For all you haters, degenerates, and fanboys, you must understand that neither the 360 nor the PS3 is worth getting at this moment in time. Paying anywhere from $400-$600 for systems right now that have a limited quantity of good games isn't worth it. The only real game worth getting on the 360 is Gears of War, you know this. Sony fanboys, Resistance isn't worth the $500-600 price tag. Motorstorm pretty much lost all of it's hype after the IGN article http://ps3.ign.com/articles/765/765336p1.html The game may look good graphically but it plays slow and is obviously being rushed. It will score somewhere in the low 8's here on GS, 7.9 even, considering the media despises the over-priced PS3.

Basically, if you're looking to get into next-gen gaming, buy an HDTV first and wait till the 360 and the PS3 drop in price (or wait for a good promotion like bundled games or discounts). Anyone undecided on whether to purchase a PS3 or a 360, look at the lineup of games being released for each one in the next few years and make your decision accordingly.

Finally, by no means is the PS3 a bad console. Lemmings, your whole argument of "all cows say wait, wait, wait," is void considering you had to wait a year for Gears. Listing off "PDZ, KAMEO, COD2, PGR3" as solid launch titles won't work. Those games aren't spectacular by today's gaming standards, you know this. Further, you who were suckered into buying PDZ don't like the game either. MGS4, FFXII, DMC4 are 3 very solid titles and you can't take that way from the PS3. Halo 3, Mass Effect, and whatever lame game you guys are hyping are solid titles as well.

Stopped taking you seriously after you said Gears is the only good game for the 360. As for your advice to buy an HDTV and wait to get a 360, I already have 2.

Technically, the best course of action is to wait until the gen is over then buy everything then. But it sucks waiting.

I agree with your last paragraph, lemmings are getting too big for their guns, when ps3 gets into full swing, they will then start panicking.

It's the only game really worth spending over $550 for (tax, game, Live-membership).

 i agree with everythign there exept for gears being the only good 360 game and motorstorm not being good.

Oblivion and gears were great games, so thats 2 for a hole year. Not alot but its more then one. Motorstorm is very fun even on the demo, so i think the game will be pretty amazing. Online sounds fun :P

When i got my 360 at launch i bought 4 games.

Kameo - http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/kameoelementsofpower/index.html?q=Kameo

Perfect Dark Zero - http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/perfectdarkzero/index.html?q=PDZ

PGR3 - http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driving/projectgothamracing3/index.html?q=Project%20Gotham%20Racing%203

and CoD2 - http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/callofduty2/index.html?q=COD2

...shortly thereafter i got Condemned and DOA4. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/adventure/condemned/index.html?q=Condemned

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/deadoralive4/index.html?q=DOA4

That's 4 exclusives and 2 multiplatforms. The exclusives having 1 AAA title and 3 very high AA titles. The multiplatform titles being both AA.

If you want to argue opinions then go for it...but scores don't lie. While i think that Resistance is alot of fun (yes, i've played it, extensively), i don't think that $600 is worth it for that game alone. And lets be realistic here...what did anyone really know about Gears of War that was concrete at the time when the 360 launched? Not much. I'm not stating that the 360 launch was anything incredible in terms of game quality...but it was at least a good launch in terms of game quality. It definitely had alot more at launch than the PS3 did (again, in terms of game quality). I could go on and on about the list of games for the 360 that make the console worth it. It's a waste of time though since you either know most of them or just completely write them off in some stereotypical fashion. The 360 is worth getting right now and, IMO, was at launch. The PS3 will be worth getting when MGS4 comes out.

Again, this is my opinion. PS3 will possibly be worth getting before MGS4, seeing as Heavenly sword is shaping up rather well. But this is my opinion.

So you say neither of those two are worth due to some opinions. Are you saying the Wii is worth it over those 2?

