hey guys, i have both XBOX 360 and PS3, i currently don't have xbox live ( didn't renew it ), and also i have about 25 xbox 360 games and 38 ps3 games, im a neat organized person and always like the idea of using 1 system as primary and 1 system just and only for exclusives, my 360 had RROD 2 times already and my PS3 knock on wood haven't had any issue for past 2.5 years, i just need some opinions that which system should i use as primary, ( i also don't really care about online that much, i rarely get online) so dont really care about the whole XBL is better than PSN argument, i need the opinions be based on the actual system.

Id say the PS3 based on what you said there. I use my PS3 for everything and my 360 for exclusives.

If you own both, why do you need a primary?

well things change sometimes, some ps3 versions might have exclusive stuff (Batman AA) while some 360 versions might have better performance (Bayonetta)

based on what you said and also my own opinion make the ps3 your primary for alot of reasons but the main reason is the PS3 is real hardcore and can take the gaming pressure for long durations of time but tbh the 360 is a junkbox that tends to break alot so its better if you dont use it as much and keep it for the exclusives which seem 2b very few these days my opinion :)

to be honest i love the exclusives on ps3 and the only exclusive i really enjoy on xbox is gears 1 and 2, the only think that shatters my choice in using ps3 as main console is lack of Trophies in older games, i mean in old days games where all about playing and enjoying it but now this whole achievement and trophie thing makes me feel im loosing a future to another console, i love my ps3 and controller but thats the only problem i have atm, is trophie/achievement important factor to choose 1 version over the other?

If you own both, why do you need a primary?siLVURcross
I was going to ask the same thing. I don't have a primary. I play exclusives and multiplats on both. I do tend to play one more than the other at times, but it changes back and forth every few months when new games come out that I want for one or the other. July-October PS3 dominated, but November-February 360 is taking over the top spot, only for PS3 to jump back on top in March so I could never choose just one system. If you HAVE to have a primary, just choose whichever one you like the exclusives more on I guess.

yeah, i always wellcome options, im always signed on to PSN when my ps3 turns on but i just dont play online much, well i do more now cuz of Modern Warfare 2 =), but my only and last question is, ( Again we talking about futures and options ) should Trophies/Achievements be the reason to choose 1 system over another?

No,but the achievements on the X360 always had more interest to me,and having a gamerscore kinda makes you play the games even more to make the points grow.

This, if you find this too hard, then too bad. Make up your mind. :P

Sounds like you've already made your choice. I chose Xbox 360 because I highly prefer the controller.

I like the 360 for everything and the PS3 for exclusives. My netflix disc is on it's way so that will give me something to do on it other than play exclusive games. The reasons I like the 360 as my main console is 1. I like the controller better 2. XBL is set up for a better community based experience.
