ok, I've managed to save up for a new LED TV, if I were able to do that, then I can surely save up for a new console.... the question is, which would be better... 360 or ps3?

I'd like your opinion why one is better than the other...

I know that 360 currently has more games than ps3 but I really want your opinion on other pros and cons....

most likely by april or may, I'd have enough to buy one and I wanna make sure I'd make the right choice....


(I'd like game recommendations as well)

even though i'm buying a ps3 soon, id have to say, buy xbox. more games, better online experience, the only reason i dont buy it is cause of the having to pay live (no job, no $ for online)

Most of the people I know who've played both prefer the PS3. As far as the games go, I think you shouldn't focus upon the number of games, but rather upon which games you'd be more interested in playing. In my case, most X-Box 360 games that I would wish to play also come on the PS3, while the PS3 had more exclusive games that I was interested in, so I selected it. As for what Raviel said about the online gameplay, I've never been one for online gaming anyway, so it didn't enter into the equation, for me. In the end, you need to evaluate what kind of gaming you'd like to engage in, then decide which console is better for your particular needs.

i got and x-box 360 and and ps3 both are good i agree with Raviel xbox has better online play but it costs money while ps3 is free onlineplay there one pro and con i aslo agree with andrew5 the game graiph in both are good but in all depens on what kind of game u like me im a huge halo so i lean more to x-box my self

My opinion on this has changed slightly over the years. In terms of a usable interface that allows you to move fluidly from music to games, to movies, etc, PS3 is still get's my gold coin hands down. Everything just seems carefully structured and easy to access. The xbox 360 on the other hand has given me a headache when trying to navigate. If you are a guy who for the most part has limited your self to FPS games like I foolishly have then the two consoles are essentially interchangeable. Nothing too different that's worth mentioning in that area.



It was the same case for me. You also may wish to take into account the last-ability of blue ray discs. Certainly more painful for your wallet, but those things are very hard to scratch.

I Guess there both good, because ps3 and 360 both have good traits and bad traits, xbox has lots of awesome shooting games like halo, or left 4 dead. and Ps3 has lots of awesome j rpg game. I know some j rpg game come out for the 360 but I feel more comfortable about playing rpg games on the ps3 Because I Play lots of rpg game, on the ps1 through the ps2 and now even the ps3, I'm kinda use to the square, triangle,X,and circle buttons haha.. so ya.. 360, and ps3 are both good.

Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, something the fanboys refuse to acknowledge. In any way, the developers choose the 360 as the lead console for their games mostly, because the PS3 is more advanced, thus it gets the ports. These are worse, in fact.

Of course, there are exceptions in which the PS3 got/gets the superior versions. The 360 has better Arcade games (download games) and it is able to install nearly every game onto its HDD; resulting in improving a game's performance in many ways.

Despite all that, I personally would recommend you the PS3. It has free online mode. Since I have both systems, I can tell you that both are equally good. Even though the xbox forces you to pay for it. There are also better exclusive titles and way more than the xbox has to offer. The controller is better, games are on Blue Ray. So, if an xbox game has like three DVD's, the PS3 still needs the one disc only.

There are great j-rpgs which are exclusive to the PlayStation 3. In case if that's your favorite genre. The system itself is also more reliable than the xbox. It even has options that can help you to fix it, if something should acting up. There are many great PSOne and PS2 games you can download from the PSN store, as well.
