The Wolf Said Poofy said:Im reffering to that fact that a big bulk of the first xbox 360's in the market were affected by the red ring of death syndrome, it really affected the system for quite some time, an it was indeed made into a laughing stock in the gaming world, videos in youtube on how to fix your xbox were made, and also videos ridiculing the poor manufacturing in many of the consoles.
It was a big controversy for sometime, and a laughing stock for many, that microsoft could fail so badly with the manufacturing of consoles, people were scared of buying one, freightened that it might break down.
They have since resolved that, but it was a chapter in it's history. You totally ignored that and gave me a history lesson on its effect on online gaming, no one denies that.

I've simply had a variety of problems with the 360...
1. I have to pay a monthly subscription to play online.
2. I have to deal with the horrible hud.
3. I have have to deal with the crappy manufacturing of xbox headsets and controllers.
4. I have had to deal with mexicans insulting me and children ruining my games.
Now the ps3...
1. You dont have to pay a subscription.
2. I like the HUD
3. I dont have one but i doubt the manufacturing of the accessories it comes with are as cheap as xbox's
4. The fact that 10-15 million more people in america and countries surrounding own xbox more than ps3 gives me the idea that the overall amount of mexicans and small childrens whos parents were to cheap to buy the ps3 would lower in percentage.
Top that off with the fact that favorites such as the god of war series, and metal gear are on playstation ( metal gear apparently coming to xbox and ps3 with 2 games ) and that most of the games i play like rockstar games, and fifa games are available for the ps3, and i care very little about the xbox's exclusives...
Obviously give me a tendency toward owning a ps3.
On top of that i could play many old playstation games through the store that i cant on xbox.
Its my personal feeling.
Also the big love for halo, i HATE...they did this one thing where the dashboard was filled with a counter, i couldnt careless for the dam thing.
Other than gears of war and halo, what huge exclusive titles does the xbox have i personally cant possibly skip? Id be happy to play uncharted and god of war, and mgs 4, the ps3 also has a blue ray drive, and comes with rechargable controllers apparently, something that xbox doesnt for the sake of making you buy a rechargable controller.
Wouldnt surprise me if during an extended period of time, maintaining the xbox accesories and services supersedes the prices needed to own a ps3..
Too lazy to make the quote less gigantic. Thought you meant the original xbox. To be fair the market for ps3 has had the same issues, but also has had multiple hacks where peoples credit card information has been stolen and used to purchase things in their names. I dont enjoy paying a whopping 4$ a month, but the game availability makes it worthwhile. As far as blu rays go, learn to pirate bay, they have bluray rips i put on my flashdrives....
Mexicans and children insulting you? Ahh, a ps3 gamer because you're more casual than on for a good laugh. If children and mexicans are making fun of you, the game is probably old and you are probably horrible, that isn't the xbox's fault. Ps3 is more friendly? Great. 360 is full of douches like me, crayo, and From. We can agree to disagree, both have their positives (as i owned a ps3 specifically for MLB the show) and both have some serious negatives. The real shame, is there is no 3rd system to compare (fuck you wii users) the giant sony and microsoft companies too. I miss you, sega.
