Right, I am in a slight dilemma, and I dont want this thread to change into a slanging match even though I may be asking for it. Please dont start!

RIght, I am wondering if I want a 360 or PS3, I am thinking is the PS3 so good will xbox just be thrown aside in 8 months time... Or am i SAFE for my next gen console to stay as the 360.

Thanks everyone, please again no slanging mathes ;)

Merry xmas! :)
 
If your pc isn't boasting a recent gfx card/cpu then i'd go for a 360 - Bioshock, Alan Wake, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War ........ it goes on and on.
 
At this moment in time id definitely be buying a 360 still.. including reasons such as price, title line-up
 
The only thing the PS3 could offer you would be a remake of FF7. and thats not even happening.

360 is the smart choice, cheaper, more games, more exclusives, more PS3 exclusives coming over (MGS4, or so they say), better/more experienced online service and so on.

I'll get my ps3 when it becomes economically viable.

Your point being ;)
 
That mus be a new record for quote to reply ratio :p

If you really don't mind waiting and can only see yourself buying one console of this gen then it couldn't hurt to wait to see what the ps3 has to offer. On the other hand if you want something now I really can't see the 360 doing a dreamcast in the near future :)

Merry xmas! :)

Bar a few exclusives, "Most" games will be available on both systems and will be essentially be the same. The 360 though will be cheaper, have more games available and have gone through numerous updates by the time the PS3 comes out. The 360 also has a nicer customizable dashboard and XBox live with all its content(which is growing all the time, the PS3 sure has its work cut out if its going to catch up).
 
I'm swayed by no loyalties. I bought an xbox 360 instead of waiting for a PS3 for these reasons


* it's here - now
* it's cheaper than the PS3
* excellent reviews of xbox live
* it's not tied to a next gen video format

100% why i bought one, and loving it.

Just had me mam playing on Lego Star wars, it took her over 2 hours to complete the 1st level bless her, but the smirk she had when she did it, and the laughs we had at her doing it was insane.

I can only imaging what the Wii could do for family bonding tbh.

360 is class mate, getting better as i get used to it. Was a PS fan meself, but the wait killed me, and good titles all over the shop swayed me to the 360.

You cant go wrong, at the very msot, PS3 will be 10% better than the 360 at its peak, that nowt, nowt at all.

I once bought the 360 but had to got rid of it. I have seen my friend played it a couple of times but personally it aint my cup of tea. My personal preference is a ps3 hence why i pulled plenty overtime and odd hours to buy one.
 
Even Better idea......

Get a 360 AND a Wii

Will still work out cheaper than a PS3 and you get the best of both worlds.

Yep, in my totally unbiased opinion being a playstation lover for the PS1 and 2, and not owning a nintendo since the snes aprt from a few weeks of gamecube so I could play my first Zelda in windwaker, I have a wii coming for xmas, and sold my launch 360 because someone offered to buy it for RRP a month ago or so (they needed one quick).

I miss it so much I am going to wait and see what bundles are about after xmas and get annother one I think, although the will will fill the gap for a while I think I want both!
I will not be getting a PS3 until it is viable to do so (looks like never but I wont write it off).
At the moment it looks like a lot of good games on the PS3 will come out on both, the 360 has a great catalogue already, and a lot of great exclusives. Hardware wise, anyone who thinks there is going to be much in it is having a laugh! Add to that the xbox's fantastic live, the only people buying PS3's are blind fanboys or ill-informed microsoft haters!
IMO of course!

gah! im so tempted to go xbox360. the only things holding me back are GT5 and FFXIII!

It would take a hell of a lot more than 2 games to make me wait for PS3!
Why not consider the 360 equivalents?

PGR3 or Forza 2 (Feb release) and Final Fantasy XI

There's just so much available for the 360 at the moment I can't understand why anyone would want to wait and pay stupid money for the PS3!?
Next Gen gaming is now!!! (so the ad says anyway :p)
