Topic	Do you like the ps3 more or the ps4?
Far-Queue 02/28/18 6:25:00 AM #7:	ParanoidObsessive posted... I bought a PS4 but never saw a need to ever own a PS3. I owned an Xbox 360 but have yet to see a single need to buy a Xbox One. That pretty much sums up my view of recent gaming history. As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft basically shot themselves in the foot this generation, and burned off about 12 years worth of accumulated good will with constant fuck-ups and general asinine shenanigans. If they want to win me back next generation, they pretty much have to pull a miracle out of their ass while Sony trips over its own dick and lands face-first in the mud. Not that a scenario like that is impossible - Sony fucking up with the PS3 is pretty much what turned me from a proud PS2 owner into someone who loved both the Xbox and Xbox 360 more in the first place (and before that, what turned me from someone who absolutely loved the SNES as the greetest console evar into someone who leapt onto the PS1 and never gave a single shit about the N64). I'm more than willing to "switch sides" if a console does what I want it to do and provides more of the games I want to play - I've never been much of a "brand loyalist". Pretty much how I felt until I got my 4th RROD. Then I jumped back over to Sonys side. To Microsofts credit, they handled the RROD situation about as well as they could have. Always offered replacements. But I got fed up after the fourth time. I had tried the towel trick to attempt to squeeze more life out of the last one, but the towel trick heated up the console so much that the tamper seal shifted. It was obvious that the sticker wasnt actually tampered with, the glue had heated so it had slid over. But Microsoft saw it as being tampered with and denied the claim on that unit. Think I was unlucky, though. Most people say theyve had two consoles die on them at most. And full disclosure: my first PS3 died, too. Fairly early on, at that. Last gen was an absolute shit show as far as hardware quality goes. --- https://i.imgur.com/ZwO4qO2.gifv Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light...
