PS3 or Xbox 360?

[Gibs960]

Halo, Gears of War, Fable, Crackdown, to name a few others, their is plenty of exclusives on the xbox, not to mention all the arcade games, quite a few of those are exclusive as well.

Honestly PS3 doesn't exactly have a huge selection of worth while exclusives either, LBP, Motorstorm, Killzone and Uncharted are the only ones I can think of and I honestly think LBP is the only good one out of those.


Getting a console should be based on nothing more than what games do you want? Will you actually play it often enough to justify paying xbox live or would it make more sense to go free? If the only service you actually care about is online gaming then PS3 has that fine, if you want a better online gaming experience then the xbox wins hands down, not to mention the fact your friends have xbox, that's something else to consider.

Honestly I'd go for the xbox, it's cheaper, it can do pretty much everything the PS3 can do, apart from play blu-rays, your friends actually have them and the service is far better, paying £40 a year shouldn't be considered a draw back at all, it's not exactly like £40 is much money.

What about browsing the internet? As far as I'm aware the Xbox can't do that...?

No it cant, but the ps3 browser is pretty much useless anyway.

And why's that?

[Chris]

You're limited to what you can do on it, obviously theres no flash player (Youtube works though) and I'm guessing its quite difficult to navigate with too. No perks to using it all imo.

I remember using the browser once, and that was because my pc broke. It was horrible.

People buy PS3 because of:

• FREE ONLINE
• BLUE RAY

which means their friends have it too..

With blue ray, you have to BUY a blue ray dvd anyway so that defeats the argument...

xbox:

• yes you have to pay for xboxlive
• HD Ready

with HD you don't need to buy a 'HD Dvd'... Most TV's now days are HD so you won't have to buy anything else apart from a HDMI Cable.

If most of your friends have an xbox i say you get a 360,becauseyou'll have people to play with instead of playing with a few amount of friends or complete randomers.

Reason I got an Xbox 360 was because it looked more appealing than a PS3. Srsly.

I'm sorry but browsing the internet on a PS3 is not a perk, you can't do it while doing something else, despite being the "super computer" people seem to think it is, it's terrible to use and it's just slow, I'd sooner use my phone.

Xbox for sure, better security, games, online experience. Only thing it lacks is blu-ray, but who really watches blu-ray movies on their PS3 anyway.

Xbox is better

Xbox is better

Keep in mind that PS3 games are also made on blu-ray disks which can hold up to 25-50gb of storage where the traditional dual layer dvd that xbox uses holds about 9gb, which allows making bigger and better games. Uncharted 3 for PS3 just hits the maximum storage on the blu-ray which is around 50gb which is why you probably won't see it on xbox 360, and uncharted 3 is one of the coolest games i've ever played in my life.

About Security: Don't put credit cards on your console if you can't trust the online world
