I'm actually impressed at how relatively clean this thread has been going so far...

Anyhow, have you been doing research outside of VGChartz? I mean, it seems there's more PS3 owners here (me included), so that's bound to skew things a bit. From what it looks like, Squilliam is just about the only one arguing for the 360.

You might wanna ask on other forums, wiki these consoles, etc etc. Just something to consider, and actually come to think of it you've probably already done most of these.

 

Well there's also the fact that I've had a lot more experience with the 360 then PS3, though I've played both but I actually had a 360 in my house where I played it everyday so really all I needed is to see if the PS3 is as good or better experience then 360, which was why I asked so many questions and kinda drilled it harder then 360.

Wow.. So many push for the PS3.

I'd push for the PS3 in the long run. It's got a lot of games coming out. 360 for games you may want to play that you missed last year or last last year.



I won't push any particular console. Just weigh the game lineups of both systems and pick the one that gives you the most games you want to play.



Just ask your self what type of games do you want to play and do you care about blu ray. I would recommend 360 out of two, it has better library of games, RPG's, Shooters etc. It's significantly cheaper, if you want Online get Live it's good (but costs).

PS3 still does not convince me, not enough titles.



I heavily advise waiting for the price cut and get the XBox 360.

Xbox 360 has better exclusives than PS3, and what isn't first party will be almost always end up on both platforms anyway.  Now that you have the choice to install games onto your XBox 360 harddrive, the more storage space for blue ray point is mute.

If you care more about blue ray movies get a PS3 (which is costly and since it seems that price is a concern I doubt this is they way you want to go).

If you care more about games get a Xbox 360.

PS3 will save you money in the medium and long run. A charger which you will buy is $40 for 360. Wifi $120, Live $70.
Also it's been outsold by the PS3 for the first 30 weeks on this year and the last 3 weeks of last year meaning it's catching up and will be caught up by mid-2009.
360's diminishing lead coupled with the fact that it runs on DVDs gives developers little incentive to support it past early 2010.
Do you really want to spend more(accessories taken into account) only to have it face obsolence 2 years earlier?  One doesn't have to look any further than the original XBox if you need a taste of MS habit of dumping off consoles after 4 years and screwing over middle and late adapters.  PS2 still survives 3 years after the Xbox.

Also almost all "exclusives" the 360 have that the PS3 doesn't can be played on PC. You might not be missing as much as you think.
The same cannot be said for PS3 exclusives. You won't find them on PC.



PSN: EDguila

PS3 library:  Motorstorm, Assasin's Creed, Orange Box, Uncharted:DF, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance:FOM, Rachet & Clank Future:ToD,

Near future: Folklore, SOCOM Confrontation, BioShock, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2.

The PS3 of course, unless you're a JRPG fan.



Like I said earlier, both are great. But, [there's always a but] the PS3, from now forwards, is the one to own. Don't think short term like most, back yourself up and back the PS3.

I would love to see u in LBP [the biggest game this year], R2 and Killzone 2 [which I think will become the ultimate 1st person shooter], so look me up.

^R2 is far better than KZ2 IMO.



If you care about media features go with the 3. If you want a real gaming console go with the 360. If you want japanese games than go with the 360 without thinking twice
