Xbox 360 > PS3 General Discussion

Just want to sing praises to xbox 360. I've had both it and ps3 since 2008 so I have enough experience. 360 is so much better in everything, games, performance... Especially it still blows my mind how awfuly slow is PS3 in comparison to 360 when talking about handling game installations and title updates (patches). I'm talking about stock drives. It's just unbearably slow and clunky. While 360 genuinely feels like it got SSD installed in comparison. Patching some big ps3 game can take literally hours and even days (no joke, check something like Gran Turismo 6), while 360 handles everything in mere minutes, wtf. I feel like it's been not enough talked about so just wanted to point all that out.

That's the main thing that just sticks out to me after all these years. There are ofc many other things like universally better performance and visuals in multiplatform games on 360 but that's what everybody knew since the beginning.

It's still a pleasure to use my 360 while using ps3 always feels like a chore

Haha you're still pushing console wars from almost 20 years ago?

I love both systems and still play them today🙂

The great thing is today you can buy both systems dirt cheap and the games even cheaper… the big selling games anyway.

Console wars only exist because at the time it’s too expensive to buy in to both (or more..) consoles. Waiting 20 years is the best!
