I'm new to VGchartz and after browsing the forums and stuff it seems that this is a rather friendly community. So I figured I can ask this question without persecution.
My Birthday is coming up in a few months and Ive been trying to figure our what to get. I gut is telling me to go with the PS3 because there are some games that interest me on it and free online service is always a plus. I really like both the single player experience and multiplayer experience games have to offer. My friend tells me I will make the wrong choice if I get a ps3 because he says the online service is far inferior to the Xbox360. I don't have a Xbox360 or a PS3 and I don't know much about either so I have no idea if he's telling the truth or not, he claims that I wont be able to find anyone online to play with so I better get used to playing alone with the PS3.
So that is how I ended up here, I came to post on this forum because I need more opinions than just my friend's. Is PS3 the right choice? Or is there a better choice for me?
