What console should I get for my bday.
Get what you want, I'd go for 360 if I were you, PS3 has nothing good yet, wait for it to get cheaper, most of the other people you'll be getting biased comments from so just get what you feel is good enough for what you want, online gaming you want 360, for movies get PS3, it's up to you in the end posting here just turns it into a huge battle of "xbox 360 is gay" "if you like ps3 your a loser" and tbh it's getting annoying people constantly treating there consoles like they lost there virginity to them, research them, find what games you might find intresting and get the console that suits your needs
Wel the XBOX 360 is a great console, havent used the PS3 so i cant say bout it, but for a good console id go with 360
X-Box 360 all the way, Halo 3 Is out later this year and it is going to be UNREAL :D
360 imo.
The 360 is clearly superior (also it doesn't force you to spend extra on a built in blu ray player (which is crap))
put it this way:
you can either get an xbox 360 and still have the money left to buy a nintendo wii if that takes your fancy, or you can blow it all on a ps3, which currently boasts no good titles whatsoever.

Theres your answer.
360 ftw. The 360 make you want to play games more and more due to these things called "Achievements" where you gain points for playing the game and this builds up how good you are at games and so on.
Get the 360, ive got both but the 360 has better games and more choise. Most ps3 games are out in october, I saw the game release list that only game staff are ment to see :)
Next month is seeming pretty rubbish with such stuff as spider man.
Ps3, 360 sucks ;/
PS3 are cool, Never played Xbox 360
Go away, no one cares for fan boys tbhQuote:

It's entirely up to you in the end, don't let the opinions of others sway your decision.
What annoys me is when people say "xbox 360 is the best ps3 sucks" no one says anything but when its the other way round and someone says "xbox 360ucks ps3 is the best" people wet their knickers.
Get whatever you think you will enjoy most.
Playstation 3 dont get a xbox 360 reason is in this youtube video at the bottom & also the PS3 has 512MB of graphics & a 360 only has 10MB

at above^^^^ Its all true.
My 360 has been messed up ever since I played gears of war on it. It has no red lights but most games now crash, it ****** it well up.
My ps3 has been fine, no crashes, xbox360 costs less but will break pretty soon.
xbox 360 ftw ;;
watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R98qC0fd_1w
I voted 360. It appeals to me more. Better games, really, more exclusives.
But if you really like the PS3 then get it. It is 200$ more though.
Go away fan boy, doesnt look like you have ANY evidence.Quote:

In may xbox are adding a new upgrade to the live, adding messanger so you can play on your 360 while on msn. But Sony are adding the 'home' where your a 3D pixel where you can talk to other PS3 gamers. I would still go
for the 360 though. ;)
Lol, yea...10Mb of graphics :rolleyes: can I just say one thing...You're an idiot? If it had 10Mb graphics it could probably barly run an xbox game let alone a 360 game :rolleyes:Quote:

That isn't a reason not to get an xbox 360 tbh, 2 of my mates have had it since release and they've not had problems, I've had it about 2 months and no problems with it, PS3 does have problems aswell, not every console is perfect, I know for a fact that PS3 can crash and have hardware failures because just about everything does in the end, plus PS3 is a waste, all you're paying for is a 360 with a piece of hardware you will never use (blu-ray)Quote:

someone saying about the 360 breaking and ps3 not.
sony had an extra year to iron out their problems. microsoft may have released faulty console but they are solving the problem by replacing them within a week. i have had 3 xbox die on me but im not ZOMG!!!11 IM GOING TO BUY A PS3 COZ THIS KEEPS BREAKING.
people need to stop treating console like their almighty. its a games machine, its like when two kids fight about how good their dads are: "well my dads got a rocket launcher", "well my dads got a mini gun". just trying to top each other.
people should buy the console they want, not a console which other people want.
peace out!
Wheres the undecided.
well my mate has a 360 an ive got a ps3, and tbh, i prefer the ps3. and just to clear a few things up, compared to the 360 at launch, the ps3 is not that much more than an xbox.
1 xbox360 with 20gb hdd, wireless controller etc at launch price
1 hd-dvd player for xbox
total £410
1 ps3 blu-ray ready and 60 gb hdd and wireless controler
total £425, now £400 with xmen 3 blu-ray at gamestation
but seriously its up to you mate.
Funny, wasn't the launch price something close to £500-£600 for the PS3?Quote:

It depends what games you want. If you want games which you can easily play with family/friends without getting all confused; Go for the Xbox 360. If you want something which is so ridiculously shiny, go for the PS3. :) I have an xbox 360 and I'm gonna be honest with you, my first 360 broke. It sucks I know but I waited a week or so and ta-dah I have a new Xbox 360 and it never crashes, breaks or anything like that.
Personally though, I'd just save your money for May-June time as the 360 Elite will be coming out (A black 360, very cool) and it's got a new processor and everything to better the PS3. :) Oh and to all the PS3 boys out there saying about how their graphics are amazing, here's some news to you:
Consoles are about games, not graphics.
That my 360, PS3 and Wii friends, is where most next-gen consoles will fail; They'll forget about playability and go for the graphics.
Seriously just go for the 360, it may be a risky choice with all the negativity around it with crashing and such, but if you're lucky then you'll get a good one like I did.. Or just wait for the 360 upgrade ^_^
Ps. PS3 boys, 4D graphics don't exist :rolleyes:
360. www.Play.com Sells It For £290 + 3 Games Premium Package.
Saves Alot Of Money And Better Games Atm!
I'm an xbox fan myself. ;) And they are cheaper...
no one cars for xbox fan boys.Quote:

with it being the same colour as the ps3, bet it breaks before a month with its hdd being too big for its case.
Isn't the Wii still going for playability? The Wii-mote and fun games are what Nintendo care about. The graphics aren't that good on the Wii anyway "/ They're just right!Quote:

I don't think the Wii has gone wrong anywhere, Nintendo have never had perfect graphics with any of the consoles, well I think the N64 did because it was competeing against the PS1, Wii has good gameplay, I don't know about gameplots but I can't imagine many of them being very large or in depth but I think the graphics are amazing, they don't look real, they're not really meant to, they're smooth and make the games look more appealingQuote:
