Hello,

First thing, I want to clear that plz dont comment if ur going to say things like "PS3 SUCKS" or "KINECT IS A EYE TOY COPY." Lets keep this clean, cuz both systems are awesome.

I personally own a 360 which i bought in 2008 when 360 was better. But now the titles for the PS3 , like Infamous and Uncharted, are surpassing those of the 360 and the 360 is falling into a dark age. Now, im a huge fan of Adventure games, like Uncharted and Assassins Creed, and I love open-world games, like Infamous, RDR, and shooters, like Alan Wake, Mass Effect, etc. And I am more of a casual gamer who plays for fun, not a hardcore gamer. So I basically have 5 questions for u guys:

1. What exclusives do the 360 and the PS3 have?

2. Which system is better for Adventure, open-world, and shooting games?

3. Which system (in your opinions) should I get?

4. Do you need to buy a Wi-Fi adapter separately for the PS3?

5. WTH is wrong with Capitalism, why is money so important, why is profit everything, does customer satisfaction mean a thing? (optional)

Thanks a lot you guys

thats not very helpful, because i'm sure me and you and everyone else here, don't like the same things, i'm sure you have friends who own one or another, ask them or game on their system and see if you'll like it

You should get a (.......) because the (........) isnt as good. The (.......) has better games than the (.......) as well. So, just go with the (.......)

Mix and match to decide

1. PS3

2. 360

3. Wii

4. PC

5. PSP

6. DS

It's really up to you TC. Do some research and pick the system that has the most exclusives that you enjoy. Or you can pick the one most of your friends or family play on. Lastly, you could just save up 600 dollars or so and get both consoles lol. Either way you can't go wrong with either console both have awesome games and pros and cons to them.

1.- 360 - Gears of war, halo, Alan wake PS3 - God of War, Resistance, Last Guardian, Killzone, MGS (these days everything is multiplatform) 2.- 360 controller was made for shooters so 3.- The one most of your friends have, or an xbox 360 if you don't mind paying for live, which IMHO is really worth it (I owned both and I know what I'm talking about) 4.- No 5.- What's wrong, everybody is just thinking about how to squeeze every penny out of you. Money is not happiness but helps a lot. Does customer satisfaction mean a thing? not really but helps profit in a kind of fair way

I just got a 360 and i am highly dissapointed.The console has no new exclusives lined up for 2011.

PS3 is a far better choice bec of great lineup and free online.

However if you dont have a gaming PC then i suggest getting a new PC bec PC game line up for 2011 is simply awesome.

He doesn't have to do it himself. A better point would be that we have literally been debating that in thousands of threads for hundreds of pages and he could simply read them and get a very deep understanding of the debate. It's not like this thread hasn't been done before anyway. *spasm*

the one most of your friends have. most games are multiplats and exclusives are good on both consoles. If you prefer adventure/open world games you have RDR and GTA and most other are just mediocre. You'd be better off with a Wii and the Marios and Metroids there. Anyway I'd buy a 360

I'm lucky enough to have both and I'd go for the PS3 if I had to choose between them. Pretty much everything that looks good in the year ahead is either multiplatform or coming out on the PS3 (uncharted, last guardian, Little Big Planet 2). Xbox has probably got the edge on the back catalogue though. If you get a PS3 you'll be missing out on gears of war 3 and any future halo games though.

When I was a kid I had a Megadrive and a friend of mine had a SNES. Every few months we'd swap consoles for a week or two and then go back to our old systems. Get a PS3 and start sucking up to someone with an Xbox in time for gears of war 3.

I'd hate to spasm in here, but if you already have a 360, seems your choice would be obvious. Unless, I'm just the asshat for reading the OP.

1. Not enough time, but both have plenty. Remember, when comparing the PS3 to the 360, include 360/PC multiplats such as Mass Effect in the 360s lineup, unless you have a good gaming rig.

2. Not sure about Adventure games, but most open world games tend to be multiplat & the 360 is better for shooters.

3. Can't say, I love them both dearly.

4. Not sure, I just hooked a cable up to mine.

5. Customer Satisfaction is important in a capitalist society as it increases customer retention & thus improves/sustains profits. There is a lot wrong with Capitalism, but history shows it sure beats Communism.

Edit: Oh, Action Adventure. I think most are multiplat except for the few amazing ones such as UC2 & GoW III, so I'd give that genre to the PS3.

If you already own an Xbox360 why you asking which system to get? Just get a PS3.

1) As far as exclusives go just do a search on here for the 2011 exclusives. There are tons of threads about what's coming up.

1a) The PS3 has a good list of exclusives, somewill probably never see a 2011 release though. The Xbox doesn't have much this year (at least not announced yet) other than Kinect titles. Of course most gamers don't only play exclusives.

2) Both systems are about the same for Adventure, Open world games, and shooting games. The only real difference is the exclusives.

3) If you already have a 360, just buy a PS3 and have the best of both worlds.

4) You don't need to buy a Wi-fi adapter for either the Xbox or the PS3 as long as you buy a new version of the systems.

5) Capitalism by it's very principle is all about greed. He who has the most toys wins. Everything is about profit, Of course the same goes for Socialism in reality.

No he isn't, he's getting us to do it for him.

Technically, when you guys tell me, I read what you guys wrote (which is really helpful so far BTW) and am doing rersearch on the topic, and you guys don't ruin the forums with spasms. its like in school when you ask your teacher something did he/she ever say "go do the research yourself stupid kid." He may leave the stupid kid part out. So basically im asking you guys about your personal experiences with each system, even your vibes when u were unboxing it

I know, I was so dissapointed to find that there are no new exclusives for 2011, what is Microsoft doing, they dont give the gaming industry as big of an emphasis. Sony's lineup for 2011 is pretty impressive though

The 360 is the only place you'll be able to play the mass effect trillogy in full on a console. that would be huge for me... espicially since I can pick both ME1 and 2 up for 30 bucks combined at the moment. Also, I gotta be honest... PSN isnt XBL no matter how much people on this forum try to convince you otherwise. XBL is the place to be for online gaming bar none.

You do realize that any gamer with half a brain can see through these two comments right? gee I hope so. "I just got a 360 and im highly dissapointed because of no exclusives in 2011" hahaha... knee slapper. if you just "got" an x360 why arent you playing the hundreds of fantastic games already on the console ? you must be too depressed about future games... ugh, makes absolutely zero sense.

You are probably right, I should get a PS3 but I was sorta thinking about switching my 360 for a PS3 but i'll have to do more "research"

EDIT: I hate capitalism

spend a few bucks upgrade your pc and tough it out until the next console comes out which should be fall/winter 2012.

if you have waited this long i would just start socking away change and having a next gen fund ready.

honestly, you need to look at each system's line up of games and form your own opinion. you're not going to really get an objective answer on system wars. either way, both systems are very comparable, and I doubt you'll be dissapointed with either.

I have both for some time now. If I had to give up one I would give up the 360 because i enjoy the PS3 more. With the exclusives line up being released this year it will be a fun year. that's just my opinion
