Ok i am thinking of getting either a xbox-360 or a ps3, now i have played ont he xbox before, but i own a ps2 and i really found the controls really wierd on the xbox but i liked them.
if you own either or even both, please could you post which one and why?
i want to come to a conclusion :)
sorry if there is a thread like this, i did check and i couldnt find anything.
Look at the exclusive titles for each and use that as your decision. Both are pricey and have known issues, so for me it would come down to exclusives.

yea, xbox has alot of exclusive games such as gears of war and halo 3. but you have ot pay to go wireless, where as the ps3 has free internet, which is great iwoudl say
Multimedia features and Blu-Ray alone make thje ps3 worth picking up. When it comes to the games most major titles are coming out on both consoles.
PS3 is a better investment. It has many more features, and it's more bang for your buck. Then again, 360 has a bit more games. it's up to you though.

do i need a serperate TV screen that is hd for the consel i choose?
and have they hacked the ps3 yet?
The Ps3 runs Linux out of the box... no hacking required. You can change the HDD by yourself as well.Originally Posted by baksteen
Do you need a separate HD screen? Well... you just need a TV of some sort. HD is higher resolution and prettier, but the games are going to play the same HD or not.
BTW, both have pros and cons:
360
pro: lots of games, rabid fanbase, many exclusives
cons: Live service costs cash, unreliability (many die... search for red ring of death") and no wifi included
PS3:
pro: excellent media features, awesome gaming network, blu ray, much more reliable than 360, PSP interoperability
cons: fewer games
I have a Ps3, and I like it quite a bit. A XBOX 360 isn't any better or worse though.
I have a PC, so I can play the games I would play on a 360 already. Saves me money. I could have just as easily bought the 360 instead of a PS3 though... in fact, I still may.
I don't want to sound like a fanboy, but I am very pleased with my PS3. I have a 60GB version and it is awesome for PS2 games as well as having more input methods than the newer versions (the 40 and 80 GB). Find that one and buy it.

Xbox gets a nod for better games and XBox Live, despite not being free is a more mature platform.
Playstation 3 for features and Blu-Ray support, also PSP interaction is excellent. You can use the PSP as a flash drive and play movies you've downloaded over the internet and play directly on your TV without burning a DVD. Plus being able to play PSP games full screen on a 42" TV is a pretty damned cool feature too.
even though i hate both (xbox=poorman's PC, ps3 no games), i still think the xbox is the better choice between the 2. if you think that you might like the multimedia features of the ps3, then go for that. IMO, a game system should be about the games. i only see 2 after a whole year for the ps3 that cant be played on the xbox or PC. ratchet and clank, and uncharted. TWO WHOLE GAMES in a whole year. not what i consider a good gaming platform.
i really like that advertisment of heavenly sword, it looked amazing, i was going ot get it as soon as i saw that, but then i saw gears of war and halo 3 coming out.
whati was talking abuot it being hacked, is can you play downloaded games on the ps3 like you can do with the xbox after you modded it?
Well for one thing with Xbox360 you can play backup games, while its not possible with PS3 for now. But then you will have to forget about all fun playing with your buddies because you can't use Live any more.
I think the best is to own both of them. I do own both and now I am saving money for Wii.

Wanting Nothing
is still wanting something
which is Nothing.
Getting Nothing
takes knowing something-
that only when wanting is forgotten
is nothing realized.
Forgetting Nothing
is remembering that
there is nothing left to get.
Thus, having Nothing
is wanting everything-
while remembering
it is already yours.
The 360 hardware problems have been taken care of, all the ones sold today should be fine. MS also upped the standard warranty to 3 years and you can get it extended for 40 bucks which is not a bad deal. As long as you keep it in a well ventilated place and blow out the dust once and a while it will be fine.
The cost of live is exaggerated here it only costs about 6 bucks a month and is far superior to Sony crappy free service. It is not required if you don't want to play games online. And if you are going to do something like install a mod chip then it is pointless because your console will be banned regardless of which one you choose.
The 360 has way more games for it now than the PS3 including exclusives and right not many of the multi platform games look better on the 360.
If you have a HDTV and want a blue ray player more than a game console then the PS3 would be ideal. But if you want to play games the 360 has way more better games out now, and you should compare the exclusive games of the two consoles.
I own a 360 and I like it alot. I was a big PS2 supporter but I don't like Sony has done things in this generation. If you do plan on getting a PS3 you should wait a bit because Sony will likely drop the price or change what they are bundling soon because it is still not selling that well.
Games on the xbox 360 that warrant it as a buy,
Halo 3
Eternal Sonata
Blue Dragon
Street Fighter 2 remake
Those on PS3
Ratchet and Clank
Games slated to come out that make people buy a ps3
Metal Gear solid
Final Fantasy
Little Big Planet
Grand Tourismo
In terms of games I would go for a Xbox 360 only because I would really like to play Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon. Other then those two titles tho there isn't much difference between the two for me. Ive never really gotten into final fantasy, halo, or metal gear I just put them in because most people like them.
As for features Ps3 is much more open to different formats and allows you to run Linux which if you are familiar with it is a nice plus. But unless something has changed they gimped Linux in terms of what it can access from the system.
Anyone upset or offended by my post please follow the link and let your opinions be known.

They're now giving away six Blu-ray movies with the purchase of a PS3. Spiderman and your choice of 5 others. This has improved sales but they are still clearly in third place in console sales simply because of hefty price tag.
For me the price is justified given the value of its combined components but obviously for most people the price is still too high.
