Now that my exams are over and my degree is done, i can spend the rest of my student loan on one of them

I'd like pros and cons of each one and your own opinions and such

:>

Ps3, its an investment for the future

on the other hand 360 is already outdated, lags at current games.

omg so true!! i sold my 360 >.>

not to mention, ps3 has 8 cores...

360 has 3.

PS3 hands down

PS3 games are HD and 360 games arent
basically after BluRay won Xbox was screwed

Gotta be your 360 then, mine works like a charm.

I mostly have a 360 for Halo hehe. And the fact I had a Xbox. I also like the feeling of the 360 controller more than the ps3 one.

But the only way you could pick one is looking which of the exclusive games you like the most.

Xbox360, because I got one, and because, unlike the PS3, it doesn't come with the price you can buy 3 Wii's for. >>

360 games arnt HD? where the hell did you get that idea.

a while ago the ps3 was one of the cheapest blu-ray players you could get although i havnt checked latly. At the moment the 360 has more games and you dont have to install games to play them like you do with most of the big games on the ps3.

Do i want to know? -.-

yes, i do.

GO FOR PS3!

price has nothing to do with it. You can buy a ps3 for the same price as a 360. The only difference is you cant play ps2 games with it. But who is gonna do that? So seriously you can buy a ps3 for the same price. 360 has alot more games but 80% of the people dont play em. They only play 360 because of halo and thats it.

Where? Secondhand perhaps...But you won't get a brand new one for the 360 price lol

wherever you are you must have really cheap ps3s or really expensive 360s

I've always bought the playstations, I like the game exclusives better. But, I ended up buying an xbox because all of my friends have one, so it's nice to be able to go online and play with them when we can't get together. I'm going to buy a PS3 once they get more games out that i'd enjoy.

Check toysrus and many other places, i bought my ps3 for 300$

Dont know why people keep saying there so expensive whhen you CAN get it for cheap.

The 360 elite costs more than this.

Ps3 has better stuff so it costs a little more.

ps3 couse some awesome games are on their way + is your HD format

the elite only costs so much because of the massive (and for the majority of people useless) hard drive. Unless you need the massive hard drive for some crazy reason or you REALLY like black there isnt much reason in buying an elite over a premium

PS3 sure doesn't cost as much as 3 Wiis over here.

So yeah, I'd go for PS3 because I'm too primitive to use a XBOX joystick.

Also, Final Fantasy 13 and Gran Turismo 5.

*sigh* I asked so nicely, sometimes I think you guys just WANT me to be an angry bish.

/Locked for cleanup.

EDIT:/Topic reopened.

And please, this isn't about e-penises and ego's. Be nice and help Trice deciding which console he's gonna buy, and respect any opinions that are different from yours.

But, but, opinions that are different from mine are so obviously wrong!!! It's the American way!

Don't start or you can say bye bye to a potential cool user rank. ;)

Ruyi is incredibely hot when angry. I laugh at times when she wonders why people piss her off.

360 Lagging is not bullshit. when i had Halo 3 it had seroius lag in some places.

I did trade in my 360 for a PS3.

Things ive noticed

The Playstation 3 has ALOT More Freedom and settings. i was able to customize the TV Settings on the PS3 bewteen PAL , 520p 780p 1080i and 1080P if i cant display a game in 1080P it will try 1080i if it dosent work with then it will try 720p And so on.
On the 360 i had to change the setting seach time i wanted to a game in different HD Resolution.

Secuirty

PS3 is alot less strentus with keyboreds and mice. UT3 for the PS3 you can use a keybored and mouse on the 360 version you cant becasue they were worried becasue of secuirty issues. also with the PS3 You can install a 2nd Operating System Without going though any 3rd party illegal shit and it is very simple too.
sure it cant run microsoft windows but it can run linux many versions of ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux which allows the consle to be used for more many things. AFAIK with the 360 you have to get the consle flashed which means it cant be taken back if it breaks which is very likley with the 360

Noise , Heat , And Realibilty

OMG i thought the PS3 would be louder then my tele but its so QUIET Compared to my old 360. its like listen to a mouse walk acorss my carpet. with heat my 360 ussualy died to heat so i had to turn it off for bits of time , my PS3 is in the exact same place and never has proplems with heat.

O And theres the chance of you 360 pissing it self and dies While my PS3 comes and dilveres my slippers in the morning
(Thxs to "Yahtzee Croshaw" For that Quote ^^)

Cost

Now we know the Xbox360 just had quite a big price drop (Glad i traded mine in before it XD) but the PS3 and xbox 360 cost about nearly the same after all the extras for the 360 have been added up

FROM MY LOCAL GAME STORE ("Game")
Now For some reason my local store only stocks the elite version of the 360

40gb PS3 With CoD 4 And GTA 4 £349.99
Xbox 360 Elite Console (No Games) £259.99

Now Lets add all the Extras Shall We for the 360

CoD 4 And GTA 4 Are Both £40.00 Each
and if you want to play them online thats another £40.00 so that comes to £380.00 which is already more then the PS3 , Then whatt bout the PS3 online? O yea its FREE!!!!.

Games

Now thers no Denying that the 360 has a bigger game range. but the PS3 is coming to a time where the Really good games are starting to come out, Final fantasy 13 is coming soon and the Final Metal Gear solid (along with Metal Gear Online) is coming this thursday (Which i pre ordered) also with GTA 4 a Month Ago. (Sure the 360 is going to have more content but thats just mutiplayer addons i think)

O What of Halo, THAT WAS SUCH A KICK IN THE FU CKING BOLLECKS OH MY FU CKING GAWD. It just Sucked , Period. I litterly got robbed of £50.

So PS3
Xbox 360 has the same love i have for firefox some but not alot.

Vandango saves the day

thanks for the advice everyone, but i feel vannie just won the thread.

PS3 shall be my purchase :>

i would personally say to buy a wii. basicly for brawl and thats pretty much it

sorry, im a brawl fanatic

The novelty of the Wii wears off pretty quick.

All my xbox360 games are in hd. lol

I couldn't help but agree ;p

haha.

Thursday, $499, PS3 80 gig version + Metal Gear Solid 4, + Dualshock controller bundle. Get it.
