I've been playing on my 360 for the past 5 or so years, before that I had a PS2 and PS1, but I was never very great at the games for the most part if memory serves me correctly. So for those 5 years, the 360 was my console. In the past month though, the laser in the disc tray gave me some issues so I dismantled it and now it's laying around taken apart. I got a PS3 so I could play all the games I had not before for the next few years before I felt like I should upgrade to a next-gen console, and I'm really liking it so far.
I got a 250GB Slim "Redesign", and it's fantastic so far. It's quiet as all hell, it sometimes makes so little noise that I have to put my ear right next to it to hear the inner workings, the cables for operation are slim and not eye-catching, whereas the gigantic power brick and annoying cables for the 360 are nowhere to be seen now and the area around my TV is much less cluttered, and the UI and overall feel of it in-session is pleasing to look at.
There do seem to be a lot of random options on the system menu for it, but overall I like how it's setup a lot more than how the 360 UI was. There aren't adds everywhere, and I can easily and quickly navigate without lag and such. Plus, it's wireless so no more ethernet cable for a good long while. And most surprising of all, is that I'm already really capable at using the new controller and buttons, only took me around an hour to get adjusted then I was playing like I had always had a Playstation even though it's been years since I last touched one.
Overall, I now like PlayStations more considering how great it is on my first day of playing, feel free to talk about any new developments on your end as well, I have high hopes for the PS4 and I think this just made up my mind later on.

Just because you like something doesn't mean you're a fanboy.
-
Liking a system doesn't make you a fanboy.

Ya, I don't get why people hate the ps controller, I have large hands and I find the controller comfortable.. Also same for interface, I mean its clean, what's not to like. Btw they released some new pictures of ps4 interface and it looks really good. Still has that fresh clean look :)

Prepare for hate.

So you're saying that now you will go out of your way to berate anything Xbox related and bolster up your beloved console? That's what a PS4 fanboy is, I'd choose my words more wisely if I were you OP.
-
So you're comparing an old Xbox 360 to a new PS3? Have fun with that.
-
It's a great console, no doubt. I still can't adjust to the controller, though, especially with having the d-pad to the upper left and the two analog sticks side-by-side.

Being a fanboy is not a good thing. If you said, "I think I have become a Playstation fan" then your ok. "Fanboy" is a derogatory term. It's not a good thing to be [i]that[/i]. Its like saying "I think I have become a Playstation dumbass."

In pretty sure you dont need ps+ for online play
-
There aren't even that many ads on XBL... PS+ is pretty fresh, though.
-
If that's what you like then fair enough. It doesn't affect me, so I'm not going to try to stop you.

I have always been a playstation fan, but i still play and like xbox's, it's just that after i get a playstation, i don't really need anything else. The exclusives are amazing, multiplayer is getting better, and each month with PS+, you get so many free games! I do play xbox's at the store and at my friends house, but i just don't really want to waste money on one. To be honest, this was the first time i was going to get and xbox instead of a playstation, but surprising after E3, i pre ordered a PS4. I was nervous that my friends were going to get the XB1 instead, but, right now, i don't know anyone who is getting an XB1. So i'm glad a got a PS4. So if you do decide to go playstation, i doubt you will be disappointed you made the switch back! :)

How much is the online for both next generation systems.
-
Sounds like you always were.
-
I still think the Xbox One s the best. It has more features and it comes packaged with a Kinect 2 but if you're not interested in any of those things then that's good because you can get a PS4 with better graphics for $100 US less.
-
And another lost Microsoft soul sees the light. Anyway, and to top it off, the SMB ui has never had major changes to it since launch. Unlike XBL where there is a new UI every 6 months or so. And no advertisements at all

ITT: An OP who doesn't know what the word 'fanboy' means.
-
The UI is cleaner than the Xbox's for sure, but overall I enjoy doing the bulk of my gaming on the 360. My playstation is for blu rays.
-
At heart I'm a PS fanboy Well not so much a fanboy but I always liked Playstation more than Xbox, even though I mainly play Xbox
-
I got a 500gb around January, love it. The UI is clean, PS+ is awesome, and I'm loving the exclusives. Definitely wish I got one earlier in the generation.
-
yeah people hate the UI for the PS3 but i like it a lot better than the 360. no ads to eat up my tiny bandwidth :)
