I dont see whats so bad about the lists I only have $407 to blow here. If I get U2 I cant get another popular game like Killzone 2, I'll need an extra $25 which I dont haveShatin
It really comes down to which of your friends own what. That was my main problem with my PS3. I found the PS3 to be my kind of system, but none of my friends owned it. I just went back to 360 so I could play Halo 3 and Borderlands with my friends.

Why would you get left4dead 2 and a wireless adaptor if you're getting an arcade? You won't be able to play online.

You need a harddrive to play online, the arcade doesn't have one.

first, try to stay away from the fanboy propaganda...

Having said that, if you own a HDTV and dont currently have a blue ray player, go for the PS3. Not only will you be blessed with the High def, youll get all the great multiplats, plus some good exclusives(uncharted 2 , im looking at you) and the free online (although its looking more like that "free" online could be changing in the near future). If you dont have an hdtv or already have the bluray covered, then I say go with the 360. Better online (get what you PAY for) the better developed multiplats, a much more ergonomic controller (IMHO). Basically the all around better gaming machine. And if you get the 360, save yourself some money and get a linksys game adapter and save yourself 50-60 bucks

I own all 3 consoles an d play my 360 the most followed by the ps3 and lastly the wii.

I'm pretty sure you can't play online on the 360 Arcade, so you don't need that wireless adaptor. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

bretthorror

all 360s can go online as long as you got a memory card or memory embedded in the console ,

and a ethernet port or wifi adapter ,

as well as 50 membershipfor online so ya your best bet-ps3

Upgrade to play pc games like what? I'm sorry but there is nothing worthwhile recent in PC gaming except for DA:O that has come out recently. It's really sad that the only games that I really looking forward to playing on the PC is SC2 and Diablo III.

not true console ports are the main reason why i am playing now on PC. Resi5 @120Hertz is more worth than any exclusive.

I'd say get the PS3, but dont buy mirrors edge or uncharted 1. Those two games are games you'll finish in a rental then never play again. I would say for the other two get KZ2, Demons Souls or Infamous. (I've heard a lot of people say Infamous isnt worth a purchase, but i bought it on release date and still play it today)

This is why I went to PS3 and you should stick with PS3. It's reliable with free online and WiFi. God of War 3 is coming, get a PS3.

I thought you meant $407.09 for some " blow " ( as in the drug ) until I read the topic again.

I was over here scratching my head like "wtf?"

Is Wifi important to you? Although, like other people said you don't need an "official" MS wifi adapter. Wasn't there a list that shows supported 3rd party adapters/bridges?

Yes, there are. My friend had one for his 360 (Which was $30), and it always disconnected him. He eventually ended up buying the official one.

geez i hate people going, "WiFi is weak on online games". first off, i use wifi for my ps3 and i'm playing the Bad Company 2 beta while my parents are watching Videos on Demand on the TV but my game doesn't lag at all. even with only 1.5 Mbps you can have lagless wifi games. geez. mine's actually around 3 Mbps (it's almost 3 years now, 'cause of contract), but i sitll don't get any lags. and to those saying 360's N-adapter is better than the PS3's wifi (which is only b/g), are just ridiculous. a G-connection is fine. it's not like you'll spawn faster if you have an N lmao. N is only suitable if your router is REALLY far from your console, like more than 30 meters or 120 feet or so.

Why are you buying another Xbox 360 if your other one just RROD? This is why Microsoft is winning in sales. I say get a PS3. It will be a brand new experience. There are lots of great games coming out soon. It really would suck to have to move on to the next generation without playing LBP, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1 & 2, GT5, GOW3, and much more. I think it would be a waste to buy another Xbox 360 just to play the same games youve been playing all this time and the weak exclusive lineup of 2010. And the fact that youre getting an Arcade shows how unsure you are about this purchase. Then youre going to buy the wifi adapter which already comes with the PS3. And on top of that youre going to probably pay for LIVE, another bite out of your wallet. Come on over. Cows are very welcoming.

Go Red. If you Green, take out the wireless adapter, instead, get yourself a long ethernet cable to attach to your router (can be gotten for cheap at monoprice.com). Use the saved money for an additional 360 title of your choice. You'd save anywhere from 75-95$.

Why would you buy a wireless adaptor if you are going to do nothing but play SP? Also who plays on-line games via wireless? You must be desperate or something?

pretty much. I musta not made it clear but I'm trying to get into online as I have never tried it in my life ever. Obviously if I had online I was going to play L4D2, which is why it was on my list...

I'd go with the PS3. If you're going to buy a 360, though, you may as well just spend $100 more and just get an Elite instead of the Arcade.

then why would you ever buy an arcade? you will want an HDD. I promise Also, get rid of the wireless adaptor. You can buy a wireless bridge if you really need... but you should hard-wire your systems for online play.

I was making a joke since PS3 people always add the cost of the wireless adaptor. I have my PS3 and 360 connected directly to my router.
