Hey this is just a Pre-note:
I’m not looking for any trouble here , i am simply just stating what’s on my mind. I’m not going to say this console is better because it can blah blah im just saying looking back the 360 is as bad as many of you fan boys say it is. This discussion is mostly based around Blu – Ray

Here I go…

Something I read all the time

” Ps3 can play blu-ray movies, Xbox 3shitty can’t. Blu-ray is da bomb”

Believe it or not most people who play video games don’t care so much about being able to watch videos on their console ( i.e the wii ). It may be a PLUS but it’s never really a deciding factor because most people have dvd players already.

So if people don’t care about being able to watch regular DVD’s on their console why should they care about Blu ray movies? They cost more money any ways. It is the exact same movie just with a few added features which I’m not sure if the majority is dying for..If i’m not mistaken Blu ray goes up to 1080P right?

From my knowledge, when it comes to movie watching on Xbox 360 you can just get a Netflix account for about $10 a month, and *rent* as many movies as you want. I think they are coming up with Instant 1080P video streaming this year for 360 so that’s a plus for any movie fanatics. I personally would pay $10 a month to watch as many movies as I wanted in a month, instantly. I’m not sure If it’s going to be like Youtube where sometimes you watch a movie and it’s really choppy ( buffering). They might be able to surpass that because I know that on IGN ( I think) when I was watching E3 there was some sort of video player, you first downloaded some soft ware and you could watch continually without any buffering. I was actually surprised and wondered why I never saw this any where else. Bandwith *may* be an issue, and it *may* not be an issue.

The only plus I see with the Ps3 on this is owning the movie. How ever let’s use 17Again as an example. The blue ray disc cost $29.99 at Best Buy. Great you watch it you get to keep it, maybe watch it again? ( i personally don’t like watching movies twice) Now for $10 a month you could watch the same movie in the same 1080P viewing as many times as you wanted , and OTHER movies…all for $10 a month. If I wanted to watch Batman: Dark Knight , 17 Again, SipderMan 3, and Wall-E on BD it would cost me $60. ( let’s say at $15 each even) Or I can just watch all of them, maybe not own the physical disc, but watch all of them for $10.Theres a $50 price difference, I personally wouldn’t pay $50 more just to own movies on disc.

I hope you see what I’m saying. And you can do this on ALL 360 models out there right now. Yes, even the $199 Arcade models.

Now im not bashing any console here, im saying 360 deserves *some* credit.

Now in regards to games i can see why blu ray is a plus because of the 50GB storage games like MGS4 have great reviews from what i’ve read. Let’s clap for the Ps3 here. Xbox 360 uses Dvd9 which holds up to 9GB. We can already see that Blu Ray can hold 5 times more then DVD. You would think this is an edge for Ps3 games right now and that they’re would be more AAA games right now for the Ps3 because I mean you can do so much more with 50GB then you can do with 9GB. How ever the 360 also puts up a fight, and has more A,AA, and AAA then Ps3 ( but that includes Arcade games for 360 and PSN games for Ps3) Most of the time multi-platform games performed better on the 360 then on the Ps3.. I thought it would be the other way around.

A video i found of youtube says that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6HyGkImZuo. He is a fanboy though but he is stating factual stuff.

I think Ps3 has good games don’t get me wrong but when I see a power house like the Ps3 and then the xbox 360 and what It can do for what it has, you gotta give it *some credit*

I think the Ps3 does get an A+ for features, though some I think are stupid. ( I hear you can hook up a printer to your ps3…)

What are your views on this? Hopefully you can understand what I typed..I was sort of bored too so some stuff might not make sense..

Hopefully upcoming games are not let downs. Many Ps3 users say Killzone 2 was HIGHLY over-rated. The Ps3 is almost 3 years old now. The Ps3 really needs to shine by the end of this year and Q1/Q2 next year to really give it that big BOOM because as for now it actually ties ( or lacks) against some of the competition..

I guess im done.

what are you views for this? Best answer ( well written, factual, answer, with strong points) gets 11 points from me. Every one else with a decent answer can get a thumbs up
I think we also have to see it in the bigger scheme of things

Many Ps3 users use their Ps3 for watching movies ( mostly blu-ray). But how many GAMERS use their consoles for movies?(Xbox, Xbox 360,PlayStation 2)
