+7REP FOR ADVICE: PS3 OR 360?

[PaulMacC]

Depends which of your mates have ps3 and xbl and what your gonna use it for. If your gonna be just a gamer person and play with your mates go for whatever they have. But then ps3 works out cheaper if your gonna buy wireless xbl extra controllers a good headset etc.

You get a free controller with the 360 plus a free headset. Again, if you cant sacrifice £40 a year for a gaming console then you shouldn't be classified as a gamer as your probably going to spend that £40 on a bad game or shovelware (MW2 MadCatz Merchandise is an example) anyway.

But some consoles don't have online so therefore they're not a gamer? I'd rather buy a £40 game then £40 for online, but oh wait I can't play the game so the online is wasted.

Why do you think you need online to make a system. I've been playing my 360 this week far more offline than I have online. I've been going through Mass Effect again and that has consumed over 20 hours of my time offline. That is another reason you should buy a 360, Mass Effect :eusa_clap
Your all exaggerating about the online cost. £40 a year is nothing, you get what you pay for. PSN is terrible coming from XBL. When I played Modern Warfare 2 it seemed that 1/3 of the games disconnected, this happens I'd say 1/10 of the time on 360. It isnt my connection as everyone disconnects. I've have to update my PS3 for over 2 hours and I've only had it one week. They're basically the same though but I prefer my 360 seeing as it has exclusives I want.

What you mean those 5 that are only on 360 and the rest on PC (hint mass effect).

However I do agree about you don't need online to make a system, I've played MGS4 story loads and uncharted 2, MW2 and twice of GTA (but that was to see the different outcomes).

Right, nobody's reading the thread any more before posting so I'm going to close it. Like I said, I already have both consoles online so the only costs that I will have to worry about are if I want to get a headset for the PS3 really. Not sure if I should get COD for it as well and just start again.

Anyway I've kind of settled with just keeping my PS3 in my room and putting up with the hassle from my brother when I go in his room to play the 360 .

Thanks for trying to help guys, I'll try to give rep where I can x
