Xbox 360 vs. PS3?

[BlackXIV]

I guess this topic depends on your gaming habits. I've heard the PS3 online sux (though I have never played on it) and thats mostly what I do. I have had every version of the 360 currently the Elite. I have old school games like TMNT 1989 arcade, double dragon, galaga, doom, duke nukem, and many more that are downloaded onto my hard drive, and I still have about 95 gig left. My buddies that have PS3's say its hard to find matches. I am trying to convert them to 360's. It just depends.

Hardly any lag (maybe a spike here or there every few hours for no more than 5-10 seconds).

However, my xbox experience with the wireless adapters has not changed. I will never play xbox on wireless unless they send me a new adapter for free so that I can experience it working correctly for a month, then I'd buy it.

My friend brought his PS3 over to play rockband and some other games online and the wifi was just as bad. Both systems went through the same router that I have my computer going through, and my router sits next to my tv while my computer is some 10 feet away. If there is interference of the signal from it being close to the tv, I would think that my computer would be affected also. The wifi from his house is just as bad and he has a completely seperate isp, so it's not comcast cable's problem either.

Maybe liquid has an exception to the rule, but both my xbox and adapter were most likely the newest models as I got my 360 at the end of september last year (Right before the launch of halo 3.

The problem isn't the wireless receiver but it is your wireless router.... In order to play game on-line wirelessly (PC or consel) with hassle free gaming with no spikes or timed out connections, you need a wireless-N Gigabyte gaming router...it will run you $150-$195 I use this one


Note to everyone- If your going to run a wireless network throughout your home use IEEE802.11n
IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab- Sucks

IEEE 802.11a/b/g- Only good for WiFi hotspots

Hey mindz... I also have that problem. my PC is connected wireless and interferes with my 360 connecting to Live. For some reason my laptop can constanly stay connected and not interfere. I disable the wireless connection on my PC when not using it and enable it when i need to.
