Top 25 Reasons to Ditch Microsoft

Over the past few weeks, we've given you excellent reasons to stop supporting both Sony and Nintendo. Well, now it's Microsoft's turn. The billion dollar juggernaut' Xbox 360 is popular, but that doesn't mean we love it. If you too have grown tired of broken machines and overpaying for peripherals, here are 25 reasons why abandoning the company is a smart idea.

[Peter North]

I only need 1:

RROD 84.2% Failure Rate.

[Ahmad-]

Another one bites the dust!

[PS3PCFTW]

*tears*
All my thoughts are now reality.

BRING ON GT5

PLAY BEYOND 54.2 % last gen hardware.

[SonySoldiers]

HAIL NIPPON TECH, PLAYSTATION 3 THAT IS.

KILL AMERICAN CONSOLE, XRODD 360 HELLO.

HONDA > ANY GM CARS

[ShadowCK]

Terrible Reasons. Number 22 suggests the system's too loud while they fail to inform us that you can download the full game onto your hard drive. Thus making the Xbox 360 quieter.

[El Botto]

Defending the 360 till death.

But at the same time not realizing the massive flaw in the "but, but, but..."

Even dl on harddrive and in the 360s most silent mode, its still a fking JET engine and over 250% louder than the PS3.

OWNED.

go "but, but, but..." on your dog, stinkin xbot.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I don't remember seeing the Top 25 Reasons to Ditch Sony on this website. Anyway, here it is http://www.gamedaily.com/ar...

I like #'s 11 and 10:

11. Little to no graphical difference

Sony loves to talk about how powerful PS3 is, but the majority of the games on the console look just as good (sometimes better) on Xbox 360. So don't plunk down the cash thinking the PS3 destroys 360 when it comes to graphics.

10. Xbox 360 has a better controller

Let's face it, Xbox 360 has a more comfortable controller. DualShock 3 is all right, but that design is way past its prime. Besides, we still don't like the weird feeling L2/R2 triggers.

and then there's 8. You rarely get anything for free

On iPhone, companies charge for games and then release free updates with new characters, levels and other cool stuff. With Sony, you'll have to pay for just about everything. At least the publisher plans to give away a copy of Gran Turismo PSP when the PSP go launches.

"Hey Sony, quit treating us like whores"...sound familiar. People seem to think that only MS is a money grubbing corporation, when the truth is, neither is in business because they want to give us free stuff. Both want your money, don't forget that people.

@Botto: No, it's pretty quiet when you install to the HDD. At least mine is.

[El Botto]

is in reality OVER two hundred FIFTY FOUR PERCENT (!!!) louder than the PS3.

OWNED.

And Uncharted 1, a two year old game, is graphically SUPERIOR to anything on the 360. Dont even think about lying on that one.

Everything is superior on the PS3. From graphics to storage to...well basically EVERYTHING. Thats why it "only does everything".

OWNED

[AngryTypingGuy]

Typing a sentence.

OWNED.

Typing owned so I feel better about myself.

OWNED.

Spewing things out of my mouth that I know aren't true.

OWNED.

I wish PS3 had a good anti aliasing sytem so there weren't so many jaggies.

OWNED.

I think because I type owned in capital letters after everything people will respect my opinion.

OWNED.

[Peter North]

They should add Too Human somewhere in that list.

[Mr Bean Laden]

there are over 100 reasons, nuff said

[BubbleSniper]

i tried putting uncharted in my 360 and out came 8 discs

[S M N]

that's wierd

is yours a jasper? cos mine when i put uncharted it's give me 54.2 dvd's back

[Peter North]

The Cash For Floppers program was just announced.

[Peter North]

Since FF13 is being distributed on 19 DVDs and 4 Cassette Tapes on the 360, Western gamers are now opting for the the superior 1 Disc version that is only available on the PlayStation 3.

[dustgavin]

The 360 version also comes equipped with Monster Ballads Vol. 14.

[Peter North]

The Xbox 360 is now officially out of games.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

54.2 reasons to leave Microsoft LOL

[BubbleSniper]

it has one game left if it still work

the game that come free with every xbox 360..... RROD!

