Well of course I could just buy a 3rd party adapter for around $30. :PAFK4Lifez
true you could but now with the elite you are spending 510 plus tax for that so lets say 535$ for 65$ more you get the blu ray player which is better deal then having to fork over for the HD DVD in the event you end up wanting smething ike that, its tough choice you get all the cables you need with the elite you have to buy them if you get the ps3 so pick your poison whats more important to you and like ^^^he said you want 2 exclusives over one so just comes down to what suits your needs better

Alright I realize this is the Playstation 3 forum and I can tell what the majority result will be. but i figured maybe you guys can help give me some more incentive towards my purchase.  The question of course is whether I should invest in a PS3 60gb or a Xbox360 Elite.

I am not biased towards any company and want the best playing experience possible. (Which in turn means i'll eventually have purchased all of the new gen consoles.) 

Here's a few of my buying points:

1. I currently lack an HDTV but I am planning on buying at least a 26ish inch 720p HDTV.

2. A few of the games I'm wanting to purchase for each console are:

    PS3: Armored Core 4, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Motorstorm

    360: Gears of War, Armored Core 4, and GRAW2

3. I enjoy a good single-player experience more than anything, but online does have its upsides.

Pros and Cons

 

PS3 PROS

Integrated Wi-fi

Free Online

Blu-ray 

Upgradeable Hard-drive 

PS3 CONS

$600 pricetag 

Current lack of "must-have" games.

Current lack of rumble. 

360 ELITE PROS

$480 Price tag

Current game line-up good.

Rumble 

Good online service (Albeit monthly payments.)

120gb HDD 

360 ELITE CONS

Lack of integrated wi-fi.

Tray-loader DVD Drive

Hardware Failures. 

 

I'd just like some opinions and incentive from the PS3 community to help my decision.  While I know most answers will end up as PS3, please post your reasoning and ideals behind that decision.

Thanks

you pretty much are answering your own question with all the pros and cons you have between both systems, it really comes down to what game you want more RFOM or gears of war, since the other two are on both systems. i have both systems and thy are both good. if you want to spend mor emoney bcuase of the blu ray get the ps3 if you dont care about that get the 360 but to go oline you pay close to the same as a ps3 if you want the wifi adapter since its 100$

you cant do a permanent background only temporary, go to any picure you have and then open it and press triangle i believe and it will become your background but the minute you do something on your xmb it goes away so we are all still waiting for that update, it just changes color beteween time of day and months the dark is usually only at night and the other colors during the day youcant change it unless you start changing your date maybe but i have not tried

for thte most part it will not affect you one way or the other what you decide to do first, but there are a few instances were beating the game first can lead to needing certain things for a side quest but nothing huge.

well i would get one if for now while your waiting for more games to come out you will also use it as a blu ray player, if your strictly a gamer then yah i would wait till the summer. Motorstorm although i have not played it probably wont keep you busy for a longlong time like oblvion does. i only have 2 games oblivion, RFOM but i dont regret buying it. i always watching blu ray movies on it and oblivion is keeping me busy while other games are coming on the way. its a great machine and can only get better with the additions soon to come.

i have mine out in the open and it still gets warm, itsnot going to stay cold when your using it for awhile, as long as your not experiencing any kind of bad things while you are playing that arent normal its ok. if its in the open its geting plenty of air so i would not worry too much. If it starts to freeze alot, or worse than that i would check it out

1080i will be fine, people take this resolution too much to heart its not really the most important part to having our game look good, if your tv has a good contrast ratio and quick response time i hear like 8ms is good then you should be good

it will most likely depend on the game you are playing, 1080i is not progressive so on fast gmes like maybe racers or big action with explosions 720p will be quicker and it may look better than 1080i would look but progresive will still always technicallly be better and thats what i play most of my games on

With only a few more months to go before its release (if the rumor about releasing date is true), so little information Kojima is giving out. I feel Kojima is at the end of his inspiration. They simply don't have enough material to show. MGS4 may not come out as what we are expecting. Do you feel the same way deep down?

fengpeng
Your talking about one of the greatest game creators not putting out a good MGS4, especially afer he said this could be the last of the MGS franchise i think just in case it is he would want to go out on top with the best MGS ever. and i doubt this game comes out anytime before the holiday season just my opinion though
