Shall I Swap Ps3 for 360 today?

[Laughing Man]

Oh sigh, the answer is easy. Online isn't worth considering because anyone who buys a console based on it's online ability is making the wrong choice as they should have bought a PC to start with. The online aspect is a secondary issue when it comes to console choice as are blu ray, media capability, PSN, Live and all the other crap people use to justify their choice. Even graphics are a moot point because a real person in the real world wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 360 graphics and PS3 graphics and the only people who care are fanboy morons who have no other course to go when it comes to bashing the opposition.

So what does that leave? Well games. You buy a console to play games so weather you buy an XBox or a PS3 comes down to what games you want to play on it. Since 90% of major titles will get a multi format release the biggest decider is which exclusive games are the ones you want to play. Which ever console has the most is the one you get.

Saying that you would have to be mental to trade a PS3 in to get an XBox now, you would be better off holding on to the PS3 and then getting a cheap 360 that way you get the best of both worlds and don't have to compromise.

I would keep my PS3 and buy an Xbox 360. I'm thinking about investing in a PS3. GOnna get an HDTV first though.

I love how people justify the PS3 because "All 360 come to PC eventually" - Whilst this has some element of truth, the fact that you'd need a monolithic PC to run the games anywhere near the 360's graphical level & without slow down is a huge hole in the argument.

I own both, and though I got the PS3 just for the exclusive titles, so far they've been a let down, MGS4 was passable, but KZ2 and LBP have been grossly overrated in my opinion, plus XBL leaves PSN in the dust, free or otherwise.

It already seems like you've made up your mind, so you don't really need our approval or for us to tell you you're wrong.

I do have to agree with the thing about the controllers; the PS3 controllers feel very awkward and unnatural.

 

[Baby Tea]

I have a 360 and am happy. LA Noire is my main jealous title. We'll see.

LA Noire isn't coming to 360??
Well that sucks.

Red Ring Of Death?

I got through 4 360's in a month before reverting back to a PS2

i guess u abused urs then ive had mine for 2 and a half years no rrod no probs what so ever as long as u look after it

 

[gobblecoque]

...you'd need a monolithic PC to run the games anywhere near the 360's graphical level & without slow down...

No, you wouldn't.

 

[Dudemeister]

No, I have both a PS3 and a 360 and I have to say, I find the PS3 to be superior in all ways.
Having said that, I think it's pretty clear you've already made your mind up so it doesn't really matter what I say.
Still, don't, it's not worth it.

 

[confernal]

I'd give you a well layed out point by point list of pro and cons but.... I'm to tired so flip a coin.

 

[Ghadente]

MGS, FF, GoW crap?... are you joking?
wtf shit games do you play!?
to say you don't care for them is ok (i guess) but to claim they are crap is obsurd and just plain ignorant.
you have bad taste in games, go over to xbox then you wanker, leave the ps3 to those who like depth, detail, and more than repetitive/quickly boring bs.

how could anyone be disappointed in LBP, its crazy fun, entertaining, surpassingly creative, interactive, and more!

I've haven't had any problems with playing games online with the ps3, plus its free, so enjoy paying to play on the xbox

you are crazy if you get rid of your ps3, i pity you if you do

I marathon games, up to 18 hours in one go in extreme cases, then there are overkill sessions which are rare but go above the 24 hours mark

Eh don't. As much as the amazingly stupid fanboys pop up claiming how wonderful the 360 rocks with the EXACT same titles the ps3 or a pc has... face it. Its a very good system, I have one. It doesn't die every 3 months, and we are reaching a gaming market where the exclusive is now a dead joke. Even microsofts exclusive 360 games means a 6 month delay...

keep it, enjoy the blu ray and man, I been used to the PS3 controls well honestly since the ps1, it never changed, the Xbox controls have always been that goonie ass, lets see how much crap we can glue onto a joystick cause we forgot our players don't have three hands with eight fingers each set ups.

PS3 and a PC...no real need for a Xbox any more...unless you like trading them in every few months.
Had my PS3 since Xmas of it's release and not a single problem...

No, you wouldn't.

Umm Wow that guys need to do a google Search a PS3 is A Dual core prosessor and Xbox is a celaron both intel...

Hello...wake up Consoles are the mystery machines of the past they are just slightly moded pc hardware.

Not only that some people don't like playing on thier PC. I can sit in a chair at my desk looking at a 19 inch monitor or I can kick back and relax while playing on a 32 inch tv.

As for the OP well it is all about the games. If MS as more of the games you want go nuts. Don't worry about the RROD that is just a fanboy defense mechanism. I have had a 360 for years and never had it happen to me.

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Shhhh... Do you hear that? OH GOOD GOD NO! FANBOYS! Oh it's okay. The PC elitists ate them.

But in all seriousness, at the end of the day it's your decision and we can't make it for you.

 

[WINDOWCLEAN2]

Why do many people complain about the 'red ring of death' anyway? i got it once and sent it to microsoft to be fixed and, heypresto! never had anyproblems! and on the subject of games, if there is any game that is only on PS3 chances are there is an equivilent on 360 and if its on both there will probabley be a DLC for 360 but not for PS3 because microsoft are richer than sony!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I own a 360, and unless you got money and patience, keep the PS3.

The Xbox and all its equipment is poor quality.

 

[Shycte]

I have a Xbox 360 and I'm happy with it. If you should change depends on what you like.
