Never thought i would say this but, the 360 is really flexing its arms with games rite now. Mass Effect 2, very underrated on gamespot imo. also saw a few gameplays of halo reach and wow. halo reach is really getting my interest rite now. i never liked the theme of halo and its colorful childish looks, but reach looks to be more serious and gritty then ever before. also a hint that showed that reach will now have a run botton which is needed for fps imo. the graphics looks real good too.

i really dont know what to do rite now. i need games that will last me a long time, and i just dont feel that sony is delivering rite now. games like heavy rain, GOW3, uncharted 2 sure is quality games but not a very long lasting games.

i think im going to wait till E3. games that will convince me to keep my ps3 are

1. SOCOM 4
2. killzone 3
3. some ground breakin new ip

if i dont see anyone of those then i WILL trade for a 360.

1 game to seal the cake is gears of war 3.

a few questions tho...

is the RROD issue kinda fixed? also how is the costumer service for M$? how much $$$ year is for online?

oh and, whats happening with the banning of moded 360's rite now? is it still happening? will it stop soon? not that i was thinkin of moddin tho8) lol

Why? between now and E3 you could save plenty of money and get a 360. Never understood why people sold their consoles, and this is coming from a college student.

Just buy a 360 dude, its only 200 bucks for the arcade, then get a HDD from MS site for cheap, or on ebay for cheap.

don't sell your Ps3, just try saving enough money for a 360. The RRoD is down to like 5-3% now its pretty low now so go with my blessing, yeah and the scans are still oin on, if you buy it I look forward to playing you online :) Oh and BTW if you wanna ensure you get a Jasper chipset just look at the output wattage on the box anything under 150W is Jasper I'm not sure if there is lower but if there is get the lowest, the lower it is the less heat it produces and the lower chance Of RRoD.

Mass Effect 2, very underrated on gamespot imo.

Revolution316

lol wut?

it is kind of underrated. 96 on metacritic. with a alot more replyability then uncharted 2. if U2 is a 95 then ME should be 95 also. just saying

lot's of replayability? All the endings are practically the same FFS. If you play the game through once and get the good ending, there's not much else to do other than with class experimentation

[spoiler] for example, the ending. You blow up the final ship, the illusive man isn't impressed, then the reapers are coming. You save the last ship, illusive man is impressed, the reapers are still coming. You lose your entire time and get the bad ending, it's okay, jokers standing there watching the reapers come in. Where's the variety?

Sidequests, another example, all the same thing. Your shipmate wants to find someone they used to know. Once you find them, what!? they aren't the person you remember? Then you decide if your shipmate kills the person you've been searching for this entire time. [/spoiler]

there's very-to-little planet exploration. The game is A LOT more 'on-rails' than with ME1. All you can do now is scan planets, and a few of them you can actually land on, but it tends to be nothing more than 1 room. I think it, along with uncharted 2 got the scores they deserved. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Mass Effect 2, I just don't think it deserved anything over a 9.0 which is already a good score. I don't think ME2 is underrated, but I do think UC2 may be overrated. 9.0s for both prob.

If you can keep it than keep it but if not and i was in your shoes id rather a 360 right now over a ps3. I mean ME2 is by far the best game this year and might be GOTY and halo reach is already generating buzz for GOTY and its months away from release. You also have alwan wake and metro 2033 both games showing the graphical beast that is the 360. If your hand is forced do what you gotta dobigboss5ak

They're all shooter lol. Seriously you hyping metro 2033?

Guys, don't waste your breath here, I can tell TC is pretty much dead set on trading his PS3 for a Xbox360, he already included his reasons why. TC go ahead do it, just don't come back crying when your used X360 from your friend RROD or when KZ3/socom4 announced.

Good thing I like bland games then. With the way certain fanboys act here, I honestly doubt that any of the two communities are any more mature.

1 game to seal the cake is gears of war 3.

a few questions tho...

is the RROD issue kinda fixed? also how is the costumer service for M$? how much $$$ year is for online?

oh and, whats happening with the banning of moded 360's rite now? is it still happening? will it stop soon? not that i was thinkin of moddin tho8) lol

Havent had RROD in 2 years now with the new hardware. Also, MS customer support is fine, they will replace the 360 without question for the first 3 years. Xbox live is free for silver, but for Gold its about $4.66 (thats canadian) per month. Less than the price of a starbucks coffee.
