Is it worth buying an Xbox Pro/Premium for £199.99 with halo 3 and either lost oddsey, ninja geidan2 or blue dragon for free? I'd prefer a PS3 but don't have the money! I just want to know whether its worth getting a 360?:)

The people that only have PS3's will tell you not to get a 360.
The People that only have a 360 will tell you to get one.

After playing on my friends PS3 personally I prefer the 360, as most of the games I want to play are on the 360.

thats a pretty good deal as about 3 months ago when i got my xbox it cost me £230 for the premium xbox with GoW

but yeah from playing the ps3.. i'd say the xbox 360 is better hands down

See, I know for a fact that i would rather have a ps3, due to blu-ray capabailities. I think I will probably go and buy a 360 monday though because its so much cheaper :)

blu-ray is pointless
why pay like £10+ extra for a blu-ray movie when you can get a normal dvd for cheaper?

Because DVD's will gradually vanish and then you will have no choice? and also I will only also say blu-ray = bigger game I shall admit I have a bias opinion to sony but how can you blame me when I lost so many 360's to the RROD (BTW yeh microsft did pay up it was more annoying than pricy in that matter)but I also like:
Drakes fortune
MGS4:GOTP
Resistance:FOM
GT Prolouge
Motor Storm
Warhawk

I hate it when people use the RRoD as an option to get a PS3, PS3's break too.
All PS3 exclusives are coming to 360 :)

I got mine at Woolworths for £220 with 3 games (Fifa 08, Simpsons game and PGR4) so I would look around for better deals.

By the time blu-ray is common there will be a new console so there's your argument gone. GT Prologue isn't a game either.

Yeah but Sony owns blue ray so why would they let xbox use it in their new console?

If they just let their own console and products use the hardware then they're not going to make much money are they? Come on, think rationally.

If I was you I would stick with the Xbox360, I was playing it round my mates house yesturday and it totally beats ps3.

@Xvisor, I remember when the PS2 was realeased and someone said the exact same as you about DVD's, i believe blu-ray will become common within the next few years and im pretty sure there won't be a new console by then. Anyway, I plan on looking around town on monday then going for the best option:) Are there any games i should completely avoid?

What happened to GTA?
Anyway, The next xbox360 will surely have Blu-Ray built in and they are releasing an add-on for the 360 soon that allows it to play Blu-Ray Discs.
Oh and games to avoid, Jumper, avoid at all costs.

DVD is multi-format and HD-DVD is yet to become common. Blu-Ray was released way ahead of it's time.

Used to be a PS3 exclusive, everyone I know bought a PS3 for GTA and MGS4.
TehJoshy

I would suggest the 360. especailly with all the big updates and releases on there way.
Also. Alot of the Exclusives are still comming to the 360 rather then the PS3 from what i have read.

Buying a PS3 isn't a bad idea, i mean its a cheap blu-ray player ;D! but the 360 to me is more for your money.
Funya Chin

Weigh it up yourself, I mean.

If you look at the facts you'll see that the 360 is the more powerful machine however, the PS3's graphics are ever so slightly smoother than the 360. If you're buying it for the blu-ray player, don't bother because blu-ray discs are about £30 and it's not that much of a difference.

My advice is choose yourself because everyone's going to be biased.

He's buying a xbox anyway why are you guys posting why not to buy a PS3?
Anyway at PaulMaC
GTA used to be a Playstation exclusive not a Playstation 3 exclusive

Blue-ray is coming to Xbox 360. So Sony fanboys can ****. Even with my own console having blue-ray soon, i will not be forking out £25 quid for a movie, i can get for more than half the price! :D

And no, i'm not finding some link to back it up, search for it yourself, lazy person.

Blu-Ray = VHS
HD-DVD = Betamax

Look what happened there.


Go for 360.
Joe!
10-08-2008, 08:21 PM
I'd just like to point out that betamax was actually the better format with that format war. This time though, blu-ray has won and it is the better format.

DVD is multi-format and HD-DVD is yet to become common. Blu-Ray was released way ahead of it's time.
HD-DVD is dead?

The Ratchet & Clank series is one of the best series of games ever. It's just brilliant.

Wouldn't count on getting ratchet and clank. However its a sacrifice, worthwhile if you ask me.

Blu-ray won't hit anywhere near its potential with this generation of consoles, and the films are overpriced.
