Hello to all. smile.gif

As per my topic, which gaming console should I invest in? As you all know, these modern consoles are not cheap. I've read many reviews on both consoles but I am yet to be convinced.

Hence, if I'm going to invest in a new console, which one offers value for money?

At present, if I were to walk into a Games shop, I am more likely to get the XBOX 360 due to the fact that this console has been out since last year. Meaning to say that the XBOX360 console has been tried and tested.

PS3 still very new. But then again it has Blue Ray technology, whereas the XBOX 360 has the HD-DVD.

Anyway, I hope to get some constructive advice from you all.

While the PS3 is tied to the Blu-Ray format, the 360 is not tied to the HD-DVD format, despite what some people here may try to say. If Blu-Ray wins the format war, microsoft will release a Blu-Ray drive for the 360. If it's a stalemate, we'll see a combo drive. At least you're not locked into paying for a very expensive drive which you may or may not end up using.

Hopefully, there will be combo drive planned for the near future.

As it stands, I might just go for the XBOX360 due to the head start that Microsoft has over Sony.

Thanks to all for your comments. nod.gif
