ps3. no contest.

i still think getting a ps3 is a better choice than a ps4.

Get a Sega Genesis

You should get the PS3 because it generally had the better games, just NEVER think of playing Wonderbook ..

The PS3 is the best choice imo. It has a great variety of games and an amazing selection of first party exclusives.

PS3, easily. This is coming from a 360 user by the way.

Sony's exclusives are way better. (To me at least.)

If you want the best social experience in a 7th gen console 360 wins hands down. It also performs much better on 3rd party games most of the time. I was quite let down on the exclusives side of the console. Gears of War was the only game I ever felt was at the same level as PS3 exclusives. But Halo 4 also was quite well done.

PS3 is hands down the king of exclusives between the two consoles. God of Wars, Killzones, Uncharteds, GT's set the stage with big name franchises. Then you have The Last of Us, Heavy Rain, Journey, and Flower which came out of no where and were really great titles. PS3 also doubles as a great media hub. The biggest problem with PS3 is it has a terrible social aspect.

Personally, I would just spend the extra $150 and get a PS4. Then you can play though the PS3 games over PS Now, and also have a console to enjoy whatever lies ahead in the 8th gen. Basically, PS4 is everything that was good about PS3 and 360 in one console, with the added benefit of multitasking, and a quicker OS.

this being in the politices sub forum is perfect.

i would recommend PS3. more + better exclusives and free online.

And it probably will continue to be, until were well and far into this gen.

Owned both prefer PS3 for me it's an easy choice

At this point in time getting a PS360 over a PC is plain silly and PS2 is/was the last home console worth owning anyway.
