5 reasons to switch from 360 to PS3. It seems that frequently, writers, critics and gamers discuss the age-old rivalry between the PS3 and the 360 in terms of new buyers and adopters — however this doesn’t take into account gamers that could be dissatisfied or interested in branching out. Here are 5 reasons you should switch from the Xbox 360 to the Playstation 3, or just choose PS3 outright. The reasons convinced me! Also, check out the blog comments below. I have posted some more articles to read!! 1. The PS3 upscales standard DVDs where the 360 does not, at least right out of the box - if you want to have your upscaled DVDs (just like everything with the 360), you can buy a VGA hookup for the standard 360, or you can use the HDMI capabilities of the most expensive Elite system; nonetheless, Sony didn’t leave this particular stone unturned, and PS3 owners can enjoy DVD upscaling without turning to another disc player for it. 2. The Playstation network is free where Xbox Live is assuredly not - we can squabble all day over whether or not Xbox Live is a better online service than Playstation’s setup (it probably is), but free is free; when push comes to shove, I’d rather not spend $50 bucks a year to play games online when I can do it for free. 3. You can have multiple gamer tags at no cost on the PS3, where the 360 charges for each additional account - this ties in with the last point, but here’s why this is significant: I play Call of Duty 4 almost religiously, and after getting a hang of the game, I really want to have a kill to death ratio that reflects what I’m capable of. Unfortunately, as far as I am into it, going 19 and 1 doesn’t have the kind of effect I’d like to on my ratio. Solution? Have another account — but oh wait, I don’t want to spend $50 for that convenience. 4. Playstation 3 has a Blu-ray player, where the 360 does not (yet) — rumors and mumblings keep saying the 360 will see a Blu-ray drive, but I’m not willing to pay an additional $200 for it, even if it ever did hit the market. Like it or not, Blu-ray is the high definition disc format, and the Playstation has it at quite the reasonable price. 5. Most importantly, the Playstation 3 doesn’t have anywhere near the repair issues that the 360 does - this is for all those disconcerted 360 owners who have had to send in their consoles for red ring of death repairs, perhaps multiple times. Wouldn’t it be nice to not wonder whether you just received a ticking time bomb from Microsoft every time you have a console replaced? 6. Study shows PS3 has better concentration of good games than 360, Wii. (See posted comment in this blog for details!) 7. Now there is seven...cuz, I just upgraded my hard drive for SUPA CHEAP!!! You can upgrade the PS3's hard drive SUPA EASY AND FOR SUPA CHEAP!!!! I just put in a 320gig for $89!!!! Go Ebay, Go Sony!! 8. IT'S THE ONLY CONSOLE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO PLAY KILLZONE 2!!! BAM! There’s 8 very legitimate reasons to ditch your 360 in favor of the PS3, or choose the PS3 outright; granted, new adopters probably won’t be running out to stores to trash their 360s, but after a little hassle with Microsoft and not enough features in the 360, older customers just might consider it. I am not a PS3 Fanboy, but like to present facts. There are games on the 360 I really like, but I cannot afford both consoles at one time. I may get a 360 sometime down the road....but, I wanted the best option for my money first!