Disagree with you on basically all 360 related counts. While todays 360 games are better than the launch stuff, the launch titles were great for their time. (heck, Kameo outscored R:FOM) For a PC gamer (like me) paying ~399.00 for a complete system is......nothing. I already owned an HDTV devoted to just gaming. Waiting years to jump in is nonsense. If I did that, I'd lose years I could have been gaming on next-gen consoles. A "poor" argument, literally and figurativlly.

im not a cow, im a sheep, and i dont really like cows, but when the ps3 starts going, the lemmings will settle down. Alot of people think it will just flop, who nos, it might, but with the popular europe launch coming, anything can happen.

If that's true then neither the PS3 or Wii have one killer app. :?

I agree with you but those 4 titles aren't worth buying a 360 for. Waiting until a solid game base is formed on both systems is a smarter move than buying those games. Those games will have little influence on the 360's life a year from now. Gears will, but not Project Gotham 3, not Call of Duty (a multiplat), not Kameo, and definitely not Perfect Dark Zero. Resistance and Motorstorm won't set it's mark on the PS3 either.

That's true. PS3 does not have a killer app. Zelda with Wii is debatable

I think the Wii is in a class of it's own. It's not really next-gen. However, it is a killer deal and some of the games being released for it look great but a Wii is somewhat of an impulse buy.

Why would you buy a HDTV first? Woudn't it be better to a a console first, then wait a couple more years to buy HDTVs... you save way more money that way.... I mean how much would 360 go down each yr? about $100.... How much are HDTVS going down by each year? $1000.... (AUS $)

:)

I was very hyped for Kameo, PGR3, and PDZ. While PDZ was a slight dissapointment, it still ate up a good amount of my time. Kameo and PGR3 however were incredibly worth it IMO. Call of Duty is a very known franchise that is known for having quality games. That game is great simply by default. And, in fact, the game is great (unfortunately only had 8 people online, luckily CoD3 is better and has 24). Like i said though, these were worth it to me.

PS3 was suppose to be in full swing in spring 06. What happened? PS3 was suppose to be in full swing in November 06. What happened? PS3 was suppose to dominate the market in Japan. What happened? PS3 was supposed to be revitalized with the canada launch. What happened? Honestly. How much more WAITING do the Sony fans and fanboys have to endure?

Agreed. I love how he says nothing about the Wii. By your Logic Zelda tp is not worth 250$. Anyone who has it for the Wii and not for the GC is an utter fool.

I have to totally disagree. I do not even own Gears of War, it was a good rental though. I own Rainbow six vegas however, very cool game.

There are lots of good games on the 360 I rather enjoyed beating. It is why I bought it. I have always been a renter. I enjoy beating games and doing it fast. After that I find little value in most games. The ones I think are worth owning I buy. I still have not beating all the 360 games I want to. And so much more are comming that I very much look forward to beating.

Paying anywhere from $400-$600 for systems right now that have a limited quantity of good games isn't worth it. The only real game worth getting on the 360 is Gears of War, you know this. Sony fanboys, Resistance isn't worth the $500-600 price tag. Motorstorm pretty much lost all of it's hype after the IGN article http://ps3.ign.com/articles/765/765336p1.html The game may look good graphically but it plays slow and is obviously being rushed. It will score somewhere in the low 8's here on GS, 7.9 even, considering the media despises the over-priced PS3.

Basically, if you're looking to get into next-gen gaming, buy an HDTV first and wait till the 360 and the PS3 drop in price (or wait for a good promotion like bundled games or discounts). Anyone undecided on whether to purchase a PS3 or a 360, look at the lineup of games being released for each one in the next few years and make your decision accordingly.

Finally, by no means is the PS3 a bad console. Lemmings, your whole argument of "all cows say wait, wait, wait," is void considering you had to wait a year for Gears. Listing off "PDZ, KAMEO, COD2, PGR3" as solid launch titles won't work. Those games aren't spectacular by today's gaming standards, you know this. Further, you who were suckered into buying PDZ don't like the game either. MGS4, FFXII, DMC4 are 3 very solid titles and you can't take that way from the PS3. Halo 3, Mass Effect, and whatever lame game you guys are hyping are solid titles as well.

