| ameratsu said: I'm going to say buy a 360, mostly because xbox fans are underrepresented here. There's a lot of great games on XBLA, some good older games should be fairly cheap by now, and you can make yourself a nifty Mii knockoff. There should be some decent bundle deals as well. |
Spend four or five hundred dollars to try to even out the demographics of this website? I'm just going to say it, Ameratsu: That is bad advice 
I think Nordlead is offering the most clear help in this thread, which you can apply to your own situation to see what you want more clearly, and not neccessarily arrive at the same conclusion he did.
Just to chime in on the downloadable games front, if you're interested in stuff life Castle Crashers, Fat Princess, Braid, Flower, and Trine. (If you're not, go ahead and ignore this paragraph.) I consider myself quite the connessuer of downloadable games -- I've played most of them on XBLA and PSN, and the games I just mentioned are actually my favorite games this generation (and World of Goo!). Anyway, I have a friend who always comes over and likes playing these games, and all this year I've been telling him to buy a 360 so he can play through Braid from start to finish, so we can play the games with co-op modes online... anyway, he still hasn't jumped in, and just last week I told him to buy a PS3 instead. Partially because of the price drop, but mainly because all of the games I listed before are either on PS3 or coming out on PS3. For some reason, Microsoft let the exclusivity lapse on two of their best Arcade games, Braid and Castle Crashers, and in my mind that tips the balance pretty heavily in favor of the games on PSN. Being able to play all those games without buying both consoles makes me a little annoyed I spent 450 on an elite and 400 on a ps3.
Nah, who am I kidding... I love the twins.
