I'm looking at buying either a PS3 or a 360 soon and I can't decide.

I'm adding a poll, whichever console comes out on top I will buy in a couple of weeks. Please post why you voted the way you did, thank you.

You know you are basing your decision on who has the biggest fanbase in SW.

If you have PC - than ps3 or wii

If you dont have pc - than x360

But it would be fine to upgrade pc with 150$ 8800 GT and buy cheaper console

Well, the conclusion I come to may very well be because of that, however, there may be people who own both consoles that have some input.

Couldn't you have just used the forum's search feature instead of posting a topic that is posted at least 5 times per day?farrell2k

I didn't see the same thread posted here today, so I decided to post it. If you're so opposed to this topic then you really didn't need to post in it.

i was in the same boat as u last year. i picked ps3 because of future games and it was the safer system. this year if i had to do it over again. i would go with 360. because 1 rrod is gone in the newer 360 systems 2. they have gotten the games that was hyped. plus im still waiting on the future games and watching 30 dollar blue-ray movies. i have gamefly and it is so hard to find a ps3 game i want to rent. meanwhile the 360 gets a good game every month.

The MGS4 PS3 bundle is the best deal in gaming at the moment. You get a very powerfull and reliable piece of hardware with arguably the best game of the generation.

360 IMO, best value by miles

Has JRPG's like FF13, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undisocvery, Mistwalker games, has WRPG's that other consoles totally miss, like Fable 2, Too Human, Venetica, Divinity 2 etc, Halo Wars, Banjo 3, Viva Pinata 2, Alan Wake and generally the very best of games this gen, and covers all genres perfectly

So, 360 for the games, and the avalance of titles this holiday, no waiting involved to play the best games

This is coming from a guy who has both so get urself a PS3 cause u get the full gaming experience. When u buy a 360, before u know it ur putting another 100 to 200 bucks to get other stuff like the hardrive and stuff, no bluetooth support, really dissapointing. PS3 also has the best library of games, and some of the major ones are hitting this holiday as opposed to 360 wuth just Gears 2 and Fable 2.

I wouldn't base your decision of a poll. Just make a list or something of games that interest you on both systems and whichever has the most, go for that system. Might want to do a bit of research though, because if you miss a few games, buy the other console andthen find out baout these games and prefer them, you'll be kicking yourself. You might want to think about other things too though such as, Xbox360 have a lot of expensive accessories you'll need if you want to play online and Ps3 is more of a future investment, though Ps3 has many good games now and 360 does have better online functionality.

You should get the 360. I can guarantee 100% that you will be satisfied with your purchase. If system wars bets was still around, I'd even take a bet on that. Go to gametrailers look at the lists of games, you will see that the 360 has a great selection of titles. Also FYI about the poll, if you look in past threads, you will see many of these questions all with different answers and poll results. This is not a reliable source to choose a console.
