PS3 or Xbox 360?

I need some friendly banter back and forth for which system to get. Right now I'm leaning PS3, because I've had a 360 before and sold it when I needed money. I've got a good job now and I can afford to get a system again. The Blu-Ray player in the PS3 makes it really appealing, but I really a fan of the Xbox 360 games, like Halo and Call of Duty. But most games come on both...

Which should I go for?

It depends on what you will be doing on it. I have an xbox and love it. I also play online a few hours a week so its worth it to me to have a better online platform. I would also consider what your friends have. Ex. If they are all on P3 get that, if they are on xbox get that. Its way more fun to play with friends than alone.

P3 has the blueray player but its pretty much an obsolete technology already. Online streaming is already in HD so pretty much watching DVD/Blueray is going the way of beta max.

Blue ray still has some years left in it's tank, I will say however that If it's available I more then likely lean towards a digital copy of a hd movie since it's usually about 10 dollars cheaper. Online streaming and HD digital downloads will eventually blaze past Blueray just the way Blue ray will/has DVD.

Like everyone said above it's what your going to do with, if you play online a lot or what your friends have and so forth that would decided which one is the best bet for yourself.

Couple friends have 360, couple have PS3. It's really a draw in that department. Either way, when we go over to each others houses, being on the "other" system isn't an excuse for losing, so it doesn't matter in that regard...haha! I can see what you're saying about Blu-Ray, but still, I don't really watch any full newish release movies online in HD.

There's things I like about both consoles, and price is kind of a wash. The only thing motivating me right now is my friend has a broken 360 he hasn't gotten around to fixing, and he said if I end up getting a 360, he'll lend me all his games until he gets it fixed, and he's got some good ones. FIFA South Africa, Madden '10, Gears of War 2, to name a few.

Just my opinion, but if you only get one I'd get a 360. I just have too many friends on Live and enjoy the service. If you don't plan on paying for Gold, or don't have many/any friends on XBox get a PS3. It has better exclusives and a Blu Ray player.

Both are great though. Don't choose. I think they compliment each other nicely.

If you have the money get both, it's the only true way to enjoy the best games. If you can only afford one I prefer the PS3 for its exclusives. *hears jimbo coming in as I type this comment*.....

What is better about Xbox Live's online play? Not saying I disagree, I just honestly don't know. I have a PS3 and I play online just fine. Is Xbox Live more internety?

If you have friends that play online a lot, the 360 is better simply because of cross game party chat. You can set up a party when playing a game and you will only hear the people in your party. The best use from me has been for BC2 where you can actually have 2 squads in the same party, essentially making an 8 man squd. Man, we bulldozed some people like that. You can also chat with friends who are playing different games.

Other than that, there isn't a whole lot of difference. Live might cost money but it comes out to about 3.50 a month. Peanuts.

More people on xbox live...if you're into multiplayer gaming.

If you're into buying Blu-Ray movies...then I'd suggest the PS3.

I think everything else is pretty equal. Both can stream, although the xbox will connect to windows workstations/servers a bit easier and can tap into windows media servers if you have one setup.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
