Xbox 360

[Fadingtoblack]

Rumor has it that when PS3 launches that the Xbox 360 is going to price drop.

That would be the smartest move from Microsoft.

The 360 is established in the market now, and they can most likely easily afford to drop 100-200 off the price, enough to really hurt Sony's Sales.

Also, Peter Moore (Microsoft) said that next generation GTA could be released first to X360 instead of PS3, PC or Nintendo. Game will be released on October 2007.

If full PS3 is gonna cost 599€ and full X360 only 300-400€ in 2007, it's not hard to choose which one to buy.

You are right, PS3 all the way The XBOX360 here in Canada is 590 with the taxes, and the PS3 with taxes will be around 760, I can pay 150$ extra for something that to me seems better, not only that but the main reason why I bought the PS1 and PS2 was the amazing games, and so far every single PS3 game that has been presented looks amazing, but most important...they look freaking fun!!
Heavenly Sword
Genji 2
Resistance
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Assassins
MGS4 (this game alone makes me wanna get a PS3 more than anything)
Lair
GTA: IV
And then you get all the games such as Resident Evil, Madden, and all that.

I only like about 2 or 3 games in the Xbox, don't get me wrong though, it is a pretty sweet machine, but apart from Oblivion, Condemmned and Ghost Reccon, I haven't really enjoyed any other game (Too Human looks sick though)
I rather pay the 150 extra to play the games that I really want to play, than save 150$ to get a machine that I don't have too many games that I really enjoy

I don't mention the Wii, cause at the end, I always buy Nintendo's consoles...and this one definately will be at my house.

BTW, GTA4 will not be exclusive for Xbox, has been made official that it's coming out at the same time for the PS3.

Actually, if I just could have money I would buy both. But then again, I could buy X360 in 2007 when it has loads of games and it's cheaper. And maybe 2008 buy PS3 if I have money. Though I have to also buy HD res. television.

I just bought an Xbox 360 the other day, Im not really into game systems, but I thought id get one just to play a bit and it can also be a social thing. I have a 42" plasma tv, i hope the system looks good on it. I bought it off ebay for 290 US which is good cause here in Canada they are 399 plus tax. It sucks games are so expensive... I plan on getting GTA: The Trilogy for Xbox just to have somethin to play...can anyone recommend some games for Xbox/360 for me? Any good sports ones? The road to the world cup game looked good.

The world cup game that just came out it's actually better than the Road to the World Cup, I think it is also cheaper. I think it depends in what kind of games you are into to be able to reccomend you something...

Waiting PS3 is just waste of time, IMO.

Like you've tried it!

I said it with the Rick rubin thing and i'll say it again- if it ain't true i'll eat my pants ( pointing at Ps3 rocking Xbox 360s ass hehehehe )

Well, PS3 hasn't done very good yet. It seems at it has already flopped.

I also read one Finnish article where they said that UK sales have gone massively down after first week of good sales.

Not good for Sony, especially when the next huge hit GTA IV will be available on both platforms, Xbox & PS.

Now sony has to just admit the loss and start focusing how to avoid bankrupt.

I'm gonna get this newer version of X360 when I'll got myself Full-HDTV. My old tv's picture turned pink on Christmas eve.

I have all 3 next gen systems: Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. If anyone asks me which to buy I'll always tell them Xbox 360!

I don't doubt that PS3 will have it's share of great games like Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, and Socom navy seals to name a few, but they can't come soon enough. The xbox 360 is already well established, with exclusives jumping over from the PS3 everyday it seems.

On another note, yes Motorstorm is the only reason to own a PS3. Oh, and flOw from the playstation store is a pretty cool experience for $10.

I just recently bought a 52 inch flat screen LCD Tv, a sony bravia. I do want to start seeing what it's capable of, I'm going to start checking out some blu-ray and HD-DVD stuff, I hear it's just as amazing as legless moof was talking about nearly a year ago.

I am thinking about getting both, the 360 and the PS3...the Wii looks really fun, but after I played it for a while I was getting bored. Plus so far I haven't seen a game that actually grabs my attention and/or interests, so I think I will pass on that one.

I am still going to get a PS3 before a 360 because it will offer the games that I enjoy the most (seriously, can we say that the PS3 flopped after only 5 months of being out?) The only thing that it bothers me is that pretty much every game out there is a 360 port, thus looking and playing like crap on the PS3 (except Oblivion and the "new" Splinter Cell) but after playing Motorstorm and Resistance it made me realize that indeed the PS3 can offer something sweet for games. I cannot wait to play Heavenly Sword, MGS4, Final Fantasy and God of War 3!

I do agree that this generation looks like the 360 will offer more exclusive content and better games. I just hope it won't be shooters only (like 90% of the XBOX's line up) I will get one because Mass Effect, Bio-Shock and Alan Wake look badass (I don't care about Halo though, bores me to tears) and I have yet to play Gears of War and Dead Rising.

Overall I think it's a good time to be a gamer, lots from where to choose from.

Sony organized an event for the launch of the PS3 in Paris. During the evening they installed a store under the Eiffel Tower. Sony were expecting at least 3000 persons. 40 security guards, 200 journalists were there. But only about 30 clients! 95% of the consoles available at launch site remained unsold
It's just too much expensive, like Vista.
