    Re: PS3 or XBox360?

    If you look hard enough, you can get the online for very little money. I know I bought a deal last Xmas time where I got 2 arcade games, the live vision camera, 4 or 500 marketplace points and a one year live subscription for about $60. With the holiday season coming up, there will likely be deals like this one (or even better ones) to be had.

      You also have this rumor:


      My biggest issue with my 360 is uncertainty meaning that you never know if/when your system will brick. I'm also not a fan of paying for online service. Then you got MS dropping new skus every few months.

      I'm not gonna lie, I prefer my ps3, and I know the games will come.

      You can't lose either way, but in the long run, I do think the PS3 is a better investment.
      I agree with this. The reliability and the Show were the two biggest reasons I got a PS3. The 60 fps vs. 30 fps argument only really applies to this year as I expect everything to be at 60 fps for next year and beyond (and to me it IS a big difference - NCAA '08 looked a lot better on the 360 imo).

        You will have to pay for the online but you also get what you pay for.
        Hopefully 2008 will be a good year for the PS3 as far as games go (can't get any worse), but right now it's the 360 if you want a slew of good games to play.

        There have been some 360 issues with crashes but then again I'm still on my launch 360 so I haven't had any issues yet.

        I too have both systems and agree with skyboxer's comments. The 360 is by far my most used system but just make sure you get a replacement plan. That's a must.

          If you're a sports gamer, clearly the 360. After hearing today that NHL08 will be once again 30FPS on the PS3, there needs to be serious consideration on those who purchased PS3's to wave the white flag and trade it in. We were told this year was the PS3's year. EA has ensured that it will not be for some time to come. They have clearly made their choice in putting the max effort into their 360 releases. Now it's next year. Maybe. Maybe the year after that. I'm tired of reading 60 FPS on 360 games and 30 for the other guys. Maybe the PS3 IS too hard to program for any sports publishers other than Sony's San Diego branch office.

          I purchased a PS3 earlier in the year and am seriously considering throwing in the towel. One game does not a system make for a sports gamer (MLB07 The Show). Talk me off the virtual ledge, anyone, as to why I shouldn't trade for a 360 when it is clear they have the best sports titles out there.

            360!!! Im on my second 360, but i got the one with the falcon chip and HDMI. I just got it a week ago. mY FIRST one lasted a year. I also had a ps3 but i didnt like it. I feel the 360 has better graphics and xbox live is off the hook.
            NBA2K is the standard of sports games period.

              the falcon chips arent out yet, are they? i also traded in my launch console for the one with hdmi last week, but i wasnt aware that the 65nm chips were on the shelves.

                The new Xbox 360 come with a 3yr warranty against RROD failure by default from MS......Even the old ones are covered under that plan.....

                  Who's to say, really, since NHL2k8 was touted at 60FPS and ultimately barely struggles to reach *30*?

                    Re: PS3 or XBox360?

                    just my personal opinion folks..

                    XBox 360

                    Pro:

                    earlier release makes it the console to beat currently
                    Price was cool.. price drop is even cooler
                    more games
                    better looking and running EA sports games
                    XBL is off the heeezy
                    easy connectivity with home PC or home network
                    HALO 3!!

                    Con:

                    Im on my 3rd 360 at this point
                    overheating is an issue (get the intercooler EX, for 20 bucks its a life.. err 360 saver!!)

                    have to upgrade to larger HDD
                    HD-DVD is an add-on
                    XBL costs
                    game save and roster save issues
                    made of enhanced versions of current PC HW


                    PS3

                    Pro:

                    its a beast under the hood man!!
                    BLUE RAY!!
                    backwards compatibility
                    60 GB hdd out the box (going up to 80, and a new 40 value pack(?))
                    HDMI from jump
                    do not have to buy a xchange, or any special made memory card, can use thumb drive and usb drives, SD, Mini SD etc etc
                    more USB slots
                    no over heating issues (still on my first PS3!!)
                    once the learning curve is over.. the games will be amazing!
                    MGS4, WARHAWK, KILLZONE 2... etc etc!

                    Con:

                    Developer Learning Curve - need i say more
                    600 bucks! well thats what i paid for mine!
                    interestingly low battery life on the wireless controllers.. and the
                    fact that they do not automatically turn off after 10 min of no activity (360 ones do)
                    smaller controllers.. (personal thing for me.. i have big hands!)
                    Keep on Fighting don't give in!

                      Re: PS3 or XBox360?

                      If money is no object - then get the PS3.....The future is bright even if the present isnt and getting a Blue Ray player in the deal is great value - they are $499 as standalones.....From a technology standpoint I see them as a reasonable investment. I think BR is gonna win myself.....

                      Thats what I would do....and I own everything but one - a 360 and a Wii.....

                        Re: PS3 or XBox360?

                        I have both but I must say right now the 360 has the better games. I ended up buying the ps3 for mlb the show and thats the only game I have for it right now. Its a great game but hopefully as other games come out like Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo, then it might make my investment look better. If I did have to choose right now it would have to be the 360.

                          PS... I always felt the 360 was coming out too soon... And as far as quality I've never has a prob with the Sony...

                            if it is used mostly for sports games I would go PS3. It has all the games the 360 does, plus MLB the Show which is the greatest BB game ever.

                                OMG! M$ doesn't care about roster saves. They care about people cheating the achievement system because they've already had one contest about gamerscore/points and I'm assuming they want to do more of them!
