If you own both - what do you use more? Xbox or PS3?

Bengaboy · 24 Mar 2013 at 18:38

I have both.

I had a PS3 when MGS4 came out - was pretty much the only game I only played. Others was Uncharted which I enjoyed and a good portion of the 1st Resistance - didnt really think much of it.

I have had a Xbox since release - had a lot of use out of it. Most of my friends use xbox - so the online experience is a hell of a lot better.

Recently my PS3 has been gathering dust. I bought Heavy Rain and played a bit of that, which was sometime last year - going to give it another bash at some point. But I have been using my PS3 more for media purposes, such as watching Broadwalk Empire - it is a lot better for this purpose.

So this is not to initiate a console war - just a question of what do you use more?

Bengaboy Bonus Question - With PSN+ - if you download a game that isnt available anymore, can you still play it if you have it downloaded? Or does it not allow you to play it when it has disappeared of PSN?

well the ps3 should be used more as its a BR player as well

Jase · 24 Mar 2013 at 18:58

I use my PS3 more because I know more people who play on that. Also there tends to be more/better exclusives on the PS3.

That said I've been using my Xbox recently for Gears of War and used it a fair bit for Forza and Halo 4 when they came out.

This will lead to a I use the xbox because of the controller thread though...

PS3. In fact, I've only ever played two games on my 360.

jamesy505 · 24 Mar 2013 at 19:03

I only use my PS3 for watching Blu-Ray movies. All other media works faster on my Xbox.

I only buy Xbox 360 games, only game i've ever bought for my PS3 was MGS4.

Oh, and the controller.......

Xbox. Mainly because it is what I have CoD on.

I do have a large collection of ps3 games to play though but always choose CoD.

:rolleyes:

Yungstar 2006 · 24 Mar 2013 at 19:45

use 360 mostly with PS3 getting switched on for a few days each month to see what's new on PS+

ZXSpectrum · 24 Mar 2013 at 19:45

I have both, I use the ps3 daily and the 360 has probably had less than 10 hours use. It gets so little use that it hasn't even had last years dash upgrade!

ps3, only to play gt5 on every couple of months or so,

xbox hasn't been on in over a year

steveo · 24 Mar 2013 at 20:00

PS3 For media and the odd game like uncharted or god of war

xbox for all games like bf3 and cod

Monkeh · 24 Mar 2013 at 20:26

PS3, can't play WipeoutHD on the Xbox or watch Bluray or play any of my free PSN+ games

Gilbert89 · 24 Mar 2013 at 21:32

Xbox 360 for me, All my mates are on there.

james.miller · 24 Mar 2013 at 21:36

ps3. Mostly because my 360 is hosed, but also because i still watch the occasional bluray on it.

Streeteh · 25 Mar 2013 at 06:30

PS3. I play all my multiplats on the PC leaving the 360 with the occasional Halo or Gears game.

Nimdok · 25 Mar 2013 at 09:41

My 360 rarely gets touched these days, it just doesn't really get many exclusives compared to the other platforms (and I'm getting bored of Gears of War and Halo, give me a new Fable already that doesn't stink of Kinect gimmickry). 90% of my friends play on Xbox and I used to get multiplatform multiplayer games on it to play with them, but these days I tend to get the multiplatform releases on PC or PS3 depending on what kind of game it is. But with the PS3 getting so many exclusives, and a hell of a lot more appealing games (to me) as well as it being used as my Media Server and Blu-ray player, I don't really find a use for my 360. The whole paying for Gold to be able to voice chat with friends and play online puts me off it even more, especially since you get a smattering of great games from Sony for the same price with PS+. I just feel ripped off

I've owned both for a while and almost exclusively only used to use my xbox. Since PS+ my gold subscription has run out and my 360 is gathering dust.

umboma · 25 Mar 2013 at 14:03

I have both but I mostly use the PC.

HecFam · 25 Mar 2013 at 14:06

I only really have a PS3 for uncharted and over PS2 games (Phat Ps3).

I play my xbox a lot more, for fifa and black ops.

But i play the most on my PC. If i want a social game, i play xbox, otherwise PC.

Morba · 25 Mar 2013 at 14:44

My 360 came out of hiding for the first time in ages this weekend when I took delivery of Black Ops 2. Was unable to change it to a PS3 version so accepted it regardless and took the behemoth out of its hiding place and was swiftly reminded why it was put away - the damn thing is so bloody noisy!

Chronictank · 25 Mar 2013 at 15:10

PS3 due to exclusives, not turned my xbox on for some time (subs ran out about 6 months ago)
