To buy PS3 120gb or Xbox 250gb slim thing

I decided to put this in here because then i can get both sides of story. Basically the general idea is PS3 has Blueray so shutdown. Anything else I need to consider not including exclusives (games)

I really wouldn't consider anything other then exclusive games as a reason for buying either one.

But I want best one out of them. I mean there are definintly other aspects to consider besides games. Like free online or theblueray thing

I cant comment on which is better as i don't have a 360 slim. I assume it has a quieter fan and quieter disc tray then the original 360s.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"]Xbox 360 is more for the online gamer with upcoming games like Halo Reach, Gears of War 3, and Crackdown 2. PS3 has more exclusive games with great single players, but not as great online/communities. PS3 has the Blu-ray player and the 360 has a huge library of instant-stream 1080p movies which is just as nice IMO. If you don't have a gaming PC, the 360 is fantastic also. Besides that, 95% of both game libraries are the same and you really can't go wrong with either. I greatly prefer the 360 controller over the dualshock, you may too.Santesyu

If Galaxy 2 can get a 10, then Reach has every reason in the world to get a 10. It will improve on Halo 3 just as Galaxy 2 did with Galaxy 1

your profile shows you already have a PS3.

i dun think and extra amount of gigs will do so much difference, i say go for the one with the better games from ur point of view.

i would choose the PS3 anyday over the x360.

I hardly ever notice people talking on XBL i assume everyone is in there own parties talking to there friends instead of in the game.

I'm getting an Xbox 360 S just because I can install my games onto the hard disk.

Free online and Blu-ray are "big deals" to me, but they may not be for everyone. Without any consideration given regarding the games or exclusives, I think you're still getting a better value with the PS3. The hard drive may be smaller, but it's easily swappable if you actually end up needing more space. You also get free Netflix, and some other miscellaneous things.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Santesyu"] biased, you aren't no more better online gamer rather you go with 360 or ps3,, halo reach, gears 3, I could say the same for socom 4, Killzone 3.. 360 and ps3 communites are about the same via online play the difference is one talks crap via mics and the other really doesn't. But consideirng you got halo reach as an AAAEE in your sig I am pretty sure my point wont get anywhere.Santesyu

It depends on the games you like and if you like to play Online with friends.

[QUOTE="Santesyu"][QUOTE="delta3074"]no, he's right, if you are a hardcore online gamer the 360 is the better choice, and even valve stated that the 360's online community was 'head and shoulders' above the rest, the online community on Ps3 is not equal to the community on the 360, not by a long chalk mate, there are always mnay more players on XBL than PSN,360 is the best for online, Ps3 is best for the offline single player campaigns.delta3074

Get an OnLive. Now you're set.ZippySlappy

This is not worth mentioning, it's not even a gaming system. In My Humble Opinion

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Santesyu"] Oh snap my bad I didn't know Opinion=Fact, this is system wars I forgot. Santesyu

New Xbox 360. Better look and value. More games = More fun. Plus better online, controller, blah, blah, blah.

I would say go for the PS3 120 GB. The range of exclusives offered for that console is bigger (ranging from platformers like LittleBigPlanet to shooters like Killzone 2) and the online is free (wherelse live costs $50 per year). As about the harddrive, you could easily upgrade to a 500GB harddrive for less than $70 bucks :P I also prefer the controller....coz I'm a girl gamer so my hands are smaller and the DS3 fits just fine :)

This is all in my opinion though and may be abit biased :P

Multiplatform games run better on the Xbox 360 in about every case. I would say it's a 20:1 ratio or more.

Overall Xbox 360 library is huge as oppossed to third place PS3.

Live costs less then $50 a year. I know because I actually pay it. But to get the same features as Xbox Live Sony will be charging for PSN so either way you are going to be paying.

250gb > 120gb (the extra to "upgrade" on the PS3 could be used towards Xbox Live and a game.)

360 exclusives > PS3 exclusives

Xbox Live > PSN

• More features on Xbox Live
• Bigger communities (ex) Launch titles are still being played on Xbox Live while Uncharted 2 gets about the same as Halo 2 on the PC.

Xbox 360 controller > PS3 controller

Social apps on the 360 are better.

PS3 is in last place for a good reason. Don't make the same mistake like I did and waste money on a Blu-ray player classified as a gaming machine.

your profile shows you already have a PS3.

Yeah, TC is probs a troll.

But I want best one out of them. I mean there are definintly other aspects to consider besides games. Like free online or theblueray thing

CurryMcFlurry

What the f***!?!?

I feel so old. I remember looking at a SNES and Genesis and thinking "Which one has the games that I'll want" and not "Man, I wonder if this thing can cure AIDs or make my breakfast"

When did games become irrelevant to gaming? There needs to be a name change.

Trying to use System Wars for advice on which system to get is like __________________________________. (Someone fill in the blank I can't think of anything)

Not my account but I feel by reading thesecomments that, with Ps3 having blue ray and3D being made by SonythePs3 as a produt has more potential as made by an innovative company. Also through research PS3 exclusives look alot more diverse like LBP to GOW3 to GT5.Now through otherresearch the Ps3 cell cpu, once utilised by developers willovertake 360 ingraphics department so I will be getting new Ps3. Also hear it is more reliable. :)

match player amounts are based upon dedicated servers not the service. there are dedicated server games on ps3 and 360. If a developer makes a game that needs dedicated servers then it could go on either service.

The PS3 does everything.

You can even upgrade the hard drive if you wanted.

Blu-ray capabilities.

FREE online gaming.

I believe you will get more use out of a PS3 than a 360 any day. PS3 also has a trophy system which is pretty cool. it tells you what percentage of the game is completed.

Xbox 360 now has WiFi. and a bigger hard drive. And supposedly randomly shuts off in the middle of gameplay.

I own both a 360 & PS3 and personally, my PS3 gets alot more use. The 360 has some cool games though like Left 4 Dead 2, GOW 2, Halo 3, & Bully Scholarship edition.

I really wouldn't consider anything other then exclusive games as a reason for buying either one.

Blu-ray is definitely nice. Not just for the 1080p movie, which can be streamed, but for the superior sound quality, which is what really uses the bulk of the extra space.

I have gone, and would go again, with ps3. Every year I feel that the ps3 is getting better, while the 360 has kind of "plateaued" for now. It can get better, and if it does I may take the plunge on one again. Until then, however, I'm looking forward to some interesting games coming out over the next couple years on ps3.

Get a PS3 because the new slim design on the 360 is way ugly. There really isn't a reason you should get one over the other because they are both equally lacking in exclusives and are both equally expensive. A $400 console + 3 $60 games is going to be $600. Add a $500 HDTV and you could have got a great gaming PC with monitor with a resolution higher than many HDTVs and a ton of awesome games (i just bought like 10 games for about $20).

Really, The PS3 has the better exclusives, even if there aren't that many.

Stevo_the_gamer

Why wouldn't you? Thats what makes the system unique. You aren't going to compare systems based on games they both have are you?
