I'm thinking of buying one, before I was only thinking of 360 but since the new PS3 Slim is both $299 and sexy it may now be what I want. Right now though I am leaning towards the 360.

Things to take into consideration:
- I'm going to base which one I buy on exclusives for that console only. If the game is also coming out on PC, I WILL get the pc version of a console version.
- Graphics/HD none of that shit matters to me only the quality of the games.

It's more about the list of current exclusives for the console and the upcoming exclusives, a list I'm actually having trouble finding so if someone can help me out here. How good is the PS3 marketplace? Does it hold up against the 360 counterpart?

Wait for the PS3 120 gb. Apparently there are some really good games for PS3 that are coming (most notably for me, God of War 3).

There's also other stuff like Resistance 2, Killzone 2, MGS4

I'd say (thought I can't actually say I'm completely informed) that, while the 360 has a lot of great games, the PS3 has a lot of exclusives to which I am really looking forward. It's also got some great exclusives out right now, too.

For right now, though, you'll probably be able to find more games on the 360 that you couldn't otherwise find on the PS3.

Apparently, discussion of consoles always lead to fanboys trolling each other. I would prefer the 360, however Sony is such an a$$ not to release their "exclusives" to the pc, so the PS3 might be a better deal.

basically for the ps3 theres alot of pretty good games like resistance 2 MGS4 a new better tales of vesperia is coming for the ps3 this year im not sure if you like rpg-ish games but i would buy it valkyria chronicles is pretty good and im not sure if you like to mass buttons or not but i like to steam roll people in dynasty warriors 6 ninja gaiden is a pretty good action adventure game and the 2nd one is coming out for the ps3. if you racing games wait for gran turismo 5 or try motorstorm and if you like god of war. god of war 3 comes out in 2010. also the internet for the ps3 is free so . For the market 360 sells more because it was just generally cheaper while ps3 was more expensive but its cheap now and it holds more data and isnt easily broken as a 360. i think its a good buy and sorry for my super long post

PS3 60GB with PS2 playback

If you didn't throw your PS2 away, well then just wait for the 120.

Exclusive titles do not really matter these days. You can always find a port or a similar counterpart. If you love MGS and wait for GoW3/new ICO game, go get a PS3 Slim. Or you can buy a Xbox360 to play Splinter Cell: Conviction, Dante's Inferno (oops, it's also on PS3) and Fable III next year.

One thing, for downloadable titles, XBLA >>>>> PSN. I LOVE CASTLE CRASHERS HAHAHA.

If you only play exclusives, get a PS3. Multiplatform games on PS3 are 99% of the time inferior to the Xbox 360 version. If you were getting a console as your ONLY gaming platform, then Xbox 360 is probably better.

I have a 360 but I'd recommend you get the PS3. It has more exclusives that will never go to PC, it plays Blu-ray, it has built-in wifi, and it doesn't break after a year.

I mostly use my 360 to rent games and I try not to buy anything unless it's $20 or less used so I don't have too much money invested in it when it eventually breaks out of warranty (my warranty ends this year).

After my warranty ends, I'll probably buy a PS3 Slim. I am still interested in buying whatever the next Xbox will be though, because other than the hardware being unreliable it's been a great experience.

I loled, but it's true, XBox 360s still break down easy....

You can install an OS in PS3, then maybe install sc?


hmm, on topic..Get a PS3 with PS1/2 play back, sure the graphics won't be any better but you still get to play those old favorites. I have a PS3 here for about 3 years already and it's still working fine.

It depends on what you like but from owning a PS3 here's my take:

Reliability: PS3 is more reliable than X360... reports are X360 have ~50% fail rate: Source

Online Functionality: XBOX Live trumps PS Network, although i'm satisfied with PS3's online capabilities for COD4, Little Big Planet and NHL 09

FPS Games: X360 has equal FPS lineup to PS3 (Halo 3 and GoW = Resistance and Killzone)

Action Games: Both have GTA, but PS3 has Metal Gear Solid

RPG Games: Both are getting Final Fantasy, but X360 has more RPG's since launch...

Sports Games: Equal level of games... only fanboys will tell you otherwise.

Driving Games: X360 has advantage with Forza, and PS3 owners still don't know when GT5 is coming out...

overall, PS3 is better cause i know it won't fail on me unlike X360's reputation. Both have equivalent games, but reliability's gotta be a deal breaker.
just lurking around...

Well yeah, this is also true.
My pc sucks bad (pentium 3), so I play the games I want on the PS3 (if ever they're available). But then I realized that if I saved up instead of buying those games, it would only take me 4~5 games and then I'll have a great pc already.

This.

Although 360 seem like it dominating the gaming industry right now, it somehow lack the exclusive title just mean for 360. Meanwhile, PS3 have almost every game that 360 have.

You can check the list of Xbox 360 exclusive title HERE

The only exclusive title that I wanna play for 360 right now is Fable 2 and Gears of War 2, while the rest is just bleh.
