I hate exclusives...Why can't we all be friends. I'm torn.

Mass Effect or MGS4 (im a die hard mgsfan)

Fable 2 (I loved xbox fable) or Heavenly Sword

Gears of War or God of War 3

Man the only reason PS3 is even in the question is because of MGS4. I got a PSP JUST for for mgs portable ops and mpo+. I love MGS and MGS4 looks too freaken crazy...but is itso good that I want to pass up something so epic like Mass Effect and my second favourite RPG of all time - Fable. Not to mention, any chance of a KotOR 3, it will be 360 exclusive (on account of the first 2, which are my favourite RPGs of ALL TIME were exclusive to MS).

Sony should be very glad that MGS didn't go multiplat. It would have dented the PS3, possibly beyond repair. I have a childhood attachment to MGS that I don't think I can give up, and I can't possibly afford 4 systems..(PSP, Wii, I already have, Im deciding between 360/PS3)

What would you guys do.......

Thank jeebus that Assassin's Creed is multiplat.

As an added factor, here in Canada (eh?) a 360 premium is $449, a PS3 atm is $399 (packed in with Spiderman 3Blueray Package).

What to do, what to do.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Well, what I'm doing is choosing one system that I will play for most of this gen, and then I'll try and buy the other 2 later on when they're much cheaper to play unplayed titles.

Getting the PS3 cause just like you I love my MGS (plus, PS3 has a lot more titles I'm interested in) and then later on (if I can't borrow a mate's Wii or 360) I'll buy the systems and play older titles, they'll all be cheap in a couple of years.

That sounds like a good plan but it's gonna suck watching lemmings go nuts over their awesome exclusives. Well now that I think about it..the 360 being such an unstable console pushes me further toward a PS3...

Fanboys of their systems will always go nuts for exclusive titles, like we're seeing now for Uncharted/SMG/Mass Effect, so it just comes down to which system has more games you wanna play.

360 has the hardware problems, PS3 is still pretty expensive with little compelling software, tough decision. I personally want the PS3 next year around MGSIV's or GTAIV's release (hoping for a bundle deal here in AU).

I live in Canada, and there are stores that sell the premium at the updated canadaian:us dollar price.. I think futureshop updated their prices. So get the xbox 360. Also mine has never died on me, and if yours does die, it will just be a free replacement from microsoft, but if your ps3 breaks your SOL. Also if your buying now get one that was produced recently so you get the new chips and stuff in it.. Plus i've never seen whats so great about MGS it never looked very good to me...

Get a PS3. Here's why:

Halo: started on Xbox. Came to the PC.

Halo 2: started on Xbox. Came to the PC.

Fable: started on Xbox. Came to the PC with extra stuff!

Gears of War: started on Xbox 360, just came out on PC, with extra stuff!

KOTOR: started on the Xbox, came to the PC.

Do you see a pattern here? If you wait long enough, Halo 3, Fable 2, and Mass Effect WILL be on the PC. It may take a few years but it will happen. Every game previous in series came to the PC, so it's pretty much a given these will too. Just be patient. Think a few years is too long? Don't worry! You have your PS3 + MGS4. Heck if it's a few years in porting to the PC, you might even get to play MGS5 too...

Hey now, I got an Xbox 360 just for Halo 3 and I felt I made an excellent investment. Not only do I get play Halo 3, I get to later play Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, ten kinds of awesome games on it as well. It's not stupid as long as you look ahead. If MGS series is the only series on PS3 you like then it's stupid, but you mentioned more than just MGS, so you're good. No matter which console you get you're covered.

No, I traded in my PS2, but that was a big mistake...I feel like playing sons of liberty again and I actually never got a chance to play god of war 2.

Wait is the 60 gig 500 in the states? does anyone know the canadian price? ( even though it SHOULD be cheaper here in canada because of the rising $cdn...)

Buy a 360 this year and a PS3 next year. There's no good reason to buy a PS3 over a 360 this year.
