What's the point of having both a PS3 AND an Xbox 360?

[QUOTE="abonsabo"]

Nearly every single multiplat is better on the 360

and some of the best ones are unplayable on PS3

No point in owning a PS3.

fixed :P

One I use for games, the other I use for Blu-ray. :)

Because all my mates play Xbox live but I don't miss out on games likeUncharted, Resistance, Killzone, Metal Gear, God Of War, Little Big Planet, GT5, Heavy Rain and others... Its also best to get Wii & PC too

Gotta catch em all!!!!

[QUOTE="RACiEP"] Ahhh...so are you like one of those extreme couponers like on that show on TLC? I would love to have the patience and skill for that sort of thing.Greyfeld

haha sort of, except not that hardcore, its easier with gaming because youre only focusing on one thing :P

Give up Gears , my Cave shmups , Halo , Alan Wake , XBLA , Skyrim (lol) , Uncharted , Killzone , Ratchet , You Crazy ?

Poverty gaming , there's no excuse this late in the gen.

I have a Wii but it is collecting dust for a long time now so you can have that .

To flaunt my overabundance of disposable income, of course.

...oh no, wait, that's why I built a gaming PC.

Because a true gamer doesn't fanboy and appreciates all systems and wants to play all the exclusives.wolfbm

better to have a pc/360/wii imo

Actually I never thought of doing that, but will definitely start thinking stuff up and come up with something after finals and such are over!WreckEm711

You, sir, are going to be my new best friend :D

I understand owning a PS3 + Wii or a 360 + Wii, as the majority of Wii games do not come on PS3/360 (and vice versa).

However, I see many of you on here have both. Why so? The majority of games for the PS3 are out for the 360, and the majority of games for the 360 are also on PS3. Granted, there are some awesome exclusives to both, but the libraries of the PS3 and 360 are mostly the same.

Don't hurt me. *shields face*

exclusives, making the ps3 bear all the netflix, home video and picture storage work. making the 360 bear all the dvd playing workload. running netflix on one while playing a game on the other and switching back and forth all day depending on how bored i am with games or tv.

renting 3d movies from ps3's vudu, watching msnbc on xbl, playing 360 games or watching netflix while dling ps3 updates.

i just don't like to have all my eggs in one basket.

Use my xbox 360 for gaming..

Use my Ps3 for a blu ray movies..

Well, i agree! This is the first gen i see no need to have more than one system. But if you have time and money, the more, the better.

good question, i always forget i have a 360

The point is to be able to play Skyrim and MAG.

Wii60 is the best combo. Super multiplats, awesome Nintendo games, awesome SHMUPs, better online. Can't go wrong unless you're a Yakuza or MGS freak.Eponique

:P that's my problem. Blu-ray also helps.

But since MGS went multiplat and blu-ray will still be the standard movie format next gen, I'm free from Sony's shackles!

Gonna throw away all my PS3 games except MGS4 too, to cleanse my home.

I have a job so, for me it's: does the system provide enough exclusives to warrant a purchase?

IMO both have enough games I can't play on the other system so I bought both, simple as that.

to play the exclusives. but if u are not interested in atleast 90% of exclusives its a waste of money

i own a ps3 and a 360 and my 360 is eating dust meaning i played gears 3 and forza 4 awesome games i cant stand halo so now there is nothing to do on my 360(have playedalan wake).next year only non kinect exclusiveis halo 4 and i dont want it. as i prefer ps3 for multis so now i am thinking of selling 360.

Huh? What?

One for Metal Gear and the other for Mass Effect :P
That or just in case one blows up on you lol

I have never bought a multiplat on PS3 that hasn't worked beautifully after patches. In addition, any "exclusive" I've wanted to play on the 360 has been available on the PC for me to buy for $10 cheaper. So yeah, no point in owning a PS3 *Eyeroll*Greyfeld

I have all three consoles and the Wii gets the least play. The 360 is my go to gaming consoles while sure the PS3 has some neat games to play, I found myself using it as a bluray player more which is fine with me because I enjoy watching movies too.

For exclusives, of course. Though if I were going to pair just 2 platforms this gen, that'd be my least likely combo.

Exclusives and which system has the better multiplat.

To have more games, but since both have the exact same multiplats and a discrepancy in which are better (LA Noire, BF3 better on PS3 slightly, Skyrim and earlier games better on 360 slightly), then its just best to pick one with the best exclusives and get a Wii or PC for some change up in your library.

Personally I got them all, but I play more on my PS3 since my buddies are there, I prefer trophies, and its got a few more enticing exclusives.

Though lately I've been neglecting both for Skyrim and BF3 on my PC, with the occasional SS and Dark Souls run.

If you can afford them all though, that's always cool.

I use my PS3 as a bluray player and my 360 is where I play the majority of multiplats. Also it's really sad how people discount XBLA AND PSN.

its best to have them all that way you dont miss out on any games

Umm

more games?

Though I would find it a bit overwhelming, two social networks (psn and live), two different consoles with their own amazing exclusives, it's a bit too much if you ask me.

So you can play Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Infamous,God of War, Halo, Gears, Fable and Forza

I think best is PC + Wii. Next is PC + PS3. If for some reason you're excluding pc, then PS3 + Wii would probably be the best.

When you own both sides of the fence, there's not a need to worry about any greener grass.

Because I just got Yakuza 4 in the mail today and need a PS3 to play it

As of late not really any reason to own the 360 since it has so few exclusives. Heil68

I agree with TC. I've thought about getting a 360 but I just don't see any reason to. I'm not an avid shooter fan so I'm not gonna buy it for Gears or Halo and I can live without the other exlucsives such as Forza. PS3/Wii or me.

I got 2x xboxes and 2x ps3 i own them since they are cheaper then dirt.

But my main reason is that i play everything.

Exlusives and better versions

Most 3 way muliplats go on PC for me,

But PS3 gets the superior Final Fantasy versions

360 gets better versions too (bayonetta for instance)

Both have a great deal of exlusive games to each platform.

Also for third party games that can't decide what platform to stick with. For instance Tales of Vesperia is exlusive to 360 (in english) while Tales of Graces F is PS3 only.

The point to have both for me is to have all the exclusives.

i dont even know myself but if your a collector(like me) you will like to get all 3