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

All flops are exclusive to the 360.Cry for me Micro$laves XD

[Xbox360Elite]

You guys are Pathetic so says the 38 million Xbox360 owners and expanding.

[Sunny_D]

nice exaggeration bot! take those glasses off while you're at it.

[BulletToothtony]

delusional fanboy..

[Saaking]

what stupid bot! Where'd you get those 38 million? Oh, I know out of you @ss! lmao

[dustgavin]

The 38 million is probably the amount of 360 consoles soon to be buried next to the Atari 2600 version of E.T.

[Mr Bean Laden]

Never turn on a flopbox while in a gas station!!! KA-BOOOOOOM!!!!!! :P :P:P

[BulletToothtony]

come on gamedaily.. if you're in desperate need of hits you should try some REAL journailsm..

These articles are PATHETIC...

25 Reasons to ditch EVERY console?? are you serious?? are you guys even gamers..?? apparently you don't care about games.. only about getting hits to get more money from those sponsors of yours..

Do us a favor and go hang yourselves..

simply pathetic

[Rigmaster]

" Even 1up decided that is time to move on"

Only because the cesspool of hard core Microsoft/Xbox fans who managed to infest the place back in around the end of the Xbox era have all gotten:

1. Hired away to Microsoft - Turn 10, Bungie, etc

2. Fired

[Time Lord]

I wonder what HipHopGamer is cooking up for us for tomorrow. Should be good laugh.

[ShabzS]

just read the list its really funny...

there are about 4 or 5 valid reasons apart from that its just lame humour ... you guys take these things way too seriously

[shingo]

lol, so what's next? pc? wii?

gtfo gamedaily.

[Chewy102]

of those are bashing the ps3, 1/2 are worded to make it seem like it's more pro than anti, and the rest are just ??? (you hate M$, you have epilepsy).

I know that it's just the internet and that it's full of idiots, but this is just bad.

[Mr Marbles]

with this one. It is much easier to find screwed up things about PS3, Microsoft did a pretty good job on the 360 apart from RROD.

[Sarcasm]

"Microsoft did a pretty good job on the 360 apart from RROD. "

haha... Wait...

You're actually serious...

[Sarcasm]

Someone needs to make an article,

Top 25 Reasons The Gaming Media Sucks

[Chewy102]

I 2nd that Sarcasm. But please don't make it 27 pages.

[JonnyBadfinger]

Alot of those so called reasons seemed like fillers to me.

really he only mentioned about 12 real reasons, not 25

They put alot more effort into trashing the PS3 and Wii, the 360 seemed to get off lightly

[Lightsaber]

That is the lamest list I ever seen. They did even have real reasons ok maybe one or 2 are.

[GCNSean]

Why do you people let this garbage pass on here? I am guessing if this articles was "25 reasons to ditch Sony" it would have never passed...

[Kleptic]

yeah GD does this all the time...whatever, its nothing new...GD in 2008 named the Xbox 360 the best console in history...that shows how slanted and ridiculous they are entirely...nothing else needs to be said...

and nearly every reason had some sort of dig at Sony or Nintendo "you hate the controller" filled with 'we think its the best controller out there, but maybe you don't for whatever reason'...what kind of list is that?...

but yeah...the only thing we need is lists of what websites suck and why we should not support them...

[Mr Brownstone74]

i agree.

"You don't like the games" - yes i do. i would not have a 360 if i didnt enjoy the games

"You hate the controller" - i love it. obviously everybody has their own preferences

"You hate NXE" - nope. i like its new style and so much more about it. but yes there are quite a few adds but all of those have some sort of free download with them.

"You refuse to pay for online gaming" - i really don't mind. as long as it is a good experience

"Most of your friends have PS3 and or Wii" - no. only about 5 people i know have a PS3 or Wii. everybody else has a 360

"You need more calorie burning activities in your life" everybody could use some more but if you play sports or run or go to a gym like a lot of us, you will be fine

"Too much violent content" - wow. u cant get enought violent content. and shooters and just about every great game have violence

"You don't have enough time for video games" - i can sometimes agree. but that applies to every console

[edgeofblade]

"20. It makes PS3 games look bad

Hear us out on this one..."
___

Ok, I heard you out. This is still a remarkably LOUSY reason and faulty beyond belief. Why should we treat the PS3 like "His Holy Highness, the Great King, Play Station, the Third" and yield to the alleged crown? This is business. There is competition in the market, and if you don't want to build all new architectures to win the numbers game, then make it easier to program for and reap the rewards of lower development costs.

