MY 360'S IN THE KILLZONE! (Help me make a choice)

So I own all three systems (Wii, PS3, 360).....for now. Thing is, I'm on a student budget and well, I can't afford to keep picking up the hardware add-ons and software for all three consoles. So I need to make a choice and I'm leaning towards selling or trading in my XBOX360.

If you had asked me a couple weeks ago, I'd tell ya I'd get rid of my PS3. Thing is, the exclusive line-up is too strong and interests me more than the 360's for the next year+. I'll take Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet over Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Too Human and Fable 2. Not too mention Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4 and my most anticipated game, Killzone 2.

There are a couple of reasons why I chose the 360 other than the exclusive line-up.

1) I guess it's the least reliable system. Nothing wrong with mine, but people keep claiming it dies. That scares this gamer.

2) It's the least innovative. No Wii motion sensor, no sixaxis.

3) Compared to PS3, it's visually and functionally inferior. It's a less powerful system.

Still, with these things being said, the PS3 and Sony have to do a few things for me before I commit to them.

1) Sony has to stop delaying everything for the next few months.....Lair's push backs are getting ridiculous.

2) The PSstore updates have to be a little bit more than just videos each week. More PS1 games and add-ons are necessary.

3) The install base must increase. Until it's on its on own two feet, it's hard to commit to a potential Dreamcast.

Now don't go off thinking I'm just going to sell the 360 off before HALO 3! That would be madness. Basically, I'll take a few weeks to play Halo 3, so the PS3 must by then prove itself to me by the middle of October or Mid-November at the very latest. At that point, I think I can start to make my choice a little more clearly.

So what do you think? Please discuss and if you can defend the 360 and why I should keep it over PS3. Oh, and the Wii has no chance of going. It's more my brother's console but I want to play Mario Galaxy and the bro show it off to much to the friends for me to get away with ditching it.

Why do you people post this here? This should be on the oT board...Seriously are ur gonna get are fanboyish responses...killaj2786

That's what makes it better here. Basically, you're going to get the ultimate negatives revealed by Cows when it comes to me ditching the PS3 and vice versa for Lemmings. This is where you WANT to post this stuff to get down to the nitty-gritty of everything good and bad about a system.

Wait, huh?

I remember you on the PS3 Board. You owned a PS3, then you got bored of it, so you sold it for a 360. I clearly remember reading this thread of yours.

Anyways, you have to have a 360, or you'll be missing out. It's kinda silly to sell it right before the huge games are about to release.

You will sell it, then regret it.

are you insane??? i wouldnt ever sell a system even if i was the worse lemming everr.... we cannot say the 360 is graphically inferiour... yet... now for the money part it all comes down to personal choice... if you like asian games ps3... american games 360hobbit93

Hey man, hate to say it but School and medical costs eat up my earnings. The system I sell off will basically act as my gaming budget for the next year with the proceeds I get back in return. I guess that adds to my PS3 keeping opinion, free online......for now.

I know I'll regret it, but I don't have much of a choice here.

As for my PS3 bashing, don't think it's off the hook yet man. If it don't live up to those simple expectations of mine, I'll ditch that system instead.

Oh, as for me getting bored, well, you couldn't do much with Motorstorm and Resistance was a pretty average FPS in comparison to Halo and Half-life.....no system seller. So yeah, I WAS bored. No good exclusive. But now Lair comes soon, followed closely by Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and in November Uncharted, so that shouldn't be a problem any more.

The 360 has bridged the gap well until those games with Gears, LP and Forza 2.

I predict that the TC will always put down the ps3. I am sticking to it.

I own all 3 consoles, and the 360 would be the last one I'd sell. Awful idea.

lol, come on Nike....you know I've explained 100 times I want this system to be my console of choice, I'm behind the potential 100%. But man, I explain myself everytime I bash the PS3. Can you give me credit for that at least? lol.

Really? Which one would you get rid of?

check it out... if you sell your 360 u get 150 or 200 i dont know... thats for 3 SW hyped AA titles lair uncharted heavenly sword.... and miss out on a bunch of AAA hyped titles like mass effect, bioshock, lost oddysey blue dragon etc...that would be the most stupid thing i could see anyone eve rdoing edit- halo 3 replay value is hyped EPIC- forge editor

I own both 360 and PS3 and I think Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Killzone 2, MGS4, UT3(timed exclusive,) Little Big Planet, and GT5 look better than any game I've seen coming out for 360. I'll still keep my 360 though so I can play Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Gears of War 2+3. If I had to pick one though I'd say keep the PS3. It's really starting to display superior graphics (see Killzone2, GT5, MGS4, Heavenly Sword) and once Home arrives the online will be both amazing and free. PS3 just keeps on getting better and better. The only really bad thing about the console is the price, but since you own one already that shouldn't be a problem.

sell your Wii. Then buy it after Super Mario Galaxy is released or ask it as a present.

I would like for you to sell your ps3 and promise never to bother purchasing it ever again. Either that or just keep it , enjoy it , and do less complaining about it on the ps3 boards and in SW. Save that for playstation.com or IGN.

Think what you want of my past complaints. I believe they were quite justified and more than enough people agreed with me in those threads while you just kept crying "don't complain about it, just like it."

I would keep all systems. But yeah if you're strapped for cash just play through Halo3 and Mass Effect then dump it. That's prettymuch the end of 360s good lineup anyways. PS3 just has far more and better games on the horizon.

If you are on a student budget, Why did you have to buy all consoles within the fisrt year of their respective launches?!?! This is crazy, why coulnd´t you just wait another year/18 months or so? I think is great that you want to own all three, but there is barely reason to own them so soon. For goodness sake, the PS3 has a expected life span of 10 years, what´s the hurry?? Just look at what happens to early adopters: Launch 360 have red ringed almost to a 1:3 ratio, now the newer models have new heatsinks and better chip reinforcements. PS3 owner who bought at launch now see how Sony has dropped the price on the exact same model they bought $100. There where no games to justify the purchase of a PS3 at launch, no matter how you look at it. Wii, almost no real games outside of Zelda or Paper Mario, no serious 3rd party support yet, sure, it cost $250. But think about it, the Wii cost less than $100 bucks to build, it is, after all, a Gamecube 1.5 with waggle, Why is Nintendo charging so much for 5 year old tech? HAVE PATIENCE!!!! Buy the system when it´s reaching a sweet spot of price and content, you´ll feel better about it, and you´ll do a favor to your wallet too.SciFiCat

Agreed. Hell, how much are you going to get for a used console anyway? Get a second job or sell some plasma, man.

ok, granted. But I'm trying to keep positive. I'm still leaning towards the PS3 over the 360 aren't I?

tell ya what, no more of the same **** from me, ok. Only new **** if applicable. You won't hear a peep out of me of this weeks update unless I'm freaking out about how awesome the Heavenly Sword demo is if it comes out, ok?

For the record, I should not have bought all 3 systems when I did. It was a scholarship I used.....stupidly.

Second, did you not read that first line of the post? Student budget man, lol, STUDENT. No second job for me if I still want to pass Business School, heh.

So I own all three systems (Wii, PS3, 360).....for now. Thing is, I'm on a student budget and well, I can't afford to keep picking up the hardware add-ons and software for all three consoles. So I need to make a choice and I'm leaning towards selling or trading in my XBOX360. SkyCastleDan

If i say what I initially was going to say, i would have definately got modded. For you to purchase a system then take it back, your getting ripped off. Its an act of lunacy.Either stop purchasing hardware/software for the 360 or whichever your going to get rid of or sell it for at LEAST what you paid for it........
