Hy dudes, question is that should i buy an X360 cause that PS3 sucks now.

I mean X360 has super games and when DMC4 moved on him i changeed my mind.

PS3 is expensive in my country>>>500 euro

X360 just>>>300 Euro in Premium with HDD and all that stuff.

What's my advantage for buying one now?

I guess this is a stupid topic :P

One reason:  Games

Edit:  These reasons: more games, better online, better features, #1 rated controller, good price.

Well i am from Scotland

And my answer is yes and no...

 

Yes because its the best out right now

No because it is not built well...

 

I dont know how they are built now, but my launch 360 broke in febuary then my second 360 in november broke... microsoft suck...

 

So i will see when the better 360s come out here and get a warranty from shop instead

 

Its your choice.

Its a great console and at the moment it has waaaaaay better games than the ps3, personally i used to be a Playstation fanboy but the 360 changed my mind. Its a great console and if you buy it you will have plenty of quality time with it.

I have to advise you if you want a console that will entertain you for the next 4 years don't buy an xbox360 cause it won't live for one year I have bought one at launch and it broke just after three months, then another one broke while I was playing gears of war....thank god it happened when I just finished the game ...now I am not planing on getting one....because it is a rip off....sorry to say...that.... I have a PS3 and I advise you to buy one cause the games that coming for it this year are going to be great......

if you planning on buying and X360 for just DMC I advise you to think again...one game isn't a reason for you to buy a console....you

XBOX360 399$+HD-DVD 200$+Controller 50$++game 50$+HDD 50-100$=about 800$

PS3 blu-ray built-in 60gigs built-in HDMI port built-in= 599$ sorrry PS3 win

I have t say xbos360 fans should be offended by my opinion but.be a good sporty....OK I am only telling the truth....

You know what, if you cannot afford to buy both, do yourself a favor and get the PS3.  You will sleep better knowing it will not crap out on you.  Theres nothing worse than spending a lot of money on something that may have to be replaced serveral times.

Why do you add the cost of a controller and a game for 360 but not PS3? And not everyone cares about a HD-DVD.GTFO fanboy.

The Reason is the games. The PS3 only has 2 good games but the 360 has about 5 great games and yeah it is cheaper.

Gears of War, Elder Scroll 4, Tiger Woods PGA Tour are games you need to get and the PS3 is not going to have the greatest game of all time: HALO 3.

My 360 hasn't broken or had any problems (except for occasional freezing) and I have had it for over a year. *Knocks on wood* But really, if you want a bunch of good games immediately, X360 is the way to go. If you can wait, then look at the specs on each and decide for yourself.

your right this is easily a stupid topic. I never understood the idea of asking people how to spend your money. Especially since your in a 360 forum what do you expect for us to say?

Also, seems like you made your mind up already, and there was no reason for you to mention ps3.

Anyway, Ive got a 360..do i enjoy it? greatly. Will you enjoy it? cant see why not its a wonderful system wit great games so i would say sure buy it if u can. Just make sure you get an extended warranty.

Why would you even ask this question in an Xbox 360 forum? Obviously every single person will say that you should buy one. So redundant!

I just bought an X360 three days ago, haven't yet opened it. Has anyone bought one within the past month and had it die? Has Microsoft improved the console? I may just spend the extra $60 to get Best Buy's product replacement plan.

As a former PS3 owner I can say that the 360 blows it away right now. Id get the 360 now....but what ever system you get the best bet now days is to get a warranty....it sucks to say that but the 360 does have some reiiability issues. For me Id replace my 360 a hundred times just for the fact it has all the games I want at the moment. The PS3 may have great games and updates in a year or 2 but for now it just doesnt live up to the PS console name......get a 360 you wont regret it:)

LOL@HOME.....come on...it still not the dedicated features you get with LIVE, and it never will be as long as its free. Its just a program that is suppose to bring people (probably chimos) together, its not like intergrated dash board that the 360 had from the start that allows options for private chat any time anywere even while playing 2 seperate games, plus the dedicated servers you get with LIVE.

Even after HOME releases it will still confuse people as they will have to transfer all of there friends from the XMB bar in to home etc.....Sony will still be behind with there ONLINE service, HOME will not save it. It may be cool but by then LIVE will have even more intergrated features, that flow seamlessly with the console and not some rag-tag program that is suppose to emulate LIVE.....sorry but that is truth. Maybe some day Sony will get it, but not this gen....and that saddens me.

Look at the game selections out right now and see which you like more.  If you wanna wait to get a system a ps3 isn't a bad buy if your looking to get something around the holidays because they'll have a much better lineup out then, then again so will the 360.  Right now though the ps3 is more powerful spec wise although not one ps3 game has taken advantage of that fact so your probably better off with a 360 right now just cause the price is the most worth while right now.  You'll have a 360 and 3 new games for what your will pay just for a ps3 console.  I am neither a sony or microsoft fanboy, I have 360 but I am going to get a ps3 it just doesnt have any games it's worth buying it for right now cause Oblivion is on the 360 too.  So basically if you want something now go 360, if your going to wait to get something or are only going to have one next gen system though really think this through cause ps3 will be superior its just a matter of time before the system and blu-ray takes over and sony cuts the market in half.

wait...so you add the cost of a game and controller onto the 360, but not the PS3??...also, why do you include the hard drive when you already have the price of the premium 360...so, even if you still want the hd dvd, it is the same price, at $600...get off my forum fanboy

Yeah dude, buy a 360. I dont know about you.. but I'm tired of reading about all these great game previews here on gamespot all the time, and then waiting months on end to still see a TBA release date on all of them. At least with the 360, theres several already out to hold you over... and many more to come of course. The only thing worthwhile you'll miss out on, is the Metal Gear Solid, and God of War franchises. Which.. hurts, I know. But its worth it to miss out on those 2 series, to play the 360 exclusives. Gears of War, Dead Rising, Mass Effect, Huxley, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Shadowrun, and not to mention all the previously exclusive PS3 titles we've obtained.

 the ps3 is brining out loads of game like winter time.

the xmb migh be better

I think for now that the xbox 360 will have better game , to get you your next gen game needs

but the ps3 has a better theme, which allows you t store music,video,photos

you get to use psp with it.

free online.

 I used to be a bigtime XboxLive and then X360Live, but time has changed for me since early this year, cuz I got tired of paying for XboxLive over the five years. XLive is awesome but come to think of it, I did got bored playing with a bunch of talkin **** and yeah, it can be boring so Live isnt all that great anymore to me anyway..... it is your choice PS3 or 360. they all play games.

Im now in for free online. so PS3 online is free. I dont mean to be rude, but it's what I gotta save some bucks for games you see, not paying for Live. also PS3 online now isnt the best right now but it will only get better later on......
