So I'm going to get one of them this week but I still don't know which, thoughts?

X360 for me...But seriously, it's your own choice. The best way to choose is to check the exclusives for each console and then make up your mind. Sure the ps3 is a bit more powerfull, bigger disc, blu ray...X360 got better online service (payed true, but that's well worth it) and is also powerfull enough.

PS3 IMO, purely because of licenses and the controller.

Also the fact that you run the risk of getting the RRoD on the xbox, which sadly happened to me. Sooo ps3 yeee.

Not really true anymore due to their new chipset.

And IMO, Xbox360!

Xbox Live is much better online than the PS3 version. Yes, its £40 a year, but its well worth it. Plus you get amazing exclusives like Halo and Gears of War.

More and more ps3 exclusives are coming to the 360 : )

Not to mention most games are made for the 360 then ported to the PS3, meaning despite the performance difference, the 360 looks nicer and is more stable.

360, doh.

Xbox360 Controllers > PS3 Controllers
Xbox360 Games - PS3 Games
Xbox Live > PSN
360 is also cheaper.

WHY IS THERE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE? FAIL.

+1, f*ck these threads. pointless if you ask me and i always argue for the losing side apparently and get very pissed off when i lose .

Making things crispy clear.

Getting a ps3 because you can get it wrapped up in some foil?...Way to choose a console.

If you don't like reading the threads then don't, no need to be dicks about it. Creating a new topic makes you moan yet ressing a similar thread would also make you moan.

Just fuckoff and don't read it. xD

I'm going to get a PS3 :O

We already established these topics are useless. There is no point to these, its always a fanboy discussion. What has been said before does not need to be repeated.

Xbox 360 blaa blaa flame spam blaa flame spam spam blaa

I'm with Crumpets, PS3. Playstation Home is . The PS3 is more expensive but, I think it's great. The games that come out for it don't use its full potential but, it's still great. RRoD, you don't want that. You have to send it to Microsoft for like a month to get it.

ok... fine i'll be a team player and go for PS3, BUT YE BE WARNED OF SPAM!

What is the Red Ring of Death anyways? How does it happen?

Your 360 overheats and then the button that you press to turn on aka the ring turns red. And, you can't play games but you are able to turn it on.

It mostly means that your motherboard is fried. But you aint getting a RRoD with the latest 360's cuz of the new chipset or something. I had a RRoD twice, but it doesn't matter...Had it back within 2 weeks.

Oh. I leave my PS3 on all the time lol, never overheats. Its first gen too.

Exactly. If the same video has been posted 10 times over, it doesn't get any newer. Still old, been there, done that.

....and microsoft's big fix for this is to make the fans go faster. My xbox sounds like a damn lawnmower.
My ps3 is barely noticeable when on.

Sure dude, the only thing they fixed to prevent rings of death and overheating is making the fans go faster.

It may sound like a lawnmower, but it still beats PS3's ass in games anyday. How about that then?

Most PS3's are barely noticable, cause they're never on. When a 360 is near, that is.

And the secondlife rip-off is not gonna change that.

I run my ps3 24/7 as a media center/gaming and it's sitting right next to me on. Cannot hear a thing. My Xbox is also next to me and when it is on you can hear it anywhere in my house. lol

Now games that are multi platform don't count. So you must be talking about gears and halo?

Yes, cause those are the only games on an xbox. Go broad your view somewhere. Even multiplatform games get made for the 360 first, and then ported to the PS3. Now what does that tell you?

And stop being dipshits about the sound. I don't mind stating negative things about the 360, as the sound is rather loud. But hearing it anywhere in your house? right, rubbish.

Mine sounds louder then this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0LIkcKl3kw
If the multi platform game has a PC version then I doubt they made it for either xbox or ps3 first then ported it to PC. A good example of why it would be bad to port a console game to PC would be GTA4. Plays awful on PC.
Either way both the console will get the game so it's up to whatever they player likes.
Exclusives on the other hand.
