this is really starting to... annoy me. Now that the PS3's price is dropping, I'm considering getting it, especially cause I want Metal Gear Solid 4. The 360 elite's price dropping probably by 80, I really want that for Gears of War and Halo and... stuff.

You should wait. As PS3 is dropping its price the Xbox 360 will have to follow to stay competitive.

Get the Xbox 360 once its own price drop is released, and come Christmas time get the PS3. Also as the best games for the PS3 aren't coming out till end of the year, and into next year you could probable find good deals when that time rolls around.

I'd wait until after E3 to make your decision, MGS4 could go multiplat, or some awesome Ps3 games could be announced.

Wait until after E3 to make a desicion. See if PS3 is losing any exclusives before your hell bent on one or the other. I personally made that desicion back in January and am somewhat regretting it. ( mainly because the price drop). I enjoyed the games I do own but I could have waited until the Motorstorm PS3 Bundle. Warhawk is the sleeper hit. The beta is great and im hoping they follow Warhawk up with a Twisted Metal game ( online only or full game wouldnt matter... I miss Mr Grimm.)

I'm in a similar situation. I have a wii and I want to add one of the other consoles to it. I'm not even looking thoughatm, since it will be easier for me to forget that they exist so I wont torture myself with possibilitiies and the waiting.I willconsider itagain by this coming holiday season, when there will be plenty of games out for each. To me it seems that the the 360 is better now but worse in the future,but of course if those 360 games pan out, it could have the best of both worlds. Until I do decide, my wii is good enough. (actually, I'm convinced it will be my favorite)

I'd wait till after e3, but honestly the 360 is better right now, for it's vast library of games, and sony dropping the ps3 to 500 bucks isn't appealing to me at all, it's till way too expensive, and bluray is NOT needed.

I would say get a 360 now cuz there are sooooo many good games out currently if you like its library.

I'd get a ps3 later when the price drops and they have a better variety of good games on the system...and when devs figure out how the hell to program for it cuz apparently its a nightmare.

Wait after E3 to solidfy your decisions. I feel that getting a PS3 in 2008 would still be best. Hopefully by them there'll be a headset, a hdmi cable, and sixaxis rumble in the package with a real price drop. Besides MGS4 won't be out till 2008 anyway. You might as well get the Elite now if you got the money.

I now own both a PS3 and a 360. If I had to choose only one right this second, I'd choose the 360. The PS3 is mainly a Blu-ray player for me currently.

I'll echo the othere here and say wait for the announcements at E3, and then choose based on the games you want to play for each platform.

Hears my two cents.

If you buy the Playstation 3 right now. You might feel a bit dissappointed. Due to the lack of games. Now don't game me wrong theres a fair-share of great ones comming place multiplayer games such as Home.

The playstation also has...

  • 780-1080p
  • Good Graphics
  • Sixaxis
  • Blu-Ray
  • Metal Gear Solid 4
  • Lair
  • and Warhawk.
  • It costs 600$



If you buy the 360 now you won't be dissappointed. You'll have more than enough games right now to satisfy your needs before all the big name games come out such as Bioshock, Halo 3, and Unreal 3.

The 360 also has...

  • Better [atm] graphics than the PS3
  • 780p-1080p
  • Xbox Live
  • Xbox Live Arcade
  • Free Demos
  • Great Multiplayer
  • Lots of great games atm
  • Great games comming [loads of them go see.
  • Bioshock
  • Unreal 3
  • Alan Wake
  • Halo 3
  • Postal 3
  • Dead Rising
  • Gears of War
  • Elder Of Scrolls Oblivion [So does the PS3]
  • its 499$ [Get Premium!]



Both are great systems. Both are great. Both will end up amazing. But to me atm Xbox 360 > PS3. However in the comming months that might change? Choose wisely.

Elite has more and better games, although MGS 4 will be awesome get the one you think fits your budget and the one you REALLY think you like...

You really short-cut the PS3 on your above post. PS3 also has free online, free demos, and downable games available.

Yeah you should get an Elite. Wait till the devs finally unlocks the potential of the cell and when they improve the multiplat games. PS3 = 2008.

If you can't decide then I would wait. Things only get better for you with time - more games available, many other games dropping in price, and possibly another price drop. time is on your side.

I would do the same, since MGS won't be here till 08' anyways. Halo is here in 6 weeks anyways. So definitely go this route. I know I would, it's like poker. If you play your cards right you can have both.

Definately wait until after E3. You never know what they might announce. But, my opinion as it stands now, is that the 360 is the better choice. It's definately got the games, and being $100 cheaper helps too. However, you do run the risk of faulty hardware.
