PS3 better graphic n gameplay... this is my opinion

Well, first thing is you're asking in the wrong section.

I was considering either one when I had a chat with a friend of mine.
In the end I decided on the PS3. I liked the games that was only exclusive to the PS3, which I know I will regret if I bought the Xbox 360 instead.

The other thing was that I like to play online, the Playstation Network being free was the thing that tipped the balance for me.

Though I understand that the Xbox 360 have cheaper games and I guess you know why but then I kinda miss the old days, where I had my Sega Megadrive and games on cartridges was as expensive as the PS3 games now. I still remember how much time I spend on a particular game and the memorable moments on it after mastering the game unlike when I got the PS and PS2, where there is too many games, and I only spend a short amount of time on each one of it. Most of it I didn't even play it at all.

Anyway, that's the reason I prefer the PS3. But then if you can afford it, I would still say getting both would be the best choice as some games are better on Xbox 360 like Bayonetta for example.

its really simple. xbox360 with cheap games can't play online. to me online multiplayer is everything. i won't sacrifice that for cheaper games. i choose playing with humans anytime of the day then playing with a machine.

if online multiplayer is not a plus for u, but instead u don't mind local multiplayer, then go ahead buy the 360 with cheap games. but u can't change your mind anymore after u made that decision. if in d future u wanna go back online, u again have to seel your 360 and buy another console. u can't have your cake and eat it all yourself

i have a secret. i can buy one game and it last pratically forever. i know i am working, but its not that i have no money to buy games, the main problem is i have no time. so when i buy a game, i be playing it for months before i am done with it. and with online multiplayer, the game is always fresh coz u learn new things from your friends out there. same game, but new fresh way of playing. it's a vicious cycle, it just doesn't end....maybe if u thing of games that way it won't be so hard on your pocket. u don't need quantity, just quality will do.

with that, maybe your solution is to change your p1 to streamyx that support better online gaming. your game don't get bored easily when u r playing with the world.

Yea. Kinda understand his dilemma of having 2 younger brothers.

I have 2 younger bro and sis, though not directly blood related.
They only come over during the long school holiday.
That's why lucky I still have the PS2.

They get bored easily with the PS3 as I only have a few games on it and the games are probably too complicated for them to play. They don't like playing online either since they keep getting pwned on COD MW2, MGS Online and Uncharted 2.

So usually bro would play dota on my pc (he can be my mentor by now) and sis would keep switching games on the PS2, while I have the PS3 all to myself.

Look like you already make up your mind to buy X360

As an ex-owner of X360, yes, modded X360 is good for you to test out games but the monthly online subscription + RROD (i kena twice in 2 machines) + banhammer (kena ban twice) is making me lose more money than buying a PS3 + original games + free online + better quality product (no YLOD or anything as of now after 9 months)

I have bought about RM1K worth of X360 games (ori + pirated) but i can frankly tell you that i didn't touch more than half, some i tried for 1-2 hrs and never touch again etc.

TS already made his mind to buy Xbox360

so guys..let's vote for Xbox360

Haha.

I understand ramz. He is like me. We're the type that prefer to play online with players and there is already no turning back as we're already hooked to it. I might be even worst since I play World of Warcraft. So I love the interaction with other players even more.

As for your case, how long to go until your student life is over?
If there is like 2-3 years to go. I think it is quite feasible to get a xbox 360 already.
You have a lot of time to play as a student so you would love to have more games to play with your bros.

But beware, don't play until your grades fluctuate ok?

Yea. L.S.D is right on this as an ex-owner of xbox 360.
You better check on xbox 360 problems that you can encounter.
Probably do some reading on the xbox 360 section.
The Red Ring of Death is rather scary and unlike a PS3, you can't send it back to the manufacturer to fix.

thinking out of d box, why not a wii? u don't get banned online on the wii, u get all the free games u want and don't want. playing local multiplayer is best experienced on the wii (yes, it sure beats xbox360/ps3 for local multiplayer). the things r d games lah, which r more family oriented. BUT (a big but), there ARE mature games that r of excellent quality, just not in big numbers. there is a bit of hassle maintaining a modded wi, but is the same hassle as a modded xbox360

ps3 games cannot download meh??

Just get the xboxlah... since its a shared investment...
All the investors should be happy in what they investing... 

Every weekend when I bring back my xbox with 1 booklet of games + 4 controller.... I'll be greet like a VIP...
And I know I won't get the same service if I bring back my PS3 + 5 games...
