I made this a while ago, I think it maybe paints a picture of what you're getting

I'd go with a 360 though, has a larger fanbase and generally just a better system. PS3 has its own ups and downs, comes down to preference really.

It all depends on finance, PS3 if you can afford it, (games are expensive, quite expensive anyway) but blu-ray player, great graphics, good games, free online. But there's a problem with PS3's that happen around 18-20 months after purchase that Sony don't fix for free (£130!!!). Where as the the ring of death (the red lights) Microsoft fix for free, postage free. Just got mine back Microsoft are better at customer service.

No there isn't, it's your PS3 overheating, gotta take care of your baby.

Not unless you realise you can extend your PS3 warranty by a year for just £20, saving you all that £130.

Just get a 360 anyway man.

I've actually found PS3 games for the same price, except in 2 cases where they're cheaper. Also PS3s aren't that much more expensive, well they're equal in US.

No idea what that is.

Thanks for that, I'll read it. No idea how much of it I'll really understand though.

Money isn't really much of a problem, since I'm not the one who's going to be paying for it. I've heard that the games for both are really expensive as well. I guess I'll just pick a couple of really good games which will take me a while to complete, which is where this forum comes in.

If you have any mates who own either of the consoles, I would suggest getting some time to play them for a bit rather than doing what I did which was buy both of them before I had ever really played either. I ended up being disappointed with the PS3 but I'm giving it another chance so like I say, I won't try to insist which console is better.

I really wish I could try out both consoles to see which ones I like, but none of my friends are really into gaming. So I'm pretty much deciding based on what other people are saying here and on other forums about the consoles.

It sounds like you can play most of the games on both consoles, but the PS3 has better features which I'm quite interested in, so I guess I'll go for that.

RRP for all multiplatform PS3/360 games are £40, some retailers sold the PS3 version of GTA 4 for £45. Why? Absolutely no point, drove away sales, trying to stupidly draw more attention to the 360 version. Stupid marketing.

MAG is a ps3 exclusive. basically its completely online(?) and its 256 person battle. nuff said lol
