HI GUYS @ TL. I've finally decided to shell out the bucks for a serious game system since the wii had absolutely no games come out for it that were any good. Problem is I can't decide whether to get PS3/360. I've looked at some comparing cites and I'm still at a loss. Since both the 360elite and ps3 are ~300 dollars, price is not much of an issue any more. Here are my thoughts so far:
PS3: Blue Ray Free online More Potential processor for future games For cross platform games, games have been encoded and may not run as smoothly
360: Lots of games Better online system "better" graphics ?? Have to pay for xbox live "better" exclusives ??
So, if you guys could tell me what you think; Share your experience of which game system you have/played/what you do with it. So far i'm leaning to PS3 because i'm a cheap ass who doesnt like paying for internet play and I dont know how many games I plan to own. A smaller library may not effect me as much as the casual gamer.
Personally, I feel the PS3 has a better gaming library. A lot of the better 360 games are also on PC and as an avid fan of RPG's the PS3 delivers in that category. All of my friends have 360's as well, so if I want to play any exclusives I have that option.
Buy a wii for sure. Best games ever. Wii resort is so fun. So is Animal crossing. You can even play flash based games on the wii cause theres a built in Opera browser in it.

I have both a PS3 and a 360 but if I was deciding between keeping one or the other; Personally I would go with PS3, it's easy for me to say that most games on 360 just seem somewhat choppy (Not a lot, but somewhat) in comparison to the PS3, but it's better to see for yourself before deciding.
I'd avoid consoles, save and get a high end computer. Every game I've cared to play has had a PC version that's always been said to be better then the console versions.
I have both and I'd recommend the PS3. Honestly, it's just a much more complete package (wireless, bluray, free online play, etc). The only downside of it being that there are less users online but I'm more of a casual gamer so even the $60 XBL annual fee seems like a waste for me.
If there are some 360 exclusives that you really want to play, that's the only time I'd recommend getting a 360. That or if all your friends have a 360 and no ps3.
Get the Ps3 Key reason: MUCH lower fail rate (xbox is infamous for red rings, even 2nd gen xbox have fail rates around 30-40% vs ps3 around 10%). Also, seems like they are working on a patch to make the Ps3 fully backwards compatible
Then there is... Blu Ray Free online ->***Uncharted 2***<- (seriously best game made in a long time)
If you don't mind the fail rate though... I guess XB's not bad
Some more Ps3 exclusives include: Demon's Souls Disgaea Gran Turismo God of War Infamous Killzone 2 Little Big Planet MAG Metal Gear Solid Ratchet and Clank
Xb360 exclusives: Halo Fable Forza Gears of War Left 4 Dead Mass Effect
Any game with online play is over ratted without clans it's just full of annoying 12 year olds that scream and do stupid shit and are not friendly. Really xbox live is just a way to get you pissed off. I remember when only like a few thousand had xbox live it was good you join a game and people were older and nicer now the overall is to meaner and younger
its basically just about what exclusives you like more and if you are interested in blu-ray or not.
if for some reason you like halo, then 360 might be better
if you like good games then the ps3 is better
Hi ozzie!!
As most of you pointed out ps3 is probably the better choice, and I was also already leaning that way since the most recent price drop. Here are some of my turn on's/off's to help you get a better idea as one person suggested:
Turn on's: FPS RPG RTS (lol) Platform Party Strategy Action/Adventure
Turn off's: Racing Sports Games Simulation Bad Storylines
I don't know how true this is anymore, but my major concern was that @ the beginning of the launch the ps3's library had a high ratio of racing games and ETA games which look pretty but are not fun (for me at least). I say your comments have swayed me from 55/45 to about 78/22 in ps3's favor.
The one 360 exclusive i know id play is Fable2/3 - but I think giving that up for Uncharted2 (which i had to google), MGS, and Lair (just b/c of the starcraft reference) is worth it as long as ps3 isnt filled to the brim w/ bad games (see turn off's)

Fixed the 360 list to accurately reflect its library of exclusives.

Are those for the ps3 or do you not count them b/c they are for the PC? O and btw im not really a halo guy. It was okay (played pc version) but dont see why everyone jacks off to it.
Consoles suck right now because ps3 is best (bluray player , better games etc), but xbox has the better internet/multiplayer base, and wii has all the sega/nintendo franchise.
most of the stuff for wii sucks, but all the mario games are legit. The main thing I hate about wii though is that none of the games offer customizable controls.
Take mario kart wii for example, that game 100% needs customized controls but there is no way to change them. The only thing that even comes close is if you use wii wheel, gamepad, or wii-mote + nunchuk, all of which suck because they are all clumsily setup in some way..
All my friends that come play games at my house leaving dying wanting a PS3. Especially the ones with a 360. Sure Xbox live is better than PSN but PSN is definitely good enough and I play SF4 online in Canada and still find competition pretty easily. Built in internet browser is perfect for streaming stuff, bluray is the future, easy media linking to your PC, somepretty wicked rpgs and a shit ton of shared games between it and xbox. If you are a diehard shooter fan go 360, anything else PS3. Also PS3 will last a fuck ton longer than 360. If you are a hardcore gamer looking to get into a console and it took you this long to buy a next gen console, be prepared to get pissed off in a couple of years when you need to replace your 360 with whatever xbox makes to compete with higher end PS3 games, thats how 360 was released > to beat ps2 which came out before xbox origianl. gg fagbox.

For PC also, and most games for PC/Console are actually better with keyboard/mouse. Like Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead. Games like Mirrors Edge or Braid are better with a controller.
Also I don't wanna hear "oh well pc doesnt count so it still is exclusive". That's bullshit and everyone knows it, any decent or mid range PC/laptop can play most games released both on consoles and pc with no problem at all.
just go to your friend's house to play console exclusive games, and use your pc to pirate everything else ??? save money / games are better if u don't own them
Again, PS3 is the system you get if you have friends that you are sure that you're going to be sharing this system with. I agree with everyone here saying that PS3 is a overall better system, but it's not companion friendly.

I disagree with this. Even though the wii has a very low failure rate, and is probably the best system out there for multiplayer gaming, it doesn't have the games to back it up. Most of the games released for the wii are games that emphasize its "wiimote" technology or are continuations off of old series. 360 and PS3 just simply have better games. Don't believe me? Play "Star Wars: The Force Unleased" on both the wii and the 360 and you be the judge.
I'd recommend a Wii, and get Metriod Prime Trilogy. I don't know what you are talking about when you say there's no good games for wii, there's a lot of them and I see a lot of good titles on the horizon for the Wii..

for every 'good' game on wii theres at least 10 on any other system. 2/3'rds of metroid prime trilogy was for gc and i already played them. IMHO the only good wii games are games you turn into drinking games i.e. mario party etcetc
EPT
