PS3 or XBOX 360?

It's pretty much a wash at this point, but the PS3 should eventually win more marketshare and should end up with more and better games. But if you like games like Halo, go with the 360.

I saw a commercial for NG2 yesterday. Either it was a terrible commercial or it's a terrible game, 6/10 tops. The Hulk looks like a decent action game.

Ninja Gaiden 1 came out exclusively on Xbox and then later found its way onto the PS3. Publishers have started to do this with some games, they make a deal withone system to make the game exclusive to them for say six months and then release it later on another system. Another example of this is Virtua Fighter 5, it was released for PS3 then release 6-8 months later on XBox 360. I saw an article on Gamespot that Bioshock is now going to be released on the PS3 too...
Unless the game is developed by Sony or Microsoft then you can bet it will be released on all systems in due time. This is because it costs so much for third party publishers to develop games now that they want to have it on all systems so the entire consumer market can buy it. Only a few companies are keeping some games exclusive, i.e. Square Enix keeping Final Fantasy with Sony. But this may change...
It really depends on when you buy, which exclusive is fresh. Right now MGS4 seems to make PS3 the popular choice. MGS4 is really the only reason to get PS3 as there are many more high profile exclusives for the 360, but MGS4 itself carries with it alot of weight.
My 360 just went dead, so quality issues are a huge concern with the 360. I only got the 360 because it was easy to mod to play downloaded games, but the cost of Dual layer discs and all the coasters I get during burning really takes away from the cost savings of pirating vs buying games.
In between exclusives, Blue ray, reliability, moddability it is a tough call.

Consoles are like cars. Never buy the first version. They always rush them to marketbishop said:
Yeah,it's true always avoid the 1st generation of consoles.
It took really the 2nd year before PS3 big games were out...Cod4,DMC4,Ratchet,GTA4,MGS4(save for RofMan,Motorstorm and VF5)
Rumble pad is back and more selection of online games.
If Blu-Ray viewers it's the cheapest way to go. Some time this xmas a Bluray player will be $500.Well just pay the extra $100 get a system and player.
If you like Universal games get a PS3.
We all know how screwed Xbox 360 went...7versions in 2years.
Not to mentioned the Ring of Death
That's what prevent me from buying it. I can't invest $6-700+ for hard plastic to crash on me.
True, the Online for Xbox 360 is better of the two.
If you like American type of games get a Xbox360.
But both consoles are incomparable to the Wii. The Wii came out Nov.19th,2006 has been around just 2 days behind the launch of the PS3 Nov.17 2006 and is still hard to find and Nintendo refuses to sell at a discount maybe in late 2009.
But alot of games are not monitored by Nintendo Seal of Golden Approval and alot of games are quick to cash in are shit.

I've always been an xbox gammer. I had both an original xbox and PS2 and sold the PS2 because I preferred the xbox in every way. I later bought an Xbox 360. It can be modded. better exclusive games IMO, far superior controller. My only complaint with the 360 is it's loud. I am thinking about getting a PS3 in the fall as a blu-ray player (Iron Man). It is the cheapest and best BD player out there. I get 360 games for free so I would only buy a few PS3 exclusives like MGS4.
If I didn't have either and couldn't get 360 games for free, I'd go with the PS3 though. The PS3 is the ultimate home entertainment system. And this is coming from someone who despises Sony. The best argument to go with the 360 is Gears of War.

I had a PS2 and then got an XBox 360. I later sold the PS2.
Performance wise the PS2 and XBox 360 are likely a wash, at least in terms of games. I seem to know more people who have XBox than PS2 though, so for me that's better if I want to borrow games.

That's nice, but RROD means 3-4 weeks without games. And rumor has it that components like the disc tray also have a higher failure rate than they should (though much lower than 15-30%).
Get both console?
Nah,you don't want to invest in two or more consoles.Just one console and hopefully,get a mod chip installed and no more buying games,just rent the game and download on your HD and it's all yours.
But Xbox360 pay that extra$ for an Xbox Ellite(blackone) it's silent. Saw it on youtube.
I fought about getting all 3 consoles.I have Wii/PS2+3. But popular hardcore games are identical except for some cheat codes and characters for Xbox360/PS3.ie;SoulCaliber or JLA.
I hope no new gen will come out until 2011.But I'm sure one of the companies,and forbid a new company will be a tester to the public.
