Well , I really want a PS3 , but its just too expensive (600+ tax + HDMI = 700 dollars). Since the reason Im buying a next gen system is GTA IV , and its coming for both 360 and ps3 , the 360 seems affordable but it breaks a lot , and I really wanna play God of war 2 since i didnt have a ps2 (dont tell me to buy a ps2 , god of war 1 seems to be non existent by now) , WHAT SHALL I BUY??? I DONT WANNA SPEND 700 ON A NEW CONSOLE !!!!!!!

Let's see maybe you should actually wait until the end of the 2007 considering your just buying it for GTA IV and GTA IV isn't coming out until October a lot will have changed by then.

well look at it this way if you buy a 360 and later want hd dvd if its till around and you get the elite thats 480= elite plus tax probably 500, hd dvd player= 200 now your already at 700$ and you still dont have wireless for your 360 yet add the wifi that 800$+ total so in the end to get all that in one bundle blu ray, wifi, and the ps3 its really an easy pick if you only want one plus all the games you want like god of war 2

youre spending $100 on a HDMI cable? does that come with a hooker? $10-$15 for HDMI cables, dont spend more. if you dont want either, dont buy either, no one is forcing you, just wait till price drops, and christmas hype, and the games to come out after christmas, then get what you want, jebus.

An HDMI cable does not cost a lot dude, you can get one from the price of 10$-30$

Get both because now is your chance to get a $250 "like new" 360 at overstock.com. http://n4g.com/xbox360/News-46965.aspx. Get PS3 to because it has more potential than the 360. You should get the 360 now and game for a year and then sell it back for $200 by the end of the year for money to get a PS3.

I purchased a $2 HDMI cable from Amazon.com and it looks just as good as my buddies Monster HDMI cable. So no worries there. Also, it seems that you're not really interested in Halo or Gears of War since those weren't mentioned. Assassin's Creed and COD4 are both multiplat games so no problems there.

If you truly want a PS3 and not a 360 then I'd recommend waiting it out until October and see what takes place.

EDIT :: Also forgot to mention that Heavenly Sword seems to have gameplay similar to God of War and that's another PS3 exclusive that you'd definately enjoy if you like the God of War games.

Dude, that is a website called overstockdealz.com not overstock.com. Big difference... Thats like shopping at a website called Amazonia.com instead of Amazon.com.

If you enjoy Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid a PS3 is a must-buy.

Plus there's some other pretty amazing games coming out soon, and it has Bluray :]

If you are more into shooters, get a 360

Do what you gotta do. But you can get the console for $600 shipped from Amazon no tax unless your in WA or NV. And the hdmi cable for $10 shipped from Monoprice.com (hdmi is digital there is no ghosting with a digital connection). Bam got a new system with cable for $610. If you want cheaper you gotta get a used one off ebay.

i say it depends on ur taste. PS3 has more features but 360 is cheaper. 360 mostly has shooting, racing and sports games but if u want more choices than shooters and sports or racing than get a PS3.

360 does have more shooters, but the PS3 is getting it's fair share of shooters as well. Sports are all around so its more shooter and racers on the 360.

First of all you can buy a new 60gb on ebay for $550, second how would hdmi cord cost $100.00 you can get a very good one for $30.00, and the 360 doesn't just break a lot 99.9% of them have problems. I had a 360 and I could name 8 differnt things I hated about it, I wont go into them now. Anyways I owned a 360 first but ever since I got my PS3 I haven't played my 360 once so I sold it. BTW the PS3 has much more games to look forward to. I played warhawk and it is my new favorite game its is soooooo adicting, plus socom, heavenly sword, uncharted, lair? GTA although one of my favorite series is the least of the games I am looking foward to.
