Hi guys,

my ps3 has broken down for the second time outside of the warranty. i've got some titles that i really love (LBP,MGS4) but most of my other titles i like are on 360 aswell. I also want to play some of the xbox exclusives (GOW,Halo 3 and Halo Wars in the future) and given the new price of the 360 it is very tempting. The final deciding factor will probably be the titles coming up in the next year, but i'm not sure which titles worth the money are coming out next year and in the future.

So any opinion will be gratefully recieved thanks.

Yes, definetly, buy a Jasper model. A little bit of variety in consoles didn't kill anyone yet.

1 post? Fakeboy.Eyezonmii

he was Level 4 at the time of the post which means he wasn't a fake account, probably a new person.

I suppose he should thank you for greeting him to the forums in such a blatant manner,

but then again aren't all cows the same

Yea, definitely grab a 360. Theres a ton of good games in the library you can go back and check out, you'll get the NXE, Netflix, Live... Theres really no reason not to own one if you're a gamer

If you're happy with you were happy with your PS3 and already have a bunch of PS3 games and have a couple of PS3 controllers I would just say stick with your PS3.

Still the 360 is a brilliant console so if you want to then go for it.

I say stick with ps3. i mean if you already have games for it why would you get the other console and buy those games again? not to mention its getting killer games next year like kz2, gow3, gt5 and probably uncharted 2 en maby even more. halo isn't that great, IMO i think resistance is more fun, halo wars looks like nothing special, just another rts but named 'halo' to sell alot. i say stick with ps3

Hi guys,

my ps3 has broken down for the second time outside of the warranty. i've got some titles that i really love (LBP,MGS4) but most of my other titles i like are on 360 aswell. I also want to play some of the xbox exclusives (GOW,Halo 3 and Halo Wars in the future) and given the new price of the 360 it is very tempting. The final deciding factor will probably be the titles coming up in the next year, but i'm not sure which titles worth the money are coming out next year and in the future.

So any opinion will be gratefully recieved thanks.

It's usually the other way around,but if you want go ahead.

I would definitely recommend going for an Xbox360 - there's Gears of War, Halo 3, Too Human, Braid, Crackdown, Lost Odyssey, Last Remnant, Perfect Dark Zero... the list goes on. Plenty of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles too, and it's as cheap as 129.99GBP in some places! Of course, there's the ominous red ring of death to worry about, but Microsoft provide a 3 year warranty in the event of that happening, so it's not a massive problem - especially if you get a "Jasper" model. Try to get the PlayStation3 fixed, also - they're great consoles from what I've seen, I'm actually planning on buying one as soon as I can afford it! :)

stick with the PS3, this half of the year was great for the console and 2009 looks even better.

wouldnt be a bad choice if you did pick up a 360, but iv got a feeling 2009 is gonna be good for the PS3.

go to whatever one you want. If you prefer 360 games library get that, if you prefer ps3's get that. Both are built like **** anyway with the ps3 being slightly sturdier, so if that's your worry get a wii.

Might as well go for the 360, unless the PS3's '09 lineup looks good to you. My 360 hasn't given me one problem yet, and I got it a year ago. The new Jaspers should be even better.

Saying the PS3 has no games is the dumbest lemming argument on SW!:roll:

Blog it? If you really want advice on which system to pick, don't come to systems wars. Just research yourself. System wars is for people who are generally attention deprived.

I have to admit, that was both the wittiest and most insightful thing I've read today.
