What Console Should I Get

to echo whats already been said

look at the gamelists for both, see which one has the most you like

As for the 360 being cheaper, if you plan on playing online the difference is non-concequential as you pay a subscription whereas for the ps3 you dont
What you save intially you leak away later anyway

You can get a 1 year sub for around £25. Hardly a deal breaker.

Getting to use the 360 controller is worth £25 in itself in my opinion.
 
I have had a 360 for years...And got a ps3 a few weeks back. The PS3 is better in every way imo, so i decided to recently flog the xbox. Ps3 has:

Better games (Loads of great exclusives)
Not as laggy online, and free!
The system is a lot quieter and less likely to go wrong
Plays blu ray, nice little bonus.

That's my opinion...You would need to try them both and see like i did.

Its cumulative, the last thing i would look at is the price for that very reason if the budget is reasonably open ended
The gamelist would be far more important (i.e. which one has more that you like), especially considering most 360 exclusives seem to end up on pc anyway eventually

Matter of opinion :p, i prefer the size of the sixaxis but the analogue sticks on the 360 personally if someone came up with a hybrid of the 2 i would be a happy bunny
 
Once again, the above has a good PC which echos my statement that i feel the PS3 is a better choice if you already have a gaming PC.

Shut uuuuup


I have a good PC (quad core, 4870, 4GB, W7) and I still think 360 is the better console. Please don't take ONE guy's opinion as absolute confirmation.

Meh, edited it out before you posed it but i'll reply anyway, i didn't say it confirmed it i said it echoed it. By echoed i mean backed up, not that it proved my point. But then i realized all i was doing was repeating myself hence the above edit.

Well it's been counter-backed up now.

<(*.*<) As a PC power gamer, I fully endorse the use of 360s for the purpose of console gaming. (>*.*)>
 
Current trends show that all games coming out on both are pretty much identical. nothing to indicate they'll be better on PS3.

When that occurs, great, but it hasn't been the case yet. Be it the "lazy devs" excuse or the "easier to code for" excuse currently the majority of multiplatform games are either the same or better on the 360, sadly even the ones with the PS3 as the main development platform. It may change, but I haven't yet seen much in the way for evidence of it.

I am pretty much platform agnostic but so far the 360 seems to have the edge when it comes to games alone.
 
Frosties!

Honestly Nabz, only you can make an informed decision based on your tastes. Have a look on metacritic, look at say the top 20 rated games for both platforms and see which one has the most titles that interest you.
 
If you are finding it that hard to make a decision pick up a cheap arcade and one of the £220 40Gb PS3's.

That way you are getting a PS3 and a 360 for not much more than the price of an 80Gb PS3.
