I already have a 360 but I was thinking of getting a PS3 at Christmas, Is there any point? Or are they just pretty much equal?

PS3 is free online. That's it.Never understood the console wars, both have the same concept. Although it's good to have both for exclusives.

That's all that I've ever seen in it as well, although can't PS3's play blu-rays as well? (wouldn't buy one just for that lol)

Xbox has Youtube now..
Seriously though, both of them have their pros and cons. Xbox's big one is the fact that you have to pay for live.. Now let's be honest, this isn't a big thing at all. Anyone not living in the slums of Nigeria can consistantly pay for this. PS3 has a poor online and I just don't feel the same when playing on there(that's just me ofcourse).
BlueRay is just for flash. Not once have I given a shit about blueray. It's similar to 3D, who really gives a shit?
In my opinion if you have one then there's no reason to have the other

In my opinion there is, like for example Uncharted is my favourite game series ever, MGS4 is one of my favourite games, I find the exclusives much better on PS3, but I rather have games like FIFA on Xbox because the online is simply better.Jord wrote:In my opinion if you have one then there's no reason to have the other
Having both is ideal, PS3 is a far superior machine but Xbox is better for online imo.
Though MW3 has been fine on my PS3. I got PS3 all them years ago when it came out and was very hesitant to by an Xbox, didn't see the point but now I am so glad I have both.

So, if you had to choose 1, which would it be?

Xbox simply because the online is better. But I could argue other things in which 'I' prefer.
The weight of the controllers
The layout and features on the main menu
The Gamerscore system
The exclusives
etc

If you can afford both and there's nothing else you really would like then get a PS3. As both have their pros and cons, and you get all the exclusives.

I don't really care for a good online experience tbh. The lag is as small/big on either, you're paying £30-£40 a year on Xbox live for cross game chat. I am lot more sociable on my PC games...but on my PS3 I'm content to play my big single player games and online I'll just play solo and not have to worry about all the spammers and kids.
If there was anything else better about PS3s for me......it's the exclusives and controllers. Also the layout is straightforward and simple....I don't spend much time outside of games but if I'm on the homepage it's good.

I much prefer the Xbox controller, people say it's too bulky but I reckon that's bollocks, in fact I know it is, before I got my Xbox I always said the controller was shit etc being a cunt but now I've got it it feels solid in your hand, it's a good fit and not too big and bulky at all, and the PS3 one feels way too light.

Have to agree with Kyro there. I actually find PS3 controllers way too small and irritatingly light, Xbox controllers are a perfect fit, feels comfortable holding it and have no problems with at all.

Thats what I'm saying to everyone with a PS3. I try and stress that the PS3 one is far too light, it's like your holding thin air(trust the Japanese to want shit like that). They say the xbox 360 controller is like holding a brick but they haven't a clue

I don't think it's light....the one without Dualshock is light but the one with it is just right. I don't like the Xbox one....whenever I play on my brother's it just feels really awkward and large...especially the non parallel analogues and shit R1/L1 buttons.

I've got the dualshock one.

Oh well
I think it has a nice firm feel to it. I wouldn't want it bigger or heavier, and I don't see a reason too.
Unless you start raging and smash/crush your controller then it doesn't matter. Actually it being lighter just makes it easier to move.

What? I've played with the Dualshock one plenty of time over at a mates. It's like as fuckLux wrote:I don't think it's light....the one without Dualshock is light but the one with it is just right.

Definitely the 360 because it isn't burdened with the frankly terrible Uncharted series.
Guest- Guest
Just stick with 360.
Most people I know who have gone from Xbox to PS3 have regretted it.
Also some people I know who went from PS3 to Xbox did not regret it.

Get both for the exclusives.
There's enough out there to make it worthwhile.

I'll have a think about it, but people don't seem to rate either much higher than the other. So I might just buy a shit load of games. Cheers lads

I've honestly never got why Xbox's online is so much better than PS3s. People say it is much faster to get into matchmaking games such as FIFA and COD but I don't really get the fuss, takes all of 15 seconds to find a game on COD and maybe 10 on FIFA, what could you possibly be saving, 5-10 seconds? I'm sure there are more legitimate reasons and I can't really judge to be honest because the only times I've ever played Xbox is over my friends' houses.
Also I've never really cared about my controller, I think it feels fine tbh and I think if I used the Xbox controller it would be equally fine. Only thing I like about Xbox controller is for FIFA doing skill moves its easier with those indents in the analog rotation, so you know exactly where 90 degrees etc. is.
