[QUOTE="Vagalfiddle"]When i will be playing it on my PC with better graphics and controls than the 360 version in a couple of years.GundamGuy0

Because the PC version hasn't been annouced or released yet.

Also, I can't see a huge leap in graphics b/w either system right now, but it is noticeable how much more action a few of the PS3 titles are paking onscreen at one time... really makes the gameplay more immersive. Not sure if that helps. Gears of War on the 360 and Motorstorm on the PS3 are the best games that I have ever played graphically. And Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Lair look better than both of them.

One poster posted a few games but it might help if you saw which systems they were for and did the research yourself:

360:

Halo 3

Lost Planet

Dead Rising

Crackdown

Bioshock

Forza 2

Too Human

(there are more titles coming out than this but I can't think of anymore that are in the genres you like so I included some of the good ones already out)

PS3:

Resistance: Fall of Man

Motorstorm

GTHD/GT5

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Lair

Heavenly Sword

Metal Gear Solid 4

Rachet & Clank: Tools of Destruction

Warhawk

Eight Days

Killzone 2

Folks Soul: The Lost Folklore

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

Take it from me, the 360 has more games out right now. But the PS3 has more of the ones you're looking for... I only listed those out and coming out this year... we will see even more announcements for next year at E3. And of course both systems have some great multi-platform titles out & coming out.

I see you've started a fanboy war on this topic :). Just wanted to make sure you get to take a look at an actual unbiased account. Each of the titles in each of my lists are confirmed exclusives... some fanboys would have you believe that Sony doesn't have any more exclusives... and looking at that list that clearly is not the case.

The best thing to do is going to be to read up on as many of those games as you can and watch the vids & screen shots from each one. I'm pretty sure you'll have no problem making your decision for yourself after that.

in my opinion, i think PS 3 is worth your money more than Xbox 360 Elite (you'll get the Elite if you plan to buy one right?)

here's reasons:

1) DVD vs Blu-Ray (which one you want?)

2) no Wi-Fi vs Wi-Fi included (which one you want?)

3) $50 XBL fee per year vs free online and HOME (which one you want?)

4) 120 GB HDD vs 60 GB HDD (which one you want?)

5) old generation HDMI output vs HDMI output that support real audio signal (which one you want?)

well... you get the idea.

1.Well ok blu ray may be better 4 games i am assuming cuz if u mean movies then i dont care.

2.No use of wi-fi to me.

3.Doesnt matter really.$50 per year is no big deal at all.

4.Well what does this have to do with gaming.

5.I dont have the required setup to take advantage of that.

In the end, a lot of the things you say sound like you would like a PS3 better. You don't like RPGs, so you wouldn't be picking up Mass Effect. Halo 3 is the only great, non tactical shooter for 360. Other than that, none of the 360 games appeal to me as much as the ones coming out for 360. There's a thread somewhere on here where a guy made a list of every game coming out, and highlighted the 360 and PS3 exclusives. The PS3 will be slow, but will have lots of good games coming out this Fall.

Congratulations. You've just allowed yourself to be influenced by the biased, inaccurate ramblings of a fanboy. 

Here's my 2 cents.  First off I own a Wii and 360.  I bought a Wii for 2 reasons,1.)first-party games are second to no-one. 2.)great potential in control scheme.

Now why I bought a 360 over the PS3

1.)Price.
2.)Games:

Gears of War (third person shooter, no tactics)
Rainbow Six Vegas (yes its considered a tactical shooter, but its completely different then the previous installments and can be "run-through" like a FPS)
FarCry (first person shooter)
Halo (if you're a fan of futuristic shooters)

I think when it comes down to it, if you're looking for shooters, go with the 360.  Any Adventure/action games are probably mutli-platform, meaning they're on both systems.  So the subtle detail of more shooters on the 360 (what I've listed is only the tip of the iceberg) should be your reason for a 360.

3.)Superb online (4$ a month)

I mean you're probably going to get the same responses.  But if you don't need an unestablished format (Blu-Ray) in your home theatre, then the PS3 is sort of useless considering most of its games including Devil May Cry (as I saw you listed) are headed for the 360 anyways.

