If you have a PS3 and a Gaming PC, do you really need to have an Xbox 360...?

Hi, I have both consoles and a Gaming PC, but I sometime think that having an Xbox 360 is not all necessary.

I love the X360 as well as the PS3, it's just that most of the games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Fable, and L4D I prefer to play on my PC. I can up the Graphics, and also, Mods :).

PS3 has some nice unique games already out and coming soon: (Resistance, Infamous, Twisted Metal, Socom, Killzone, LBP, ModRacer, Last Guardian, GOW, GT5, Uncharted, Agent, 3D Dot, Heavy Rain, Demons Souls, MAG, Yakuza, MotorStorm, MLB Show, and MGS4) well, you get the idea. I won't even mention FF13 Versus since we don't know where it truly lies, hehe, and FF Online because that is coming out for PC as well.

There are some games on Xlive (Pacman, Banjo, Raiden, Ikaruga... etc.) & PSN (PixelJunks, Comet Crash, Wipeout, Warhawk, Fat Princess... etc.).

If I only own a PS3 and a Gaming PC, the only thing I can think of for an X360 that you may be missing out on is Halo (myself, not so into Halo), Natal ( I already use PS Eye), Forza, and the latest game, Alan Wake. I like Tales of Vesperia X360, but I believe it will come to US PS3 someday.

So, what else is worth to have an X360?

Incoming angry people, prepare yourself.

If I have a gaming PC and an X360.. do I really need a PS3? :|

I mainly use my 360 for halo games. halo 3, halo 3: OSDT, and the halo reach beta. halo reach is so good, I haven't touched my ps3 or pc since may 3rd. but, tuesday alan wake comes out, so I might play that a bit.

I have those 3 and play my 360 the most out of the 3, my PS3 collects dust as well, and PC gets some attention from time to time.

i'd never want to prevent myself from playing Earth Defense Force 2017, or Halo or Forza or Crackdown or Gears or etc.

it still has its uses, notably renting games and playing splitscreen with friends

can't do that with my PC, tho i do play games online with friends over Steam

360 exclusives

360/PS3 games that are mainly better on 360

XBLA

To me, I don't play much PC exclusives, mainly multiplats, and I don't play hardly any PS3 multiplat, mainly exclusives, and some good ones don't impress me.

Those are my real reasons.

Not at all. If you want it, then that's up to you. I personally find enough games to play, even though I own a 360, PC, PS3 and Wii.

No, not unless you really like Gears of War, Halo or Forza :P

I don't need any of them, they are luxary items.

I do however own a PS3, Wii, 360, PC, DS and a PSP.

Why? No idea, i seems to have more money then sense.

I play my Wii the least of all my consoles, followed by my PS3 which ... Well i just plain don't like.

I think the 360 and PC is a fine choice, the 360 has as much exclusives as the PS3, besides, the majority of these exclusives are far overrated imo.

GOW, UC, Halo all pretty **** compared to how they were rated.

If you wish to play the 360 exclusives, then yes. I don't understand why this question is asked. Crackdown 2, Halo Reach, Alan Wake, Fable 3 (at least for now), Forza 3, PGR, etc.

If you have any desire to play any of these games then Yes, you do need one. Since they are literally only on 360. If not, then no, you don't. This should be self explanatory. Don't understand why flamebait always needs to be put up.

yes, because the Xbox 360 is a thousand times better than the PS3

I use my 360 for superior Netflix, a few exclusives, and superior multiplats. PS3 for Blu-Ray and best exclusives. PC for everything else (I'm primarily a PC gamer). If I had to get rid of one, I'd choose the 360, because the PS3's exclusives are significantly better than the 360's.

Although the PS3 and PC are my best combo to me, which I thought, the XBOX 360 is only needed if you like to have as many achievements you want or you like games intensely.

ps3/pc is the best combo by far.Totalgym9000

. If you have to get two systems and you want to play more than just a handful of exclusives on the other, the 360 is a terrible choice. 1 stone = 2 birds is bad math.Senor_Kami

Barely. If you want to play 360 exclusives, you need a 360. It depends what you feel is neccesary and it's not something that you can form a consensus on.

Sure. There are games for it that I would not or could not play on my PS3 or PC. Like Bayonetta, Forza 3, Halo 3, so on. Its not my most used system right now, but I don't feel any regret owning it..Skittles_McGee

EDIT: If you own a gaming PC then did you play dragon Age on the PS3?

Actually I did at the time, my PC was acting wonky, I have since reformated and fixed (stupid vista! Back to reliable stable xp for me!), but i was too anxious to play dragons age. I do wish now that I had to pc version though. AS Baldur's gate, Torment, etc.. are some of my favorite pc rpgs.

Midnightshade29

Ok... then why did you play Sacred 2 on the PS3 then? according to your profile, this was a recent rating

[QUOTE="Karnage108"]

[QUOTE="Doro120"] Thats true too, but at the moment, there are more exclusive titles to play on PS3. I guess if one won't really care much of the PS3 games. Im just saying because a PC is like having and X360 to me. Thats why my topic is If you had a PS3/PC, why need X360 :). It could very well also be "Why have PC, when you have X360/PS3"ohthemanatee

I have same feeling. I mean, I own the 3, but the only thing the X360 at the moment, I want to try is Alan Wake. But what happens after that, after I finish it... Nothing really looking forward to. I mean Natal I believe will not be that great. I mean PS3 Eye is about the same and I don't like gaming on the PS Eye. I mainly use it as a Mic or Web Cam with my family. Halo Reach Im not really excited about. I'm just a little tired of Halo (for me only, my opinion). Alan Wake at least is different, but X360 just for that game? Doro120
