Hi Guys

This is not a which is better question,it's just that I have had my PS3 since they came out,and I don't like many of the games that are available.

Being an FPS fan,I am told that an X-Box may suit my needs better,except for Gran Turismo 5,I can't see me using it for anything else.

I would like comments on the suitability of the X-Box games,and have the reliability issues that dogged the original X-Box been resolved?

Many thanks

Alan

Since you have the PS3 and a PC, what games would the Xbox allow you to play?

I am told that the X-Box is better for FPS games than the PS3,(More of them), the Halo series looks good and there seem to be more FPS titles released for the X-Box than the PS3.

The controls also seem easier to use,I do not get on with the PS3 pads and the Analogue sticks are not nice.

Just my opinion.

All I have to do now is decide which X-Box to get?

Yes but most of those are on the PC, whic he already has. Unless he doesn't play games on it, I don't know.

Well,I do play a few games on my PC,but I also use it for recording.

I bought a new Samsung LCD TV for the bedroom on Saturday,and as it is full HD,I decided to fire up the PS3,if only to play a Bluray film.

After the OS had updated itself,I had a look round the Playstation Store,and there were no titles that I was moved to download.

I bought a PSP only to find that the games were non existant,my Wife bought a DS and there are lot's of titles on that.

Seems like whatever I choose,it's always the wrong one.Ho Hum

At least if I had an X-Box,I would have more choice,that's all.

OK,so which X-Box do I go for?

I see Game have the 250GiG for £149 with 3 games.

Is that a good deal?

What FPS would you recommend to start with?

Hi All

There seems to be a lot of people here who have both PS3 and X-Box,as well as a PC.

Wife has a DS and I have a PSP,as well.

I am playing the Mass Effect 2 demo on the PC,downloaded it yesterday but,as I said I use my PC mainly for recording,so I don't want to fill it up with games.

I was attracted to the X-Box by the Halo games,and the PS3 by Gran Turismo.

Personally I think it would be nice to have both,surely there must be something to say about being able to choose which platform to play a game on.

Also,I have not read one comment on this thread saying that either systems graphics are better or worse than the other or reliability is a problem.

I still haven't decided definately whether to dive in or not,I think I will head over to the X-Box site and check out YouTube.

Thanks for all the comments so far.

Well mame,you certainly talk a lot of sense,and so does iv-tecman.I have spent the morning comparing the games on PS3 and X-Box 360,and I must admit that there is very little difference between the 2 systems.

Iv-tecman is correct when he says that I won't give a monkeys when GT5 drops on the mat,or possibly F1 2010,which is only about 1 week away,though I never did like codemasters stuff,but we will see if they have learnt by past mistakes and made the controlling of the cars more PS3 like.

I am not now going to rush out and get an X-Box 360,and if I do get one,it will be an impulse buy,though I must say Forza 3 and Halo Reach look excellent.

I shall go back to the Mass Effect demo and see if it can persuade me to buy the full version of the game.

I think a lot of my problem is something C64 said,"My only problem with the ps3 is that there's always a huge gap between the must have games"

That about sums it up really,I'm bored.

Oh well,next question is whether to get F1 2010 for PC or PS3?

Well if it's PC,I will need a Pad,I can't play racing games with keyboard and mouse.
