PS3 or XBOX360

[Oleh]

it acts as a bottle holder for me. does that count?

But yeah gt5 is pretty good MAG is a good game, shame about the terrible userbase and control scheme

Eugh, Gran Turismo. Sony sent me a copy to review and I sent it back.

Anyway, PS3. It's more than just a games console.

You found it that bad? :S

And yeah but MAG isn't really worth the buy now, since few people play it. You can still find a game but not the 256 player ones as told, infact I never even found one at any point.

No, I just can't stand racing games.

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 DLC content is more expensive.

I think the PS3 is the better console overall, as someone said above, its more than just a console (more so than the xbox anyway).

I have an xbox because more of my friends have an xbox over a PS3, so..
Get what your friends have, but if its about 50/50 id go for the PS3 in all honesty.

I spent a long time deciding over an xbox or PS3. Sorry if what I say has already been said.

I found that the PS3 was my preferred console. I looked at every single aspect, and honestly they are both seriously close. You should take a look at these videos, they are about 10 minutes each - and you can see whatever episoder you want - there are about 12 of them. The video creator looks at every aspect, from the design, controllers and games - to the hardware and reliability. The videos helped me decide what I preferred - and what was so good, is the guy who made them wasn;t annoyingly biased. Your friend will virtually always say to choose their console - but, if you do what I did, ignore the biased views.

Having both, I would say get the one your friends have. Or if it's rather mixed, a PS3. They are more reliable, and more recently have some pretty good exclusive games such as GT5. I find it a gamers console, the xbox is an internet based console - more social.

Feel each controller, most comfortable > buy that console.

I agree, PS3 controller is annoying, xbox is nicely spaced out. PS3's dashboard is really crap, havn't changed it since they released the PSP. I'd go for the xbox ;P

The appearance of the dashboard has always been what made me buy a console too.

well i have never purchased a console based on reviews either or pros/cons seeing as its a GAMING platform, doesnt matter if it has un-noticeably different visuals or better processing power, the games are based on user preference, id prefer gta san andreas over killzone 3/uncharted 3/gears of war 3/halo 3 because of personal preference not because some overpaid lark who is usually paid off by either of the 2 companies to give better reviews has said its "innovative". the playstation may have better visuals but on the other hand the xbox could have better games but the xbox could have better multiplayer capability but the ps3s is free. Yes the ps3 has gran turismo but who's saying the xbox wouldnt have it if it was around when the company was making it? it can go on, but if you have the chance, play each one for a week and then decide (i impulse buy consoles as i dont like fanboyism, although i sound like it, i hate it but im a hypocrite so..)
