Should I buy an PS3 or X-Box 360?

Question

At this point I have not bought neither the PS3, X-Box 360, or Wii. The problem i I have is choosing between the PS3 and X-Box 360. Knowing that if I get a 360 I risk having it going out within the next 2 months (red-lights) but it has more games and it cheaper than the PS3. The ps3 on the other hand is more expensive and sony has not planned on dropping their prices into the 350 range anytime soon and that is pretty much the main reason why i haven't chosen it. The ps3 does have a lineup coming with over 50 games and the blue ray vs hd doesn't really matter to me. At this point im tired of waiting for sony to drop their g@d da&m prices and seriously considering saying F@$k it and getting a 360. At this would it be worth it to go ahead and buy 360 knowing the risks

Answer 1

you are better off getting a ps3 because...

- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player

-ps3 supports 1.3 HDMI which has rich colors and xbox supports 1.2 HDMI

- ps3 has much more and better exclusives, most of them cant go to xbox 360 because it cant handle that many data(DVD- 8.5gb, blu-ray 50gb)

- because of the blu-ray's huge space, ps3 will have WAY better graphics than 360

- online is free for ps3 not like 360

- ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring

- when developers get used to the system, the graphics will be WAY better than 360. should take them a year to get used to it

- playstation home is coming out this spring, its a virtual community where you can hang out with friends and customize your own apartment which xbox doesnt have(FREE)

- ps3 is a true HD console. xbox 360 upscale games to 1080p and ps3 DISPLAY games up to 1080p

- built in Wi-Fi

- xbox 360: 33% hardware failure
ps3: .2% hardware failure(see the decimal? less than 1%!)

- ps3 has better back-comp except the 40gb

- rumble returns in spring 2008

- you can upgrade your harddrive without voiding warranties with any 2.5 HDD, which xbox cant because you have to buy a xbox HDD
(they actually have the step by step on how to upgrade it on playstation.com)

those are the ones that i know right off my mind but there are much more reason than this

Prices as of today:
ps3- 80gb: $499 with motorstorm
40gb: $399 with spiderman 3 blu-ray
xbox 360(premium)- $399
(elite)- $479
if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 700 dollars, so that means ps3 is actually cheaper

Answer 2

First of all, the PS3's price just recently dropped for both consoles and to me they are a good deal. The PS3's price is higher for a good reason because it comes with everything that you will ever need and is the most powerful game console.

If you were to purchase everything seperately for the Xbox 360 that the PS3 already has, you would have spent more money than if you just bought the PS3 intially.

The PS3 has the best lineup of exclusive future games at this point. I wont even start naming a bunch of games, but a few that I can't wait for is Metal Gear Solid 4, Haze, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, The Getaway 3, and God of War 3.

In November and near the end of the year, there are a bunch of PS3 games coming out, including about 3 PS3 exclusive games just in November alone and a few more exclusives coming out in December.

Yes, the Xbox 360 may have more games, but there are only like 5 or 6 games for the whole system in my opinion that are even worth playing. Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of War are the only games that I can think of right now that are even worth playing for the 360 and that's nothing to me. The other games that are for the 360 are just crap, and no one cares about the other games anyways.

Get a Playstation 3, it's more reliable than a 360 and will have the best games by the beginning of next year and will have more exclusives coming out.

Answer 3

Well best bet is buy a 360 at like Best Buy or Gamestop and buy the warranty I think it's anywhere form like 40-60 bucks and if you have a problem instead of waiting on Microsoft to repair it (takes about a month and half) you can just walk it in and exchange it for a new one...

360 has way better games and a way better online support system (okay it's 50 bucks a year but that's like what less then 5 bucks a month)

pick up the elite addition if you can it's got like a 120 gig hard drive and HDMI outputs and if your into the whole color thing it's black instead of white... they also have the Halo 3 addition which comes with some nice additions for 50 dollars more the premium...

All and all dump the Sony fan boys no company has dominated the video game industry for more the 2 console no one I mean this going for Atari to now...

Hope you make the decision happy 360 owner here

PS3 as its unquestionably destiny evidence. The Xbox 360 has a HD-DVD participant now this is approximately as good as beta max develop into, which develop into ineffective. Microsoft additionally dropped the cost interior the united kingdom at present purchase £50, ask your self why?? There annoying that the PS3 is out promoting them, which interior the 1st 3 months of this 300 and sixty 5 days this looks in all probability. Yea so the Xbox 360 has have been given Halo 3, yet one sport out off all of them, why purchase a xbox just to play Halo. PS3 has some exclusives popping out for it. Blue-Ray is a thank you to bypass now and interior the destiny, and those discs can carry 50GB off gaming area the place the Xbox can basically carry 20-25Gb of area. So for GTA4 the Xbox will might desire to Discs just to play it. Microsoft have even mentioned that the Xbox 360 is done off problems and it has a 33% failure value while in comparison with 0.2% of the PS3. The pshas been around alot longer than the Xbox so i think of Sony is accustomed to what their doing.
