Make up your own mind. All I can suggest is waiting for another price drop.

In my opinion you'll have more replay value with Halo 3's multiplayer than both MGS4 and MGO combined. You should get a 360 first and save up and buy a PS3 when they're on sale again this holiday. You'll be good.

Like the PS3's upcoming game/Metal Gear fan - Playstation 3.

Like the Xbox 360's upcoming game/Banjo fan - Xbox 360.

Avoid the rush, get both. That way you will not miss any exclusives. plus you can buy the multi plats, on which ever console has the best version. Both are great, and have great games. If I were you, I would buy the PS3 now, and the 360 in August when the jasper chips come out.

This. If you like Halo, you will probably end up wasting away hours and hours online. And if you get bored with it, there are bunch of older games you can get cheap now.

get a PS3. its the best deal by far as you get bluray and wifi + free online, all things 360 doesn't offer for the same price! + 360 is crap hardware that basically is guaranteed to rrod on you a some time.

And you do not want to miss MGS4, that game is so amazing.

where is that guaranee? Also since when is bluray and wifi a reason to buy a gaming console. It is always about the games. SInce the 360 library is stronger and will only get stronger then the 360 would be best.

However he asked for a neutral opinion. So it be best he do research on what games he like.

Pick either. When the one you didn't pick is dirt cheap (3 years from now), pick it up and hit the few exclusives you missed.

That's like saying Horrorscopes are real because when people read them, they look for certain things to happen. Granted, it is a problem, but nothing like it used to be.

well to be honest most of the great games this gen are multiplat? cod4, gta4, orange box and so on

ps3 is probably the best investment with the blu-ray player being a bonus and I believe has the best line up in 08 and looking to have the best lineup in 09 as well

Metal gear solid 4 is totally amazing and the rest of the year brings, Socom, Resistance 2, Little big planet, Motorstorm 2, Infamous, White knight story, Plus a few others

It used to be 360 now and ps3 in the future but with mgs4 being released it's ps3 now 360 in the past it's time has come and gone.

Those numbers would have to be very high, to guarantee the RROD. Each reissue of the 360 lowers the rate of RROD. it's still high around 16%, but with the jasper this fall, it should drop to a livable 2-3%. SHOULD drop, Not guaranteed. LOL, sorry just had to use the reference.

Well we can all beat around the proverbial bush about this system has "blah" and this system does "blah" and so on and so on...

But there is a bottom line here, and it is simply this: If you are a Metal Gear fan, you need to - no, no let me re-phrase that - you have to play MGS4... You have to. Simple. And, in order to do that you will require a PS3 (Heck, if you are a fan of video games period, you must play MGS4...)

Therein lies your answer...

Neutral answer: 360 :)

especially if you have friends with 360s. I've already wasted so much time that i should probably use to look for a job.

I know of a few people who have never had it. And like I said, with the newer consoles that chance is going to be very slim. My elite is cooler then my PS3. My nephews pro is 2 years old and never even hiccuped. So the whole RROD is not as big as claimed. google it, it is well known.

At this point, the Xbox 360 has much better games, a better line-up and a better online service. Its also $50 cheaper and you get backwards compatibility.

Also RROD isn't an issue if you get a newer xbox 360 console and keep it horizontal.

They are pretty much the same in my opinion, I have both a 360 and a PS3 and besides online they have pretty much the same games on both consoles that I would buy (CoD4, Orange Box, GTA 4, etc.), it all comes down to exclusives. That is where you have to make up your own mind, do a little research.

Well i'd say buy a 360 now and then save up for the PS3 this holiday. Well either way you'll be having a great time I just prefer the 360 for Live, 360 Controler, and the games, but there really similar overall.

well. its hard to get a neutral opinion here.

my tip to u is to research alot on both consoles. find out everything u can about both of them.

eg pros of ps3: hardware reliability /// cons: few exclusive games worth buying

pros of 360: big game library.//// cons: RROD.

also, consider ur friends. do they hav 360 or ps3? u would most probably want to play with them don't you.

anyway, MOST of the good games out there are multiplats ( rockband, gta4). with a few exceptions for exclusive games ( mgs4, halo3 so on..)

after u have weighed all the factors, u can most probably decide for urself. =)

i have both, but prefer the 360 because i've got more use out of it

i only have 3 PS3 games .. uncharted, ninja gaiden sigma and MGS4

i have a lot more on 360, inlcuding multiplats

so ultimately it comes down to the library you like most, but ofc take into consideration future releases

Get a 360 first, then a ps3 at Christmas (or Fall :)) When its likely to have a price drop and youll have a bit more money saved up.

I'd say go for the 360. The back catalog on the 360 blows away everything on the PS3, whose back catalog sucks. If you like waiting to play a great game every now and then, by all means, get a PS3, it will have more epic games. If you just want to be able to do gamegrinding sessions...360 and it's not even close.

I am also thinking about which one of these to buy. Not interested in blu-ray movies at all. I am more interested in the arcade games and streaming media capabilities than anything else. Maybe I will buy them both then return one.

Which Library of games are you most interested in?

Do you watch more movies than you play games?

Do you want a tacked on online service or a full featured one?

Have you been more partial to Sony exclusives or MS exclusives?

Honestly these are the questions to ask yourself!

For a neutral response, get an Xbox 360, and a PS3 later. Then you will have much more games to play on it. Due to the heavy installations required for most games now on the PS3, it is not a good primary console for a HDD about 40GB. I have a 40GB, and with only 5 games on my game data list, I have used up over half my HDD. The PS3 makes a good secondary console.
