I think its pretty even to be honest.

I have a PS3 myself. :up:

 

Both.

 

Previously 360, recently PS3.

Think it depends on what game I am in the mood for.

 

both are good now. I have an Xbox

 

both

i play xbox mostly. ps3 is mainly my blu ray and dvd player.

 

Both. Sports or non-exclusive games I go with 360 since they're mostly in 1080p. The PS3 I use mostly for Blu-Rays.

 

You know I never knew you played anything on the PS3. :wink2:

 

I would go with PS3 for the fact that PSN is free and 1080p doesn't mean squat unless you have a 50" screen or larger. Even then its not a huge deal.

The 360 is cheaper but with the Xbox Live fees it ends up costing more than the PS3 over the long run so don't let the price fool you. Plus the general theme among gamers is that the PS3 is hitting its stride whereas the 360 is on a downward turn.

The 360 is great as well and you can't go wrong with either system I just think the PS3 has more up side.

Whatever you do research the ins and outs of both systems before buying and choose your favorite because we gamers are biased. :wink2:

 

PS3, I might be the only person on the planet who shunned Xbox because of the RROD. I work too hard for my money to buy something I know in all likelihood is going to break.

 

it's to much fun for me to banish it.

 

I hear you, I just wonder how much fun it is when it's in a box being shipped to Microsoft. Like I said, I just can't bring myself to do it. If they do a better job with their next console I'll probably buy it. Now that Bioshock is on PS3 there's not much I want to play that I can't on PS3 anyway.

 

Both. But i mainly play the PS3.

 

play station network - their online service which is free

XBox has Xbox Live, which is 49.99 per year

 

I'm a little more hands-on than your average guy. When my 360 RRoD'd, I bought one cash at Walmart, went home gutted them both and swapped the insides. Took the bad on bad to Walmart for a full cash refund and said it was RRoD'd out of the box. Issue resolved.

 

Both

 

I did the same, I actually had the money and the opportunity to come out of the store with a 360 in September of last year but it was gonna be an arcade and I chose not to buy it, I decided to wait til I had more money for the pro. But then I read all about the RROD and decided to pass. March of this year I got my PS3 and I'm not looking back at all.

 

Nice.

 

:lol: You don't honestly think that do you?

I'm pretty sure that was a major factor for thousands of people when they decided which one to buy, I know it was for me.

 

Have all three. And each have a little part of my gaming heart. If you don't feel like dealing with RROD then go with the PS3(plus you get a blue-ray player).

 

Fixed. :wink2:

 

I was one of those people. Well that and PSN was free. :wink2:

 

If I had the money to do that at the moment, I would have done the same. Instead I get to go a month without it...

 

I have a PS3 because I've always been a Playstation guy. That said, I've been thinking about picking up an XBOX arcade for the last little while. $200.00 is a damn good deal.

 

Don't get one w/o a HD man.

 

If he just wanted to play games and not online he could. I guess so at least as that's what I've heard.

 

A memory card can fill up fast, especially w/arcade games.

 

What I'm saying is that if he already has a PS3 that could be his online system and the 360 could be used for just those must have games. Of course I don't know if that is why he wants a 360 but if it is that is a good model to follow.

 

$399.

Also I guess your decision comes down to online play. If you don't want to play online the 360 should be your choice because its so cheap. However if you ever want to play online and don't want to pay I would go with the PS3. That decision will be all on you though. :yes:

 

Blu-ray >> DVD

Go to a local used place you can get a ps3 around here for $300 or less. Or craigslist or ebay.

Xbox isn't much cheaper in reality, but the reasons it is cheaper are: no standard HD, no built in wireless, cheaper technology (not that it shows).

 

Basically hardware. Also most everyone prefers Blu Ray but they cost more than DVDs.
