PS3 or XBOX 360, if there's no Exclusives...?

If there's no Exclusives, and all games were coming out on both platforms, which console would you stick with?

I own both, but since 1 console will have all the games the other console will have, I would go with PS3.

How about you?

PS3, due to the Blu-Ray. Though it's an offset for the generally better 360 multiplats.

Definitely PS3 for Blu-ray and WiFi. Multiplats are almost identical. The Xbox Live experience is a little better than the PSN, but you have to pay for it which is ridiculous to me, so I would still go with PS3 for online gaming.

PS3 of course. Joker for Batman: AA alone makes it better than the 360.

No exclusives like GOWIII, GeoW, Halo, KZ2, GT5, Forza3, LBP, Resistance, Ratchet, Banjo, MGS4, Uncharted 2, Fable II, Demon's Souls, etc? :shock:

--------

Well, in that case I would take the $299 Blu-Ray player instead of paying $299 for a NON Blu-Ray player. Then we look at RELIABILITY between both consoles, and SOLD. PS3 wins easily.

1. BLU-Ray Friggin' Player!!!!
2. Free Online
3. Reliability Comparison
   
4. Free WiFi
   

This is easy! I would be willing to give up a few Live Features in this reality, for sure.

That's not our reality though.:P

--------

Waits for Damage Control Posts, declaring DVD quality is just as good as Blu-Ray!, Multiplat Pixels!, the ability to DOWNPLAY BLU-RAY and somehow support Pixel Counting is amazing to me, etc. :lol:

360. better versions, online and my favourite controller

ps3 due to blue-ray and free online

360, as 90% of the multiplats would look better

PS3 easy for wifi, blu-ray, upgradeable hard-drives, free online, web browser, and reliability. It's not even close. At the same price, anyone who gets 360 over ps3 not caring about exclusives is an dumb consumer

Xbox 360 would have the better versions based on precedent, so I would go with the Xbox 360.Stevo_the_gamer

I would have to go with PS3. Free online as well as the Blu-ray player certainly help (although I still prefer the 360's online).

360 for the controller.

PS3 of course. Joker for Batman: AA alone makes it better than the 360.

PS3 because without exclusives, the original Xbox would have died and therefore the 360 wouldn't even exist.

PS3 because I don't like kids screaming at me.

If I could play them online, I would have to go with 360. 360 has better online services, and generally better multiplatform games.If not I'd say PS3. The PS3 is a better piece of hardware, especially since you get a blu ray player out of it.

Xbox 360, I could care less for Blu Ray and prefer the online games on 360 much more. Controller is better for 360. People actually have headsets online and there is party chat. Not to mention Multiplats are either the same on both consoles or about 20% of the time better on 360.

I could care less about Blu-Ray. I can play all my DVD's upscaled to 1080P on my XBox 360. Look just as good (as Blu-Ray)...

C'mon, not this again.

DVD's upscaled do not look remotely like Blu-Ray. :roll:

It's been YEARS man, you should stop by an electronic store and see what a Blu-Ray Movie Disc really is.

Interesting thought experiment TC.

PS3 for hardware reliability and for being an overall better piece of hardware.

The only other thing besides exclusives MS has is XBOX LIVE which is terrific and all, but I much prefer free gaming with less of the features that I likely will not use. It also has the better multiplatforms for the most part with exclusive content though... Hmm, this is a tough choice. I am not going to vote.

By the way, what becomes of the exclusives if you arent counting exclusives? Do they not exist or are they multiplatform?

Ok, so at this point, since no Exclusives:

PS3 Advantage:
Free Online
Blu-Ray Player.
Upgradable Hard Drive.
Rechargable Controller.
Blu-Ray Discs (More Data).
Bluetooth.

XBOX 360 Advantage:
NETFLIX - (BUT, Coming Soon To PS3)
Better Online Experience.
Some Developers Developing for XBOX 360 First, Usually Means Better Graphics.
Even If Developers Port Games From PS3, XBOX 360 Will Still Look Good.

PS3 Dis-Advantage:
Not So Good Online Experience.
Ports From 360 Usually Not As Great.
Some Developers Having Hard Time Developing From PS3.

XBOX Dis-Advantage:
Online Not Free.
Minimal Hard Drive Upgrade Option.
Hard Drive Pricey.
Add-On's With Extra Cost.
Some Games May Require More Discs.


This is a few thing that I thought of, If any mistakes, just correct me.

I still think PS3 is the way to go.

Reliability. The fact that I am still on my first PS3 and now on my third 360 says something

Hi, I meant was that the Exclusives were Multi-plat :)

Basically every game will be on all consoles. So which console would you stick with? :)

I can play all my DVD's upscaled to 1080P on my XBox 360. Look just as good

blackace

Proof you have never even watched a blu-ray movie.

definetly PS3, just because it's a superior system

considering they are both suposed to be gaming consoles i would go with the 360

blue-ray is nice and all, but gameing systems are suposed to play games.

if i wanted to watch movies i would have bought a blueray player.

DVD movieup-scaled to 1080p just as good asa Blu-Ray movie... No way ;)

ps3 for the

built in wifi

rechargable usb controllers

blu-ray player

easy/cheaper hard drive replacement/upgrade

The looks

internet browser

free online that plays and runs a lot smoother IMO and experience

failure rate is half of 360s RROD fiasco

it only does everything!

PS3 for me!

• Free online
• Free Wifi
• Blu-ray
• Web Browser
• Better hdd upgradability

[QUOTE="comeonthehoops"]360 has superior multiplats, a better controller, and more users. However the PS3 has free online and a blu-ray player, and is also more reliable. I'd probably go for the PS3, but I'd have a hard time getting used to the awful design of the controller.True_Gamer_

i wonder if they ever thought maybe it was their controller that was akward. only to find they dont know any different. so when they touch a ps3 controller it feels alien and awful.

well if that was true i would have gone with ps3, but sadly. i live in norway and the price here is quite diffrent

i can get an xbox360 for 1899 kr. with 2 games and about 2499 kr. for elite with 2 games

while ps3 is around 3399 kr. slim with 2 games

That's true that even though PS3 Online is not that attractive, I would have to say that I've had no problems playing online. I pretty much had a great lag-free, and free online experience.

I would go with the PS3 simply because I hate anything and everything Micro$oft. I refuse point blank to ever buy any of their products
