PS3 or 360

[Tom1138]

Probably a battle which is still 50/50 but I didn't think I wanted either until my friend let me play his XBox360 with Bioshock. About 3 minutes of playing and I thought to myself, damn I want to a console. But Bioshock is only on XBox and my computer will not run bioshock to the level the 360 was running it. I always known I wanted a new next-generation console for GTAIV next year. But not sure which console.

PS3 has lots of options to it, wifi for internet and also you can use it without pay a subscription. Graphics are in most instances on par with the 360 and most games on the 360 are on the PS3. Downside I could find was price of the system and more importantly games seemed more expensive.

360 well the xbox live subcription bugged me a lot but the games are cheaper and with it I can play with my friend on his (on or offline) plus exclusive games like Halo3 (which i never played any of) and also Bioshock. But not sure in the long run which is better.

Either way I would want to get one sometime in October, i'd get the 360 elite if i went for the XBox mind. Maybe November depending on how much money i want for my holiday.

Any personal opinions on it would help as I find they're more truthful than reviews on the internet. Well not always but im sure you lot will tell me how it is

Next year is a little too long off really. Just this live subscription is a bit much on top of the broadband :-S will have to budget myself before i buy. Ok im a little over cautious with my money but it is a lot.

Read the bloody forums please!
Did you honestly not think this would have ever been asked before? It's asked almost daily.

Sorry just wanted a quick easy answer, take a chill pill mkay?

Well thanks for all the replies, not so much for the "OMG stupid thread" all I wanted is your views on the matter as it was down to pretty much the price for me. But if XBox360 seems to best overall then I think I will go for one.

Really its the overall cost as games are cheaper, most addons seem cheaper and from what I read if HD-DVD doesn't work out Microsoft said they would consider releasing a Blue-Ray add on so its a good position to be in for that fact.

Thanks for the additional replies I will shop around for prices. Probably will be the 360 but seeing as I am not going to get it for a few weeks then I would see what this big annoucement is. But I agree (as I have one for the pc) that the 360 controller is nice. Better on the hands for long periods of time.

Yeah wanted to know about that, I only have a DVI connection on my t.v would HDMI to DVI work ok? I work at a computer store and they have HDMI to DVI leads but not sure if it works for the 360. Don't see why it shouldn't but interested. Will the quality be much sharper than composite which I see on the Samung T.V's certain computer stores have to display the XBOX360.
