• has better online capabilites

Con's

• online isn't free
• doesn't play blu-ray

Basicly, if you enjoy multiplayer, 360. Want amazing graphics and blu-ray capabilities with the sacrafice of multiplayer gaming, PS3.

 

I'd definitly argu the PS3 has a better upcomming lineup of games.

 

lol i hear that every year, i think a couple times it was you who said it in previous years. When do you really think the PS3 will actually have a better lineup? Next year or 3 years in the future?

It has had a better year for 2 years in a row now.

If we compare all the big hitters exclusives of this year:

PS3:
Killzone 2
InFamous
Uncharted 2
Ratchet & Clank
Demons Soul

vs

Xbox 360:

Halo 3: ODST
Left 4 dead 2
Forza Motorsport 3

There really is no contest

true actually this year was lackluster for the 360.... although i would like to see your list for last year as well since you mentioned "For the last 2 years". TBH though, 2010 looks pretty amazing http://www.vgarabia.com/2009/10/06/5-most-anticipated-xbox-360-exclusives-in-2010/ .... and thats just 5.

Well last year the Playstation 3 had

Metal Gear Solid 4
Valkyria Chronicles
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
Disgaea 3

Where as the Xbox 360 had

Gears of War 2
Left 4 dead
Lost Odyssey
Fable 2
 
I think 2010 does look awesome, I'm curious what Halo Reach will be like.

Uh, yes, it does. The Elite has a 120 GB hard drive. You're thinking about the 360 Arcade, which is not what the OP asked about.

Looks like the PS3 will have Netflix streaming as well.

xbox ftw

I will make this clear and simple.

If you have Online connection (internet) Get the PS3

But other wise, get the 360.

Dam I dont use my own Internet, so my online PS3 gameplay doesnt always work. So iam stuck playing crappy single player games. But once online,,,,,,,------BOOOOOMMMMMM-----,,,,, The PS3 ROCKSSSSSSSSSS

its Free to Play aswell!!!!

I am a current owner of both the Ps3 and the Xbox 360 and here is my personaly opinion.

• PS3 in my opinion is good for people who like action games, RPGs, or Fighters.

1. I have noticed that action games such as Ratchet and Clank, God of War, or Uncharted; Rpgs such as the Disgaea series, Final Fantasy XIII Versus; Fighters such as Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Tekken 6. The best exclusive platform of these genres seem to be on the PS3 but this is just my personal Opinion.
2. There are a handfull of exclusive titles on both the Xbox and the PS3, however many of the Xbox exclusives seem to be aimed more so at online play and the support of xbox live. If you do not have an internet connection on your consoul I would strongly advise purchasing a PS3 I have recently lost my online abilities on my Xbox and Ps3 and truth be told I havent touched my Xbox in almost forever.

• In my opinion the Xbox is best for people who like Shooters.

1. I am not going to lie no matter what any one says the Xbox's biggest selling point has always been shooters most of the hit exclusive games are all shooters that corrospond with online play, such as Halo, Gears of War, Shadowrun, Left 4 Dead. If you are a big fan of shooters the Xbox is the way to go.
2. I would put this up in the ps3 section but I couldnt think of a 2nd point for Xbox. Internally the PS3 is a bit better and so the quality of games comes out a bit better on the PS3 compared to the Xbox.

• Now mind you in todays day in age assuming you are going to get online play I would choose whatever you have the most friends in because if all your friends are on the Xbox getting a ps3 might be a little lonely and vise versa.

1. If you do however have access to online features I would highly recommend getting Xbox live it is one of the best gaming resourcs out their and much better than the PS3 in total connectivity issues and other such things.

i have a delima of my own my gf has a ps3 and i was thinking of barrowing hers and get games for it  or a 360 with games for xmas but ya know if i got a 360 should i bother getting games for both or one ?

You mentioned Halo Reach. What about Halo Wars and Halo: ODST, both of which released in the past year?

It really depends on if you know more people that play PS3 of 360.  Most of my friends play 360, so i tell all my other friends to get it too.  The games aren't too much different, although if you really like certain games that only come on a certain system, pick that system.

PS3- God of War, Metal Gear Solid (previous ones, new one is coming to the box), Little big Planet, Drake's Uncharted, and more various Japanese games.

