mrmetallica Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 whats peoples views on the best console to get ? the boy wants a ps3 but are they worth it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec2k6 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I personally think the PS3 is the best one. I'm selling mine to pay for the damage on my car, but will be getting another as soon as I can. Alot of people aren't so keen due to downloading updates etc but I think the PS3 is so simple to use and loads of features on it. Let the PS3 vs Xbox battle commence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I think you cant beat the Xbox. The PS3 has better technology, but ultimately its too hard to programme with. 9 times out of 10 the game do look better on the xbox, and the xbox upscalling is far superior. Just check out eurogamer for there monthly game comparission. It'll show the game are infact better. So not only are you paying less for the console, your getting a better platform, with a better line up of console specific titles. Live is also much better than PS network, with a much wider adoption, and more downloadable content. Unfortauntely it is chargable, but for £3 a month it hardly breaks the bank. Bluray is the only reason to buy a ps3. if thats not your objective than the xbox is the only choice. Edited March 25, 2009 by foxdie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The Xbox suits my needs perfectly. A huge array of games and I love Xbox Live and the updated dashboard. The EA servers may be the death of me though, but that's nothing to do with Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racetechturbo Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 never been on a ps3 but the guy in zavvi (when i took my elite back for breaking) said that he had more ps3's returned that 360's so i doubt they are any more reliable, my mates has been back loads go xbox, games pop up cheap as hell too, 45 rrp but someones always got a deal on, most of mine cost a score and were out less than a month i only play cod4 now, sometimes gta4, cant be beat fallout3 was a dissapointment but i thnk i gave up too early, same with cod5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 XBOX is good,ill give it that.does almost everything the PS3 does and does some things better... However,the 360 will not be around in 5 years time,the PS3 will be! Pros of PS3 Built in hard drive (base model xboxes dont give u this)Blu rayExclusive games such as killzone and GT5,little big planet and so on as well.Online is free (£3 a month is £36 quid a year u dont need to spend if u have a PS3..and will soon make the XBOX cost the same as the PS3) Games for PS3 are getting better, killzone is an example of what can be done! (and remember,XBOX games are limited to fitting on a 4.7GB DVD,wheras PS3 games can be much larger due to the fact Blurays hold 10 times that.

racetechturbo Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 live can be cheaper, mine was £26 for 13 mths from play.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwd Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 You're always going to get a split on opinions. I've personally got a PS3 and love it. As well as the games I just transfer my videos from my PC via USB onto it and you can use it as a multimedia centre. You might be able to do this on the XBox, I don't know. But I've had a few friends who've had problems with XBox's and the red ring of death or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort boy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Has to be xbox 360 for me, gears of war 2 online is awesome =D I've played ps3 but it doesn't excite me whatsoever. Boring and souless It's down to personal tastes though as the above is my personal opinion obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie74 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i had to make the same choice last week and ended up with an xbox and 3yr warrenty for half the cost of a ps3,, but the main reason was that my sons friends had the xbox,, so he plays online with them and also trades games etc,, it seems to be the most popular console due to cost,, imho the ps3 is the better one, just not the most social Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
