Another major gaming decision...

[Wolf Kanno]

So I am finally out of debt and getting money back into my accounts. I can finally catch up on all the wonderful titles I've missed (Yay! My Wii will finally see some use!) but thanks to a nice tax return, I have been given the option of picking up another console and its basically a toss up between the PSP and the 360.

I'm leaning more towards the PSP cause Dissidia and Persona 1 will be arriving in the summer but I feel the 360 may have better longevity and it has Street Fighter IV...

What says you EoFF? Which system should I go for and what games would you recommend?

[Crimson]

PS3 nao plz.

[Dreddz]

Get a 360. More things going on for that console at the moment than the PSP. Both are worth purchasing though.

*pfft* AHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HA ha..

S-sorry. Couldn't hold that one in. (I'm one of those unlucky people you hear about who constantly have to send their system[s] in for repairs and replacement. Overall, between my my dad's 360 and my own 360, we're on our 10th console. No joke. Just sayin'.

Then again, you may be one of those lucky people who don't have issues with their consoles.

Go for the 360. You get some decent games and the cool arcade stuff.

[Raebus]

Go for the 360.

[Goldenboko]

Assuming you live in the states so broken 360's are fix'd for free, 360. Much fun to do on that system.

[Vermachtnis]

I'm different! I say go for the PSP! Don't get me wrong the 360 is awesome.

[Slothy]

I'm going to be different as well and say the PSP. Gears of War aside, I've never been taken with any of the exclusives on the 360. Give me God of War, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, Jeanne D'arc, MGS Portable Ops, Echochrome, and remakes of awesome PSX games I missed out on the first time around over the exclusives on the 360 any day.

[Wolf Kanno]

I meant the longevity of it having titles produced for it. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony announced a next generation PSP soon while I doubt Microsoft will announce the next generation console for X-Box anytime soon. :)

I must say, the exclusive content for the PSP is what's drawing me to the system. I don't really care for any of the 360 exclusives, except for maybe Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect. Being able to play BioShock and Fallout 3 without having to upgrade my computer is tempting though...

Any game suggestions for either system?

I strongly dislike FPS's and I don't consider GTA that great of a series.

[Karellen]

I've barely used my 360 since I bought it. It kind of feels like a waste now that I have a decent PC, since the 360 exclusives don't even come close to being on par with the PC exclusives.

Pretty sure that's global, or at least the English-speaking world. Mine was fixed free and I live in the UK.

Anyway yeah going to have to recommend the 360, strongly. It's full of joyous gaming joy.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

360, poll pl0x?

[Vyk]

I own both. I don't like a lot of the 360 exclusives either. But my 360 gets a lot more use than my PSP. Only thing that interests me in the PSP these days is the PSOne compatibility. There's a few games though

[Levian]

I think you should buy games for your wii :D

I don't have PSP or 360 so I wouldn't know.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't have 360

You are a disappointment to me and your mother.

[Fonzie]

Xbox 360, a thousand times over.

That has nothing to do with why I don't want a 360 though. I find all the games on it dead boring, with very few exceptions, and those are on PS3 too anyway. :D

The 360 does have the best controllers I've ever held though, but I can't live on controllers alone.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah fair enough the failure rate is a big pile of fail stuffed into a sweaty ballbag and then used to beat an innocent woman about the head but

I don't know how you can't be tempted by Halo 3 and Dead Rising and Gears of War and so on and playing stuff with Paul and Dan and me though :( Don't you love us? Don't you wish you were part of our glorious coterie of cockery?

[Captain Maxx Power]

I'd recommend buying nothing, and instead saving your money so you don't die from starvation.

I've been thinking about this. My Wii does not get enough love from me. Which is why its in the care of my girlfriend at the moment and why I can't play it either...

I'd buy games for it but god knows when I'll get my Wii back.

This is slowly becoming my other decision, though I don't really need to worry about food. Hell, I need to start playing DDR again or training. WK is getting soft in the middle again :(

Its sad that when I don't have money, I want everything. When I do get money, I hoard it like a Dragon over treasure. I have bought a few games but nothing over $15 dollars.

I guess I can't find a real reason to pick up any of the console systems... God this generation has been disappointing.

[xXsarahXx]

upon owning both,
Go for the 360 Good gmes come out for that ALL the time, i have had to wait since Crisis Core reslease for anything decent to arrive on psp.

[Jessweeee♪]

I'd say 360. Then save up so you can buy a PSP before September!

[Linus]

I agree with some of the others on 360. The range of games is just way better, and if you can play on XBox Live you're set for entertainment any time of day!

[Wolf Kanno]

Its sad cause I mostly want a PSP for FFT: WotL, the Persona 1 port and Dissidia. Course Gitaroo Man and LocoRoco help

I mostly want a 360 for Lost Odyssey, SFIV, and maybe Fallout 3 and Bioshock.

Any game suggestions?

[Momiji]

Triggerheart Exelica is only $10 on XBLA. :heart:

Portal and Mirror's Edge for 360 (they're short games, so you could just rent them, btw), and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection for the PSP :</>D!
