Ok, so just over a year ago, my 360 broke down and all this time I didn't bother fixing it or buying a new one since I was having so much fun with my PS3 and games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, MGS4, GOWIII and Demon's Souls. Now though, the 360 has two games that I really want: Splinter Cell and Mass Effect 2. There's Halo Reach and Gears 3 as well, but I don't want them enough to justify a re-purchase of the console.

I'm super confused whether I should get a 360 though after all the news, rumours and leaks of Splinter Cell and Mass Effect coming on the PS3. If I buy a 360 now and 6 months later Ubisoft announces SC:C for the PS3, I would feel as if my money went to waste.

I guess what I'm really asking is should I take the leap and purchase a 360 for these two games? Or should I wait for the possible announcement of a 360 slim which will ultimately mean a lower price point. OR, should I instead wait for these games to release on the PS3?

my suggestion is that if you want splinter cell and mass effect 2 get them on the pc (if your pc is good enough for it though)

if you have plenty to play now, then why not wait til E3 to see if a X360 slim is coming out. If you don't have anything you really want to play and there are a bunch of games on X360 you want to play, then get that. Personally I doubt Splinter Cell Conviction or Mass Effect 2 will make their way to PS3.

Play them on PC and wait for the redesigned 360 and decide then if you want another one or not. Wouldn't be very sensible to buy a 360 now with a new model coming up soon that's probably going to be more reliable and will most likely use less power.

If I didn't have a (Jasper) 360 already, I definitely wouldn't buy one right now but instead wait for the new model.

Wait for E3 and the (hopeful) Slim. You had a 360 once, you know there are plenty of reasons to play one. If it's really hinging on 2 games though? Well, you may feel dissappointed to pay a couple hundred bucks to play 2 games.

ubisoft already said there definatly not putting SC:C on ps3 and i cant see mass effect 2 coming to it after all this time so i would just buy a 360 , theres tons of great games coming out for it
