PS3 or XBOX 360?

But here is the difference, they BOTH have user replaceable batteries. With the PS3 you have to take it in to be serviced (add possible service charge for each time) to replace the batteries. Me on the other hand, all I have to do is hit one little tab and pop the batteries out and recharge them.

Thats funny. Considering of the next gen titles the PS3 has the least to offer for the first year. And Blu-Ray has been losing the HD wars for a while now, HD-DVD is the more supported and wider used format. Please stop drinking the kool-aid.

So far, Kanzen seems to be making the most sense of this all. I own a crap load of systems, myself, from the Atari 2600 to the Xbox 360, so right off the bat I want to say that I am by no means a fanboy of any system.

As far as choosing a system now, I would say the 360. Mainly because I am weary of first generation consoles released by Sony. Both the PS2 and PS have had their share of problems with their first batch. Give it some time (and hopefully a price drop) before thinking about that one. Let the early adopters work out the kinks.

As far as game selection goes, Sony has always had good support with Japanese companies (like Namco, Capcom, Square, Konami, etc), while Microsoft has better support with American companies (Epic, Ubisoft; although they produce on both platforms; Vivendi Studios).Think about what type of games you like, and in the future you may see what you like best, if you're fine with waiting.

Don't think 360 games are interesting? I think otherwise. Gears of War was just released, and is phenomenal (I'm hooked on it). Check it out at gamespot.com, ign.com, or 1up.com to see why. Dead Rising is another great one. Alone in The Dark looks pretty awesome, too. Don't get me wrong, PS3 has some great ones coming out, too, like MGS 4 and Virtua Fighter 5. I just want to point out that 360 is no slouch when it comes to its game library.

The Wii is another alternative. It is a totally new way of looking at gaming. I'm really looking forward to it. New Zelda, anyone?

On a side note, a shout out to Kanzen...your user pic, is that K' from King of Fighters as a girl? Just curious, it kind of looks like that but with Guilty Gear art....if that makes any sense...or I'm just insane.

Wii in a little over a week, I can't wait. Zelda will own all.

allready got (had) a 360, but the latest update killed it, so i gota go get another one! As for the ps3 and wii, i will have both by the end of next year! so, the real question will soon be for me, not what system to get, but what system to get the game for?


That said, the ps3 looks to be a powerhouse, but the 360 isnt to shabby. Rumors of larger hard drives and a HDMI cable are spreading like wild fire, but, the 360 is basic, meaning even its delux pack, is lacking features like blue ray or hd dvd, which u can add on...but...of course, for more money.

At least when u buy the sony ps3, your getting a next gen system and media player at the same time.

as for the wii, its strickly games with some media thrown in. But, the games are a completly new style of gameplay with the controls, so....idk....

i say, get all 3, a high def tv, a decent sound system, and the hd dvd player for the 360, make sure all 3 systems are online, and your set for atleast 4 years!

ALSO, BUY THE EXTENDED WARENTEE. With fucked up updates and glitches, chances are higher now youll run into some sort of problem at some point. Trust me, you wont regreat it!

XBOX 360............................I just heard that with a subscription to 360 Live you will be able to download HD Movies,at the end of this month

I just pre-ordered the Wii from Barnes and Noble. Can't wait for the interactive wand-stick.

XBox 360 is great for graphics, plus the add on Hi-def DVD player is a cheaper alternative.

I'm getting the PS3 because you get a blue ray DVD player and gaming machine in one, cheaper than a stand alone blue ray DVD player.
