PS3 Or X-BOX?

Question

Im a big Rachet and Clank fan and they just came out with a new gane for ps3 and it looks pretty awesome and I've always kinda been a playstation guy but all my friends have X-box 360's and and most important halo 3 i have never owned or played a halo game for more than a few minutes and the new one looks pretty awsome too at this point money is not an issue I have enough for either one and one game I dont know which one to buy Im a huge Rachet and Clank fan but ive never experienced halo and it seems cool your thoughts on wut i would like more

Answer 1

well it really depends.... it looks like we have a lot in common when it comes to games.... i bought the ps3 because i love the action adventure genre of gaming and also i love japanese made games..... ratchet and clank is a good example of a great action adventure game coming out of the ps3...

xbox 360 has the upper hand on shooters (halo) sports games and western made games... i have a 360 elite too but ive had some problems with it.... had to send it back 3 times... not saying its a flimsy system... just warning you... there may be a chance... but it is a good system though... i just dont play it as much as my ps3....

i own both ratchet and clank and halo 3 they're great games... both must owns... my advice to you would be not to buy a console because of just one or two games.... you really have to know what you want in terms of gaming.... but if it were up to me id go for the ps3... it has a future... for example a lot of people got mad that the rumble feature was taken out... they recently fixed that problem by the 2.0 firmware update now there is as long as you have the dualshock 3... it just seems that all problems of the ps3 are so easily fixed....

Answer 2

We have halo 3 and Ratchet and clank. Halo 3 took an afternoon to beat it's only on an 8 gig dvd 360 game format disc. Ratchet and clank tools of destruction is over 26gig on a 50 gig blueray ps3 game format disc with virtually no load times. It took more than 20 hours and there is still more to do. It's graphics and sound effects are awesome throughout. Don't get me wrong Halo 3 was fun but for $60 I 'd expect a game that is worth the $60dollars offline as well as online. Basically halo 3 is a multiplayer online game.

The sound effects for halo 3 were seriously lacking and the maps seemed incomplete. If you like halo 3 then you'll love killzone (exclusive for the ps3) coming out soon. And Bungie the maker of the halo series has left their exclusive contract with Microsoft and is now developing games for other systems. Halo will always be owned by Microsoft but Bungie's creative team will be developing awesome games for the ps3 as well.

Answer 3

Since your friends have xbox 360, you should probably go for that. This way you can trade games and stuff like that.

But I think in maybe a year or so, the PS 3 will be the ultimate console. Xbox 360 is already at it's limit with graphics, plus the games are getting bigger. Many upcoming games won't fit on 1 xbox disk, like GTA 4, while PS 3 Blu Ray disks can store a lot more information.

Also, Halo 3 will be coming out for PC, many xbox 360 games will be as well. So if you have a new PC, you can just get those, and play them online for free.

And xbox 360 also has a high failure rate, significantly higher than PS 3's. So you could get into some problems with that.

So, in a year or so, maybe all of your friends will be buying PS 3's, so you could either get a head start, or if you can afford it, buy xbox 360 now, and PS 3 later. The Dualshock 3 controllers will come out then, so you can buy your PS 3 with an included Dualshock controller.

I personally bought a PS 3, while most of my friends have xbox 360. Fact that we can't share games is disappointing, but I didn't want to pay $400 now for xbox just to pay $400 more next year for PS 3. And some of my friends are already considering PS 3's.

Answer 4

While the PS3 has technical superiority and the added benefit of Blu-Ray, which will soon supplant DVD as the industry standard, XBOX 360 simply has the best and most diverse selection of games. Plus, you get popular franchises like Halo, Gears of War etc. For the younger or less intense gamers, the Wii is certainly a better choice, as the games tend to be designed around beginners, children or the elderly. Nevertheless, the Wii's outdated technology, childish control scheme and limited game selection make it a rather poor choice for any except the most casual gamers. Also, although it is the cheapest, it is by far the hardest to find.

Answer 5

Xbox 360 is my personal opionan, though some accessories may need to be bought to keep it well maintained (such as an Intercooler).
xbox games have a more choices in the games, and that too will include Halo 3.
PS3's are pretty much now sent to the side, or bench warmers that dont have really any good uses except the fact that you can brag that you have something that once costed 600 dollars.

Answer 6

If you have enough money to get the ps3 and other stuff with it 'cause its sooo much better than the x-box 360(my opinion)
I don't mind but if you want to play halo 3 get x-box 360

Answer 7

lol, almost exact same as me except for I'm not a Ratchet & Clank fan. I went with PS3, cuz online is free, built in wifi, better built console, blueray included, I mean the only pros to Xbox is better online (LIVE as opposed to PSN) and games, but since Ratchet & Clank is on PS3, ask yourself is online so important that your willing to sacrifice reliability, price...?

Answer 8

I used to be a big PS fan myself. Around when the PS2 came out, I wanted it so badly. Turns out I didn't get it for christmas, but next year I got the XBOX. It was incredible. I've been hooked to XBOX ever since. Now I have a 360, it is way worth it. The online multiplayer is insane, and I soon hope to see you play COD or Halo with me. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

for you i am telling you to stick to ps3 only b/c of your roots. and ratchet and clank does look amazing. but for never having played Halo i wouldnt go 360, it is amazing, but not liked by everybody. go ps3 for you. STICK TO YOUR ROOTS! unless oyu have 2 systems at the same time, in which case you need to spread out.

Answer 10
