In terms of the system itself, ps3 is better but they are still quite similar and the 360 is a bit cheaper than the ps3.
Right now, 360 has alot of good games now while ps3 has almost none but they are getting good games in the future MGS4 and FFXIII.
man cant decide

gp with the ps3 cause the 360 has that bad glitch that makes it not work any more and the ps3 will pay it's self off in the future

I say PS3
Becasue if u think about is, it can play PS1 and PS2 games also which makes it a hell of a lot more variety of games u can play, while 360 doesn't have that many in comparason, lol ^.^

too bad the only one that i can afford (eventually) is the 40 gb ps3 which is 399, this one lacks the backwards capability so it cant play ps1 or ps2 games.
Well not that it really matter i'll just hook up my ps2 if i ever wanted to play and that.
I also heard the graphics are horrible if you play them in the ps3 as well as loads of errors and glitches

just wait for a while (like in a span of a few months or years) and go with the ps3. There will definitely be more games for the ps3. PS3 can play all of the ps1 and ps2 games so you have a huge library of games to choose from. In my place, xbox360 games are super rare and some of the games are not quite fun to play.

Go for a ps3, the upcoming games look pretty awesome and for now, you can play rock band.

ps3. for now the 360 has the advantage but the upcoming games for the ps3 like metal gear and final fantasy are too good and there are pretty good games for the ps3 right now like heavenly sword, uncharted, etc

Man after looking at some info at the ps3, I realized that the controller didn't have a rumble feature which really sucks. But I'm definately going to buy it regardless but i wish it would of have had it.

I'd say Xbox 360. Just because at the moment it has better games to offer than the PS3. Hopefully the PS3 will start releasing some games soon (Here's hoping for MGS4):wakuwaku:

PS3 will prove better on the long run. God of War 3+Kingdom Hearts 3 should be enough of a reason to buy it anyway. The 360 came out earlier so it will also die earlier. Look at the original xbox, while it had some successful titles, it never outsold or outclassed the ps2.

the 360 has more games, and better ones at that

Don't listen to anyone in this thread. The PS3 is a piece of shit. So far, a lot of 3rd party developers have dropped out of exclusivity for the system. There's rumors flying around that MGSIV won't even be exclusive anymore.
The 360's Library is a lot better. Dead Rising, Bioshock etc. The Orange box is multiplatform, but I know from personal experience that the PS3 prt of the game is utter crap. In many areas of the games the framerate drops to nearly unplayable levels.

I went with the 360, simply because it seemed like a safer choice. It has sold well, plenty of good games, and lots of support. The PS3 may pull ahead in the long run, but thats just speculation based on games that haven't come out...and thats a half a thousand dollar risk. <.<

All posts above me are mostly opinons
Funny how you didn't do enough research to see which console is good since they are so similar. Anyway im neutral at this moment

To .Hack: Ps3 isn't shit and Xbox and 360 wouldn't exist if Sony and Nintendo weren't competing against each other

Also if MSG4 did get ported to the 360, Kojima would't be doing the game but a different company and we all know what happen to MGS2 in the xbox

My Opinion Is To Get A 360 Now, Cause Of The Current Game Selection. And Buy A PS3 Later When The Price Drops More And The Good Games Finally Come Out... I Personally Have No Plans Of Buying A PS3... But If I Could Get A PS3 For Around $100 Or Some Other Really Good Deal, I Would (Not To Resell)...
It's Really A Personal Preference Though... Oh And When Buying A New Xbox 360 Check The Box To See If It Has HDMI. If It Has That, Then Red Ring Of Death Will Be Avoided.

? Did you mean buy a 360? I say go for the 360 right now. Its got better online features and a more solid game library. However, you should definately pick up a PS3 in the future as its game library is really starting to get good and the online will only get better aswell. I have both and can say that you'll be happy regardless of your decision the best thing to do is just weigh up the games and buy the system that has more of the games that you want.

Ps3 is allways the right choise
you can play Final Fantasy on it
and that is worth everything

I would go with the 360 for now. It has a good selection of games and can easily be modded for backups. I would wait to get a ps3 till the price drops some more, it just isn't worth it at the moment.

