Hey, nerds.

Sorry to interrupt your War of Worldcraft arguments, but I asked my girlfriend to buy me a PS3 for my birthday. All I play are sports games and the occasional first or third person shooter. The PS3 is more expensive, but seems more durable. I've had my PS2 for about ten years, and still play it with no problem whatsoever. My Xbox, on the other hand, has had to be fixed a couple of times since I've had it... And I played Madden 09 for 360 and absolutely hated the controls. Had a difficult time hot routing, with audibles, changing players, and overall executing button management since I'm so immune to Sony, etc.

I suppose my question is which system should I buy? I know the 360 is cheaper, and has a wider selection of games, but I am playing sports games 90% of the time which I assume are all multi-platform, so if there is a shooter game or two that could keep me occupied in the meantime, I see no reason in asking for the 360 instead. I heard the new Socom games suck ass, but maybe they have fixed it with patches? I absolutely love the Socom games on PS2, and I can play the COD type games on my PC. So, Xbox nerds, why would the 360 be better for me, personally? And PS3 nerds, what shooter/action games are worth buying? Also, being forced to pay for online play is also a major bummer.

And don't get offended, I am a nerd, too. :)

First question: How have you managed to keep that name for so long?

Second question:.............Nope that's all I got


Get which ever system seems better to you

Right now I would say stick with the 360, it has a bigger online audience (to play with in sports games) and sounds like it would fit your needs more.

Well this topic wo't stay open long.

ps3

wHY?

its beter for the price atm.

Why do i say its better for the price?

Blu ray, free online, no wifi needed to buy.





Now: if you want halo:
get a 360.

That and get a PS3. It's a lot cheaper in the long-run.

You don't have to pay for Live, batteries, and Wi-Fi. Also, has a better library in my opinion, and no Red Ring of Death.

Buy a PS3 for the free online, more reliable hardware, and Blu-Ray. It has all your sport game needs and shooters to keep you occupied. I really can't think of one reason to get an XBOX360 over a PS3. Not one.

Since you are just way too cool, why don't you go and play football in real life?

thanks a lot, g-slice

now what shooter/action games are worth buying? have they fixed Socom: Confrontation?

as for my screen name, well, I had this rash when I signed up... eh, it's a long story

Since you are just way too cool, why don't you go and play football in real life? I personally think that the PS3 and the 360 are too advanced for you and that you would be better amused by something like a toaster.

I came in expecting a 'so cash' thread, but am pleasantly surprised

I'd personally go with a ps3
