Which console should I go for give me all the reasons you have got because I cant decide.
As if there is even a comparison, get Xbox 360. Xbox Live is unrivaled, there is a huge line-up of great games coming. Also, there are world acclaimed games out for it such as Gears of War and soon Halo 3. Xbox Arcade is also awesome with many choices of classic and new games, most all online.
Sony is evil, get the Xbox 360. Also I've heard Live is eons ahead of the Playstation Network.
Xbox 360, of course. Plus there are few exclusive games for PS3 (since various games were for the xbox 360 now). Better internet service :)
Yeah I know the 360 is best now but what do you guys think in a year or two, because im not buying both.
Playstation 3 definitely for long terms. I believe the ps3 will last into the next generation for the fact that blu-ray is getting bigger and they already have 1080p. I mean, blu-ray right now can be up to 200 gigs and they are using 50 at most. I mean, if you are looking for longer term, better graphics, compatibility, games that are better than the 360's, etc. get the ps3.
No question about it.
Sony is dying. 360 all the way. Im sorry to say, but comparisons to the PS3 and Xbox have shown that the PS3 has bad BGs and good texture and Xbox has good BG, mediocre texture(except on HD, perfect texture) and good detailing.
360. At the moment, PS3 is offering anything different from the 360 that warrants the extra money both in services or games.
xbox 360 just becouse you dont have to own other microsoft products in order to get the most out of it also xbox has exclusove that will only go to xbox {{{ now if they get a xbox 360 emu on ps3 then im getting a ps3 but till then no way so ny ...}}}
Get a Xbox 360, here are my reasons why:
*Better exclusive Titles: (Halo3, GOW, & many others)
*Many PS3 exclusives are coming to the 360 (Metal Gear Solid 4)
*Xbox Live
*Price
*10 X more 360s then PS3s have been sold so more people to play with.
*HALO 3!!! (this is a good enough reason to get a 360)
Don't forget Guitar Hero and Final FantasyQuote:

You've made the right choice :) Get Gears of War, Xbox Live, and tell me your Gamer Tag!
Yeah I wont have one for about a month, just bought a samsung 27" LCD so I have no money lol.
You should wait and see when the new Xbox 360 is coming out. I would be pretty mad if a better 360 came out a month after I just bought one for the same.
Theres a new xbox 360 coming out?
What new features does it have?

I still have an original 360, so it freezes every 25 minutes....I need to get a new one, but we dont have the money. Dont buy used.
Get 360
Im getting a PS3, so i can sell it to get a 360 and some extra dosh. :p
I bought my used at GAME, its comes with a years grantee.
Yeah im just going to save up until I can buy it brand new with a game or two, most likely GOW and a good racing game.
360 if you like a better looking game and playing with others across the globe. Ps3 if you like homebrew and sony technology. Just remember, in the battle of vhs and betamax, sony's beta lost.
I got the pro 360, wireless controller, hd, plus 3 games, kameo, project gotham 3 and some tom clancy horribleness. Why do people insist on making "team" shooters. It's akin to the mmorpg and is destroying a once awesome genre. Mmorpg's and group shooters should be burned.
360 uses less voltage, and has the best graphics of both systems. Ps3 has about 1/8 to 1/5 the power of the 360.
My buddy has a ps3 and he has linux on the hd as well as some homebrew. Both are good choices but it all depends on what you like.
Ps3 will likely have more rpg's but 360 offers a more realistic gaming experience. Shooters, racing, sports all look better on 360.
Oh yeah, Grand Theft Auto 4 hits 360 first. That and Halo 3 should keep you busy until your eyes melt after global warming fully kicks in.
I would get an Xbox 360 before PS3. The xbox 360 has games like Halo and Gears of War. Xbox 360 is less expensive also.
PS3's dont sell very much higher than MSRP on eBay anymore. Sometimes even lower.
Go for PS3, honestly I have both and the PS3 is far, far better. Its more well rounded for media and games, not just games like the 360.
Added to that, the PS3 has technology that will have it being a high end game system for far longer than the 360. The internal technology is so advanced, current games are only using a very small percentage of the processor power.
The games that are 360 exclusive, yeah a few are good, but not as good as the ps3 exclusives that will be coming out later on.
And if you're considering homebrew as well, ps3 will be much more capable.
Simply put, if you want whats great right at this moment, get a 360, but if you want something thats good now and will be amazing in the future, go for the ps3. Its a much more worthwhile investment.
There is no point in buying either at the moment, basically sony is getting rocked at the moment losing all its market share to microsoft and nintendo and loosing all 3rd party support so until they "fix" things they will not be for mainstream which is why the earlier systems were popular. The 360 however is a fine console but suffers from a few design problems which will be fixed in a new version of the console that will arrive soon, its most logical to wait for the new version.
I personally cannot see sony breaking even with the ps3 even if they decide to redesign it, they have been losing money majorly and the consoles are collecting dust on store shelves.
I tried to keep a un-biased opinion but sony's dilema this is rather grim at the moment.
Im getting a 360 mainly for it's online gaming, which is meant to be unbeatable.
Im getting it this week when I have some free time, cant wait:D

