PS3 or Xbox360

[TingTong101]

As someone who can't buy both, I was wondering if there is any advice on whether to buy the Ps3 or Xbox 360? I'm sure they have both got pros and cons. The Blu-Ray DVD is a good selling point for PS3 but I've been told there is nothing in the games?

Look forward to some advice.
Thanks.

Tingtong I am in exactly THE SAME situation. I was talking to a work mate an he said there is an equivelent hd dvd on xbox. Ya the ps3 games suck but will be amazing in a bit of time. Im going to get a 360 as i loooove halo

Hope this helps

Cheers tu de bang. I'm aware of the HD Dvd add on but was still unsure. I get the feeling it's right to buy the 360 now but 6-9 months the PS3 will be superior.

Guess it's like any technology. Always updating! I hear there is a new XBOX coming out soon too..

another x box? Really? damnation that adds more deliberation then doesnt it! How do you know that? If thats the case i may get a ps3 and gwet a xbod later on. let me know what u do as im really indecisive and will copy you

I have had both, personally unless you are that bothered about the HD DVD aspect I'd go with the 360.

There will be a new xbox, but not for another 18 months at the earliest according to something I read.

In terms of games now, future releases, online services and number of players online, the 360 is streets ahead of the PS3 and will remain so.

If you buy the PS3 you're forcing yourself down the Blu-Ray path, look at Sony's track record on "new" media. Remember the Betamax and the Mini-Disc? Blu-Ray will go the same way as the Betamax as Sony have stated they will not allow pornography on Blu-Ray like they did with Betamax. Guess what is responsible for he vast majority of DVDs these days?

I'm not saying that HD-DVD will be any better, but with the 360 you at least have the choice of upgrading and it's less than �130 - try finding an HD-DVD player for that money anywhere else.

If you enjoy playing online or want to start, then the 360 is your only real choice. Xbox Live makes it very easy

Thanks guys. XBOX 360 it is then. Might have a look at that new one in 18 months time.

TT.
