tkam Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 If you were getting a new game system which one would you get and why? Quote
philodox Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 ps3 - newer, bluray, I tend to like their games better Quote
tkam Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Posted November 16, 2006 I've been leaning towards the 360 mostly because I want Gears of War and partially because its cheaper. Quote
humanflyz Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I'd get the 360 as of now, because even if you want a PS3, you probably won't be able to get one, and the 360 is cheaper, more games in the library, proven online community, etc. However, I would eventually get a PS3 once the supply problem goes away.

hungrych Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 360; the PS3 is way overpriced and will be really hard to get, and I just can't see why it would appeal more than the xbox unless you want bluray or japanese rpgs. Quote
aerius Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 Buy 2 or more PS3's. Sell them for a massive profit on ebay and then decide what you want later. Quote
tkam Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Posted November 16, 2006 I had thought about that but they are going to be impossible to get. Sony had committed to have 400,000 PS3s available for the US launch, but recent reports say they are only going to have 150,000 to 200,000 available at most. Quote
ojnihs Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 PS3 for sure. I played one yesterday at a Sony Style store and it was drop dead amazing. I've played an XBOX 360 as well and I wasn't all that impressed. Plus I hate Microsoft with a passion. Quote
deepak Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 PS3. I intend to have one tomorrow. That I won't be keeping. X360 costing less is bullshit. After you buy the add on HD-DVD drive and wireless adaptor it costs just as much as the 60GB PS3. And the $50 a year Xbox Live, vs the free PS3 net. Quote
tkam Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Posted November 16, 2006 Except HD-DVD is useless and I don't want the wireless adapter Quote
humanflyz Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 I think if you are only buying a 360 for Gears of War alone, then it's not worth it, but then again, it's (relatively) cheap, so it can't hurt. But if there are other exclusively-Xbox gaming franchises that interest you, then buying a 360 is a no-brainer. The bottom line is: focus on games, not tech-specs. That's the reason I'm in no hurry to get a PS3, yet. Quote
tkam Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Posted November 17, 2006 Gears of War isn't the only reason I'm thinking of the Xbox 360, though it does have me leaning towards the 360 instead of the ps3. Quote
