Forums - Gaming Discussion - Should I Buy Xbox 360 or PS3?

Im going to get one of them tomorrow or Thursday, which one should I get?



Which of the two has the most games currently out (or coming out in the near future) that appeal to your interests?



PS3 just a superior machine!

360 It has a large selection of games now and has a great lineup for 2007

There ya go. A cheaper console with more games and some greate stuff on the way.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

If it's not about blu-ray (PS3 no longer the cheapest method of obtaining a player but it is a $350 value still I believe), wireless capability, or reading different memory formats, then look at the 20GB PS3 versus the highly suggested 360 $400 version. The PS3 is $100 more, has a few more gigs of space (both listed at 20GB), and has free online gaming. After 2 years of xbox live gold (allowing online game play) it would be the same price. If you don't prefer online gaming, despite its growing appeal to console gamers, then consider if $100 is worth the exclusives that the PS3 has left. I agree that the 360 has a good lineup for 2007, but there are still Sony games that won't be on 360 as well as some 3rd party exclusives left like FF13 and MGS4 (possibly 2008). Not only that, but former exclusives to microsoft such as elder scrolls oblivion, ghost recon 2, ninja gaiden sigma, and others are heading to the PS3 and getting upgrades in some cases (especially ninja gaiden which I noticed was the cover feature of PSM this month). The lineup has been thin, but the plethora of EA games are coming for all systems soon, Lair is coming next month I believe, Motorstorm shows off what the PS3 can do already the last few weeks, and the previously mentioned elder scrolls is now out. 360 has lost planet, gears of war, crackdown with the halo 3 beta invite. Just comes down to what games you want to play.



What are you looking for? The way i see it right now: PS3: MotorStorm Resistance 360: Gears of War Lost Planet I suppose you live in USA, so you can either get a $400 360 or a $500/$600 PS3. Also keep in mind that XBOX Live costs $50 a year while the PS3 Network is free. And if you owned a PS2 and liked it, then i suggest you get a PS3 because it's getting new games of the same styles + sequels.



Easily a 360, hands down. More games, cheaper, better online - and some cool exclusives coming this year.

I have the 360, I'd say the 360 all the way, It's not just cheaper, since it's been out it has a nice selection of games really cheap. For example you can pick up game like Burnout Revenge, Project Gotham Racing 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo all for 30 bucks each. There is plenty more cheap that you can get used. Right now the ps3 hardly has anything exclusive that's worth it. For Resistence there's Gears of War. And personally if you like racing games you can get several great racing games on the 360 for half the price of Motorstrom. Plus the exclusives this year are all going to be insane on the 360: Forza 2 Mass Effect(this one looks amazing) Blue Dragon Lost Odyessy Halo 3 You simply can't go wrong with the 360. I don't think a ps3 is worth picking up until spring 2008 when they'll finally have some good exclusives, and a price drop. Unless your dying for a blu-ray player I can't imagine picking the ps3 over the 360 this year.



I would say the 360, but why would you get it now when the 360 elite edition is right around the corner.
