Basically i work for in a game store, and i 60gb ps3 came in, with discount i picked it up for £150 (bargain) along with burnout, mgs4, lbp, uncharted, (in wipeout hd and superstardust hd) and i literally havent played on my 360 since, i have no idea why, i have fallout in its wrapper, gears has only got 10 hours or so play time, and dead space is half way through.

 i dont get why! at work im starting to see ALOT more people buy ps3's, although we sell alot more 360 games ps3's are certainly starting to catch up, and for all the people saying blu-ray is rubbish etc etc a decent blu-ray player is £200 so your getting the ps3 for £100. the interface is just alot smoother, slicker even though home is a gimmick! 

 and the wii...well every week i go to work and some crappy game has come out involving ice skating or cheerleading or something crap, shouldnt even be allowed to be called a games console!

 

anyway....just my rant :)

That's what usually happens when you get something new. You play the older stuff alot less.

having both PS3 & 360 am trying to play both as much as possible... lately my 360 was getting more love, with Fifa 09 and obviously Geow2... this weekend i got LBP and Resistance2 this morning so most probably i'll spend more time on PS3 now.. (considering i enjoy playing SOCOM too)

Blog. Why you haven't played Fallout, given more time to Gears 2, or completed Dead Space... I'm guessing because the PS3 is newer. Also, where do you work? Because 360 is whooping PS3's ass in the UK right now, especially since the price drop.

Nice selection of PS3 games, although I'm surprised you stopped halfway thru DeadSpace. I'm playing that on PS3 right now and it's really great.

make sense, since both systems offer the same experience. theres really no reason to own them both together. your better off owning one or the other.

That's what I do but unfortunately my PS3 died last week. And I had 3 RROD's as well so I'm pretty screwed either way, lol.

i LOVE dead space but i dotn know, wipeout, burnout (i dont know why!) are keeping me occupied. 

i work for gamestation, but i ask alot of people and they seem to get it just for the blu-ray.

Pretty much the exact opposite for me. I bought a ps3 and after a few days went right back to playing my 360 excessively.

You are bad luck... backs away slowly... Seriously though sorry to hear that, just keep looking at your Kaz and hulk-a-mania in your sig, that makes me smile everytime I see it. Kazs smile is infectious.

i prefer the structure of trophys, and the fact there compulsory in 2009 :) like im getting socom, resistance and bioshock (again) even though i had it on my 360. i was a HUGE gears fan boy, i completed the 2nd one on insane after a few hours and i havent played on it since...completed horde with a few mates on hardcore...i dont know why!

I bought a PS3 last march and I don't play it at all - I buy games for it (Drakes, Socom, Burnout, MGS, Motor Storm, Resistance) but the system can't keep me.

I am exactly the opposite.  I have a PS3 and I have about 5 exclusives and played them through once and they have just sit there since.  I have a much larger 360 collection and I play them off and on from time to time.  I use the PS3 as a Blue-Ray player primarily and play a occasional exclusive game.

I buy multi-plat game and exclusives on my 360 and PC.

You see for me its the same but not the same. basically i work for a games store and a few months ago a 60 gb ps3 came in, and i got it for £250 with mgs4 and ds3, i loved mgs4, but since then, although i have quite a few games for my ps3 I just havnt played it, the 360 is so much more appealing. And I have started to notice the ps3 sales have gone waaay down, a few months back they were at a spike, but now everyone is just trading thiers in for 360's.

I have both 360 and ps3, and to say that my ps3 getts a 1/4 of the use my 360 gets would be a huge over exageration. It is a great bluray player i have 2 ps3 games and almost 30 360 games. the multiplats are slightly better on the 360.

Even though more people are playing the 360 than the PS3, at least you're having fun and can enjoy both systems games. As for the Wii, you forgot about the thousand or so doggy grooming sims released weekly;)

My 360 has been collecting dust for over a year now... but thats because I never move it. It stays in my entertainment center and the most I ever do is press the eject disc button to swap out games to play.

I use my PS3 more than I do my 360 as well.  But more or less for the other functions (Web browser, Blu-Ray) than for actual gameplaying. I actually like it this way.

I don't have a 360 but if I did I think it would be smarter to buy multiplats on PS3, just because you don't have to worry as much about the PS3 dying and the Blu-rays don't scratch like DVDs.

I always buy Multiplats for the PS3, extensive use of my brother's 360 will probably get him a RROD much faster. with the PS3 you have a quality gaming rig, and I dont have to live in fear of my console dying.
