another lame xbox360/ps3 thread

[Grind]

Allright.. i had decided about a month ago that I would go for the PS3, despite never owning a PS, PS2 (I'm a nintendo/xbox person). The hype kind of convinced me that it was the better console. I'm not huge into video games, but love playing sports games (Madden, NHL 2k, NBA 2K, etc..) and I like playing sports games online. I'm thinking that given the price tag and supply issues with PS3 right now, why not just buy an Xbox 360 for the 3-4 games I buy each year (the new sports games). Anybody have any reason that I shouldn't get an xbox 360? When did this shit get complicated?

It all depends on the consumer. For myself i will get the PS3, but when the prices drop, maybe $400. I like gaming in general, with the exception of platform games, so i can justify the cost with regards to the amount of use i will get out it, especially with the new BLU-ray technology. Reason as to why i wont get the XBOX 360 is because the console didnt make the big leap to next generation capabilities, it was more like a skip, also they seem to be making the problem they did with the original. Limited amount of great games in their library, they just not being aggressive enuff with this point. As a consumer you have to ask yourself some questions; are u a casual, moderate or hardcore gamer, do u like online gaming, multiplayer?, do you and your friends play alot together on your console, how much you are willing to spend, etc. Frome what u mentioned, i will take a guess that you are better off just gettin the Nintendo Wii, since you only want to play sports games. Whatever you decide to buy just remember that it should last you atleast a couple years of use if you want to get your moneys worth. Good luck.

I finally went out and got myself an Xbox360... I love the thing.. games are great looking... can stream movies/audio/photos from my PC's.. can download HD movies from xbox live... so far so good! Not so happy with Madden 07 for 360.. seems EA isn't putting much effort into 360/ps3 yet.. hopefully next year they step up.
