The ps3 on paper is a better system spec wise, this however doesn't mean that its a better console. Consoles are made for games, ps3 has been lacking an abundance of quality games for awhile. Yes there's metal gear solid 4, and uncharted. But those 2 are the only games that stand tall. The 360 has twice as much games and a whole array of killer titles. What it lacks in technology (Not much behind the ps3) is compensated by games, and xbox LIVE, the best online service available.
True, PS2 actually proved, the xbox and esp the gamecube were better than the ps2 spec wise, since they were much younger, but they couldnt compete for Sony's long range of games, but that also happened for other reasons too.
Nintento lost because they didnt support piracy and xbox because they were 5 years late, but in the late days, these two consoles presented much better games, graphically, way beyond ps2's limits.
The dif between 360 and ps2 isnt that big, there is dif type of competition now, within 2 years from now, the gap will be closed.
I dont know about you, but i will only invest once and i dont want to regret this decision, i am cant afford to buy two next gen consoles since my priority is the PC platform. I want my console to complete what my pc cant.
So if the PS3 can provide me with a cheap blue ray player and exclusivities i will never get the chance to play on the PC. With the added fact that in the future the better specs will provide a bit better games too, then i think the PS3 is the wisest choice.
But i ll personally, wait on-two more years, just to be sure:p
By then the PS3 will be unlocked, i will have a full HD screen,
Resistance 2, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5 and other excl beauties will be available, for the 100GB slip PS3, with the new motion sensored-wireless pad included. As a bonus the PES 2011 will start looking much better than the 360 version:pimp:

You're right when you say blue ray is for the future, but most people today don't even know what blue ray mean or don't have blue ray players nor HDTVS. This technology will blossom but its certainly not now (its later rather than sooner), because as you know both consoles are reaching their 3rd life cycle. And even if the ps3 proves somehow proves that its superior to the 360 graphically ( games), and blue ray penetrates the market and replaces DVDs. Microsoft will release a new console much better technologically than the ps3. This is not even a speculation, MS is currently working on a after 360 project, set to be released sometime during 2010.
Could be, but as it was proved the consumers werent ready for this change, it was kind of rushed already, the PS3 has at least 6-9 years life and support.
Sony only regret it to rush once, they wont repeat the same mistake for the shake of it. They might lose supremacy if they do.
They bet that this time they would be the late starter, just to ensure tech supremacy, the major xbox advantage, but now they lost the game variety and advantage they had. They fight hard to change that by not unlocking the PS3, holding its sales and motivate game producers to make better games for them, since they guarantee they wont lose profit from piracy. The situation is bound to change because of that slowly but surely. The new dev tools and exclusive games will solidify that.

Sony have underestimated their competition this time around, they relied on features rather than benefits, and their brand name. They have made countless mistakes along the way, something they might regret especially during the next generation of consoles.
Indeed they made mistakes, MS learned from their mistakes and they managed to turn tables for them initially. If they war was, they would have wont it,
but it isnt Sony's empire had already a vast fan base and influence between games companies, enough to afford such a bold move and reckless.
If they were losing the HD front or the exclusive deals, they wouldnt be able to bounce back. But they will now, its inevitable, if PS3 has a sure advantage, is the quality over time and the worst part has already passed
and the casualties are slowly being fixed and the situation is turning to their favor, even in the US soil!!
Thats impressive, if Sony gains the upper-hand under those circumstances, then the situation will be irreversable.


IMO, the situation is a bless for the customers, we are the ones who will profit from this competition!

just about everyone i know who bought a 360 has had problems with it going wrong, that has made up my mind that it will be a ps3 for me

like cronios though i am gonna wait a wee while longer, i am very happy with my Wii and the experience you get with the Wii is second to none. microsoft won the initial battles but i have no doubt that Sony will win the war and with the blu-ray player they may just have an edge

PS3 most definetly. XBOX 360 had the initial buzz but now it's all about PS3.

Best would be to get a proper PC though, nothing will ever compair.

guys you confuse! Bozi should I buy PS3?
XBOX360, best games out there minus metal gear solid 4. Gears of war 2, fable 2 are all coming out pretty soon exclusively on the 360. And these are probably the best games in their own genre.


As for the failure problems that happen with the 360, initially that was the case with the first batch of 360s. But as of late, microsoft worked this issue and all new consoles worked perfectly fine. If anything goes wrong, MS offers a 3 year global warranty.


The console war this time around wont have any "clear" winner. For example MS did an excellent job in taking a large portion of sony's market share. That in itself can be considered a victory.

Dont worry Snoop, you wont miss those games if your pc can handle them.
They are all going to be ported on PC eventually, MS has invented this way to maximize profits and they wont stop now.
Halo 3, Fable 2 and Gears of war 2, will be all ported to PCs.

While PS3 exclusives, God of war 3, Gran Turismo 5, Resistance 2 and the Metal Gear Solid Series will never be ported in any other platform!


Due to the restrictions of piracy, the PS3 has, (atm at least)
the high prices and mediocre game availability in our region, i would recommend a 360 for you, though...

yup! That's a problem too, I want to make sure that they will be unoriginal copies are out before I buy any. Btw, I never play games on PC except FM. And as for PS or Xbox, I am not sure if I will buy those games you guys mentioned, will probably buy sport games (foot, basket etc..) and car games. I am not very familiar with the game world, all these years I only played football manager :D

besides who really want to spend their whole life with some american jock shouting "WHOOO_HOOOO HEAD SHOT SUCKA!" everytime you want to play a game online? the nintendo online service is superb though and getting better al the time

if you are into racing games then GT on the PS3 is your best bet
