I went over to Playstation.com and posted my impartial feelings about the system (as well as my impressions of the 360 to show where I was coming from). It was meant as a post to see if any other PS3 users experienced the problems i had..

Well after drafting the post for 30 minutes, it was deleted right away... They don't allow comparisons, at all. What a LOAD OF CRAP. Sorry Sony, but what is your site, North Korea? I'm now getting VERY close to calling it quits on the PS3, just too many strikes against it right now.

Try the same on the 360 boards?

I had planned to, but they deleted the thread before I copied and pasted it. I'm not writing it again. I decided to go to the PS3 forums first because i had more issues with the PS3 and hoped they could be resolved there.

What do you expect? You were posting on Sony's official board. The same thing happened to my friend when he posted some complaints about 360 during launch.

Why don't you try here instead?

But i wasn't really posting complaints for the hell of it, i was posting observations and asking people for solutions to them. Also, they say the reason it was deleted was because I mentioned the 360 in my post.

Anyway, i digress, since i cant get the demos to download, im thinking of renting a game for the ps3.

Question for those with the 360:

When doing full screen visuals during music - Is there a way to view artist/song at the same time?

can't do any of that on the 360? The streaming was one of my biggest issues, which can be done on the 360 and not on the ps3.

from OSX? oh my bad then. microsoft likes to lock things, and with no macs, i had to rely on assumptions.
oh and besides, Sony may work on that with a firmware update. i really wouldn't doubt it considering some of the things they already plan on adding.

Thats the problem i have right now though, i don't want to buy something with the hope the feature might be available in the future, cause if its not, i waited all that time for nothing.

then forget about the feature and it'll be a surprise later?

seriously, then I guess you have convinced yourself for the 360. I don't support that decision, as besides the nicer controller and one game that I do like (Gears of War), 360 doesn't have what I want in a console, and feels more like a PC than anything, minus the keyboard&mouse combo of a PC. my roomies have it and it feels, sort of like an empty shell. the PS3 is not complete, and I agree it may not be something to rush out and get at the moment. but the 360 was the same way, but they improved things with updates and more game titles began to be released as it aged.

whatever you decide, hope you are happy with it.


I believe it was Sony themselves that said the PS3 is built like a PC. ^_^ Also i've seen alot of people buy a ps3, install Linux, and thats their PC, LOL.
And for clarification, the 360 does stream from MAC, but it requires a small program to be installed on your MAC, and it works quite wonderfully.
