Re: Next Gen System

There will not be a price drop until 2009 sony said .

I guess I better start saving.

Playstation isn't dropping out anytime soon is it?

Re: Next Gen System

The 360 is cheaper (big plus) and is better for online. I expect sports games on both systems to be virtually identical as well. However, there are three reasons to choose the PS3 over the 360.

1. MLB The Show. If you like to play baseball games, this is considered the best title out there.
2. Blu-Ray DVDs. This format has the lead in HD movies and if you have an HDTV this is a nice feature that justifies the bigger increase in money.
3. Don’t need a roster device. If you like college sports games, you won’t need to buy a roster device since a USB memory stick is all that’s required.

I'm still on the fence and the PS3 is very expensive but it looks like 2008 for me at the earliest for an upgrade. I would probably go with the PS3 for myself especially since I don't play online.

Forget about gang tackling...it looks like that guy tackled himself. That is advanced AI my friend!

Looks like the 45 yard line got him.

Re: Next Gen System

I voted PS3 because there have been so many problems with the 360.

Re: Next Gen System

If you're an online gamer, it's the 360, no question. If you strictly game offline, then it's the PS3.

Re: Next Gen System

Right now even without thinking online I think it's the 360. With online it's a no brainer. Also once there are games that people want to play on the PS3 and good playtime adds up then we can compare failure rates. Right now I wouldn't compare a 360 with many hours of running games to a PS3 system stuck at the dashboard. IMO of course.

Re: Next Gen System

Don't mean to sound Wishy Washy but Sully and Skyboxer are probably right. I'm a little frustrated because I owned THREE XBoxes and my current 360 is being repaired. At least I didn't have to buy a new 360.

Re: Next Gen System

The ps3 is the more reliable console 360s have been failing since day 1 and so far the ps3 has had a very low failure rate.With all the negativity towards sony I think they deserve credit when its do.I dont care who sells more consoles it dosnt affect me either way I enjoy both consoles and my 360 does get most of my playing time for the time being even though I have had to send it in 4 times.

Again you can't compare failure rates until the PS3 is actually playing games full tilt.
I'm still on launch system so I "guess" I've been one of the lucky ones.
In any case I know some people have had terrible luck with the 360 so in that respect I hope the PS3 does better.

Re: Next Gen System

Thing is MS cheaped out on the cooling system. I think the Gamespot forums some guy took apart both systems to compare the cooling systems and the PS3 system blows the 360 away.

It should due to the extra 200.00. I just need to stay out of the "Failures" topics because I admit I'm biased due to the fact I'm on a launch 360 system.
So for me if my 360 failed today I would go right out and get another 360 over a PS3 (if I didn't already have one).
I just hope the online is better by the time The Show hits.
