Should I buy a 360 or ps3?

What should I get the 360 or the PS3? I hear that the PS3 has better graphics but lacks in online play. And I have to make sure that it is well worth the 600 bucks that it costs.

We have a PS3, but it seems like there are a lot more games for Xbox 360, and I've probably read as many people saying Xbox is the best as have read PS3 is the best.

Once there are games that take full advantage of what the PS3 can do, I'm sure it'd be worth it...but for now, I'd look at the games that are for sale for each one before deciding on what platform to go with.

not worth the $600 to me! I'm using the 1st xbox, not the 360.
it is fine with me.

I have played both. Xbox 360 blows the PS3 out of the water. the only thing wrong with 360 is Xbox live is subscription based. you have to pay. and 360 has a lot more games to choose from for now. 'Crackdown' is so much fun if you like blowing things up.

Ps3 is the future of gamming but at a price is a bit heafty, games will eventualy come out for playstation but ps3 has greater graphics capabillities

I have a 360 and it's freakin' sweet. The graphics on the PS3 are cool, but the games for 360 are cooler (Halo3)!

ps3 graphics are slightly better than 360's. but that isnt what you shuld buy a system for. sure, no one wants to see polygons on their 400 dollar system (though xbox has stunning graphics. look at oblivion and gears of war). xbox 360 has a lot of material to play around with besides games. movies and things like that. xbox pwns ps3..for now.

360, because there are like 10 games for PS3.

I think you shound buy an PS3 not a XBOX 360!!
From GameWorldMaster!!

to be honest with you... I've played both..
the PS3 has free internet but it doesnt have the same capability as the 360 online wise, but the graphics of the PS3 are much better than the xbox 360. But at the end of the day its your choice what you waste 400 - 600 bucks on.
me? id rather have a life =]

I'm actually asking myself the same question. I want to buy one of them with my tax returns, but I'm not sure which yet. The main thing I love about the xbox 360 (aside from Gears of War and Halo 3) is that you can play music while you play games. You can even stream music from your computer through the xbox 360, wirelessly , if you have Windows Media Center (which I do :D). As far as I know, the PS3 cant do any of that.

The main thing I love about the PS3 is the free online gaming, whereas with the xbox, you have to subscribe to xbox live gold ($50/year) to play games online. Its actually not that bad of a price for what you get, but just the fact you have to pay to play other people is enough for me to list it as a con. Also, $50/year is kinda hard to come up with when you're like me and don't have a steady job.

Other than that, most of the good games are available for both consoles (Call of Duty 4, Rockband, etc.), PS3 does have better graphics, but for me, I dont even have an HDTV so the graphics are all the same to me. The best graphics I'm going to see is what can be displayed through S-Video. And frankly, unless a console is capable of running virtual reality games, I wouldn't buy a console based on how good the graphics are. No matter how realistic the graphics look, your still just playing it on a TV.

At this point I'm kinda leaning towards getting an Xbox 360 because it can stream music through the 360 from my computer, so I can make my own custom playlist for whatever game I play. Thats really important to me. and $50/year really isn't too bad. I may have to save for it, but I'm willing to do that.

PS3

look at the vids on youtube about ps3 vs 360.ps3 kills it in every way 360 only has bout 35 games more because it been out for extra 16 months.not loot more really.

ILL SAY XBOX-360 because IT HAS BETTER GAMEPLAY BUT PS3 HAS GOOD GRAPICS SO ITS UP 2 U

I agree wit kobe!!!

THIS WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!:
buy the 40 gig one ($400)
then add memory externally

ask someone at the store about it
ps3 is way better
more reliability 3% failure rate
360 has a 16% failure rate
hope that helps

Here is a comparison for you. If you want a variety of games and like first person shooter games and you like online play and you like having something you can stream music from your media center PC amongst other things...Get and Xbox 360. IF you want a blu-ray dvd player andfeel like spending a lot of money for a gaming system that will only have a few decent games get a PS3. to further make a point. When the 360 came out they promoted the types of games and the online capabilities. When the PS3 came out, however, they said it has a BLU-RAY dvd player, it has a such and such processor with a such and such graphics card and it is this fast and you can watch movies on it. oh yeah you can play video games on it too. oh wait. they never really said that until 30 games got released for it. they also said (sony) that it will be able to play ps1 and ps2 games. im pretty usre you cant really play PS1 games on it but you can play MOST not all MOST PS2 games. but to do that you need a PS2 controller and a PS2 memory card. on a 360 MOST original xbox games are backwards compatible (meaning you can play it on the system) you can even save, get this, on your xbox 360 harddrive. hmm thats nice. oh yeah. PS3 doesnt use the vibration function in its controllers. xbox 360 does. did I mention that a 360 is cheaper? has more games? better online capabilities? a camera? wireless battery packs FOR the 360 wireless controllers? LEGO STAR WARS!!! you can even rent movies from the xbox marketplace. what can you do with a PS3? well I'm pretty sure it would look cool if I lit it on fire with say GASOLINE!!! then I still couldnt figure out why I paid 600 BUCKS on a crap system with slightly SLIGHTLY better graphics. GET A 360 you douche

erasmus is a dumb s**t.my friend bought a x-cox because hes not much of a gamer.this was last month since then the batteries have gone twice in the controllers(still uses batteries)the hdmi cable is busted his games have got scracthed,and he now got the ring of death.I admit halo is awesome.but the awesomness ends there the menu is bad the it cost money to go online my friend still hasnt figured out how to get internet browser.whos saying the ps3 lacks online its fantastic.no comparrision buy ps3.x-cox 3sh**ty might seem cheap but if you had to buy accessories its dearer than ps3.stay with playstation.

I would buy the 360.

I have to say I don't know why people keep saying the Ps3 has no games it has a better variety than the 360 and all the So called exclusives for the 360 arnt exclusives gears of war bioshock halo3 soon to be are all on the PC also which dostn make them an exclusive and Also the Ps3 has Killzone 2 and I know 360 fanboys will say the first one sucked *the game was too powerful for the system * so now that they have super awsome system the game is going to kick face
PS: Dont bother wit ha 360 it has too many problems adn the 2 so called great games gears of war 2 and halo3 have the worst graphics and game play the ydotn deserve to be called next gen. Hoped that helped any one

=)
