Guys Im about to make a move from PS3 to 360. I bought a PS3 mainly for a few games like Uncharted, Warhawk(very overrated Imo), KZ 2 and a few others. However I am getting very bothered by Sony's constant game delays and other things. I also seem to be constantly updating my PS3 as if it were a computer!!!

I guess my question is at the end of the day is the 360 a worthy replacement for a PS3? Keep in mind that I dont give a rip about BluRay. In fact to this point Id say BluRay is slightly overrated Imo!!!

Depends on what genres you enjoy, but the 360 has a pretty decent variety so far. What kind of games do you enjoy?

I love my 360, haven't had any problems with it, I have a crapload of games to play that I find very entertaining and there's a bunch more coming out this year that are either exclusive or multiplatform. I don't really care about MGS4 or FF at this point. XBL is a great service, I use it almost every day so I think it's worth switching but I think it's even more worth it to have both for when those games you've been waiting for on the PS3 come out. So if you can afford to buy a 360 without trading in your PS3, I would go that route.

I feel the same way about blu-ray. I have never (until now) not had the most recent PS at my house. Honestly, I got a 360 b/c it was cheaper. But I am sure glad I did. Go for it man, you wont be disappointed.

On an additional note, I was wondering if I should just get the Premium or should I go for the Elite?

If you're not bothered about Bluray, then pretty much the only deciding factor between the two is games, and there are loads of great titles on 360. Give us an idea of what types of games you like, and people can start recommending games for you.

While a lot of major titles are multi-platform, there is still a tendency for PS3 delays, and the constant updating of firmware does make it feel more like a PC than a games console. The 360 gets updates, but these tend to only happen twice a year (Spring and Autumn updates) unless urgent work needs to be taken (prep for GTA :) )

If you're keeping your PS3 then you get the best of both worlds, if not, then the 360 is an excellent console to have for gaming

They're pretty much the same just matters what you wanna do. Do you plan on downloading lots of XBLA games,putting music,and getting Xbox original games on your HDD? If so elite otherwise the pro is more than enough. In the long run though i think the elite will be more worth it because buying it later on will be far more expensive. Just matters though gonna download a lot of stuff then yes if not no.

I'm coming back to 360 as well (probably get one tomorrow). I'm still keeping my PS3 though, I want to be able to play all the great games on both systems. My 360 list is getting really long already, Halo 3, Gears of War, Crackdown, Lost Odyssey, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Ghost Recon AW 1+2, Forza 2, Viva Pinata, Dead Rising, Saints Row, and PDZ. Probably forgotten a few lol....

I don't stick to any company or system, I simply buy anything that has great games on it. So I have an xbox 360.

I won't be getting a PS3 until killzone, GT5 and MGS4 are out....and even then I still might not bother, I don't have the time to play all the great games on xbox.

If $100 isn't going to seriously upset your budget, then yeah, go for it. After years of PC gaming, I will say that you can never have too much harddrive space. And black looks cooler than Data's skin tone, or whatever color the normal Xbox is supposed to be.

Get Elite if you have decided to move.
