If you have both the PS3 and the 360, how do you decide to buy it for either the 360 or PS3?

By the definitive version, or if the differences aren't too big, whichever I feel like.

Usually, my multiplats are either bought on 360 or PC.

Buy the better version, assuming the differences are big enough. If i don't think the differences are big enough then PS3 for trophies.

If it has more content in it. Then get that vision.

Like Dead Space 2, it's going to have Extraction in the PS3 version.

It's pretty simple.

If it came out on both platforms, I buy the PS3 version.

Usually I will buy them on PS3, unless there is a huge difference on the 360, then I will nab it on the 360 :) Also, depending on what system my friends' have the game on, plays a big part on my purchase (if it's a MP game). But I generally prefer trophies over Achievement points 8D

According to that 60% of the multiplats testest (mostly major ones) are better on 360 and 30% are equal, 10% being better on PS3. But I thought 99.99% of all multiplats looked significantly better on 360 :roll:

Games that are clearly better on XBOX like Bayonetta or Ghostbusters I get for that console. Anything thats the same I get for PS3 bc the online is free. That simple.

all my multiplatforms are for the Xbox 360, I have a PS3 and Wii for exclusives, I prefer the Xbox 360 version becaue my friends all have Xbox 360's, so I can play multiplayer with all of them too, or I can play any other game while I party chat with them cross game, and I do all my achievement whoring on the Xbox 360 so it all works out nicely in hindsight I'm glad I buy multiplatform games on the Xbox 360, Microsoft's stated that the next Xbox will be able to play Xbox 360 games while it's up in the air if Sony will have Cell processors in the next PlayStation to cut down on costs, with the possibility that PS3 games might not play on the next system, and there's still a chance it'll have a Cell but not an extra Cell chipset for playing PS3 games, which I hope isn't the case

By forum comments and reviews to figure out which version is better. If the differences are negligable I'll go with the 360, as I have more friends with one and I much prefer its controller. So far the only multiplats I own on the PS3 are Final Fantasy XIII, Burnout Paradise, and Dragon Age, which kind of shows the quality of most PS3 titles/ports.

in hindsight I'm glad I buy multiplatform games on the Xbox 360, Microsoft's stated that the next Xbox will be able to play Xbox 360 games while it's up in the air if Sony will have Cell processors in the next PlayStation to cut down on costs, with the possibility that PS3 games might not play on the next system, and there's still a chance it'll have a Cell but not an extra Cell chipset for playing PS3 games, which I hope isn't the caselamprey263
An excellent point, as if the PS4 doesn't have a cell processor (which is likely) there's no way in hell it'll be backwards compatible. I mean, Sony can't even code a working software emulator for the PS2 and that hardware was a lot simpler - there's no chance they can code an efficient emulator of the cell.

I get PC versions if they are on PC, otherwise I'm stuck with the Ps3 version. However deadspace 2 may change that.

If it is better on one or the other then I will pick the better version of the game.

Other then that, 360 I like better for online games and I like achievements better then trophies. PS3 I like better for fighters because of the DPad.

I keep franchises to the same console brand (Assassins Creed, Bioshock on Xbox, Bad Company, Resident Evil on PS). Anything else goes to PS3 unless the port is crap.

Unless the PS3 version is better or has extra content I will buy the game for the 360. I started to switch to where I was buying everything for the PS3, but now I'm back to everything for the 360.
