ps3 or xbox 360?

[JDMEK18]

My vote goes for 360 / cause it has good game selection and online options are great! Everyone that i talk to with a ps3 just got it for blu-ray! not to play games.. I would agree if you want a blu-ray then grab the ps3 but if you want to play games and download content..etc.... then xbox 360 all the way.

xbox360 + puchase a blu-ray = perfect setup!

[BKgen®]

both.

[wOZrally]

I have a ps3 and I play games.... so that argument it moot.

I just don't play EVERY game out there, only those I like, and so far, the PS3 has all those that I like.....

Xbox 360 gets my vote.

It just gets more game coverage. Plus it has halo.

But really both are great systems, but I HATE the L2 and R2 buttons on the ps3.

ps3 FTW!!

PS3 is better:you ask why? I think play station is better as a system. It has blue ray, web, etc..I don't own a ps3, but when i play at my friends house, there is too much loading, and alot of times it would say "reading hdd" or something like that. So IMO ps3 is better as a system because it has way more stuff and way more money was invested in it. Also, me and few of my friends were playing a tournament in fifa 09, and being offline, the game was lagging. ps3 as a gaming console FTL PS3 as a system for anything other than gaming, FTW.

360 is better: you ask why, yes it doesn't have blue ray, it doesn't have web, but who the fuck needs that on a gaming system. Personally, i think 360 is better as a gaming console, it has less loading, no freeze ups no etc....

Just get both, there both on sale you can have a Ps3 and a Xbox360 for the price of the elite now. So basicly 370 bucks. For all of the people who dout me look at all of the deals around.

i know someone posted the IGN review from the PS3 section but this is watch really counts:

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...t-a-pretty-one

check out who has the biggest game sales - 360 is like 2x both consoles... if you are out selling other consoles this is what 3rd party software developers are going to look at; especially for sales in the US.

• Total third party sales for the Xbox 360 since launch is currently 67,929,999 units, followed by the Wii at 33,394,311 units and the PlayStation 3 at 19,976,325 units.
• Third party sales for the Xbox 360 since the launch of the Wii and PS3 is 54,065,728 units, still almost double the Wii's 33,394,311 units.
• If you take the total number of units sold and divide that by the number of titles released since November 2006, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are selling more units per title on average than the Wii. This puts the Xbox 360 at 217,252 units per title, the PS3 at 156,065 units and the Wii at 132,517 units.

Soooo just curious? have you guys some how magically time traveled to Christmas 09 and played GT5 and that is what your basing this comment on? Or are you simply judging GT5:Prologue and calling that an accurate representation of GT5? Granted it's called out that it is expanding on the GT5:P game but that was simply a tease of what is to come.

Gran Turismo 5 (also known as GT5) is the fifth edition of the Gran Turismo series. Expanding on the Prologue version, it will be the first of the main numbered series to be released for the PlayStation 3. Gran Turismo 5's release date has been confirmed to be Christmas 2009 by SCEE Vice President James Armstrong in an interview with Spanish website El Financiero. He is quoted as saying

"For next year, for southern Europe we are developing a new game thriller, in which the player may be designing their own history, and the new version of Gran Turismo, which will at Christmas."

It has been confirmed that the Top Gear test track will be featured in the game. It will also include damage, day and night cycles, and changing weather conditions. Aswell as an open airfield to test out your car and do your own road tests.

well the tease of what is to come come sucks.

[aneel]

i have both. i like both just the same.

i use the ps3 more cause online gaming is free. while it is better that it is free, it gives hackers a better chance, since if they get banned, they can just make a new account, but on the other hand, i didnt wanna pay for xbox live, so my xbox is for local playing only.

as far as gaming options, the xbox right now has more games, better games, but like redgt said, it's reached its limit while the ps3 has not.

forza 2 > gt5

explains why u bought an evo... i keed i keed to each his own..

i own both as well.. ps3=360... PS3+Logitech G25>>>>>>360

[EJ25RUN]

well the tease of what is to come come sucks.

I played Forza 2 for 2 months and never picked it up again.

Now, I have played GT5 almost every day for the past year.

I'll have to disagree with you on that one.

[neon_guy]

I don't buy blu-rays and I rarely watch blu-rays so that's PS3 for blu-ray only point is moot. I bought my PS3 for gaming. I love everything else on it, but I bought it for gaming. XBOX has some nice exclusive titles but none that I like. Forza's okay but it's not GT. PGR is okay but it's not GT. So, I'm gonna do a list of why I bought PS3.
1) GT5P
2) Wangan Midnight (it's in Japanese, but still hella fun and not available on xbox)
3) Initial D Extreme Stage (another Japanese title...read a port of IDS4 Arcade).
4) GT5

GT5P>Forza 1-whatever. I don't base my games on how well the car crashes because in race sims (similar to real racing), I try not to crash my car. Thusly, I don't need a damage engine for the game to be effective. I like appearance and functionality. GT has both over Forza.

