..never thought i'm come across so many fanboys on this site!! lol

 

Personally I went for the PS3.. the blu-ray and it basically does everything 'out of the box' that you need to buy extra for the sexbox to do..

Regarding the sexbox, it doesn't do wireless without a £50 bridge, it wont play HD DVD without buying an additional/replacement drive (unless this has now changed, tho it is now redundant anyways) and it wants £40odd p/a for online gaming. Tho I do rate the grafix and the controllers for comfort!

 

I recently dropped a 320g HDD into my PS3..an easy upgrade that then means you dont have to 'stream' anything :)

 

They both have pros and cons..but if it's gonna be free...I'd still say go for the PS3, free online is good if you aren't a committed gamer and the blu-ray is great t'boot. If you were buying..the price of the xbox means it is now very worth considering...

 

I have a Wii also.. personally, I never use it..only when a friend comes over..its great fun with a drink in ya!

 

 

Re: the comments for the sexbox being better online.. even if it is (cant comment as I dont own one) I would have to say.. for £40odd..i would really hope it's blinding!! Never had a single complaint on the free Sony service...

So...let's see what your comment does to the graph - Oh look, the PS3 is in the lead again.

having had 3 xbox 360's id still say id go for an xbox anyday of the week , although online gaming is a small £40 a year, the speed and servers on the xbox live kick the hell out of the slow and laggy ps3 , its slow and laggy because its free.

 

more games on the 360 aswell. but if you remember the ps3 was brought out a while after the 360 so therefore ps3 had time to adjust to the competiton.

 

my opinion over.

 

:p

I have both and chose the PS3. My personal advice is if your really not interested in blue ray then get the PS3 and...

 

Once you have it sell/part ex it for a 360 Elite.

 

The three games you have mentioned in your first post will all play on the 360. See compatibility list here

 

All round I find the 360 better for gaming. One years live subscription can be had for under £30 and is worth paying the extra.

Youve had 3 and keep going back?:(

 

And how much faster is the speed?

 

My mate has a 360 and when we are online there is now difference in any of the games we play

So if i offered you £300 or £200 with no strings attached you would take £200?

 

Some right nutters on this forum.

mate the x-box is out dated! soon they wont be able to produce games as toshiba have givin into HD and it will all be Sony Blue-Ray so unless Sony allow x-box to have there technology....good bye xbox. lets alsolook at the fact of how much better the PS3.

 

1. PS3 is 1080 bit not 360bit

2. PS3 has a Blue-Ray player x box dont

3. PS3 has digi optical output and x box hasnt

4. PS3 has built in wireless internet x box hasnt and u have to pay as an extra

5. PS3 has a motion sensor controler x box hasnt

6. PS3 online play is FREE and x box you have to pay

7. PS3 is silient as a mouse x box its VERY loud

8. PS3 is relaible x box isnt hence the red ring of doom....x box prepered for it to go wrong! lol

 

AND 9 most importantly!!!

 

9. GRAND TURISMO 5! 25/09/09 !!!!!! And x box cant have it!

Dont get me wrong the 360 is excellent value for money! But its just completely outdated now!

"You wouldnt buy a VCR player if theres a DVD player for a bit more"

 

Im a total gamer...more PC than anything with my custom built machine i made :) But i have also owned my PS3 for a while and its just brillient!

i see number 9 was missed out lol ;)

 

its all a matter of taste....try and see if have a play on your mates ones and go from there bud...

 

To be honest I had the PS2 and just couldn't get in to it.

 

I fear if I bought (and remember I didn't start this thread) either of these 2 machines, I believe they would sit there gathering dust :blink:

 

I think I lost my gaming mojo quite some time ago.

I wasn't allowed a console, i was on computers from age 4 lol.

 

When you guys were playing nintendo, i was making a spider run around the screen on my ZX Spectrum. I still haven't played a game as addictive as the james bond pack i got with my +2 (james bond edition or something like that).

 

Out of curiosity, would those type of guns work on plasma's?
