I'll take 360 over PS3 any day. For the same reasons that Bahamut ZERO posted. I still like the PS3 though. It has its great games. MGS4=Pure gem.

@ChronoCross: Actually, the biggest reason I got my 360 was to play with my friends. And let me tell you, it was money more than well spent

As for quality, recently the PS3 is coming ahead, but ODST firefight looks like me and my pals new gaming addiction

Have you guys actually watched the videos before posting? The Xbox 360 has so many techinal problems, you wonder what Microsoft was thinking. I know this, because I have a Xbox 360 that had a disc drive problem and I had to get it repaired. But this was my SECOND Xbox 360, the first one messed up due to the red ring of death. But I know 1 Xbox 360 game that is getting a PS3 port with a LOT of extras:Tales of Vesperia. It shows that the PS3 is much more powerful then Xbox 360. I want to buy this game as SOON as it comes out for the PS3.

@ClicketyClick-Is Enternal Sonata worth buying? I want to expand my small PS3 collection, and I'm looking for a great PS3 RPG.

Eternal Sonata is a great RPG.

My awesome PC is better than both. I may get a PS3 in 3/4 yrs catch up on anything I missed.

A port of a JRPG proves the PS3 is more powerful? How is it you arrive at this conclusion?

Because of the Blu Ray Disc, a PS3 game can HOLD up a lot of content. The Xbox 360 has a dual layer DVD disc, which cannot hold NEARLY as much data as a PS3. A PS3 game can hold up to 50 GB of data! A game has already done that, Metal Gear Solid 4. Go to Wikipedia and look up Tales of Vesperia, you will find out there are a LOT of extras in the PS3 version. I also read that the PS3 version of Enternal Sonota even has a few extras that the Xbox 360 does not have.
I think I will buy Enternal Sonota and Metal Gear Solid 4 when I have the money.
But, the videos have a LOT more information on them. I can't believe I have to type all this, when the videos have a LOT more information then what I told you.

It's not that it couldn't hold it, it's to make owners of the 360 version buy another.....

PS3 has its good games, but i think there are way better games on 360. these including halo, gears, etc.

One thing all PS3 owners have "conveniently forgotten" is balls-awful Blu-ray load times....Maybe balls-awful is harsh, but starting a blu-ray movie almost always elicitcs that "it is gonna load eventually....right?" feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'd probably watch/own more if the getting-started process wasn't so time-consuming. Games get similarly bitten by this bug, although I'd honestly prefer an extra second or two to disc-switching. And lossless audio may seem like a small issue, but for an audiophile it's friggin' bliss. Few things sound as good as a PS3 belting out smoothness to your surround sound system.

I agree--I honestly thing SSonic's point works in the reverse. One of the nice reasons to own a 360 is getting all those games first: Eternal Sonata, expansions for Fallout, etc.--we tend to have to be patient, although we get rewarded with tuned-up versions in most cases. You do occaisionally have issues like Lost Planet or Orange Box, where the company throws in a 3 dollar port job and makes every single issue with blu-ray data access appear simultaneously.

I think that successfully elicits a "Screw EA" Only that company could release a Half Life 2 compendium port that makes the games somehow seem worse than perfect.

Oops, my bad. Fixed!

The alternative is running a cable through TWO FLOORS, so yeah, I'd say I actually DO need wireless. Thanks for being so narrow-minded about my needs, though.

Also, you're right, I DON'T need a 120gig hard drive. I need one much larger, but Microsoft won't let me upgrade to one!

@metakirbyknight: You're shopping for USED Xbox 360 merch? Are you CRAZY?!? That's just BEGGING to be screwed over right there. Plus, you forgot to mention the Xbox Live fee and Play and Charge Kit (so the controller works like the PS3 one does out of the box).

See, we're working on the assumption that you want the best gaming experience you can get with your console. In this case, the PS3 is the better value, hands down. The 360 is only a steal if you have no need of online or a hard drive. And if you're that basics-minded, you'd might as well just stick with your Wii.

@stuffgamer
See, YOU need the Wi-Fi, but that doesn't mean everybody does. YOU want the larger hard drive, but that doesn't mean everyone does. You saying that anyone buying a 360 is going to wind up spending more than a PS3 is misleading.

The non-nintendo consoles promote isolationist gaming so I am not too interested in them anymore. Of the two, I'd take an Xbox360 over a PS3 anyday of the week

I'll get a PS3 when it gets a price cut and a slim version.
That's all I need and my next gen console collection is complete.

That abouts sums up my plans. Red rings of death turn me off. I don't care if they're good at repairing your 360, it shouldn't break like that in the first place.

i dont want to weigh in too much, i respect PS3 owners (one of my friends has one, i am jelous of MAG), but i have a 360 and i liek it cause i am a fan of Gears of war, Halo, and Fallout 3 which are 360 exclusives (i think, F3 will have a PS3 release sometime soon)...
just dont preach to me about how stupid i am for having one and how the PS3 is crazily better every day...all the time, like a guy i know at high school.

@Zenman the PS3 has Fallout 3. It was released the same time as the 360 and PC version.

ah okay, so i was wrong, the guy mentioned taht preaches PS3 said that it did not have fallout 3, i didn't know otherwise cause...well...i guess that slipped by me

• smacks self *

@Stuffgamer1: That's where I would care to disagree. As a gaming console, I think the 360 winds. But as an overall value package and addition to a home entertainment center, the PS3 is far superior.

And the 360 controller is more comfortable. I know I say that a lot, but that my friends is the damn best controller I have ever used
