If you own both - what do you use more? Xbox or PS3?

Historically it's always been the 360 for multiplats and exclusives on both. Past year or so I've played them both equally as I've been buying up old games that passed me by the first time around. So, yeah umm...both...

360 for me.

Most of my mates are on it and just the whole online aspect is better. Inviting people into private chat when they are playing different games e.t.c.
I live a little further out and as a result my broadband is pretty bad ~2mb. With the PS3 I find it so frustrating. Turned it on last night, 400mb System update... 45 minutes later... went to the store, another 30mb update... the Xbox360 limits patches for games to *I think 20mb. You can imagine when I bought GT5 for the PS3...

PS+ does make the updating a hell of a lot easier though, I'm in a similar situation where I can barely push 1Mb so I tend to set my automatic update time for 6:00-8:00 AM which means my gaming sessions are pretty much uninterrupted when it comes to updates (and it really helps with the larger patches :p).

My Gaming PC

Am pretty sure by now that my PS3 & Xbox360 are just sitting there for show and are only really used for filling the empty spaces on my AV rack ...:D

Eggbox by far. Most of the people I game with play the 360 and I prefer the pad. Over the past 2 years the only thing I've done with my ps3 is play res evil 2 on it every now and again, trying to finish the game under 2 hours and managed to do it dead on 2 hours god damn it! :D
 
PS3

It's the only device under my TV, covering Play TV, Blu-ray, DVD and gaming.

Where as my 360 is in the bedroom for the odd game of COD.

I have both.

I had a PS3 when MGS4 came out - was pretty much the only game I only played. Others was Uncharted which I enjoyed and a good portion of the 1st Resistance - didnt really think much of it.

I have had a Xbox since release - had a lot of use out of it. Most of my friends use xbox - so the online experience is a hell of a lot better.

Recently my PS3 has been gathering dust. I bought Heavy Rain and played a bit of that, which was sometime last year - going to give it another bash at some point. But I have been using my PS3 more for media purposes, such as watching Broadwalk Empire - it is a lot better for this purpose.

So this is not to initiate a console war - just a question of what do you use more?

Bengaboy Bonus Question - With PSN+ - if you download a game that isnt available anymore, can you still play it if you have it downloaded? Or does it not allow you to play it when it has disappeared of PSN?

I was on the same boat as you I first purchase my ps3 but use my xbox more to due to better online experience.
 
360 as I'm addicted to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer one year on (perfect replacement for Resistance 2) even though I have a stack of PS+ games that I could play.

Xbox 360 for games. PS3 for BR and the odd exclusive. If a game is on both platforms I always play it on 360 as I prefer the controller.

Same here, if the PS3 controller was better then I'd probably sell my 360 as I think PSN/PS+ is much better value than Live and hardly any of the MS exclusives (Gears of War, Forza, etc) float my boat.
 
recently all my gaming has been on PC or PS3, in fact my XBL sub ran out yesterday. their has been nothing of interest for me personally on Xbox in over a year
 
I got both roughly 3 years ago. I've used the PS3 far more, the Xbox360 I only got because there was a good deal on including some exclusive games that I wouldn't get to play otherwise (PGR4, Forza2, Fable2, Halo3/Reach, GOW2 etc). In nearly 3 years I've only actually played two games on the Xbox, PGR4 and Forza Horizon, so in hindsight I shouldn't have bothered.

PS3 is much better IMO, more powerful, plays bluray, built in wifi, quieter (I put the Xbox on for the first time in over a year to play FH and my wife thought there was something wrong with it because it is so loud!). Although to be fair I do think the XB360 pad is better.

Obviously both are dwarfed by PC in terms of my gaming hours by at least 10:1

I used to have all 3 (PC,PS3,Xbox 360) until recently as I traded in my PS3 when the PS4 was announced as the deal was pretty good that I was offered. I used to play on the PS3 quite a lot as well as the PC but now it's just the PC and I have an Xbox 360 but I've not touched it in ages. It's not even connected. I think the Xbox 360 had it's day quite a while back when Microsoft stopped caring about games and more about being a living room device.
 
mmmm this is actually hard for me, Play both as much as possible a lot of my friends are like me and are in to FG's so I play quite a lot on the 360 as stated the MP side of it is brilliant add that to the party chat etc.

But i do spend a lot of time on PS3 due to the PSN+ crazy selection of games.
I would also get quite a few SP games for that.

I started off on the 360 then I got my self the PS3, traded in my old 360 then.
Most of my mates then got 360's again, so I managed to pick up another one quite cheaply (a lot of my mates have gone 'Hybrid' as we call it lol having both the 360 and the PS3) The main reason being that the net code for FG's is just way better than the P3's.

I cant really choose between the two, I actually love both equally, and I never loose out when either one has an exclusive.

Xbox for games almost exclusively.

I use my PS3 a fair whack though, just not for games. It is a lot quieter than my xbox (elite) and has BR, PlayTV and I have it set to use the americanese Netflix.
