We have a crazy competition where each of us will argue why our setup is better than the other.

He has a 60gb PS3 that's backwards compatible.

I have a 120gb PS3 Slim (not BC), xbox 360, and PS2.

His argument is that his set up is best b/c it's "more convenient" to be able to play PS2 and PS3 games on one system.

I argue that even though I'd have to use a different system to play PS2 games, which I rarely play nowadays anyway, I do have access to the xbox and xbox 360 libraries.

ok, so which setup is best?

He's an idiot... of course you win. Why?? because regardless of having 1 single console for what you have to own 2, he's missing the 360. Maybe he's not interested on its games, but still you have acces to a wider selection of games.

It is just common sense that you have it better. Your friend is just trying to convince you because he is jealous of what you have.

Using your friend's logic, the Wii would be the best set up. It's an N64, NES, SNES, GC, Wii, and a few other consoles all wrapped into one. But your friend's logic is flawed.

Uh, dude, you totally win. Yeah, so the PS3 he has has BC (which is awesome!) but still. You have a PS3 AND a 360. Not to mention that it isn't too hard to play your PS2. BC should only be a big deal to people without a PS2. Otherwise, it's not too big of an issue. Your setup totally smokes his. Hell, I wish I had a PS3 sitting next to my Xbox 360. :P

Neither of you have a tv or anything? Usually that is part of a setup so you both lose I guess.

If that bc ps3 had like a 500GB hdd in it, then maybe. But just one console brand alone against 2 console brands, the later always wins (assuming current gen)

This is the worse question ever. Tell your friend that he is a idiot. I mean if you have $1000 in ones and he has a $100 bill does that make him have more money?

If it was just ur ps3's vs each other, then he has the better option. However, since u also have a ps2 and 360, u take the cake. Seriously, this is pretty obvious.

I couldn't care less about backwards compatibility on a console because I bought it for new games. So, basically, you win.

that may be the dumbest argument ever, since you have a 360 therefore you win.

Now if its just the PS3 we're talking about, then you lose. the 60GB PS3 is the best version any ps3 user can get. but yeah, dumb argument on your friend's part.

This is the easiest thread I've had all year.

Obviously your Friend has the better setup.

  1. He has a 60gig PS3! :shock:
  2. 60gigs play PSONe AND PS2 Games! :o
  3. 60gigs have Memory Card slots ;)
  4. 60gigs have the Clas.sic look to them, beating all.:D
  5. Your friend has has his PS3 longer, so he probably played more amazing PS3 games!:!:
  6. He is a true gaming fan, he has a launch PS3!:idea:
  7. You don't have the possibility of a NEW OS, your friend does!:cry:
  8. Your Friend RULEZ!!!!:)
  9. You friend has enjoyed the Power of Blu-Ray before you, possibly amassing a sweet BLU collection!:x
  10. Your friend has FOUR USB ports, not a measly two!:roll:
  11. I never read the rest of the OP, what do you have in your setup TC? :question:
  12. Sorry about my jumping the gun.:oops:

Easy as pie.8)

lmfao thanks for the responses guys.. yea, I know it's obvious but now I can show him written proof of over 25 people agreeing with me lol.. he knows he's wrong too but he thinks that somehow this irks me that I don't have BC on my ps3 lol.. yea we have TVs which I should have included as well. we both have 22" LCDs 1080p.. mine is samsung and his is Vizio. The only difference is that his has regular composite ports and mine doesn't which is part of his argument. He's like "ohh you have to go play on a SD tv to play ps2 games while I can play them on one tv in 480p along with ps3 games".... and I don't even play ps2 games anymore. Besides, I think his LCD doesn't have better side-viewing than mine. :P

3 systems better than 2 in the case. you can play many more games than he can because of the 360. and if your ps3 ever needs repairs you still can play ps2 and 360 games.

Neither is better. If he has what he needs and you have what you need then it's a tie. He doesn't want/need a a 360 such like myself and his PS3 plays all PS games. You can play 360 games and all PS games which is what you want. It's a tie!

No matter what any PS3 fanboys say in your thread TC, the Xbox 360 basically stomps your friend's argument. As I stated before your friend is jealous because you have the Xbox 360.

Yea. He's the ultimate PS3 fanboy. He claims there are no 360 exclusives worth playing and bashes xbox live. I thought the nonsense would end once I got the PS3 as well, but he just feels like he needs to be better SOMEHOW. lol

depends. Can the 60gig PS3 upscale PS2 games to HD? if so then i'd take the 60gig over the slim + PS2. but seeing as how you also have a 360... yeah you'd still win.
