I want to get eaither a ps3 or 360. My problem is I dont want to mess with the red ring of death. My parents also dont let me plar M rated games so No way ill get resistence for the ps3. I could probably convinvce them to let me play halo and gears 2 though.

Either way you cant go wrong. Both systems are fantastic..but if your going to play online, make sure your parents know that XBL is 50 bucks a month, assuming you don't own your own credit/debit card they would have to pay. If you dont care for online, well then choose any system, you cant possibly go wrong.

  • Ratchet and Clank Future
  • LittleBigPlanet

It doesnt matter. Its basicly the same thing. For the most part their lirbaries have been very similar and the exlusives on one arent that different from the exclusives on the other. Yeah Killzone 2 is a great shooter So is Gears 2. PS3 does have slightly better exlusives. 360 is cheaper. PSN is free online 360 cost money. I think there are more people on xbl than psn. In the long run Playstation 3 is the better thing to buy. Xbox 360 is cheaper at 1st but after 2 years of owning a 360 and paying for xbl by the year you have spend as much as you would have spent on a ps3 initialy and you wouldnt have to pay for your online games. Of course this is all assuming your getting the system new if you are willing to purchase a used system then PS3 used all the way. but if u need something new i would go with the 360

199+100 bucks equals 399? Maybe my math is off, but you'd need 4 years of XBL to bring the arcade up to PS3 price levels. IMO take a look at the libraries and what you'll use the machine for. If you don't game online as of now, get the 360 arcade. If you want to game online get yourself a 360 pro and a year of live and a game for the price of the PS3. If watching HD optical disc movies is important get the PS3.

You don't want to mess with the RROD. Plus the PS3 has Metal Gear Solid 4, the best game this generation. And free online. And Blu-ray. And better games.

Don't ask in system wars, polls tend to be heavily biased towards the PS3 all the time.

Go with your gut, what games interest you, what are you looking for in your gaming experience, what games do you want.

I went with the 360 for many reasons but I always had the intent to own both and I still do.

RROD is far less likely if you get a newer model, and I believe you get a 3-4 year warranty that covers RROD.

free internet gaming the other has a 50$ per year price tag! but you should also consider the exclusives. grrrr why do them make exclusives. the worst idea for gamers. but yeah 360 has some great exclusives so you have to buy one just to play them...

Indeed Geow is er lol very gory from what i know of the 1st Geow that is did they take the gore out of Geow 2? Anyhow personally i would go for the console the majority of your frends own then you can meet up online and play together.

You don't wanna get RROD? Same here, but I still bought a 360 instead of PS3. Regret it, it's only been 4 months and I've had the RROD once, but it went away. Now, if it breaks, which is not long, I'll get a PS3. BTW, what do you mean that you can convince your parents to play Gears 2? If you can do so, why can't you do so for resisitance 2? Gears 2 is much more violent than R2,

Would you buy a car with a low initial price and payments as long as you want to use it, or a car that you pay down in full at the beginning?

With the PlayStation 3 you get the same online service for free, the best hardware (the X360 WILL break down on you), the best games, Blu-ray.

It's amazing. Every single day without fail, someone WILL make a thread asking which of the 2 consoles they should buy. And I'm not exaggerating, it is literally every single day. I'm starting to think it's the same person with a ton of accounts.

On topic- look at which games interest you the most. I don't know or care which one you should get.

Get the system that has the GAMES you like to play the most. It's that simple. It's not even about the systems, it's about the GAMES. I like games on both systems, so I bought BOTH systems. lol!! Problem solved.

That's your opinion. It's not FACT. Xbox 360 onlines service is definitely better. The experts have already said this enough times. The new XBox 360 that are being released now have the Jasper motherboards in them with the cooler GPU/CPU chips. Chances of RROD is very minimal now. About as much chance as the PS3 have Disk_Read or HDD problems. There are a LOT of great games on the XBox 360. There actually more "AAA" & "AA" games on the XBox 360 then on the PS3. The only thing that's a fact is the PS3 has Blu-Ray. That's about it.

You sure ? The poll is slanted towards ps3. And you're giving up Uncharted , Heavenly Sword , Ratchet and Clank , Warhawk , Motorstorm PR , LittleBigPlanet (all rated T and lower) ..... plus whatever you can get away with on the mature side and shooters.

The 360 makes you pay to play online, it has failures galore, MS controls everything with it which makes you get less for upgrading the HDD for your money and othe rthings. The 360s exclusive games ahead are non existant. The PS3 is awesome and has tons of great exclusives in store like God of War 3, Infamous, Gran Tourismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 5, Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, MAG, and much more.

If he were smart he'd stay away from MS systems. I regret trying the 360 and I'm so so glad I dumped that system when the PS3 came out. Thank you Sony for saving me from that lame machine.

Same could be said for any other two games you'd only wanna get for that system.
