Sony - PS3 - Losing 'it'?
- Thread starter The Boosh!
- Start date
uh i didnt? i said:
ive never directly owned an xbox, but used to religiously play halo with my brother (online and off), have played fallout3, gta3/4, COD4/5 etc on both consoles. even my brother recently says the ps3 is a much better console on the whole, and he's owned three of the things. i play on the xbox regularly, but again, IMO the ps3 is better for what i need it for.

i prefer the 360 controller for RPG/first person but the PS controller for racing.
lol, see I'm the opposite I have no major issue with the PS3 joypad for sandbox or FPS style games (the slight discomfort aside) but it really is useless for driving games thanks to the position of the joysticks, operation of them and the woefully inadequate triggers that have pitiful amount of travel and are poorly designed in terms of shape/size.
have you got a set of these turkish? (gioteck real triggers)
if not, get yourself a set

That still doesn't solve my other multiple issues with the dawn of time designed PS pad. Lets face it it should have had a proper rework by now or at very least a european/US spec joypad available for people with man sized hands. That layout was penned in an era when ergonomic was not applied to joypads.
yeah i see what your saying. ive just kinda played it for so long that it feels.....right now. i can play for hours and hours confortably and it feels fine.
wonder if there will ever be a redesign or if the actual fanboys will be too protective over their beloved controller lol?

A problem with a lot of the xbox fan boys is they are comparing the launch PS3 to the xbox rather than its current incarnation. The overwhelming consensus on any dedicated gaming forum you care to read is that the PS3 has had a better 2009 than the xbox. For reasons that very few on here know about and probably won't be arsed to find out!
No idea tbh. I spend years playing with that joypad on the ps1 and ps2 for countless hours and while fine at the time (compared to the competition that was about) it really needs a rework IMO. Games rely alot more heavily on the joysticks now and that pad is from a time when they were a new addition rather than the standard control method and it shows when using it, especially after spending any reasonable amount of time with a 360 pad.

Yes, i'm sure the 55% failure rate announced by M$, all with faults relating to poor material and overheating is due to people not treating them like high tec equipment.
Oh and the 360 isn't so 'hi-tec' when most Gaming PC's are more powerful !
Yes tbh its tiresome but again another thread bashing the ps3 by someone not as informed as they could be. You won't find many (any!) Threads started to slate the xbox as PS3 owners aren't that needy
Atari Jaguar one was s**t and so was the Dreamcast one
N64 controller I found a little bit awkward..mainly when you were using the axis controller, gripping the centre bit with your left hand and then needed to press the d buttons it was like "errr I need another hand"

Eh ? It wasn't bitchy I was just pointing out.. the PS3 and 360 aren't so hi-tec anymore..
although the fact that he is so deluded to believe that 1500-2500 consoles per day.. just in the UK.. all with the same faults.. is somehow related to how they are treated by their owners is laughable.
In my case the PS3 fan = part of the DOLBY surround sound, I could stand at an airshow and watch more silent fighter planes, lol.
If I have mine upstairs and stream a mooovie to it at night or something and turn it off, I can here the fan in there when its on standby. Never noticed it before but once I heard it there I always notice it now. It faint as f**k but just anooying.

Oh im not disputing that yours isn't noisy. Interestingly the 2 I repaired recently for Andy on here and my mate were quiet as anything yet mines newer :S
Having said that mine was quiter then the Jet Engined XBOX my mate lent me a couple of months back!
My missus even commented on how loud that was!
If you look at the sales figures, for both consoles and games, it is a fairly mixed picture really and not a lot separating the 2 formats. However, the attach rate of games is higher for 360s than PS3s, and also the amount of profit being generated (and exponentially growing) is massive. I own a 360 and personally love it for the online, fair enough you have to pay for (although only £23 from eBay) and also the controller.
I don't think the PS3 is losing it though, just look at the reception for Unchartered 2.
I think the depressing thing overall for gaming is that Wii Fit then went and knocked it off the top spot...