This article makes it sound like Microsoft is an affront to the Playstation monarchy... which comes out sounding like "but but but... Playstation has the Cell and the RSX... it HAS to be better".

You can argue until you are blue in the face that the tech means PS3 is better, but for there to be this large of a shift in 360's direction, the result is clear. If you can't afford to take the time to figure out Sony's 7 cored behemoth, what's the point? Program it on 360, port to PS3, and start making money. Or sit in R&D for an extra year figuring out the Cell, release the game on one console instead of two, and make.... less money.

Long story short, Sony came to play a numbers game... they just played the wrong one.

lol 25 ??? usually these kind of " news " you see 5 , maybe 10 reasons but 25 is a lot ..

i guess this show that the war is getting more intense .

[a_squirrel]

lol

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

This article is wrong.I have a list of 160 Reasons to ditch Microsoft inside the trunk of a car going down a cliff.

[Saaking]

I have a list of over 9000 reasons, but the bots have had enough punishment. MS has let down their loyal followers. Pathetic.

[IzKyD1331]

I love how they try so hard to defend the console they're bashing.

"We think the Xbox 360's controller is the most comfortable one out there, but to each their own. Plenty of gamers prefer the PS3's DualShock 3, and Nintendo loyalists drool over the tiny Wii Remote."

So you guys put the controller as a reason to not like the system, but you defend it at the same time?

"We think the Xbox 360 has a tremendous video game library, but hey, we understand if you don't like it. Maybe you love Nintendo or prefer playing the God of War series. If that's the case, Xbox 360 won't impress you."

If you think the library is so good, then why the hell did you put this as a reason?

"Both Sony and Nintendo offer free, albeit inferior, ways to game with and against friends."

You say "Both Sony and Nintendo offer free albeit inferior ways to game" like the PS3 offers the same features the Wii does. The Wii lets you connect to 4 other people for botched multiplayer modes, PSN lets you connect to 256 other players in lag free gameplay, create multiple accounts for free, download demos, network games, videos, HD movies, TV Shows, browse the internet, go on Home. It has the same friend cap that the 360 has (100) and guess what? I save 50 bucks a year

[Myst]

I am glad I was not the only one who saw a problem with the wording in the article. It certainly presents itself as being confused as to whether or not they really do or are trying to find some ways to downplay the 360, yet at the same time they do not want to.

[OGharryjoysticks]

I was going to copy and paste all of the article's "I think it's the greatest c0ck and suck it like there's no tomorrow but you might not be a queer like me so you might want to find a chicks nipples instead" stuff.

LOL...www.lamedaily.com

[Chewy102]

some kind of filter on this site? One that keeps crap like this from getting to the font page?

[RandomDude655]

"achievement addiction: achievements are much better than trophies"

WTF...they are pretty much the exact same.

[mastiffchild]

Yes they are the same. I CAN see an argument for trophies being better than achievements as they do show a little more detail about what you've done but essentially thet're the same thing.

Sadly this was a pretty biased list when the refute their own points and do down the PS and Wii as much, if not more, than the 360 which they're meant to be slagging. The PS3's list was done with what felt like much more venom as well which does leave them looking a bit bent in one direction-unsurprisingly.

[Xbox360Elite]

Have a nice day

[Myst]

Is it me or are they doing a lot of assuming in these articles? For example look at a few titles that I have glanced at wondering whether or not I should be feeling what they are assuming.

"2. You have epilepsy"
"15. You hate the controller"
"13. You hate NXE"
"8. Your significant other gave you an ultimatum: The games go, or I go"

I am sorry, but numbers two and eight have no bearing for me. I do not have epilepsy and for the most part my significant other did not care whether I play or for how long I played as long as I would pay attention to her later. Not to mention I don't really hate the NXE nor do I hate the controller, took some getting used to, but now I can seamlessly switch between the 360 and PS3 one. The only one I dislike is the Classic Controller for the Wii and currently awaiting the pro model.

