Gamespot this is my first post. Early this year I was choosing on upgrading my pc, or purchasing a current gen handheld or console. I first crossed out the pc since a high end video card would cost so much. not to add motherboards, etc. and fewer games(some old games are pc exclusives) but those are playable on my current pc.) Having a handheld also became my option, and became close to getting a psp, But upon further reading online I have narrowed down onto a ps3 and xbox 360. The wii was a nice console, with great games,but I prefer the normal controllers. Honestly I wanted to get the ps3 at first, but after reading more I got the xbox 360, Now, 4months after. my only regrets was that I let go of a blu ray, but I got achievements instead of trophies. and some of the exclusive games for the xbox is more suitable for me, than the other console's exclusives. And I got the controller that fits my hands.. I just hope that this console will be on green lights, never on red. For me I think I made the right choice, mainly because of the better controller and more games that suit me. what about yours..

Yeah my PS3 fits the bill perfectly for me, i enjoy blu-rays and the multimedia side of the ps3, games are great especially exclusives so yeah I feel i got the right one as my xbox never really caught on, i did play Gears 1+2, got about 8 or 9 others too but when i got my ps3 it just felt so much better and i have never changed my mind.

I first got a 360 this gen because I preferred the xbox to the PS2 last gen. So I stuck with 'em. But I always go both ways and got a PS3 as well. Still if I had to choose only one to play, it would be the 360.

I went Wii60, and then I realized how much I played the 360 and didn't play the Wii, so I sold it. I am perfectly content with my sole Xbox 360 (well, and PC) gaming experience.

Really, the only game I wouldn't mind having a PS3 for is Heavy Rain. Everything else I don't really care about. IMO Halo is much better than Killzone, and I would probably hardly play Uncharted if I had it. I am much happier having Halo, Gears, and Mass Effect than anything the PS3 offers, so I am happy I went Xbox.

There is a psychological phenomenon that suggests everyone is going to support their purchase... people don't like viewing themselves as uninformed, you see.

First, I got a wii on launch date. It was fun and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Then I got a 360 and I haven't touched my wii since 2008. Last year, I got a PS3 and I absolutely love it. Overall, I like the PS3 better than the 360, but I would never give it up. I use my PS3 for my single player games and games with good graphics. I use my 360 for all my online games and the exclusives. And if there is a multiplat, I go with my PC, which tops everything. If you a single player type of guy, get PS3. If you can't get enough multiplayer, got with the 360.

roughly 2 years ago I was able to buy my first next gen console. since the mgs4 bundle was around that time, I was big on mgs, I was a big fan of the genres supported by sony, and I didnt have a blu-ray player. It was the perfect choice.

then the Wii started getting aweaome games like muramasa, sin nd punishment, and monster hunter tri. last december I ended up getting a wii and I havent regretted it yet.

I really wanted alan wake when it came out, but the best lesson I've ever learned is dont buy a console for one game. I'm getting hardcore addicted to the shmup genre. even tho some have to be imported, the 360 seems like the primary shmup console. now I plan on getting the halo reach bundl

the point I'm trying to make is that all consoles are worth it, but each has their pros and cons. just pick the system which has the features or games that are more important to YOU.

Choose the 360. Although I do want to play Uncharted and God of War 3, I have no regrets.

I didn't really have a choice because the only system I was aloud to buy was a Wii. I really do think it's the worst of all 3 consoles, but oh well.

First I got a Wii. I was totally happy with it. Then I got a PS3. I was happy with it too. If I got a Xbox 360 I would probably be happy too.

my first next gen system was a wii. i wanted a 360 back then but was to scared of rrod to buy it. i was about to give in and buy the 360. but the walmart i went to had a wii in stock. so i said wtf im getting it!!! needless to say bad choice !! **sold it about a year later**

later that summer i ran into about 500 bucks and set out to buy a hd system. i bought a 360 elite for 479 it was great and i loved it but it was really loud and i was still scared of RROD. about a month later i watch E3 and the 60 gig ps3 drops to 499. so i i box up my elite and get a full cash refund and ask a randomcheck out girl to use my money to buy a ps3. the total cost was 471 for a 60 gig ps3 with the 10% off. last winter my 60 gig ps3 got YLOD

i wish i woulda just bought a 360 first. then just bought my ps3 slim this year. so i made a few badchoices:(

Not sure. My ps3 Just died from the YLOD. But I loved my time with it. But Im under no warranty and getting it fixed cost 200 bucks. But I have made good friends and had amazing experiences. But itll cost me 300 to get a new ps3.

I'm content with my PS3, but I think I would be happy with a 360... as long as I never had to deal with RROD and disc scratching...

people who dont own both consoles and stay stuck in fanboy mode are the true losers here.

owning both 360 AND PS3 is the only way to go.

Once again, nobody cares about the psychology behind this question. EVERYONEE is going to think they bought the right console. You will not find one person who says, "I hate my current console... I made the wrong choice. I am a poor consumer!"

I only have a Wii this generation and it's served me very well. I doubt I would be satisfied with a Wii as my primary means of gaming, as it is secondary to my PC, but there are loads of great games now and in the near future so it was a good investment.

For any person able to work saving for every console is possible. However if you're young like many people on these forums then no, you'll have to do your research and just choose one. I usually picked the right console for me because I waited for all consoles to be out in the market then bought the one with the games i wanted to play.

I'm feeling good about my 360.

I was contemplatinga PS3 buy these past two months, but I think I'm over that now. I feel that there's more important things I can do with that $400-$500 dollars (with a few games)

I like the 360s exclusives, and I have no issue with PC/360 multiplats. I just play free mods on my PC now. love the controller, I have all my friends on Xbox Live, Halo Reach is coming up. I'm confident in the improved reliability as well. zero problems so far.

well, I'm still lacking in racing games:evil: but otherwise it's all good. 360 feels best for fun-factor IMO,as well asCo-op/split-screen games by a landslide.
