T.Rexington said: At this point, if you haven't enjoyed either system, then you should really just go with the cheapest console you can find. Used, it's up in the air, new it's the 360, but if you plan on playing lots of MP, then probably the PS3 instead. Either way, you'll find tons to love. |
Why would a new 360 be preferable to a new PS3? It's more expensive to get a 360 with the same equipment as PS3 (large HDD, rechargeable controller). Furthermore you don't have to pay for online on PS3 (which saves you the monetary equivalent of one game per year). You also get Blu Ray as an added bonus. So in order to get similar 360 hardware (minus Blu Ray), you have to spend more money than for a PS3.
Last but not least, let's not forget the games you can't play on 360:
Uncharted 1, 2 and 3
inFAMOUS 1 and 2
MotorStorm 1, 2 and 3
Gran Turismo 5
