PS3 or XBOX360

[lTraditional]

So, on Tuesday 25th January 2011, I will have my birthday - wooo! Anyway, I have only got one £40 present from my parents because they really don't know what to get me so to make it easier, I will be getting a Plasma TV (a small one) and a game console. I have already had XBOX360 however it broke so I am not sure whether to get a new one or to get a PS3 instead and I have never tried PS3 so I don't want to get it now and find that xbox is better.

So if you have either of the two or know all about it because you know somebody who has one, which is better. You may be bias but i'd rathar have an honest opinion and I know all the features for xbox however I don't know any of the features on PS3 except for Blue Ray so if you could tell me some then that would be great!

I want to know asap because tomorrow, I will need to tell my dad so he can order it online ready for it to arrive next tuesday (not the upcomming one but the next) so please tell me your opinions.

Thanks,
Sam

Whatever your friends have e.g all my friends have Xboxs so it made sense to get one over a ps3 as half the time I'm on party chats whilst on the computer, for games they've basically got the same so it's up 2 u

Xbox and ps3 are practically the same. I would say the the general online experience is alot better on xbox than ps3 because you can chat with friends in partys, etc. I would go with the one most of your friends play.

I say go on what your friends have, it depends per area. As where I live most people have Xbox but some have PS3. The PS3 lot normally play fifa and COD. While the xbox play COD quite alot. It also depends on your gaming experience and games you like to play online also. As if you play fifa online i would go for PS3. Though if you like COD xbox.

I suggest you go for what you like best. xP

Upload your iTunes to it. Playstaion Home! (It's like a virtual world) Loads more stuff on. Has to be better than xbox (Hence the price tag) lol. More people have xbox cuz there cheaper.

50% have xbox and 50% have ps3 and some have both so it is no difference. Is it me imagining it or can you go online for free for PS3 and for XBOX you do need to pay for XBOX Live and microsoft points!

Edit: Ben, you beat me! Anyway, that had answered my questions.

PS3 Online is 100% FREE!

Yeah you have to pay for xbl gold but ps3 is free. If it's 50/50 I would go for ps3.

Cool thanks. I know my mates were having a debate about it when I had the topic up LOL. I wanted other opinions by other gaming fans aswell as a group of mates.

I bought an Xbox 360 about 3 months after they came out and I've never looked back since! Online is great (as long as you've got real friends on your friends list), and as said above most games available on PS3 are available on Xbox or they have one very similar to it or better - Forza & GT for example.

A lot of people I know are saying they've got a PS3 and say that they enjoy PS3 but prefer their Xbox, which is funny cos my brother says his PS3 is better.

Either way I'm sure you'll enjoy the PS3 or Xbox!
