Im deciding to trade my 60GB PS3 with Resistance(bought it for $400)

for an Xbox 360 Premium(2 months old I think) with Halo 3/1 Year Xbox Live.

Im not sure why I wanna do this, I like the PS3 better in terms of the upcoming games, But the xbox 360 is what my friends have and there are more current games out

This is an issue for many people right now, Im definitely going to buy a PS3 once I get my money going again..

Im definitely losing money it seems(to me) But I wouldnt mind hearing some unbiased opinions.

Even though this IS System Wars, it doesnt mean there cant be people here that are completely Fanboys(Alot are).

AFTER YOU VOTE TELL ME WHY PLEASE

Uh, you just said it yourself... But

Xbox 360 = bestgraphics, upgradable, best games, higher install base than PS3, XBL, NOT AFFILIATED WITH SONY
PS3 = best graphics, yeah that's pretty much it... No AAAE's yet this holiday.

definitely keep your ps3 and just get a 360 when you have the money for it. it makes no sense selling your ps3 for a 360 and then buying a ps3 again later on.

edit: if you are wondering, Halo 3 is worth the purchase of a 360 by itself

I would say that since your friends seem to have 360s, I would get that.

How come more people have told what they mean than the number who have voted?

If your going to buy another PS3 later, then don't sell your current one. Save up for a xbox, because playing Halo 3 is imperative. Also, you can still play all the amazing games currently out for xbox later, there's no law against playing games that are months old.

I would either keep the ps3 and get a 360, or sell my ps3 now with plans to buy one in the future. I think the 360 is the strongest stand alone console but pretty much anyone would be kidding themselves if they don't think the ps3 will carry its value in the future.

I'll probably be picking up a ps3 when God of war III comes out. Until then, the 360, to me, is absolutely the best console to own. The nice thing about the ps3 and games like MGS 4, is it doesn't matter when you buy then because they are single player. You aren't going to miss out on playing online or get behind in the games.

The 360 is the console to own and eventually the ps3 will make a great complement to it.

Magneto just got his head cut off by the jack of spades :( But yeah I agree Ill add Magneto pretty soon.

EDIT: thanks for the replies and votes but I guess in the end the decision is all up to me.

If you knew that Ive had 2 Cores and 1 Premium(Sold them all) Im like this, I trade off things for something I want without using money.. Because money really isnt somethin im rolling in right now, My friends are talking about a Halo 3 team and they will be System Linking

From Halo/Halo2 thats all me and my friends used to do. It was amazing, So far all ive put into my PS3 is Def Jam Icon(beat it)

Resistance(havent beat it, decent online) and 9 PSN Demos, whats the use of demos really? They just tease me :( Ive played the Skate demo atleast 8 times.

Only advice I can give you is : don't buy a console because your friends have it.

You said it yourself that you think PS3 upcoming games are better so why trade it for an inferior console? you get to play spaceman but after that? think about it, you're losing money for only 1 game.

It's not logical but it's up to you.

Thats Obviously a good point. It not just because my friends have it, To be honest with you I dont have many friends anymore. Girlfriends have them whipped like no other. But I have a few that are playing Halo 3 as a team and it seems very interesting to me

Plus it seems most of the upcoming games for PS3 are on Xbox 360. I think its personally retarded

Yeah this is a pretty weird/stupid choice for me to make, Ive made plenty of them before. I really want to get Halo 3 in my hands

Halo 2 and Counter Strike 1.6 is all I used to play O.o

Yeah... I should have added this to the poll

"Get off your ass and get a job so you can buy a 360/Halo3, They arent that much $$ anymore."

Ive had 3 Xbox 360s, this should be a no brainer for me.

Sorry for the useless post. But seriously, I want Halo 3 :( Whats up with this **** hype messing with my brains!?!?

I dont think the PS3 has a future, Its exclusives are flocking to the 360 (DMC4, GTA e.t.c) but the 360 still retains its exclusives. If you have a decent PC (such as my own) then you dont really need a 360 as most of its games will also be on the PC, but most people cant afford a gaming PC so i think you should go for the 360.

no. imo UT is a better game and while it may not have that good of a SP the multiplayer is better.