360- Gears of War, Halo, Anything made by Vault (Portal, TF2, Half-life), Braid,  ugh, i can't think of any more, but there are more.

I am so torn and need some help here! I want to get me an XBOX 360 Elite now that the price has dropped but not just for that but for the beloved HALO games. I also want a PS3 for all it's power and glory and the BluRay player also lol, so someone please help me decide!! Just cast your vote based on reputation, capabilities, breakdowns.

Ty, smsfrar

ok it goes like this, if you want to play Halo games, you have to buy a 360 plain and simple.  If Halo doesn't really matter then imo i would get a PS3.  I own both and now buy most multiplatform games on the PS3 as graphically its marginally better but tbh its not alot, i suppose i just prefer the ps controller :)  

Do your friends have either console?  If so which ones do they own and would you want to go online?  If they all own a xbox then buy a xbox cos you can then play over xbox live with your mates providing you have the Gold edition which they charge for - more on that later.  

I bought my PS3 really for the bluray and its awesome for that, the fact it plays games is a bit of a bonus really :) 

Is price going to be an issue?  If so PS3 is the way to go due to the fact that getting online is free, you have wireless built in.  On the otherhand, the xbox you need to buy the wireless adaptor which in the UK is about £60 and you would need to buy the Xbox Live Gold @ £44.99 i think it is - and thats a recurring 1 year subscription.  Add it all up the 360 comes out more expensive then the PS3 and you still dont have bluray nor will you ever, so thats an extra cost of a bluray player - in the UK theyre about £100 now.  

Back catalogue? Yup the 360 wins hands down on this one, has far too many titles available for all age groups compared to the relatively small catalogue on the PS3.

Yet 360 has more online players and they have a better service after all.

I own both consoles and if it wasn't for the 5-6 Ps3 exclusives that I enjoy I wouldn't even turn my Ps3 on.

After I got my new pc I do not even touch my 360 because I can play the same games I can on my 360 on my new pc which look better and perform 100x better. The Xbox 360 exclusives are pretty horrible except for the original Halo. I'll be trading in my 360 very soon for a PS3 slim.

I tried man, I cannot enjoy Mass Effect 2 on PC. It's one thing sitting for hours while chatting in a mmo on my PC but to play a single player game? No thanks.

Give me my sofa, beer and 360 and im golden.

I totally agree about the sofa,beer and console thing. It is a heck of a lot more enjoying playing games that way but if I am going to continue to use my console then Microsoft and Sony best start getting much better games on their systems. The exclusives for each console pretty much stink. When mmos to my liking come ot the console then that is when I'll be a fulltime console player in my gaming time.

I don't think i'll ever be a fulltime console gamer, too many exclusives on different platforms and the PC still offers MMOs and the best controls for both Rts and Fps games and let us not forget the mod communities.

So this generation i've spent big. Had to buy them all.

Well companies like Turbine, CCP, SOE, Undead Labs, Square Enix  will be making console mmos for both the PS3 and 360. Also The Old Republic may be coming to console so if you enjoy the console  and mmos you shouldn't be disappointed.

nahhh... I keep my mmos on PC to curb my addiction lol.

I hate sitting in front of my PC for extended periods of time, makes me feel like im not doing anything productive (gets me wife aggro also) so it keeps my mmo sessions down to 1-2 hours before im disgusted (or annoyed) and log off.

I stick to my consoles because the games i play on them can be paused (no wife aggro if i could stop when she needs me) and its generally something me and the kids like to do together (again no wife aggro and I feel like im being productive).

If i had a mmo on consoles I would be fucked. If i stuck to sp games only on PC I would be excluding the kids from it because my PC is expensive unlike my 360.

It kind of works out in my situation, everyone has their own reason why they play one platform over the other.

I got my 360 first so i invested in my gamer score already so i buy everything on my 360 and just use the PS3 for the exclusives.

Congrats to everyone for having a civilized (so far) conversation about PS3 vs XBox.  Lets try and keep it that way!

As for my 2 cents, when dealing with big name exclusives... they are only really big name if the potential player (me in this case) sees them as such.  I personally can't stand shooters on consoles (and believe me I've given it many fair shakes).  So for me, I don't count any FPS/3rd person combat games (aka Resident Evil, L4D, Uncharted, etc) as a plus for either system.  Regardless of how well the game sells, or is billed.
