Speaking as someone who owns a PS3, Wii and Xbox 360; get a 360. You can buy Live for 30 quid a year instead of 60 if you go to play.com, and the online system is far better and the RRoD problem was fixed long ago, for anyone who still uses that as an argument.
This. I completely agree because what I've seen is that PS3 exclusives are very much graphically orientated while PC and/or Xbox exclusives seem to be more gameplay orientatedbcponpcp27 said:
I'm proud that this has not boiled down to a flame war
Thanks! and thats a bummer. Well considering the only thing I don't have is an xbox 360, i'd say get an xbox 360...My only reasoning is that pretty much everything else is collecting dust cept my ps3 which is dominantly just being used as a blu-ray player :s
Considering the "new" xbox for 2010 might be a rumour mixed up with the natal project, there might be no real point in waiting. Considering the recent price drop, wouldn't hurt to buy a 360 elite like I will be doing shortly.

I've had all three at one point and have to say i prefer the 360 because of XBL and a general preference for the games. Both PS3 and the 360 have their share of good games so it depend on your tastes. For the love of God don't get the Wii though. I sold it after maybe four months after no games actually came out on the thing.
EDIT: If you get the 360 make sure to get Xbox Live as it makes the console so much better.

When I say you get what you pay for, I don't mean which has a higher price, I literally mean you are getting WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. In the 360, you pay for it to play games, and a little bit of that purchase price goes to its ability to play DVDs. For a PS3, you pay significantly less for its gaming abilities, because you are shelling out most of its huge price tag for its ability to play Blu-Ray movies that almost nobody buys.Clashero said:
Also, the fact that the 360 bricks itself so much and is still so popular, attests to its extreme quality of gaming entertainment, if you take care of a 360 properly, you can lower its failure rate by leaps and bounds, for instance, most people place it vertically, that is bad for it, place it on its side and it will be much more reliable (due to cooling/ stability problems when placed vertically)
Not to mention, PS3 online is free, but it sucks, xbox live is amazing, and there is a reason PS3 is copying its achievement system with "trophies" and most exclusive DLC is for xbox live (Fallout 3 (not totally exlusive, but delayed for PS3), GTA4, the list goes on and on and on)its because xbox live is MUCH BETTER, and with this generation putting a major emphasis on online gaming, the 360 takes home the gold
EDIT: Left 4 Dead alone is enough to put xbox 360 ahead of the PS3 despite all of those titles you mentioned, but there are a whole heap of exclusived out there, just do a google search "xbox 360 exclusive games" there are a huge number of them. Besides half of those games you mentioned are crappy action games anyway, PS3 has been trying to fill the gap from the decline of RPG's, they do it with action games, the 360 does it with FPS's. I love multiplayer play, and I would much rather play a good multiplayer FPS like Left 4 Dead.
Really? Name 5 good Xbox games, and I dare you not to use the word Halo. The console was carried by Halo and GoW, and any console that relies on 3 or 4 games is not "the best in every way". Yeah I guess it had online, but it was online for the same fucking 3 or 4 games. To be honest if I want to play online I use a PC. (Read: Mods, Mouse/Keyboard, vent, less 10 year olds...). Oh, and you don't need online to play a game FYI, not that you'd admit that of course since you're apparently a Microsoft fanboy (ironically you've probably crucified Sony before in posts criticizing their *free* online).Fredrick2003 said:
On the otherhand the Ps2 had TONS AND TONS of games, and many of them were actually good (not all FPS cutouts). And it still sells hundreds of thousands of consoles. Something that makes a lot of money is shit eh? Well I'd like to introduce you to my friend here -Xbox Live-, who must suck some serious ass huh?
I use to swear by the 360 up and down, but now that I bought a ps3 its a tough choice. I've owned a 360 for awhile, I'm more excited at the moment for the ps3 because of all the great exclusives I've passed up and get to play. For the value, the ps3 blows the 360 out of the water. Free online, built in wifi, rechargeable controller, and a blueray player. That said, 360 is still my primary console for multiplatform games because I like the controller better, XBL is a better service(you get what you pay for), and my friends own 360s.
I'm sure its been said many times by now, but find the exclusives you like more and buy based off that. They are GAMING machines, get the one that has the games you want.
