My roomie got Skyrim for PS3 because in his ongoing crusade against my 360, which he feels is inferior, he wont play the 360.

Theres only one flatscreen, and hes now addicted. Now playing time is decided by a round of Super Smash Bros brawl or me going "whatever dude, i'm going to the gym" or just practicing.

In comparison, i see no difference between the PS3 version and the 360 version, both are damn near identical.


Also, my mond could barely process this...he plays in 3rd person :|

    Yeah, the PS3 is graphically a smidge better.....but not that noticeable, it's all about what exclusives you want with the system I guess.

    Skyrim in 3rd person?? Can't do it! LOL I play it on my laptop.

    Sorry your roommate is being stupid over a console though!

    PS3 could be better, tho im probably legally blind so im a horrible judge on that.


    Dude,...just got in from doing laundry late @ night, he's still going full blast. This is at least a 6hr sesh and counting. I could go to sleep to the sounds of him leveling up and opening another Mountain Dew soda.

    I usually prefer 3rd person games but on Fallout and Skyrim (or Oblivion for that matter) it just does not work at all. The character just floats around.

    When I first got Skyrim I might have played it for over 24 hours in total over the first weekend..... I haven't touched it in days now so I know I can put it down. I don't think of it at all.....I could stop whenever I want......maybe......

    I out play my hubby for sure. But I am going through withdrawals right now as our Xbox has internally combusted and no longer works. Apparently I need a new one according to Microsoft haha

    Guess it couldn't handle the 86 hours played on Skyrim

    My boyfriend originally pre-ordered it for himself for PC. I knew nothing about the Elder Scrolls series. But when it came, he was at work.

    So I was like, "Okay, I'll install it for him." Which changed to, "The graphics look neat, maybe I'll try making a character."

    ...And then I binged the heck out of it.

    Okay this was a first, we both were chillin out. Recovering from respective chipotle burrito coma's. Then it happened.

    w/o noticing each other and Skyrim on the brain, we both reach forward -- he grabs his PS3 control and i grab my 360 control....showdown!

    Round 1: Fight!
    Paper rock scissor duel! Winner take all, one hand roulette.
    Literally three straight draws. Paper. Scissor. Paper.

    Round 2: Fight!
    Pushup contest
    Me: 51
    Him: 24

    K.O.!!!


    But he had a ****ty day w/ his baby mama drama so i gracefully stepped aside and let him play, i got some good Skyrim in last night.

    As someone who owns both a PS3 and a 360, I definitely favor the PS3 as a system. However, there's not much difference in individual games between the 360 and the PS3. Although I can understand why a PS3 gamer would want to keep playing it on the PS3, to keep up with the trophies.

    I'm on hour 120 now, and luckily the gf has been very patient with my Skyrim addiction. I'm happy to say that except for the first week I had it, it hasn't stood in the way that much of my fitness.
