A Tough choice...

Hellfire257 · 28 Jan 2009 at 16:48

Well, as is, Im the only one out of my friends who has a PS3. They all have an Xbox, and I feel...well...left out. Im tempted to sell my PS3 and get a X360...Any thoughts? Is it worth it?

Joebob · 28 Jan 2009 at 16:49

Sometimes it's good to be different

But seriousley. If you feel like you would play online a lot with your mates then sure do it. If not then whats the point?

Hellfire257 · 28 Jan 2009 at 16:51

Hmph...Thing is, I dont want to spend any extra money...unless I have to. Its a 40GB Model and is in perfect condition.

Streeteh · 28 Jan 2009 at 16:52

You'll be able to get enough money from that to buy a new 60gig 360 i reckon.

Hellfire257 · 28 Jan 2009 at 16:55

I dont know what to do because the PS3 technically the best console, and I dont want to waste my time changing to a lower spec model. What would everyone else do? I like serious FPS (ArmA and BIA:HH etc), but I feel left out because everyone else is talking about the laughs they keep having on XBL and Im just silent...

Xboxs are dead cheap now. Just save up and buy one, whilst keeping your PS3.

Then you'll be the only one of your mates with both.

Seriously though. As soon as you sell it, you'll miss something about it.

Worth it! I only use my PS3 for MGS4 and a blu-ray/DVD Player

Get an xbox, simple as that. If you're mates play on live I'm sure you'll love it too

There's plenty of games to choose from too and the online experience is much better

Um what

But seriously get the console your mates have, the enjoyment you'll get pwning them online *cough* I mean playing nicely with them will mae it worthwhile.

Hellfire257 · 28 Jan 2009 at 17:02

hehe I get £5 per week...thats quite a lot of saving up if I get both. £200 really if I want a few games with it. So thats 40 weeks of saving :0 I'll have left school by then!
Soooo how much is a Perfect Condition 40GB PS3, 2 Controllers, CoD4, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Brothers in Arms:HH worth in total?

Ditch it and get a 360 it is no fun being different when your playing on your Todd!

The PS3 may technically be a better console on paper and specs, but the online experience of the 360 is amazingly FUN + amount of games on the 360 does give it the edge. Just because all of your mates has it and you get one doesn't make you a sheep!

Hellfire257 · 28 Jan 2009 at 17:08

I also have a (sort of) friend that is looking for a PS3...so that could be a bonus

msmalls74 · 28 Jan 2009 at 17:15

Get mates with PS3s?

Seriously its your choice do what you want, think a PS3 40Gb is worth about 120-150 trade in.

I need £200 though...

Thats like mine but mine will have games with it. Albeit crap ones =D

Edz · 28 Jan 2009 at 17:26

I would agree with everyone else about selling/trading your PS3 for a 360 as all your friends have one, but I would highly recommend grabbing Killzone 2 at the end of Feb before you do

You owe it to yourself to play Killzone before you get rid of the console.

That place is a competitor to OcUK, you'll get a holiday from the forums if you don't remove the link.

Save up or get a job is my answer!

If you only get £5 a week it's still going to take you over a month to buy a game that's been out for a year!

as an owner of both a PS3 and xbox i tell you what you'll miss if you trade PS3 in, the lack of sound, the xbox is SOOOOOOOOOOO noisy compared to the PS3 and there is zero dispute in that, thought it was just mine but every bloody xbox seems noisy as hell when playing a disc :mad:

stupid microsoft

I can honestly say I never notice the noise from my 360 when I am playing a game. Do you play with your sound on mute or perhaps you sit right next to the console?
