Poll Should I buy a 360 or PS3? RPG and Action/platformer lover. (2 votes)
Hey all, now that the new consoles are solidly out I figured I would buy a last gen machine at some point and try some of the console exclusive titles I've missed out on. I'd be interested in opinions and answers for certain questions.But to start with, I'm mostly interested in RPGs (in particular the "Tales of" series) and maybe some action/3d platformer games. I have no interest in console FPSs or online multiplayer, so the xbox live fee is not an issue, and being a PC gamer only console exclusives will be bought. I've been leaning towards a 360 simply because Tales of Vesperia doesn't seem to have a ps3 english version, but the PS3's blue ray capability is attractive too. I've heard the 360 generally has better multiplatforms between the two as well. Any opinions which console would be better given the qualifications above?
Also, any suggestions as to a reputable place to buy either for fairly cheap (like $100-150 or below), preferably new? $200+ is a ridiculous price for machines so old, IMO. If not, how long in general does it usually take for the old generation consoles to plummet in price? Also what was the deal with backwards compatibility? I know ps3 took that out in the earlier versions but do the 360's still have that?
