Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Traditionally, this forum has been a "Microsoft Shop", if you will. Any new multi-platform game would be almost exclusively bought for the 360, while the PS3 and Wii threads gathered dust.

However, the times they appear to be a-changing. More and more in multi-platform game threads I see the list of posters buying the PS3 version meeting or exceeding those buying the 360 version.

And check this out -- three games on the PS3 have regular online play and organized leagues: Warhawk, COD:MW2, and RDR. We aren't doing this for any 360 game currently. :(

What's the reason for the shift? Is it because the PS3 is more reliable? Is it because single-console gamers prefer the PS3 due to the Blu-Ray capabilities? Is it because online multiplay on the PS3 is free? Or is it something else entirely.

An inquiring mind wants to know!

PS3 people just have to be more organized because they can't pop on and find people playing.

:dance:

Come on Groucho, let's not fan the flames of the console wars...

Which only took chuckd 7 minutes to do!

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Not really interested in that. It's just a trend I noticed and was curious to see why.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

With this forum, I think it's the blu-ray thing. I still do about 70% of my gaming on the 360, with 20% on the PS3 and 10% on the Wii. It took blu-ray winning the format war along with some PS3 exclusives that got me to buy one.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Speaking for myself personally, I was always a 360 guy and didn't even get a PS3 until about a year ago. But I have definately transitioned to an all-PS3 guy. I can't even remember the last time I turned on my 360 and my Live account expired at the beginning of the year I think and I didn't bother renewing because I just don't care. I honestly have no explanation for it, but I just prefer playing games on the PS3 now. The only exception I can think of would be the Guitar Hero games, if I ever got back into those it would be 360 versions since all my previous GH stuff in 360.
Oh, and for me it has nothing to do with Blu-Ray. I already had a Blu-Ray player when I bought the PS3 so I don't use it for that.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Not sure if this was intended as a bash, but there is a ring of truth to it.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

For me, the PS3 is only for platform-exclusive games. If it's available on 360, that's the version I'll get. There are exceptions here and there, for when the PS3 version offers additional features. The only one that comes to mind right now is Mirror's Edge. Sounds like Portal 2 may fall into that realm too.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Eventhough it's a PS3 exclusive, we also had a league for MLB 10 The show too ;)

I originally wanted a 360, but choose the PS3 instead bc of everything you listed: bluray and free online. And it was also the only way to play MLB 10. I personally feel that the PS3 has a stronger library of exclusive games (God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, MLB The Show, Infamous, etc) compared to the 360 (Halo, Gears of War, Left4Dead). Plus every single person I knew that had a 360 suffered from the RRoD too.


If you are a Medal of Honor fan, the PS3 version is going to exclusively have a HD version of Medal of Honor Frontline. And didnt Batman Arkham Asylum have the Joker as an exclusive on the PS3 as well?

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

In my case has been the opposite. I have not played a PS3 game in a long time, for different reasons besides just the games.

Maybe us, Xbox gamers, spend more time playing and that's why we don't post too much here... ;)

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Oh yeah, Batman was one that I got on PS3 as well. I have no interest in Medal of Honor on any console, really. ;)

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I still don't really understand this notion that there aren't enough PS3 online players to find a game at any given time. There are always plenty of options for any given game at any given time. Warhawk is, what, three years old now? And there are always at least 40 or so games going of 20+ players each.

We crazy PS3 crackers form our own leagues and play dates because we'd much rather play with our own douchebags (Hi Slider!) than other random douchebags because we can come on here afterward and complain about their binoc spamming and horse shooting. And I think it's a given that the 360 per-capita online douchebaggery is much greater due to the saturation of the console among the particular demographic that downloads the shit that comes out on RBN for the PS3. BTW, thanks for all the death metal, assholes. There are still plenty of PS3 cock knockers, don't get me wrong there...

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I have all three consoles, but I definitely still play my 360 more.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I still trend towards 360, but I have picked up a few multiplatform games on the PS3. For multiplayer I certainly prefer the 360, but otherwise PS3 does have the advantage of scratch resistant discs (meaning that you're much safer buying used PS3 discs over 360 ones). For whatever reason, PS3 discs tend to hold their trade-in value better than 360 games (likely because less are sold and therefor less available for trade-in). I bought Tiger Woods 11 on the PS3 for its upcoming optional Move integration -- other upcoming games might also get me to buy PS3 versions based on that feature.

And don't forget Dead Space 2 -- getting a Move-enabled copy of Dead Space Extraction included for FREE is a huge bonus, IMO

:lol:

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Not the way I read or responded to it at all.

