as title suggest had xbox 360 which died abt week ago decided time to get new console now b4 xmas panic sells everyone out. i enjoyed xbox but hated paying for live does ps3 online compare to ps3 and are games as good or better ?.

cheers
 
Really only difference in games is the titles which are unique to that particular format. Ps3= GOW, MGS etc, Xbox- Halo, gears. My view is bound to be a little biased because I own a 360 but i think the online is better for the 360 then the ps3. Though i still did have some good matches online at my friends house so its hard to say. Surely though if you allready had a 360 im guessing you have games for that allready ?
 
just ordered the 2 game (Lego Batman and PURE) deal and free Fifa 10 for £189 and hopefully that'll be a jasper too. getting mine for xmas but like you reckon nows the time before the mad rush and possible price hikes. looking at the ps3 it looks great but only 4 or so exclusives that do look awesome, uncharted, gt5, metal gear? prolly some more but xbox has great exclusives too. if you have loads of xbox games already maybe better off sticking with it?
 
And while it is now irrelevant, there is no chance in hell that either the Xbox 360 or the PS3 will sell out for Christmas. The Wii might if Nintendo try to short supply the market again, but even then I doubt the have the demand anymore to do that.
 
Uncharted 1 and 2 is already a reason to get a ps3
and of course other titles.
****loads of titles on 360 is another reason to get one as well.
Best of both worlds indeed.
 
Quick answer from me, as I have gave my views here.

If you have had one 360 fail already, are you happy to get another, knowing there is a good chance that too will fail in the future?

Live is worth the cheap prices you can find it online, would be nice if it were free, but the performance you get from it (download speeds/streaming content without a hiccup) makes it value for money for me (only twenty quid’s worth of value for money though ;)).

PSN does not match Live if you like to play with a group of friends and have a private chat amongst yourselves, a lot of the games also cut chat off during loading, which isn’t a biggie, but the 360 doesn’t do that.

The flip side to PSN’s failure though, is that it seems to have a far lower number of idiots playing, whereas Live never seems to fail with bringing out the abusive spawn camping idiots, most of which sound like they haven’t even reached puberty. So from personal experience, PSN has a better class of player, or at least it did have a few months back!

Finally, the games are pretty much equal when multiplatform, there have been a few exceptions and these were apparently down to lazy programming on the PS3 port (Flashpoint looked pap on the PS3), but both consoles have exclusive titles, which is why I got both.

Whichever you pick, you’ll be happy.
 
mine just arrived from a rather large supermarket and it's a jasper, *happy dance" w00t :D
it was the same price with or without Fifa 10, would've been rude not to have got it with hehe.
