Should I buy a Xbox 360 or a PS3 ?

PS3.

And you are probably the most useless fanboy on the forum.

*dances a bit to Bobby Darin*

 

 

ofcourse. cause coming into the thread, derailing it and joining this fanboy flame war would have been much better than a straight answer to the OP? Then I guess I'll contribute more.

OP - PS3. Why? Two reasons:

Better hardware: Blu Ray alone justifies its extra price for me. The consoles comes with built in wireless. You will not get a RROD. The failure rate on the PS3 is nowhere near that of 360 as far as I understand. You get the option of upgrading yourself to 1080p with 7.1 surround sound. It comes with all the wireless media capabilities that 360 comes with (and more?). PlayStation Network is FUCKING FREE!

Better Software: The gaming library of the PS3 pretty much speaks for itself at this point. You can probably tell that by the fact that even 360 fanboys don't just disregard thh software line-up anymore. MGS4 is the best game I've ever played. Games like Killzone 2, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Warhawk, R&C, Resistance are experiences that you will never get on 360. There are as many amazing multiplats like RE5, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, Lost Planet, GTAIV and Fallout 3 to keep you constantly coming back. Trust me, you will laugh when you are playing RE5, Lost Planet and GTAIV online knowing there are other people who pay a monthly fee to get that experience.

any input rocketpig?

Okay, I mentioned the hardware in my first post and that Blu-Ray is a nice addition. So is Netflix on the Box. RRoD is a tired argument. Stop using it. Modern failure rates are pretty low on the Xbox.

And software? Yes, the PS3 has great software. The key is that the Xbox has more great software. It depends on your preference. Do you really want to play Uncharted or KZ? Then buy a PS3. Do you really want to play H3 or Gears 2 with your friends? Then buy an Xbox. No one is going to be able to play all the great games for these systems. Go with what pleases you most.

As I said, you didn't even bother saying anything past "PS3" in your original post, which is why I called you out. I don't know what the OP likes so I pointed out a few supplemental features of each system. I figured he could choose what games he likes best. I can't do that for him.

So there's my "input".
