why not make an attempt at being an informed consumer and research each system yourself to see what is right for you?

You have to make this decision on your own. if you want a 360 but it, if you don't, then don't buy it. To me it was worth it to buy all 3 systems.

Why be a puppet to other people's opinions?
Do the research, find out what you want, and don't buy anything based on other peoples opinions.
Too many topics like these really drag down the forums.

I don't see the point of getting the elite, premium will do. Just make sure you have a new built one so they have improved weldings. If you don't like the 360 exclusives don't get one. If you do like them, get one. Besides, I personally hate the sony controllers with a passion because they cramp up my hands.

You've created a similar thread on the PS3 forums aswell? If you're stuck for a decision, flip a coin.

I have the same problem, I bought my 360 and regret cause despite what anyone says, the games just dont appeal to me. I listened to everyone else's opinions. So just go with your gut feeling which is getting a PS3.

PS: If your not happy with it then we can trade.

I don't see how a PS3's gamming line up looks any better, it doesn't exsist.

Get a 360 simply because of one word......

GAMES! 360 has great games to choose from and many of them in there library. Just go with the what ever you want. Do your own research and pick which one you want. (I KNOW YOUR A SONY TROLL SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO WITH THE BS3.)

i understand wat people our saying and this should be ur descision cause its a lot money were talking about.

wat i will say is this, the reason i got a 360 is tht i prefer the gaming line up most decent games tht the ps3 were gonna get our also comming to the 360 nd the 360 has its own really gd exclusives. now there our even RUMOURS (nd thats all so dnt give me grief if it doesent) about metal gear solid coming to the 360

for one, 360 is what? at most 500 dollars, and the PS3 is i think 700, and the fact that you can only play a game on your console and not take it to a friends house and play on his is one of the most ridiculus things ever, any way, sony sucks

Wait for the 360's price drop before the holidays rumured to be 100 dollars then see if the ps3 follows. Also wait to see if the

ps3 keeps losing exclusives and pushing back all they're big games. I'm willing to bet around christmas time you'll see that the 360 is probably gonna be the best choice imo.

If you're going to buy a 360 for the first time, the Elite is definitely worth the money IF:

1. you have a tv, or will have in the extremely near future, that has an HDMI input.

2. you need the 120GB storage space.

3. you want the charcoal case, W/O having to buy a seperate case and install everything.

Those are the only three reasons that I can possibly think of that you would want an Elite over a premium. I have the Elite, but I didn't have to pay for it. It was a gift from a friend that went to Iraq. If I WOULD have had to make the choice, I would have went with the Elite..

why wouldnt they put hd-dvd in the elite?
why micro$oft? kreestoph

Because they are being smart! They aren't commiting to either Side of the Format war! Why put a HD-DVD player of Blu-Ray player in your console if it has the possibility of FAILING? That would be losing a whooooole lot of money. Not only for the company but for the consumer as well. If I were to get a PS3 now and Blu-Ray ends up losing... then I have a 600 dollar console that runs on a dead Format. Or if they Xbox 360 DID have HD-DVD and HD- DVD loses... thenI just have an Xbox 360 with a built in HD-DVD player that is now useless. I would have just lost quite abit of money in EITHER investment.

I have all three consoles and if i could only have one it would be a 360, it's not a hard decision just looks at all the games available for it.

Because Microsoft unofficially supports it. The problem is they don't want to be caught with12 million units that runs a loser format. You see... the thing is. If you put out an HD-DVD Attachement You lose the risk of having 12 million dud units. You don't have to say "Well... Now we're gonna start making 360's using Blu-Ray Drives and gonna leave you 12 million gamers in the rain! SORRY!" It's either that or lose several million dollars by doing a 12 million console recall and installing a new Blu Ray Drive.

Not to mention it's cheaper to just put out a console with basic DVD. If we got an Xbox 360 with an HD-DVD player it would cost as much as a PS3. Instead of forcing the HD-DVD player on people... the offer them the option. Just like with the Core , The Premium, and The Elite.

anyways. What's your Signature from?

a) this topic really belongs over in system forums

b) if you really need reasons, heres some very compelling ones: Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3.

