Does the platform matter? PS3/Xbox360... It's not a war!

Speaking as a PS3 user, I think you'll find just as many PS3 fanboys as XBox fanboys so I don't know that it's fair to characterize it as a XBox issue. Let's be honest, you'll find jerks on both systems. But your underlying point is dead on - it shouldn't matter or be a basis of dictating whose opinion matters.

Almost everything I've seen on BA tells me the site is intended to be inclusive; XBox, PS3, noob, experienced, Paradise or Revenge, etc. That is one of the appeals of the site. It doesn't try to be exclusive and doesn't have the holier than thou attitude of some sites. I think it's a lot harder to maintain a site like that than it is some of the free for alls that allow personal insults and general idiocy.

Instances of personal attacks and elitism are pretty rare here. Hopefully we can keep it that way.

But, I do like the flavour of both.

I don't want to restart anything here as Xandu locking down the comments on the thread in question was the right thing to do, but I will say that the negative response was due to you ripping the ssip out of one of our longstanding members and friends, and not really anything to do with console wars.

That being said, welcome to BurnoutAholics and I hope you continue to post here, following ofcourse our terms of use.

Up until PS2/Xbox I always owned every console, I had a snes and a megadrive, a saturn and an N64, a Dreamcast, gamecube and a PS1. I think the main difference with this generation is online play and cost, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 seem to me to be much more significant investments then previous generations, and with online play I think people are more likely to pick one system and stick to that one, then to have both. Trying to play with 2 different friends lists on 2 different consoles will take a lot of time and juggling. I think the fact that we have friends lists, friends in fact who share the love of the same console as us also leads to people being a little defensive, as it is more than just a console now.. it is a community.

The Burnout community should transcend console differences, platform differences even as we also include hand-held and PC gamers. Whatever platform you play Burnout on, you are welcome here!

I think you guys are all making a big deal out of nothing.... Just ignore the BS you see here or the other forums... Its all in Fun....

There is no dening that the ps3 is a much better console than the 360, and i totally agree that we shouldn't argue about it (whats the point!). but you obviously have a chip on your shoulder about it, for somebody who "doesn't care" about which is the better console you certainly have a lot to say about it.

"I personally don't know one Xbox360 owner who hasn't said "PS3s are shit because.." Met lots of 360 users have you? or is it just narrow mindedness? only hearing what you want to hear.

Anyhow, for someone who doesn't want a flame war you seen to like throwing kindling on the fire. sometimes its better not ask a question like that if you "don't want a war".

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

I have a question Zombs and Xan....

We Regs do tend to flame each other a lot... But Thats Not How many of Us look at it tho... I mean, when I flame GT and GT flames me, we do that not cause we dont like each other, but because its for fun and competition. In all honesty, we throw out those words as kind of respect for each other... GT may say otherwise, but he's just trying to Front for a Dunkin Donut Taco Snortin *****head.....

But even still, when I say that I dont disrespect GT......

When I say that about other members who Ive known, such as Kev, Psych, You Two.... I dont disrespect you guys either... The way I see that Comment about X = Noob... Its just meant in a Joking Way....

So Because I say some of that stuff, is that still subject to the topic being closed? Although the people I address it to knows enough that its all in a joking way...... Is that the reason why the topic was closed to begin with?

I have a PS3..... and I have PS2 Revenge with it ...

And I dont play it cause Its not the controls, or graphics... but cause Ive met people that Im cool with in the 360 more.....

And I havent said anything about the systems... Other than one liners about not caring about it.... cause I dont.... Both systems are good, and I own PS3 specific games such as MGS 4, and controlling Sackboy is great which makes my gaming exp better than just playing Xbox alone...

The comments were closed as several comments were against the Terms of Use.

Although, there is some leniance on comments where we are aware of the relationship between the members and know that there is no offence taken or received, not everybody who reads the comments know that there is no harm and may copy the sentiments thinking that if it is allowed by one, it should be allowed by all.

OK my point! Flame wars are not tolerated, even if Nero and GT are just flaming each other it reflects on the content of the site as a whole and we do like to try to keep the content slightly higher then the gutter, please refrain from pointless flaming, I think that is what the xbox.com forums are for!

Please use the PM's and not the comments to reply personally to individual members. Also, please do not use drug references. I have edited your GT comment. Please try to keep your comments family friendly.

Can I flame Kevlar? I'll try to make it as Rated G as Possible.....

You better watch out, Xan might ban you when he reads this!!

That will added to the quote of the day......

You are gonna get us both banned and the forum shut down (again).

On a serious note, Nero is a funny guy and i can see how some people don't get or are unable to see his humour, but zombs is right about people coming on here and not realising that the posts are in jest, and thinking it is acceptable to slag off whoever they please.

so stop being a kcoc Nero, its not big and its not clever, (dyslexsic dwarf).

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

Strictly G Rated Comments.... Thats gonna be hard.....

After all GT does "Open *From* 3AM or Later".... and He does His Part to Make Sure "America Runs on Dunkin"..... 

And Kev, You Crack Me Up!!!........
