Help!!! PS3 or Xbox360?

[Iceskater101]

I cant really say one over the other because i havent played the ps3
but I have had my 360 for two years and its been great. I havent had the rrod
and it has great games and pretty good graphics so if I were you i would get a 360

@Samus:

By not quoting my entire post, you make it look like I'm a ps3 fanboy...either way as I said earlier, both are equally good systems and I posted PRO's and CON's for both, as I see them.

Besides....why choose one or the other? A true gamer would get both...

I quoted what I didn't agree with.
And there were some Cons and some Pros I agreed with on both, I defended the ones I didn't.

And not everyone is rich...
You have to realize not everyone can spend $700+ just on gaming consoles. Think of what else they could use that money for.

I true gamer would most likely not have the money for both lol. That's about 1000 bucks right there, let alone any gamers or add ons.

1k isn't a lot for a hobby if you have a job.

Yes, i know they can get a job, just no one around here is hiring. But I might be able to get one in the summer.

Out of the two you've given as a choice I'd have to say the 360.

A huge game roster.. Just over the 600 mark, not including the 200+ Arcade titles available via the Xbox Live Marketplace. That's compared to the 450 odd games available on the PS3.

I have absolutely no faults with the Xbox Live network either.
I've never had any trouble connecting to any one of my friends and any network issues are usually forwarned and quickly fixed. The PS3 has a huge problem with it's network. Not only is there less of a userbase but it takes forever to connect to friends in-game.

The RRoD was only a major issue for the earlier consoles.. That of which I own and have yet to come across. Microsoft did however act quickly to try and remedy this, not by releasing a new console but by extending the warranty from 1 - 3 years and including the free repair of your console. If they couldn't fix it, they would send you a new one.
For one to say the PS3 is faultless.. well there's a fan-boy if ever I did see one.. you've got system crashes, blu-ray failures to name but a few that I've experienced.

Now before you slate me as being a fan-boy myself, let me give the Sony their dues.

The backwards compatibility for the PS3 is brilliant, i mean heck.. it lets me play Final Fantasy VII so I'm happy!

And Sony have released their fair share of fixes for several problems including their long awaiting, extremely messed up release of Playstation Home.

The graphics for the PS3 are amazing though there really isn't much difference to the Xbox 360, you'd only notice if you were to really look hard for the details.

But pulling away from the fan-boy arguement, I would suggest re-investing in some of the earlier Nintendo consoles. Some great times were had on those awesome machines and are still adored today.

That's only if you picked up a ps3 way back when they were $600-$700

The new 80GB (which are the only ones you can find at retail environments) do not have ps2 compatibility.
