40gig PS3 or XBOX 360

[rock 10]

I'm thinking about purchasing the 40 gb PS3 or the 360. Which do one do you gamers prefer and why?

 

I heard the PS3 actually has a slight advantage in graphics quality. Based on my personal comparison I believe this is true.

 

PS3's blue ray would be pretty cool to have and it would go well with my Blockbuster membership; however, I'm more concerned about the number of quality games coming out for the systems.

 

I'm worried that I'll regret purchasing the 360 if a lot of games begin to roll out for the ps3.

I've got a 360 and love it. I think the selection of games is good and growing. Many of the old Xbox games are compatible as well. Xbox Live, the online playing service, is just awesome. You can tap into your wireless internet at home and play people all over the world. I think Xbox Live sets the 360 apart.

I prefer to use the PC for playing games against other people so I'd to the PS3 over the 360. I've always been a PlayStation type of guy. The PS3 has Assiassin's Creed which looks spectacular. The graphics are also of a better quality. Remember that the PS3 being a newer console hasn't had enough time for developers to really explore its full potential. Remember just how sophisticated some of the games on the PS2 were at the end of it's life compared to the first ones that popped up?

 

If you want to play all out multiplayer games stick to your PC imho.

Dang, you guys are quick!

I've been doing some light research on it after I posted the thread and I was actually thinking the same as Nick1984. Perhaps I should just buy a new graphics card; however, before I do that, I'll need to address another issue about eye strain from the use of an LCD computer monitor that I'll probably post another thread on.

 

My primary reason for a new game console is for much needed stress relief. I'll probably end up waiting until next year to see how things turn out; however, the intense need of stress relieve may cause me to make an early impulsive buying decision.

I would go with the 360, but that's just because I prefer the games. I need to buy a 360 and stop using my friends, then we can all have a TL xbox live game.

Playing online would be pretty cool but I'd most likely get OWNED!!!

I'm not much of a gamer.

PC all the way....and maybe a WII to get a workout :fight:

My wife got a WII for me and my daughter for Christmas. It was supposed to be a surprise but I got it out of her.

 

edit: She also got a PSP slim for us.

Rock - the Wii is pretty cool. I wasn't sure about it and my buddy got one and it's a blast. I actually was pretty sore the day following our tennis match... Be careful how hard you swing that 'racket' at the beginning. You don't want tennis elbow! :rofl:
