I need help ASAP, opinons needed - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey everyone, I'm fixing to buy a 360 or PS3. I'm having trouble deciding on which one. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Which one would y'all recommend?

You are going to get mostly biased opinions based on the system that people have already purchased, I recommend going to look at the games themselves, and the system that has more games you like, get.

agreed i went with 360 because of Forza 2 and now 3 :)

PS2 or PS3??? id buy the 360 simply because its newer and better IMO than the playstation 2.....

Slick · 11-12-2009, 01:27 PM

Your right, sorry, PS3

1stToyota · 11-12-2009, 01:33 PM

If it's a toss-up on the games, get the PS3. Unless the x360 is now all-new and improved and has solved all of its problems I'd stay away from that one. Had 2 360s, nothing but constant problems for me. Got the PS3, much quieter, not one problem encountered so far...plus they've dropped the price recently

360'S are plagued with the RED RINGS OF DEATH and no BLUE RAY playback BUT it does offer a far more selection of games and exclusives. PS3 is just as good and even better in the graphic department in some cases. mostly its all up to the purchaser and what he likes. i was a sony nut UNTIL i seen the trailer for the first GEARS OF WAR and was hooked ever since.....

That's why I originally chose 360, because of it's games, but soon found out that those games were only as good as the console. Nothing takes the fun out faster than getting another error message during game play, watching the game lockup, shutting down and having to restart.

my buddy and i did a test side by side xbox 360 and ps3 running the same game (assassin's creed). Although the load times are a bit faster on the xbox the ps3 never stuttered once and everything was silky smooth

FYI:
if you install the game onto hard drive for the 360 those load noises go away.....

Does that fix the dirty disc/unable to read error messages? I knew my discs were clean because they were always new and installed into console and not removed until game was finished. The whole time I owned both X360s I constantly got those messages, right after I heared *snapping* noises...if I was quick enough I could save current game before game would lock up, most of the time I wasn't fast enough. And I always covered console with dust cloth when not is use, so I can't figure that dust buildup was that much of a problem for me.

RROD means the 360 is dead. No restart is going to bring it back.

TinyGiant · 11-12-2009, 01:59 PM

ps3 hands down. free online game play. bluray player,

it was a no brainer when i was in the market. screw paying to play online.

cali yaris · 11-12-2009, 01:59 PM

PS3 seems better. I have the 360, have repaired it twice, but since we have a pretty big collection of games at this point, we're kind of stuck with it.

Liked it all over again though when I booted up the new COD...

TinyGiant · 11-12-2009, 02:00 PM

yeah cod4 took over my life when i got it . i'm glad my ps3 is in a box right now .lol

Slick · 11-12-2009, 03:16 PM

Thanks for all for all the responses guys. I decided to go with a 360 elite, modern warfare 2 edition.

Mods, if you could please delete this thread or lock or whatever y'all do best. :)
