after recently copping an xbox 360 im gobsmacked...

i used to partake in fanboy beefs back in the day n ride for the ps3, but damn...the ? is slow as ? compared to the 360.

i duno wether is becos i have a fat ps3 n maybe the slim ps3 r alot quicker, but i cant even send a private message without the ? lagging, checking messages while ingame is the worst, ? takes a good 10 seconds b4 it loads up.

360 u can turn of the console damn near instantly, on the ps3 it takes 5-7 seconds...

smh.

    I don't play online, but as far as streaming netflix and downloading its pretty fast for me. lol@ complaining about how long a system takes to log off.Was this really thread worthy? I thought consoles were for games and not about sending messages?

    the ps3 cant even keep time properly.. for explame right now my ps3 clock is 6 MINUTES TIOO FAST !!!, everytime i set the right time the ? jus goes back to being too fast.

    lol i think that time thing goes for mine too.

    but isnt a 360 closer to a pc? that would explain why stuff like that processes faster.

    EDIT: Ps3 ram is divided between the cpu and gpu, 256mb each. 360 has 512mb ram to use for what ever it needs.

    That's why it's faster for the menu interface, booting etc.

    "With the Xbox 360, you have 512mb shared between the CPU and GPU. If you play a game which requires more focus on CPU and less on graphics (such as a RTS game), then this would be a great advantage, since the CPU can take up like 70% of the total RAM if needed to.

    As for the PS3, you have 256mb dedicated to CPU and another 256mb dedicated to GPU. You have the same RAM in total, but the CPU cannot "borrow" some of the GPU's RAM if it needed to, which could be a disadvantage for some games and make it harder for developers. However I am sure the PS3 has faster RAM to compensate."

    I like xbox live, I really do.....BUT
    After recently obtaining a PS3, and honestly, and I really can't believe I'm saying this, but PSN+ is better, leagues better just based off the fact you get 12 free games from the ? for less a month than what XBL costs......damn no cross game chat and whatever else trivial ? XBL has that PSN don't.

    You get the basic ? for free plus the games for less than what M$ stay nickel and diming for.And it's not like it's ? games,it's really good ? they GIVING away.

    I'm just saying.

    I've never had this problem with my PS3, you ? must have the new ones. I still have the 80gb joint that's backwards compatible.

    You just don't know what fast is. You've never experienced it. Nh

    You dont know what great games are.. you've never experienced it.

    Never really noticed the msg speed. 360 is faster as far as downloading demos go, which is why i d/l majority of demos on 360 unless its a ps3 exclusive.

    Those who keep saying you pay for xbox live, I doubt psn will be free for ps4, with all that money Sony saw M$ racked up

    I don't give a ? if it's a bit slower, I'm not dying to read messages or friend requests. I'm sure your boyfriends can wait Spliff.

    But aside the "slow as ? " PS3, I have a PS3 for games, games that are >>>>> 360 games.
