They both play like 90% of the same games so it wouldn't matter to me, but parobably PS3 just cause I wouldn't have to use the horrible 360 D-pad for platformers and fighters.

Xbox 360 Elite cost as much as a regular 80gb PS3 this days. I would have to go with PS3, have more games of my taste

Ah, if I never owned either of the two and I didn't own my Blu-Ray player (Bought it only because my PS3 broke); I'd probably go with the PS3 if it were $299.99 (Gt to get my money's worth, damn it). I have a gaming PC to game on so I don't necessarily "need" my Xbox 360. (Though it is an absolutely spectacular console) :P

what a ridiculously stupid topic. you would get far more value for money if you got a ps3 at £150 or so and you'd be an idiot not to buy it. Its like asking "What would you prefer at the same price? A Ferrari? Or a Peugeot 206?"

But if it's so stupid why did you respond. A lot of people think the 360 is better regardless of price. I'm just wondering if they were the same price if they'd think that. For me when buying a console i want the best one. If i have to pay an extra $100 now ill do it. I'm just trying to figure out which one is really better. People can say money doesn't matter and doesn't influence a majority of people but that's a lie. Money makes hte world go round.

I tried to make it fair by taking blu-ray out of the equation because i want the best game console and blu-ray doesn't really affect games too much so far.

I'd still get the 360. But it would be a more difficult choice.

If the console wasONLY to be used for gaming, then I'd easily choose Xbox360 :)

But really, both consoles are great. I just prefer the X360's controller, XBL and custom soundtracks.

Which one would you prefer as far as a "game" console?(yes i worded it that way on purpose)

Walker34

if they were the same price 360 would be on the shelves while PS3's would be gone.

do you even have to ask ?

Apparently yes, because a lot of people think the 360 is better when it's just priced differently. I can understand liking the 360's controller and it's assortment of games as well as live. I have both right now. I'm honestly not sure which is the better game console, but if they were the same price i agree, the ps3 would be blowing the 360 away right now and those htings wouldnt exist. That's marketing and economics for you.

A lower price wouldn't make ps3 any less of a shooter console.

So ,360.

Price has nothing to do with it for most people, it's all about the games for hardcore players. Games were the deciding factor last gen, thats why the PS2 slaughtered the competition, because it had games as well as a cheaper price over the more expensive Xbox, and the inverse is true now to some extent, the hardcore players are buying 360's because they are cheaper, casuals are buying the Wii cause they are stupid nubs and the PS3 is stuck with only loyal fans and people who want the few exclusives they have and are loyal to Sony's franchise games.

PS3 is more reliable and does more for the same price. Anyone would choose PS3.

you would have to pay me to get a PS3, just do not like what they offer. price is not a persuasive argument for that system.

31-12 for the ps3. Almost a 3:1 ratio. interesting..... or as mr. burns would say excellent. now if the ps3 lowers their price our plan for world domination is almost complete.

Well, "specifically for a game console" i'd still go with 360. Throwing away games and just saying, "which one would you go with" with no criteria outside of my personal wants, PS3. I purchased a 360 for Bio-Ware games and the hope that Rare would give me a sequel to Conker or Jet Force Gemini. With a PS3, i'd miss out on those, but I feel like MGS4 is a good replacement for Mass Effect and in all honesty I doubt Rare is gonna give me a new Conker or Jet Force Gemini. Plus i'd have a Blu-Ray player. 360 + Blu-Ray = PS3. If they're the same price, i'm gonna go for the one that throws in a blu-ray player for free.

Since I have both already, I'm not effected by their price, and knowing what I know having owned both for a while, if they both died and I had to pick just one of them up, it's easy: 360 all the way. My Xbox friends list dwarfs the handful of people on my PSN list. What's more, I like LIVE. But I sure would miss the PS3's ability to upscale DVDs.

Spending $400 for an Elite 360 was something I did because I preferred that choice over the PS3.

I'd still go for the 360.

The 360 is MUCH more of a shooter console than the ps3. It's just that the ps3 best games recently have been shooters, while the 360 have been getting more JRPG's, but the 360 have WAY more shooters that the ps3

I love how so many people say price is not a factor and yet people bash the PS3 for its price. Anyone who says price isn't a factor likely had their Daddy's credit card. At any rate, I would say PS3, assuming that the PS3's reduced price was due to cheaper production costs, which in turn could've meant that Sony could've kept some more exclusives.
