A PS3 or an Xbox 360? Decision time.?
This weekend I am going to purchase a console. Do I get a 360 Elite or a PS3. Im more of an online gamer (sports, FPs and the like) so which machine is best. I already have a 360 core but am giving this to my nephew, so I have a good idea already of Xbox Live. What is this PS3 home all about and which machine has the best games out this year. Is GTA4 any different on each machine and when is Resident Evil 5 out and on which machine (far as I'm aware no RE's ever been on Xbox)
PS3 !!!
1. BlueRay - Most movie producing companies are getting out of the HD-DVD formats (anyone remember BETA max).
2. Do not need a $175 add on to watch movies.
3. Does not over heat. 3 red lights what is that???
Yes the PSN is pretty basic, but it's free !!!
The XBOX 360 does have more titles (for children), but it also has the advantage of being out 1 extra year.
Buy the 80 Gb forget about the 40 it is not compatable with PS1 and PS2 titles.
The games of the year will be Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Unreal Tournament 3, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
EDIT: I also must add CRYSIS has plans for the PS3 …. sorry nothing for the Xbox

I'd say XBox360 Elite, to be honest.
I have a Playstation 3 aswell, and no. The PS3 has a few games to download (I guess you could call them arcade ones) but hardly ANY. And they're all awful lol. Wheras the the XBox, like you said, has a full list of Arcade Games.
The Playstation 3 Online Gaming. Well, it isn't all that good. Again. XBox owns with Online Playing lol.
Although either one is a bit expensive seeing as you said "I probably use what I have now about twice a week.".
The only PS3 Exclusive I can think of coming out this year is Final Fantasy XIII. And I CAN'T WAIT for this. So PS3 does have a better side there xD But I can bet XBox will be getting load on Exclusives out this year aswell.
All in all, I have an XBox360 Elite and a Playstation 3 and I must say that I do prefer my Xbox. So I would say get the shiny black XBox360 Elite console like I have xD
360.
RE is coming out for the Box and for PS3.
360 is the best choice, for any gamer.
Buy it. Love it. And be quiet.
ive been researching and i would have to say ps3 one big reason is free online and blue ray and game wise go to ps3.com and check out the trailer for devil may cry 4 then theres metal gear solid 4, i had a 360 and the controls were smooth but im getting a ps 3 one reason is braggin rights remember how when you had a ps 2 and xboxs graphics pit some of its games to shame personally i like to be ahead and they will both cost about the same but check out the games coming out not just what is already out
1. Well since you've already tried out XBOX LIVE, why not
give PSN a shot.
2. Playstation Home hasen't been released yet. HOME is a
virtual world for you to communicate with other PS3 owners
3. GTAIV on the XBOX 360 will have some exclucive content.
RE-5 will be avalible on both consoles TBA 2009.
I would go with the xbox 360 elite, it was completely redesgined so you don't have to worry about the red ring. As for games, the 360 has a bigger libary and some good exclusies, such as Mass Effect and Halo 3 (those are just the two that come to mind). and you already know that xbox live is THE only choice for online console gaming.
PS3 cost more but are just simply amazing.
xbox 360
get aleats the 20gb there new chips in the 360s to prevent the overheat
more games for 360 for games just for the 360
gta being made for the 360 then copy ps3save thing for re5 so ya
i reather pay 50 for a year with lag obnly about 10 min a day compared to free online with lag all day so ya
go gamespot.com and ask thats where all gamers go
blue ray dvds cost like 10 bucks more then hd dvd any ways plus you can downl;oad movies off marketoplace most movies you buy you wont watch more then 2 times so no point wasteing 30 bucks so just pay the 2-4 bucks on xbox
hd dvds are stupid for the 360 because
games aqre on hddvd but it's hd on the hdtv so no point cuz the 360 converts the dvds
this the dude for the above post for my first one
If i were you i would get an xbox. especially if you like to play online, the ps3 online may be free but there is a reason we pay £35 (about $70) for xbox live, its just better. GTA IV is the same on each machine but the Xbox is getting two extra downloadable packages after release with some extra add-ons and stuff (they havent said exactly what). Home on the ps3 imo is just something for a console that doesn't have any decent games. and if its FPS' your after then your spoilt for choice with the xbox. oh and im sure RE 5 is coming on xbox this time……but correct me if im wrong
Edit: oh and sinister you dont have to pay $175 to watch movies…..not everyone wants to buy HD-DVD's as like blu-ray they are more expensive. its also pointless for anyone that doesn't have a HDTV.at least we get the choice.
