my friend was uber hyped to get a ps3 until he found out about the new x360 slim, but his x360 has been sitting around for a while now, and I intend to give him a lecture on why he should still buy ps3 over a x360, since I live in the UK, It's your job to help me make the best case for his conversion.

here is my argument so far

  • In built blu-ray, wi-fi, usb ports, in built HDD for every model
  • 3D Compatibily
  • Free online gaming
  • Option to have PSN and it's features such as cross chat
  • Wide variety of existing and upcoming games such as Uncharted 2, GOW III, Heavy Rain, Infamous, Infamous 2, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, Killzone 2, Killzone 3, Socom 4, GT5, Demon Souls, Mod Nation Racers, LBP 2.
  • Ps move support with hardcore and casual games, dunno whether he will like that idea as he is used to x360 controller, but he has owned a ps2 in the past, so who knows??
  • Mind blowing capacity as ps3 exclusives are more impressive than x360 games and multiplatinum games, prime example's is Uncharted 2 and GOW III and most recently Killzone 3 and Infamous 2
  • PS2 games being brought back via collections, remastered into HD and trophy support

    • Also I plan to show him lots of trailers of Infamous 2 and Killzone 3, any more suggestions and what is the cheapest bundle in the UK at the moment, I only look in Game and Asda lol.

    Finally do you think it's a good idea to lend him my ps3 so he can see for himself in his own time, maybe this may be the best stratedgy:P:P

    If you find this thread offensive, sorry but you should not have entered here you was warned before hand.

    Edit : updated my list


    So you're basically trying to enforce your will on your friend?  What a great friend you are!

    So for your points:

    • While the 360 doesn't have BluRay, it has more USB ports, wifi, and a hard drive
    • I thought I saw that the 360 could do 3D, whatever the case, if your friend doesn't have a 3DTV, what does it matter?
    • Point PS3, though Live is hands down better in terms of just about everything.  Only thing the PSN has on it is it's free.  Of course just about everyone that has Live and PSN prefers Live.  I don't know if your friend already has Live.
    • 360 has that...
    • 360 has a wide variety of games too...
    • The 360 doesn't have The Move but it does have Kinect.  Really up to him to decide which he thinks is cooler.  I don't know if price is important to him but even at the highest guess for Kinect, if you want to play with friends Kinect is the cheapest.
    • Yeah, just not true.
    • HD remakes is a cool deal.

    See, you can spin it either way!  The PS3 without has its advantages but don't discount the 360 just because you don't like it.

    If your friend wants a new 360, let him get a new 360.  What does it matter to you?  Don't try to convince him to get something he doesn't want by twisting facts and spouting half truths.
