my family) and other various hardware features that I don't care the least about (Wi-Fi: I would never play a game on the internet except over a wired connection, Internet Browser: That's why I have a computer) and some I do (Graphics).

xbox might have more games but i would have to say majority of the popular good games are offered by ps3(obviously not halo)

Still not impressed with the netflix, And i have talked to a few guys at work that have the xbox live gold package with netflix, most new releases arent available to them.

Iv never had a connection problem or my online service go down for days, can't say i can say the same for xbox live.

And im not really saying ps3 is better but the quality of the network is not as bad as you make it sound to be. By the way, Blu ray is unreal if you have the right set up.

I dont think you are going to convince me otherwise, i have seen and been on both networks and il stick with sony over microsoft. Your happy with your setup and same goes for me.

I mean, I just explained to you what they offer that PS3 doesn't. If I offer you a better steak than the other guy, I'm offering you something he doesn't. Sure, he's got a steak too, but not the quality that I'm offering. If you're looking for raw hardware or features, then no, for the most part the 360 doesn't offer much that PS3 doesn't have in some sort of a direct comparison outside of specific games.

 

.

You said something about netfilx and i countered that ps network offers movies as well. Other than that, your explaination of why xbox live is superior to ps3 wasn't to impressive.

As for game support, i know for a fact cod5 on xbox has the same glitches as playstation.

Well pretty much everyone tends to think that XBox Live is a better service than PS Network. Usually when that straight answer is given the PS enthusiasts counter that PS Network is free. And that's fine, but Live is still a better service. If you're willing to pay that much extra for a console, it should be no problem understanding why we pay for a better online experience.

 

The 360 has much better game support right now, and looks like they will have that over the lifespan of these consoles. Playstation used to stake their claim with exclusives, but those are far, far fewer now. Metal Gear Solid is still a huge one for Sony, but it is somewhat negated when you look at some that XBox has to offer, the Halo & Gears of War series chief among them. A lot of the game support superiority has come about because developers have actually found it difficult to work with Sony's cell processor. This is a big reason you see such long delays on games with the PS3.

 

A very nice feature that XBox has recently added is the Netflix streaming over the internet. Several 360 owners that I know have taken advantage of this, replacing their traditional Netflix service with this.

 

Of course the biggest advantage is that right now is the cost differential. Most will point out the Blu-Ray but prices have fallen to a point that you can get a 360 and a Blu-Ray for less than a PS3. And that's why you're seeing the PS3 losing the war in this generation, and make no mistake, they're losing the war. Both the Wii and 360 had huge sales increases over the previous year this Christmas, whereas the PS3 fell off from a year earlier, and the message is "IT COSTS TOO MUCH."

My brother has xbox and i havent seen anything that they offer that ps3 doesnt.

As far as better service, please explain? I can remember my brother making his annual yearly payment a few weeks ago(on time) and spending an hour on the phone with xbox because they locked his account for non payment.

Ps3 network offers downloadable movies and tv shows also. From what i saw with the xbox netflix that my brother had, there weren't a lot of newer releases available. is this true?

Has he signed with anyone yet?

Just bought the PS3 last night, and I paid for it today. Madden and Merlot just don't mix after 5 hours of playing. I have a question about online play, I tried to register for the PS Network but I kept receiving an error message, is this common? As long as I have wireless can I just register and start playing online?

Should be just as simple as that. What kind of error message are you getting?

How is NBA? I just played the new COD a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It is awesome.

 

I'm shocked that people prefer the XBOX over PS3. I'm interested to hear what features people prefer that the XBOX has that PS3 does not offer...

I have asked this question multiple times on this board and could never get a straight answer.

Iv had my ps3 for a year now, i love it, no problems.

I'm waiting on the reports to be released. He had to update them this morning with the 2 other charges in ohio and the cell phone calls made from her cell phone. We got to turn one into AmEx and another to the bank. I'd love to know who owns those 3 cell phones, but cbell won't divulge any information to me.

 

The credit companies (or whatever you want to call them have been notified). For the bank account, I will be contacted immediately on anything that tries to come through even though the card has been cancelled, but they have the checks. The wife called the social security office today to let them know what happened, and that the thieves have obtained her SSN. They told her to call them back when they actually use it. :irked: There is a company out there called lifelock that we are contemplating using. It's an identity theft program, but has a monthly fee. :irked: However, it could help if they try to use her SSN years down the road.

Can you get the phone numbers off her cell phone statement when you get it?

chipolte > moes, Qdoba

Golden Eye!!!!!!!

I agree

I'd like to see him back, never wanted to get rid of him in the first place.

I believe a reciever from a couple years ago is on the current UC roster. Walk-on, I think!

Where did someone read a police officer asked Armstrong to leave the bar? I haven't seen it anywhere.

I read in the paper that in the police report it stated that one of the assistants was kicked out of the lodge. Not sure if a cop was actually there or not.

Being a man that takes many cabs downtown, there are a ton of shady cab drivers working down there. It wouldnt suprise me if the cab drivers story was exaggerated or even a lie.

Marvin is horrible. I hope the rumors about his year end resignation come to fruition.

I'll give him some credit, he was able to motivate some players when he first got here, but you are right, he is a horrible coach.

If you beat the game mode on Cod5 there is a perk called nazi zombie. Its an online game, You and three friends get locked into a house and try to keep tons of nazi zombies out by shooting them. Its pretty addicting.

Which one is the WWII one?

Call of Duty 5-= WWII

Call Of Duty 4=Modern Warfare

I like them both, but if i had to choose i would have to say cod4 is better. I like the modern guns and options.

Find myself rooting against the NY Giants for two reasons...

Eli Manning and a certain fan on this board

If you take the name and face out of this trial and compare this sentence across america, you will find this sentence to be a little harsh. So OJ was not sentenced to the crime he committed last year. He was sentence for murder.

Do you have any links to websites about sentencing stats?

This sentence sounds about right for kidnapping, and robbing someone at gunpoint.

The Matador- Pierce Brosnan classic

Donnie Darko- just a weird but good movie

I know nothing about this year's Corbin team. Sounds like they run, how is their passing game?

You need to go check out the video for "Sweet Child Of Mine" again. Axl looks positively girly with the clothing, makeup and tousled hair that would've made the guys from Poison envious. They changed the look soon after it became obvious the hair metal fad was dying, but that is indeed what they looked like initially.

You should see some videos of The Who from the early 80's. Im pretty sure Daltrey and Townshend had flock of sea gulls hair cuts. That doesn't mean they still didnt rock.

I'll give him credit for being neurotic, self-important, paranoid and boorish, that's about it.

 

They got lucky with their timing is about all I'll give GR. They came along at a time when people had gotten sick of hair metal, they were slightly different (although I've always thought of them as on par with Poison, Winger, etc.) and that was enough to snow unsuspecting hard rockers.

 

It wasn't the Sex Pistols, but G'n'R, in fact, who pulled the great rock'n'roll swindle.

I took the bait.I know you have been waiting for someone to defend gnr so you can could get on your musical high horse and preach to us that gnr history lesson.

Thanks

They were never more than mediocre. Slash was probably the best part of the band, without him it would be foolish to expect anything better than their previous mediocre work.

Mediocre? Where u alive in the 80's in their hey day?

Slash is the man, but you gotta give Axl credit has a frontman.....
