What should I get? PS3 or HDTV?

Hey, guys. I've finally saved up enough money to either get a new TV (HD) or a PS3. I do not know which one to get.

I'm considering getting a new HDTV, because I have an old tube TV. I always thought that without the HDTV, the PS3 experience would be dull. So, can you guys help me figure out which to get.

(PS. I have a 360, AND I think that would be good for an HDTV too. Please help.)

there is no need for an hdtv without a bluray player they are made for each other:P so i would get the ps3 first than the hdtv:D

Get the HDTV and use it with the 360.  Your games will be in HD and if you use HDMI or VGA with the 360, it'll up convert your DVD's.  They won't be in HD, but will look better.  As a owner of both a 360 and a PS3, you're not really missing much by waiting on the PS3 unless you are a die hard MGS fan.  You'll get much more use out of the HDTV at this point.  In the future when you do get a PS3, most of the games and features that have been hyped forever (Home, Killzone 2, etc.) will finally be out for purchase/use.  

Buy a HDTV with the money you saved then sell your 360 and buy a PS3 :Pbuzzn77d

agree!

agree!

i highly disagree.

if you play your three-sixty why the hell sell it? save up money for the ps3.

I'd say the PS3 first.  There are plenty of exclusive games there to keep you occupied enough.  What you get in an HDTV is basically a larger screen, clearer and brighter picture but still watching the same stuff and playing the same games you already have on ur Xbox 360 which you can already easily do on your normal TV minus the HD. 

So in brief do you want to play something new with new games or play the same old thing with sharper pictures?

It's a no-brainer in my honest opinion.

Buy a HDTV, then play your 360 until you save up enough again for a ps3.POPEYE1716

That's something that I'll probably do. I really do want the PS3, because, the graphics, some of the games, (e.g. Mirror's Edge(Graphics) and yes, MSG4.)

Thanks guys.

That's a tough one. The best time to buy a tv would be in Feb. as most stores have great sales to get rid of older models of tvs to make room for the new ones. So if you can hold off until then for the tv buy the PS3 and enjoy.

So you only have like what?  Four Hundred Dolllars saved up?  Easy .. PS3 .. can't get any good HDTV's for that ..

well considering the price of the two is different

if you have 500ish saved up I would buy the ps3

and then save your money for a nice TV

or keep the 500 and keep saving for a nice TV.

To me playing games on SDTV is a waste especially with this generation.

 but then again I have had HDTV for a while so I am highly spoiled by it, and can't see myself going back.

 Maybe if you don't know what you are missing you can't miss it ha.

Anyway.. ya...

dude buy a HDTV and sell that BoxNocturnal_Speed

If you have a decent monitor, say 22" I would get a PS3 and hook it up to that and get an HDTV later. Hooking it up to a monitor will give you HD if you have one with 1680x1050 or more.

I was in the same situation some time ago. I decided to buy PS3 first and played on my old tube TV for almost 8 months. If I were to chose again, I would had got HDTV first and save your money for PS3 at later date.

It's totally up to you, but once you play the games on HD, it's hard to go back, some games also use more vibrant colours in their text, in example (Folklore), and it's very hard to see them on older Tv's.

Go to best Buy and smack talk them. I was able to get them to throw in a 40GB PS3 with my Sony XBR5 46"

-= PS3 First =-

Then save up money and get a GOOD HDTV

They will probably be cheaper and better when you buy it ;)

Buy the PS3, steal a HDTV.Floppy_Jim

LOL!