As much as I tried to get a bit more into this article it seems some of the reasoning presented could actually harm other consoles because of the way they presented it such as:

"9. Too much violent content"

Come on now really?

[Saaking]

It's a joke article like all the others; however, I agree with mostly everything.

[IzKyD1331]

They only made this article to coincide with their 10 million "Why the PS3 sucks" articles. In all honesty, if you take away the bullsh!t, there are only like 7 legitimate reasons, as you mentioned with the epilepsy or violent content as reasons.....those are reasons to avoid gaming PERIOD, not just the 360.

[Parapraxis]

wow...25 minutes before the first approval, N4G sure is overrun with Sony loyalists huh.

[Tinted Eyes]

Just like the one for Sony got overrun by 360 faithfuls.

[Saaking]

except this one makes more sense.

[blind-reaper]

I'm a sony fanboy and I'm reporting this article because I'm tired of the same sh.. that game daily post.

[BubbleSniper]

i kinda hope xbox dont go away
we need more beta test from xbox owners and ms to pay for more ps3 exclusives

[Saaking]

They're scheduled to beta test SCC and ME2 next year.

[Saaking]

Excellent article and this one actually makes sense.

[LordMarius]

Yes the best I seen here in days

Edit: Nvm i guess this GameDaily site is still bending over to MS

[Saaking]

This article is pure truth. MS and the xbox 360 should be ditched ASAP as it's just a sinking ship.

[Masamori Sumimura]

lol @ the open zone. damn

[JonnyBigBoss]

"You"

Instead of remaining unbaised, GameDaily tries to respond as if it's speaking for the people who didn't like their last article (everybody). These guys are biased beyond belief.

[Dsnyder]

Jack Thompson seems to have a job with Gamedaily. Ditch every console wtf?

[no_more_trolling]

im still playing my xbox 360 ^_^

f**k all yall

[ShabzS]

from the list

Reason 8: Too much voilent content masked behind the cuteness

reason 7: you dont have time for video games..

reason 6: your significant other gave you an ultimatum ... the system goes or i go...

reason 5: Achievement point addictions

reason 2: you have epilepsy and cant game

apart from the funny stuff there are some pretty logical reasons as well.. hdd over price, no BR, paying for live.. number 1 reason is the kicker simple and concise .. the 360's break easy... good read...

[eagle21]

Where do I start?.......lol

[Scarecrows]

do i feel like the same person is MOST of the same person in here. trolls.

[falcon]

just read on cnn that bill gates wants to stop hurricanes. lol

[DarK-SilV]

this is the best

[SpartanZero]

Beta Test like Bioshock HAHAHAHAHAHA XD

[Saaking]

yes, exactly like bioshock.

[falcon]

[SpartanZero]

[ZombieAutopsy]

i thought lost planet ran like crap on ps3 compared to xbox360

Edit: Just seen that you were being sarcastic by looking at your avatar and reading your comment history.

[NMC2007]

"25 Reasons why gamedaily should stop saying the word "reason".

[Mr Marbles]

you guys are just upset because PS3 had 25 actual reasons that it sucks, yet they had to make up a bunch of B.S. reasons to hate on 360.

These articles bring that reality to light, the 360 is a better console,(minus RROD) and you guys hate anyone who points that out, period.

[Obama]

Mr. Marble you are so delusional, no wonder you have only 3 bubbles.

[Unicron]

I don't know what's worse... fanboys like Marbles thinking this is actual news... or the tool who wrote this thinking this is actual news.

[mastiffchild]

Marbles, mate, if you truly feel what you're saying is right then I worry. No matter about anything else the failure rate of the 360 should've been worth about five reasons on it's own, shouldn't it? certainly I've had more things go wriong than just RROD.

Why does noone ever point out that Live which you pay for actually offers inferior onlione gaming much of the t9me due to there being(and God knows why)far fewer games than on PSN with dedicated servers? IMO that's the biggest deciding factor in how good the online service really is and whether it has anything to do with MS or Sony doesn't matter as it's still a fact. Or does P2P beat dedicated servers for you?

