Which one to get. Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3

I'm having a real hard time trying to decide which one to get. Which one and why? And if anyone can state the facts about each system i'd also appreciate it. The only thing i know about the 360 is it has a better online system, a better controller and more people and more of my friends have it. Can you guys list the reasons why to get to which disregarding the fact that more of my friends have the 360.

I see it like this...

PS3 pros...

-diverse exclusives with outstanding graphics and gameplay.

-PSN is free

-the playstation store has a lot of content

-the controller surprisingly has a long battery life before charging

-BLU RAY!

360 pros...

-a huge set of exclusives a few years ago, as well as shooters and ussually better multi plats

-Xbox live is cleary awesome.

-Xbox live, like PSN, has just as much if not more content

-best controller since the original NES

-price is cheap with a lot of great games on sale

------I'd personally go with the 360 if you said your friends have it. If none of ur friends have a ps3, you'll find urself playing single player a lot. Both are top notch though, and both have pros over the other...

All depends on what kinda games you like, i own both and prefer the 360 so i'd say 360

Always comes down to the games which interest me, so...

You have a gaming rig? Get a ps3. You don't have one? Get a 360.silversix_

Most of the games that are on the 360 are shared with the PC so your better off getting a PS3 because thats the only way you could play Sony exclusives.

if you have a gaming PC, then get a PS3. all PS3 exclusives stay on the PS3. all xbox 360 exclusives eventually end up on the PC. you want to pay money to play online? i know PC gamers know this is bad more than anyone else does.

In this case get a 360 if its what your friends have its more fun to enjoy what your real life friends are enjoying. I would say the exact same thing about the Ps3 if thats what your friends were playing.

If you wanna buy a console for online gaming, X360 is the system for you. PS3's online is nowhere near as good as the 360. The PS3, though, has the better exclusives library.khoofia_pika

I have both - they're both fun to have and play games on. However, my PS3 game collection is pretty much all exclusives, because I got my 360 first.

That being said, you should probably get a 360 with at least a 60GB hard drive. You're gonna want to play Halo Reach when it comes out. And all the other Halos. Your life will be changed.

if you have a gaming PC, then get a PS3. all PS3 exclusives stay on the PS3. all xbox 360 exclusives eventually end up on the PC. you want to pay money to play online? i know PC gamers know this is bad more than anyone else does.

Xbox 360 has a larger library of quality titles, and offers a wider variety to choose from. Multiplatform games are normally superior on Xbox 360 as well. My two cents.Stevo_the_gamer

Can't go wrong with either. If you don't have any, then both have a lot of old games available that you can buy for cheap. Many great multiplats are found on both consoles as well. Also consider the utility of the console such as do you want wireless or no, are you willing to play for live or no, are you going to use the console to watch blurays or no, are you interested in a certain online community or no, etc.

Personally, I couldn't decide on one over the other and got them both.

The 360's "larger library" is made up mostly of titles from 2005-2007, in the last few years the only high scoring exclusives it's gotten at MC is Fable 2, Gears 2, and Forza 3, sequels lol... The PS3 is the better choice dude, it's gotten like 4 times as many high scoring games since then, it's more reliable, feature rich, no hidden fee's etc...

if you a pc gamer, then get ps3...

PS3 has better exculsive games, plus it's free to play games online.

Aspc gamers, paying $ to unlock online play is a big lol.

Most 360 games came in 2005-2007? WOW man, thats almost as bad as "PS3 has no games" claim!

Actually 360 has been getting more games than PS3 every single year.

Look at every factor, and see which one is the most important to you. I'm guessing games.

Online service, if that's important I'd say 360 wins but not by much.

Value for money, if that's important, PS3 comes with Wi-fi, free online, Blu-Ray and such all out of the box

Media features? Both are substantial, PS3 I say edges it out though as it now also has Netflix.

Reliability? Obviously the PS3, but it shouldn't be to much of an issue as m$oft gives you a 3 year warranty.

Games in terms of exclusives, what would you prefer? Gears, Fable, Forza, Lost Odyssey and what not or, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear, LittleBigPlanet, Modnation racers, inFAMOUS ect ect

I second this point of view. I'd also go with the 360. Although PS3 exclusives are awesome, I think that the overall library on the 360 is better and has better online (though you have to pay for it).

All depends on what kinda games you like, i own both and prefer the 360 so i'd say 360

PtothaWHAT

PS3 is much better. Massive exclusive list, free online, Blu-ray, backwards compatibility, better and more reliable hardware.

me personally, i would say get a ps3 (cuz imma cow, but thats besides the point =P) but since you said *more of your friends have 360* then i would say get that simply for that reason.. out of all my friends im the only one with a PS3, and it can get quit lonely when you dont have RL freinds to play online with =(

i think the ps3 will have a longer lifespan since it came out a year after 360, and the ps1 and ps2 lasted for 10 years. plus you need that dumb wifi adapter for the 360 which cost $100 more when tis built in on ps3, and ps3 online is free, and better games.

Alright so what's making me have a hard time is that the comments go back and forth. Lol.RedxSniper

PS3 because I have one and I need more e-friends.

On a more serious note, it all depends your taste of games. Are you more interested in PS3 exclusives, or 360 exclusives? That's what led me to buy a PS3, at least.

Xbox 360

- Many huge real games you can play for life and collect, like older consoles (Mass Effect 1-2-3, Fable 2-3, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Banjo 3, Alan Wake, Kameo etc)

- Best versions of most multipltform games

PS3

- One huge real games you can play for life and collect (Demn Soul)

- More short, linear exclusives to rent for one day

.

So, if you have the time and appetite for quality gaming, go with 360
