Valv Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Debating what is best for us, Xbox 360 for $ 300 or PS3 for $ 400 ?I tend to go with Sony, but my son wants a 360. I would really like an input on the reason why instead of just a choice.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyNorm07 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I went with a Sony PS3 because, it has the wireless card built in(Xbox does not unless recently changed) and also can play blueray movies. I really enjoy the PS3 but, i have always gone with Sony(i guess my preference) I have never owned a Xbox.. If you need to have the wireless card you going to end up in the end paying about the same price.. Your going to have different people telling you different things..almost like Ford vs. Chevy debate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwecsteeple Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I am debating this too, I think I might go for the xbox if only for the exclusive titles such as Halo3 and Gears of War. I also tend to prefer the xbox controller to the ps3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingFishy* Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I own all 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii) and my xbox gets the most use out of any of them. My PS3 only gets used for watching Blu Ray movies and the girlfriend has the Wii downstairs and uses the Wii Fit. If I had to pick just one I would go with the Xbox 360.One thing to consider is the reason why your son wants the Xbox 360? It may be that is what most of his friends have so will make it so he can play games online with them or maybe just borrow games back and forth.

Valv Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Somethingfishy, you have my approval. I have same situation, we have a Wii, wife and daughter use is, son wants to play with friends which all have 360, I want PS3 so I can watch BlueRay.I think I will go for 360 and call it good.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yes, check with the son if the friends have an Xbox.Other than that, there are 2-3 threads on here which box to buy, scroll back to around Christmas time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewski Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I got a PS3 and a 360 and I love them both. I usually stick with the box for online gaming exept for the few games that are only for ps3.If I had to pick just one it would have to be a 360 due to the fact there are tons of great titles for it.

Valv Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 It's done, 360 it is....and thanks to Zamboni !!! The $ 100 discount in April is a huge factor in waiting. Wife decided we'll sell the Wii and PS2 and get a PS3.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwecsteeple Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I just bought mine Friday off craigslists, got the $300 system for $250. I am kinda regretting it now as video game time is really cutting into my fishing time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i prefer the ps3 i always had a playstation.with the xbox not only you pay for the internet but you also gotta pay to use the xbox online.thats like having 2 internet bills. $5 a month isn't that bad, and the live system works great. I like the xbox exclusive titles as well, but mostly because I prefer shooters (FPS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
