OKAY console wars, I come to you for advice

I have traveled long and far from OT to seek knowledge and wisdom from you people. I need advice on my ever raging PS3 vs 360 debate. I can now say I at least know what I do and don't want.

PS3

Why I want it- Heavy Rain, inFAMOUS, MAG, free wifi, and it just looks more sexy, people on Home look cooler then Avatars on XBL

Xbox 360 (Elite)- GTAIV: Episodes from Liberty City,Fable II, Mass Effect series, better Online.

The games I want are multi platform: Assasin's Creed series, GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Saboteur, etc.

So help! Please?

Well you're not going ot get anything but biased remarks, so I'll just start by saying you should definitly buy a PS3

Oh goodie another one pretending he needs purchasing advice and thinks it's a good idea to ask this question in System Wars.

Sorry, doesn't seem like a good reason. Probably go with 360.

And you're missing out on a lot of the good games for both consoles.

Here we go:

ps3 - Heavy rain, and MAG are untested IP. Mag is being done by the same studio as socom which any Cow can tell you isn't a good series anymore. Heavy Rain is being developed by the same team as Indigo Prophecy so there's a chance of sucess, a chance of failure, or both. InFamous is an above average game w/ an amazing ending. Hopefully we'll see a sequel soon. Free wifi can be good depending on how your home is setup. My ps3, and router are surrounded by wireless devices, tvs, monitors, computers, and basically it's a mess trying to even stay connected wireless. Some people have better luck, but it really depends on you. Home is pretty awful, just ask anybody who's ever stepped foot in there. Sure some people like it, but it's mostly just a pretty interface w/ lobby functions.

360 - GTA:Episodes are overhyped... unless you love the storytelling in GTA you're not going to really see that much content hell most of the content from GTAIV was gutted. Fable II seems to be a game a lot of people like, and I can see that it's very well done, but honestly I found most of the gameplay elements lacking. I would basically get good at 1 thing then spam the hell out of it until I finished the game. Also it's a very buggy game so don't be surprised when it crashes on you. Mass Effect is an awesome series so it's definately a reason to pick up a 360. Better online is pretty vague. Most of the main features on live are also done on psn (slightly worse on psn though). If you're willing to keep paying $3-$5 a month XBL is perfect, but if you're more casual w/ your online psn isn't bad substitute.

Multiplats are pretty much the same on each system. A few DLC packs here and there, and a few glitches on each system, but overall there's really no major advantage on either of them.

Thing is Fable, and Mass effect will continue to have sequels for the 360. I highly doubt we'll see HR2, or MAG2 this gen so w/ the information given I'm leaning towards the 360, but honestly what you've given me tell me nothing about you as a gamer.

Wicked cool.

telling the person who's asking for help on deciding on something he's looking forward to that their opinion dosen't count is always a smart move. 8) Some are just alwayssuper smooth with their persuasion tactics in threads like this.

And people wonder why there are so many "I regret buying a xbox360" threads that pop up all the time.

Look you're not helping by tring to put down what he likes about each individual console based on your opinion. Tell him something good about the console you like or even something bad about the console you don't like (preferably not a lie) but don't try to tell him he's wrong for liking something about another console just becausehe's not praising the console you like best. geez.

Get The 360 BloodSeeker1337

i think we know the winner

Coming on to SW isn't the wisest option. Neither is asking a sales associate. Both of them are biased. I suggest you research games a little more. But I'll give my opinion anyway...

If you have a PC: Ps3

If you don't: 360

Why? If you don't have a PC then by adding 360/Pc games the good games count is over the 360. If you have a PC then you can get the killer Ps3 exclusives.

GTAIV is better on 360 in my opinion and it has Episodes from Liberty. There are no other games for me right now.

Just upgrade your PC and get Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Witcher and Kings Bounty. :P

Between the consoles it's hard to say. The PS3 has alot of really awesome exclusives, alot of which released this year. The 360 has had a less succesful year in terms of games, but you miss out on titles like Mass Effect. The 360 is also cheaper so take that into consideration. Also take into consideration that the 360 has a tendency to break. It's really just what games you want most at the time. If you like RPGs then I would get a PS3 for games like Dragon Age, Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles etc. (The 360 has more, but apart from Lost oddyysey and Mass Effect, not that much notable.), but a better option would be to upgrade your PC. As for shooters, I suppose the 360 takes the cake, but the PC dominates in the shooter department. Racing games, 360. Fighting games, either. Action/Adventure, PS3 probably.

I don't think it was serious in the first place. The reason why those threads pop up is because this place is full of fanboys, it dosn't take much to work that one out. You're super sarcastic tone helps no one.
