So I agree with most of you on here that it's probably best NOT to but a 360 if you already have a PS3. However, I WILL say that the three big reasons on here to not buy a 360 are pretty bogus: 1. Don't wanna pay for live. Whatever. Sony milks me for $35 a year in other ways (Qore, Home knickknacks, etc.), and Live is totally worth it. If you don't think so, you're not using it, or at least not fully. 2. Loudness. Unless you are playing with the sound really low and with the console right next to you, who notices it? Occasionally in a cutscene or load screen I will notice the noise, but it's really not anything to cry about. 3. Red ring. Had one. It sucked for a little while. If you get a new 360 right now, the odds are good you'll have no issues. So unless you're buying a used one from 2006, get over it. Both are good consoles. But if you have a PS3 there's no reason to buy a 360. And if you have a 360 there's no reason to buy a PS3. Unless there is an exclusive you just HAVE to play. Like Left 4 Dead or Uncharted, which are both awesome. |
1. I don't think paying for Live is worth it for a number of reasons. I don't play a lot of online multiplayer, maybe a couple of times a month. I don't know anyone with a 360, where as I know a bunch of people with PS3s, so chatting thorugh Live would be kind of irrelevant. I hate subscription-based fees, primarily stuff like Live and MMOs where it is up to yourself to make the most of what you pay.
3. RRoD is probably more symbolic of all the things that can go wrong with your 360, when people talk about it today. Personally, the failure rate still seems too high for me to want to jump in.