I logged many many hours on PDZ myself even though the game is noweher near the HD gaming  standards set now. Kameo is also an awesome game that I logged quite a lot of time on. I disagree that now, Gears of War is the only game worth getting the 360 for. Maybe that is your taste but not quite a few others on this forum. The game that is worth getting the 360 for is Oblivion. If I don't want to improve my computer with a video card that would be capable of running it I would rather just get a console and play it on that.

I know what you are going to say. "But a video card is only worth at most $400" or whatever. Well not everyone has a computer that can be upgraded with one of the latest video cards. Along with the video card I would also need a new power supply and a few other things to even think about gettign a new video card.

Completely disagree with you. I've had my 360 since launch and haven't had a single day when I'm bored of all the games available.

It's the only game really worth spending over $550 for (tax, game, Live-membership).bannedOHNOESSSS


Ah, so here's the problem. I don't agree with you (GeoW is not worth $550). However, GeoW does NOT make the 360. All the other games do. GeoW is just the one at the forefront. And I'm talking at least ten games worthy of the time of anyone.

[QUOTE="shungokustasu"] Gears is the only killer app on 360. Sure, there could be other good games.



This is pretty much it. GeoW is the 360's current exclusive must-have... but there are so many other great games around, you're not buying a "GeoW box".

That's probably the dumbest thing i read all week. ~_~ Nex_Ownage


Aw, c'mon, don't be like that. Sure, it wasn't Pulitzer worthy, but this IS SW. You can find dumber things easily.

There's a few great games on the 360, Oblivion is awesome and so is Gears, you have ghost recon, and rainbow six vegas all great games. There is also a lot of good games on the 360 with dead rising, kameo, lost planet, cod 3, wwe smackdown, and alot of others...that all are worth owning. On top of that the game lineup for this year is nasty good. With halo3, Gta 4, Mass effect, forza motorsports all coming out in the same year...plus there's a lot more then that. Those are  just the ones guaranteed to sale a million or so copies.

The ps3 has a couple of good games, though its only been out a few months. You have resistance, Fnr 3, nba 2k7 are good games. This years lineup for the ps3 is nasty as well with motorstorm, heavenly sword, warhawk, lair, Gta 4, and a few others that are going to be worth getting. On top of that you get a decent free online service, a blue ray player and a cheap computer if you put linux on it.

My near 7 year library of PS2 games is about 22 games.

My near 1 year library of 360 games is 11...

I wonder if I made a good choice with buying a 360.

PS3 + HDMI cable + HDTV = good enough for me Yes, the games are bad. But even if I were to use it as a bluray player, I'm more than happy with what I paid for. (considering most bluray players go for more than $600) the picture quality is truly astounding I'm sure the Xbox360 HD-DVD drive is just as good. And to say it only has one good game makes it hard for anyone to take you seriously. As a Sony fan, even I can't argue the games are leaps and bounds above EVERYONE out there. (for the moment I hope)

I agree with your last paragraph, lemmings are getting too big for their guns, when ps3 gets into full swing, they will then start panicking.hyruledweller
stop thinking time will make the ps3 much more pwerfull than it is right now because its not true , developer work on the ps3 has long has the 360 and every mutiport look beter on the 360 with beter frame rate and faster loading accept it ps3 is a inferior machine with a bluray player incresing the price for nothing more on the game.

I say it worth getting both of them

1. they are not expensive

2. there are good games for them

3. anyone who decided to buy one or anyone else is already had one or two doesn't have to  be fanboys

Stopped taking you seriously after you said Gears is the only good game for the 360. As for your advice to buy an HDTV and wait to get a 360, I already have 2. Vyse_The_Daring
