How can you try and bash the best online service that is currently available for consoles? Its alot better than using long digit numbers to try add people and then realise you can't even talk to them. Smile

Cloud added, Noodle added, Nitemare added, Wenis added.

Greaserlee whats your GT?

Oh and Cloud im thinking of re-buying Halo just to kick your ass. Wink



Or even PSN, where almost nobody has a mic.


Wow, I thought most people would be using a microphone. Aren't most mics compatible with the PS3 unlike 360? You would expect more people to be chatting away. Since I have had live, it feels weird going into an online game and not hearing people talk. Even if 50% of the time im getting insulted. Wink Heck its fun!



Often times it has me laughing, actually. Although the 3 year olds can sometimes get irriating when they attempt to talk strategy, but most of the time, like Big Team Battle on H3, it's so funny.


The problem is that the PS3 doesn't ship with a Mic, and only Bluetooth headsets are compatible. Sure, many people have them on their phones, but almost EVERYONE buys the Premium or Elite, and gets the headset there for the X360. Bluetooth headsets are around $50 for a decent one, and not beneficial for many unless they get the one solid online game the PS3 has (Warhawk), in which case, it comes with one. I like that Sony gives the headsets with that game, but I don't want to keep getting a headset every time I buy the Blu-ray disc version. The same cost as the PSN download should be available as a BD without a headset as well. (I don't like the digitally downloaded full game idea).

Maybe they should of packaged in a headset with the PS3, but on the other hand it costs ALOT already so...

I'm loving Live so much.

Halo is overrated .... Call of Duty 4 is where its at.


Last game I will buy is COD4. I HATE IT. lol.

my gamertag is in my sig below: "greaser lee" (with a space)

i played halo melee battle 3 on friday, and it's just as terrible as i remember it. you really dont need a mic to play that game, and theres still so much trash talking during the pre and post-match lobby, it's ridiculous.

to defend the ps3 camp a bit, i got booted from almost every burnout: paradise demo game, online, because i didnt have a mic. so yeah, seems like theres a lot more people with them nowadays.

I like Halo 3 > COD 4.

Playing halo 3 then going to COD feels so weird, and I can't get used to it. lol

Probably, because anyone who's playing PSN online got Warhawk, which is a great game (I bought Battalion Wars II to compensate)..

Yep, I know the feeling, welcome to live, so addicting.

Where in that post did I say Wii or PS3 online or in general is better than a 360. It's all in your own head much?

Now tell me that the 360 isn't unreliable in the slightest. Come one Snake, even you have to admit that the 360 isn't exactly the most reliable gaming machine. Sure it has improved a lot but that is after the unreliability.

Well im comparing Wii or PS3 because they are generally the only other next gen, home consoles on the market. So you can't help but compare them?

I knew very well before buying a 360 that they can be unreliable. Which is why I have a warranty.

Yes it was you saying it worse, not me. It is a very good games console just the brand has been unreliable hardware wise.

I wasn't attacking you or anyone I was just stating unreliability.

I understand. Smile But yeah, reliability can be a big factor for some people when considering a console.

Exactly! xD

People can't hide the fact that the 360 brand has been a big reliability let down. Good that microsoft is fighting that with new chipsets.

Thats why we get a Warranty. Now complaining about a system you don't have.

The warranty is beside the point. Who are you to dictate what I want to discuss?

Cloud, do not dictate what members can and can't talk about. If he backs up his complaints then he has every right to voice them.

OH NOEZ.

In the past month or so the number of returned 360s we've had due to RRoD had decreased dramatically (We've had mark 2 chipsets since september and mark 3 since end of november) Seriously we get more PS3s with the bad fan issue.

Alright then, get on topic.

The thread is about Wenis' problems with XBL, not with the systems unreliability. Smile


I'm having problems with XBL too Wenis, but at 12-3 am Its completely perfect.

Yes, it decreased dramatically. Reliability issues will always hover over the 360 brand. They are doing a lot to prevent but getting rid of that reputation...

Cloud, isn't the fact of the matter problems and unreliability?

360 has reliability issues. PS3 has good game issues. Wii has casual gamer issues.

All the brands have their problems. Its just a matter of picking which ones suit you.
If I get a 360 and Warranty, its awesome lol.
