PS3 or 360?

[ZeWarrior]

So do you just download it and replace the firmware with iXtreme?

Basically yeah, but it's not that simple... You'll need to open the 360 ( which is ridiculously difficult without this Internet kit thing apparently. ), Get the tool to flash the drive, etc... It takes quite a lot of work, but it's better than a modchip in the end.

OK and about the games, do you download them and put them on the 360 like a DS ROM, or do you have to burn it to a CD or something else?

You have to download them, and burn then to dual-layer DVDs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that if you have the newest iXtreme fw you have to use stealth backups which are 1 to 1 backups. Now, there are other firmwares with which you can use downloaded games but with those you won't be able to use LIVE.

If you like good games get xbox360.

If you like waiting for good games get PS3

Considering the PS3 currently has Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, R&CF:ToD, Folklore, UT3, Uncharted. I'd say it has plenty of games ATM with a lot more to come. But hey, it's your choice. Get what you want

Woops how could I forget R:FoM.

How big are the games?

How big are the games?

Like 7.5GB uncompressed, around 5.5GB compressed usually.

 

[DarkAura]

Holy cow I never knew they were that big, I thought maybe a GB or two max. Thanks for the info.

Their HD games... Even Wii games are over 4 gigs... You seriously expected them to be a gig or two?

I'm totally new to the console modding thing; so I basically know nothing.

Yeah they are fairly large and can be a pain to download from the web.

I highly suggest getting a Samsung DVD-ROM drive modded with Kreon firmware for your PC, you can then hire the games or borrow them from friends and rip them directly to your PC, no downloading required.

And that can be compatible with any mod, like iXtreme?

PS3 is a solid, secure entertainment system with modern features but is lacking in good games. It's online features are free. Games cannot be pirated on the PS3, yet.

360 is a poorly designed console that causes RRODs, but has the best library of games on any next gen system. It's online features require a subscription. Games can be pirated on it.

Multi platform games, on average, perform better on the 360 than they do on the PS3. This is down to lazy developers, rather than the PS3 being inferior hardware.

In future I expect PS3 games to improve and perform better. It's library of games shall also improve as more developers release their games on the machine.

Right now the machine to buy is the 360. Give the PS3 one to two years, and then I expect it will be a must buy system.

My thoughts,

Then again, I wouldn't touch a 360, check the Japanese engineers report on the hardware. Very bad design which will fail eventually. It has a high failure rate and everyone sold is faulty. I would go with a PS3. Like I say, your choice. I agree the 360 has the best library of games at the moment though.

Okay, that's perfect, I'm going to get my console in September, cuz right now there is a 'budget' problem, so I'm going to go with the PS3, by which that time should be hot on the market. Awesome.

Any good games right now?

Resistance: Fall of Man
COD4
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destructions
Warhawk
Motorstorm ( Don't knock it till you try it. )
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Assassin's Creed
Unreal Tournament 3
Heavenly Sword

Are all great games... There are more too but there are the only ones I remember by head.

Isn't Assassin's Creed really repetitive? And never heard of Drake's Fortune; what genre is that? And are there any good racing games on the PS3 like the GT series and can be fun with a wheel?

I just started playing Resistance at the weekend, I must say from the 4-5 levels I've played so far it is very mediocre, I was kind of expecting a bit more but it's fairly boring so far.

It's a launch game. Remember that. For a launch title it really is great. Compared to now it's pretty meh. I still like it a bit better than COD4 though.
