Xbox gives you a FREE headset when you buy your console, does the Playstation 3? no, and Bluetooth headsets can sometimes be annoying e.g., you can lose them very easily you end up having to charge them every single day which can be frustrating, also how many times can you hear somebody echoing on PSN? or even hear their whole family talking because they have a cheep headset, yeah all the time.

I personally played on both consoles. They are both great systems, but both have their flaws. I can't say I like one more than the other.

Here's the PS3 exclusives:


PS3 has netflix too :mudkip:.

We also have an HD porn website. PS3._________.com (PM me for site)

I bought a PS3 and I plan to stick wit it can't be ****ed with spending money on a new console and more games. Only reason I would buy a 360 would be for some of the exclusives e.g. Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising.

The Low Key OG
still the same OG, but I've been low key
I have an xbox because of the exclusives.
There are just too many.

i WAS a die hard playstation fanboy Happy then i got the new xbox, and i can only say one word " WOW", xbox is totally different from ps3 in a good way, it makes the playstation seem "basic" (dont kill me Happy), i love the xbox, and i strongly recommend everyone to get it Smile

My rep is going to be like -400 after this because of fanboys... but its worth it LOL


i agree with some of your points like xbox exclusives are better, but the xbox free mic is horrible half the time you cant hear people or its muffled sound and falls apart after a couple of weeks you also need xbox gold to play online so yeh you can get "online" for free in theory but cant do anything worthwhile without paying for gold, you also points out all these things xbox can do, facebook ect ps3 does all those things and more due to its browser

and ofcourse party chat for xbox is nice, but apparently (very apparently since ps3 was released) that ps3 will get it "soon"

so in my opinion the only thing xbox has over ps3 is the exclusives and party chat(cross game chat)
