Xbox360 Help[Rep Given]

Xbox 360

Advantage

- Wireless controllers (Only on Premium package)
- Excellent online gaming
- Commendable graphics
- Customizeable console
- Backwards compatible (Premium Package is best. Core Package does not support many of the games.)

Disadvantages

- System issues
- Overheating seems to be an issue (The 360s that are coming out in 2007 will feature hardware that gives off less heat.)
- Games look better on HD.
- Online community is very immature. (Hey, sounds like Habbox!)

Customer service right now is horrible for Xbox. If you're going to buy a 360, buy it in 2007 when all the bugs and issues have been taken care of. It's also been rumored that a price drop for the Core package will be taking place during the holidays.


PS3

Advantages

- BluRay Media
- Graphics will probably be better than 360. (But they'll probably be the same)
- Backwards compatible
- Downloadable games from past consoles. (Why couldn't Nintendo think of that?!)


Disadvantages

- Crap online (POV from what I've experiences on PS2.)
- Controller won't feature an on/off button to power console.
- There is no controller right now. (Disregard statement above.)
- Will be more pricey. It's already been said by Sony, to which they said getting another job would be the best decision.
- Sequels and prequels galore of past games.

The system will be like a 360 on steroids, but will have lackluster games. Graphics are rumored to be substantionally better than those of the 360, but proof has always been missing after such comments.

Yeah I'm sorta unsure wether to get one or not. I know the graphics are like amazing and atm can't be beaten but with PS3 out in 1+1/2 years that will rule! Plus most 360 games cost £50 and thats alot of cash for 1 game. Can you play like normal Xbox games on the 360? Also could you give me advantages//disadvantages of getting one as I don't know much about them +Rep given!

Don't bother with getting the ps3 I have an xbox360 & it's truely amazing although I only have just 1 game.

PS3 game's will be very expensive.

There arn't really any disadvantages of getting an Xbox360 although the price of the games & console is quite ALOT of money.

Thats the cheapeast I have found so far~is that cheap? ;D

play.com is normally one of the cheapest places too buy

Actually, customer services are really good for the 360. If you have a problem, they'll replace your 360 with a reconditioned models. There have even been cases where they have sent free games, controllers and hard drives back with the console.

The online community is really great, if you play with the right people. Xbox Live Arcade is a very good function the system has; Geometry Wars is my favourite game at the moment, but Street Fighter and Pac-Man have been confirmed to be coming soon. Demos are a really good idea too; it's helped me make decisions on quite a few titles - made me want Kameo and Tomb Raider, and shy away from The Outfit and Full Auto.

I can't see games for the PS3 being anymore expensive than on the Xbox 360. £50 is pushing it in my eyes, what happened to £35? I thought thta was alot..

If you want online play, i'd go with the 360, PS2 failed online and I wouldn't think twice about the joy of Xbox live :p

Because that is the estimated price and its always the most expensive. A waste if you buy the PS3 if you ask me.

[.:Subarusti:.]

i have a xbox 360, and this is what i have to say. It is the best console i have ever played on in my entire life. The games are around £40 now, and get xbox live, sooo sooo worth it. The PS3 couldnt hold a candle to XBOX live, if not the XBOX 360 itself, so i say....
Buy the premium package

P.S why are you still here, go go!!!

oh and neversoft once again i agree with you, and also, when the PS1 first came out games were £50 and the console was around £300. So dont call the 360 expensive, when consoles are new they are always pricey.

And I quote your sig - Revoloution And 360 OWNS ALL. Ps3 is just rubbish!

Excellent! ;D

PS3 will be more expensive than the 360, I think the BluRay Drive and the Processor alone cost more than the whole 360.
