    Re: 360 to ps3 to 360 again?

    I made the switch to ps3 after 5 360's died on me and I'd have a hard time going back to just a 360. Especially with blu ray winning over hd dvd and The Show being so much better than 2k8. Though I do miss NHL 08 for the 360 and I'm sure I'll feel like I'm missing out when the sequels for Gears and BioShock come out. And of course, PSN is no where near as good as Live.

    I'm not sure yet, but I may consider buying a 360 again depending on how much better the PSN gets. I dunno...
    Now, more than ever

      Not me. I'm only going on my third full month of my 360.

        Re: 360 to ps3 to 360 again?

        I found a guy on craigslist in greenville who was looking to trade his bundle for a ps3. We're emailing back and forth.

        His 360 comes with:

        wireless Internet connector
        Wireless Controller
        Wireless Microphone
        Regular Controller
        Regular Microphone
        Call of Duty 4
        Assassins Creed
        Mass Effect
        Rainbow 6 Vegas
        NCAA 2008
        Madden 2007
        GRAW
        Oblivion

        my ps3 will include:
        Spiderman 3 bluray
        Motorstorm
        MLB The Show 07
        bluetooth headset
        wireless sixaxis controller
        wireless dualshock 3 controller

        The PS3 is alright, but I just miss the more games and people online the 360 has. I beat Burnout Paradise on the ps3, but it would have been more fun for me on the 360 most likely, because of Live. Also, GTA is a big reason I'm being pulled back to the 360. Live will make multiplayer epic.

          How many of those 360 games have you played already/do you like? If those are games that you want to play, that seems like a decent deal. Of course, you could sell off some of those games too. Is it an elite?

            Check the date on his system. If it's older than 6 mos I probably would not do it but that's just me. Peace!!!!

              Well what if this one breaks? Than you are back where you were before, frustrated and without a console.

              If you really want a 360 and assurance, sell what you have on eBay and buy a new 360 with warranty from BB. Just take your losses instead of buying someone else's 360 and risking losing even more money.

                Re: 360 to ps3 to 360 again?

                Xblive and the controller are definently better than the psn and ps3 stuff. For the mere 14 days i owned and went through 3 ps3's last summer (all of them havin somekind of problem). I found it difficult joining game with all of my 4 psn friends. Didnt understand why 20+ people games on psn network dont lag but when you try to play one on one the game gets disconnected or lags like crazy. The ps3 controller was horrible my fingers keep slippin off the triggers luckly i was already a season vet rainbow six vegas on the 360 i was easily able to own the ps3 noobs. Framerate issues, players with cheap bluetooth headsets echoing sound all over the place.

                Luckly i was able to find of the Elites in July and swap my pitiful sony product for that. Havent had a problem since and now i enjoy call of duty 4 with friends.

                Vic: Well, in one, one girl wins. In the other....
                Kenny: Everyone wins?!?!

                  Re: 360 to ps3 to 360 again?

                  I definitely miss XBL, Halo 3, Forza 2, etc. But I feel the same way about my switch to the PS3 that I did when I bought a Mac laptop a couple years ago: the thing just works. I never have to worry about dirty disk errors, red rings, etc. I'm still hoping that PSN will come around in terms of connectivity, as COD 4 is smooth as silk.

                  If I had a lot of money, I would probably own both. But having just a 360 would be too worrisome for me.

                    well he has a best buy warranty on it. So I could do the trade and just take it to best buy for a new one anyways. I just don't know how they deal with transferring the best buy warranty when you sell or buy the 360 from someone else.

                    Anyone know?

                      As far as I know, Best Buy warranties are transferrable.

                        I've flip flopped at least twice on both consoles. However the deciding factor for me to stay with PS3 was The Show. Also Blu-Ray and most games this year will be equal in quality on both systems now that developers have had some time on the PS3. So I Love/Hate some thing on both consoles, but I will probably stay with PS3. At least I hope I can finally make a decision and stick with it.

                          I fought the temptation in 2006 to buy a next gen console until all 3 came out...so after watching all 3 perform in the market together for a few months, I settled on the PS3 in the summer of '07.

                          I've flip-flopped in my mind a lot, but I've stuck with the PS3 up until now. But the system is only worth its weight in exclusives. Just about every multi-platform release looks better on 360, and up until a month ago, PS3 lacked rumble. I'm not a big online-gaming guy, so Live's silver package is better than PSN to me just because the Marketplace is more up-to-date with fresher, more varied content.

                          I've stuck with Sony b/c for $500 (after tax) I got 2 controllers, 5 blueray moves, a blueray player, free online service (for what it's worth), the ability to play all old PS2 games (I collect KOF) and The Show.

                          But I'm seriously thinking about buying a 360 for PGR4, Halo, DOA 4, Prizefighter and all the EA/2K sports titles. Plus I won't have to shell out an extra $50 just to get rumble.

                          I know these companies have promised that their sports games would be equal on both systems this year, but so far 2k failed to live up to that promise for MLB2k8, and I have doubts that EA will fare much better.

                            MLB 2K8 wasn't any better on the 360. In fact, it was worse with the freezing.

                            NBA 2K8 and CH 2K8 was solid on both systems. All the recent soccer games run at 60 FPS on both systems.

                            I think the 60 FPS issue is dead at this point.

                                When I went to return the 360 they said it can only be for a 360, SKU didn't matter.

                                Of course if you were to complain you can get store credit like I did.
