Console War Friday #1

Posted by Anonymous Friday, April 4, 2008 5 comments


This will seem worse than you think.

First off, Sony's side: The PS3.

--Dualshock 3. Contains long awaited rumble but keeps the (sometimes terrible) motion functionality of the Six-Axis controller. Since this feature should have been here LONG ago, this only scores the PS3 a 3/5(minus one for coming soon). (2/5)
--Metal Gear Solid 4 Beta. Something that I'm dying to need but only lasting for o so long. Available to download on April 17, this Beta will feature the multi player aspects of the game and will last from April 21 to May 5. 5/5(minus one for coming soon). (4/5)
--Warhawk's 2nd Expansion pack. 4/5(minus one for coming soon) (3/5)
--No DLC on the Store this week. Minus one.
--Home planned to come out this April. 4/5(minus one for coming soon) (3/5)(Just to add a note that this is something I am personally excited for.)


Now, Microsoft's side: The Xbox 360.

--Halo 3 Heroic DLC turns free. 3/5.
--CoD4 Map pack released. Contains Chinatown, Killhouse, Broadcast, and Creek. 5/5.
--Forge filters. Seem to be awesomes, but since this doesn't seem as big the PS3 news, this only gets a 2/5(minus one for coming soon). 1/5
--Lag issues for Xbox Live(Didi knows about this for RSV2). Sadly a minus one.


For now, there is only a war between X360 and PS3, no Wii. As I think I have to be responsible for this(since it's kinda obvious of who's defending who(Didi X360, Savage PS3)), I will be focusing on the Wii for just a little bit. If nothing happens next week, I switch back to these two.


Current Scores:

PS3: 11.
X360: 8.



I am also surprised. I am also surprised.

The wars end tomorrow night at 8:30/C. So please comment and tell me something of importance I have missed and I will rate it's importance. I will also accept any reasons to boost any of these reason's scores. So comment NOW!

[UPDATE-As of 12:51 PM] Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack announcement trailer, pack coming out the 15th. 5/5 (minus one for coming soon) (4/5) For XBOX 360

Updated scores:
PS3: 11
X360: 12


It is getting very close!!! And please post reasonable reasons. This won't end until tonight!


Yes. It is true. The map pack was delayed until April 10th, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, Infinity Ward and Microsoft managed to find some to get the certification done early and, well, here they are! That is my understanding of what happened, not sure if that is what happened, but that is what I understand.

I did though, hear about it releasing early this morning last night on X-Play! I was just to lazy to make a post about it. GJ Didi. I'm going to go weep in the corner of my bathroom now.


Kaillif lied once again. The Variety Map-Pack for Call of Duty 4 was released today for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 for 800 microsoft pionts or $10. Now I can't say I got it the first day, but there still is halo 3
