Yeah, well, I feel like I've played all of the good games on 360, and I'm really only excited for Two Worlds, Bioshock, and Halo 3 since those are the only exclusive games. I'm thinking of selling it for the PS3, becuase it feels like the multiplatform games I want will be overall better on it. The PS3 has plenty of exclusive titles coming out that I want. I laready have a Wii which I love. Can you guys give me a hand?

yeah I really believe youown a 360. Only fanboy would think multiplatforms would be better on PS3 when all the evidence is to the contrary. see Madden 08 for just one example

All signs point towards multiplats being better on 360, at least for now and I'm never one who recommends trading in a system. If there really isn't much you're looking forward to though, PS3 is a great console and it's the follow up to two of the greatest game consoles of all time. If you can put the cash together by trading in your 360 and you don't think you'd want to re-buy that console is the future, I say go for it. Though I don't see how you could love the Wii and be disappointed in the 360, but whatever.

Bad idea, i'd say the same if you already had a ps3. wait and see ALWAYS because the worst you can do is trade in a console and regret it.

whatever floats your boat. PS3 does have some nice games coming out this fall. All I have to say is wait for the E3 price drop.

This is new, most topics here are about selling PS3 for a 360 or Wii.....

Oh well, your choice, hey if you don't want your 360, Can I have the HHD or MUs?

I say sell it after Christmas/New Year. Until then you can play Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyessy. Then after you sell it next year you can play Final Fantasy 13, Metal Gear 4, Lair, Heavenly Sword, God of War 3, etc.

Gaming tastes are subjective. Overall, the 360 is going to have a great lineup come this fall, but as for the specific titles, they don't cater to his taste. Does the 360 have games that can compare to LBP, Lair, Uncharted, and Heavenly Sword? Just like the ps3 doesn't have games comparable to Gears of War or Dead Rising.Maybe he's an MGS fan? Who knows, but he obviously prefers ps3 games.

Ok, i've said this about the ps3 and Wii already, but selling consoles is a bad idea. Especially when the console you're selling can still have plenty of surprises and news that you don't know about (FF13 on 360 FOR EXAMPLE :D)

And do you really like the way the ps3 is headed right now? I mean, sure the future might be good for it but you cant know that for sure. The ps3 is going to somehow need to improve console sales AND the profit of the consoles they sell. The 360, aside from hardware issues is the best console right now and will only get better.

Selling console = bad idea. Remember what happened to DS fans after the crappiest major launch ever? Later DS got many good games, so they went back to gamestop and went a few months without its games and gave the store a free 15% of the systems value. Buy a PS3 if you want, but i would suggest not selling the 360. Also note PS3's low sales figures. EDIT- I re-read your post, and saw the bit about the multiplats. Currently, quality is at around a tie in most peoples opinion. So i wouldn't spend a few hundred for the POSSIBILITY that multiplats will be better on PS3. Honestly, even then it will be such a tiny little differance.

Hollywood movie like graphics with so real they are 4d!! plus the online community you can share porn in there virtual "Home" is going to be awesome. Don't forget it can play blue ray movies Yah! and its only $600!!!!!!! Thanks Sony.

i feel the same way.

I keep having this feeling that my 360 is a ticking time bomb ready to have a hardware failure at any moment.

if ps3 gets it's price drop and new rumble tech at this years e3 I will sell my 360 for a ps3.

Considering that most of the multiplats have rated better on the 360 than ps3, good call.

so you woudld rather lose money on the the resale value of 360, rather than pay for extended warrenty, that makes no sense.

Now would be the best time to dump the 360 and pic up a PS3 because the fact that the Blue-Ray is not only a HD movie player but it's going over into the games that are coming out. Once this takes hold then the 360 will be replaced with yet another console with Blue-Ray and wifi just to keep up with the technology.

Also there is a huge number of games coming within the next few months for the PS3.