I could easily go on and on like GD did about the PS3(and in reverse aboput the 360)and so could anyone -it's the fact they didn't that makes them seem a little biased here. Each console has reasons why it's better and why it's worse than the competition and much comes down to the things they can't do much about-the preferences over library, interface, controllers and that kind of thing. So it's fine tha you like your 360 better but don't think there aren't just as many cons with it as there are to PS3 ownership just because this huy likes his as much as you.

[WMW]

yeah 360s hardware problems easily makes up the top 5
1.rrod
2.scratches game disk
3.E74 error
4.every update brings new problems
5.can and has caused houses to catch fire
the sad thing is any 1 of these is a bigger problem then anything on any other system but the 360 has all of these and thats just the hardware you can find alot more when you bring up LIVE or software

[Gue1]

This article finally proves how biased these bastards from FailDaily are...

As some guy said on the comment section of the article: "This is so lame. These reasons are pathetic, and could be applied to almost any system. They were much harder on Sony".

FailDaily has their asses and mouths filled with MS c0ck and lots of cum.

[Madusha]

1. Xbox sucks
2. RROD
3. Xbox sucks
4. If you own one, your crazy
5. No GT5 on 360
6. Bill gates is stupid
7. Xbox sucks
8. Xbox sucks
9. RROD
10. RROD

[kaz-hirai]

Unlike the PLAYSTATION®3 the 360 does not have the capability to carry out true Dolby Digital HD sound with no blue tooth and no blu ray ;-D !

The 360 relies on its money to buy over developers and hinder the rest of the industry by its lower than DVD9 space ;-D !!

http://www.gamepro.com/arti...

[callahan09]

It's clear that this article was only made because of the backlash they got for the Top 25 Reasons to Ditch Sony article. This one is clearly just a "whinged it" kind of write-up, just to get it out there and say "See! We did one for MS too, we're not biased!" The fact is, Chris Buffa is a gigantic Microsoft fanboy and he's never been fair to Sony.

[SpartanZero]

GTA4 LOL its official your owning yourselfs

[kaz-hirai]

"On PS3, you've got a guarantee that every machine is going to have a hard-drive and, with Blu-ray, you've got plenty of storage," said Rockstar creative VP Dan Houser. "[W]hereas on Xbox 360 there's no guarantee of a hard-drive and you're working with the DVD format."

"Does that create limitations?" he asked himself. "Yep."

;-D !!!! dont cry chatbot Vice City is still one of the best

[TeRRoR546]

F N STUPID

[chisox100]

quite a few dumb reasons but for the most part some pretty damn good reasons to leave the 55.4% Box

[Xpandemic]

nvm

[Raoh]

i dont get it.. i mean i'm no microsoft fan (mainly of the company, i've hated microsoft long before they even launched the first xbox)

but the prices are right, best time to be a multi console owner.. hell why isn't nintendo dropping in price yet?

oh and i wont bother clicking on a gamedaily link, let me guess, 25 reasons and they turned into a 27 page clickfest for page hits and each page has a 2 or 3 sentence answer right?

[sunil]

because nintendo has sold more than ps3 and 360 combined?

+ Wii HD is on the way

[poopsack]

this is all stupid to begin with.

[Obama]

It's that Chris Buffa guy again. Although he posted some valid points, he is still a moron.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Might just be me...but it seemed they ran out of legit reasons and substituted trivial gripes compared to the other two articles.

[jack who]

20. It makes PS3 games look bad

15. You hate the controller

16. You don't like the games

7. You don't have time for video games

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Why................... Never mind.

[Wakka_]

B-b-b-but Gamedaily is biased against PS3 :(.

[sunil]

they are and you would have knows if you read the article.

[Wakka_]

LOL @ the PS3 fanboy using alts.

[Cliff Bleszinski]

We at "Epic Games" had managed to utilise and extract the full potential of the Xbox 360 in a short span of time. Despite its inherent challenges we had successfully managed to develop both a convincing and graphically appealing game on a console that offered relatively underwhelming hardware.

As such we at Epic Games have decided to liberate our selves from the shackles of Microsoft and offer gamers the unrivalled opportunity to experience a more compelling and worthwhile game when our IP will officially go Multi plat at the end of this fiscal year.

