No i looked at both systems and the PS3 just seemed the better out of the two. I mean

- Blu Ray = I have a 40" Sony Bravia 1080p Televison and love films

- Built in Wi-Fi = I have a Wi-Fi connection, that would be an extra $100 for 360

- Free Online = I buy the game and then have to buy online, then buy the chapters forget that

- I prefer the games on PS3 even though 360 has more

- You have to keep buying batteries for the 360 controller or buy the plug n play kit, forget that

- The 360 would most likly break down on me

- Most my friends have a PS3

So in the end i opted for the PS3, at one point i was gonna get a 360 for the exclusive chapters but then after research i found out that it was gonna be overall more expensive and not to mention the PS3 can use computer hard drives and i have a 200Gb hard drive just sittin at home. U cant put those in your 360, can you?

On the note of the two GTAIV versions being visually identical, I found this article today that seems to conclude that Take Two said the PS3 would be visually better, if only slightly.

After much argueing amongsnt members i have decided to get a PS3.
 

If that's all it takes for you to buy a PS3, Lord help you. I would advise you to research both systems and based on the fact you are strapped for cash, you should really ask yourself if spending $400 for a PS3 and buying the game $60 is worth it vs. buying a 360 - soon to have a price cut - and the game for under $300 for something that will perform pretty much the same.

I have both systems and it really boils down to libraries. And I would also advise against buying a system unless you like the games you see for it NOW. It's not guarantee that the upcoming games won't just bomb. In that instance, it would be better to wait and see if the games are what you are looking for. 


QFT.

OP, get whichever system is right for you.  Don't let fanboys bickering on an internet gaming forum determine where you should spend your hard earned bread.

@ Torillian

Double good news, i get the graphically superior version aswell. But didn't rockstar said they look exactly the same, abit of contradiction.

I'm a HUGE GTA fan and I own all GTA's (GTA, GTA London, GTA 2 -Ps1 GTA3, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City, both VC and LC stories - Ps2) the only version True GTA fans would consider is the Ps3 version. :) definitely gonna be Game of the Year contender

Actually looking on Metacrictic 360 has got an amazing selection of games, but not all i like

- Bioshock = Abit weird but i would get this
- Forza = Good but i would miss Gran Turismo
- Halo 3 = Good but over rated, COD 4 is better in my opnion
- Mass Effect = I like this game, but i would miss FF
- Gears of War = Great game lots of violence, Uncharted looks similar though

To me three thing split wether i get a PS3 or 360
1) GTA IV
2) Reliabilty
3) Overall Price

Ummm... you know that CoD4 is also on the 360, right?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
