Forums - General Discussion - PS3 or XBOX360? which one should i get?

Get a PS3, hindsight will thank you.

Do you have atleast HD TV?
because HD console without HD TV is a worthless purchase.

x360 has most pc games, running good.
some good exlusives (not much).
BUT it also has RROD. And till summer, when Jaspar(new model) comes i wouldn`t advice you to get x360.
And near GTA4 release there should be some attractive bundles/deals.

PS3,
when there will be 40GB(or 160GB for 399$) model with BC and dualshock + bundled with MGS4 or PES2009 - get it!
till now, you also should wait.

Gaming PC cost 399$.

But you should get video card GF9600GT. =)

Ps3 for reasons stated in your other post.



Are you sure you want to play Fifa 08? If I were you I'd wait for the Wii version of PES 08 before making up my mind on Fifa.

I'd take 360 personally. I like Halo3, and I wouldn't mind getting some other main franchises, but like someone already pointed out, both get lots of the same third party stuff, look at which has the most appealing 1st and 2nd party games to you.

That's actually one of the reasons I got a wii, because if I didn't, I would not be able to have the first party nintendo games!!!



 

 

 

Guitar Hero 3/ Smash Hits

ps3 ftw



  Unleash The Beast!  

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

id go with ps3. if you got an hdtv, its a no brainer with blu-ray playback. both sides have some great exclusive games and i really would reccomend buying what suits you best, however imo ps3 is the better console.



ps3 for 2008 , 2009 , 2010



Reasonable said:
I suggest the following:

1) Look at each consoles library then look at current release schedule for this year - determine which appeals to you more vs what you play on Wii (one caveat on this is do you have a decent gaming PC? If so then consider whether you would prefer to play games like Bioshock / Mass Effect on PC or 360, if PC then drop them from 360 games list when comparing)

2) Consider online vs offline - are you planning on playing online? Do your friends already have console for online? If so and you want to go with friends follow their choice so long as it doesn't affect point 1) above. If you want to go online and don't care about friends then its cost vs promise. Online with PS3 is free but 360 has better online but you pay for it

3) Consider non-gaming elements - is this console only really for games or are you thinking of watching movies, storing content, etc? Are you interested in BR? If so then PS3 might be better, if not then 360 is probably more in line with what you want from the console

4) Consider reliability/risk - the 360 should I believe still be considered as a higher risk from rate of failure point of view. Does this matter? Do you want more solid console or are you happy with getting console replaced? If you don't like risk then PS3 is better choice than 360 for reliability

If the above fails toss a coin and don't blame me whatever happens...

For the record I wanted solid console, non PC centric games potential, DVD/BR movie playback and free online so I got a PS3. I also have a PC for games and removing the games such as Gears, Bioshock and Mass Effect from the equation I realised most 360 games that were exclusive that I wanted to play I could do so on PC while games like Uncharted and R&C would not come to PC so in fact the smaller PS3 library was actually larger from my point of view than 360's.

Again, Reasonable lives up to his screenname. Take his advice, answer those questions, and figure it out for yourself.

Ignore the rampant fanboyism in this thread.
