Recently I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my PC but there are no PC games (with the exception of TF2) that I am looking forward too. I have had an Xbox 360 before when they first came out but sold it on these forums as I got bored with the games that were out at the time. Now I quite fancy a 360 (again) or a PS3, but each have their strong and weak points - the way I see it is:
360
Games that I want: Forza 2, The Darkness, BioShock, GTA IV & Oblivion.
Plus points: Cheaper than PS3, Has an official VGA/DVI cable (My TV only has DVI which supports HDCP), Microsoft havent shafted Europe as much as Sony, Elite version is coming out soon - could pre-order that.
Bad points: Overheating/GPU/3RD issue, Sounds like a jet, HD-DVD drive is an (expensive) extra, only 20GB HDD.
PS3
Games that I want: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, GTA IV, Oblivion, The Darkness, MGS4.
Plus points: Has blu-ray built in, new bundle coming out soon, nice and quiet, can run F@H, 60GB HDD, I havent had one before (could be a nice change!)
Bad points: Sony have shafted Europe, hasnt got an official VGA/DVI cable - needs an expensive work-around, Sony might be dropping support for the 60GB version, I havent had one before (could turn out to be a lemon).
So if you had the cash to buy either of them at the moment, which would you go for? I really cant decide, I would be taking a gamble with the PS3 as I dont know what its OS is like and if PSN is any good at all but then again I got bored with the 360's games, although it was just a dry patch as theres a few that I want now - Also would it be worth waiting for the 360 Elite version?
All input appreciated
