Gamers By Nature: Three negative things about each console

Gamers by Nature writes: "We bought our consoles. We love them a lot. Some, maybe love them too much and strike down any form of attack on their console, like this article. But I DO hope you guys that have read this far are mature enough to handle a little criticism. Because no matter what you have, you know there’s at least a little something that you want to change!"

Why would I wanna play with a 360 USB controller..?

[lugia 4000]

to not buy batteries.

[ShinMaster]

Well on the PS3, as the article was stating.

[BakedGoods]

They forgot one thing: no good upcoming 360 games (outside of Reach).

[Active Reload]

I don't agree with...90% of those, maybe even 95%. One glaring issue would be the Wii complaints. I have access to HD consoles, so for the Wii not to have those types of graphics doen't totally bother me. But I do think Nintendo should add an achievement system. Me PERSONALLY, I feel like I'm not getting a full value of a game if it doesn't have this feature. This is MY OPINION...

"why would i want to play with a 360 controller on ps3?"

if i have been using the dualshock since it RELEASED on playstation systems and like the layout.....just....please.this is a dumb negative.

custom dynamic themes?yeah..i can agree.free themes were great early on.open source dynamic themes would be cool.but then......we got idiots like GEOHOT....

and as an early adopter,it may not run as cool,but i got the best end of the stick with the US60gig(now 500gig)ps3 that i have had since launch.i still play ps2,i use flash drives and memory sticks on it.it has more ports that i don't have to add to it.i can charge 2 controllers,plug in the ps2 memory card adapter and the pseye.

article should have added the web browser.as much as it works,there are so many things wrong with it.it locks up,can't load some videos,only has 6 pages maximum and it SHOULD load ridiculously fast.i mean got d@mn,the cell processor should be making pages pop up at warp 9.when it works,it works.i can stream and download so many things and surf from my bed.

but sony,give me a better web browser.

[BeaArthur]

He says in the article why you would want to play with a 360 controller...if you have a friend over and don't have enough controllers.

[IHateYouFanboys]

also the fact that the 360 controller is a better controller in every way apart from the dpad.

[ImmortalLegend]

I can think of 3 different negative things myself for each console I own.

360
1) It's fucking loud! I know this can be solved by installing games, but what if I don't have a large HDD?
2) You can now use flash drives for game saves and such, but guess what...they are capped at 16gb. What a slap in the face. So if I want a significant amount of memory I still have to dish out $100+ for a HDD.
3) We all know you have to pay to play online and I don't have a problem with that, but I do have a problem with MS points. They are a scam! I can't ever get the exact amount of points I want for a set price.

PS3
1) Mandatory installs. I know it's about 10-15 minutes of my time, but it can get annoying waiting for a game to install.
2) The cracking/popping noises my PS3 slim makes when it's powered on. I know it's the plastic expanding and stuff, but it's irritating. It also continues to make the noise for like the first half hour of being on every 10-15 minutes.
3) The web browser. Can I please go to a site without my PS3 locking up? I mean it's good to have, but it's damn near useless.

[CellularAutomata]

Wii's "crappy online system" can be a good thing. Did you know you can play pirated games online? And not get banned?

PS3's "no 360 USB controller" doesn't seem necessary, I think there are accessories to play a with a 360 controller. Also, I remember seeing a PS3 controller that seems to have a similar layout to the 360 controller(left analog is on the dpad and dpad is where the analog should be).

What SHOULD be on the PS3 list is the browser. Every PS3 owner knows the browser sucks, and is ONLY usefull when you dont have a PC.

[branchedout]

I've never really used the PS3 Browser. Always had a computer near. And now, it's super near. It's connected to the same TV as my PS3! But I have a friend, and he swears the thing hates him, because it locks up on him a lot.

[T9X69]

He's not the only one, I avoid using it because it runs slow as balls and after about 10-15min of use it locks up. Its a nice feature to have, but right now its almost pointless because it takes longer for the pages to load then to actually get up and hop on the computer. The only real use I've had for it is downloading themes and movies. Other than that I refuse to touch it.

[Falloutxii]

It's like this guy tried to come up with negative things to say about the ps3 and he couldn't think of any except for some lame ones.
1. It doesn't apply anymore there's plenty of games on the ps3.
2. Why would you wanna play with a 360 controller on your ps3.
3. Are custom Dynamic Themes that important?

[CellularAutomata]

1. Remember all the butthurt 07?
2. Because it is best for FPS
3. Are they not?

[Ripyealip]

PS3 # 1 and 3 are just lame, number 2 is just nitpicking

Wii # 3 do graphics really matter?

[athlon770]

"Wii # 3 do graphics really matter?"

If they didn't, we would not have the 360 or the PS3.

[Prcko]

lol

[Aphe]

lol

[Aphe]

'This one was obvious. I got a PS3 in ’07. Then in ’08 I got a HDTV. I couldn’t believe my eyes at HD graphics. They were amazing! Blowing everything the wii had out of the water in graphical textures… AND STUFF! The next Nintendo console better churn out some HD graphics. Everything’s just so pretty.'

That's how pc gamers have felt about consoles for quite a while to be honest. HD might seem new, but it's been around for quite a while.

[nickjkl]

yeah about that its not the same

hd is nothing but a resolution anything above 480i and is 16:9 is considered HD

now heres where i basically raged

now heres wher eyou idiot pc fuckers come in talking about how you were playing hd since 1980 when the games back then looked nothing like the games of today you might of been putting out games at that resolution but they didnt look good

[Non_sequitur]

Why brag about higher resolutions when TVs are 1080p? Also, why care about that res when most people have monitors no bigger than 20 in.?

[waterboy]

no ps3 exclusive is on pc, so what game should you have felt that way for

[Narutodemonx]

ps3 has the dumbest reasons wtf.

[SoSLy]

lol... all the things in his article is lame....

on 360, where the hell is RROD? or did it just vanish? The microphones are lame.
on PS3, did he just bash the lack of developers? dude the whole EA is supporting the PS3, The 360 controller on PS3 is just plain retarded, obviously Sony wont let you use 360 controllers on the PS3 since they both want you to buy their controllers.
on Wii, i didnt know why he didnt bash the huge amount of accessories on the Wii, because other than that i dont find anything wrong in that console since most it's games are not really meant to be played online. And probably the lack of serious games(rated M) are not in there too...

This article failed big time

[Trroy]

Lol the PS3 reasons were really reaching.

[2 cents]

On the ps3 i hate how long it takes to update the software or to install the games. I hate that is not as user fiendly as the 360. I hate that it seems much slower than the 360, like when accesing ps store or when checking other players trophy collection.

On the 360 i hate HOW LOUD IT IS. I hate that everything has to be proprietary and i cant use my racing wheel that i use for pc and ps3. I hate that is scratching my discs (yes even when i don`t move it) and that i have to pay for online

[Koromaro]

Instead of the 360 Control they should have put updates instead.

I wasn't a big fan of the 360 controller since to me it was clunky and once the springs on the RB and LB come off its a pain
