Okay well here is my views on things (online gaming use)...
I own a Xbox 360 (since they came out) and used to own a PS3 (through redemption offer with a tv I purchased)...
Xbox 360 for AUSTRALIAN gamers will always be far better than PS3... Because of the simple fact that Xbox live requires a $$$ subscription and PS3 doesn't, the locale searching function in most popular games with the 360 allows you to play with Australians (no lag) rather than jumping around the place in Kill zone etc with the PS3. This is because 360 offers (through the money subscription you pay) the constant regional server upgrades, which makes a humongous difference in online gaming. When looking at 360 vs PS3, you simply can't go past a 360 for online gaming, it is pure FACT...
People get sucked in by reading reviews etc. though all these reviews are done in the US where there isn't any lag whats so ever as all game servers will be biased for an American host (PS3 in Kill zone 1 American took host from 10 Aussies in the game).
Other PS3 vs 360 debates such as what hardware is better etc etc. From what I've read it doesn't come down to the hardware of the console though comes down too the graphic engine of the actual game. Games are only going to progress and this is all happening through game development not hardware development... Simply look at games that came out years ago on the 360 and look at games that have come out now (still running the same hardware). 360 has always had the upper hand with developers as the console itself came out 6-12 months (not sure) before the PS3 did...
As for graphics, hrmmm... Playing Modern Warfare 2 on both the 360 and PS3 (blu ray) on a 42 inch LED Samsung in all honesty the 360 looks better...
Anyways that's my little fit...
Ohh ye I also sold my PS3 second hand on eBay as the only reason I thought to keep it was for Gran Turismo, and whilst comparing Gran Turismo to Forza motorsports at the time I got GT. Forza was and ALWAYS will be FAR more superior that GT...
But yes...
I've played 360 since it came out, I only play with a modded console so I have a gazzilion games...
I am more into clan competitive games such as Gears of War 1/2, Call of Duty 4/5/6, Forza Motorsport...
Back about 2 yrs ago (Xbox addicted, about 12hours a day) I and my clan got invited for the regional championships for Gears of War 1 at Luna Park, we placed 2nd and didn't win the trip to Seattle (where the worlds were held), I think Australia placed 3rd in that competition...
I have played over 60 days in game play amongst 3 gamer tags in all Call of Duty games (4,5,6) all 10th prestige...
My best killstreak is 82 (I think around there) which was done in demolition lol...
My gamertag is - III WD40 III
I haven't played any clan competitive games for a while except Forza as I have banned myself from playing them as I get addicted and I will turn into a fat f u c k again sitting down on a beanbag for 12hrs + a day...
I do play them here and there though I think Iv'e lost my skill big time as with games you need to play them consistently and for long periods...
When I look back and think about the time I wasted on games and if I spent that time eating well and training I think I would be the next Ronnie Coleman... lol I was a damn big geek.
And yes this is the conclusion of my essay!
