Xbox360/ps3

I think its pretty even to be honest.

I have a PS3 myself. :up:

Both.

for those that have both which do you prefer?

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.

so if i primarily plan madden (which i do) then 360 would be what you recommend? i'm scared of the red rings of death.

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:

What is PSN?

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.

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.

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.

: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).
