    Relm what console should I buy?

    I think I am going to buy either an XBox 360 or a PS3. I am leaning toward the PS3 for various reasons, but can be persuaded either way. I could also be persuaded to get some other game system. I hear the Neo Geo is pretty sweet.

    The Neo Geo is indeed better than any modern console but you'd be better off buying a PS3 or 360 still. Actually getting hold of any worthwhile Neo Geo games is a pricey endeavour.

    As for deciding between a PS3 and 360, I say flip a coin. If it isn't obvious which one you want immediately, then I don't think it'll matter which one you get. Both systems are great.

    Oh I'm pretty sure the PS3 is the console for people with no friends.

    (I'm just kidding, Bolivar, don't get mad at me!!!)

    I suppose some of my friends play online on various systems and I just don't know it because I don't play with them. I could send out a mass email asking what system I should buy to play with them. That would be hilarious.

    Which system has the most exclusive titles you want? That should probably be the one you get.

    I don't know what exclusive games I want. I just want to play some fun games and my PS1 is getting kinda lame and old.

    I'd recommend the PS3 but the pro's & con's of each console are fanboyed to death in the above thread

    I missed this one. If your PS1 is just getting 'lame and old' now, 14 years after its release, you can save yourself a lot of money and get a PS2. Got lots to catch up on.

    Do you like multiplayer games? 360.

    Do you like single player games? PS3.

    There's other stuff that factors into it, but those are pretty huge ones. PS3 has some of the most goddamn amazing single player experiences available, and the 360 makes multiplayer such a seamless, social event that it really can't be beat.

    If you're in the middle of the road on that, well... yeah, start writing up a list of console exclusives and go off of that. MGS4 was the deal breaker for me, really. I'm not much of a Halo guy.

    What made me get a PS3 was because my PS2 broke and I was left with a bunch of unplayable, yet awesome, PS2 games. I'm not familiar enough with the market to know whether or not they sell backward compatible PS3's anymore, but that might be an option if you want to play a bunch of now cheap PS2 games. The PS2 has a ton of exclusive titles.

    If you want to play with Eoffers you should probably go for Xbox, although be warned that they only play boring games. BORING GAMES. You know who you are!

    I agree with Hsu. If FPS/multiplayer is your thing, definitely XBox 360. If your favorite games tend to be single player, then the PS3 has more quality single-player exclusives.

    yea, there are plenty of PS2 games I could still play. Does the PS3 play PS2 and PS1 games? If not, I might just buy a PS2 on the cheap.

    I'm more of a single player guy, usually.

    I already have a DS, but I get sick on playing on a small screen.
