PS3 or 360?

[BizarroSephiroth]

I just got the opportunity to buy either a PS3 o a XBOX 360. I cant get both, but i can get one. Which one do you recommend? I was gonna get the PS3 because there are some good games for it, but Halo 3 and a few other games intrigued me to get the 360. My question:


WHICH ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If only there was a member of eoff who knew all the faults of PS3.

Please explain what you mean by that MecaKane.

I'd go with the PS3. Actually, I did go with the PS3. Frankly, if you're worried about Halo 3, go buy Half-Life 2 and realize that you're not missing much with the Halo series. The PS3 just has more exclusives that interest me, and all of the multi platform titles I want. Go look into games like Little Big Planet, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Lair, Warhawk, and White Knight story to see why a PS3 is worth owning. I didn't even bother mentioning MGS4 and FFXIII since everyone is already quite familiar with them.

Vivi22, MecaKane is just taking another retarded stab at Joel.

It depends on what you want to play more. I went with a 360. I own Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. I am about to start playing the online version of GoW now and I love playing Vegas online. I beat both of their single player modes completely. I just find Vegas to be a lot more fun personally.

I am in the Halo 3 beta so I can't wait for that to start next month. There are a few other games I want for the 360 but right now it is all good.

I will eventually pick up a PS3 but right now they have nothing and I don't see them getting something in the near future.

Ive got both and its a tough call to say which one is better. The 360 has a better library, with most of the genres having a few good titles ( except RPG's, but Blue Dragon could fix that ). The PS3 is still early days when it comes to games, theres still some good titles in there though. But not enough to make it a really worthwhile purchise now. I got one because I really really wanted Virtua Fighter 5, and you might feel the same about another title for the PS3. Then you have to look at the line-up for each system, which I personally think is a tie, both systems have alot of great games in the works.

To keep it safe, I say get a 360. But theres no harm in getting a PS3, in a few months it'll be up there with the 360 no doubt.

Because it's been out longer and you'll have more money left over, get a 360. Like it's been said, it has a bigger library.

360 ftw.

I can't believe I didn't pick up on that. I guess that's what I get for posting right after waking up with a hangover.

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.

Dead Rising says 360. Aside from other, excellent games.

I would go for the 360, on the basis that it has a larger library at this time, and by the time the PS3 gets a library good enough to warrant a purchase it will probably have come down in price anyway.

[f f freak]

I have an Xbox 360. I don't plan on getting a PS3 until FFXIII comes out. I voted Xbox 360 because of the excellent games like Gears of War and Saints Row. My brother normally steals it so he and his friends can play Gears of War together which annoys me.

It's a Sony!:moose:

On a side note. 360 has been around for what? Over 1,5 years? PS3 just came out less than a month ago in EU.*shrug*

Dont buy anything for a few months and then buy a PS3. You'll have it cheaper than at start (obviously not as cheap as the 360), a pretty good library, and the insurance that although the 360 and Wii are also really good, the PS will probably win the competition again (after a while, mind you) = more / better games = money better spent.
I have a PS3 now, and I dont regret it at all. Resistance: FoM is good, Motorstorm is bloody cool. I am looking forward to: Lair, White Knight Story, Warhawk, Little Big Planet, MGS4 (not actually a fan, but looks promising nonetheless), a few others which I have actually forgotten the name of now, but especially Final Fantasy XIII! So yeah, everything Vivi22 mentioned
I would have liked to have a 360 as well, but obviously the PS3 was enough. In short, it is better to wait a while and then buy the PS3 imo

360. I'm against Microsoft, but the PS3 just sucks.
