Please help me choose one of these machines. I really wanna have some sort of nice playable machine at home. But i cannot decide which one to get. Is it really worth paying the extra money for a playstation3 ? Games that I will play are some cool football games and GTA 4. Will it really matter which one I pick ? Chers and thanks. //C
I prefer the game selection on the Xbox 360 over the PS3. Although with the PS3 you get a Blu-Ray player for watching movies if you have a decent TV.
I have been a gamer and a xbox faN! i have been playing xbox and now 360 from ages! well GTA 4 is kewl i just wish i had a decent TV! mayb a HD... it all depends on your TV, if you have the right one then you will surely see changes! go for 360.. but Blue ray might tip off HD by an inch! Blue Ray resolutions much better! but i guess 360 is user friendly and you would enjoy the controller to play your GTA ! Hope the information helps .. cheers!
I have both, personally I find the 360 slightly better as a games machine the intergration with XBox Live and achievement points is great. I also think the XBox 360 remote is nicer than the PS3 one and I really miss having rumble on the PS3. Currently the game selection on the 360 is better, getting cheap games is pretty easy something that hasnt happened on the PS3 yet. The PS3 though is a great all rounder its a BluRay player so you get High Def movies, the games are great I'm loving GT5 Prolog and COD4 and its online play is free unlike the XBox 360 It is looking like GTA4 is better on the 360 though. If you want a pure game machine and if you want online play and dont mind paying for it I would go for a XBox 360, if you want a machine to play movies on as well as games then spend the money on the PS3, although try and find one of the older ones if you can as they come better speced. One additional thing to consider is what do your friends have? I have half my friends with 360s and the other half with PS3s and there is no way to multiplay across platforms, so I cant play with everyone at once. Also if you dont have a high def TV is it really worth buying either? Although as far as I know XBox 360 handles SD TVs better than the PS3. Jen
xbox 360 is good and I had one, but now I want to buy a PS3 Metal gear, final fantasy etc. is coming out soon
I had an xbox 360, but the red ring of death and got rid of it. Now I have the playstion 3. There aren't as many games, but I haven't had any problems with it yet.
Thanks for all the help, very useful. I have been leaning towards a xbox because of more games that are available I guess that will change though in the future. I didnt know that the games really look that much different between the two, for example GTA4 is there a really big difference ? I have a 42" Toshiba LCD TV (Full HD). Cheers
If you talking about buying it right now, go with the Xbox, but i believe a year from now, i would have said to go with the ps3. I have an xbox 360 and my friend have the ps3, and its a fact that we spend more time at my house...
Depends if you like online gaming. PS3 is free, 360 costs a few bucks a month. I have a PS3 and love it! Infact I'm on it right now posting this! If you have friends with a 360 and ones with a PS3, play them both and find out first hand which you like.
Yeh I think thats a great idea I will do some testing at a friends place today and then make up my mind. Just a bit worried when Jennip said that GTA IV seems better on xbox ?
PS3 has a tremendous upside. Next Gen Format winner, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear coming out, they released some kind of developer kit that is suppose to make it easier to make games on the PS3, and now there's DualShock 3.
This is the story I saw about GTA4 http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/05/01/gta_iv_resolution_and_uk_sales/ Saying that though, in my experience when watching someone else play you notice these things, when your playing you just dont give a toss. Jen
i have a xbox 360 but have never played a PS3 but price wise its got to be the 360 everytime, it surely can't be worth paying the extra.
those 90 lines might be worth it Jen. I will have to check that out a bit more. Since GTA is one of the reasons I am buying the machine for as well it should look its best. Regards to the price yes indeed I can buy more games and still gets cheaper then a PS3 I guess, but if I get a Xbox I will never be able to play singstar. But my neighborers will be happy about that Thanks.
