360 or PS3

Am thinking about getting either a 360 or PS3 and i would value people's views on which one has the more to offer.

i would go for the ps3, it plays blu-ray.
i hate bill gates, he is the devil

I'd say Xbox, got a few free automatic updates the other day for the box and it looks well good now

Thanks for your advice BBB and SMC.

I have both consoles. The PS3 is far superior hardware wise, but game wise is where the 360 wins.

Xbox 360:

The back-catalogue of good games on the 360 is ridiculous and their exclusives are in another league, but the reliability is where the problem lies. Xbox Live is miles better than Playstation's equivalent (PSN) so that is a another question you should ask is: If you will be wanting to play online.

One thing is though is that the Xbox 360 is in it's last couple of years. So MS might be releasing a new console in the next couple of years whereas the PS3 has just been "newly" released.

PS3:

There are a fair few good exclusive games which are on this console (Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet and the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 to name a few). There a less cases of reliability issues for the PS3 and apparently Sony are excellent with their Support service.

The PS3 is also future proof, it has a Blu-ray drive built in so if you want to watch films in High Definition (and porn lol) this is the way to go, since the PS3 has a Ethernet port you will be able to update to the newest Blu-ray firmware. (Currently it is Blu-ray 2.0). The only problem with this console is the lack of games compared to the Xbox.

Personally I use my 360 more and I hardly touch my PS3, I only use it when I am watching films.

Hope that helps.

i wouldnt ever buy a ps. although my 360 has died with the ring of death so i probably wouldnt buy another x box either. poorly made pieces of crap

360 all the way, shame its assembled for 5 pence with chewing gum instead of solder, mines been ok touch wood, not a good idea to place it on a carpet though gets kinda toasty.. have mine on top of my PC not too noisy but could be a bit more silent.

Have to say i bought an elite about 12 months ago and it died on me.The whole thing collected, repaired and delivered back to me took 9 days with new motherboard.Great service and it didnt cost me a penny.Bill gates may be the devil but he knows how to treat his customers , im really impressed.

I have a PS3 and I have to say it's fantastic....the array of games is ever expanding, the blu-ray player is high quality, the ability to download stuff off the internet to memory stick and both watch and play them through the telly and ps3 is great, the online store is always changing, and the fact that you get all of that for less than 300 quid.....can't go wrong!

why if i had a choice i would choose the PS3 because that is my thing i own the original playstation and the PS2 just hoping the PS3 goes down in price soon
