grue 1 #3 August 3, 2006 The PS3 isn't out yet, thus, how could it be better? Both systems will have strengths and weaknesses, and the serious gamers will buy both.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #12 August 4, 2006 The Xbox 360 is an incredible machine. I really have no complaints when it comes to the system. The games, so far, are a disapointment but I can understand why. I think microsoft hit the nail on the head when it comes to the gamer experience. I hear a lot of things about the PS3 which don't excite me. Price will be about $500 for a HDtv ready system. $400 for a non-HDtv system which is not upgradable. I thought $400 was too much for the 360. Also I hear games will cost $60 - $100 each. Most being $100 due to HDtv and blue ray technology. If I'm going to pay that much for a game it better blow my mind. The only thing I can imagine the PS3 having over the 360 is blue ray. Question is will the game makers be able to make good use of it?www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #14 August 4, 2006 Thought I should add something about the flaws of the 360. - Its very fragile. Its a computer so this should not come as a surprise. It would be a good idea to buy the extended warranty from the place you make the purchase since Microsoft's is only 3 months. - It has overheating issues. When it gets to hot it slows down and freezes. Microsoft offers a dual external fan for $20 which is well worth the price as I haven't had it freeze due to overheating since I installed one. For good measure I keep a house fan blowing on it when in use. - The wireless controllers eat up batteries like skydivers drink beer.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apollard24 0 #15 August 4, 2006 How long do you keep it on for it to overheat? I guess I dont leave mine on long enough to overheat. I will say that I do enjoy watching movies on it, much better than my dvd player.Breathe out so I can breathe you in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downwardspiral 0 #16 August 4, 2006 It depends on the game really. The harder the system has to work, the hotter it runs. If its an action packed game like Call of Duty 2 it can overheat in an hour especially if its not well ventilated. Compound that with hosting multiplayer online...sheeit. I've seen a friends system fry due to constantly hosting 20 person matches of COD2. Once I saw that I stopped hosting. I doubt it would overheat from a dvd.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #21 August 4, 2006 Gee I grew up playing video games AND playing outside. Its funny how not having to make a living affords you so much free time to have fun.
