Nice! I agree with a lot of things you said. First, I enjoy my PS3 more than my 360. If PSN had some of the same features as XBL, I will sell my 360. I only play my 360 when I have company, netflix, & download movies for the last four months. I play a little of 1 vs 100, now & then. For online community, I been call a n***** more online than in life. I'm not mad b/c they're kids & punks. I only use my headset for people that I know.

Same here I usually turn my headset on and mute unless I am playing with someone I know. I am this close to getting a 360 but something is still holding me back. The racism gets a little out of hand at times, even on PS3.

Racism is way worse on xbox man. I will get the normal CoD as I can't really justify spending around 100 bucks on some plastic night glasses :p

Lol yeah man I looked it up and I get get some cheap night vision goggles that are better than those for less than $100. I am still gonna get the game though if it really does live up to the hype.

i wish they would add game launching to home. Thats one of the reasons i dont use home it takes to long to launch a game i have to quit and wait for it to load. As for the nv goggles its a neat idea but how great will they work? Also having a universal invite system would be nice and some games have that but we need it for all of them! Modnation racers seems like it could be fun but how complex of a track can you make? Great show!

when i ask people what game they have played the most mario kart comes up 70 % of the time. home needs game launching sony needs to make a standard for games online on their system the christmas thing i dont know sony seems like they are doing what they need to sony is looking like if we come out with the ps4 well buy it so as long as they plan for 10 yrs .
i like the ps community because you get to meet people who are older and more mature. its easier to use than xbox live i love the xmb, party chat with six people via cams, home, ps store easy download the ablilty to switch between what your doing blu ray games etc.
These developers are trying to take short cuts and the 360 is hindering games because of 360. you have to make games equal or as close to equal as possible. its about money, thas why you get dev saying that they rather work with sony and create what they dream because their is so much potential . honestly the 360 is a ps2.5 and its making it so games arent bigger games are better their just in high def.

im tired of 360 M$ is screwing things up with there system not being able to do what the next gen is really about.developers arent pushing what tittles can do. take forza 3 on two disc if this was on ps3 the game would be on one disc and have alot more like 1000 cars, that shows you that games are limited bythe 360. we as gameers shouldn't have to be forced into games that are made to fit. Id rather pay extra bucks for games if the utilized the cell and blu-ray to the full potential.
360 is a joke and without live being the backbone it would have been crumbled. so in the same respect online is ruinin games and devlopment.
the best part about the stagnet part of the game industry now is that games will carry you threw these time.

back to why i'm advid against the 360 and this is my opinion i have owned 14 360's nuff said. i have one and im a true gamer so even games i cant stand like mass effect boring as hell ill play just so i know what the hell im talking about.

what would gta be like without 360 would you have all these extra downloads that M$ is ripping us off for. No
thats why companies are coming back to ps3 to make exclusives. (agent ) this game is supposed to have 2000 people on screen at once. according to rockstar this is what gta should have been . so that tells you right their that its about money and not what is possible or what gamers want.
also the ghostbusters thing is dumb the game doesnt look that diifferent it looks great on ps3 and sometime i think im watching a movie. true with the capabilities of the ps3 you should see a big difference. but gamers are so right now now a day. the ps2 didnt show its true potential till like its 7th year. maybe even 8th. the ps3 will be a force to be reckoned with soon enough. right now people are comfortable with the 360 and sony need to make them uncomfortable. with the games they got coming you can picture the hardest of hardcore M$ fans spending alot of time on their ps3.
Alot of 360 fans think the ps3 has failed, but this isn't the case and is no where near reality its already out did what the 2nd and 3rd place systems did last gen. once they get it out of their head that the ps3 is here to stay and you get bettter quality and more with the ps3 they will soon come over. people say they get 360 cause thats what thier friends got well what happens when your friends have to have drakes uncharted is your whole circle going to get the system .

i totally agree i dont care when the game comes out. push it back as long as possible to deliever a great game. also i have been saying that about killzone 2 from the start 20 player matches is best.
dont forget ps connectivity with gt and 3 modes world ralley is faster pace. psp go cant get night vision . but i want my night vision might just put off buying the game.

you are right these are the best game you can get for 15 bucks and thats the best about online. also thanks for the ipod the psp go will get apps.

xbox360 holding back 3rd party games the bluray thing
written by SoulKeeper26, July 20, 2009
i think its beacause if they make the game better on ps3 the 360 guys would get pissed off for ps3 having the better game even though i think they should do that make the ps3 version the best it could be.

"The racism gets a little out of hand at times, even on PS3."
There is no "Facts" as to which console indeed has the most racism, so the question becomes really just personal opinion and shouldn't be taken further then that. To amuse the question tho, in my personal experience I've witnessed more racism on the ps3 but it is only for one simple reason, when I play games on live 90% of the time I am in a party chat with friends and since I don't surround myself with racists I don't have to hear that bigotry. But when I play on PSN which in fact I played over a year of call of duty 4 on the system I heard a lot of racial slurs for the majority not out of hate but out of sheer ignorance which can equate to for the most part white males 13-18 who listen to rap and use the word carelessly because they hear it as much as the hear "helllo". Now thats not to say that all white males 13-18 who listen to rap are ignorrant and careless but thats the bigest ( that I see) logical reason that this madness is going on.

"360 is a joke and without live being the backbone it would have been crumbled."- keysey.
Whats the use of bashing a console? I didn't even read all of your post because that sentence struck out and I thought what kind of fool (who doesn't work for sony, nintendo or microsoft) would say such a useless thing. I allready wasted my time on that idiocracy by responding, so I will not go into anymore detail and disect your comment and show its faults.

"Is The 360 Hindering Third Party Development On The PS3?" All I can say dave is look at the new splinter cell and or alan wake wherein there you might find your answer. The hardware on both systems is quite similar and they have hardware that is equal (ram,outputs) and hardware that is better (ps3: processor. 360: graphics card). As for the optical media dvd is faster then bluray but bluray has more space, but because of the speed requires installs so thats a toss up to what types of games you want to play (RPG: bluray FPS: dvd).

Anyway been awhile since I`ve been to the site keep up the good work Dave and TGA staff.

Umm its pretty obvious that there is more racism on the xbox side as all xbox's come with a headset.

@ Spencer - Man I was talking about third party games, they are dumbed down in general exclusives always look better on both consoles over third party games and I want to know why. All 360 exclusives, as far as the big ones not scene it and all that, look very good I wasn't bashing the 360 as far as graphics just saying if they have blu ray why not use it.

@keysy420 - people have been saying just wait the ps3 is gonna ...... forever man, Sony is messing up right now no matter how many or what kind of exclusives they have coming they need to sell consoles. Update that firmware and add the features and drop the price and they will make some progress. Also make home better by having a trophy room, be able to talk to anyone again but be able to ignore or mute people too and at least have music streaming if not music and video streaming in your apartment. hell at least allow in game music so when u walk around u can listen to your own stuff. Sony is failing right now if they don't do something by christmas its curtains, 360 is doing to much right now and the Wii is so far ahead its getting ridiculous.
