I'll give you this one.



My 4 year old daughter plays it fine. The only thing similar between the 2 is that they use motion. Other than that, they aren't even close. So to claim Kinect is a rip-off of Wii is a bit misinformed.

FTR, I am not anti-PS3. Just prefer the Xbox, and poking a little fun about having maps 30 days later than Xbox (if you wonder why that is, see point #1 above).

He was talking about the Move being a rip off of Wii. A point I readily shot down.

COD had an exclusive rights deal with XBox that Microsoft had to pay for to get the maps early. Big woop. I had an Xbox until within 2 weeks HD DVD lost and I got the RED RINGS OF DEATH. Changed to PS3 and never looked back.

LOL. I think I've heard it all now..

Xbox live costs money because it has "more and better players".. Wow.

Also, the interface is totally opinion based. I actually prefer Playstations XMB interface. Much cleaner/smoother scrolling and a lot easier to find what you're looking for.

The reason XBL servers cost money is pretty simple. XBL servers>PSN servers

Agreed.

In my opinion, Live is better than PSN, but I have people I play with on PSN, so I'm almost always on there. I like that it is free, however I do think Live is better slightly, but both are great services.

I own a kinect and have messed around with the Move, and I think kinect is better....Kinect > Move > Wii in my opinion.

As long as there are multiple systems coming out, I will continue to buy them all (not Wii-like systems, though...bought and sold that years ago).

I can't attest to the sports games, but fired up Black Ops last weekend on a friends and held close to a 2.00 all day on Live. In my opinion the Xbox controller is setup best for shooting and war games and the PS controller is best for sports games but it seems the competition is vice versa(assuming its better on Live because 2quick4u says so)

The argument that the "competition is better" on Live is just asinine. The shit people say to make one console seem better than the other is hilarious.

Dude, just about anywhere you read about it, people say Xbox has better competition hands down. I'm not trying to win an argument here. It's just the way it is.

Don't take it so damn serious. It's a video game.

IMO the reason could be the controller. I can't ever find the right button on 360. To me, the controller on PS3 is "easier" to use. I could see how competition would seem better if you couldn't navigate a controller as easy the hard core gamers.

You know what I mean. I suck at 360 because I'm not used to the controller.

I'm the same with PS3 now. I grew up on PS and think the Xbox controller beats the PS controller hands down. JMO.

The true difference is only in games where they are only on Xbox. Anyone who thinks COD is better on Xbox in comparison to PS3 is wrong. They use the same software for the most part and it is the same game. I have noticed a lot more cheating on the PS3 though but not enough to say that it is worth the money to pay for xbox live. Halo reach (although I hate the game) has a solid network and this is because it is funded and only on xbox. but the others are the same IMO.

I agree with first person shooters, but with sports games the PS controller is much better. I find it a lot harder to play COD on PS3 as I always hit the one bumber that throws grenades when I try to shoot.

The game itself is the same. We are referring to the online community. Anyone who thinks PSN>Live is wrong.
