| Train wreck said: I believe many people ask these questions (whether to buy a or b) because if they make the wrong personal choice, they can easily blame it on someone else. Its like an easy way out. |
Firstly I'd never base my decision around one opinion, I'm trying to get a feel for what each system has to offer.
Secondly I like to research for things that'll end up costing me thousands of dollars and be at least a 5 year investment. Perhaps if you've made some wrong personal choices in the past you should think about doing some research too, I'm a uni student, it's what I do ;)
Oh and btw, one thing I completely forgot to consider was the lack of Wi-Fi in the 360 :P that's one reason why I'm asking this, thanks aragod! Also a good point was raised about the controllers. Since I owned a GameCube and PS2 last gen I'm used to the basic layout of both the PS3 and 360 controllers. I've used the 360 controller, I thought it was too moulded, I like to be able to move the controller around in my hands a bit.. The PS3 controller has crappier triggers though and the analog sticks feel floaty so they're probably about even.. Another thing is I'm Australian so I don't even know if we have Netflix here :P I wouldn't be interested anyway and the prices are..
$299 Arcade + 2 games
$449 Elite + 2 games
$499 PS3 + a platinum game
