360. You can even get any game for free on it. I'll send you the craigslist ad if you live in South LA or anywhere arund here.
I am probably one oof the few people who had their ps3 break bafore their 360. I got my ps3 in July 07 and it got YLOD in June 09. My 360 hasn't given me a problem yet.
Plus, MS pays extra for a lot of exclusive items. Ps3 is just getting DLC for fallout while 360 has had it since January. I won't mention GTA DLC since that game sucked. I bet MS wishes they never paid all that mooney for the exclusive DLC for that fest.
Actually, they were supposed to, but Bethesda delayed it until the end of September. Why? Because publishers/developers are openly punking Sony. Out of the whole pie, they're making so little off of Sony customers that the PS3 is more or less becoming an afterthought when it comes to DLC. So few people buy PS3 DLC that it's barely worth a given studio's time to develop it.
And you're right, that's just one example. I wish I could find the quote I read the other day where Valve more or less said they didn't give a if the PS3 version of The Orange Box sucks compared to the 360 version, because A. They could really care less about devoting resources to developing for the PS3 and B. They care so little that they rushed out the port with an outsourced, lower quality development team, and only regret doing so enough that they've decided to not make any other Valve games for PS3 in the future.

fallout dlc isnt very good. the pitt and anchorage were crap and short. 3 hrs for 10 bucks each. waste. i consider halo crap and odst is pathetic in that it will cost 60 bucks. its an add on that includes halo 3 maps. for that simple reason they are trying to justify the high price. the only reason to play a 360 exclusively will be l4d2. thats it. mw2 is on both sytems so is assasins creed 2,
Considering the recent Activision/Sony dustup I wouldn't be too surprised if mw3, isn't.
The Pitt sucked. The majority of the Fallout 3 DLC has been great. And whether or not you like Halo doesn't mean it's crap. I don't like it too much, but it's the number one played online FPS and to just dismiss it's value outright to make an argument for PS3... is logically incoherent. As is dismissing the Fallout DLC.
hey have you played the Point Lookout DLC for fallout 3 yet? if you have how is it?
And it's not really a question of which games are on which console anyways. The games are just a by-product of the relationship the hardware maker has with the software maker. So yeah, today it's just L4D2, tomorrow it's Half-Life 3.
tl;dr anything but the initial question
I bought a PS3, never once pondering life with an XBOX 360. My gamer buddies have XBOX 360s, but I'd rather play the PS3 exclusive games. I hardly ever play games for the online aspect, but MGS4 gave me a few good weeks of play. Online interface is pretty easy to use and it seems to have good depth even though I can't be bothered with all the download times...
PS3 is good for the exclusive content and advanced technology stuff, lots of cool things on the horizon for PS3 because it feels like an investment and not just a gaming system. If your girl had a PS3 and wanted you to buy an XBOX, my advice would be " no!" because if she split you'd be left with something that you can't use after this current generation of gaming systems. PS3 is better if you want something, um, long-term.
Nope. I'm planning on it, so if I do, I'll let you know. The reviews are good.
I agree, they were crap. The loot was worht it though. Broken Steel was very good, though.
the ps3 has the best graphical game out right now, KZ2. Apart from that I have to admit there isn't a wide variety of les coming out for it but the new god of war game is supposed to be sick.
I don't really use my ps3 except for blu ray
And i disagree, PSN is A LOT better than live because it never lags. You'll find that with the service you pay for live you will lag like as i always have.
Again, it comes down to you, i'm not much of a gamer, used to be a pc gamer a while back but it comes down to your personality and interests
If you're interests coincide with a better overall media expereince, get a ps3.
If you are solely a gamer, get a 360.
you should make a poll.
ps3.
just get an xbox already
Stupid thread, you should be able to figure this out yourself.
If you like her 360 that much and don't get to play one, or you want to play games against her online (Assuming you guys don't live together) get a 360, otherwise get a PS3 and you guys can swap from time to time.
The PS3 also has WAW, it just don't have Xbox Live.
Ive read the whole thread and your responses have been very helpful. Ill be buying a system this weekend sometime and as of now Im leaning for the xbox 360 solely on internet gameplay and affordability but it can change.
I love to play war games like call of duty and sports games like madden, fifa, nba 2k/live. fight night, etc...
Do any of you play any of these games? If so what system?
I would add a poll but I dont know how.
The thing about PC gaming is that I dont know about PC's. I used to play this one shooting game at an internet cafe sometime ago and now I only play civilization 3 online. Maybe when I get myself a better computer then Ill start playing some real games on line.I don't suppose I could pique your interest in PC gaming....
But seriously, it's the best way to game these days. To say nothing of Steam, which is an incredibly cool way to play, PC has by FAR the best graphics, the most control options, and an online experience that's arguably better than Xbox Live (for free).
With the next iteration of graphics cards, there will be absolutely no comparison between PC and console games. The 4890/285 series of cards from ATI/Nvidia have given the PC a wider than ever graphical gap. PCs will soon be able to run games at high detail levels that consoles cannot even load in a basic form.
