About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6691 DaysBut 360 is nothing if it wasent for the games.
However, how are you gonna play the games if your 360 dies on you, freezes, scracthes your disc, gives disc error...etc.
Ever since I bought the Ps3 I kept liking it more and more, not saying 360 is bad, but it is sure as hell not good.
If Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2 and Too Human wasen't exclusive (mostly NG2) I would have sold my 360 after I bought the PS3 and get some cash to get some Blu-Ray movie, or PS3 games or just save them.

Since 6766 DaysNot only is it reasonably priced in comparison to the PS3 (Who ever put the price on the PS3 was a complete idiot) Its had a better collection of games, obviously, as it did come out way before.
Maybe if the PS3 wasn't a very ugly looking peice of plastic and was priced around the same as the 360, in my opinion it would have actually faired better.
I don't see much in the future for the PS3, especially since all these "exclusives" are slowly fading away.
Both consoles are pretty much identical, you could always see the difference between the PS + Dreamcast + N64 , PS2 + Xbox and whatever generations they were in, and they were never said to be "this gen" or whatever gen.
The better console is the cheaper one imo, and Sony can eff off if they think im paying £400 for a not really new console.
UFC 2009, Its going to be the best game ever.
Since 6818 DaysWill probably be the first time I buy a Sony console.
Since 6707 DaysMultiplatform games don't mean shit really, its the exclusives and as far as I can see PS3 still has MGS4, FF13 and GoW.
All of which are huge system sellers, add to that Killzone 2, Tekken 6, Little Big Planet & White Knight Story the future looks pretty good for the PS3 IMO.
Sure these games don't appeal to the PC/Nerd user base that the 360 might but I think the PS3 will strike a much better balance of diversity than the 360 (not that the 360 is bad).
There is no denying that price is crippling PS3 sales and will for sometime.
Another thing to note is that we as gamers, If our 360s break we get them fixed, but a casual gamer will just get fed up and lose respect for that produce and the company who makes it. (suddenly the PS3 with its higher price tag looks a lot more attractive)
I really didn't mind paying extra for the PS3 because I haven't even had the slightest hardware fault to date, you get what you pay for as the old addage goes.
Marumaro for the WIN !!
Since 6536 DaysKind of interesting to see how things have flipped. Based on the first 12 months of all products competing on the market at the same time the rank looks like this:

Xbox: 3,090k

Since 6818 DaysSony advertises their PS3 starting at $399 here, but of course we all know that's the gimp system.
I like it in the old days when the only difference was how many controllers/games came in the box.
Now, if you spend less, you are getting a worse system.
Console, I knew thee well but you are screwing me.
Since 6568 DaysStreet Fighter 4... Believe.

Since 6800 DaysIf you're not down with Disturbed, then FU! Thanks.
Since 6854 Days
Since 6229 DaysBecause the 360 and PC are very similar architectures, both run Microsoft platforms and there are good developer tools from microsoft for a unified development process, it's very likely that games for the 360 also appears on PC.
So talking that there are less 360 exclusives is just wrong. Gears of War, Bioshock etc. are as exclusive as any other PS3 exclusive. And there are lots of 360 games, many more than PS3 exclusives.
I mean, Sony is talking about KZ2 for years. Uncharted or Heavenly Sword were hyped as those system seller for the PS3. But sales for HS and Uncharted are a big disappointment. So when will those system seller come? Why should KZ2 be more a system seller than any other shooter like CoD4 or HALO 3.
Since 6768 DaysPS3 has something to offer
Wii has something to offer
the end.

Since 6824 DaysThe PS3 is a glorified DVD player.

Since 6824 DaysIt's the nature of the thread.. and I promised Phaethon I wouldn't lock it before things got exciting :P
Since 6692 DaysThough only one of those actually happened this year (and we were promised all three) I don't regret it at all but my PS3 sees very little love since I traded in Heavenly Sword save the odd burst of Super Stardust or a Blu-Ray movie.
I'm really interested in playing Everyday Shooter but for some reason it's not out here still. This part of PSN needs sorting out.
By and large though, my 2008 gaming will still be done on the 360 and I would recommend that platform to anyone who wants to play games. Hardware is now reliable, it's a bit cheaper, library is excellent, cross platform titles will not be any worse and first party this year is not an order of magnitude worse than the PS3 to swing it that way. Apart from Home, Little Big Planet and maybe Killzone 2 there is not a lot I'm personally looking forward to whereas my 360 list is in double figures.
It's not tosh to say these systems are relatively equivalent in power and that broadly, third party titles will play the same on both systems. That's reality and it makes for pretty comparable bits of hardware. At that juncture, other variables like price and first party releases for 08 come in to it so I don't see points of view in that regard invalid at all.

Since 6691 DaysBoth got great games, just depends on each individual what they are looking for and what they like, not who says what, that is what I went for and I did a good desicion.
I won't loose on exclusives and I will have fun on both of the worlds, so I dont care which is better or worst.
For me, both have good things and bad things, good games and bad games.
But one thing that I just decided is each multiplatform game that comes out, I am getting it on PS3. IF the graphics and the perfomance is VERY bad and shitty compared to 360 then I will switch, but if it runs good and looks good as a PS3 title, I have no problem.
And thats that...good bye :)
