yes, 360 got a lot more games than ps3 but take into consideration that 360 has been out longer than ps3, wheres its only been out for a year. the favorite games that you mentioned are multiplatform. 2008 imo is ps3 year with crazy exclusives coming out naming GT5, MGS4, FF13 just to name a few. i noticed that the 360 favored FPS quite a lot and shooters with little variety on exclusives from diff genre. its a matter of own preference really. i own both systems and i love them both. being a fanboy for a specific one sided system is the most immature thing ive ever heard. each systems has its ups and downs and offer diff stuff. ps3 is a multimedia/entertainment hub with great games. 360 is highly supported but both offer same quality of diff games. i can tell u right now though that when MGS4 comes out... ps3 is going to dominate on that time frame. all the MGS that were released in the past made fans insanely crazy about the game.

1)Yeah, all those games you mentioned are all multi-plat so there would be no point in switching.

2) As for you wanting us to tell you what would make you want to switch from an xbox to a ps3, I have no idea. You tell us? It sounds to me like your set with your 360, you like the game selection for it, and all the games that you mentioned for the ps3 are also out for the 360. So, I don't really understand why you want to switch from your 360?

every one forgets about white knight. right also if you got a hdtv then the blu-ray is worth the money from the start and this guy listed most of the exclusives and like you mentioned there are great muliplats you can still play but this time with free online.

i did the same thing i dont regret it the ps3 graphics are godlike compared to the 360

I'd say 25% chance that EA farms out ME1 to one of their internal studios for a "Mass Effect Special edition"/ ps3 port. 100% chance that any sequels are multiplatform.

any way just check the games we gave u and check out playstation 3 home ... blu ray quality....free online ....free demos and trailers....and soon play station network will be the same as live sony are working on it now and it will come by the end of the year ( in game music + masseges and those stuff ) we got rumble now + motion sence just like the wii controller and if you are asking your self my friend : why should i buy ps3 ?

answer : god of war 3 on ps3 thats one big reason for me ...and yes if this game was exlusivly on 360 i would buy 360 just for this game it rocks babe ;)

EA owns bio-ware all microsoft did is publish it, it doesn't own the rights to it as is the case with Gears of War, so from an EA business stand point multi-platform equals more money, don't be a fan boy about it be logical..... money is always going to be the primary reinforcer in these kinds of situations

The chances are big I expect the orignal or the sequel to come now that the game is owned by EA and EA loves money so making it multiplat would be up their alley. And as for the PS3 HOME is also coming out and PSN is free and always getting better plus the AAA titles are coming out this year so you should get one soon.

I'd try to find a 60gb if you can but if you don't need wifi then the 20gb is fine, but you may want to upgrade your hdd. you will probably want to get an hdmi cable or component depending on your tv and if you have an hdmi cable bc any hdmi cable will work. I suggest you pick up warhawk w/ bluetooth headset bc warhawk is a blast online. Try Uncharted, Resistance, Motorstorm, and Ratchet & Clank as well if you get a chance.

20 gig? it doesn't have wireless or the stylish silver trim. i dont know what the 20gig (40gig is 400 usd )goes for but i think youll need to put you're own money into it after you sell all that stuff it sucks but you get what you pay for. and you need to buy HD cables they are like 20 usd

nyyankeesjg25

i was in your same situation dude, but i finally made it to the PS3 side ( still have to get it, and i dont own a 360 , since i sold it ).

Some points ( PERSONAL OPINION )made me switch

1.- LIVE .- it costs 50 bucks per year, and yeah its cheap,has some cool features, friend invites etc. but at least for me, i didnt played that much for live , so i was paying for something that i used few times. And with PSN i will not pay, so i will not worry for my spent $, and we all know that PSN lacks some LIVE features such as friend invite, in game invite all that... i really dont care

2.- for the 2008, the 360 only has 2 TOTALLY exclusive games i want ( fable 2 and NG2 THEY ARE NOT ON PC ) while the PS3 has MGS4, LBP, HAZE, KZ2, Resistance 2, Infamous, GT5, The Agency, MotorStorm 2 ( maybe 2008 release), WK Chronicles. And by 2009 360..... i dunno wich game will come out on it... while the PS3 ( FF XIII, FF VXIII, GOW3 more than enough to satisfy my purchase )

3.- Standard HDD, whereas the 360 doesnt.

4.- Reliability ( NO RRoD )

5.- had some other , but i forgot :o

Nothing... why would you need to switch? The trade-in value for your 360 and games will be pathetic. Save until you can have both and then you don't need to worry. Don't "switch sides", become neutral.

bioware did make mass effect and they are owned by ea.... nice try at being a smart a$$ though

btw microsoft NEVER owned bioware
and mass effect was orignally going to a ps3 game untill MS paid bioware to make it for the 360 so im betting they still have the ps3 code left over somewhere

But MS still retains all publishing rights to the entire Mass Effect franchise soooooo.....

Haze if it ever comes out, PS Home, Little Big Planet. I chose a PS3 over a 360 for 3 things. Blu Ray for 50 bucks more than a 360 Premium, No Red Lights of Death, and Free online. Although i must admit online not a whole lot of people talk. (connection is excelent, probablly more so than Xbox live) but not a ton of people talk on there yet. Which may be a good thing so you dont hear a ton of 10 year olds try and trash talk you while u pwn them.

Haven't read any posts but I'm gonna say what I like most about PS3, this is from a die hard Halo fan.

  • Free online
  • Highly customizeable with remote play, folding, and much more features
  • blu ray
  • sony exclusives

Yah man. Microsoft just screwed me over with my halo 3 disc. The case cracked the game disk and then I sent it to then and they lost it. They hung up on my twice and I just got off the phone with them again and the superviser just told me straight up I will not be getting a new one.

So I am thinking of ditching my 360 with the many problems behind. Following the horriable live support for Canada. We get everything last or don;t get it. Our last movie was the invasion and that was before christmas. Theres to many stupid ads that slow it down ontop of the update to get the predators on the look out for the little kids because you can post your life and it says your name town and country. Microsoft lose $1 BILLION! on the 360. I am not impressed with there quality or service. Blu-ray is nice and HD-DVD is toast. I just sold mine. But as far as I care it will be worth it and with sony fixing and adding a new gaming experience it wil be worth it. With the ps3 you get it all in one simple package. sure people bash it but they did a real good job with it and wish the other did the same.....

like a few others have already said, if u can try and have both systems. both systems have good games and have their advantages. anyone that says one system is just so much better than the other is just a blind fanboy. i have both systems and im glad because i can have the best games from both.