Hope that helps

Well i have been out of touch with gaming news and reviews and all of that for quite some time now.But it's finally time now.In 2 weeks i will have the choice of either getting a ps3 or 360.I am hard on reasearch on the internet now.But i want the opinion of u ppl.I know very well this place and wont be basing my decision on what is said here but their r still plenty of ppl here who give out unbiased and intelligent responses.

Ok i am listing out my prefences in gaming and other stuff in detail.

1.Genres or sub-genres I absolutely hate=Rpg's,strategy and fighting games.I also totally dislike tactical shooters.Now it's not that i never play a rpg or a fighter it's just that i want to say that a console having whatever advantages in these genres just doesnt count for me at all.I usually dont like cartoonish games however that is not always true for e.g. i loved okami.

PS3 will have a wide variety of genres, as will the 360. In the end, the reason the PS2 won was the huge selection of games, and I think the PS3 will win.

2.My favourite type of games r arguably 3rd person action games.Third person action games like ninja gaiden,god of war,devil may cry,re4,gta,mgs and max payne r my favourite kind of games.However i also love first person shooters no doubt about it.I was very happy with my ps2 for a long time.But then i bought the xbox soley because i was very dissapointed with the quality of shooters on the ps2 and got the xbox only to play some damn shooters.So basically some damn action games is my favourite genre.However the important thing is that i would take a great 3rd person action game anyday over a similarly great FPS.

God of War 3, MGS4, Devil May Cry, GTA 4 are all on the PS3 (sure some are on 360, but not God of War). Killzone should also be a fairly decent game from what the press who have seen it are saying.

3.I also LOVE well made adventure games.I loved games like ICO and Dreamfall.However i dont usally enjoy every adventure game that get's good reviews for e.g. SOTC.I also like racing games quite alot whether it be burnout or forza or need 4 speed.In sports games i only play soccer but plenty of it.I also like platformers but only the very good ones.

4.What is my take on online gaming?Well the problem is that i have never played online cuz i dont have broadband but now i will have and cant wait to play online cuz i have waited too long for it.I dont know whether i will get addicted to it or not but the thought of competing online in a game in which i am good at and then climb the rankings certainly seems addicting.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune looks to be a great adventure game.

5.Even if a console has a graphical advantage it doesnt really matter to me because i know that both systems have the graphics to satisfy me.However if a console has a SIGNIFICANT graphical advantage like the xbox had over the ps2 then do let me know.

Neither system has a significant graphical advantage.

6.The higher price of the ps3 is no problem and the charges for 360 online is also not a problem.I am not concerned with any NON-GAMING activities of either consoles.

If u take the effort to read all this and help me out in any way then i will be grateful.Thanks.

Well, If we can all cast our bias aside... It is my honest opinion that this generation of gaming is blurring the lines of what one console has over another.  So let me first say, you really can't make a bad choice...  I went with the 360 on the basis of its projected game line-up through 08' its stellar On-Line service (musch better than Sony, few would dissagree) and the fact that Microsoft is being  more agressive this gen in capturing the attention of gamers and their doing it with GAMES... Their securing exclusives left and right and snatching Sonys out from underneath them.  Further, Achievments are awesome and keep you playing games long after you've beaten them.  Lastly, MS has a couple franchises and developers that I can't get enough of... Halo, Gears of War, BioWare games, Ubisoft's best work, Splinter Cell...etc... Whatever you choose, good luck, but the 360 is the real deal you can bet on it.

I know this probably isn't what you wanted to hear but I recommend looking over the lists of upcoming games for both consoles. Watch some videos, read some previews and decide for yourself. The biggest problem in your case from what I can see is that you have specific gaming tastes. It'll be easier to get a better answer to your question if you simply do the game research yourself.

Of course, I'd still recommend deciding yourself even if you didn't have specific tastes because of fanboyism but I'm sure you are already aware of that.
