Hello all, new member here :) I have been a Playstation 3 user since day one and I have always fully backed and supported the Playstation movement. I never played or even touched an Xbox360 because I always felt the PS3 was my flagship so why downgrade? But just recently I have been fancying the Xbox360 black console :D I am being converted by Mr Gates. I think it's because with the upcoming release of the new COD I have been told by many friends that the PS3 is the least suitable console for quick reaction and quality gameplay whilst playing online on COD (something I have always noticed when owning every version) I am starting to look at the Xbox360 controller and seeing it in a different way, it looks more sturdy and comfortable to play with and I am eager to know why my friends say it's better for speed at COD online. So for those Xbox360 owners, this might sound n00bish to ask but can anyone explain to me the real cool factors of the Xbox360 because I am really tempted to buy the console in a bundle offer with Dead Island at my local GAME store. Thanks :)

In no way is any console worth a full purchase for the sake of one game. In any situation.

I don't know how much more superior the 360 version is. It's okay I guess. Just for COD? Don't do it.

360 - I don't think it's worth it.

PS3 - I've never owned one.

Anyway you should research them yourself, it's your money after all.

P.S Dead Island isn't that great imo.

The analogs on the Dualshock are actually more precise than the 360 controller. And buying a new console just to play the same game but with different controller is silly

Remember, "cool" isn't beating the games, it's showing everyone online you did. XBLA is something really radical. The forgotten exclusives like Alan Wake along with obvious stuff like Halo and Forza are gnarly. You can play with your 360-owning friends online for a small *cough* fee each year which is totally tubular.

I say go for it. Dump that PS3 in a river and start something new.

I love XBL over PSN.

The 360 controller is way better and your hand wont feel like its going to snap off after 20 minutes of play.

If you are into shooters your switch will be worth it.

Last, I would buy a console just for one game. I even did one better and built a $1400 PC just to play ARMA 2 and dont care if another game ever gets loaded on to it. Its your cash, use it when you want.

I came into this expecting to say "not SW related". :P

But seriously, TC; SW is the worst place to get advice on whether to buy a new console or not. Do your own research, don't let biased fanboys do it for you.

TC wants to know what makes the 360 so fly, far out and dynamite. I think my outdated slang did the job.

I am kind of in the same position as you, I've been a nintendo owner all my life, my brother owned a PS2 but i rarely played it, but now as the wii is slowly dying I have recently had the itch to fork over some money for a PS3, especially since I've always wanted to play the sly cooper and R&C games, so I'm debating whether I should wait it out for wii u or get a PS3 what do you guys think?

Nope, it's just "false" for you. If my favorite game was only on a particular console, I'd by the console. That's me. And that's not "false" for me. Not everyone has your budget. Not everyone has mine.

Buying a new console just to play a game that you can already play on your current console is just silly. If you want the 360 for some of it's exclusives then by all means get one but otherwise you're wasting your money. As for the controller i find the PS3 one to be more precise than the 360 one, and i prefer using the top shoulder key to fire rather than a trigger.

Think about everything ELSE he said, he said your hand feels like its going to snap off after 20 minutes of play, which isnt even close to true. And then he just went and said you need a $1400 to play ARMA 2, and i KNOW that that is clearly wrong. Sure, the point about favorite games isnt true OR false, but everything else is.

Thanks :)

My friend has a ps3, i have an x360. The ps3 is a more silent system, and it supports blue ray. Games that are multiplats are exactly the same. so i can't see how you can call it a downgrade going to the x360. You're right about the controller, the ps3 controller is not good in my opinion. The analog sticks aren't as precise as the x360's. The d-pad is better but you can buy a silver controller for the x360 with enchanced d-pad (if you really need a good d-pad like i do for mortal kombat) The x360 is cheaper in price I have my x360 4,5 years and i never had a problem with it, i know a lot of people had one with it but i put my console always in a well ventilated space. The ones that did have problems get a new one from microsoft if they have problems with it if they do in the 3 year warranty window. Playing online costs money (about 50$ a year) but the service is top notch , it has never gone down on me and it takes my full bandwith when downloading something. Updates with a x360 never take more than one minute and as i have seen with my friend, with ps3 this takes ages. X360 has cross- over voice chat. This means you can easily chat with your friends even when you play different games. The ps3 has it's exclusives and so has the x360. Both consoles have pretty good exclusives but overall i think the ps3 has more good exclusives. So the advantages for a ps3 is silent system, blue ray, free psn, more exclusives For the x360 , better controller, cross over voice chat, dependable online service, cheaper price. I choose my x360 back in the day for the cheaper price and the better controller mainly, i have grown accustomed to the cross over voice chat and flawless xlive service. As much i would like to play some exclusives like uncharted & infamous, i wouldn't trade in my x360 for a ps3 mainly for the controller. greetz.

both are good consoles, i like the 360 controller more, but i play fine on the ps3 controller too. i wouldnt say the controller is better for speed, it think it just comes down to what youre used to.

You're going to buy a 360. For CoD? O_O

Oh my...