I suggest checking out GRiD for PS3

[neon_guy]

Got the demo. Lotta fun. But I don't want two games where I can't customize anything. (well, actually, GT5P DOES have a lot of tuneability once you beat A Class, but much less that what I like).

i have both consoles and i still prefer my ps3 as a BETTER system. now as far as GAMES the 360 had more/better. its all on persona opinion. i own both system and needless to say the 360 just acts cheap for 399 (when it first came out) it had so many problems now i can honestly say it hasn't got the red ring of death and mine is a 1st gen 360 but i have to sadly admit it will soon, the only problems i am having with it other then occasional freezing is the disk tray wont open if a disk is NOT in there. Otherwise i have to tap or kinda hit the chrome part repeatedly to open. OH and the power brick failed and i had to buy a new one. Which was an extra 89$ to that 399 or 499 i forgot the pricing.

As for my ps3 i can say i NEVER had one problem with it.
Other then it was 600$ (when new). Also i got a 60 GB hard drive over a shitty 20, but w/software= 13-14 GB, and i have to pay a 100+ for a 120GB Hard drive. What makes it worst is that the PS3 allows you to buy OTHER products that are FULLY compatible with there product unlike Microsoft "If its not ours it will valid your warranty BS". Hell i can up grade my PS3 WITH ANY SATA 2.5'' Hard drive, IMO that pretty bitching and best part is 500g HD cost a little over 60$.

I didn't read all post, but someone was said the internet, etc was useless and the bought a GAMING console... humm correct me if im wrong but a gaming console is a computer they have ram, video cards, mother boards, etc so to say the internet was useless (even though that was your own opinion) was a failed attempted at shooting the PS3 down. Would you rather have a 600$ system not have all the extra things like web surfing, blue ray, etc. If so then that's prolly why you bought a 360.

(Excuse any typos or Fill in the blanks type sentence)

/rant

EDIT: I prefer the PS3 but its all under personal preferences. Be sides there are too many Fan Bitches meaning that in a respectable way. (please don't take any thing to heart) Now if you want a system that is more noob.. err user friendly the 360 will get the job done on all accounts. Its fun and has great games.(Basically: I prefer the Ps3 but recommend the 360 (just pay for that extra insurances, and you will need a decent TV to see certain small text game EX: Dead rising, The 360 dosnt have aspect ratios the PS3 offers. lol






BTW Proof of the systems, and yes even though i prefer my PS3 i play the 360 more.




and i have my AV audio cords going the JVC system..... My 360 gets the 20'' HD monitor and the PS3 gets the 20 inch gay Magnavox stander def. but at least i can see everything.

Uh... PC gamers?

I'm just gonna throw this out there. PS3 PWNZ 360 cuz you can get on the internet and watch AND download (should it behoothe you to do so) porn...FOR FREE. While I haven't downloaded any, I've watched a GANG of FREE porn on my PS3. The first time was just by happensake. Every other time was usually showing someone...hey, look what I can do on my PS3. That and I have a 65" 1080i DLP tv. Score and Vivid's HD stuff looks really good on that...except the money shot. Nastier than it should be.

Check out this link, it is a side by side comparison of hardware, this should tell you something about the capabilities of both systems, and where each of them are headed. Frankly, I doubt the 360 is going to get any better looking from here on out.

http://www.futuregamez.net/hardware/...em/system.html

Here is a link to wikipedia giving the different 360's you can buy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_36...configurations

Now one for PS3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaySta...configurations

(on a side note, I have the 60Gig PS3 with the Emotion Engine for backwards compatibility)

I have both, and honestly, the only reason that I bought the 360 was so I could play Halo and Forza 2. I have 2 other games for the 360 - Assassin's Creed, and Splinter Cell Double Agent. I over twice the amount of games for my PS3, and they look better. My 360 is currently sitting at my parents house, so when my son gets home from school, he has something to play.

I remember reading an article back in 2006/07 that compared what you got with the base model PS3, as opposed to the top model 360 (of the time) based on price; The PS3 still won. If I could find the article, I'd link it here.

It's going to come down to personal opinion, but honestly the PS3 does have more (and more potential) than the 360.
