i need an advice, what will i get? PS3 or this XBOX elite? and what does ELITE mean? tska wala na bang sira ito yung 3 red lines ba un? im planning to buy a new console simply because im a fan of games, ako yung tipong mahilig mag online games at makipaglaban sa mga tiga ibang bansa, can you give me tips?
my honest answer is GET BOTH kasi merong exclusivity clause pa rin on some games but if you can oly pic one here are some questions you can ask yourself
1) am i willing to shell our $$$/Php for original games or do i wish to condone piracy?
No pirated/fake/bootleg games in the PS3 so those who wish to spend hard earned money on the Deebeedee, Deebeedee go xbox since 360 games have pirated copies... but if you plan to go modded do not join pinoyxbox.com since they frown upon anything thats not original
if your prefer to have orig games for the PS3 or XBOX360 join Pinoyps.com or Pinoyxbox.com since they allow game trading in the site
im not saying all xbox owners went xbox for pirated games since its a choice, one can still have an xbox and not have it modded
2) am i willing to shell out $$$/Php to play online or do i want free online gaming?
paying to play $49/year online also entailes the risk of getting banned on XBOX live if you choose to condone piracy and have your xbox DVD modded or Modchip installed, but free online gaming on PSN network will soon end since SONY plans to introduce Payed Subscriptions to PSN for "exclusive" quirks
3) do i want to watch Bluray Movies or Upconverted DVDs
true HD is with Bluray but DVDs can be upconverted to play to 1080p so you "its like" watching BRd movies in upscaled 1080p
4) do i want to put a lot of HD vids/movies, pics, music, game files, game demos on my console
the xbox HDD is at a 250gb max(if you get the CoD bundle at $399) so if you want to put a lot of stuff your only option is an external HDD formatted byt the FW since it needs to be FAT32 and we all know fat32 cant go above 80gb so the console has to be the one to make the clusters to be FAT32 but above 80gb, the PS3 can also use external HDD but its internal 2.5" HDD also at 250gb for the $350 gb price but its better to get a $299 120gb and upgrade it yourself since you can go up to 640gb with WD Scorpio blue
i have an external 750gb Seagate Freeagent desk but its my PC storage so i prefer having the PS3 to have its own mass storage
5) do i want wireless built in or shell out $79/$99 for a WiFi N Adapter?
PS3 has built in WiFi G while XBOX has a WiFI adapter you can buy for some extra bucks
6) do i want controllers that have external battery packs?
PS3 has the battery inside the controllers so to get the battery pack replaced you can do it yourself or have sony do it for you for a fee or just buy a new one, 360 controllers can on 2 AAs, 2 rechargable AAs or on the battery packs you can buy
as or the 3RL(3 Red Lights hehe not lines) the jasper units seem to have the current lowest % of all xbox 360 models, so its not a guarantee you will be safe since there have been reported incidents of the jaspers, its a bit of a risk you have to take if you want to go xbox, MS does offer 3yr warranty to the 3RL for original unmodded xboxs but i dont think the philippines has xbox support
PS3 or XBOX360 wala pa ring tatalo sa nagiingat at nagaalaga ng console, wag abushin at patakbuhin ng walang pahinga, keep it well ventilated and well cooled down, heres a tip AFTER playing dnt turn off ur unit and let it cool for about 10 mins, kasi pag natapos ka sa game then take the game out and shut it off yung init naiiwan sa loob, let you console have enough time to cooldown
