PS3 > 360

[Phil W]

Anybody here made the move?

I've had a PS3 for a couple of years, and i've only really bought 3 or 4 games for it in total, i hardly ever play on it which really defies the point of having a "gaming" console.

I'm quite into the GTA series, and was dissapointed when the DLC was for X Box only.

My brother doesn't have a console at the moment, so i was considering giving him the PS3 for X-Mas, and getting a 360 thats on offer.

Offer is £194 for 120gb 360 Elite, 2x Controllers, Forza, Pure, Batman And Lego (ok, Lego will be poo and probably Pure too!), and Silver Live subscription. (30 days free Gold)

Worth the swap?

I've considered changing to a 360 for a while, the only thing i'd really miss on the PS3 i think is BBC I-Player believe it or not, i work night shifts and its handy when i get home to catch up on programs i miss!

Pro's and con's?

Thanks

I don't buy Blu-Ray films, haven't used the Blu-Ray feature on the PS3 yet. I've got a surround sound system which although is connected to the PS3, still hasn't really been used as a DVD Player.

X-Box seems to have the same games on offer as the PS3 and more (aside from Gran Turismo).

Plus point for me is that if theres a game on the PS3, i'll get my brother to buy it or go halves with him and pinch the PS3 back

The package on the Elite just seems too good to turn down..

Paying for Live doesn't bother me really, especially if you can get it for £25 legit.

I've got the console on reserve at a local store today so i've got a few hours to think it over!

Well i went and picked up the Elite today!

Pretty impressed with what i've experienced with it so far (Forza 3 mainly!).

Con's so far over the PS3 is mainly the console noise whilst running, installing the game to the HD removed this problem however.
