Xbox is great!

i prefer 360 over PS3. but why hate on either one, just get em both and enjoy the best of both worlds. both have great exclusives. we can all come together and hate on the wii.

Looks like you might be misinformed afterall.

The 360 you can do netflix streaming on.

PS3 will have DC univeres, and the FF MMO.

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.