See you in October.

We are, for the most part, biased here on the X360 forums. So, we'll talk you into buying an X360, and the PS3 guys will talk you into buying a PS3. Lair, what is that? A dragon fighting game? Why don't the make it awesome to the max and add in Pirates, ninjas, vampires, and super zombies?!?!?!

i own both, let me save you a nightmare mistake. 1st psn is free online, as the old saying goes you get what you pay for NOTHING. and believe me you'll be sorry. second the community on xboxlive is great you can talk to people while playing other games. you dont even get a head set with ps3. you need blue tooth thats 50 bucks. more for a headset. 3rd.theres no one online for ps3 its a ghost town. 4th, if your going to spend ps3 money get an elite. you'll be better off. other then that. ps3 is dead for this year and maybe the next half of 2008. its horrible. i have'nt played but maybe 40 hours on my ps3 for the last 6 months.,

lol asking people to make the decision for you is a bad idea. just cuz other people think that one system is better than the other doesn't mean it's the bestsystem for you. it all depends on what you like. someone might say that ps3 is better because of Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance, and Gran Turismo 5 and another person might say that X360 is better cuz of Gears of War, Halo 3, and Forza Motorsport 2, when in fact you personally mighthate all of those games! You have to decide for youself which system has the better games. Games are the first step that you have to take into consideration. and there are lots of good games that are on both systems, like Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, GTA IV, and Assassins Creed. (those games are not taken into consideration cuz they are available on both systems, so either system you choose you will be able to get them). Once youmake a list ofyour personal favorite games on each system, next consider the options each system has out of the box. PS3 has blu-ray built in and free online - however it is more expensive for the system ($600 - there's only one model of the ps3 now). X360 can get high-def play back for the $200 add-on and online is $50 a year - however it is cheaper for the system (. so in terms of cost you should say: do I want high-def movieplay-back? do i want online gaming? those are decisions you have to make on your own. You should also consider backwards compatibility - PS3 is compatible with 97% of all PS1 and PS2 games. X360 is compatible with about 40-50% of Xbox 1 games. but those numbers shouldn't matter to you if you don't care about playing older games. Just sit down and consider everything that each system has to offer and at what price (if money isn't an issue to you than don't worry about the prices lol)

no one can say one system is better than the other - it always differs from each individual's liking. I personally have a PS3 and i'm perfectly happy withit and my friend has a X360 and he's perfectly happy with it. that's proof that no one can say one is better than the other. it depends on YOU! I hope this helps youmake your own decision.

No one new element/feature in the 360 Elite is worth a purchase IMO, but everything together, particularly if you don't have any Xbox 360 yet makes it the best choice if you want to get things started right.

I myself wouldn't have even bothered for one if it wasn't for my premium getting effed up and the prospect of being able to 'upgrade' to the Elite for cheap.

i can say which one is better i own both, its not like there twins. there is a difference ps3 sucks ass. period. and dont let no one tell you different. especially the community, you have to leave the game you read a message on ps3, on xbox your blade just slides out and you can read your message and your still in the game. how is that better then the xbox. thats just one in a trillion things better then garbage ps3, dont let someone who DOES"NT OWN BOTH HIMSELF TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT ask and i shell tell.

And Xbox 360is that great? Please, be serious. You guys are just sticking up for your console just like the PS3 fanboys are sticking up for their system. If you ask me both suck. This is a horrible gen for gaming. 360 is polluted with overhyped shooters and games that dont live up to the hype (ahem, Tenchu Z anyone? I'm STILL waiting 2 years into the release of the 360 to release a good exclusive. Too Human and Mass Effect are gonna be the firsts. But like the rest of the 360 exclusives, they probably wont even live up to the hype.

He did this in the PS3 asking us to convince him for a PS3. Just get a Wii.
