PS3 or 360?

[yungflo]

I only have money for a brand new 360, and it looks great! I'm not really an online gamer, although I appreciate demos and what not. I'm really indecided on what to get. I love metal gear online, and thats probably the main reason why I want my ps3 back, but I need something to play nba2k11 lol..

What are good games are 360? I'm not into halo, and all that fancy action jazz. I'm into shooters, stealth, etc. I'm glad MGS:R will be on 360 in case I happen to get a 360 lol

If your concerned about first part titles, and don't care much about online, then go PS3... better first part selection, and online is free.

And NBA 2K11 is available on PS3, so I don't really get that reason?

ps3 is $299, xbox is 199. So cost is a major concern. Though, I was just thinking about getting a used slim for about 200.

still indecisve. It seems that the gaming world isn't what it use to be a yr ago. I'm on all the gaming sites, and the exclusives and what not seem more of the same. halo this, god of war that. cod this. lol. blegh

Upcoming high profile PS3 exclusives:

Infamous 2
Killzone 3
Little Big Planet 2
MLB The Show 11
Gran Turismo 5
The Sly Collection
Twisted Metal
Resistance 3
The Last Guardian
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus collection

It's also worth noting that Mass Effect 2 and Left for Dead 2 will be coming over the PS3 as well.

And again, for you to get some of the roster upgrades to your sports game, you'll need that $60/yr Xbox Live Gold service, whereas it's free on PS3.

Besides, that $199 Slim is only 4gb of memory dude... you start putting demos on there and you're going to run out of space QUICK.

You said you wanted solid first party titles (and aren't interested in the Halos or Gears of Wars of the world), and don't play online much, so I just don't see how the Xbox would benefit you at this point.... spend the extra $100 for the PS3.

Re: PS3 or 360?

4gb? man, that sounds like robbery. I think i'll get the slim, man I hope they have a black friday special. I don't want to buy it used. prefer brand new!

Re: PS3 or 360?

Well you should weigh the pros and cons of both systems and make your decision. I have a ps3 slim now and i also had a xbox 360 and it was great as well. They both are pretty durable now with the new innovations being made for both. I never had a overheating prob with either. So you should figure out which exclusives you like better and maybe which controller fits you best. Since your not big on online play the free online play won't be big for you on the ps3. But the ps3 does do a little more than the 360.

Re: PS3 or 360?

The ps3 exclusive list is amazing there game studios are amazing for bringing in new titles.

Ps3 also has nba2k11 in 3d

Re: PS3 or 360?

personally, I'm not impressed by that ps3 exclusive list. Personally hated resistance, fun for awhile than boring. Exclusivity is never a concern with me. To me, most of them look boring and don't capture my interest.

its all about cost and what runs smoothly.

most people aren't playing exclusive games anymore.. if its not cranked out by sony entertainment or microsoft studios, its hardly going to be any exclusive.

sports and rpg's is my concern as well! couldn't forget about that! i have oblivion, I need to go to my friends house(whom I haven't seen in like 3 months) just to go get the gamesave off his ps3 lol.

I think I'll try the ps3, hopefully on black friday if I don't have to spend that money. Hopefully, I can get a great deal.

Anyone here bought a console on black friday? what was the markdown?

If you're into shooters, stealth, etc, like you say you are in that first post of yours, then I strongly suggest you take another look at that list (and at more than just Resistance).

Either way, good luck to you I guess, lol. I am having a hard time keeping up with what you even want here, so... yah.

People not playing exclusives anymore? Haha, c'mon dude...

Re: PS3 or 360?

Plus with the PS3 you get a kick@$$ blu ray player!!! If you watch movies at all that should seal the deal right there.

I'm in the same boat as you kinda. I own both right now and I'm trying to decide which system to keep. The only time I play online is with my buddies but that's like once a week on the 360. I'm not a halo fan either but I love the 1rst party games like heavy rain etc on the ps3.,

My only problem with the ps3 is the graphics on sports games. Other than that I would prefer my ps3 over my xbox.

Any suggestions?

yeah I just saw comparisons, and the ps3 looks an eye sore compares to 360s nba2k. Makes me almost want to pick up a 360, Yeah, its that bad for me. The crowd looks like a bunch of block heads


ps3 would be the most inexpensive choice in the long run, but quality over quantity..

i'm sill undecided. I hope they re-release nba2k11 and bring it up to gaming standards. Quite frankly i'm disapointed

I'm the same. Out of the PS3's exclusive list only Uncharted and The Show are worth it.
Resistance was boring and very similar to any other FPS you've ever played.

The 360 has more exclusives that I enjoy; Gears of War, Mass Effect (soon to be on PS3, I know), Dead Rising, Fable, etc.

Of course, it's all personal preference so pick which you prefer.

But having both, I have to say that I like the 360's dashboard, graphics, controller and XBL a lot better. Not only that, but I've found the 360 will play a lot more of my downloaded videos (avi's, etc) compared to the PS3.
And again, there are a lot of games where the 360 looks better and doesn't have as much jaggies or framerate issues as the PS3 - but companies are getting better at fixing this for the PS3.

But to each his own. Good luck.

Re: PS3 or 360?

I ended up getting a ps3, and have no regrets. There were alot of factors that came with my decision, cost, ps3 is 330 tax included, with no annual renewal fee online, so in the long run, much cheaper. I can be saving 60 bucks a year! My cousins all have ps3s and I know really, no one that has a 360 that I can game with.

Plus I have 9 games for the ps3 already, it'd be too expensive to reboot. Might as well stick to those nine games..and buy new ones when I can.

when i get nba2k11, i'm not going to be pleased with the jaggies, but i guess it'll have to do

anyways, my psn id is fl0wzcomfy

feel free to add me if ya'll want

i play metal gear online(my favorite game), bad company, streetfighter iv(be forewarned, not good at it) and gta iv.
