im still sorta deciding between the 360 and ps3 cuz ps3 is future proof with its blu-ray, cell, rsx, and all that stuff. but the 360 has mass effect which is my most hyped game, and halo 3 which is my second most hyped. do u think its worth it to get a 360 just for those 2 games particularly and other games? and also most of my friends have 360's and not ps3's, will it be more boring not being able to play online with them?

This topic would be better in the System Wars forum, but I'll be nice and give my opinion. Go with the 360, the PS3 might have some games coming in the future but games like Halo 3, Mass Effect, Half Life 2 The Orange Box, Assasins Creed, Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, and many others are coming to the 360

There coming to the Ps3 to, but why would you pay for the same games on a more expensive system? Plus the online play is great on the 360. Overall its up to you, because the Ps3 has no games that can stand up to the 360 right now. It might in the future though, thats just a gamble your going to have to take.

this is pretty much a no brainer, arguably the two biggest games of the year were talking about

Yes, although both consoles have some great games coming out soon, I am still super pumped about Mass effect and if i didn't already own a 360 i think i would buy one to play that game.

I would buy a 360 for those two games alone. Add in Bioshock and all the great multiplat games and you're set.

I believe if Mass Effect lives up to the hype that everyone is giving it and delivers an enthralling, lasting experience, then yes, it will be a system seller. Sadly Halo 3 will also be a system seller but not because of (in my opinion) the gameplay. The only reason Halo 3 will sell systems is because of the name not because of the content.

Mostfans who love halo dont love halo because other people love halo. It is the gameplay and it is the content people are after (and halo 3 has lots and lots of content).

This topic doesn't belong here, but as a person who owns all three consoles, I think I can offer a relatively impartial position and say the 360 is the best option. I think the PS3 is better for media -- better DVD upscaler, BluRay player, HDMI offers a more crisp picture and the colors pop more. The Wii is... well, whatever. The 360 has all the games the PS3 does, plus Bioshock and a version of Oblivion where you can get the Shivering Isles expansion. It also has much better online, and XBL Arcade is one of the best things to happen to consoles since ROB the Robot.

a game or two does not sell/make a system better,Its always the line up of games that should decide a factor in choosing a console.

The 360 should be owned whether Halo or Mass Effect existed or not.

Blu ray is far from future proof - there still is no clear winner in the HD DVD v's Blue ray war and it looks like there never will be at this rate.

Id get the 360 and give the PS3 another year of erm 5 to take off. At the moment its pretty expensive and pretty lame

Peter Moore wasnt lying when he said Microsoft has the best linup of holiday titles in years. Halo 3 and Mass Effect as insanely awesome as they both are, arent the only system sellers this christmas. You gotta think of everything else, Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Army Of Two, Call Of Duty 4, World In Conflict, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3. Amazing amount of titles, and thats not even the end of the list!

id say so, GTA3 sold a lot of ps2s. The great thing is, after more systems are sold more games get made.
