ive been waiting so long for this......
since i bought ps3 i think its time to have a showdown between two giants
a showdown to see who is king.......
for the time being, just push aside the wii as it is mostly targeted at the family market
lets START....
1: GAMES
whats the reason for buying gaming consoles???.
its GAMES rite??, not hardware nor online play.
kebanayakan org after rockband showcase d icc mau membeli ps3 cuz they thot it is exclusive to ps3, emphasizing importance of good cool games in the next gen wars.
do u know how i know banyak org mahu beli??
they CALLED me up on my HP, inda ku tahu dari mana kah they got my number...
anyways.........
most of the games yg ada d xbox360 ada jua d ps3 (eg. oblivion, cod4, rock band)
lets take the average scores from metacritic.com
according to both of the all-time high scores
about 98% of the games yg ada for both systems scores slightly higher for the xbox 360.
here are the few.....
ps3
-ROCK BAND 92%
-THE ORANGE BOX 88%
-GUITAR HERO 3 83%
-RAINBOW 6: VEGAS 86%
this cud be because, it is more easier to make games currently for xbox 360 than for ps3,
many article quote this, the harder the development process may have effect on gameplay development.
also notice that most developers prefer to release on the xbox 360 first, this cud be the side-effect of microsoft releasing xbox 360 first ahead of ps3
a brilliant move i should say....
by the time sony came out with ps3, xbox 360 has worked out most kinks in its system, had more time to help developers work on the xbox 360, knowing which games work on the sysytem and a better hold on the market.
now..........
what about exclusive games between 2 systems?? (excluding PC & downloadable arcade games)
taking the top 5 all-time exclusive games high scores for both systems
xbox 360
-BIOSHOCK 96%
-GEARS OF WAR 94%
-HALO 3 94%
-MASS EFFECT 91%
-FORZA MOTORSPORT 2 90%
ps3
-RATCHET & CLANK 88%
-UNCHARTED 88%
-RESISTANCE 86%
-MOTORSTORM 84%
-WARHAWK 84%
-ROCK BAND 92%
-THE ORANGE BOX 88%
-GUITAR HERO 3 83%
-RAINBOW 6: VEGAS 86%

in this round u just gotta give it to xbox 360, but that doesnt mean the ps3 is completely out of the picture. a number of ps3 exclusive is on the way including the long awaited MGS4 is on the horizon. will that game be the KILLER??, time will tell....
2: ONLINE
u seriously gotta put this in
ONLINE gaming has changed the way we look at games.
most people think HI-DEF visuals is the bomb in this war...
my point of view??
no matter how gorgeous the graphics are, if this is not in the list.....
u r far from experiencing next gen......
ONLINE IS THE KILLER APP in this WAR
i believe that whomever has the better experience on their online services will win the war
would i give it to PS3 for the free online gaming??
not so.........
its TRUE, u gotta pay up for the xbox live services....
but seriously WORTH the price.
lets just concentrate on the inviting process......
xbox 360
u r for example playing COD4 online and saw ur fren online playing other game....
how do u invite ur fren???
easy
1) press the guide button
2) highlight desired fren to invite
3) press X
u r done..........
this procedure applies to all games
fyi, the xbox 360 uses the invite engine embedded on the system & NOT FROM THE GAME
PS3
seriously........
its complicated
it uses the invite engine embedded on the GAME itself.
so meaning to say, every inviting procedure is different depending on the game
i took a peek at WARHAWK, i tried inviting my frens and it took me awhile to understand the procedure.
from my understanding, if u wish to invite a fren to join ur WARHAWK session, u got to first ENSURE that ur fren is playing WARHAWK at that time too.
ONLY THEN U R ABLE TO INVITE.
if he is playing something else then it is impossible to invite.
i could see burnout paradise for the ps3 is going somewhere with the inviting procedure
lets just see how it goes.....
currently i gotta give this to XBOX 360 for its user friendly inviting procedure.
HOPEFULLY
“HOME” can fix this problem which is due to launch sometime this year
3: GRAPHICS
previously
i always sed that
"the xbox 360 punya graphics looks better than the ps3"
play BIOSHOCK for the xbox 360 and it says it all.
now how could that be?????
everybody knows the ps3 has the more superior hardware
it should be far better then the xbox 360 rite??
as what i stated previously
micosoft ani berakal brabiz people.....
with the head start, the 360 had time to master the graphics
BUT
after my recent encounter with UNCHARTED: DRAKES FORTUNE
it seriously BLOWS my eyes OUT.
i could safely say that in the GRAPHICS field the ps3 is currently on par with the xbox 360.
lets just hope other ps3 game developers could learn from UNCHARTED: DRAKES FORTUNE.
4: HARDWARE
from the specification details, the ps3 is the most powerful & reliable console compare to xbox 360 (360 technical problem info)
with NO RROD and other unknown hardware failures the PS3 SHINES elegantly on this field
here are “the easily made for typical bruneian to easily understand” comparing list
PS3 40GB SGD559
built in wifi
bluray player
xbox 360 premium 20GB SGD500
no wifi
no built in hd dvd
curently the ps3 is a bit more expensive than the xbox 360
cheap WHAT??!!
according to latest news, sony has managed to reduce the price of making the ps3 from SGD799 to SGD559.
this means they are becoming more affordable for potential customers
STILL AT A LOSS THOUGH
its true, the xbox 360 has a better warranty service plan but who gives a damn if u live in Brunei??
FINAL WORD.....
in this first year round??
the winner goes to XBOX 360
y??
its the games
every gr8 game yg keluar di ps3 ada jua di 360 with better scores
like graw2, guitar hero3, rock band....
rock band??