Depending on what you like, I would suggest you think about it, and then make a decision:
Are you willing to spend 600$ or 400$?
400$ Xbox360: No wifi, 20GB HDD or not, 50$ for online 14months, 3 usb ports
600-700$ Xbox360: 120GB or 20GB HDD, maybe HDMI, maybe Wifi?, 50$ for online 14months, POSSIBLE HD-DVD drive (or +200$ for external, if not elite xbox360), 3 usb ports
400$ Ps3: No wifi, 20GB HDD, no Ps2 Support, 2 or 4 USB ports, Blu-ray player, HDMI, Free online
600$ Ps3: Wifi, 60GB or 80GB HDD, Card Reader, Blu-ray player, HDMI, Free online
As for some thinking,
Great used and new games? Xbox360
Great new games?(hopefully) Ps3
Which controller do you like more?
If you want a web browser / linux on your TV, Ps3
If you want to buy movies online and download them, Xbox360
Like Halo 3? Ps3 (I kid...)
As for graphic comparisons,
I too could lie or make up some comparison with the other one blurred, believe me you won't really be able to tell the difference unless its a REALLY bad port.
If this doesn't help you decide,
Do you have alot of time to play lots of games? Xbox360
Are you a more reserved tech junkie? Ps3
Are you a three year old? Wii (... >_>;)

I'd go for PS3
just being able to play FF13 is already worth the price
most games I'm interested in are exclusive for PS3
I'd rather buy a Wii than X360 if you're not considering PS3

I say Xbox 360, because it has the best games and you don't know yet if the ps3 is going to go the way of sega dreamcast

PS3 maybe its a good choice but it hasnt many sooo good games yet and 360 has some vry good games 3RD XD ...so haard
If you want the best game selection out at the moment, Go for the xbox 360. If you want a blu-ray player (nearly obsolete already though) And final fantasy 13 (damn taking along time to come out hasn't it?) Go for the ps3. The wii if you want something different, Though it doesn't interest me much your a different person.

Without a doubt, I'd go for an X-Box 360. The selection is so much better, and that's a winner to me. The PS3 just doesn't have the draw the 360 does, nor the games.
I would the PS3 prefer. Its quite simple because the 360 has a HD-DVD drive (which is dead, because toshiba has dropped the production of it) and the PS3 a Blu-Ray drive.
Blu-Ray is the technoglogy of the future and microsoft had made the wrong decision to select HD-DVD. xD

Go with the 360 it has better games and it's cheaper then the ps3.

The 360 doesn't have a HD-DVD Drive, Theres the additional USB one that goes for about 50$ now. You don't need it but it's just there. Also Blu-Ray is nearly obsolete already so it really doesn't matter :-/.

T Also Blu-Ray is nearly obsolete already so it really doesn't matter :-/.
Really?
Either way, theres talks that microsoft is going to give 360 blu ray support. Not sure if theyre going to have an add-on like they did with HD-DVD or have it integrated into the system. Personally I would prefer an add-on.

With the new 1TB Discs coming out in 2010 that will be cheaper then a blu-ray disc :)
But Yea, The add ons are nice if there cheap. Would really suck knowing the 33% rate to have your 360 and blu-ray player go.

ps3 definitely.......
why?
cause almost all the best games are there....

agreed with hoenn...........
there are no ff and harvest moon series on the 360...

ya forgot to mention Metal Gear and Devil May Cry lolz........
agreed with hoenn...........

There's no condemned, Halo, Gears of war, Banjo kazooie 3, Fable 2. And a few others still (border lands :D) On a ps3
There really is no "next gen" final fantasy till 13 comes out. And there's no harvest moon for the ps3, It's only confirmed for the wii. But yea I'd rather have a steady lines of games then waiting so long for one (brawl, ff13) Hopefully MSG4 Doesn't get delayed or anything :-/...Would really blow to see ps3's heavy hitter game get delayed : (

Wow, I didnt hear about that. Ill definetly look forward to their arrival. :JFBQ00213070516A:
Last I checked, final fantasy 11 is on 360 but I doubt that counts. As for Devil may Cry um......yeah, thats on 360 too folks. As for metal gear, I can personally live without it. I played the first one a few years back and wasnt too impressed. And, even though Im not a fan of the series, GTA 4 will have exclusive episodic content for 360 (you know...whenever that game actually comes out).

yeah but still is more likely that harvest moon will come out in the ps than in the xbox, and also banjo kazooie isnt that great, at least for me, about fable and halo, yeah they are great games... and also its true that xbox360 is better than ps3...for now, cuz a lot of great exclusive games will only be for ps3 and not xbox360, which list is smaller than ps3s.........
Good news, Blu-Ray support on the 360 soon. Possibly another addon like the HD-DVD Player.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Damn, I think I might go pick up a HD-DVD addon, There like 50$ on ebay.
To see really what difference there is in standard dvd to hd of course...

Yeah I read a similar article a few days ago. Again, not too suprising. I still believe that they will make an add on like they did HDDVD.
Oh shi-! M$ Said gtfo that blu-ray my xbox!
Quote:
They may have to support it for some of their products, but Microsoft is being vocal about their non-support of Blu-ray technology when it comes to the Xbox 360.
Microsoft's own Aaron Greenberg flat out told Reuters that Sony's Blu-ray technology would not be integrated into the 360 saying that "Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience". So, can we now officially put to rest any rumors or talk of Microsoft releasing an Xbox 360 Blu-ray attachment? Please?
