PS3 or Xbox 360?

Postby Andyy » Wed May 05, 2010 5:50 pm

I'm going to be buying a console in the summer term, but am unsure which one to get.. more of my friends have the 360, so I'm thinking maybe that, but I've always been a playstation boy.. :D

What do you think?

Forget consoles, get a decent PC that can play games :-)

I'd say definitely get a 360. If all of your friends have one then its a no brainer :D You don't want to go online for it to say: 'No friends online'

I have an Xbox 360 and would like to own a PS3 as well but only for a couple of games I want. I've always been a Playstation person myself but as soon as I saw the trailer for Gears of War 1 I had to get one :P

LEP, Konoro is the only good game on the PC of course, what more do I need? ;-)

And that's what I thought, I think I'll be buying the 360.. :-)

Xbox is so much better, I would say forget about what console you have played in the past and weigh it up. I belive the main reason people buy Playstation 3s is because everyone loved the PS2.

I have all three next gen console and would rate the Wii over the PS3. I was majorly disapointed by it. There was alot of promising features and exclusive game comming but unfolded to be nothing in the end.
I dont like the way sony also take away features from the playstation 3 either.

Today online gaming is the way forward, I would get a xbox so you can play with your mates.
Applacation dev is rolling out on the xbox so you have things like facebook and twitter.. still no internet browser like the PS3.

I could go on all day about the two, I'm not a an boy of either company but I loved my PS2, never played a xbox, I find my xbox360 more enjoyable then the PS3.

Great, well I've decided on the Xbox due to the friends thing.

That's a great thing to hear, thanks! :D

Make sure you get (in my eyes):

- Modern Warfare 1+2
- Gears of War 1+2
- BioShock
- Mass Effect 1+2 (if you like space RPG)
- GTA4

:P Someone is going to reply with 'You missed Halo!'. I haven't played 1 or 2, got 3 on release and I still haven't been interested in getting much past the 2nd level :P I think they were cocky releasing it due to all the hype and how many sales they would make anyway! think the campaign is pants lol

You missed Halo! ;)

Thanks for the tips.
I'm thinking of getting MW2, Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2, Halo 3, Split Second, Assassins Creed II. Halo 3 is the bees knees for multi apparently, that's why I'm getting it.
God knows how I'm going to fund this. Especially when I've been told that I need to get Elite as it's much better.. :shock:

You don't neeeeeed an Elite :P The only difference is that it's black and usually comes with a larger hard drive as standard. It doesn't even come with a built in Wireless adapter or anything! The hard drive with the standard xbox is plenty enough now :D I think at some point... not sure if they've done it yet but they were removing the Premium Xbox (which is what you should get) and making people either get the Arcade (No Hard drive) or the Elite :P

I get a deal if I go with Elite, so I'm going for it. :-P
I'm getting Red Dead Redemption with it, looks really good.
