Should I get a Playstation 3 (80 GB), or the Xbox 360 Elite?

I don't know which one I should get...but like, all of Sony's exclusive games are going to Xbox 360 now, like Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto.

*sigh*

I already have a Wii, and yeah the games are fun, but I need a console with outstanding graphics and power now too. Razz

The Playstation 3 (80 GB) is $50 more than the Xbox 360 Elite.

I don't have an HDTV...I do have a TV that has Component video though.

Xbox 360 FTW!
And I think this will only end in a fanboy fight.

playstation 3 future proof that ass

you'll be happy you did

games will be coming out for the ps3 that will blow away the 360

plus the added bonus of an HD dvd player thats actually worth a shit (i'll be it blueray)

while I think the PS3 has better overall graphics, I believe, that the xbox 360 comes with the reliability of better games and a great controlled online service. Xbox for me.

I've had a wii and just got a 360 the other day as a gift, IT ROX! Get the 360

With xbox live + 1080P resolution = amazing

I can't believe you're even considering the PS3. Trust me, you don't want one. My brother has one and although he won't admit it, he can't find very many fun games for it. Sure there are some good ones here and there, but the online doesn't compare. The 360 definitely has better games out. I personally don't like Sony. They are arrogant and they make a bunch of cocky statements which makes me dislike them even more.

Plus, I cannot stand the PS3 controller. It annoys the hell out of me. To me, the PS3 is garbage. Oh and don't get too hyped for their future promises of great games. They said the same thing last year. I can only think of a few good PS3 games coming out. Most are multiplatform from what I've seen. Anyway, definitely go with either PC gaming or a 360. The PS3 online sucks.

Never had that problem. Plus there's a longass 2 year warranty for it or something like that. Besides, that's not going to change my mind when there are shitty games on the other hand. Whatever though... I guess I'm just an "Xbot."

If you're looking for an awesome gaming experience online and offline, get the 360 and never look back. PS3 has its positives, no doubt, but 360 demolishes it in the gaming, and in my opinion, that's all that matters when buying a gaming machine.

Honestly, I'm a play station fan. I guess you can call me a loyal customer. haha. But xbox games are more violent, in my opinion. It depends on which types of games you like. The controller for xbox is more confusing that play station ones too. I like things simple.

The best game console would be Wii though. Oh my god, I would trade my play station for Wii anytime!

I think Xbox 360 is better. I mean if I had the money I'd want both. The Xbox 360's Live is probably better than the PS3 version. I've never really heard of people on the PS3 version of Live

Xbox 360 is definitely better. All my friends love theirs and with Sony losing their better exclusive games as you mentioned.. the PS3 is dieing.

Btw I was a hardcore PS2 fanboy.

Ugh, so I feel like I wanna buy it all from Amazon, even though I can save money, it's just easier getting it from one place.

Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card - $43.99
Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter - $94.99
Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit - Black - $16.99
Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit with Controller Black - $60.99
Xbox 360 Elite Bundle - $449.99

Before games...that's freakin' $666.95! It's really expensive. Sad

The wireless adapter is really expensive too.

Anyone have a "save 90% on total purchase" coupon code or something for Amazon.com? Razz

It'll be worth it when you meet little screaming boys playing mature games online.

Xbox is supposedly giving all xbox live members a free arcade download for this whole fiasco. I have not touched my xbox since this crap started.....

Burnout Paradise looks unbelievable. I want it. Comes out this month, yay.

Only thing about the PS3...it has exclusive rights to UT3. Sad

I want that game so badly.
