Well I own a PS3, and I'm really disillusioned with it. I was wandering if it's too late in thegeneration to get a 360? Like, I had an xbox and played Halo 1 and 2 but never played the online because of the lack of wireless back then. The reason i mention this is that Halo is 360's flagship game and if I don't enjoy it I don'y know if I should sell my Ps3 and games to get a 360. My friend told me the players on halo 3 are no longer human which makes me a little worried about entry level.....hehe

Well first of all, you should never sell any gaming console to get another. More often then not--people usually end up regretting that decision. I didn't even sell mine towards another and i'm still regretting that mistake--it took me 5 times selling my consoles to actually realize I was insa.....well making the wrong choice.

But if you have to go through with it--then no, it's not too late to get an Xbox 360 at all. Are they any other games you wanted other then Halo to at least justify getting one? Also, the only non-human players in gaming are PC gamers--so don't worry too much about that.

It's never too late to get into a console ... I'm thinking of picking up a PS2 someday soon BUT you should NEVER, EVER, sell a console for another console.

Well I suppose I would get all the hits like Gears of War, Fable 2(is the first on available to download?), and Mass Effect. Plus, I'm a huge CoD fan and MW2 is pretty mch treated as a 360 exclusive. I tried all PS3s "hits" and only Infamous really did it for me. Infact, all my favorite games for PS3 are available for 360 and probably better I assume.....

This thread is peppered with lies and trickery...AND GARNISHED WITH DECEIT!:evil:

Oh well, if you must trespass to the "dark side" :P , hang onto your PS3 as well. Both consoles have some good potentially AAA games coming out next year. To have only one when you could have both would be a travesty.

Indeed, dont sell one console to buy another (unless its a Wii, but even then we have the new super mario bros game which looks sweet) save up and just buy a 360. I would normally say its onyl worth selling a console to buy a decent pc, but having come home to pc gaming recently Im distgusted by the amount of effort I need to put in to prove I own the game I just went out and paid for :evil:.

So, you are asking to sell your PS3 for a 360 to play the multiplatform game, MW2, because you think MW2 is somehow treated as a 360 exclusive?:shock::?

Plus you'd sell your PS3 to gain a 360 to play multiplats that you can play right now on your PS3?:|

That's pretty sound logic, so go for it!8)

Welcome to the forums btw.:)

Nice account you got there.;) 80 posts already? Where does the time go?:P

I have been watching this show TV show, SLIDERS recently, and there was an episode where they went to a parallel dimension, and what you heard about the PS3 was the entire premise of the episode! There were PS3's getting burnt out after a year, 360's that lasted forever, and menacing alien-cyborg-elephants with human brains that worked for Joseph Stalin's grandson! It was sweet.

Remember that part with the flying razor sprinkled donuts? Great lulz on that part, but they got out of there just in time!

Did you see that episode while you were drowsy, and mix it up with reality?:P I've done that! lol, except imagine that plus I forget to take my medicine! Man, funny things can happen with sleep deprivation!:P

Not sound logic, eh? Well the way I looked at it was why keep a system for multiplats only when I could get a different system with the better versions of said multiplats AND better exclusives. Oh, and please tell me you are kidding about the "welcome to boards, 80 posts" act. I mean, that would REALLY be offensive. I should definately try to spend more time on the computer posting threads and posts on a videogames site. Such a better use of my time then studying for college and other trivial things.............................:roll:

No, I said it's pretty sound logic, so go for it! Not the opposite, that's silly!That is what college is for, I guess (I never went :oops: ).

Well, in between classes, don't forget to post those sweet sale pics! It would make for some great SW drama!:)

Keep studying in college too, that may help you out with your future endevours involving the sales of consoles!:P I hear there is all kinds of fancy books at them thar college's, and those same books could probably help do a good job with information.

You are so right about those multiplats, that's why I said, sell away!:)

----------

Also, seriously, welcome! Nice to see a new face, Chazfivethreeonethreetwo!:) (I think your last name looks more fancy spelled out, but I never went to no college, so pardon the fanciness.)

Good luck with your choice, whatever it may be.:)

If you have only played games on the PS3, there are tons of great 360 and 360/PC games out there that you can enjoy.

So no, it's never too late.

Seeing as this generation is going to last for some years to come, it is definitely not too late to get a 360. However, do not sell your PS3. It is being flooded with stellar games right now and more are to come

It sounds like the TC's mind is already made up. You are going to do what you want but this is a terrible idea in my opinion and days before Uncharted 2? I think personally it is way to late in the XBOX 360's life to start over with one. Again do what you want just prepare yourself knowing you will want a PS3 back in 6 months.

If you need to buy the wifi adaptor it's not worth it imo, you need to pay for that and for Live, and the Halo community has seen better days. And yes you will get crushed lol. If you do go for it, don't get Halo 3 get ODST. I wouldn't sell your PS3 though, I really think you'll regret that. If money isn't a problem it's well worth it, if money is a prob, I'd wait for some sort of deal or something, maybe a wifi 360 sku with a year free of live? :P

Now is a great time to get a 360! The price just went down, failure rates on new models are down (finally!) and since this console generation will probably last us 'til Armageddon, you don't have to worry about it being replaced by a new model for a few years to come. Come to think of it, now's a great time to get a PS3 too (although you already have one). I'd hang on to that if I were you. There are a lot of multi-plat games that make the PS3/360 differences not matter so much, but there's enough really great exclusives on both consoles nowadays that it pays to own both.

Meh let him sell it he seems like he already made up his mind. Besides its the only way you learn, I sold my gamecube before i found out resident evil 4 and the remakes were coming out so i had to buy it back etc. If he see's something for the ps3 and has to buy a ps3 again at least this way he learns in the long run.

The system has a well-established library of games,which took some time,so I don't see how it could be "too late" to get the system.Make the purchase,if it really interests you.

I decidied to keep it. Every once in a while(usually when I havn't played a good game for quite some time) I get all spastic on wanting to sell my PS3. It's kinda like mood swings butwith electronicslol I loved Uncharted 1, probably one of my favorite games ever, so I'll be getting the second one. Only thing is, I live in college dorms and I can't get me PS3 connected so I don't know if there has been any system/game updates......has there?

There's always tons of noobs online in Halo 3. Don't worry about it. You may run into a guy with a second account now and then who will rape the hell out of you and your squad single handidly but just don't let it bother you.

Well I own a PS3, and I'm really disillusioned with it. I was wandering if it's too late in thegeneration to get a 360? Like, I had an xbox and played Halo 1 and 2 but never played the online because of the lack of wireless back then. The reason i mention this is that Halo is 360's flagship game and if I don't enjoy it I don'y know if I should sell my Ps3 and games to get a 360. My friend told me the players on halo 3 are no longer human which makes me a little worried about entry level.....hehe

I don't like Halo, yet the Xbox 360 is my most used console. Never too late, but I'd never sell my PS3 for it if I was you.
