far Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 been reading up on bothm wanna buy one of these but cant figure out which one to get based on games and price etc Opinions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I got a PS3, at the moment there isnt a massive supply of games but the games which are due to come out soon look to be good. I have F1 and Resistance Fall of Man, both of which are great, i have downloaded a demo of CM Dirt which is very very good. What sort of games do you like? For me one of the best features of the PS3 is the media part of it, you can have music playing and browse your photo albums while sitting with family, friends or both all on your TV, that side of it I think Sony got spot on.

Guest TheGuvnor Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well i'm a greedy pig and got both. But have been collecting consoles for a few years so i have a excuse ! lol In my opion i would go for the X-box 360 because of the price , the games.The PS3 is a great bit of kit but its gonna take a while for the games to kick in. and when we finally get the 20GB model the price will be about the same as the x-box. so go for the 360 the elite if you can afford it. or the halo 3 special addition when its out and buy forza 2 and lose days of ya life playing on it !! hope i helped Guv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 cheers guys, Im swaying for the 360 as there seems to be more titles out their, Wez im into car games (of course!) beat 'em ups and shooters. PS3 seems almost twice the price but in terms of the look and playability of the games it seems there isnt much in it Guv which console do you use most?

caliAl Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 But when you spec up a 360 to the same as a ps3 (hard drive, HDDVD, etc) do they not workout costing the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Which can play pirated games? And can they still be used to play online after chipping? I don't mind buying a console but I'm not paying £50 a pop for games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 360 without a doubt at the moment. LOADS more decent games. Better games coming out in the near future. Much cheaper at the moment. Better online. PS3 this time next year maybe but at the moment Sony are way behind the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 My PS3 cost £360 with two games, two controller and two blue rays. Purchased from HMV airside at Heathrow Airport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheGuvnor Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Far, i play the 360 more. The 360 elite has bigger hard drive than the ps3 and has hi-def out and still cheaper than a ps3. I'm gonna guess the 360 will be the 1st to be hacked cause people luv to pee microsoft off !! The only thing is PS3 has blue-ray player built in and you have to pay extra for the HD-Drive for the 360. Guv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Had 2 360's and got bord with them very fast. The PS3 however is such a better bit of kit. Hasnt missed a beat and is deadly silent. Plus its dead cheap. Got mine for £350. It has 60gb drive Built in wi-fi Blu-ray Quick charger for controler HDMI support If you got a 360 with all of that you would be looking at 500ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Halo 3 that's all i've got to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 what another medioca FPS that has "next gen" writen all over it? IE all show and no go Grand Torismo 5, Metal Gear 4...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 hmmm varying opinions here, I think the PS3 seems better value since it also has Blue Ray but the 360 has so many more games out there...this thread kinda helps but also confuses me even more at the same time!

Wez Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 PS3 is not made by MS, that should be reason enough anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Restorer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Bought my 360 at Christmas. Don't play it too much but got the ROD about a month ago. It's been with MS for over 3 weeks now. Based on my experience of the failure rate and those of my colleagues, I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one, until the issues are fixed permanently. Shame really, because xbox live and the games catalogue are brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ive bought a PS3 over a X box 360, much better machine, but i also own a Wii and thats much better than the PS3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have both. Go for PS3 and download Grand tourismo HD and play on drift. It rocks!!!!!!! I dont play other games on it yet but soon it will be well worth having! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I only really played GT4 on my playstation2, and only really played Halo on my Xbox, so I'll see what a mate that I trust buys, then buy the opposite and swap over every other month this time round with this generation of consoles, and like Jake says, the games cost a bloody fortune.

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Always been a PS guy, so I have the PS3, played the Xbox and at the moment the games are there for the 360 as it is has been out for longer. I have been reading around about the PS3 and some say that Sony are making a small loss on each of the PS3's they sell, and that the platform is currently very dificult to program for, hence the delay in all of the most eagerly awaited games coming out. The reason for the early release, when compared to games, was to get lots of Blueray players into the market and help Sony cement their HD player as the standard platform, sinking the HD DVD alternative. As for playing the Gran Turismo HD demo on my new 52" HD Samsung, all I can say is "Fook me it's fantastic!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 A I have been reading around about the PS3 and some say that Sony are making a small loss on each of the PS3's they sell, and that the platform is currently very difficult to program for, hence the delay in all of the most eagerly awaited games coming out. that's been said since console wars began! personally I will be getting a PS3. 2 reasons really.... the failure rate of the 360 and the fact the 360 has been out so long. We haven't even seen what the PS3 can do yet. How can you compare a console that's been out ages to one that's been out months. Yes it has more games but wait till the PS3's power is truly reached..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Playing CM Dirt on a 42" plasma with the in car view is great, I am sure GT HD will be better when its fully released but at the moment I prefer Dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Rumor has it that GT-5 will now have car damage and incar view! However that said PC is for the win! And will always be the ultimate gaming platfrom in both terms of hardware, online play and of course you can download all your favourate dodgy films at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
