Get a 360 instad

I am buying a PS3 next year was going to this year but money became rather tight pretty quickly xD

If you want a PS3 for a specific game, try get it with that game, I'm only buying a PS3 that will come with GT5 Prologe since it makes more sense than paying £18~ for a demox xD

[Monkwrestler]

If you are a MGS4 fan then get it but otherwise wait a while for prices to drop and games such as FFXIII,Resistance 2 and home etc come out

So you're spending all that money just for GT5? Dear..

At this moment in time the only games that I plan on getting for PS3 are GT5, Warhawk, Motorstorm and Ratchet and Clank, when more are released then I'll be getting them, I plan on buying a PS3 that comes with GT5 for free because £18 for a demo is way too much imo, I found one for £325 that has GT5 and any other PS3 game so for me that'll be warhawk or motorstorm xD

[GearsOfWar]

I think you'll be disappointed in Warhawk. And how can you forget MGS4? :P

I'm not expecting much for Warhawk, it's just something else that has interested me

and I hate MGS games xD

Get a 360.

Only get the PS3 if your really into sony exclusives. If you want multiplatform games go for 360. Also go for the 360 for online if you dont mind paying £40 a year or £15 every 3 months, its well worth the money.

[Fez]

Hey Neil, by the time you get your PS3, the real GT5 will be released (expected late 2009)

Xbox live is 100% better than PSN, i know what im talking about ive got a PS3

Does it really matter which one is better? Fgs its a console, I have a ps3 n use it alot since most of my mates have a ps3 and hate the xbox :]

I have both, you definetly get what you pay for in terms of online service. PS3 is improving though.

[Jack.Lfc]

People who say get 360, that is just your biased oppinion probly because you only have the one console. I have both consoles and the ps3 edges the xbox. There is much more to do on ps3 although the online on xbox is better

No need to snap ladies, I was merely saying, you can play online for free with a PS3 instead of having to pay :)

[Lubricant]

LMAO. Xbox fanyboy. Go back to the micrsoft forum. Coming here just to spread 360? SADASS!!!!!!!!!!!

[GearsOfWar]

Payed > Free.

To be honest if you're looking for a decent console I'd go for Xbox 360, I own both so I'm not biased or a fan boy, but basically PS3 you pay £500 quid, you don't get what you pay for but every last bit of the Xbox 360 is worth it. Dashboard and everything is easy to navigate and it's just amazing.

The 360 is a better purchase in just about every aspect at this point in time, you have way, way more exclusives on a 360, the games are generally cheaper, you do have to pay for xbox live but it's worth the money, you can do exactly the same with a PS3 as you can the 360 at the moment, unless you want to go into the useless extras - Blu-ray, web browser and Folding@home but those aren't important if you're buying it for games, people who say 360 is better aren't biased it's just the truth
If you want games NOW - get a 360
If you're fine with waiting until next year for decent games then go for a PS3

At the moment the only decent exclusives on PS3 are Motorstorm, GT5 Prologe, Resistance and MGS, those are not the only exclusives obviously just the only ones that seem even remotely worth the money you have to pay for them

ooommgg the first reply is 'get a 360'. Its called the SONY forum so whats the point if your not going to give advice to the actual topic. The fact of the matter is that the playstation is a lot more things rolled into one with free internet gaming whereas the 360 is for people who dont mind paying £40 for something that will just improve the gameplay online. I havent been on a 360 online but when i have played on the ps3 on mgs4 its been fine most of the time. Plus, it also depends on your internet and not just the network. Exclusives dont really bother me either because well, im sure that sooner or later all/most game makers (except for sony and microsoft) will, in a few years, make every game for all consoles

If hes decided to get a ps3 then please just leave it alone and give him advice. I heard their was a good deal at game for £300 but i couldnt find it unfortunately.

Just a slight exageration I think...

[Monkwrestler]

Quite seeing as at most it costs £400 and that is with 4 games included but by it self £300 and below and anyway you can always say you pay for what you get with your internet same with hardware seeing as the PS3 is more powerful than the 360 in specs
BTW why hasn't anyone mentioned drakes fortune that was pretty damn good!

[awelsh]

no

well if it is so crap and PS3 is "propa 1337" in your eyes then why are you asking us, if you played your brothers PS3 then you know what to expect dont you.

[-Eliminate]

just like all threads it turns into a 360 v ps3

anyway check out the main game retailers websites, they have good deals :)

best one = 299 for mgs4 + ps3 on play.com

[Monkwrestler]

i would agree with that because the MGS4 is the best game out so far for the PS3 BTW can not wait for resistance 2 and yeh every should I buy XYZ always turns into a fanboy war sadly
