Help me decide! Two consoles, two good prices...

Kristoph · 28 Jun 2007 at 14:56

Ok, I've got the following options.

PS3
With choice of Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis or Oblivion.

£360

or

Premium 360
With Fight Night 3, a choice of GRAW2 or RB6Vegas, 1 extra wired controller, 1 quick charge kit (includes 1 rechargable battery) and one extra rechargable battery.

for £300 (+optional extra of warranty).

Thoughts?

Tbh i would go for the 360 just because of the fact my PS3 hasen't been on for a good month as im finding it absolute crap atm! Waste of £450 in my eyes!

Get the 360, with the £60 saving you can still get 2 more games, or a year live subscribtion and a cheap game.

Which console do you prefer? Have you looked at the games available for each console? I have both and I'm thinking of selling my PS3 as I haven't used it in a month.

I like the 'apparent' reliability of the PS3, and the fact it has the blue ray player. But the amount of games currently for the 360 is pushing it, plus Xbox Live. I'm worried I'll be another person returning their console with 3 red lights. A large amount of the people I've spoken to have had problems, I only found out yesterday that my best mates 360 died whilst I was at uni.

Hello

Check out my thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17747039 it has lots of good information.

Also, where did you see a PS3 for that price?

RuMp3l4$k1n · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:08

If your a avid gamer buy the 360 , if your a gamer that only picks up a game every month or so then get the ps3.
I have a 360 because I like to fly in the face of danger lol

360 Obv.....

NokkonWud · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:22

Xbox360, more games (and in my opinion, vastly superior).

I get 10% discount in the supermarket I work at, so £40 off the normal £400.

ScarySquirrel · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:36

By the way if you get the 360 get R6:Vegas and not GRAW2

Shamikebab · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:40

not 3rd party support that's for sure! What makes you say eventually better games? I've seen nothing suggesting anything of the sort.

bigbilly50 · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:52

If you want a fantastic selection of games now then go for a 360.

If you want a fantastic selection of games in about a year then go for a PS3

smokedog · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:53

Reliability is a problem and for some people so is the noise. Mine is a launch machine and its not had a problem touch wood.

If M$ made a reliable and as silent running as the PS3 it would own all.

blueshift · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:53

if u want unreliability,, and pay for online gaming,, hardly any supprt,, go for the 360.

blueshift · 28 Jun 2007 at 15:56

Sony,s ace is they took there time, Microsoft rushed out there machine far too quick, to get ahead, and now we are paying for it :mad:
