Schern Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've got both, I only really use the PS3 as a blu-ray player. However Gran Turismo 5 is coming out in November... maybe (it's been delayed many times already) so that's going to be a big positive. However the 360 has Forza which is very good. Call of Duty is available on both and IMO that's the best FPS if you want to play online with people. 360 has the better online service with Live but you have to pay for it. PS3 online isn't so good but it's free. If you want it just for games I'd go for the 360, that's what I buy most of my stuff on. If you want it to be a whole media hub and you're interested in blu-ray then go for the PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Get whichever one your mates have got, thats what I regret not doing, they have all got ps3s and Im on my own with my xbox.

deputy dog Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Go for the x box mate. PS3 is a way over rated blu ray player. The X Box online capabilities are loads better and although you have to pay for x box live, you always get a game, where as the PS3 online gaming is free but you can hardly get on it to play it. X box games are a lot cheaper to buy as well. Where as PS3 are nearly always top dollar for them. Graphics are near enough 50/50 when comparing the 2 consoles. IMHO X box would suit you fine if you just want to game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

955i Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) PS3 every time :unsure: Quieter Chargeable controllers so no need for batteries. Doesn't die due to being an inferior Microsoft product Free online gaming instead of lining Bill Gates' pockets even further for the pleasure Blue Ray player Controllers that fit in your hand even if you are not an ogre. EDIT: I have both and the Xbox has only been switched on twice since I've had it, just not a nice machine IMO Edited September 18, 2010 by 955i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 +1 for Xbox, get one of the new ones tho they are much quieter, have wi-fi built in so no extra expense for the dongle, and they've also solved the red ring problem.

Chally2 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Xbox for me. RROD isn't really an issue anymore and the elite box is so cheap now. I would however buy what ever your mates have so you can all play online.. Thats the best bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO X box would suit you fine if you just want to game. I have a Ps3 and I think it is great, I have never had much trouble getting online, dont know where that idea came from. I get very bored with games but cod 5 mw2 is very addictive, I have waisted sooooo much time playin that game lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet1747 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 As per the title whats the pros and cons of each? As the nights draw in I feel a must have purchase looming! It would mainly be shoot em up games and maybe a few racing games. PS3 we have 2 in our house free on line and no red ring of death (had 2 xboxs and both had the ring they are **** in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 PS3 - better machine, better controller, blu-ray player included, free online gaming and I've NEVER had any trouble getting an online game of COD MW2 going, always plenty of people about.
