Which Operating System is Best for BOP?

[House MD 221B]

imho 360, its cheaper, the controller is better, and the joysticks are better, no real diference in picture. I have a 360 and my brother has a PS3 so i've seen both. PS3 is more stable and doesnt over-heat, cus i dont care what MS say they HAVENT fixed it, my brother's elite went up the swanny and that was brand new.

id have to go with the 360.


Fo gameplay etc they both run pretty much the same. Both are HD so the pic will look great. What wins it for the 360 though in my opinion is the multiplayer.....

comunication on xbox live seems to be more fluent than on the ps3. More people on live talk.

Does the ps3 not come with a headset? or does it cost a pretty penny to purchase?

Soooo....

I'm leaning towards an xBox 360 and a T-Flite Hotas Stick. Proper Rudder (analog) is more important to me than POV. I think I can live with 4 position POV.

Of course, if they correct that, I'll have it all...

I'm an old PC based Flight sim player, from the olden days. This will be my first console.

I have both, and will be getting BoP for both 360 and PS3. And all this talk of screen tearing on the PS3, I don't doubt it happens. But so far, I have not experienced it once. Maybe it's my TV, but I've just got a small little 23" and nothing on my PS3 has had screen tearing.

It happens all the time in cockpit for me I thought it was the demo I downloaded from europe, so I deleted it and downloaded it again from US and it still does it.

What is type of TV? Mine hasn't done it at all. Maybe its just your TV getting old, but it could be just the pixilation or something? (I'm not really a TV expert, I just plug it in and watch )

I bought my 52" phillips LCD 1080p last year.
Several other ps3 people have had the same issue.

You already got it? Where are you from?

That would be bogus if it is just the ps3 version that is doing this. Like SovietAce says he has no problems and several other people as well. It looks like it is a mixed bag.

If you have both consoles I'd opt for the 360.

The performance differences are negligible but I guess it's subjective as to how much screen tear you can take.

In multiplayer I personally perfer the quiet of PSN as opposed to the constant 12yr old "urban" anger on Live. I'm guessing a game like this won't attract that mentality but you never know.
