Which one should I buy??? I keep weighing out the pros and
cons on both, but they're so even! What do you guys think?

i'd go for the 360, it's a better online community, it
really depends if your going to play online or not

Doesn't really matter. As you say they are both similar.
I love my PS3 but I don't mind my Xbox either.

i am considering a 360 for the near future but brisk said to
get a ps3 since it will have some reallysick games like
metal gear solid, but then, xbox ALREADY has at least give
games that got rated 9 to 10 on ign.com, plus it's a lot
cheaper.

i dont want to pay a load more for a ps3 just because it has
bluray. standalone blu ray players are becoming affordable
rapidly.

one game i'd really miss on xbox would be a new wipeout.

what kind of games are you buying one for?

Also, the Dual Shock 3 is out now so one of the major
reasons for a female choosing the xbox over the ps3 has been
addressed.

hah, IGN.com are rediculously biased. I mean the 360 has
some good games but they have given far higher scores for
some games than they should have.

Exactly!! I mostly like horror games, or first person
shooter.... call of duty 4 is awesome, the new gta isn't all
that great but I'm really looking forward to playing that
new game Jericho, which Clive barker helped make.

And yeah the rumble packs are a plus, but ps3 will be
getting those soon.

i read their reviews pretty critically since i buy wii games
based on them and for me 4 out of 5 times they are
incredibly helpful and spot on about many things.

besides that, all the games i just mentioned seem to be
liked quite a lot on this board as well.

Bioshock is out for the PS3 in a couple of months, Assassins
Creed is already out, GTAIV is out, Halo 3 isn't that good
and MGS4 is going to be something special, hopefully FFXIII
is going to be good anf Little Big World looks stunning.

Personally I don't like FEAR that much, which leaves Gears
of War the only XBox title that I would miss.

Actually I would get a PS3.

Jericho is shite...really it is, honestly.

CoD4 is indeed amazing. Resident Evil 5 looks as though it
is going to be good.

Where'd you get the idea that you can't play and drink at
the same time?

I'm pretty sure that in a month's time, zeitgeist will have
made sure that a sociologist does a study where he compares
the statistics for hardcore gaming and early signs of
alcoholism in young people, and finds a remarkable
coincidence. Mark my words.

Mark my words.

purchased an 360 a month back and i love it, was so tempted
to get the ps3 but went for value for money in the end,
nearlty half the price.

im addicted to gta4 just purchased ninja gaiden 2 and very
much looking forward to gears 2 res 5 and star wars
unleashed, true the ps3 is getting mgs4 but all in all value
for money xbox in my opinoin seals it, xbox live is superb
too

Oh, and get the ps3. The possibility of full hd, its
media-server capabilities, controllers that you can recharge
without having to buy extra stuff and the fact that it
doesn't fail quite as often should suffice as reasons, but
the fact that it actually has more than one game is also a
good reason. Don't be fooled: 360 games are all the same
game, but with different textures and sometimes an "unique"
weapon.

yea, i like clive barker and hellraiser and all, but jericho
wasn't very good.

resident evil 5 is gonna be the game for horror i think.
not sure what else is out not for 360. condemned is pretty
creepy, dead rising is more silly than scary & the darkness
is fps but has some horror elements.

i still play resident evil 4 and doom 3 from time to time.

I bought a 360 few weeks ago after a while of consideration.
Apart from MGS I'm not that impressed by the exclusives Sony
managed to scoop. Also I don't care about some Blu-ray,
multimedia-center box. I wanna play games and the 360 is
nicely priced for that.

Only downside to my purchase is it has this drive which is
the most difficult to hack drive of all X360 versions. I'd
have to chip it. :(

The 360 has an awesome library, but going forward, the PS3
is getting pretty much every worthwhile game and the better
exclusives. The 360 exclusives aren't as good as the PS3's.
Plus most 360 ''exclusives'' aren't exclusives at all,
they're available on PC. Can't play Metal Gear, Uncharted,
Little Big Planet etc on PC.

Plus the PS3 interface is just nicer, and like Drunko Mastey
said, it's a very good media server. And some models have
full backwards compatibility. And you don't have to pay to
play online.

GoDel- ''there's even some
metal gear! what more would you f-ing need? ''

Ugh, the NES Metal Gear is an abortion. But you can play the
REAL original Metal Gear on PS3 if you get MGS3:Subsistence,

Oh BTW Tragedy... Siren on PS3 is one of the scariest and
definitely the most difficult survival horror game. It's
very similar to the old school Resident Evil/Silent Hill
games.

I played the PS2 game and couldn't get halfway through it so
maybe it's too hard.

If you can afford a decent PC, PC/Wii combo is the way to
go. All the best games for the consoles eventually hit PC
(with the vastly superior mouse and keyboard to control),
and the Wii has some really fine games that you'll never
play on anything else.

Fighting and racing games probably play better on a console
than a PC, but the Wii has and will continue to see it's
share of those as well, so really all your bases are
covered.

they're both really good and i'm sure you'll be happy
whichever you buy.

i chose xbox360 because:

1. a lot of my friends have one (about 10 friends i know
have one - i only know one person who has a ps3) - so it's
great for xbox live.

2. half the price.

also, if you like horror games and zombies and stuff, then
you must check
left 4 dead which i believe is going to bean xbox
exclusive. 4 player co-op zombie killing game and you can
also be a zombie too.

If subtle, spooky sounds is your thing, try the PS3 or the
new Falcon CPU XBOX I read about. I don't own any systems,
but I know most XBOX360s are really loud, especially for
late-night/armored-curtain sessions. Remember when they had
those aeroplanes all of the time? (i ran soo fast!)

I chose PS3. Now that I have GT5 Prologue running at 1080p
on 46 inches, I know I made the right decision. Damn it
looks sweet.

PS. Italy! Wake up! The .nl's are humiliating them!
