Hey, I have been playing minecraft on the xbox since it came out. bought the PC version but don't like playing on the laptop. So i'm thinking about switching over to playstation. I figure people with PS 3 will probably go to PS 4 so I'm wondering has anyone here played on both consoles and can tell me about any differences they noticed in the people playing, hardware, updates etc..
I have run 24/7 servers on xbox and played with hundreds of people. Minecraft would be THE reason to buy another console.
You might want to peruse the ps3 forum first. I've read many threads with people complaining about why the ps3 lags behind the 360 in texture packs, and several other things.
Since the xbox and ps3 versions are (almost) identical (and so will the One and ps4 versions) you won't gain a thing by switching.... unless you just want a ps3/4 because....why? You think everyone else has one?
Personally, I have both a 360 and ps3.
The ps3 works great.... as a door stop.
Nuff said.
Xbox one I can understand since it will run a different version of MC than the 360, but ps3 is just horrible, the controllers are too small!
I'm an Xbox Fan until the end however saying that PS3 is horrible because the controllers are too small is a personal opinion and not one that should be taken into consideration when Baldur is deciding what console to go to.
I'd say go with Xbox because it looks nicer and in no way is that just an opinion, that's science.
I'll let you in on a little secret. It was a joke.
Although it is also true, I am very familiar with both consoles since I use both frequently. Once you get used to a 360 controller the simple fact is that the ps: controller is too small by comparison, it just doesn't sit right in your hands.
I agree PS controllers feel weird to me and my thumbs always slide off the sticks. I imagine trying to double tap to run would be horrible for me.
I think this thread is about griefing and the simple answer is no: you won't get better types of players on PS3 and the game will be the same: if not more boring since you are not used to it.
That is part of it yes. The playstation console was first released around 1995? and the xbox around 2001? and since people typically stick with name brands I was thinking maybe playstation players may be an average of 5? years older maybe and therefore more mature.

Not a chance. Most of them don't have mics, so that's a plus.
Even though the last playstation I have had is #2, and I own a 360 now, I have to say you will more likely get the same type of crowd no matter what console you are on. After all the world is that diverse to always have a mixture within each group of people. At least that is my reasoning.
And based on that alone, there really wouldn't be much difference in getting a ps3; beyond the fact it has blu ray. Some have had good experiences with that system and some have had bad. It is the same with each console throughout the years. It really just sums up to preference more than anything else.
In a way probably like others have mentioned, better to get the next gen, either will do; so when it does come out you will actually have a difference from the prior in the game itself, even if minor at first, but eventually things that the old gen can not handle will appear on the next gen.
I tend to think in the long run of things, and right now for me I will not be buying the next gen until the game library is more fleshed out, or has more than a few select titles that I like. I choose system based on the gamebase that each has. Quite a few are going to both systems, and also same note quite a few are exclusive. So I more gauge on what I have more interest in game-wise. Better off that way then who will be on this or that... At least that is the way I think.

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
I had a 360, then my blue ray player went out. Got a ps3 to kill two birds, but the ps3 part sucked. Fired my ps3 up again on a whim a few days ago and it was.... painful.
I have a One now, blue ray problem solved. (Can't wait for the One version).
If you're even thinking about getting another system, don't goof around- get a next gen. Why buy a 10-yr system?

The people that whined the most about the Xbox One policies when they first came out are most likely the same people that will grief you if you move onto the PS4. Whatever you've purchased on Xbox 360 will only cost you $5 to get back on Xbox One (minus the cost of the system itself or any mashups except Halo).
If you go to PS3...
- You'll buy a PS3.
- You'll have to repurchase the game and all add-ons.
- You'll buy the PS4.
- You'll purchase the upgrade for $5.
You'll essentially end up spending $120 more just to have access to PS exclusive skins and textures.
