Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity hacked

Sony says personal data and perhaps credit card information were stolen from tens of millions of users of its online game and movie service, as well as its on-demand digital music service.

Not so much for the likes of Playstation fanboyz.. ehh..

[thetechfreak]

Proabably its a revenge job by hackers coz Sony threatened banning Hacked PS3 firmware for life from PSN

Wrong!!
First the consoles will be announced before 2-3 years of its release.As of now neither franchise has announced its Next Gen Console so you cant expect any console till 2015 at the latest due to move and Kinect.

PS3 Exclusives impossible on 360 and PS3 getting stronger:

This is totally wrong.PS3 exclusives are said impossible only for better sales and due to no space while it is evident in the upcoming game LA.Noire how to counter that con of 360 since the game is composed of 3 Disks

PS3 has a better CPU ie Cell Broad Band Engine which can even do Graphics processing and rendering.If full graphics processing is done on Cell the games dont look as good as texture detailing is little low in the cell and due to its Complex Architecture developers find it difficult to design games.

Why some games look better on 360 whilst some other look better on PS3 ?
If the games are designed to use more of the Gpu rather than Cpu then the games look better on PC and 360.If it uses more Cpu PS3 is the winner.

Well 360 even now has releases that are on the making and matches graphics level that of PS3 exclusives:
Gears Of War 3
Halo Combat Evolved
Metal Gear Solid Rising
Forza MotorSport 4
KingDoms {Kinect Game}
La.Noire
Mass Effect 3

Even though some of the games i mentioned are multiplatform it levels or performs better than the graphics of PS3

Kinect or Move ?

Kinect
For Casual Gamers
Great Fun

Move
For Hardcore Gamers
Fun but some ppl consider it as meh !

Well it isnt the consoles but the developers who decide the graphics.Sony's developers are better than the developers of Microsoft.

Sales:

PS3 : 50 Million
XBOX 360 : 54 Million

Kinect : 12 Million
Move : 4.1 Million

Best Selling Games Of All Time :
360 - Halo 3 - 8.1 Million
PS3 - Grand Turismo 5 - 6.3 Million

I see some guys in the forums ponder about RROD in 360
RROD is fixed in models after Jasper Chip version

BTW PS3 slim has YLOD Yellow Light Of Death accounting for 5% Failure
XBOX 360 Slim has RDOD which occurs when you run the console totally unventilated and has accounted for 5% Failures

[novas242001]

Well, I'm lazy. I don't want to move around. So, I don't need Kinect or Move.

[sygeek]

I don't support any of the consoles as of yet. Why? It's been almost 5 years of their reign and they are just getting outdated, we need something new.

Show me a game of uncharted's calibre in the 360?

I always wanted to play Gears of war 2 and the upcoming 3.

[Renny]

Whic is the best looking PS3 and 360 game upto now?

[Rohan_B]

On Playstation 3 it has to go to Uncharted 2 or God Of War! (All PS3 Exclusives look awesome BTW!) I dont know about Xbox though. Probably an exclusive like Gears of War or Alan Wake.

Heavy rain. Its a love it or hate it type of game. No intermediates.

[Rohan_B]

@Sarath Read your PS3 vs Pc comparison! Loved It!

A little offtopic here but thanks


So any better games out there in the consoles?

Am I the only one who has played Heavy Rain.

[comp@ddict]

I think both Consoles have their pros and cons and both are great devices, you can't put either as best.

Uncanny valley, played it in friends house, felt weird, looked good but weird.

[vickybat]

Ps3 has an edge in terms of overall content or rather exclusive content. They have the most 1st party studios under their monicker. Xbox 360 has far fewer exclusives compared to the ps3 and its the only console to do 3d.

[ico]

For every Uncharted on PS3, there is Super Meat Boy on Xbox 360.

No console has any sort of "overall" edge. A real gamer would rather have both of them.

[vickybat]

^^Yes no doubt there are good exclusives for xbox360 as well like gears,halo,alanwake, forza and currently the kinect controller really is drawing attention.

I am a huge fan of gears of war and god of war alike. So given a chance, i would like to buy both consoles.

Btw buddy how is super meat boy? Is it good enough like braid and worthy?

[ico]

SMB is available for PC too, btw. What I meant is, XBLA gets really good arcade games.

SMB = GOTY 2010 for me.

[vickybat]

^^ Ok will give it a try then.The reviews are really good. Hope its as good as braid.

[tkin]

I voted for X360, the controller is more comfortable and also I want to play Gears of War 2/3 badly.

[Sarath]

^^^ Is it for the D-Pad placement you say that or the overall controller?

[tkin]

^^^ Is it for the D-Pad placement you say that or the overall controller?

The left stick and dpad both, in ps3 both the sticks are at same level but x360's left stick placement feels more natural to hold, just my opinion though.

Plus the two triggers at front, better than ps3 controller buttons.

[Sarath]

Had this controller for 10years now. If they change it, I would revolt. I guess everyones happy with their controllers.

The most insane one I have used is the Nintendo Gamecube. Try it. It has buttons in places you would't imagine. But it was still fun to use.

[tech.2011]

I always go with X box..... i cannot forget how enjoyed with it a few years ago

You mean you had both and you chose the xbox?

Nope Both the XBOX 360 and PS3 do 3D , not PS3 alone.

PS:1st Post in the Forums

[vickybat]

^^ Well when i posted that, it wasn't doing 3d. Now it does.

[CommanderShawnzer]

have people forgotten about the PSN HACKER BREAK-IN?,stop spamming abt RROD'S thats a thing of the past.u cant compare mass effect titles on an xbox 360 to a ps3
mass effect 2 on ps3 had horrible glitches and savefile corruption
mass effect 3 for xbox 360 is marketed with "the better with kinect tag" and does not have a PS MOVE counterpart
xbox 360 ppl can rest in peace coz xbox live isnt hacked till date
xbox 360 controller is much more ergonomically designed and its thumbsticks dont feel like they will fall off
xbox 360 exclusives : gears of war series, halo series,ninja gaiden II,crackdown series,Fable series,mass effect(the first and the best)

Show me a game of uncharted's calibre in the 360?

GEARS OF WAR 3 !!!!!and xbox 360 gets most dlc first
