Xbox 360 vs PS3: What's the verdict NOW...

[snakeyes]

I must disagree with you my friend, the Ps3 graphics BLOW compared to Xbox and the Ps3 online is trash compared to 360

I must agree with Polish. The PS3 has a lot of attracting qualities, like blue ray and free internet.

But if you're planning on getting a lot of games and playing online, my suggestion would be the xbox 360. I've played COD Modern Warfare 2 and other games online on both systems...all i can say that the xbox360 online competition is brutal. I've played on the PS3 against other PS3 owners and it was like playing against children...In my opinion, the Xbox360 online gaming community offers much more competition.
but then again, it's just my opinion.

I've had the 3 rings only once, and i've had "heavy gaming days" turn into "heavy gaming weeks" since they fixed it and nothing so far.

My friend's PS3 just crapped out and he has to buy another one.

My xbox's drive is messed up and i have buy a new one as well.
But considering the amount of TIME i spend on it, i'm not surprised that it gets busted. LOL.

If you want a cool system with blue ray and free internet, then the PS3 is your best bet.
But if you want to join the best gaming community either on or offline and have MUCH BIGGER variety of games at your disposal, then the xbox360 shoulc be your choice.

By the way, Xbox 360 HD graphics are JUST AS GOOD as the PS3. It also depends on the game you're playing.

I don't see the point of getting an 360 when I have a load of PS2/PS1 games. Quite honestly, I think both systems have equal graphics. If I want to play online, I use my PC, where I don't have to pay a fee to play online (I already bought the game. I shouldn't have to pay additional fees).

On top of this, the 360 is insanely load. WHo wants a console that sounds like a jet engine getting ready to take off?

Go buy a bicycle or a canoe.

like i said before, if you want a video gaming system that has blueray and free internet, go get yourself a PS3.

I don't deny that the PS3 is superior in this aspect. it's even adequately priced for having so many different features.

But, if you want something you're going to be doing some REAL gaming in, get an xbox.

I prefer the Xbox 360, not because i'm hating on the PS3, but because i like to play against a more difficult crowd. And anyone who has ever played more than 2 hours on both systems will tell you that the xbox360 gaming community is more challenging. Also, the xbox has a lot more games than the PS3.

LOL! i live in florida, i can't ride a canoe anywhere without being attacked by gators

about the bike...have you ever been out on the road inside your car sorrounded by 1 million cubans suffering from road rage (i'm cuban as well..)? not safe. now imagine being in a bike...yea, definetly not safe...

[mainbutter]

gators, pshaw. I canoed around gators all the time when I lived in Louisiana. The worst that ever happened was a pissy water moccasin deciding to crawl in the boat and having a hell of a time lifting it out with the paddle.

Also the alligator gars scare the pants off me every time I spooked one of the big ones by getting too close, big splash and swirl as they dove to the bottom of the water.

I never had any actual problems with alligators. As long as you're not walking a small yapping puppy near the water's edge, they leave people well enough alone.

To those saying that you've had the xbox's for around 2 years and have already had 2 RROD's - How is that acceptable? My ps3 was bought the first day they were available and I've never had any trouble. Also, with the ps3 you don't have to buy a proprietary power cable or A/V cable.

Plus, now that the halo series is over, PS3 exclusives are the only ones worth the money now...Gran Turismo 5 is coming soon and GoW III just came out as well as I & II being remastered for HD. I've also not noticed a difference in online play. You can say that there are so many more on XBOX, but who cares? You can play with what...maybe 15 other people at the same time? Unless, you're playing MAG, another PS3 exclusive, I don't know of any that let more than 16-20 people per map.

Hi there,

I'm thinking of getting either the Xbox and the PS3 once I stabilize my employment. Prices for the PS3 are dropping here and although the Xbox360 is a LOT cheaper than the PS3 slim, there's only one thing stopping me from going "insta" xbox 360:

The 3 red rings.

From what I've read previously, it basically occurs when the Xbox "overheats" after say....2 - 4 hours of non stop gaming and ends up as a very expensive paperweight. WHile it's true that I occasionally see xbox360 repair ads and diff. claims from diff. techinicians ("I specialize in 3RL!!!), further research tells me that fixing the 3rl is not an exact science.

Feedback anyone? Should I go for the xbox splurge? Or bid my time for a ps3 slim?

Thanks

PS: I have a roughly 5 - 6 year old PS2 and I've had NO problems whatsoever; can i expect the same if I purchase either next gen console? (360/ps3).

ive played my xbox for 12 hours straight with no probs. as long as you let it cool down when it gets hot nothing should happen. BTW xbox 360 is 356765434567654 times better than ps3.

the halo series isnt over. halo reach is coming out then bungie is giving the halo franchise to another company...and we can expect at least 3 more halos after that.
