Poll: PS3 or 360?

[high_castle]

I've had a 360 for a while and I got the PS3 when the price dropped. Both are good in their own ways. My 360 is one of the Jasper models and I treat the thing with kid gloves, which means no red ring for me yet (knocks on wood). But you pay through the nose for lots of things Sony gives you for free (such as online play and a wifi adapter). However, the 360 also seems to have a lot more titles than the PS3, especially if you have one of the newer models without backwards compatibility opening up he library of PS2 games. Personally, I also prefer the Xbox marketplace over the PS3 store. There just seems to be more there. But for the actual playing of games...both are fairly close right now. PS3 load times tend to be shorter since you install a part of the game on your hard drive, but you can install on the 360 too.

Honestly, if you're getting a console, you should really look at exclusives. Do you HAVE to play Metal Gear Solid or Uncharted? Get a PS3. Are Mass Effect and Halo more your bag? Get a 360.

Between 360 and PS3, I would say that to me, the 360 is a better gaming console. Between the two, the 360 has the exclusive titles that I want to play (until Last Guardian comes out), and a much nicer controller design. However, God of War 3 will be appealing to most people when it comes out, and it's a Sony first party game, and the PS3 is a very powerful media centre, allowing you to play Blu-Ray discs.

The only advice I can give is to ignore everybody who foolishly tries to debate which one is "better." Look at the games library, look at the features, and decide which one is right for you.

Versus threads, not good.

If this were any other forum, a lot of people would have been called "F4GZ L0L" by now.

This, my friends, is definitive proof that this place has not declined.

And I would pick whatever your friends have, or if it were me, PS3 because of LBP, downloadable FF games, and lower mortality rate.

Aww shucks, I'm an example.

I love being an example.
