PS3 or 360?

[Slothy]

I'd recommend the 360. Gears of War alone is enough to justify purchasing it, and there are plenty of great games for it. Right off the top of my head, I've heard great things about many of its games, like Rainbow Six: Vegas, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Guitar Hero II (even though I don't think it's 360 exclusive.) Add in some blockbuster hits, like Halo 3, some good games off of the Marketplace (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night), and a great online service, and the 360 is clearly the better choice. That is, unless you are a diehard Metal Gear or Final Fantasy fan.

The only exclusives you mentioned in that post are Gears of War and Halo 3. And I don't care how good Gears is, one game is never enough justification for buying a system. And the fact that you only mention MGS and FF as being reasons to buy a PS3 implies that you're either just ignoring the other great looking exclusives coming to the system, or just aren't that well informed on what the PS3 will have to offer.

Honestly, I'm going to just give the only advice that matters here: go to a site like IGN, Gamespot or what have you and start browsing the previews sections. Look at as many upcoming exclusive titles for each as you can to see what gets you giddy with anticipation and go with that system. We can recommend titles to look into but we can't tell you which is the better buy since you know what you like better than we do.

And I don't know about you guys but Ninety Nine Nights is fun.

One game can justify buying a console, if the console is cheap enough :p, like the GC was when I bought it for MGS:TTS.

Oh dude, it depends on what you want and thats the hard, sad truth. It's like a car. Some people like sticks while others like automatics. Some like cars, some like trucks.

If that poll had been made half a year later, it would look very different.
But yeah, fantasyjunkie is right, and I also agree with Vivi22. It depends on what you want. Check IGN for upcoming games.

It's true that the 360 has the bigger library right now, but that's obviously because it has been out on the market for quite some time now. Personally, I see a lot of potential in the PS3 and its library will probably end up being bigger than the one of the 360.

PS3 any day.

[The Shoeless Hobo]

Can't wait till Eternal Sonata. Blue Dragon, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Assasin's Creed and Banjo-Kazooie 3 come to the 360.

PS3 is tempting, but other than blu-ray, it's pretty much just the same.

Yet I do agree that 360 using DVD as it's format was a wrong move....

I love Sony with all of my heart, but I'm going to have to say 360 as of now. Although, Devil May Cry 4 is no longer PS3 exclusive, its also coming out on the 360. Another reason to not buy a PS3 until MGS4otP comes out.

[Laddy]

Wait for either. PS3 if you had to, because FF13 will be on it, and I take you must like FF to join this site, but really, waiting is the best choice, not only will titles and systems be cheaper, but more will be out, making it a fair vote.

If you do get a 360, make sure to get a store insurance. My buddy is on his 4th 360. That's the only problem I've seen it they are buggy but that's mainly because microsoft uses so many different companies for parts so no system has everything exactly the same.

What in blazes does your buddy do to his systems!? O_O

Play games. The first the disc drive burned out, then the second it ran really hot and was loud and didn't like to play some games. then it started scratching games. The third you had to fiddle with the ac adapter to get it to work. the 4th he's had for a few months with no problems. He got them from gamestop and they gave him no problems whatsoever in returning the systems.

Never heard of a drive scratching discs, but it sure does sound nasty.

The PS2 did that too. Faint, circular scratches, but they added up after a while.
