ps3 or xbox360?

[.ex.]

which 1 is better? i cant decide

[Erik]

I'll be getting the PS3 when it comes out. I like them better than anything billy makes.

[Sal UK]

From the videos I have seen of both and looking at the Specs, I would say the PS3 is better. The main downfall for PS3 is it comes out 6months to a year after the XBox 360.

[Trojan]

PS3, buy it or I'll kick your a$$! hehehe

[Hellfighter]

PS3 it has more games for it then Xbox would have. you can select more to play it with.

[Dr. Bullet]

The only thing the Xbox will have is Halo...go PS3.

[BADDOG]

I definitley will go with PS3!!!!

thats a Microsoft they limited the game type to be use. ooh heard it before from them we be coming out with Halo 2 soon then before it do hit the street it be only for Xbox. a lot of us was in (windows/mac) hoping it be a Cdrom Version for the Windows System but that drop like a bomb.

Microsoft can die when it come to games. Halo 2 i don't care if it not a Cdrom it dead.

on the Other hand Sony PS2 & PS3 they have a whole line up when it come to games Cd's to be play, besides playing DVD on their system to watch movies and do other things with it. music Cd i don't know maybe too if it can play DVD i can't see why not a Music Cd's

sad thing about Halo 2 is they had a golden egg and they **** it out by limiting it to only X-Box were they could have made more money and sold more Cd's world wide for:
Windows>$$$$$$$$
Mac>$$$$$$$$$$$$
PS2>$$$$$$$$$$$$
other system and console type games>$$$$$$$$$

Microsoft marketing dept must really suck when it come to think of making money with a big hit. thats money lost they could have made billion of USD-Dollars more in come by making it so much bigger for the fans. will i think Bill gates must be really like to lose more money then making it.

[-Tigger-]

im a fan of the Xbox, i had a PS2 and wasnt impressed at all with it, the Xbox is much faster (current one) compared to the PS2.

i havnt read up on the PS3. only the Xbox but this debate is abit like the AMD v Intel.. lol

i wont be spending £300 for one though , wait a year and get it for less than £200..

also anyone who is getting one for some1 or themselves for Xmas, Microsoft is having supply problems so dont promise the kids anything .. lol

[Terry]

would love to reserve meself one ready for the 1st or 2nd batch they bring out, but xmas is the priority so i guess ill have to wait till afterwards lol

... i aint gonna go for any of them, but I would go for the xbox 360 ... as soon as we get halo 3 I'll get it, then sell it. Kinda gone off gaming, but i think this thread is going to be a big debate in which is the best ... dont matter really i suppose, just like the chose between a blue ipod ... or a green? hmmm

[Jeff]

You have to remember you're looking at those pics on a computer, the quality will downgrade once you get it on your TV unless you have an expensive plasma/HD TV.

PS3!

[Hellfighter]

man PS3 stats look way better more thing you can do with it besides it way better setup then X-Box is.

thanks Trojan
only wish i had the money to buy get PS3.

man X-box is so out dated

[VooDoo-]

ps3 .. metal gear solid 4 .. and Grand Tourismo 5 .. yea .. ps3 ..all xbox is gona have is halo 3

but i know some rich biatch named spazz is gona get both ...

[Terry]

HEY! ill have both some day and i aint rich lol... just have low priorities hehe

[Grenademan]

XBoxes are for nerds. PS2/PS3s are for blokes. Can spend days on end drinking beer with your mates while playing the best games you have. Seven players I heard? Why seven anyway? How's the screen gonna look? What if you have a teeny tiny TV set? That's the only thing that bothers me about the PS3. Other than that, A WORK OF ART! Ps2/PS3 ALL THE WAY!!!

[BADDOG]

I've been told by my contact in our local GAME store that the X-Box 360 may well be in short supply on it's release date of December here in the U.K. and that GAME have stopped taking deposits as a result.
