PS3 or XBOX 360?

Need some advice guys, which of the two should I go for?

I was waiting for the PS3 for quite some time, wanted to play many PS2 games on it too. But the high price is certainly a big factor.

The pts against XBOX is that: While PS3 was launched 6-7 yrs after PS2, the next version of the Box came out very soon. So what's the guarantee that 360 will also not be short lived. Together with that, the games are not too exciting.

Waiting for ur opinions, may be they will help me make up my mind.

Thanks.

XBOX = Microsoft = shit.
PS3 = Gran Turismo + Tekken + Devil May Cry + Final Fantasy + Pro Evolution Soccer + many many more. So it's PS3.

Get both . If that is not an option , get 360 . Xbox Live makes this system great . The games are wicked . You can get extra content online , trailers , games , demos . Definately worth the cash for it .

I like the 360, but since you dont find the games exciting, you might want to wait until the ps3 comes out and see how its games are.

I assume the 360 will drop in price soon, and it has some big games coming out like gears of war, i think id go with the 360, and wait on the ps3.

PS3 most definitely. Lets take Madden '06 for example (best one I could think of). In order to play franchise mode you need to get XBox Live and download the rest for a fee even after you've already spent $50 for the game...not worth the money; besides PS3 has a blue ray player meaning not only do you have a game machine with the best library possible but you also have the next level of DVD players.

because so many people are up in arms about the price of the ps3, game companies have decided not to make games exclusivly for the ps3

that means all games that come out for the ps3 will be out for the xbox 360 and wii

the makers of gta and gran turismo have already started making their games for the wii and are porting them to the xbox
the creater of metal gear says after the next game (that is currently in production) he will make no more games for the ps3

so your logic of game selection is a null point


ps3 will fall to the same fate as the dreamcast,
there is no argument that it will be a great system, however price and lack of dedicated games will make it fail

buy an xbox 360 and a wii
you will spend the same ammount as you would on a ps3, and the only thing you will be lacking is a blu-ray player


and who really wants a blu-ray player?
esspecially the ps3 player... which as of now has more bugs that windows xp


but ill let kanzen talk more about that.... he knows more than i do about it

PS2 Graphics card = 256 MB

XBOX 360's = 512.

Although the PS3 can RUN games faster, the XBOX 360 has more video memory.

it dosent matter how much memory the card has
it has more to do with how the system routes information, and how the system uses its memory



i dont support the ps3, even though i am a diehard ps2 fan

but i think your point is misleading

This thread is making me laugh so hard. How misinformed many of you are.

1. PS3's price of the console ($500-$600) upon the fact that game producers say that a game will cost from $70-80.
2. PS3 has the smallest amount of exclusive titles, of which almost all of them are first party (from developers bought by Sony)
3. PS3's CELL CPU and Blu-Ray drives have not been meeting production demands.
4. PS3 has the smallest selection of launch titles since the N64.
5. PS3's BR-ROM is slower than the drives in the Xbox360 and the Wii, resulting in huge load times.
6. For the price of a PS3 you can buy a Xbox360 ($300) and a Nintendo Wii ($250) and have a larger library for the next year or two.
7. PS3 will go through several incarnations making selective games incompatible. Like the first generation of the PS2 that didn't support a HD, then the second generation that did, and then the PStwo which doesn't support a HD.
8. PS3 has lost most of their so called exclusives because developers have realized PS3 development is too costly. Unreal 2007, Assassin's Creed, and others are now multi-platform.
9. EA has significanly reduced PS3 developement in favor of Xbox360 and Wii.
10. Atari and SNK are holding off on making games for the PS3 until 2007 and 2009.
11. Ubisoft stated that they will be concentrating game development on the Xbox360 and Wii with the PS3 on the back burner.
12. Developers are not keen on the difficulty of PS3 development and often complain about lack of support. The high cost of PS3 development, the low install base, and the problems with bluray all lead to one problem: the PS3 may have a small library of games.
13. Sony's crew is obviously out of touch with reality as shown by their comments.

Go for an Xbox360 if you want to play games now. I couldn't be happier with my Xbox360 and when November 18th comes along, I'll be outside in line for the Wii.
