PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
Okay, see it's Christmas coming up and my parents say I'm allowed one gaming console. Seeing as a I already have a Wii and decided that it was either going to be a 360 or PS3. I want anyone who reads this and has experienced both, to give them both their PROS and CONS. Thanks.
P.S. I'm already leaning towards PS3 because it's free internet (please don't comment on that) and it's more exclusives. :laugh:

Xbox dude.
Better way to socialize in my opinion.
But your better off getting what most of your friends have.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
For future posts: Make sure when you give your opinion, try to back it up with facts.
My vote would be for the Xbox 360. I own both consoles but I rarely play the PS3.
Xbox Live has an overall better online community. Yes the PS3 online is free but I bet if they charged for it, no one would pay. Xbox live is ONLY $5 a month, that does not break the bank at all.
If you do not plan on playing a lot of multiplayer, or just like being alone then the PS3 would be a better choice. Most of the games were made for single player gaming. Such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 1 and 2, Little Big Planet, etc. Some games have multiplayer but I don't like them. Games such as Resistance are too hectic when playing online, it is complete chaos and it is mainly because there are too many players.
This is all in my opinion, have fun with whatever console you decide to get.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
Thanks for everyone's opinion. Most of my friends have 360s but I'm afraid that when I get one, I will get the Red Ring. I don't want to waste money on a prone-to-overheating investment.
Edit: I want to play Socom Confrontation (I know that all the 360 fan boys are going to be like "dude that sucks, why don't you go play COD", but I actually like the multiplayer experience. I will buy COD anyways)

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
Most of the newer 360 consoles do not get the red ring that easily. I have had my Elite since they came out and I have not got the red ring of death. Even if you did rrod it, Microsoft will fix it for free. But if you like socom that much to get a PS3, have fun. Just know that I have heard nothing good about the multiplayer experience on the PS3. I am planning on buying one in the future but for the campaign type games.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
Ps3. Yo umust get a ps3. Better graphics, better games, Way better than 360. My friend bought a elite and 2 days afte he got 4 red rings.... My friend bought his ps3 like 2 years ago and he still likes it and nothing has gone wrong with it.

Off topic:
I live in Australia and I'm now going to buy PS3 (because of better exclusives) and wanted to know, how am I going to get SOCOM Confrontation? I hear that you can't buy the game in retail here down under,l but you need to download, which I think you need to pay for. Can someone give me exact details
On topic: Thanks alot but I still cannot cope with an awaiting overheating time bomb to go off.

You get a 3 year warranty I believe with the 360. Or maybe it's just 1 year. If it doesn't break by the time your warranty is up and you don't leave it on all day it isn't going to break. The XClamp problem has been fixed and will no longer happen on the newer models.

It's 1 year, but if you get E74 or RROD the warranty is extended to 3 years.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
PS3= Really good features, many good games, some great exclusives
360= Very fun online experience, not many good features, TONS of good games, alot of great exclusives
If i were you, I would go with what your friends play. 360 is really fun to play with friends

WRONG. The 360 has had more time to develop, plus MS is better at software programing than sony. I'd say the 360 has a lot more features.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
I feel ya man
I just got my first paycheck and is either planning on getting a PS3 or Xbox 360
I am going for the Xbox
Why?
I read a 3-year article from a programmer for both the PS3 and Xbox 360
Like how people say the PS3 is more powerful than the xbox....
bullshit
The Xbox 360 is more powerful due to the fact that the PS3's cells are MORE harder to program for, whilst the Xbox's is easier.
Kinda like saying the PS3 hasn't seen the hardcore gaming we'd expect while the Xbox already maxed out.
As soon as develpors start to get used to the way the PS3 works, the more they will make and the more they will take FULL advantaged of the Systems resources.
Xbox may need to pay for internet, but it is worth it through all the online features.
Also, all my friends have it and play COD
it wouldn't make sense for me to get a ps3 now would it...
Also, now I just read this, but At least MS is "trying" to help its players
By that I mean if You get a RROD, MS will replace it for free, while Sony will just charge you, claiming it was YOUR fault for breaking it.
Also, I found a Xbox for 139 Bucks!!!!
Cheapest Ps3 I found was for 299
and my paycheck was 269....
Think about it
(oh and if I trade in ALL my games (psp, ps2, gamecube, ect...) at gamestop, I bet i can get it even cheaper (cause thats how I got my psp cheap(er) )
Well there you go, buy a Xbox, it will be worth it in the long run (plus you can play most of your old xbox games, while the PS3 stopped the backwards compatibility)
Edit:
oh and still have enough to get a game or two :)

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
The 360 has a 80% chance of deffect thats includes the RROD and yes its a re-call and there trying to clean it up but the ps3 only has a 10% chance of deffect and yes you can get one with a warrenty might cost you a little but still....and to me i would go ps3 because i think the ps3 is more old school (to me) and i think they focus more on realisticness other then the 360 who (i think) focus's on the graphics more then anything and fantasy like halo and gears of war...Im not a big Duty fan and thats what everyone plays so thats why im not totaly on the 360's side.....(BattleField: Bad Company 2) WiLL be way better than Duty i have high expectaions for this game
-
Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
Microsoft has fixed most of RRoD problems now and even if your console gets it, Microsoft will fix it for Free whether or not you have a valid warrenty. How does you not being a CoD fan mean you don't like the 360? It came out for both consoles. And if that is what everyone is playing than I would go with the console that has a better online experiance. I do agree Battlefield Bad Company 2 will be beast but I don't think it will overcome MW or MW2 (IMO).
-
Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
More People play Duty on the 360 so im not going to get a 360 just for online experiance....To me playing online is playing online what ever game you choose is what you choose and same with the console if you want to make some online friends go for the 360 but if your just wanting to play the game you got and make friends threw that then the ps3 would work just as well...and yeah Ms will fix it FOR FREE because its a (re-call) ps3's dont have any major recalls like i said its a 10% chance of deffect and thats not very many if you think about it...so the whole MS will fix the RROD deffect (FOR FREE) doesnt mean anything on you diccision on what console to buy...and most people base it on friends thats why every one wants a 360 but im sticking with sony but you cant really ask people which console to buy because you'll end up buying what your friends have unles your a die hard 360 or ps3 fan.

Re: PS3 or XBOX (please don't overtroll)
I didn't choose the 360 because i think that the controller just has a horrible design. When i play it I just think that the analogs are freaken gay. Only for that reason if why i didnt buy a 360. But at the same time im pleased with my ps3. I would like to own both but I don't think paying $60 the year for internet is not worth for any xbox game. so yeah.

Way to pull statistics out of your ass. Did you know that 53.5% of statistics are made up on the spot? (see what I did there?)

i know this is a really old post but i thought i'd just let you know that 4 red rings means that the system does not detect the AV cable so maybe your friend didnt properly plug it in or your just trying to bullshit us thinking 4 red rings is REALLY bad when its not
