XBox 360 or PS3?

G_Dem · #1 April 9th, 2006, 12:25 AM

I know some of you have the xbox 360 here so im after some advise.

I basically want one of the two but i'm gettin peed off with the amount of time its taking playstaion to release their console. Want do people think about the two consoles? Would it be worth waiting for the PS3 or shall I just go out and buy the XBox?

Let the debate begin......

360 - it's magic, especially online. The ps3 might be better, but I've been on the 360 for almost 4 months now! Nuff said.

No comparison can be made until the PS3 comes out. Whichever one you're planning on getting, wait until the PS3 comes out anyway. The 360 will come down in price to compete with the PS3 launch, and the PS3 will launched at a price to compete with the already-established 360, so it's win/win either way.

or you could spend a few more quid and be online gaming TODAY!

I was going to buy a new car last year, but I think I'll wait until the hover car is in the show rooms, I've heard they are coming soon

The control setup I don't like on XBOX plus they make you buy extra's to operate simple things like DVD, and more than likely SONY has beefed up there graphics. Ive always been in favor of SONY in Gaming, Motion Picture EXAMPLE: TV. I'd rather get rid of Microsoft. Nintendo control setup use to be as good as SONY. SONY has made some smart moves in the industry, like introducing "CD" & "UMD" games. Forget those old cartages that Nintendo thought of. MS XBOX made a stupid move by not removing the things that were on the HeatSink which caused the XBOX's to overHeat. Nintendo needs to get with the times and do what PSP did, release "UMD's" (Universal Mini Discs).
