Cheers

gta 4's liberty city is pretty much a modern day new york with buildings like the empire state and things like that but no twin towers

What would be cool on GTA is if you could go inside most of the buildings, that would really add a new level to it I think. :thumbup:

Yeah but then it would take them like 10 years to make

It would be great though.

GTA cities are always like that.

Liberty City=NY
San Fierro= San Francisco
Los Santos= Los Angeles
Las Venturas= Las Vegas

With enough subtle differences to avoid legal problems

I've got both a PS3 and a 360, I'm not going to go into details for each with power etc.

360 - Love the controller, it's solid, and I know the controls having never owned a PS2 and only played the PS1 rarely. I particularly rate the 360 triggers over the ps3 ones.

I've had 3 ring of deaths on the 360 - and will not be buying anymore games for it - I'm on it's 3rd year - so when it goes next time, not if - but when, it will likely be outside the time M$ will fix it.

PS3 I've had no issues with. Love the blu-ray and the HD gaming using HDMI - certainly preferable than the system the older 360's have (360 Elite has HDMI). I love Burnout Paradise, haven't tried the 360 version to see if they are comparable.

Online - 360 has the right system - online games released weekly, though I find some are a waste - interface is very friendly, and way better than the PS3. Online gaming, I haven't played a lot - generally can't find anyone - and you have to pay.

PS3 - They don't accept my credit card, you can't buy a pre-pay card from EB or anywhere else, so I can't test their online games that you can buy - I own about 60 on the 360 can't even buy one on the PS3 - and I spend hours still playing the downloadable ones for the 360. Interface is very basic, and takes a bit to get use to, but gaming is free - networking was easy as it has a built in wi-fi system.

360 is partially backward compatible - but I don't own any of my old Xbox games.
PS3 the newer models are not - and I think that's a problem, as there is still a sparse amount of games for the PS3, and being able that you can buy cheap ps2 games, it's a real loss.

Some of the newer games are large - and the 360 is starting to suffer from the multi-disc scenario - and I think that's only going to get worse - especially since M$ have backed the rapidly losing HDD format. - Although of course that doesn't come standard anyway - so it wouldn't surprise me if they release a blu-ray one, but jeez they won't be happy.

I think (personally) 360 has reached it's pinnacle, it may stay there for a while, or it may not, but eventually the programmers are going to find better ways to utilise the ps3 processors, and then we're going to see if fall behind I believe.

Look for the next '360' sooner rather than later - 2/3 years - where as the ps3 could very well last 4/5 more.

My opinions - and really I'm not going to say one is better than the other, because there is a couple of years apart between them - and that's something everyone tends to forget.

i think i will probably get a xbox360 and jack it up with my monitor on my pc (19" 1440x900). Or i could just wait for the pc version to come out,and not have to worry about any of that (not to mention it would be easier to control, have better graphics, etc)

The PS3 will come out ahead of the 360 later on, when developers further appreciate the the greater power of the PS3.

by **yak52dude** » Thu May 01, 2008 12:19 pm

Ah you meant job? The B key is nowhere near the D key :lol:

But no, the Xbox 360 wasn't a rush job at all. It's just older, so the technology isn't as good.

I was only asking who uses an Xbox 360.

In my view they are c :swear:

p compared to PS3.

I own my PS3 and worked hard to get it.

Grand Turismo Works awesome with my plasma.
