    the situation of sony doing ANYTHING good with software is nonexistant if you remember that hacking problem they had a while ago. oh how we xbox players laughed and laughed that day. good luck sony and i hope you dont fuck it up because the retarded half of gamers still buy your crapy software XD

    I rememeber when Mircosoft had a little problem with their hardware call the red ring of death, which last for a few years if I remember correctly.

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 2, 2012 4:08 p.m.

    whats that i hear? yellow light of death? yes thats right. dont even challenge me if you dont have your facts straight.

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 2, 2012 4:10 p.m.

    because microsoft havent had problems and at least they give a good service. the ps3 is just for cheapskates who havent got a proper job and cant afford it. you are wrong because microsoft make games computers consoles phones and lots more sony dont make much. microsoft can easily come up with new ideas.

    haha so you insult playing video games on a video game website? grow up and get a job instead of listening to rap music.

  • Cyberninja - July 2, 2012 5:15 p.m.

    Ok, I realized trying to engage you in intelligent discussion is pointless if you are going to try to ignore mircosoft's problems when they were widespread and common knowellege.

    Yea I can't hold back... Cap'n, not only do you sound like an idiot off the bat, your terrible grammar and twisted logic make it worse. Just know that no one here (with common sense anyway) takes your opinions to heart, and in the end you are nothing more than a joke... Or in this case, a vessel for my rage, to break it down further for you, you are now My bitch. Now! Your first comment, going on about Sony's software issues. That is kinda laughable, considering that when Sony and outside developers create a game with the playstation as the base console, they blow the Xbox into waters where it can't tread. Xbox has hit a wall, sad but true. And before you call me on it, I know that when it comes to cross platform games Xbox takes the cake, and that is because it is a more familiar console to work with. So... Stonewalled there. The hacking problem? Well, this is a short one... Remember those few times 360 got hacked? And that one time PSN did? On that topic, remember when Sony gave everyone free games and content? Sorry, but once again you're a fool with a shitty argument. Lastly, judging by the way to type, I can only imagine how bloody annoying your voice would be, let alone you in person... so PLEASE stay on your 360, I don't think my brain could take it if I had to listen to you online. I have a headache just from reading your comments. Fuck, when GR went downhill they really attracted some winners... (That last bit was sarcasm, Captain... Just in case you missed it)

    the YLOD was no where in comparison to the RROD.... it was so bad to the point the Microsoft gave everyone 2-year warranty for their 360 and all they really did was swap out your 360 for another refurb. I know many people and friends who have gone through about 5-6 360's. I've gone through 3 myself and I'm still on my 1st Fat PS3. And don't say that MS has great customer service..they just had no choice but to give people the free warranty because I remember calling them like crazy before they decided to fix it for free.

  • Gex4212 - July 2, 2012 7:25 p.m.

    lots more than Sony ? Sony is an Electronics conglomerate. They range from Phones to PCs. Televesions to Entertainment systems. They even have their own battery line for godsakes. Any electronic gadget you can think of Sony has a line of products for it. I'm not a fanboy but I just want to state the facts =X I love my 360 but I think it running on fumes the past few years

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 3, 2012 2:07 a.m.

    intelligent discussion on the internet is nonexistent you can only do it face to face. and i would destroy you. anyway you neglected to mention the ylod so go cry somewhere else

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 3, 2012 2:31 a.m.

    whines about grammar and makes a mistake in his first word XD Im sorry but english is not my first language so its pretty tough sometimes. anyway onto the holes in your statement- psn hacked more times than xbox if people didnt take my opinions to heart they would not comment xbox having more cross platform games works in my favour you get a headache from reading my comments... and you still read my comments... schooled by a 'bitch' :)

  • HorriBliss - July 3, 2012 4:32 a.m.

    I just told you about the hacking problems that Microsoft had so how does that classify as: "microsoft havent had problems"? Are you thick, an idiot, or just choose to ignore facts that don't agree with your mindset? PS3 is for "cheapskates who havent got a proper job", oh God, I'm not going to even bother with that ridiculous statement - if you honestly believe that statemenet then there's no point in even continuing this discussion, or else you're just a blind follower (I can't tell) And Sony have been making phones BEFORE Microsoft you donut. They also have a more diverse product ranget than Microsoft too; in fact, you've just proven how much of an idiot you are, I don't need to continue.

  • xx_CaPTiiN_SpAiiN_zz - July 3, 2012 6:08 a.m.

    THERE WE GO. you ignore my point because it completely destroys yours and weve accepted that people only buy the ps3 for its cheap online and a couple of exclusive games. microsoft make more money AND have sold more xboxes and that shows you that it speaks for itself. also ill repeat myself about microsoft not having problems because whatever hacks where experienced were nothing significant obviously epsicially compared to the ps3. get your facts straight before challenging me. i win this little conversation.

  • Moondoggie1157 - July 3, 2012 6:29 a.m.

    Schooled? There was nothing behind your points... I mean, really? Dude, that was weak. Why do I even bother...

  • Tjwoods18 - July 3, 2012 8:02 a.m.

    Read my words! I insult paying an ONLINE fee in order to play video game. It is an unneccessary expense fee on microsofts point, just to sqeeze additional revenue out of its consumers. Rap music is gay, so why in the hell would I listen to that? Try to know somebody before you make idiotic statments about them.

  • Tjwoods18 - July 3, 2012 8:08 a.m.

    Get your facts straight is more like it. With the first iterations of the ps3 and 360 to whom had the larger failure rate? According to a game informer survey in 2009, 54% of all 360 failed due to the RROD while 10.6% of ps3's failed to the YOLD and other problems. Shave that unibrow, present better facts, and lose the attitude and people would not dislike you.

  • ParagonT - July 3, 2012 11:54 a.m.

    Now now, we need to calm down here guys. Lets drop the name calling and be adult about this. The bigger question is; who cares?

  • HorriBliss - July 3, 2012 1:15 p.m.

    What was your point? That Microsoft have a better service? Show me some objective, third-party research and I'll believe you - oh, what's that? You don't have any, oh yeah, that's because that was your OPINION, hence why I ignored it. Focus on facts during discussions, and try not to let your emotions run wild. I had a reply with refutations that would negate your argument, but I've no reason to continue a discussion with someone as immature as you: "i win this little conversation". Learn to act your age, mate. Enjoy your day for now.

    Oh, I love this. When people fall hook, line and sinker for a little troll. 'in fact, you've just proven how much of an idiot you are, I don't need to continue.' >continues I couldn't resist.

  • Redix01 - July 3, 2012 9:51 p.m.

    i have had a ps1 broke, 2 ps2 both broke. Then i thought it would be a good idea to change sides since all Sony's stuff seemed to break. So I bought an Xbox it didn't break so i bought a 360. I had 3 got, which is one reason why 360 sold more. I got rid of the 3rd one after it got hacked and they used my credit card to buy shit that i didn't buy. I now have a ps3 i do miss playing gears but thats about it and it hasn't gave me any problems. And i am pretty sure the wii out sold both. And there is a real possibility that 360 will not be able to be sold much longer in the USA. Due to a big lawsuit between Motorola (aka Google owns them) and Microsoft breaking the law and using copyrighted stuff. Already happened in one country no more imports they are all made in China.

  • HorriBliss - July 4, 2012 1:41 a.m.