Be sure to pick up a Copy on the PS3 :-D

[scott182]

I'm not a fanboy of either console but as I have watched this "war" it does seem the media is more willing to attack the ps3. What does everyone expect? We live in America were the xbox is more popular. but it is true, there clearly is biased media, not only in games, but games are a good example.

6) Sony cannot layout a plan and move according it, they just do what MS does
5) Gore does not mean mature games, quite the opposite
4) PSN doesn't have Facebook or Twitter apps. Only accessable via the inbuilt browser
3) Blueray drives are a pain to fix
2) Underused disk format
1) 10% Failure rate.

Bonus:
26) Shoddy online gaming, trying to equal MS Live.
27) Home
28) No native 1080p
29) More movies then games
30) Its Sony

Seriously, I have done that above out of jest. Anyone can pull anything out of their ass and state it as fact.

[RandomDude655]

The most fail web site of all time fails again, GameFaily.

[christos]

all of you guys are pathetic my 9 year old brother is smarter than you.Seriously why so much hate for the 360 its a good console yes i know that it has 54.2% failure rate but you have to admit it has the best online out of every console while the ps3 has better exlcusives but their are both exactly the same with their ups and downs SO EVERYONE STFUUUUU

[dustgavin]

No, they are not. The Ps3 comes equipped with everything you need on top of having superior hardware while the 360 is like putting together a puzzle. Seriously, it has more add-ons than the Sega/CD/32x!

Don't forget the massive failure rate.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Their should be hate for this article, it really does seem like it was just thrown together and they even defend some of the points which they didnt do for the ps3 and i think thats why alot of people are aggravated about it. Anyone who had read the authors articles before knows hes an MS fanboy, and in my opinion fanboys dont make good journalists.

I dont think anyone should ditch any console though, they all have their strong and weak points but all-in-all no one should go without being able to play any game that comes out this gen.

[StankyChicken]

Now only if Microsoft made Gold $54.2 dollars, then it would be all better.

[DelbertGrady]

When they made their "25 reasons to ditch Sony" story this place was full of droids.

Guess what, now it's full of droids too.

[ZombieAutopsy]

i see its full of some hardcore x-boys too.

[DelbertGrady]

True, but the droid ratio is about 8:1.

10 Reasons to Ditch Sony

1. You prefer having the choice to use your hard earn money on an online service that boombard you with ads.

2. You prefer having the power to choose between installing a game or facing DVD hardware failure. It's all about those two choices.

3. You don't like to play games, and have more fun waiting three weeks for your RRODed 360 to come back.

4. Uncharted 2 makes everything looks bad on the 360, and as a sensitive person, you feel sorry for Microsoft and feel you must defend Microsoft.

5. You think GT5 is too realistic. You prefer fun, arcady games like Forza 3.

6. You don't like free stuff. Why get it for free when you can pay for it with your hard earn money and show the world how rich your are?

7. Or, maybe you love free stuff so much that you rather pirate stuff. Either way, its a good reason to ditch Sony.

8. As a Go Green person, you prefer using your console as another heater for the winter.

9. You do not have the gut to stand gritty violent games like Killzone 2. You prefer FPS games with the color of the rainbow like Halo.

10. There is just something about Microsoft screwing over customers that you love.

[MaximusPrime]

i agree with some of the reasons gamedaily made there.

One of the reasons i totally agreed on is "too many violent games"
Probably xbox 360 controller is best for shoot em up and nothing else.
Most news around the round reported real life killing, all started on xbox or xbox 360.

I want large variety of genres, not large number of violent games.

This is the reasons why i stayed on sony's side. They got better collection of games.
Sony is known for large variety of genres.
Nintendo is known for family friendly games.
Microsoft is know for removing Word from PC, i meant not so family friendly (or customer service friendly)

[PLAYstar]

Being a Xbot, the truth really hurts. I bought a thousand Xbox360, and have to swap with a new one quicker than changing my diapers while sending the malfunctioned for repairing. The failure rate is ridiculously high, and everytime I started playing, I just hope I could live for the another second.