With cross game chat, invites, parties, etc. there is little need to post on a forum to get a game going.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

That's pretty much it.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

So when this is mentioned it has to do with available friends? I always thought we were talking about signing on and finding available games. That makes more sense. I can dig it. It may be a little more difficult to get an impromptu game going on PS3 but I rarely play online impromptu. Could be a chicken/egg situation though.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

RDR-exclusive gang hideout
BatmanAA - exclusive joker levels
MOH - remastered MOH Frontline included
Dead Space 2 - Dead space extraction included
and in the future there will be Move support on a various titles
From what I am told from friends who game on the 360, the douchebaggery is monumental and far worse than what goes on on the PS3. They hate the high amounts of trashtalkin tweens and teens.
by far the biggest reason why I never got a 360.

I've noticed more and more friends who were on the 360 coming over to the PS3. Mainly because of the big exclusives - Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War III. A couple of friends of mine either accept that their unit will RROD and have multiple 360's or they are getting tired of dealing with them and are converting to PS3. I think it is just a combination of these things causing momentum for the PS3.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

It could also be that all three of those games mentioned and the "PS3 douchbags" meeting to play them are the same, aforementioned, douchebags in all three threads...

I honestly think that has more to do with it, than trending a certain way or another. I think the Warhawk thread gathered us initially, but, for the most part, the core group, who post and play weekly, just enjoy playing with each other and talking trash. So on the off days, we continue that in those threads. So we spun off into another thread, which is not informative or helpful in any way, shape or form…

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

While that is partially true, it isn't entirely. The only people who play all three games are you, myself, and on rare occasion Cruz and Chew. Though recently it appears those two won't be active in all three games again. There are quite a few players who only play one or two of those three games with us.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

so, are you implying that you and I are the douche-bag glue that holds it all together?

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Douchebag glue or douchebag goo?

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I haven't read anything above me here, but I find my gaming partners elsewhere. Between the Signed In forums, 8BB, and TrueAchievements, I find enough people that are ready to play. I've tried many times to get things going here, but it always just falls apart (see the fact we've never got those Beatles sessions going).

As far as sharing news and discussion, I feel like I'm still here for that and putting forth the effort. But, overall it has died down a lot.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

speak for yourself.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I was very disappointed that the efforts to put together a RDR "360 Posse" were going strong until the game was actually released. :lol:

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I prefer 360's analog pads/trigger buttons over PS3's DS3. So I always buy 360's when it comes to 3rd party games.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I know, right? Larry and I got together that first night and a few others joined up. But I think a lot of people wanted to play the single player first.

I just use the "Gaming Sessions" over at TrueAchievements.com for stuff like that.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

the latter for sure Captain shmegma

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Having all three systems as well, I do most of my gaming on the 360 too. I think most of the games run smoother and I like the controller better too. I also like how you can see what others are playing as well (with the DVDtalk list). I leave most of my PS3 gaming for exclusive titles only and since it’s a launch unit I want it to last as long as possible. And since we moved the Wii to another room in the house, it actually gets powered on once in a while now too.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

Nothing changed here.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I figured that by the time I finished SP there would be a patch to make MP work for those of us who could never get it to connect. Since that didn't happen I sold that sucker and moved on. Would've liked to have at least tried the MP but no such luck.

I'm still a 360 stalwart for no good reason other than the fact that I prefer the controller. I own no games for the PS3 as the few exclusives I wanted to try never came down in price before I got sick of waiting. And the Wii is strictly for the kids as I can't stand the motion controllers which has me worried about the impending shift to Move and Kinect.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I'm still a mainly 360 guy and I own all three major consoles. I've only had one red ring in 4 years, but had two drives fail on me on the ps3 and I mainly only use it as a blu-ray player. I also really prefer the dashboard and controller on the 360.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

It's probably just a cyclical thing. The PS3 got kind of a boost last year due to the price drop (finally reaching the key $300 price point) and slim version. There may just be more people who bought a PS3 recently, and perhaps they're talking about it more because it's new to them.

In the end, it may even out.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I'm sure a group of 10 PS3 guys didn't just take over the forum.

These aren't the droids you're looking for. :D

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

The PS3 slim is pretty awesome. I like it.

Re: Is this forum moving from 360 to PS3?
 

I can't speak to the trend, but my interest in a PS3 has risen exponentially over the last year. I still don't own one, and I'm not sure I will any time soon (unless I can find one for the right price used), but I sure as shit want one. The PS3 seems to have some really great DLC games that I would love to try, as well as an ever growing list of exclusives that have my interest.

Sorry, I think you need a new pictures. That's supposed to be a green circle now. ;)
