It's got the better game lineup now forward and you can play online free for all in the house to have their own IDs, game saves, and trophies.

Better game line up:roll: what a great opinion. It doesn't matter what console I game on I like the COD series multiplat and GH/RB games also multiplat. Prefer GeoW series over anything PS3 is offering right now. That is about as far as my gaming goes so the 360 is the perfect console for anyone in my situation.

$199 to play great games can't beat it.

no it has a possible great future lineup, and it has only 1 game I want to play now. Also it still not $199 and it doesn't have any JRPG i want to play except VC.

KillZone 2 makes GeoW look like trash. Have fun playing the broken online of Gears 2.

I will playing GeoW 2 and COD:WAW will hold me over until COD:MW2 comes, and that will make the GeoW 2 community and KZ2 community non exsistent.

Don't bother. Game is still extremely flawed right now. Every other game you get standby'd because people wanta rank 4 or 5. Supposedly they are taking it out but haven't found a method yet.

I had one, but I got banned from their forums for suggesting it. It was to get rid of ranks, as standbying was never a problem in the first Gears. Any game with ranks is going to have standbyers because there are people who have nothing else to make themselves feel good besides a video game rank. Gotta love Epic.

Really your going to hype a baseball game, really. Baseball games have been the same since NES, boring. It's definatley a sport that I'd rather play than play a video game of. 162 game season, playing the same team 8 times I'm sure it looks pretty but it's baseball.

Time to buy a PS3 ? Sad it took you almost 3 years to raise enough money to buy one, even after 'price cuts'. Sony, you really need to do something about that price. It's killing potential buyers and your fan base.

If that's the case, you must not have played a baseball game since the NES days. MLB o9 The Show's demo was awesome and can't wait to get it today.

With $100 pricedrop, then it will be the time to buy one. Until then it's still overpriced, specially in the current financial crisis we are facing worldwide right now.

Vasichko
I haven't played my GeoW2 either because I've been playing Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Left 4 Dead and Fable 2 for the last 2 months. The PS3 only has one good JRPG and a couple of decent FPS. It terms of overall number of quality games on each system, the XBox 360 has the PS3 beat by a mile. A least 50% of the multiplats look and play better on the XBox 360. In any case, it's not a bad time to get a PS3 is you can afford it. I've had mine for just over a year now. Still works great. Started playing LBP, Hots Shots Golf 5 and Echocrome on it.

I love the PS3. I really do. But these threads come off as seriously desperate. If you have to convince someone to buy a PS3 then you've already lost.

No sry, theres still no reason for me to buy a PS3. All the games i want right now are Xbox exclusives or Multiplat so i won't be buying a PS3 anytime soon. I'll probably get one when it's cheaper and when GoW3 and FF13 are out, then i'll probably get one considering it isn't 400 euro (WTF?) anymore.

You have a current link. As there were talking about a price drop in March/April last year, but Sony said, No price drop in the Spring." Unless you have a link with the rumor coming from Sony themselves, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Better game line up is not a fact, in fact its not even much of an opinion , if you actually owned a 360 then you would know.

lemmings have their panty's in a bunch because halo wars scored low while kz2 ended up matching the hype. rocboys isn't even that important to convince....

y anyone would pay for online service and take a chance on rrod as their ONLY console baffles me...games are cool though...i'll give em that. wouldn't mind getting mass effect series and geow1 n 2 and maybe left 4 dead....other than that i'm content with my ps3....but ill be getting a 360 before summer just for those stupid exclusives (which are made by 3rd party....wtf is up with that? )

Xbox 360 does have the most exclusives, but lets see you even find more than half of them in stores still. It also had a year headstart. Take away the year and how much games ahead is it now? It is better online but you pay to play :).

Here's a current link.

Additionally, it wouldn't be a rumour if it came from Sony themselves. :P

I agree with you. With top-notch exclusives such as Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4 out right now, and games like God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, inFamous, and MAG coming out this year, Playstation 3 is an amazing system. Plus, the online is awesome.

It depends on where you are from to some extent as well. For example, the PlayStation 3 costs around €390 in Germany, but only around €308 in the UK. Both are EU countries. I used the prices found on Amazon.de and Ebuyer.com.

Last I checked the 360 has no perfect (according to GS) scores. Quality>Quantity. And what will you get from a 199 console? The most basic type of the console, which is some is a good thing and to others will make them crazy. No harddrive, no wi-fi, definitely no free online service. $199 is just the beginning of more drainage from the wallet.
