first person shooter

Okay, I don't mind the games. I guess I'll go for the 360 since it also has a lot more votes =x

here's what you shoud do. hold out until you absolutely have to have a game for it. otherwise, why bother?

for ps3, it's ninja gaiden sigma.

What's the big deal? I'll just stick with playing Ninja Gaiden Black on my 360 thankyou

If you get a 360, there is a 15% chance every time you put a game in it that it might break. If you get a PS3, then well, no games... that are not already on 360 and good.

yea.... do you know what your talking about? i have 20 games and i play it daily... switching discs a couple times a day... and no broken discs or console. i'll admit, i did have the 3 red lights, but once i took off the nyko intercooler it went a way for a while, but the dmg had been done, but luckily, the nice people at MS repaired it completely for free, even though it was out of original warranty. plus all new ones come with a yr warranty

I went with the 360, and like it a lot. Lots of good cheap original Xbox games that still look plenty snazzy, and the downloadable games are good too. I've bought Rainbow Six Vegas and DOA 4 so far, plus a few XBox Live games (Geometry Wars, Fish Frenzy, Robotron, looking hard at Prince of Persia Classic) and several Xbox games (Halo 2, Half Life 2, DOA 1-3, all super cheap.) So, I'm happy with it, hopefully it'll be a while before it dies, and then at least MS is being good about replacing the dead ones. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty nice system. The PS3 will take a while to mature, and really the only exclusive that I care about is whatever new Silent Hill comes out in the future. So, PS3 will have to wait, a pretty long time, before I even consider it.

I don't see the point in what those people at the PS3 Launch did to get one.. I mean Camp outside for days to get a console that has like 5 games out? It's final. I'm going with the Xbox 360 =D

Anybody care to give more suggestions?

use the board search and read the other 9000 PS3 vs. 360 threads?

 

[ZeWarriorReturnz]

Read the top. It's not a PS3 vs 360 Thread. It's a suggestion on which one I should buy...I don't care about the brand. Nor am I a fanboy of neither company, which is why I want someone to give a suggestion on which one I should get. And based on the results, 360 is the defitnally the winner.

if you want good games and a decent online service then you have to go for the 360.everyone i know that has 360 and a ps3 says that the 360 is better and the ps3 is just sitting there getting dusty...................sudeki300

 

[ZeWarriorReturnz]

btw my friend has a ps3, and I NEVER saw him play it, it's just in the corner getting dust. So yeah, I'll get the 360. Thanks for helping decided everyone XD

And it didn't even sell out! There were people walking in off the street after work and picking one up off the shelf!

I know. That just makes the fanboys who queued overnight look even sillier

360 all the way, it has the better games and best support.

You may not see MGS4 or the next FF (SE said they aren't working on a 360 version) but you'll get some of the most amazing games, even if you're not into shooters.

 

[ZeWarriorReturnz]

For the 360 I'm mostly interested in GoW, PGR3, GTA4, Xbox Games. Though I don't know many games for 360 yet, I'll investigate. Thanks for the help in deciding

your x360 will break, so go with ps3

sure it has no games now, but that'll change in the fall, they have like 6 exclusives coming and they have something for everyone
online: warhawk, haze, socom
offline adventure: heavenly sword, uncharted, rachet and clank
casual: singstar, home

if you decided to get a x360 anyway, don't be surprised if it breaks, and just make sure you get a store warranty so that you can exchange it with a new one in the store, dont mess around with ms's warranty service, they'll send you a refurb one and it'll break again within 3 months

or,

you can get a RRoD x360 on ebay for $160 or so, then do an x-clamp replacement surgery, it's pretty simple but it might take you a day if you're not used to it, if you could fix it you got yourself a $160 x360, if it doesnt work, call microsoft and you might be able to get a working replacement for $140 ($140 + $160 = $300, same thing right?)

you can find the xclamp guide here:

I'll get a new 360 and buy it from best buy. I heard they give you a 5 year warranty on high priced products or something.

 

[SynGamer]

Well, i've gone through 2 360's in a matter of 3 months...and while the games are great, i really doubt this console will last as long as my PS2 has. I still think the 360 is the better choice seeing as how nearly every developer is bringing their games to at least the 360...

What i'm hoping for is that MS is sued due to the large number of 360's failing.

I think you can only get up to a 3 year warranty.