2. the gpu is no better than the xbox 360's and from what ive seen in 9/10 circumstances the games look worse on the ps3
3. the ps3 has no hardware scaler chip and therefore has problems scaling certain games to 1080i (as promised)
4. the total system bandwith on the ps3 is 48gb/s wheras the xbox 360 has 270+gb/s that means tht the total system bandwith on the ps3 isnt even enough to satisfy the gpu at full load
all in all this adds up2 another target that has been fallen short by sony i would like to congratulate them on lauching a console far too late and being a overpriced piece of s*** and i dont own a xbox 360 before tht crops up i only have my 2 pcs and 2 dreamcasts, i am now waiting on the confirmed xbox 360 elite becausei have seen tht the ps3 is a waste of money
Id rather have a 3rd dreamcast.... no actually i might go with the 360... but only after i had at least once DC :). I'm still struggling myself to find a wii. If i were a tad younger and had more time on my hands I would honestly go with a 360 due to the larger library, the seemingly better 3rd party support (for the moment at least), and the pretty sweet xbox live arcade games, not to mention the tried and true xbox live service. There are some great games on the 360 and there are some interesting upcoming ones too, so there is no sign of them slowing down any time soon either (like the wii seems to be doing for the moment.) If i were you, I would decide based completely on the software and what sort of games interest you. If you base everything on hardware, you might just concider getting something and turn out having a 3 game power brick you never use. Remember, game(S) - (more than one) are what sell a console and what make you proud of your purchase years later.
how many ps3 compared to xbox 360s have hardware problems its some where around 6 million in losses for microsoft dont quote me though i think ps3 might be more interesting for home programming but 360 is way cheaper and can be externally cooled to solve those pesky heat issues though i would go with ps3 all the way i love my original xbox but ps3 seems more stable in terms of hardware
360 is good, but I have rather purchased neither 360 nor PS3 but a Wii!! and I am happy about it!
LOL old thread bumping noobs!!!
I had a Wii but got bored of it...
I got the 360 and play it pretty much every night and never get bored of it. Cant wait for COD4 to come out:)
The PS3 well just aint worth it really, I might get one if bluray win this stupid format war but im hoping HDDVD win because I could just get the addon for the 360...

Lol now I have spam bot advertisers in my thread:rofl: What's next?
ME! I'm next! I'd go with the 360 just for the awesome games that are for purchase NOW for the system and not next year for the PS3. Or you can take your Wii and hit people in the eye with the remote and say the wrist strap broke. If not I'd stick with the 360 for sure.
I'm surprised this thread is generally so positive about the 360. I have got one and I think it is fairly awful, and given the chance I would have held back and waited for a PS3.
My main complaints about it are
1) It is very noisy. You have to have your tv volume up very loud to cover the noise and this is not always an option if you live in a shared flat
2) Most of the games are rubbish*. This is probably also true of the PS3 at the moment but the only XBox 360 game that I think is truely great is Oblivion which is also on the PS3.
3) It crashes sometimes. Not often but at least once every 2 months or so, and I don't use it every day. I have never owned a console before that would just freeze at random
In it's favour, XBox live is good and there are some very nice cheap games you can get from xbox live. Also, the controller is very nice.
I don't know much about the PS3 so do not know how noisy or liable to crash that is, but I doubt it is as bad as the XBox 360.
*I say this because I am not interested in First Person Shooters much. I find them boring. Halo was nice, but the sequel got boring and the third one looks like more of the same to me.
