Gang, I'm currently looking for a new gaming system and wanted to see what your thoughts were? Here is the scoop:
I'm not a HUGE gamer by any means but I like to play a bit on the weekends and every once in a while I go on marathon kicks when the wife is out of town. I currently own a Wii which is great for hosting people at our house but doesn't have the available titles nor the amount of graphics and game play as other systems. That I know. Of the two big systems out there, PS3 and Xbox 360, I'm having a hard time figuring out which one best suits my needs. I like games like Call of Duty 4, NCAA Football (EA) and killer zombie games (who doesn't like to shoot the undead in the head with a shotgun?). There are things I like about both systems but I want some help and hear your thoughts? So help me out and make a good case for your choice! *** UPDATE: Picked up a PS3 this last weekend after finally getting around to it. Thanks for the info, Tankers. ***** Last edited by Outbackk; 02-15-2010 at 11:54 AM.. |

I own all three systems, the wii is good for when folks come over, the PS3 is good for watching blu-ray, its online capabilities is minimal and I dont use it at all. The Xbox has the best online capabilities and I play GOW2, H3, and will be playing the new left 4 dead game. As a bonus I watch netflix in HD on the 360 also.

I would go with the 360, they have many more quality games to choose from. I am by no means a PS3 hater but with Sony loosing so many of their exclusives, if you don't want to buy or can't afford both systems, it just makes more sense to go with the 360.

I went with the PS3...I have many reasons for saying this but to name a few, they don't break down as often as 360's, Sony has always given top of the line quality, and Final Fantasy 13...

I don't have a link to the article but I read somewhere that FF was one of the exclusives that Sony had lost and that FF13 will launch on the same day for both PS3 and 360. |

I would definately go with the PS3. you can't beat the blu-ray player, and online gaming, while minimal, is FREE. I own both and almost never use my 360. It is true however that the 360 has better game selection, but all the major titles for the most part come out on both.

It looks like the days of exclusives are slowly coming to an end. I remember back in the day I'd pick my systems based one what games they had to offer, hell I bought The Dreamcast just for Resident Evil: Code Veronica and only ever bought two other games for it, what a waste.
I didn't think about the Blu Ray angle, that's definitely something to consider. Sony screwed up early on by not having enough PS3's available. I still couldn't find one six to eight months after it came out and eventually stopped looking. I had planned on picking one up when MGS4 launched but by then I couldn't afford it anymore. I'd still like one eventually but now that times are tough it's not even on my radar. |

I have all 3 systems
Wii - Good Party System for Multiplayer Family Fun 360 - More Quality Games for Adult Males PS3 - Many Quality Games + Blue Ray Player I have to go with PS3 overall because of the Blue Ray, and Sony exclusive titles that are can't miss.
