Epic Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I got a gaming PC yet no games to play! GTA4 coming out next week, Metal Gear Solid 4 on its way, Halo 3 already out... blue ray getting more known and online gaming been the next big thing. But what to get? do i get the cheap and powerfull well know 360 with its unbeatable halo 3 and online play. Or the tad pricy PS3 to big to put anywhere but is more set for the future?

hiten55 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 without a doubt - ps3. if not for anything more than the fact that blue-ray won the war. if thats not important to you then- ps3's miles better anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I've had a 360 for ages and very happy with it. I was going to order a PS3 simply because I want a blu-ray player, but I've now ordered a Panasonic DMP-BD30 BluRay player so wont be buying a PS3. Never get time to play the xbox as it is ! If I had to choose I'd probably still get the xbox, I know there's GT5 coming but I like Forza 2 and Race Driver:Grid comes out next month I think, they will keep me amused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebsteif Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have got both and both got their strong and weak points. Look at the lineup of the games which is most attractive to you. A pre for both computers is a nice plasma/lcd screen, if you you got an "old" CRT TV than you won't be able to enjoy the full out of it. What are your plans with the computer? play offline games? online? use it as mediacentre? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Iv completed Forza 2, great game! fair play to xbox for that one. but GT5 will also be another, as well as GTA4 and MGS4 would also look elite on the PS3 where as the xbox will only have GTA4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Most people on here who vote for the 360 is because they have one and don't want to admit they have the inferior machine. Its a male thing i guess lol. I don't have either but i will definitely be getting a PS3. Its by far the better machine and the fact that it plays blu-ray is the icing on the cake for me. PS3 all day every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 ps3 - dvd upscaler, blu-ray, better looking games, modern technology (unlike xbox - old technology), GT5 coming soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veilside Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Dont you have to pay to use Xbox live? indeed!! but yeah ive a got a 360 and its inferior to the ps3! but i will never admit it!! its a male thing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Dont you have to pay to use Xbox live? yeh but the money spend extra on the ps3 is more than 2 years worth of xbox live membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Only 2 titles that look any good are ps3 exclusive GT and metal gear solid if they appeal to you then the ps3 is your choice. Otherwise a wealth of games on the xbox 360. If you are definitely going to want blu ray then you are probably best off getting a ps3 but you say you have a high end pc, if it was me i would buy the blu ray reader and writer for that instead and get an xbox.

lui Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Xbox 360 mate got one said easy to get chipped & get all latest games for a fiver each instead of all this £40-£50 Larky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Yeah i have a 360 b4 and hack*d it my self to play copys but then you cant play it online so defeats the object abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Xbox 360 mate got one said easy to get chipped Thats the one thing, along with price, that the Xbox definitely has over the PS3. Well, the PS3 actually has that over the Xbox, as its working better for sony than the xbox is for microsoft, but as far as consumers saving cash goes its a winner for the Xbox. The Xbox and the PS may have similar titles but the quality of the titles will be far superior on the PS. All comes down to eyesight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS3 all day every day. 3 of my mates got a ps3, I got an xbox a month later. Within 2 months they had all sold theres and got an xbox. 1 reason alone to play online. They said the PS3 was no where near as smooth online and games often had frame rate issues which annoyed them. Give it a year though and the ps3 will be better though as it can do more things (not gaming wise), however from a gaming point of view the games look near enough identical if on both systems so cant go wrong. Its which one has the exclusives you want and also do you want to play online or do you want to play blu ray movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its which one has the exclusives you want and also do you want to play online or do you want to play blu ray movies. All your mates PS3's must have been broken then as its absolutely flawless on a decent connection. One of the guys in work bought a PS3 solely fo COD4 and says it blows the 360 out of the water. He has a PS3, an Xbox360, a Wii, an Xbox, a PS2 and a PSP. If you haven't guessed, he's a gamer and really knows his stuff. Again, its all 360 owners that are voting 360. As said previously, its a male thing. Everyone in their right mind knows what the better system is, they also know which games are better and what the best quality is going to be. Its not a question of what system is the best, its a question of how much money do you want to spend and what systems do your mates have for online play etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 but i played the 360and own the elite and i want to make love to it Ahh, that explains why there are so many fooked ones on e-bay!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a gaming PC and to be fair every decent game on the 360 hits PC (gears of war, Halo etc) You will end up getting all the games that come out on the 360 on the PC (I had 2 360's and got shot of them within 3 months). Use the PS3 for blu ray and exclusive games like GT5, MGS, Final fantasy etc, and use the PC for those 360 ports and FREE online gaming.

Either way i dont think youll be dissapointed http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-348-1.htm Long answer: Price, performance, visual quality, game selection and online support. I think the XBOX 360 wins in every category. Yeah and he aint at all bias. Noone in their right mind would say it wins in the above catagories.
