Ok, i have a 360 and completely love it, and my friend wants to get a PS3, so i'm trying to get him to buy a 360 instead of a PS3. Can u guys give reasons why you should get Xbox over PS3?

If hes got a PS3 you boys can switch to play the exclusives, resulting in the best of both worlds...

Don't try and change his mind. Its his own decision and he can purchase whatever he wants. Maybe he wants ps3 exclusives instead of 360? Both consoles are good so why be one sided? [spoiler] Although I have had both and I very highly recommend the PS3 [/spoiler]

my advice is to not bother, if he ends up not liking it then it will be your fault and you will never hear the end of it.

if i could only own one system it would be the 360but getting involved is a huge mistake and very likely to blow up in your face.

The 360 is better for multiplayer games. That would be my main reason for choosing it over the PS3, but the PS3 has stronger single-player games.

im pretty sure you can actually go online with the PS3 in Greece,where there is still no XBL from what i heard which is pretty appalling.But dont influence what he' buying thats just douchey and juvenille imo.

Even if I was buying something for someone, I'd still let them choose. It would be something of a dick move to say, "I'll buy you a console, but it has to be a 360."

The reason why i don't want him to get a PS3 is that i can't connect to him on PSN (obviously). See, when you are just finishing a yr in high school, pretty much everything gets switched around, so i want to stay pretty connected. I'm not the calling someone to talk kinda person, and i thing texting is overrated and stupid, so basically the only way id stay connected would be thru Live. I'm not trying to not let him make his own descisions either, we are capable of making good descisions, and learning from bad ones.

SO DON'T JUDGE ME!!:D

You know, you can use Windows Live Messenger for chat or Yahoo Messenger or even, Steam and you don't need to buy a game for use it.

if you want him to buy axbox360 for fanboy reason then your wierd,

but if you want him to buy axbox360 so you two can play together online, then its kinda understandable.

But if he still wants a ps3 , then you can still go at his house and you two can play local

I have read so many "this is juvenile"s and "don't be controlling"s and also "your a fool"s, so seriously, if your not gonna make a point, and just get on this to tell me how stupid andjuvenile and controllingI am, don't post here, i really don't want to hear it. No offense to the ppl who posted things like that, but its just as*inine.

Just let him choose what he wants to buy both systems are great so you can't regret buying either of them.

OK, this is the internet, so dont take it so personal. And hardly anyone has been trying to judge you. All we are saying is to get the best of both worlds and to let him get a system he wants so that he is happy of the purchase that gets. And you can join facebook and other things for social networking. If anything, this is the most tame thread that I have ever seen at SW. Almost everyone (lems and cows) agree that you should let him get a PS3.

No. The highlighted games should be played by newcomers and who cares about graphics. Gameplay is what matters and thats why the four recieved 2 9.0s, an 9.5, and a 10 :)

Its obvious you havent played UC2. And KZ2 got attention not only for graphics, but also because of the amazing physics it has.
