Xbox360 or PS3?

[El Bandolero]

Okay so today for Black Friday I decided to get me a black slim Xbox 360 for the first time. (Yes Eric I know I said I would never get an Xbox 360)

I have a PS3 and have never been a fan of the Xbox 360, but today I was like ah there on special might as well get one. I been playing it for a few hours now and the quality of the graphics is way different from the PS3. Now I know we have some gamers here so whats better/what do you have Xbox360 or PS3?

When I bought my gaming system, I bought it based on the games I wanted to play.. always been a fan of the Mario franchise so it was the Wii for me..

Otherwise, the new Kinect looks pretty sweet so I'd opt for the Xbox 360.

I have an Xbox 360. I've owned a couple of PS3's (and a Wii for the record lol) and I've sold them on when I quickly became bored of them. I prefer the 360 for online gaming and some of the Xbox exclusives such as Fable. Im thinking of getting a PS3 again though when Infamous 2 is released, I loved the first game.

ps3 is the way to go leo! I hope you made the right choice!!!

The Kinect puts the Xbox 360 way out in front. When you see both on a good HD TV there is very little to no difference.

The blu ray option is the only thing really going for the PS3, and they are cheap to buy now (bluray players) so that's not such a huge advatage.

I prefer my 360 due to game library and also I use it as a huge media center added a 1Tb hd and I also stream movies via my wireless router....So I really enjoy just using Tversity and xbox and streaming all my stuff to it.....works great

I would have to vote 360 by a mile as of right now...playstation lost lots when squareenix went to all platforms instead of solely playstation

Just my opinion!

It all depends on the games you want to play
Cause there are many exclusives out there (awaiting the release of SOCOM 4! it's a ps3 exclusive :P :P)

Playstation is best choice. Its awesome platform for gaming.

All the console gamers I talk to usually have both XBOX and PS3 (sometimes Wii as well). There are some great exclusive games for both PS3 and XBOX360.

From the way things look, games tend to release first on console, then PC some time down the track. Sometimes though it's the other way around.

Personally, I have an XBOX360 (I prefer that controller over the other), but I also have a gaming PC at home.

IMO, there is no "best" it comes down to personal preference. They both have their pros and cons.

I still have my PS3 just wanted to try something different.

Currently I been playing my Xbox360 a lot more then my PS3 and Xboxlive is awesome.

Exactly.. just like buying a PC, it depends on what you expect from it and what you want/need it for. I prefer the Wii for the Mario games but I'd get an XBox360 for the Kinect.. the only thing that keeps me away from the XBox360 is the RROD.

IMO, there is no "best" it comes down to personal preference. They both have their pros and cons.

You should play on xbox live. Their online play is really great.

I think the decision buying process comes down to this, in order:

1. What most of your friends have
2. A particular game on an Ad grabbed your attention and was earmarked with a particluar console
3. One console bundle looks really good at the time
4. What the guy at the games store told you to buy

Features that affect your decision:

Xbox:

• Better graphics - on average
• Better online system
• Less reliable as an electrical item
• Gears of War and Halo
• Better controller for larger hands
• Online costs money

PS3:

• Better looking console
• Online is free
• Robust and reliable
• More killer PS3 only games
• Better controller for smaller hands
• Blu-Ray included

I think, on balance, the 360 nicks it as a purchase prospect unless most of your friends have a PS3.

I'd go with Xbox 360, if it wasn't for PS3 being free and M$ being greedy, I'd go with the Xbox 360 hands down, but can't for that reason.

It depends, if you really like playing online, and don't mind paying for a really good service, Xbox 360 is better.

BTW, I have both consoles and also have Wii

 

[dgridley]

I hear the Dreamcast library is moving to the PS3? Anyone else hear this?

 

[Superman3]

I will go with PS3 because it has bluray incorporated and I love playing games on it and also watching bluray movies

 

[oldmanchuck]

For a gaming console, go with 360. More games, better online, more people online, and most of the top hit games get put on 360. However, as many stated, it is what you intend to do with. PS3 is great for internet on the tv and blue ray and also has good games with it. Thats why I got both.

One new reason to get a PS3 - Gran Turismo - damn awesome!
