PS3 Owners, Would you have bought the 360 if it had free online?

I would have.. the only PS3 exclusive that interested me was LBP but now its going to be full of anti-Islamic levels so its off my list..

I definitely would have bought the 360 if it wasnt for the $60 per year for online.

Would other have done the same?

Yeah.

But I bought them both at the same time. :)

I will get a 360 by dec just to play fable 2 and some other rpgs

online games will go to my ps3

Only if it was RROD proof and could connect to a xbox handheld :P. Plus I like the PS3s exclusives slightly better.

I have a PS3 and a Wii. I just bought a 360 Pro today. While some of the exclusives are great, I find the 360 as a system quite lacking. First, of course is the online issue. But also, no one really talks about all the extra stuff you have to buy for the 360 that is packed with the PS3. It just blows my mind that Microsoft did not include wireless capability in any of their console version when it is included even in the Wii, PS3 and even the portable systems. To have to pay 100 bucks for the adapter is ridiculous. The charger is a minor issue, but it's still annoying that you have to buy either rechargeable batteries for the controller or the charger. Other minor annoyances include the fact that the system is loud--much louder than the PS3 and even the Wii.And then there's the general reliability of the console. I'm crossing my fingers that the console won't fail, but only time will tell. I don't have those worries with the PS3 and Wii.

Despite these complaints, I'm still qutie happy with the purchase. The 360 exclusives to me are worth the buy. I'm playing Gears of War right now and it's a pretty good game. But most of my hard-core gaming will still be on the PS3, especially games that appear on both systems. I still play the Wii (Secret of Mana, Mega Man 9, Zack and Wiki, Wii Fit, MKWii, Brawl and other Nintendo exclusives) surprisingly and am actually looking forward to future first party releases from Nintendo.

And miss Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Resistance 2, God of War 3, Gran Turismo, White Knight Chronicles, Infamous, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Heavy Rain? No thanks.-Renegade

No LBP, No Uncharted? and you mention games like resistance 1(I hear 2 is good) and heavenly sword(alright)

Different strokes for different folks, I guess :)

With my gaming styIe, I wouldn't have lasted long without a 360, and I still can't survive without it in spite of my new PC.

Be warned, though-there'll probably be a few people listing 360 exclusives PC/360 restricted multiplats in response to your post.

On the flipside to this you are missing 360 exclusives.

Not a big shooter fan, and don't really care for anything on the 360 besides dead rising

I will get gears just probably not till 2009

It would then have the price advantage for me , but I don't think I could have done without MGS4 and God of War III , plus other action acventure games and shooters/online combat. LBP is just a nice unexpected bonus.

Nah. I do not want to buy another system and my brother has a Wii. I do eventually want to get a new PC though.

I would like to try the Fable games, Too Human(tried it at Gamestop but I assumed that was just a crappy build), and a few others...but I will not buy one. Maybe I can find someone to loan me a system for a month.

No The whole game of too human is the crappy build

Fable is cool tho, but a wii is only a good secondary console

Fable will probably come to pc eventually early 2009

That is why I bought a PS3:).

Nope. Not interested in Halo/Gears of War/latest generic Xbox shooter. COD4 on PS3 and my FPS fix is good. +RROD and other reliability issues i'd rather avoid

I own both, But I would of bought the ps3 still if I had to choose oneAll_that_is_Man

Your amount of Fanboy leads me to believe you dont have an Xbox360 at all.

Question, how would you go about exiting a game on the Xbox 360. Exiting to dashboard.

WHAT ? ANTI ISLAMIC LEVELS ? LOL ...what are you 12 ? Still believe in santa ? Stop using your daddys computer.

I would have picked one up by now if 360 had free online. PSN is just too good and too reliable for me to accept paying 60 bucks a year just to play online. Heck, I like to spend that much just purchasing games, movies, DLC, etc. To think I'd have to pay just that to even have the chance to pay for the aforementioned products is insane to me. I know Live has some really cool features--cross game chat for one--but the extras just aren't worth paying for...to me at least.

So yeah, if Live was free then I'd probably pick up a 360. As is, I think I'm going to have just one console this gen and see what MS does for the next Xbox.

Hmm...

I'm not hardcore gamer, I do not play games every day, I do not buy games vary often ( I buy 1 game every 2-3 months ), I do not care about exclusives.

I bought PS3 cause it has everything in one box ( wi-fi, bluray, card slots...)

I do not need another console for occasional playing.

But to answer your question if I do not have PS3, X360 had free online and RROD is history I would buy it.

I can get over bluray.

I think that's one reason why some got a PS3 instead of a 360 because they're allergic for paying for things.

...

So no levels that offend millions = no buy?

Is this a joke? please say yes... :(

i find the whole "i wont get a 360 because i have to pay for online" very lame indeed. why? because its only £35 a year thats less then £1 a week can some of you really not efford £35 a year to pay for xbl??!?!

the 360 is about £100-150 now if you like the games buy it. such a low price for HD gaming is awesome really.

the only valid one i see is if there scared of getting RROD incase they have to pay for a repair down the road. (after warranty runs out) But with the newer machines they are less prone to getting it now arnt they.

Maybe... though I don't have a HD tv so it would probably look like ass on my television anyway :)
