WEll, Ive had a ps3 for a year now. I have one game (resistence), and 2 blue ray movies. I guess I bought it as a comfort zone type of thing. I have all the ps1 and ps2 classics and wanted all their new sequels on the same system.

I'm starting to get real fed up with waiting for the good games though. My folks barely ever let me hook it up to our high def too (and i can't argue cause i dont pay rent...Im 22). blue ray movies are pretty pointless at the time. My dad however, wants me to keep it for the bd player, for some reason? So Also akk the games that are multiplatform that i want are tending to come out for 360 first. My cousin wants to buy my ps3, 2 controllers, one game, and 2 bd movies off me for 400 dollars and hell throw in his ps2 so i can play my ps2 games still. Should i get an 360? I know this is a ps3 forum but id still appreciate your opinions !!! if so...what would be a good modeslty priced model to buy? Another factor in this has been that all my friends have one (its good to trade games). Also, what do you guys think the future state of the console is? This is also a factor for me! I apologize for the long thread, but would appreciate advice from fellow gamers.

what games are you waiting for anyways, there's a bunch of good games out already.

besides if you do get a 360, are you willing to pay the annual fee to play online?

well if you plan on getting a 360 you'll have fun with it now but not in the long run....yeah they have the games now but later on you'll pretty much have nothing, so if you plan on playing those "now" games you would end up pretty dissapointed when sony releases its top guns soon. Your choice.

i wouldn't because you'd probably end up buying it again. besides there are plenty of games to play right now. in my opinion games that are multi-platform like assassin's creed and call of duty 4 have a better experience on the ps3. don't forget about unreal tournament 3. i love the game and play it all the time. so i wouldn't know why you are playing more games on your ps3.

How can you complain of no games if you just have one?

you, sir, are a moron and you should sell your PS3, you are not worthy.

It would be the BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE. 08 is filled to the brim with ps3 goodness, MGS4, HAZE, KILLZONE, HOME, LITTLE BIG PLANET, just to name a few. In another year you will be wanting it back... and you probably wouldn't get it.

No offense, but at this point in the game, those kind of statements are outdated and laughable.

Why: Because if the other console has games, so does the oposing console.

dont want to discourage you man but i just bought a 360 and ive had my ps3 for awhile now, but i am considering selling my 360 i got a good deal on it from a friend and it just isnt doing anything for me. just feels clunkky and junky compared to the ps3. the ps3 has a crisper picture you have blu ray there are aweosme games out right now for it and more coming out in the future and well gears or war and bioshock are also out for the pc so if you have a pc that can run those games you can play it on the pc. the 360 just doesnt feel like a complete system. i mean if you dont get the elite you dont get and HDMI output on your 360 and you have to pay and extra 100 bucks to get the wireless capability for the 360 and then you have to pay for live which i like PSN more than live. and honestly in the long run it is well worth keeping the ps3 HDTV or not. but thats just me. i think the 360 is just clunky and not that well put together and rushed.

I suggest get more games and then make your decision cuz you're obviously missing out on some great titles since you only have resistance. I liked resistance but the current releases are better. And never trust gamestop/EB for release dates, you should always wait on the developer to make the formal announcement.

Well... you only have 1 game...you need to play heavenly sword, uncharted, R&C, warhawk, cod4 etc. I got bored of resistance after like 2 months I bought it.

You're 22, save up some money and buy your own HDTV.

But, if I was in your situation, I'd buy a 360. If all your friends have it, then get it!

It really is entirely up to you. People are correct in saying that there are some really amazing games coming to the PS3 this year. Some that I can think of are MGS 4, Killzone 2, FF XIII, Unreal Tournament, GT 5 and Little Big Planet (looks incredible). There are also games out now that are winners for the system, such as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Resistance, Warhawk, and some of the multiplatform games that have come out. The graphics are superb on the PS3, and the games will only look better as time goes on. It most certainly is the most powerful system on the market to date. The only thing that confuses me is how you were able to plop down that kind of money on a game system if you are only working temp jobs. In defense of the 360 (one of the systems that I own), the games for this system are good NOW. You don't need to wait for a lot of the heavy hitters, because they are already out, or are coming out within the NEAR future (unlike many of the games for the PS3) Sure, you have to pay for 360's online service, but it isn't really all that expensive and with a much higher user base, online gaming is going to seem much more fun than on the PS3. I currently am rocking the 360, Wii (yes, its worth it), PSP, DS, and PS2. (I have a Sega Saturn, but want to ditch it) Except for the Wii (and the PS2, like 7 years ago), I purchased all of these systems refurbished from Gamestop. I saved boatloads of cash doing it this way. I decided not to get the PS3, because the price is just astronomical for a single videogame console. My 360 actually cost me under $300 (including the hard drive). My Wii was more than I wished to spend, because I could not get my hands on a refurb, so I had to stand in line at Toys R Us, but still it was under $400. My PSP (my newest system) cost me about $100, and then a $60 4 GB mem stick. I could keep going on, but I will spare you. All the while, I was trading stuff in, to bring prices even lower. The problem with the PS3, is that it is still overly expensive. So trading in a lot of stuff may bring it down significantly, but its still going to take a lot of stuff to save a lot of money. In your case, you already have one, so that fact does not matter. As for me, I just opted to get a few systems, as opposed to blowing a lot of money on ONE system.

Your parents rarely let you hook it up to your tv yet you want a differentconsole to rarely hook up? Flawed logic? You own 1 game and say you are tired of waiting when there are clearly plenty of games out. If none of the exclusives interest you and if none of the multiplats do than maybe you should stop gaming bro.

He obviously doesn't play games... He owns 1 within a year. He's either lying or he just doesn't like gaming in general.

I seriously hope you don't actually believe that release date.

Anyway, if you only have 1 game, you're either lying or you've done something wrong because there are a lot of great games.

I like my ps3 but i have to say that i get more use out of my 360.There are a lot of good games out for it right now and its hard to keep up with them all.As for people telling u that cod 4 runs better on the ps3 there full of bull.Call of duty 4 is in my opinion way better on the 360 because of live.Xbox live is just simply way better than the ps3s online setup.Also there are good games coming out for the 360 in 08 as well.Honestly though ive never seen the need in selling one system to get another because it always comes back to bite u in the end.While the 360 has a great online setup and a ton of games there could be some great game that comes out for the ps3 down the road that u will wanna play.My advice is just save up your money and buy a 360 and keep your ps3 because sooner or later youll want it back for what ever reason.

if u wanna play now and none of the current ps3 games intrest you (which is just mind boggling that someone could say that) then get a 360 but dont sell your ps3 trust me u will need it..... I have ps3 and 360 but i tend to favor the ps3 more just cuz it can do more and more games are gonna come out soon. my 360 is there just so i can play geow and halo lol and forza 2 lol but yeag stick with it espesually if u have the 60 gig that is the best one... and for gods sake just try uncharted or COD4 u will like them or assasins creed that game is also awsome...
