Nope its the 360 since its supports external HDD so its much easier to upgrade the HDD and transfer files it also has a much lager overall library of games and Games with Gold is actually still pretty good while PSN+ on the PS3 side has been pretty terrible for a long time now. The 360 also has a better UI and overall it just a lot easier to use once you download a game you don't have to install it achievements automatically go to your gamertag (no need to sync trophies). Plus the 360 controller is vastly superior to the dualshock 3.

Xbox gives me no reason to upgrade to 360



????? Can you get anymore vague in your reply.

WTF...

Anyone else notice one of the reasons listed for PS3 being the best bang for your buck is that it plays all PS3 games.... Is this real life? I0I

There's also that whole "what controller you like is opinion and has little sway in the debate when I like something else" thing, plus the fact that GwG is typically things that PS+ users already got way back when. Couple that with the fact that PS+ is cheaper and gives SIX games a month in addition to all it's discounts, XMB actually got much better reviews than any of the Xbox Dashboard reviews (and is, of course, more opinion and preference anyway), and the fact that  having to install after a game downloads or sync trophies isn't exactly some kind of deal-breaking phenomenon.

Well maybe in your world but in the real world just the the XBL arcade library on the 360 is better then the entire library on the original Xbox if you include the thousands of indie and retail games its not even close the 360 wins by a landslide it has better games in every genre not to mention that the original XBox had zero true JRPG's just by that fact alone it can't be better then the 360.  The only thing better about the original XBox is that it had more reliable hardware and it was easier to mod.  That being said the since the 360S the hardware is just as reliable as the original XBox.

PS+ used to better then GWC on the 360 but its been forever since they actually gave away two good games on the PS3 side.  So right now if you just compare PS+ and GWC on the PS3 versus the 360 the 360 side wins easily.  Overall the 360 is just more user friendly and the UI is a lot easier.  Plus 3rd party games which make up the bulk of both consoles games run for the most part better on the 360.  Plus with retail games you can install the entire game on the 360's HDD which gives many of them a slight performance boost.



Well I've found PS4's and XB1's for as low as 299$. That's only 100$ more than the PS3. Don't get me wrong, its a game system! But that answer would have to vary.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

In the real world "better" is an opinion not a fact.

Sega GT+JSRF bundle > Entire XBLA on 360

I also don't have time/money to buy multiple console just to find/wait for the edition with an acceptable failure rate.

 

As for me, I aiiiiin't havin dat shit.

Sega GT really isn't that good all the Forza games on the 360 are miles better plus there are a ton of other racing games on the 360 that are better then Sega GT also.  JSRF isn't that great either is not that much better then the first one which you can play in glorious HD on the 360.  Crazy Taxi 3 > then Sega GT + JSRF at least with that game you get three games including the best port of the first game.

I bought the PS3 late last gen and as my last console after Wii and 360. It turned out to be the best investment I made overall in terms of the bang to buck ratio. Now I have the biggest library of games on PS3 thanks in part to the PS+ subscription. Really great console.

 

Very off topic, but if you have PS+ and you don't have all of the 3 consoles make sure to visit the website for psn store to add the licences for the Vita/PS4 games to your PSN account each month, I got myself a PS4 over the holidays and had the whole last years worth of PSN+ titles waiting for me to download, really takes the sting off buying the new hardware getting a bag o games with it.

-Thrifty gaming advice !

Oh yeah i've been doing that for years but that's also because the PS3 was so good I bought both the PS4 and Vita :)
