PS3 or Xbox360

[MetallicBlood]

I have an oppertunity to get one of these plus a game, but a lot of people tell different stories about each console, I'm not sure what to get. So I'm asking you guys, what's better to get? I hope I'm not breaking any rules.... This is my second post ^^;;;

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

Well, personally, I'd go with the PS3. That's just because that's what I have and it's never let me down. My brother has gone through 2 X-boxes in the time I've had my PS3, and my PS3 has never funked up on me. It's more expensive, sure, but the online is free. There aren't a lot of great games currently, so really you're investing in potential for future games, but the games they do have are very good. Even though it lacks some exclusive titles (I really wish Mass Effect would be ported) the exclusives PS3 has are pretty great. Heavenly Sword comes to mind - excellent game, chock full of replay value and unlockables. As is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune which is now on my top 5 game list.

The X-box is just a big freaking piece of malfunctioning hardware. I play my brother's, but I don't see myself owning one in the future.

PS3 without a doubt. Why? Cos I had 4 360's that all got the RROD on me within the space of a year yet my PS3 has never put a foot wrong. As for not currently many good games for PS3 have you been living under a rock? Call of Duty 4, Fifa 08, GT5: Prologue, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Army of Two, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 the list goes on and on. Yeah we get the odd crap game like Turning Point *shudders* but most PS3 games coming out now are fantastic. Also with blu-ray winning the format war it shows Sony know which horse to bet on.

Lets not forget we have Metal Gear Solid 4, Haze, Killzone 2, Final Fantasy, Motorstorm 2 and more all on the way.

You get what you pay for thats why Xbox is so cheap cos it will die on you sooner or later.

I have had my Xbox 360 for over a year, and nothing has happened at all.
Also, blu-ray is only useful if you can blow a ton of money for an HDTV.

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

In all honesty, HDTVs are getting less and less expensive. Sure, the larger ones are still pretty costly, but when you get into the smallest HDTV size range, they can be pretty reasonable.

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

Its close... PS3 is incredibly larger than I first thought it was. It also doesn't have as many good games as i thought... Graphics leave something to be desired as well... but PS3 comes with a ton of extra features, a handful of good games, but hardly any good exclusives as well.

Xbox 360 looks pretty lame, but its portable enough to get it around. It still crashes like once a month, but its still pretty good. Xbox 360 also has a wider array of good games, XBL is relatively popular and extremely fun.

To me, Xbox is renowned for its kick-ass games and playability, but PS3 is known for its outstanding features...

I'll have to go with the Xbox.

And to the people complaining about the RROD - Tried keeping it in a open area so it can vent properly? And don't move it around suddenly, especially if it has a game in it... Be gentle.

Xbox 360, because i buy game systems for the *gasp*....get ready for it....................GAMES!!!!

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

And here I buy game systems that don't break every month or so. Silly me to want to actually have something to play the games on.

I NEVER had my Xbox crash before.
And I've had it for more than a year now.
Plus, I actually have games for it.

If I had the PS3, all I would use it for would be the DVD player, because it has all **** games.

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

My brother is on his second, my friend is on his fourth, my other friend is on his sixth.

So, I think they far outweight the single sturdy system you own.

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

Maybe your friend shouldn't play with four discs in the holder at once.

I keep telling him, but will he listen?

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

Both has strengths and weaknesses. Personnally, I'd go for the 360, but don't take my opinion into account since I don't own a PS3. Graphics seems the same, but PS3 has Blu-ray and never craps out on you (unless you are really unlucky and it was already defected), but the 360 has a wide variety of games, most of them are Live enabled.

Re: PS3 or Xbox360

Only reason why the 3****ty has better games is because its been out for longer and stupid people don't notice that. The ps3 online is FREE, might as well waste some extra cash to get one cause the more you pay for xbox live then the more you'll see that you waste more money on the 3****ty than the ps3, so it comes to the question.... which one is the real money spender? I myself own a ps3 so anyone wanna hit it up on Resistance or anything (Ill buy it to kick your ass) then add me Fluff_Daddy
