[QUOTE="gaboi09"]

lol, wow really?

xbox360 looks all but dead after this years E3 IMHO. MS dosen't even look like they care if xbox360 brings out anything new and exciting to it's fans this year. Tell us...are you a fakeboy?

You caught my typos :oops: I am doing this at work while doing other stuff. I apologise for the typographical errors, the question however still stands.

sorry I was just highlighting the words that stood out to me not trying to poke fun at gramatical errors on a game fourm. Anyway if you are serious then I am just curious to what game/s in perticular make you feel this...are they exclusvie 360 games or were they the PC crossplatform games that impressed you?

If you truly can only have 1 and if it was the cross-platform PC games that impressed you (Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Convictions, Modern Warfare 2,Left for Dead 2) then I would keeping your PS3 and upgrading your PC and have the best combo.

Alright here we go. I am at a friends house the other day and just sort of goofing around on his XBOX. I guess I forgot how awesome the Live integration is and just overall ease of use. I was impressed at how quickly they had put E3 coverage up on the service. I begun to watch some videos like Crackdown2 which by the way I was a huge fan of the first one. I guess I should say this would not be my first XBOX 360:oops: We watch Splinter Cell and some other stuff. I get home fire up PS3 and for the first time in recent memory it just felt sort of anemic and I actually felt a bit turned off by it. I know this sounds bizarre but I kind of resented it bare boned features. The online games do suffer because there is not much community. I always feel like the system sort of gets the shaft in multiplats and XBOX 360's lead feels even more insurmountable after spending quality time with it again. I don't think PS3 sucks or anything like that I just think the whole XBOX experience with Live seems more alive.

It's true, though. PS3 started off like a heap of **** but now it is nearly on par with the 360.

What is it exactly that made you want the 360 at E3? 75% of the games announced are already on PS3. Don't believe all the hype that multiplatform games are soo different for 360 brother. 9/10 they are exactly the same and you would barely notice a difference even if you were playing them side by side. All of your friends are on XBL? Who cares they'll make the switch eventually. You won't need to say a thing, RROD will do all the talking for you. Now I had a similar situation my woman was very upset that I wanted a 360. But we have 2 HD TV's and hooking up my PC to the TV all the time got annoying so I picked up an arcade for a few cheap exclusives. The best solution is to have both but if you need to choose one I suggest you walk away from the Walmart darling. MegajerkNYC

Is this directed at me?

Yes. Why do you want a 360 now? What happened at E3 to change your mind?

Not from what I've heard. Everyone around here is saying that the high rated PS3 games aren't that great, and that the 360 still has the good games and better multiplats...

Seriouly if your wife is telling you exactly what you are allowed to buy then you are in for a rough life.

i'd advise you to stick with your PS3. the difference between multiplats on the two systems is negligable at best, there are a small group of multiplats that even perform/look better on PS3, and the future just looks that much brighter for the PS3.

Huh? You mean other than the dvd drive, lack of bluetooth, lack of wifi, and batteries for the controller? Hmm...I guess it's not outdated when compared to the PS2.

if ur willing to pay 40-50 dollars a year for gold subscription and enjoy the nice online community 360 has then buy it.

http://www.mlgpro.com/live/event/2009/columbus

look at that support for just halo 3 and gears 2. that many people drawn together for one tournament. this league actually tried promoting big ps3 titles like resistance 2 and killzone 2 with $50,000 online tournaments, but the turn out was very low. they couldnt even fill up the tournament ladder in the resistance 2 tournament. and also killzone 2 only has 60 active teams playing for that 50,000 dollar ladder. its proven that 360 has a more hardcore online community than ps3.

Put some money on the side and work towards it. Just let the money come together over a couple of months and get one. If your wife is worried about how much time you might spend, settle on days of the week or what time of the day you can indulge yourself. Consider it your sports time.

You're married and can't afford two systems? I call fake.PCGamer248
I hope you being sarcastic but I doubt it. I guess you single then. The guy probably has responsibilities like a job,bills,tie with the spouse,etc... Gaming is not that important. Im married and I can afford all three systems but Im fine with just my PS3. And I barely have time to play it sometimes.

I don't see any reason to trade in the PS3 for a 360, especially considering all the new things that'll be coming out for it soon.

You shouldkeep the ps3 and invest in a gaming pc. Not only areyou benefiting from the ps3 (upcoming killer exclusives), but you're receiving all the 360 multiplats for PC :) and all the great PC exclsuives.

My personal choice is you get both, 360. Great exclusives and multiplats (360/PC). You cant go wrong.

PSN has a lot of E3 coverage up on their server as well. And you can download the entire Sony conference in 720p. I couldn't find any option on Live to download the conference and instead just saw short streamed clips. So PSN has a lot of features and integration as well, I wouldn't consider it bare bones.

Yea to be fair the PS3 is looking to have the much more solid lineup for the rest of the year and early next year than the 360.

You realize this is completely subjective to the eye of the beholder. I believe the exact opposite, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake and Halo ODST look more appealing to me.

Huh? You mean other than the dvd drive, lack of bluetooth, lack of wifi, and batteries for the controller? Hmm...I guess it's not outdated when compared to the PS2.

What does any of that have to do with it's most important feature....GAMES? So far the only advantage Blu-ray has shown is no disk swapping. Holy crap! I just got slapped by the future!

And the last time I checked, the 360's battery charge lasts far longer than the DS/sixaxis. Why would you buy regular batteries for the 360 controller anyway? I have 2 year old batteries in my 360 controller that holds a charge longer than both my DS3s.

Both the PS3 and 360 are great. I enjoy both quite a bit.

If by chance you are Canadian; Future Shop is advertising Mass Effect, Too Human, Lost Odyssey and the 360 version of Dead Space for $9.99. Too Human at $9.99 may be a good deal idk, but those other 3 games are steals especially Dead Space.

and this is the reason you bought a gaming console for these useless features, seems like you know nothing about the main reason for a console GAMES, its obvious MS put gaming first and all the unnecessary crap second if this useless crap on the PS3 meant anything then the PS3 wouldnt be in a distant third place now would it, so by your logic the Nintendo Wii should be in last place instead of a distant first since its outdated just like the 360 enjoy your useless features, no wonder my PS3 collects so much dust ill probably wipe it off when I decide to watch some Blu-Ray movies

Dont do it, the 360 games are average at best. I have everyone of there so called great exclusives and none of them are that good. Almost forgot if you get a 360 mine as well buy 200 batteries or so because you will go through them like changing your underwear.
