lol You'll enjoy a PS3, but you might miss your 360. The grass is always greener.

I prefer my PS3 though.

I think you should make the switch from 360 to PS360. It'll cost you more money, but I bet you'd be more satisfied in the long run because of the exclusives both consoles will have.

That's my take on it and I'm sticking to it. :)

No, have both! It's really up to you, but the PS3 is a rather awesome machine. And the MGS4 bundle comes out in 12 days, so keep that in mind.

ps3

pros- 4x HDD space, faster processor, more choice of games (ps2), blu ray, internet browser, home/ new trophies, mgs4, ratchet, jak

cons- worse controller, hassle of selling my 360

actually you dont really have to respond, i think i just decided when i compared the pros and cons, but if you have any more insight, please, inform me

Why would you come to system wars and ask that? Need some attention? You already know what the response will be. Cows- ps3 Lems- 360 Real gamers- both

Do you enjoy playing any of your old PS3 games from time to time? Would you miss them at all? I mean, if you have 12+ games, four controllers, a bunch of downloads, and other additional stuff, you are going to lose a lot of money, unfortunately.

Why do you think every "real gamer" would say both? I say, keep the PS3 if you have a lot of games for it. If not, sell it.

id say either get both or just stick with 360 because there are some excellent future exclusives on their way (gears of war 2, halo wars etc)

360 - vastly more imo next gen titles, more RPG's, some off the best shooters, etc etc

no contest, just keep 360, it is unthinkable to me that someone would sell his 360 TBH, especially now that all good games are coming, like the mind blowing Gears 2, Fable 2, Too Human etc etc

Sounds like you are biased towards the PS3, not a bad thing, just sounds like you've already made up your mind in your post. You should own both, but I think most gamers would regret that trade...I know I would. Plus the only model availble right now is the 40gb which has NO backwards compatibility. Jak hasn't been announced and Ratchet was mediocre (sorry), but MGS4 will probably be great (I can't wait). I never use the internet browser (I use a computer...much easier), Home won't be out until next year with all of the delays, trophie=achievements, and HDD space is great....unless all your games require a mandatory install and use it up (which can be good/bad depending on your perspective). I think both systems are great, but considering your, somewhat silly, pros and the bad deal you are going to get cash/credit-wise from selling your 360...in my opinion it is a bad move. But you don't sound like me anyways, so take this however you'd like and I hope you make the best decision for YOU.

He has a 360, Why sell one system for another? You lose money and will regret it. He was asking if he should sell his 360 for a ps3, cows will say do it, lems say no, realgamers say keep it and save for the ps3. Does it make sense now?

After reading my post its sounds rude, I didnt know how else to word it.

aswell, the failure rate is much lower, which has pissed me off lately, today my xbox disc drive was trying to open in the middle of a game and i was on the couch playing it, and i will have my psp to use with it aswell which i know isnt a HUGE deal but it is a plus still

i can also just go over to my friends houses and play their copies of gears 2 etc. and they can come and play MGS4 etc., it seems like a good decision, ps3 it is, 95% anyways

PC>>>>>>>>360>PS3

I would reccomend it if you don't own a gaming PC. Otherwise stick with your PS3 or sell it and buy some PC games

Well TC, you said one of the reasons you would want the ps3 is for ps2 games. I'm guessing you didn't own a PS2 then? If this is the case, you will be VERY satisfied with a PS3 since PS2 had disputably the greatest variety/quality of games all time (although i don't personally think so). However, like people have been saying, you will get a lot more value in the long run as well as many exclusives if you just save up for a PS3 and keep your 360.

If you enjoy playing only shooters, I suggest sticking with 360.

It's difficult to say the PS3 does lack some quality titles because the XBox360 did have a year headstart but I think there are some really promising games for it like Metal Gear Solid 4,Little Big Planet,Gran Turismo 5 coming out in the future.

Purchase another systems is always better than selling one for another due the fact you will be jipped from you already spent funds.

The PS3 is not backwards compatible last i saw (i'm sure only the old 60Gig is), the processor thing is debatable sony have hyped it to be something it is not. The 360 and PS3 are close in technical specs but I would give the 360 the edge at the moment based on the games released. 360 has the edge in multiplat games in terms of visuals and framerate.

Basically it comes down to what do you prefer Lair, Haze, MGS4, Resistence, FF13, GT5 or Too Human, GeOW, Halo, PGR, Forza Motorsport and Mass effect.

My bad. I read his post wrong. He said switch FROM 360 to PS3. Goddamn, I'm so stupid. :)
