should i buy a ps3?..

been seriusly thinking of buying a ps3/xbox 360....I have have been thinking that if i do buy a next gen console it should be a ps3 cus of free online and no rrod..the problem is that there are barely any exclusives that i want..and it toke me an hour to search gamesot for 8 games that i wonna get for it..so should i buy a ps3 or wait for awhile for a few more games to come out (and mybe a price drop)..or mybe i should get a 360 after all cus i like it's exclusives?... i'm on holiday now and really wonna spend it with some next gen games...whats your advice?

Give us a list of what you want to play for each right now , and what you think you will be playing as far as future releases that you know of.

no. don't buy it. buy a wii. that's the way to go.dkhw

sorry the wii is not my type of console

oh ok. then, it seems like you are more fond of the 360.

Don't listen to this guy. HE is probably bitter he wasted $250 on a Wii.

if i buy a ps3 i'll probably be playing (i'm only naming exclusives): uncharted, mgs 4, resistance 2 and resident evil 4

if i'll buy a 360 i'll probably be playing (again only naming exclusives): gears of war 2, halo 3, dead rising, crackdown (which is a better list then the ps3 list in my opinion)..but the 360 as a very high failure rate, scratches discs and has the rrod...+i have to pay for xbl...

I don't think those things happen any more and the 360 list you provided imo is a lot better. I am sure RE4 is on the 360 also. Jamex1987

ps3 come on who buys a ps3 these days. reply and tell me what consoles you have had in the past a ps3 is a big rip-off. xbox 360 is with miscrosoft one of biggest companies in the world and lucky you because there getting cheaper xbox 360 has changed the gaming world the same way as ps2 changed it and still is reply to this....

360 may look better now but many people expect ps3 to surpass the xbox 360 in popularity and quality of games before the end of this console race.evsondey

he said he wants to game, not wait.

I agree here, the 360 no longer has FPSs on lockdown. If you have an HDTV and are interested in Bluray movies, you have to give serious thought to that aspect, too.

360 may look better now but many people expect ps3 to surpass the xbox 360 in popularity and quality of games before the end of this console race.evsondey

Popularity (as in sales), yeah, I'd agree with you. But quality of games? Who are these "most people?" I think I need a link for a claim like that.

the 360 is pretty cheap and has a large and diverse game library. XBL is $50 a year, most people probably lose that in change and pulling bills out of their pockets over a year, so may as well put it into that. which according to many ppl is better than psn.

I am waiting to buy a ps3, if i bother at all, for the same reason that there aren't really any games that interest me enough to warrant buying it. so i would pick up a 360 now and wait on the ps3 until it has more games that appeal to you.

i've never had a disc scratched and the rrod is possible but isn't as high as you think, also a three year warranty and a two week wait fixes that problem in my eyes.

If you're leaving a trail of bills behind you like Hanzel & Gretyl laying a breadcrumb trail through the forest, I'd say two things:

1) Tell me where you live so I can follow behind you and leach off you like a sucker-fish on a whale

2) You might want to think about investing in a wallet instead of XBL

Look don't get PS3...it's exclusives are crappy. Don't be worried about RROD because the only reason you get it is because the console uses its full power and you use it like crazy..unlike PS3 which doesn't even turn on. But no don't even worry about RROD you are almost guaranteed to not have RROD for a year with these new xboxs...as soon as the hdmi was put on them those line of 360's were a lot better and now they've added so much stuff that RROD is really rare now. And you think people don't have problems on ps3? they put out updates that crash peoples systems, they also get a yellow light of death which a lot of people have had. BELIEVE ME GET 360, this comes from someone who bought a PS3 played MGS and sold back the PS3 a couple weeks later, it doesn't compare to 360 as a gaming system. The thing is you get a crappy internet browser and a bluray player. If you want a game console-360-bluray player-ps3. The exclusives for PS3 come out so far apart and have no variety in the games, all the PS3 exclusives coming out and that are out is shooters, aside from maybe uncharted n ratchet but those are old now. So many games coming out for 360 with variety, banjo, fable, gears to name a few,. and theres no game coming close to gears. And you get a far superior online experience PS3's is wack, everything about it, look at the 360 update they're coming with this fall too...you get your friends list and everything can listen to music on your xbox while in a game send chats send messages. PS3 is really weak and it's for people who don't really play games. 360 is for gamers....believe me....

i had a friend of mine who would always defend ps3 to me even though he never played his and he's like nah i'm just waiting for final fantasy or waiting for this game. Well all you do is wait for a game that isn't even as good as what 360 has as soon as they announce ff13 on 360 he was pissed because thats all the ps3 was gonna be good for to him so he sold it, ha i told him final fantasy woulf be on 360. And believe me free online on PS3 doesn't mean anything..the 50 a year is far more worth it for what you get on 360 online...trust me i've had both and i know.

All ps3 exclusives are shooters pretty much...the online isnt as good and the controller on 360 is a lot better, especially for shooters, so who would rather play some crappy resistance or killzone online on ps3 over playing call of duty or gears on 360? ESPECIALLY since people on ps3 will be probably playing COD over killzone and resistance anyway.

Think of how the 360 controller is better and how the sticks are lined up better on different planes. GET 360 PS3 is junk.

to juana maybe he wants a ps3 because of the upcoming exclusives but theyre not "crappy" that might be your opinion it depends if he plays online much and how many friends have each console and which present and upcoming exclusives he wants.SH4D0W_ASSASSIN

ok maybe they're arent complete crap but i don't think they compare with what 360 will be putting out...and what upcoming exclusives are you talking about anyway? because if you want ps3 exclusives over 360's you must be smoking something. All the ps3 exclusives coming out which is like 3 games? is Socom, Resistance, Killzone, they're all shooters and are not unique at all.

Gears of war2, fable 2, banjo, and all the exclusive RPG's now that's variety with great games. No game comes close to gears of war and it's a game very unique to itself. The Ps3 exclusives are all shooters and all similar, i'm sure they won't be as good as Call of Duty and a lot of other shooters either...and i'm sure PS3 users will choose COD over Killzone, Socom, or Resistance...

It's all opinions. I'm getting Resistance 2, Valkyrie Chronicles, Little Big Planet, and Disgaea 3. Don't say all PS3 has are shooters.

In my opinion, 360 is the best stand alone console and since you haven't had one there are tons of Great games launched a year or two ago that can be picked up for pennies on the dollar.

Some lower cost great games:

Condemned

Crackdown

Kameo

Dead Rising

PGR4

Forza 2

Mass Effect

Halo's :)

Gears

Then with Too Human in a few weeks and Fable 2, Banjo N&B & Gears 2 in a few months. :D

Just some thoughts.

Then the 360 would be best for you. More used games and cheaper games than the PS3. There is very few PS3 games under $30 used, there is quite a lot of 360 games for that price.

I am buying a 360 today. The PS3 doesn't seem interesting.Jamex1987

Your loss. Both are freaking sweet.

ok right;

Got a really high end PC? then do what the hell you want, its basically down to prefence in that case.

not got a high end pc? then get a 360, it just has the better selection of games

Want a blue-ray player and a console? get a ps3.

both are reasonable choices and both get good multiplats.
