After I play RE 5 and SO 4 I don't really see anything interesting to play other than maybe Prototype and Borderlands and I think they are multi-plat aren't they? Maybe it's about time to switch over to PS3? It seems like every 360 game goes to PC or PS3 now but PS3 seems to be keeping some exclusives.

Hmmm, it's just slow with exclusives right now, come E3 it should change (hopefully).

edit: Owning both a PS3 and 360 (if it's an option), is definately worth it.

Why would you switch to an inferior console? That's madness. If you want a ps3, get one but keep the superior 360.

Choice is yours. Its about the exclusives really. And reliability, if your 360 decides to die like 40 percent of the others.

there isnt anything new coming out big in the next few months. After I finish RE5 and Killzone 2 I'll be going backwards to buy games like Gears 2 and Valkryia Chronicles b/c nothing big other than Crysis max next months looks blockbuster level.

I wouldn't switch, especially if you play live alot, I switched and can't say it was an entirely pleasant experience. When your sitting at a game store looking at all the ps3 games, and realize you've played 90% of them, thats when it really hit. Unless your really interested in buying every single exclusive for the ps3, its kinda like spending an extra 200 and loosing all the games you have to, buy something that will give you an almost identicle experience, some things worse, some things better...

We are in the same boat, after RE5 and SO4, I'm not interested in much, most of it is multiplat, heck even RE5 is... I'd recommend a PS3 purchase. :P

Yah, what you should do is switch to PS3, and then when the PS3 goes through a similar time like the 360 is supposedly going through now then you can regret that decision.

Just save up, and own both so you won't miss out on games.

As in what does it literally mean? What I meant was that you could come in and actually post without your fanboy tendencies, and you just randomly bash the PS3, even though they are both even.

I think you got that filp floped. Oh wait thats right you do. 360 is superior in failure rate nothing more. Take those goggles off. To answer TCs question yes i think so. 4 months into the year and not even a major game announced, smells like trouble. If there waiting for E3 to announce there games which is in june well it cant be much with only 6 months left in the year at that point.

Actually I rarely play games online. I got the 360 for all the JRPGs that came out and now PS3 seems to be getting some very interesting Japanese style games finally.

Crysis: Maximum Edition? That's just a repackaging of the first game and Warhead. Hardly anything to be excited about.

An extra 200 dollars? not hardly, unless you are comparing the robust package the 80 GB sku comes with against the bare bones arcade. i'm not saying anything is wrong with the 360 arcade package, if that's all you can afford it's a good way to get into gaming imo, but no hdd and no wi-fi is a serious drawback i think.

It means you've been called out and you're credibilty to remain neutral and not be a fanboy and show unbias has been discovered.

I do wonder why a lot of these threads spring up as to why this person would like to trade their console or their bored of it *whatever reason *

in system wars - clearly they are being really fake about it knowing that the opposing fanboys would supprot the decision and use it as ammo to discredit the given console the TC purported to support in the first place.

Seems to becoming a more common tactic now

Pretend you have the console and dease it by queerying if they should get the other console in a system wars thread- this shoul be discused in games discussion or the PS3 board, Xbox360 board etc.

Fakeboys!!!

Hmm, I'll try any genre atleast once. I particularly like Japanese games, mostly JRPGs and SRPGs. Hate stealth games.

since you're a jrpg lover then get a ps3 because FFversus13, White Knight Chronicles are coming.

or you can import some region free Jrpgs from japan.

I think you got that filp floped. Oh wait thats right you do. 360 is superior in failure rate nothing more. You forgot to add library size, number of AAA's, AA's, A's, marketshare, online...you know the reasons to have a GAMING console in the first place. Take those goggles off. Irony at its finest. To answer TCs question yes i think so. 4 months into the year and not even a major game announced, smells like trouble. If there waiting for E3 to announce there games which is in june well it cant be much with only 6 months left in the year at that point. See cows in 2006, 2007, 2008. 3 years, 3 times identical claims made, 3 times cows looked foolish come 12/31.[/QUOTE]Man, you guys make it so easy, and make such a bad image for the non cow Sony fans.

Hmm, I have to agree with him. The 360 has more games, better games, better graphics, superior online, and a better GPU. That's more important than having a better CPU and Bluray IMO. They are gaming consoles after all.. This is coming from a pc gamer btw...

Exclsuive-wise, I can only think of Halo ODST (and the yearly surprisely awesome downloadable game). But if you don't care of the "Only on" logo, there are quite a few interesting things coming: Tales of Vesperia (not released in EU yet) Bioshock 2 Dead Rising 2 Batman Arkham Asylum Lost Planet 2 The Witcher: The White Wolf Those are the games in my hype list right nao. So nay, the 360 is not running out of steam.

you could probably get the two seperate editions for cheaper then the repackage now too.

The months up until about august are always relatively slow, august - january are the big gaming months.

It's that damned friends list. If it's a coop game the 360 wins by default. This is the one thing that many cows don't realize. Having good exclusives is great, but it can't compare to a fully stocked XBL friends list. That isn't going to change anytime soon.

M$ always backloads their big games towards the end of the year. They will drop a couple of nuggets in the summer, but the in the 2nd half of the year you will be overwhelmed with games. It happens every year.
