what should i get a 360 or a ps3

i am planningon buying a new console system and i was wondering if i could get some help on what console to buy. i decided that i dont want the wii and that i want either the 360 or the ps3. which is better, and what one should i get? if it makes any difference i will be playing mostly shooter games and maybe a few racing games, but no sports games. please help.

yeah you have halo, gears and a whole lot of dlc. And then for racing you have forza ang pgr. So yeah 360

I would recommend a PS3.

360 gets pretty expensive when you factor in RROD, $100 for the online router thing (since it's not built in), and then your live subscription. Seriously, go to your local Best Buy, they have a bundle where you can get an 80GB PS3 with MGS4 and Killzone 2 for $400.

What games do you like? Have a good look at the existing games and future games and decide which one you want to play more.

If i had to pick between the two then i would say go for the 360 but dont listen to that. Go for the system you want to play more because of games.

I have both systems. but I prefer my xbox 360.

The reason I prefer xbox 360 is because of party chat and online play. A lot of my friends have xbox 360 so we can chat together while playing different games or play games together. I like my ps3 because I believe it has the better exclusives if your more into single player games and I enjoy using it as a blue-ray dvd player.

A big hook of the 360 is how good the online infrastructure is compared to the other consoles right? If you want any DLC, patches, downloadable games, etc. you will want Live. Games do not REQUIRE it, but you would only be limiting yourself for the things I listed above and on top of that, you would be stuck with local multiplayer for games like Halo or CoD, which sucks.

I say get a PC, if not... then get a 360.

You should get a PlayStation 3. It has excellent exclussives such as Game of the Year, Metal Gear Solid 4:Son of the Patriots. Also excellent exclussives such as Heavenly Sword, action adventure Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Shooters such as Resistance Fall of man, and Resitance 2 ofwhich you'll enjoy greatly if you are feeling bloodthirsty.PS3 also has the critically acclaimed Killzone 2, which is a fantastic experience and is hailed as the Console Graphic's King game of all consoles. It has amazing multiplayer and single player cmpaign that will keep you hooked 'till the end.

It has many more available exclussives such has platformer LittleBigPlanet thatcan be played and enjoyedby anyone. Third-Person and Action Adventure hit, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune thatrated T for teens,but it practically can be enjoed by almost anyone. It is 1 of the PS3's highly praised games because of its stunning graphics, and if you own a Plasma of HDTV,then you'll enjoy the bleeding edge ofgaming.

In the list is also, Ninja Gaiden Sigma,Naruto Ninja Storm, MotorStorm, GrandTurismo Prologue, SOCCOM Confrontation, MLB 09: the show, DBZ: Burst Limit, Tekken 5 Dark Resurection, inFAMOUS, Demon Souls

And upcomming games that you'll enjoy massively:

And if you could wait in buying, you should hold on oto it, since there have been countless rumors of not only in this site, but all the Internet about a PS3 slim & Pricecut. All that will be revealed on August the 16th that is Sony's press conference at Gamescon. Germany.

There all your question will be answered. But if you want to buy it now, You should go to BestBuy and buy the Killzone 2 and MGS4 bunddle for $399.

All 360 online games require a wifi-adapter and xbox-live subscription($60 per year or so)

Both have their fair share of shooters and racing games, whoever says the one console's library is betteris beingsubjective so there's not much I can say about that. 360's are cheaperbuy you have to pay $40 a year to play online (although the free feature allows you online, just certain things Gold members get over Silver) although it could be found cheaper than that on amazon. PS3's hardware is more reliable and has a 1-year warranty (unless you buy extra) while 360's do break much more ofter (not as much but still over 2%) they come with a 3 year warranty on the major issues from it's hardware. I personally would say 360 but I'd check out what each has to offer, both games now and in the future.

not everyone is lucky enough to have modem/router in the same room as their xbox360

if ur xbox360 is not near a modem/router then all games require wifi

360 might have great games, but my experience has not been that great. I'm on my 5th 360. I now have the Elite. If this has the rrod, I'm done w/ 360.

xbox 360

--- DONT WORRY ABOUT THE ONLINE ROUTER ---

all u need is a computer (mac or pc) and that ethernet cord that comes with ir 4 free--

let youtube handle the rest--

you CAN access your comp internet while you play if u somehow have a 3rd arm or sumtin.. if thats important
