Im at a stale mate. i dont know wether to get a PS3 or an XBOX 360.

Its annoying, because its almost a 50/50 split between my friends on what to get, so i dont want a flame war. Ill tell you the situation, and you can give me pro's and cons. hopefully anyway, and if it turns into a flame war or any bickering comes into it could a don kindly delete.

Situation: Getting new TV tommorow + (insert console here).

TV will be within -cable- distance of my PC so i will be able to watch blueray/hd movies through my pc - thus negating the HD/DVD / Blu Ray debate.

Im a racer, so like racing games. Forza 2, Project Gotham, GT etc. But also want to play some good rpg's and fifa/pro evo. Mass effect looks damn good.

So to put it bluntly, at the moment the xbox is winning. Can anyone give me any reason to get a ps3 over an xbox ? In a nice non-flame way? lol thanks.
 
Final Fantasy, MGS 4 and Gran Turismo.

For me the 360 still has the edge over these though with all the good games out now.
 
At this point in time the 360 wins because of the games.
I have a ps3 and a 360 and the 360 gets played nearly all the time because of the games.
In your case if you are not bothered about blu-ray films the 360 is the console to get.

Why not keep it simple. List the exclusive games you know are coming out in 2008 (or existing ones) for both consoles and then decide. Anything multiplatform like football games will be on both formats.

There is other things you get free on the PS3 that you don't get on the 360, obviously Blu-Ray is the obvious one, but you have that covered.

Do you have a PSP?

I'd buy a PS3, cause its better.

I have all three of the "next gen consoles" so much like the forums most vocal Xbox360 exponent i am able to voice an unbiased opinion.

Possibly I have misinterpreted the final line in your previous post. It sounded like a joke to me mocking one of the members' views level of bias.

Apologies. Everyone's view is valid.

atpbx you haven't stated why its better, if thats what you think then cool - but in your eyes what makes it?

I would go 360 for the games catalogue, and the live system. i have both 360 and PS3 and my PS3 barely gets touched, infact its only been on about 10 times since i got it (~3 months ago)
 
Theres a few exclusives like:
F1, MGS4, FF13 on the ps3. Personally I think you'd make a better choice going for the 360 though due to the huge catalogue of games and looks like you've already got the blu ray etc. covered.
 
but region free gaming (currently) on the ps3 makes it sweet when u can get the games early from HK/JPN!

oh yea and if you like GT5, then really there is no choice to make, apart from whether to import GT5:P or PSN it!
 
If you like racing games, from what I have read there is much more support for different wheels etc on the ps3. However, at present, I think, the 360 has more RPGs (certainly english language ones).

Region free is a bonus as it means you can get your games early for approx 32 quid each. PSP connectivity etc is pretty damn amazing but depends on whether you have one.

360 has a better Live system, but that is all that I would say is better atm. (More games don't mean squat if you haven't got time to play them!!).

As someone who doesn't buy more than 1-2 games a month, and doesn't have the kind of free time that only the unemployed and students get, to play games, I do not find a shortage of games on the ps3. If anything my 360 has not been turned on for a while (but I have Mass Effect and Orange Box sitting here so it will get turned on VERY soon).

Why is the PS3 better. You state this but don't give a reason.

Genuine question as it is sometimes useful to actually explain these things as some of the reasons given may be in line with what the op is looking for.
 
List 20 great games on each format (interested in PS3 for Blu-Ray) also number of xbox failures is worrying, apparently too loud for movie playback (PS3 quieter?)
 
General consensus on the boards is going to be: go for the 360.

PS3 is great value if Bluray interests you, but if you want a system for gaming right now, 360 has the better library of games imho.

Live is also big plus for me.

Racing: 360 by an immense margin
RPG's: At the moment 360 wins but the PS3 should easily win in the long run
Football: 360 all the way
 
ive had both a 360 and ps3. Overall i'd say ps3, they are both pretty much the same, but i just prefer the PS3 for some reason :\

cant go wrong with either
 
I like how people say the PS3 is better because it is or for some reason its better, yet the xbox 360 has had positive descriptions why to get one instead of a PS3.

The catalogue of the 360 is immense and xbox live is a very good for online gaming and chatting.
