I already have a 360. I have Both Gears of Wars, Both GRAWs, GTAIV, Forza, Lost Odyssey and i just got Ninja Gaiden II. So far from what i've seen on Xbox exclusives.. It just isnt enough to be a clear winner here. The only good Exclusives that did not flop are Gears, Halo, and Mass Effect. To be honest, Halo series is just being milked now for anything its worth. After seeing MGS, then GT, then Resist 2, then Killzone 2.. and now God of War... I NEED one. I dont know if i should trade in my 360 for a PS3 or shell out the cash for a new one. I dont know what to do. Times are hard in the recession =/ Will the price on the console get a $100 drop anytime soon?

Save your money and buy the PS3. Don't get rid of the 360 unless you just can't stand it anymore.

I dunno, but my best bet is that it will drop in April or May, but only by $50. You gotta look for those deals, man!

Sony can't afford to drop the price too much. I know it sucks, but that's business.

Look for the best deals, or go to a pawn shop/eBay. That's really all the advice I can give, since the price won't be dropping by more than $50 aaaaaany time soon.

Psh! If you want to watch videos, use a computer, since they can all do it better than Any. Console. Ever. Besides, there are plenty of sites where you can download and watch anime and movies for free, making any marketplace related video download a waste of money (unless, of course, it's already free).

i was in the same boat you were a couple of months ago. IMO, i believe the 360's lifespan has passed it's golden years. the PS3 is a teenager on it's way to Prom Night. I turned in my 360 to Hasting's and picked up the PS3 and haven't looked back since! i love the quality games, like the ones you've mentioned, and look forward to the many more years of excellent gaming (not to mention the blu-ray capability) from my PS3.

well as long as your 360 works well "no constant RROD ect" I would recommend just holding onto it and waiting till a price drop or for a store to have a deal on them. walmart has often had deals were if u buy a ps3 they give you a 100$ or 50$ gift card wich can be used on anything in the store. But then again life is short and if you are always waiting for the best deal or the best time to buy you could end up missing out on some great times. my advice is if you REALY must have one to the point you get exited thinking about it and you have the extra cash then go for it ASAP. there are some great games on the ps3. killzone2,LBP,MGS4,Valakria Chronicals,GT5p, uncharted ect. And with GoW3 and uncharted 2 already anounced ...plus blueray movies wich are great,much better than upscaled dvds by a long way ;).

If your tired of the 360 then go ahead. The PS3 games and quality will keep any gamker busy. Upcoming titles will be awesome too such as MAG and God of war 3 and dont forget to pick up Killzone 2.

It's a big YAY! even without a price drop! and there areother notableexclusives than what you've mentioned, such as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Valkyria Chronicles, Motorstorm II: Pacific Rift, etc... its also a Bluray player... free online... more exclusives coming like FFXIII:Versus, Uncharted 2, God of War III, Infamous, White Knight Chronicles, etc...

The ps3 is awesome. All the analyst predict a price drop in april so save up and buy one. Dont get rid of your 360. I know as of right now, not that many good exclusives coming out for it but they will. Its just something you will want again if you get rid of it.

The PS3 and 360 are both great consoles. Save your money so you can have DOUBLE the awesomeness, or you might regret it.

if you have a 360 and enjoy it id say just wait. get a ps3 at the end of its life cycle on the cheap or maybe a little sooner with a bundle. then you can enjoy all the great exclusives the console had to offer without making any sacrafices or having to spend a lot of money.

Not really the 3rd one I smashed because I got really Angry.. the first one just melted (which is a pity as I was looking forward to play Gears of war), and the second one just went BOOM! (actually like a small 'pop' sound came) so I've learnt to avoid Microsoft like plague (even though I cant avoid plague)

makes it even more desirable (I think I spelt it wrong) Sorry for bumping.. P.S - BTW dont bring up the number of units [Xbox 360] sold, as about 1/2 of them are resales (because Unlike Microsofts "ASSumptions people [like me] really want to enjoy something, they will buy it again (only to blow up again)

Yeah, they are losing money for every PS3 sold.... Anyway, my 360 is gonna break( only been 3 months, and I had the rrod come up and go), so after I get a replacement, I'm gonna sell it fast and hopefully get a PS3 for summer. If you like your 360, keep it. Otherwise you may regret it later on. BTW, I didn't like mine that's why i aint keeping it ;)

It'll get a price drop before the end of May, most likely. I'd advise waiting until then.

Definitely buy one when you have the money.

I don't suggest selling your Xbox360 since it's a great console that will still receive good games.

If you really want PS3, save up and go for it. All the games you mention are fantastic and you money will be well spent. ;)
