For those of you with more than one 7th gen console

I have a question, is it worth it?
You see I have a Play Station 3 I love with my harts content but I am looking to buy a 360 purely because of a few exclusives GOW 1/2 Halo and Fable, however I don't want to spend £200+ on something im not going to use after a few months and me being the sony fan boy I am I would buy the majority of multi platform games for my ps3 only getting 360 exclusives and games I know I will enjoy more on the 360 (people to play online with ect)

So I wanted to ask those of you who have bought a second console was it double the fun or do you now have a expensive dust collector?

I used to own only a 360, and recently bought a PS3 for some of the exclusives that are going to be coming out on it (As well as the built in Blu-Ray player). So far I still love both of them, I try to alternate with multi-platform games. If I get one on the 360, I'll get the next one on the PS3 and so forth. Though with FPS games I tend to stick to 360 if possible, and once there are some multi-platform RPGs, I'll be getting those for PS3 (Habit I guess, RPGs just feel...right...on Playstation.)

So yeah, for me it's double the fun. If you only want a 360 for those games you mentioned you might want to wait for the price to drop a little more.

I've got all 3, and I am glad that I do, solely so I can play all the exclusives that I really want, and overall it just makes the area around my tv look nicer, more cluttered.

it is really like buying food that constantly refills itself,if you have just one that only change periodically then you will get sick of it,i got a 360 and a PS3 though and the only thing i use my PS3 for is movies.

I'd rank them this way: 360, PS3, Wii. The 360 has a lot more games that I'm interested in (and/or a better way to play non-exclusives) but the PS3 has the occasional game that is exclusive: LittleBigPlanet, the PixelJunk games, etc.

RPGs I prefer the PS3

Just out of curiosity (no, I'm not being a smart ass), what RPG's for the PS3?

 

[TsunamiWombat]

What GAMES are there for the ps3 besides MGS4 period? I really want to know.

I was given a PS3 60gb for xmas last year, (yay for backwards compatability) and I recently bought a 360. Although I love both of these consoles, and I think the 360 has some excellent features and abilities, that I wish the PS3 came with, the fact that 2 360's have crapped out on me, one due to hardware malfunction, and the other due to a system update patch from microsoft itself, (huh?) makes me appreciate the PS3 a lot more now. Although it definitely is far from perfect, it has yet to let me down in any way, and always runs smoothly and properly. Anyways, I really think that by owning both consoles, you get the full spectrum of "Non-Wii" console gaming... because lets be honest... the wii blows.

In otherwords, if you can afford both, go for it, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Oh I forgot to mention I really don't care for your opinions on games/consoles/shoes please just stick to the question at hand.

have fun with that list

Considering 3/4th's of the list says "TBA", it's hard to have fun with it.

(this, coming from someone who prefers the PS3 over the 360)

A majority of those games are either in development or also available for 360.
Here's a list of exclusives, but a bunch of them are still unreleased.

I don't want to spend £200+

Then don't. You can get a 360 and a game for £129 in GAMESTATION/GAME

Well I always liked the little pink shoes, even better if they have have hello kitty on them. But If you have the money I would say do it; though you will also have to bare in mind the cost for Xbox Live, as I'm guessing you mainly want the Xbox to play online. Besides, you may also want to save for all the new games coming out. But it all comes down to money.

Trust me matey, I wasted money on all three : (

One nice thing about two consoles: even when it comes to non-exclusives, it gives you the chance to either

A. pick up the copy that's 'better' as in the case of The Orange Box,

and

B. if A isn't true for a title, pick it up when it goes on sale for either console/if it drops price faster on one console than another.

just a quick question...... If you have a PC why would you buy orange box (or any FPS for that matter) for a console?

Back to the question.

1. I have both and the ps3 collects dust. I dont even use it for blue-ray movies that often because it's cheaper to rent it in HD on my 360 and stream it to my nice big TV. I'm assuming your PS3 will do the same if you buy the 360 except for the occasional exclusive on the ps3. Theres just alot more games for the 360, period. Im not being a fanboy or giving you a skewed opinion. It's just that way.

2. With the current state of gaming, 3rd party developers are going to look less towards exclusives and more towards first release dates to make more money. If the sell a game really well to 2/3rds of 360 owners, more then likley it will do just as well if not better on Ps3 as well. This making them double the profit they would have made only releasing it to the 360 player base. As with rock band 2. It will be out for PS3 but at a later date. FF13 is going to be a dual release but one is getting it a month or two ahead of the other. Unless its a mario game its probably going to be on all the consoles. So my advice to you is look at it like this, are you too spoiled to wait a few months for the game to release on your PS3 or do you have to have it the exact day it comes out?

EDIT: I was trying for satire here, I failed.

Don't take it seriously. /EDIT

Because the only people that believe that PC FPS's are better in everyway are trademark PC fanboys, us normal people enjoy being comfy on a sofa or bed not sitting at a desk and we don't all have UBERL33T KEYBORD SKILZZ!!!"£!!1
We don't want to spend hundreds of hours training so we don't get destroyed online, we mostly play for FUN. Something PC gamers seem to have forgotten about.

 

[klc0100]

This threads going down the wrong direction

@Jobz: that was the ideal reply I would probably get more than those 3 games and borrow others from friends.

@hiandhappy: that's what i fear not using the 360 to play games but using it as a ...w/e it will be used as if I don't play games on it.

Worth it to me. I have a Wii and a 360 (getting a PS3 soon) and some of the exclusives alone are worth it. I'm glad I got to play Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports, Halo 3, Virtua Fighter 5, and Oblivion. True, exclusive content is becoming more and more rare, so it may not be worth it in the future to have more than one system, but for me, for now, it's a necessity.
