No, I didn't buy the 360 to replace it. I've had the Xbox since 2009 when my brother moved out. I was in the market for a Blu ray player and liked some of the PS3 exclusives so I figured why not spend another hundred and get a PS3.

 

And I do agree that the original 360's build quality was questionable, but you have to remember that the system came out 7 years ago.

 

It's a pretty common issue. I had one that I could only use a 1FT USB to charge. I have purchased 5 controllers. Only the newest doesn't have the issue but it's young. FML

 

Either you play too much or you're cursed..

Also, you can replace the battery.. it's cheap.

 

Yes, but so did the PS3. It's not questionable, it's

If you open them up, you can tell right away where they cut costs. I used to work as a component engineer. I worked with the same ODM's Sony and MS used for their boards. There is a huge difference.

 

All this talk about hardware is making me software.

 

Don't make me get GUI on you.

 

You bout to get RAM'D with my DDR3.

 

You're turning my floppy disk into a FAT32.

i'm doing it wrong

 

 

still not buying it when it is released (the xBONe) not getting the PS4 either

 

I need more vitriol dammit. Butthurt is my sustenance.

 

are we still playing the game 'Penis'?

PENIS!

 

Did that too.

 

"play and charge" LOL.

Charge cable ftw, I don't think my battery ever left my 360 controller once.. I just plugged it in everytime it got low on life and the next time I played it was fully charged b/c it charged in the background with the console off.

 

Fixed.

 

PS3 doesn't charge when off. I always sat far from my TV so I'd rotate the controllers.

 

Very true

I've never had a problem with my original 360 though. My friend preordered it when it was announced and I bought it from him 5-6 years ago

DDR3

 

only 5GB for gaming..

 

I'm not too concerned with numbers. The 360 has shit numbers for today's standards and it's been doing quite well IMO.

8GB of RAM is 16x more than the 360.

I have no doubts either console will be much better than the last.

I'm getting both. #yolo

 

It is 8GB of Ram but only 5GB is used for the gaming portion unlike the PS4 which uses all 8GB for the gaming. There is a good article in the new Game Informer this month about the Xbox one.

 

Just pre-ordered mine!

 

 

I don't think the differences in specs will matter with this generation. Developers made games that ran on both systems and never spent extra time to make the graphics better on PS3 than the 360. They don't care about that whether a customer buys it for the 360 or the ps3, a sale is a sale. so they're not going to spend extra time and money making a game look a little better on the PS3 when all it does is hurt their bottom line in the end. Get a game working on both system as cheaply as possible and get it to market.

I don't expect that thinking is going to change this time around. Only difference will be with the few 1st party exclusives and we'll see how well those workout.

 

Played the Xbox One and PS4 today. Both consoles are HUGE. Bigger than current consoles. X1 controller is very much improved and a bit smaller. PS4 is about the same size, but not as terrible to hold in your hand, but still not comfortable enough. Not enough games available to really make a proper comparison.

 

Very cool! How were you able to check them out so far ahead of release? And I'm shocked that they are bigger than the current gens.

 

Comic-con?

 

so, pretty soon I need to decide which side I'm picking. I've been loyal to XBox the past 10 years or whenever the 360 came out. I literally was one of the first to get my hands on one from day 1. One of the main reasons why I've stayed with XBox is the controllers (and also the crappy PS3 online experience, but then again, that was awhile ago).

My question to you is... how were the controllers for the PS4? I'm not too happy with the extra $100 MS is charging, but I will stay with them and just suck it up, pay the extra $$ if Sony's controllers are going to be same or similar to the old ones.

 

I'm in the same boat. PS3 collects dust because I don't like the controller. PS4 controller is about the same size, just more penis shaped grips. It is more rounded. Honestly, I'd advise you to wait and get your actual hands on them before making a decision either way. I'm aiming for the 2nd gen of these new-gen consoles anyways after all the bugs and crap are fixed.
The analog sticks for the PS4 are now more comfortable to use though since they finally decided to go concave and not convex

Not quite 3 months until I play my 360 alone

 

I'll still dust off my 360 to play with you

 

360 will still have use with GTA 5

and then XBOX ONE will be for this:

 

After hearing and seeing more about Titanfall, I think I may eventually get an XO for that, or the next Halo. Even though I still haven't played ODST, Reach, or 4

 

On set today for a commercial with the only working prototype.

 

 

cool.. although I must admit, looks like my old Dell desktop.

 

It looks like a big ugly box. We aren't hooking it up at all. It's for show.

Doesn't do anything for me. But figured some of you guys might get a kick.
