PS3 or Xbox360 or Neither

[The TRUST]

For now. What about when the 360 has the external Blu-Ray? They are currently working on it.

PS3 just got lucky with Blu-Ray. Microsoft was unlucky with the HD DVD.

Besides, I would rather have an external Blu-Ray rather then the built in one. What happens when it breaks?

this had got nothing to do with HD DVD vs Blu-Ray war. Evenm if MS made an external BD player how will u watch ur blu-ray if the 360 fails? even think about that?

I haven't experienced that disc scratching nor have I heard of it from any of my friends that own 360s. Hardware problems happen. Even with computers a disc drive can potentially scratch up a disc. Also I haven't heard of the elites acting up or anyone that I know of that have recently bought a new 360 having any problems with them. Atleast Microsoft fixes their problem for free. Sony never did fix their PS2's that broke, and yes they did break just as much maybe more then the 360. The only difference is Microsoft went public with it so now everyone thinks that EVERY 360 is going to fail.

really? I still have my original PS2 from the original release. Still works great

My friend had a PS2 that broke. He gave it to me. I called it in and Sonny fixed it for Free. How can u say they don't? I didn't pay a cent.

OK let me put this into a different view. If the world of console gamings worked differently as like how DVD are. Different players but same movies. Since we're comparing hardware quality and not games. Let change some things. Lets say that ALL console games came on the same media and ALL games could be played on either machine. So MGS4 and Gears of War and Halo will work on both machines. The 360 is cheaper and came out earlier than the PS3. One machine made my MS the other made by Sony. Now answer me, would you still buy a 360 with all the known hardware failures? Again remember this is strictly comparing hardware.

If you are talking hardware, then you really have to ask yourself what do you want it to do? Me being strictly gamer, I could careless about watching movies in Blu-ray and really couldn't care about browsing the net on my console. For purely gaming alone, I will always say 360 over PS3.

How can you play both sides of the argument? You stated earlier that you should buy the PS3 simply b/c it has Blu-Ray. I brought up a counter to that argument, and now you say that it has nothing to do with it. Go back and read what I said again.


And yes, I did think about that. And guess what? If it fails, Microsoft will fix it. For free. Sony will not. And guess what? Both systems fail. Ever think about that?

Yes, I would. The controls are smoother, the accessories better (imo), and why do you mention just the 360s hardware failures. What about the PS3's known hardware failures? You know, the ones that Sony works so hard to cover up. Microsoft admitted to their hardware failures, and are fixing them FOR FREE. I would prefer that anyday over a company who denys the problems, and charges people to fix them.

hmmm, I'm leaning towards the ps3. The lack of games is a killer. Anyone know what are the big names coming up for each system?

I have both consoles with quite a lot of games on both.If I had to sell one tomorrow it would instantly be the 360.I wouldn't even have to think about it.My kids would even agree.Both have good games(although Halo3 was a huge let down for me and my son) Over all I prefer the feel of the PS3.Being able to stream all my media flawlessly from my pc is a must for me.This includes xvid,avi and divx files.Something the 360 is useless at without running the Transcode360 software which runs slow and only reduces the quality.As a media player the 360 really is lacking.To add to this no blue ray.I myself am waiting for the 360 to die after seeing a few of my Friends receive the ring of death and somewhat less adequate service.Also, why pay for on line play with the 360.I paid for the game and the Internet connection.Shouldn't this be enough.I am glad Sony realized this.

good answer. what would you say are the best games for either system. Either out now or coming out soon?
