I dont want to buy a PS3....?

Question

I am very much thinking about buying a new xbox 360 with the 60 gb hard drive or the 20gb i don't much mind if they are the same price (or near enough). I just need some fair comments to push me into purchase as i can only just afford it and dont want to waste £200. Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

the only reason the PS3 is nearly double the cost is simply the blu-ray gaming. i can assure you that there is no recognisable difference between blu-ray and HD. i have a HD tv with my xbox 360 and it is outstanding quality!! if you do not have HD then blu-ray is awful!!

xbox live is 10 times better than PS3 as you can change your name, on ps3 you are stuck with the name you first choose!!

you can talk to people via private chat, with people who are not even in the same game!!

and soo much more!!

you can put music and videos on it, and the 60 gb is about £10 more i believe

the 360 also recieve updates weekly which takes about 30 seconds to upload but is worth it compared to PS3's yearly updates!!

Answer 2

the 360 is probably a cool console, especially live, however ps3's online is totally free, all kinds of stuff is coming to the ps3 man. The ps3 is more however you get so much more in it. you can also upgrade your harddrive to whatever you choose, unlike 360 you are forced to buy microsoft brand of hard drive, which are pretty pricey. you wouldnt be making any mistakes getting a ps3...however 360 is cheaper,

I have an 80G PS3 and love it. I don't know much about the xbox 360, but if it doesn't have a blu-ray player (which plays regular DVD's as well as PS2 games if you want), and you can't put your music/videos on it I wouldn't even consider it over the PS3. But if it does have those things, then I guess its about how much you want to spend and what games you like better for whatever one.

In response the person below me, PS3 does receive updates ,I'd say once every couple of weeks that takes only a few seconds and you CAN change your name. If he is saying the Xbox has HD DVD, they have stopped making them. The only high-definition movies that are going to be made from now on will be blu-ray.

Answer 4

get the xbox 360 it is more affordable meaning you can get games when you buy it and the 60gb and 20gb are the same price so get 60gb one

Answer 5

i own a ps3 60gb and an xbox 360 elite and i would say to get a playstation 3. the other people who have answered you apart from about 2 of them are simply xbox fanboys tellin gyou to get an xbox because they like it and there not considering your possition.

i would say to wait until august 27th when the new playstation3 80gb model is released (£299).

now i understand that this may be a little more then your budget but it will work out cheaper in the long run. now unlike the fanboys i will explain why.

the playstation 3 has bluray, this means that the discs have a capacity of 50gb whilst the xbox 360 uses dvd's which are only 9gb. a good example of the problems this can cause is rage a new game coming out next year. rage is having to be stored on 3 discs on the xbox 360 because the discs simply dont have the space and the graphics are being substantially downgraded on the 360 because of this.  another reason to get a playstation 3 is the online. it is free wheras you have to pay £39.99 a year for xbox live. also referring to the thing about not changing your name. yes this is true but its not easy on xbox eather you have to pay around £5 just to change ure name on xbox which i think is absolutely disgusting. also you get wifi built into the ps3 and included in the price whereas on the 360 you ghave to pay £59.99 for an add-on. also if xbox 360 ever does geta blu ray add-on then it will be atleast £150 if not more. this is built in to the playstation 3. also the xbox 360 has 3 processors and the ps3 has 8 thats pretty self explanatory. what that means is that the ps3 will and is already edging ahead of the xbox 360 graphics wise and gameplay wise as it has over double the power of the xbox 360. i have alot more plus sides to the ps3 but im sure that will be enough to convince you. and no people i am not a fanboy because if i was i would proudly admit it i am just an ordinary hardcore gamer speaking the truth. take the advice and get a ps3.

I'm a ps3 owner n neva had a problem with it i got it as soon as it came out n i love it n People said xbox better but me n my mate chris said it wasn't n we stuck by that till now because u have to pay to get ur xbox on line but if u have a wireless router u can connect it up with ut internet on ur computer n all them People who said it was better including my cuzon now are buying a ps3 n selling there xbox 360 because ps3 got less chance for getting various and ps3 accessories are better especially the eye camera n it easy to set up

Answer 7

Well if you want a 360 get one but I think you'll be happy with a PS3.

Some games are only possible on it. And there are too many goood titles that are yet to come. Online is free. And it is a better deal. I still dont see why everyone thinks its expensive when u dont need to buy any accessories!!!

Or you can get a Wii which is great too.
