theres a lot of factors to be taken into consideration.

 

honestly, right now 360 > ps3, but in a few months that may well change.

If you are still having fun playing on your current system, no reason to switch to current gen now. Just continue playing the games you got for both of those consoles, and later on when a game you like drops on the next gen system purchase it :) (keep saving money for the buy aswell)

I bought the 360 for gears of war about a month ago.. passed gears sold it to a buddy bought a ps3 no game out right now  really blows me away. To me resistance is not even close to gears..but I'm a sony fan.... The ps3 is just what I wanted... I'll probably use it to watch blue ray movies more then playing games for now.....

PS3 compared to a fully loaded xbox 360 is about the same price. Plus it looks sleek and doesn't have a huge power brick on the outside. You also get touch sensitive buttons and a trayless disc drive.

For the time being, the only drawback are games, but in the near future there will plenty.

In my opinion, get the PS3, fully loaded right out the box.

Hey, I have a quick question, the trayless disc drive sucks the game into the disc drive doesn't it? Doesn't that mean that it could scratch your game while being sucked into the console?

Anyone who says that the PS3 has no good games is crazy. It's actually the reverse. Yes, the 360 has more games, but only 4 of them are any good. Gears of War is NOT one of the good ones either. It's the most overrated, repetitive game I've ever played. I got bored with it after 2 days. Also, the 360 cannot be updated with software.

As a matter of fact, I bought a PS3 because I got so tired of the 360 having no good games. I have to say that I could not be any happier. The PS3 menu system is WAY better, easier, and faster to navigate. Plus, I love that you can copy and transfer game saves, pics, and movies with a SD card or a flash drive.

I'm enjoying RFOM, Motorstorm, and VF5 more than any 360 game I own. I think RFOM is one of the best and most addictive FPS out there. Looking at the release list for both systems, the PS3 clearly has the most variety and the better exclusives. I really hope that the PS3 wins because it is more user friendly, has all the extra features (Blu-Ray, SD card, flash drive, software updates, etc.), and is future proof. The only thing Sony needs to do is release a new controller and put the R2 and L2 shoulder buttons back the way they were.

The only reason I'm keeping my 360 is for Banjo Kazooie 3.

I HATE THESE THREADS. It's a game. If you can afford it and think you'll have fun, BUY IT. If not, worry about doing things in your life that will get you more money. Gesh!

If you just wanna play games on it then I would have to say its not worth it. Not yet.

But if you intend to use it as a BD player its well worth it.

its worth it in the long run; take the ps2 for example. sony has not cut the support of the ps2 out and it wont for a long time. you will get alot more bang for your buck with the ps3.
