Well I already have an Xbox 360 but was thinking of saving up a bit of money and getting a PS3 in the future. Any other 360 owners have a PS3 and if so I wanna hear your opinions. Is it good or just ok?

I have all 3 systems, and yes I never played my PS3. The games are here with more coming now. Just last month alone every PS3 game was worth having. I just got UR3 and its the Sh. If you have the means to get 1 do it.

I have all three. UT3 just came out on the PS3 and it allows a mouse and keyboard so I went for it on that system. Uncharted and ratchet and clank are good exclusives you can't get on the 360. My xbox is still the most used machine but it's nice to have both. If you have the cash I say go for it.

I don't, I was going to get one in january... But for the lack of decent exclusives it's not worth the money imo. I've had so many oppertunities to get one, I even had it on pre-order but I never ended up buying it. I can think of so many better ways to spend my money. (I've bought 2 xbox 360s and still no ps3 ffs).

for the record, I was a huge playstation fan and never owned an original xbox, but sonys attitute towards europe made me change my mind, and I dont regret it. The only console that has made me tear away a bit from pc gaming.

I have a 360/wii combination. I can play combat games like Halo 3 on my 360 and light-hearted titles like Mario Galaxy on the wii. I wouldn't get a PS3 because it doesn't offer many good games that the 360 doesn't also have.

you 360 fanboys are starting to make me furious. I never like bringing this up but where was the 360 one year after launch. It was right in the PS3's position and the only reason it got no hate was because there was no competition. Good games were just starting to come out and it hadn't sold very much even with no competition proving that it wasn't that good. But now you think wow the PS3 sucks and Xbox has never been bad.

Lets point out some cons

360 vs Ps3 failure rate

1. 360= 30-35%PS3= 1-2%

2. 360 has less value then PS3 Ps3.built in wifi, bluray (basically the 360 hd-dvd player), andfree online. For only $400-500. To get those things for 360 it will cost (I'm using core/arcade as an example)

Wireless adapter- $100

Ethernet cable(If you don't want wireless)- I'm guessing $20-50

XBL gold subsription- I think $60

HD-DVD player- $200

Arcade/Core Xbox 360 itself- $270

So that's $550-630 and that's the arcade/core.

For the pro it's $630-710

For the Elite it's $730-810

Which is cheaper now. That's what I thought. But back to the subject.

PS3's 08' lineup is incredibly strong and so is 360's. I love the 360 but when you fanboys come along it pisses me off

HD-DVD player is $180

Arcade-$520-$60

Also the Elite comes with an HDMI cable-$20-$50

HD cables-$40

Headset-$20

I own a 360, my brother owns a PS3 and we both split on a Nintendo Wii last week. I can safely say my brother plays my xbox 360 (a couple times a week) more then I play his PS3 (once a week max). The PS3 doesn't have enouh exclusives for me to make time to play it and all the multi-platform games I would rather play on my 360. If you do want another system I recommend the Wii as it provides ytou with a different experiences then what the PS3 and 360 both give you.

ha! wont happen....ps3 is just now worth having...uncharted heavenly sword....racthet...and mgs coming soon...gta 4 which will be on 360 but dont expect the same thing on each console...theyve stated numerous times that 360 is hard tio develop for because they cant depend on the space for the hd like they can with ps3...but that aside...ps3 is better than wii reguardless either way....dont go that route if you were...i regretted it...unless your a young one...like poster above me...not to mention the blu ray player is worth it alone...blu ray is dominating hd dvd and seems as of now that it will wein the format "war"...heh...and the web browser if you do not have a computer of your own in your room...

360 is the console to own as of now though hands down...2 years from now?....really doubt it ...which is why having both is win win...but i have a job...2 actually..and can afford to buy both..but wii...ahh...wii wont last..just a fad...for lack of a better word..tale my word for it...skip the wii..unless your 14 or down

This is very true, and the new selling point for ps3, it has twice the features and same price.....

Wait till there are atleast 5 exclsuive titles that you really want to have. A console isnt worth it if there arent even 5 games you really want for it. In my case there is just one game on the PS3 that I want, and it hasnt even been released yet, might even go multiplatform in 2008, and no I'm not talking about MGS4. So if the PS3 has 5 games released that you want atm, then go for it.

I own both and I wouldn't get rid of either. Considering how many features the PS3 has out of the box that the 360 charges extra for, the prices are about the same. 360 may even be more expensive if you'll be playing online. There aren't many PS3 games worth getting right now but 2008 is going to be an amazing year for the PS3, so many great games coming to it.

nice thread i was a sony fan boi but not anymore I own a 360 and i love it, but i still support the ps3, truth is if both consoles would of came out at the same time with the same price range everyone would of perfered the ps3, but since it had a year start thats what really changed everything.

Titles that im looking forward to on the ps3 are

1. MGS4
2. Killzone
3. Haze
4.Socom

and their ps3 exclusives !

I have all three next gen systems, and by far my 360 gets the most play time, followed by my wii, and then the ps3. I am not a fanboy, but I will play the system which gives me a better gaming experience and right now it is the 360. The PS3 is a good machine, but don't get swept up in the hype. The system was, and still is dependent on the hype. Since before the console has been out, it's been "Remote play is gonna be sweet" and "MGS4 will be hereon (insert date)". They have yet to deliver on either of those fronts. Remote play is still completely and utterly useless, and I still don't have MGS4. I also hate the fact that they removed the rumble feature from the remote. I don't understand the theory behind removing something that has become standard in a supposedly "next-gen" console. I agree, "someday" the console will be worth owning, I just don't know when that day will be. Oh, and yeah, the blu-ray is nice, but that doesn't make it a good gaming console. The 360 is a fantastic gaming platform, unfortunately it has its downfall in the whole hardware department. However, I would rather have my system, which actually has good games, break 5 times rather than have a system that doesn't break, which I never play games on.

P.S. Also, you may want to take this to system wars so you get less of a biased from both 360 fanboys and trolling PS3 fanboys. Just an FYI

THAT is the smart way to go. A 360 for your FPS and epic RPGs, and Wii for parties and light hearted stuff (good for families too)

As a former PS2 man, I have played some exclusives on the PS3 and NONE of them justify the high price. It is a monetary disaster for Sony,but hopefully we will see something positive come out of this for 2008.

It is clearly time to respect the reign of the Xbox 360.

I have all three and love all of them. The PS3 is just now starting to take off. This holiday season it has come out with many worthy games, Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, Unreal, Uncharted, and a few others. If you have the money to spare it is worth picking up. Though the 360 does have its fair share of games out (Bioshock, Call of Duty, and Mass Effect) it is nice to have even more of a selection. Plus you get a BluRay player and if you don't think it makes a difference over upconverted DVD's you have never seen Casino Royal on BluRay, Next to it on DVD there is no comparison (especially if you ave surround sund). If you must skip one next gen console I would say the Wii has the fewest games I play, the Games I do play are out on other consoles anyway, Resident Evil 4 on PS2 and Twilight Princess on GameCube, and I have a PS2 and GameCube.
