should i get 360 or ps3 right now READ BEFORE FLAMING

wrote a whole bludey big thing and pressed the wrong button :| so ill just go right into it this time

ok now im getting both so none of that bla bla ps3 sucks dont get it. im just wandering which to get right now....
im asking because i hear a new 360 model will be out soon which will rid it of rrod and should i wait or get one now? and if i get one now will i be able to trade in the old model for the new one or will i be stuck with it? or should i get a ps3 until the new 360 model comes out to keep me busy?

get a ps3 then wait for the newer 360

Add me: PSN: Da_Zee3

Get a atari lynx! those things are the way of the future and more power than a 360 and ps3 combined!!craig305

If you plan on getting them both anyway, (why you dont have either right now i dont know), then i say get the PS3 and wait for the newer 360 models, although ive never had an issue with mine, alot of people have had issues with the older ones.DZBricktop

because i stupidly bought a wii(it sucked so much damn penis most gimmicky bludey system ever and nintendo were twits for making it. ds shouldve been the console cause it kicks its ass) and used all my money on it and now its sold i have enough money for either a 360 or ps3 but not both atm.

OMG looks at the specs

• MOS 65SC02 processor running at up to 4 MHz (~3.6 MHz average)
  • 8-bit CPU, 16-bit address space
  • Sound engine
    • 4 channel sound (Lynx II with panning)
    • 8-bit DAC for each channel (4 channels × 8-bits/channel = 32 bits commonly quoted)
  • Video DMA driver for liquid-crystal display
    • 4,096 color (12-bit) palette
    • 16 simultaneous colors (4 bits) from palette per scanline (more than 16 colors can be displayed by changing palettes after each scanline)
  • 8 System timers (2 reserved for LCD timing, one for UART)
  • Interrupt controller
  • UART (for ComLynx) (fixed format 8E1, up to 62500Bd)
  • 512 bytes of bootstrap and game-card loading ROM
• Suzy (16-bit custom CMOS chip running at 16 MHz)
  • Graphics engine
    • Hardware drawing support
    • Unlimited number of high-speed sprites with collision detection
    • Hardware high-speed sprite scaling, distortion, and tilting effects
    • Hardware decoding of compressed sprite data
    • Hardware clipping and multi-directional scrolling
    • Variable frame rate (up to 75 frames/second)
    • 160 x 102 standard resolution (16,320 addressable pixels)
  • Math co-processor
    • Hardware 16-bit × 16-bit → 32-bit multiply with optional accumulation; 32-bit ÷ 16-bit → 16-bit divide
    • Parallel processing of CPU and a single multiply or a divide instruction
• RAM: 64 KB 120ns DRAM
• Storage: Cartridge - 128, 256 and 512 KB exist, up to 2 MB is possible with bank-switching logic.

with a 360 your backed by a three year warrenty.bxgt

no he is not because all of the models made after july of 2007 had some problems fixed on them and are only backed by a 1 year, so just wait for the new model

The 360 is, as far as I'm concerned, still the system to own at the moment. That might change sooner or later, depending on when the PS3's game lineup gets stronger.

From what I've heard, the 360s that are currently on store shelves are actually the "new model" that you're referring to, so (hopefully) the RROD issue is completely squashed. If not, you've still got Microsoft's stellar 3 year warranty free of charge.

I've always maintained that, sooner or later, I would end up owning both systems, and I'm actually considering picking up a PS3 in the next week or so once the good ol' income tax refund arrives. :)septemberluc

so which first for me do you rec?

Dude... I own one of those... I thought I was the only one!!!!!

yeah i know but im wondering if i should wait and get the new version which will have no rrod to have a warranty forsiruslife4

if ur thinking of the 360s with the falcon chips, they are already out. and they can still get the rrod but its less likely because it is supposed to run cooler. and also u will most likey get a biasd vote here on the 360 forum. take this to system wars if u rly want to c what ppl think.