WAIT!!!
i take it back!!!
it goes to PS3
y???
it has REGION FREE GAMES
ROCK BAND is region free on the ps3 & region LOCKED on xbox 360
gara2 rock band ani tah i bought the ps3
FYI
ROCK BAND asia version debut for xbox 360 is currently TBC
speaking of rock band, i really love this game
they deserve to win most innovative game 2007
kalau boring main guitar u can play drums
boring sama drums u can alwez sing (dengan syarat suara LAWA)
paling menarik is playing online with anonymous ppl all over the globe
ada this one time i (wakil brunei, hehe) was on drums, 3 others from us (separate states) on guitars, bass and mic respectively
we were playing "welcome home by coheed & cambria"
we got 1,000,000++ points
siuk!!!!!
but after that i felt something was missing.........
i feel like not appreciated after achieving a million++
a quote just pops up in my head saying “ U ARE FAGS!!”
whats missing??........
ACHIEVEMENTS
unlike xbox 360 u feel welcomed
alum dapat achievemnt on something alum beranti
especially if ur fren achieves it and u haven't
most people think having achievements inda faedah
balum kana 2 org atu.....
it shows how HARDCORE u are
when ur fren got 1000 full gamescore points on a game u will seriously feel jealous mcm kan mahu jua
probably u wont understand but xbox 360 owners surely knows what im talking about
especially ReD S1X, he is an achievement FREAK!!!
ALL I CAN SAY FOR NOW ITS too early to say WHO is WINNING
masing2 ada pros & cons
ONE more YEAR i guess???
just keep in MIND that......
ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAMES......

Now that you mention that I'm an Achievement whore, I'm currently around 23315pts and counting with new old games I haven't played......
AND yeah, PS3 does deserve it here and since there won't be any copy games for the PS3 (for now), there will be guarantee that future games in Brunei will be piracy free.....(too soon to say does it......)
dont worry about acheivements! ada tu nanti, when HOME comes out. in fact, Uncharted has achievements already (1000 points), and i read whatever you unlock already will be integrated with home nanti (achivement trophies from uncharted will appear in your home!)
BruGamer is evolving....just look at us...
grog...the founder/tok ketua heheh and x360 experts (jan marah geng)
justin....our tech savvy and consoles experts (esp. on PS3 and Wii) :p
RedSiX....achievement whore (in a good way) :D siapa kn celen achievement nya dipersilakan mencelen :P right Red?
Hasher....our xbox360 technician (can fix RRoD for u....bh bila kn test premium ku lagi :P) ehehheh
JuLoRen....newcomer but active to the bone just like the admins :P and our most glamourous member....liat saja muanya ada dmana2 eheheheh......and taw most peps :D eheheheh...jn marah jul....krg kmi jual kang :P
and not forgetting other members yg actively involve in our events and 'party'....BruGamer appreciate it and we gave u stars (***) on ur LIVE gamertags here :p
...also other members yg actively involving and intereacting to guests and new frens who came along at our chatbox daily
....and me....just being loco as always and being ur frenly host :p and happily luv to host again and again kalaw inda involve those permit thingy watsoever.....
jgn marah ku post bout tis ah peps....sorry law tekasar bahasa or tesinggung or inda termention or terlupa....wassalammualaikum and happy gaming, cheers :D
still, i'd stick with X360 since they start the Achievement race but we'll see after GT5 comes out.....
And maybe soon Liqsilver and I will try to get best game guides compiled with images and stuff (kalau ada masa tuuu....)
masa ani kan ku cuba celen a singaporean - "The Reverend84 - 25315"
and the Red vs Blue member - "DGGeoff - 33868"
It's a long shot.....
go for it Red....be a representative for BruGamer or even for Brunei itself :D
baru ya 'maju permainan (games) untuk negara' ehehhehe
long time haven't wrote any comment, A'level is really taking away my life. soon i'll tambah gamescore ku coz inspiring bnr si red ni kpd ku (mcm gay saja) hehehe. we should create brugamer clan for COD4,GOW,halo3,rockband (cana??) and who should represent for football games(i don't mind trying out for this) n guitar hero?
'mcm gay...' hahahahhahah its so funny liq.....ahahahahahh
yup ReD is very inspiring but not all of us do spend all of our time on just games alone.....but nonetheless keep up the good work :D
.......................................
back to the main topic, good points (+), xbox360 comes wif bundle such as component cables (HD enable), free one month Gold membership, HDMI cable (for the elite) and most importantly 'headset'....no online gaming is worth so much without a headset....imagine playin' wif ur fren on Team Death Match but u cant communicate wif 'em.....how can u coordinate a team play?
downside (-) on ps3 (opposite of x360), composite cable only (WTF....at least if it comes wif component cable i'll forgive it), NO FREE HDMI (on a 1.3 HDMI ready version device?) coz it might increase cost and most importantly ....'no headset'......
lucky for me my sis from abroad bought me a ps2 socom headset and i've got the warhawk version which comes wif free bluetooth earpiece, if not, it'll suck to play 'free' online service without being able to 'communicate'....eventho' i've played only twice wif locals namely psyko_2000 (ehem2) and Sandmanz_76.....
.....u can use PS Eye as a mic to communicate as well if im not mistaken (or even ROCKBAND's mic)....but last time im playin' wif Sandmanz_76, since we're close friends, we have to 'really chat' on windows live on each other laptop to choose which server we're gonna play together.....that game was Resistance.....if i have to use the headset i have back then, he didnt have any so its still useless.......
.......so im saying, ps3 should've comes wif simplistic headset bundle wif its console just to justify its free online service, even a crappy design/looks headset as long as it wurx coz not all of us do own a (presumably handphone) bluetooth earpiece and not all of us have or even play SOCOM (wif headset) online
"buka pintu!"
buka pintu??, izzint that from uncharted, "tai kucing" tu eh.....
