PS3 or XBOX360

[.Kevin.]

I will be buying one with my next pay cheque or a bird that can talk some african type that will go on your finger not sure yet what I want. Or a TRD Exhaust but I doubt it gives any more speed etc so I am avoiding it

Anyways if I do get a game console, which one?

I only want ps3 atm for gran turismo 5 that will be released any day now.

I predict this thread will end badly so I'll get my vote in early before it gets closed...

PS3
- Blu-Ray
- Little Big Planet
- Free Playstation Network
- Playstation Home (also free)
- Playstation Move (which is way cheaper than Kinect but at end of day does same thing)
- Cell processor > Xenos processor
- No red ring of death
- No big bulky goofy ass controller
- Wifi capable and free right out of the box

Those are just a few reasons off the top of my head. And I'd like to point out I'm no fanboy. I'd probably have both if I could afford it but I can't so I bought the best of the two and a POS Wii for my kids.

PS3 Easy.

[severous01]

new xbox has wifi built in and it's free as well. if you want gold and access to higher end stuff then you gotta pay for it...

and you're not gona get halo on psx....end of story. also, it's rumored that the next update on xbox is gonna have blu-ray...as it's the standard now.

[Slick]

360. Nuff said :)

[PETERPOOP]

360 if you like halo.

[.Kevin.]

PS3 it is, halo isn't worth it to me. All about COD and all the comps use wifi in my house so we should have no problem with that on the PS3 thanks guys.

Does anyone have a PS3? What are good games for online on it?

In this day and age one should not even give a rat's ass about Blu-ray...really??? It is all about digital distribution now and anyone that doesn't embrace that needs to get with the program. I currently own over 700 1080p movies. If I had that in Blu-ray that would take up an entire wall or more. I have my collection sitting on my Xtreamer Pro and 2 eTrayz which take up less space than my AV receiver for Pete's sake. I have a few friends that already have the Kinect and they love it. As for the RRoD unless mistaken that issue has been either resolved or greatly reduced with the nanometer process they are using now for the chipset. Sony is one of the largest proponents of closed system designs on the planet. This is evident with their proprietary, well, EVERY DAMNED THING THEY SELL practically. If I was concerned with having motion controlling at all I would much prefer to be 100% untethered. To me both systems have bloated shitty ass controllers for their legacy games. That being said your bottom line will be the video game library that each system carries. Take a very close look at both and make your decision that way. As for paying for your server farm connectivity being something that you might be concerned with...well why make that a factor? Sure the gaming companies charge what some say is high prices however they truly do not understand the costs involved in development of the titles they hold dear, the bandwidth it takes to have server farms available, nor the cost of power/upkeep of said farms. This all being taken into account it should be a nobrainer on whether that will be a factor for you. Why should it matter anyway if you only purchase a few core games each year anyway? If that is the case and you are not buying dozens of games a year then your ROI even when paying for your server side of the house is irrelevant.

I own neither the PS3 nor the 360 personally. Yes, I do own a Wii however it is only used for the franchise titles and I have it home-brewed to play classic NES/SNES/Genesis games on occasion. If I was going to buy either personally it would be the 360 for the Kinect function....I think that there will be a slew of physical fitness titles that will arise which would be my only driving factor. If I want to REALLY game then I do it on my PC which is connected via HDMI to my 56" TV so I can enjoy all of the visual goodness that I want while playing.


Take aways:

1) Title Library stare and compare
2) Decide that if you want to have motion control would you want to have to hold a controller or be 100% untethered
3) Realize that many online functions are available on both
4) Are you willing to continue to waste physical space with physical media and want Blu-ray capabilities and have that be a factor in your decision


prolly too much said, but hey...I like to "talk" and debate

[JumpmanYaris]

PS3
its SONY one of the best brands out there

[.Kevin.]

Eh no visuals for me, those cams freak me out. PS3 with the motion kit costs 399.99 here and 299.99 without. Personally I wanna keep the 100 lol and game wise GT5 is huge for me.

And oh yeah, Sony is so wonderful that they pull the bullshit moves like releasing firmware that kills linux...wtf?

PS3 FTW!!!