[AngelorD]

HEY GUYS CHECK OUT THE NEW XBOX 360 AD CAMPAIGN!!!!

[btz]

this is stupid, gamedaily should just retire
ps3 fanboys: go back to GT5 and that nice YLOD of yours. oh, i'm sorry, GT 5 isn't out yet.

[solsub]

That was the lamest attempt at trolling I've ever seen.

[ScoobyDrew]

please... the YLOD only happens about 10 percent of the time and the RRoD happens 54 percent of the time... xbox fails

[gamingisnotacrime]

"Over the past few weeks, we've given you excellent reasons to stop supporting both Sony and Nintendo. Well, now it's Microsoft's turn"

Excellent reasons, LMAO

They got dumber by the days going by.
This is more ridiculous than the PS3 one, and that one was garbage

[bjornbear]

Its just as silly when they do it with MS....

[AngryTypingGuy]

#2 - You Have Epilepsy. How did that make it all the way up to number 2? I can think of plenty of reasons to dislike any console more than "you have epilepsy".

[cortexspeed]

i really got tired of this type of articles although i have a ps3 and prefer it than any other console but i also respect Xbox 360 and Wii cause they all contribute to the gaming industry development any a way or another i hope they stop writing these articles and write about the gaming industry only

[marc 1975]

decent comment for once

[DuneBuggy]

Wow.. I couldnt even finish the list.You dont like the external power supply? Your not sure if you like the games available on the 360?? You love the new PS3 slim?? You dont like the controller? It makes the PS3 look bad (concerning multiplats)?
Everyone I tried to read was either subjective or petty IMO.

[Double Toasted]

Sony fans complained of the list that was biased against their preferable console and now they are complaining about the bashing of the console they hate? Really...you all need to step back, analyze and check yourself...seriously, you're pathetic!!!!

[ScoobyDrew]

sublimitively this whole article was trying to kick the ps3 even more... we all know that GameDaily are all xbox fanboy's. SO when we get a VALID argument towards the 360 then we will be satisfied

[Nexy]

PS3 fans sooo disappointed as someone made fun of them instead of giving them ammo for famboy wars... :-)

[marc 1975]

i used to love n4g but not no more ya all sad now ..

[marc 1975]

1 disrupts ya social life
2 your kids will blah cannot be bothered

[Yomiro]

Wow, after all this time the x360 is been out...he realized why the xbox owners should ditch their machines.

[chewmandinga]

half of these reasons seem to be aimed at taking a knock at ps3...how strange

[11 360s and counting]

I don't get why people praise achievements and say trophies are worthless. What is the difference. You continuously add on to a gamerscore that is completely pointless. IT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!! Maybe someone could explain to me why achievements are so much more glorious in the eye's of the public.

[ZombieAutopsy]

because it pops up telling you on the bottom of the screen instead of the top???? /sarcasm

but seriously i think theyre both lame for the reason that alot of people are obsessed with them, but at the same time their good because theyll try to get you to do things you might not normally do while playing a game.

[Kiroe]

26. With the Xbox 360 out of the picture you will think that your 3rd party games look great on the PlayStation 3.

[ScoobyDrew]

ok i'm on the ps3's side but i have to say half of these arguments are pretty lame. although i do agree that ps3's are the better system

[Knightofelemia]

I agree to some of the reasons but thats going over board the fact every console has the epilepse warning on the instruction manual. I personally would have added the fact Microsofts customer service sucks you get people who barely speak english that screw up everything an they always give people the run around. I get better customer service with Sony and Nintendo who are willing to figure out the problem Microsoft just passes a person off to a supervisor.

[adsaidler]

WORST-ARTICLE-EVER
most of the "reaons" don't make sense

[koikomoru]

So i should abandon my xbox and get a wii? Pay for their crappy games and the millions of peripherals that it has?

Or shell out the cash for a ps3 that has most of the games that I already own, but just a few i'd want to buy, or for the blue ray player i already have?

No thanks. I had my xbox refurbished and have had NO problems with it. I found if you install the game to the hard drive, it runs much cooler. And Netflix streaming in HD, yes please. I'm good thanks.

[JJFNIGHTS80]

RROD NOUGH SAID.
