Id recommend a ps3, but i would, thats what ive got, had a few 360's, they all broke, but that said, there a really good console, and i know people who have no probs with the 360 at all. you got a lot more game selection with a 360, but there is a lot of good games out for the ps3 now aswell

PS3, played on both

You may think 360 looks cheaper but it isnt, by the time you add on the HD player thing thats another £150, PS3 has it built in already

Only posting so you check my sig out haha.

Not into consoles but bought a ps3 for some random reason, well all the threads on here haha and was really impressed with it, just a shame i can never get into them like a lot of people, hence mine being for sale.

Whenever you hear this question you get a 50/50 mix, mostly by people owning the console and backing there choice. Never owned a 360 but now of a good few with problems etc.

I really don't think you will be dissapointed by either games wise, going on what people say about the 360.

Ps3 - £300 Comes with blu-ray player, bluetooth and wireless out the box. Ive played 4 games since I brought it and completed 2 of them cause I liked them that much.

XB360 - £300 HD Player - £130.00. Wireless Network adapter - £60.00. Has alot of games available, but Ive not actually found many good ones.

My Wii is on EBAY cause Ive used it for 15mins since buying it.

My XB360 has been sitting in the cupboard for 2 weeks and has not been used for 3months. Ps3 is being used everyday to watch DVD's or play games

It all depends on what ya want from the console. Games console only go for XB360. DVD upscalling and good games console go for PS3.

If you got a PS3 it would be rude not to do online gaming since its free and you can browse the net from your 50million inch tv in the comfort of your armchair i dont have a PS3 but i know its piss easy to get online etc

The ps3 has blu-ray
The 360 hd-dvd
Get an elite with the hd-dvd drive and it's about the same price as the ps3 (the proper one with 120g hd.)

For the next year or so the 360 will have more game's no doubt's about that and the online is soooo much better.
Yes you do pay for it but it's worth every penny.
And once you get it you will play online i would be lost without xbox live.

Sony had to drop the price and a lot of the trick bit's to sell them. Which say's a lot to me.

its £40 a year ,hardly breaking the bank and worth it for the superior online play compared to the ps3

xbox is the future sony were the daddies but theyre now third on the pecking order.id be surprised if sony bothered making another console after the massive losses theyve suffered with the ps3 whilest the xbox 720 is already in development
