Multi-Platform Games: Should I buy them for the PS3 or 360?

So basically I'm wondering which system do you guys buy multi-platform games for if you have both a PS3 and 360?

It depends on the game for me but I usually buy multiplats for the 360.

360... Only PS3 games I have are exclusives (Socom, Killzone2, MGS4)...

I usually download both demos and then choose from there. So far, I have bought all of my multiplats on the 360. They usually run slightly smoother and I prefer the controller and xbox live.

whichever one friends buy it for. also, after late 2007, games look even on both consoles. just a few outliers: fallout 3 (xbox360), burnout paradise (ps3)

Mainly it depends on if it is a multi-player game, in which case you should buy it for whichever system you have more friends on. If that doesn't matter, then I'd say 360. It has a better online system, and aside from fighting games it has a better controler. I only buy exclusives for my PS3.

I think that in the end, is all about the online, sure, the PS3 have free online, but is not as good as live, and the 360, well, you have to pay, but the online is better than PS3, then again, the PS3 one is free.

I buy multiplats for my PS3. They usually don't look as good but I don't play online enough to justify Live, and I dispise having to let my 360 cool down every couple of hours. On top of that I like the PS control, and always have since the first dual shocks came out.

I am going to buy all multiplatform games for the PLAYSTATION 3. Good reason - FREE ONLINE. I can play them online 5 years from now. I refuse to ever pay for XBL again. If I want XBL from now until 5 years from now (which might not even be offered for the 360 in 5 years) I would have to pay $250!!! It's free on Ps3, so I will buy all multiplats for Ps3. RM84x

Neither. PC.

Doesn't really matter. usually the differences are so small it doesn't matter.

though there are some exceptions, where a game has more issues on one platform than the other, like the orange box on the PS3.

I buy 95% of multiplats for my PS3. Here's what you have to consider: Controller Perference: No explanation there. Online: PSN is free but if you already have Live then it's up to your friends list etc... Graphics: 360 multiplats still have a slight graphical edge over the PS3 but it's nothing major.Flamestos

Pretty much on the spot. Also there are sometimes where ps3 has a slight edge graphics wise,but its nothing major. I also get 98-99% of my multiplats on PS3.

I usually buy for PS3, but sometimes for 360, depends of how good of a job devs do on the PS3 version.

multiplats usually run better on the 360. but it depends on what system it the "ported" system. usualy thats the ps3s role. ported games r teh suq!!

The 360. I have more friends online on the 360, I prefer the controller and since multiplats generally perform better on the 360 (even if the difference is marginal), it's pretty much a no brainer for me.

Identical online systems, huh? What about cross-game chat and a real party system?

360

1 - better graphics

2 - better online

3 - better controller

PS3

1. More reliable discs, so my games will last longer, and be in better shape if I ever want to sell them.

2. The PS3 is more reliable so I'd say it's a safer bet, it would suck if I got all my multiplats for the 360 and then the console died on me.

3. I know I'll always have online up and running, even if a game has just some small online thingy, at least on PSN it will always work without having to worry about Gold memberships.

PS3. When I pay sixty bucks for a game I don't want to pay to "unlock" the multiplayer feature every year.

I always purchase multiplats for PS3 with a few exceptions.

5 years, maybe even sooner, Sony will have taken the servers down.

Xbox 360 for sure, unless you just cannot afford xbox live.
