heya guys/girls i hope you guys/girls can help a console newbie..this will be my first console ill be purchasing hence the dilemma

im torn between getting a ps3 or an xbox

Im a shoot-em-up type of gamer so the titles im looking forward to play are mainly shooting games..gears of war, call of duty, rainbow six and less on the rpgs, grand theft autos and metal gear solid so my mates tell me to get the xbox as itll be more to my liking games wise but some of them say i should get the ps3 as these titles (besides gears of war) will soon be available on the ps3

and with the ps3, theres the blu ray player as well which since the blu ray has won the HD war i can start buying blu ray movies..so thats the enticing part bout the ps3 and plus i can play online without paying extra.

and then with the xbox 360 i know ill be facing that red ring problem which im not looking forward to..sigh choices

so knowing that..do you think im better off getting an xbox?

Oh also, ill be playing on a hd computer monitor rather than a hd tv and the monitor ill be getting is this: DellTM SP2208WFP 22" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor With Webcam link here:

http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/c...dhs1&l=en&s=dhs

That choice of monitor good enough or are there better ones out there for that value?

cheers for the help people! appreciate any advice i can get

oh shi~..not again..

yup 1 of those. so happens this time its me, sorry bout that. still appreciate any help i can get though

buy both...abis cerita...
dua2 ada pros and cons

oh man not again. enough of these threads already..

compare both games for both systems.. multiplatforms and exclusives.. and see which one rocks your boat most.. and ask your wallet how will it feel about the purchases.. and make your decision.

some people like apples, some people like oranges. no system is better. it's just a matter of choice.

cheers for the help nerd

nerd?noob calling others nerd?

minat game tembak
beli x box.....

Well his screen name IS nerd anyway

peh .... abis nk panggil apa lg dh nama mamat tuh nerd dlm lowyat forum....


btw to ts , u should get xbox360 , cause as i said in another thread, ur posting seems inclining to xbox360 .

cause the trade off of cannot watch blu ray movie is getting gears of war (2) on xbox360 .

oh ps3 also hv nice fps like resistance fall of man , haze ( NOT ) . COD4 is both on xbox360 and ps3 right ?

what else ? hmm if u get xbox360 make sure get the falcon thingy i donno what is it but it suppose to minimize the rod problem la .

ic ic.my apologize

oh dear

actually i dont feel this thread is needed... u can dig few pages back u can find similar thread... just continue the old one la no need to open new one everytime.. orite... hehe


in reference of my reply in console war.. here goes..

3rd party controller is controller that s made by other manufacturer not the company who made the console... orite... this controller is such as arcade controller, guitar controller, light gun, steering wheel and many many more....

another point that is worth thinking is what you can do to the console and not what the console can do for you since that is clear enuf what it can do.... are you willing to take extreme care for your console, since if u are not that u should know what to choose..... console also need some love babeh.... let say u are taking xb360 and u dont give much love to it... you gonna get a nice homemade red ring.... dont know much bout the ps3 lens problem so i cant touch more on that.... so u choose the ring or the lens... hehe

are yo willing to go trough the process of claiming the warranty of the unit? since both also got problem so if u take one of them u will go trough the same thing and for warranty the unit will be send to sg..... unless u put wii in it... (as a reminder for u, there is moded xb360 out there so if u value ur 3 years warranty from ms dont buy moded)

for game since u like shooter, fo general shooting game such as cod series, rainbow 6 seres etc can safely saywill come out on both console but for exclusive, both have their own nice line up aswell...

thanks people

mambo, esca_flo youve been a great help, cheers

just buy wii first...than u buy new hd tv...
after that than u buy both xbox and ps3...

wii no need hd tv....

lol. if everybody is as rich as you bro, then sure go buy like what you say. wii, HD TV to compliment the consoles, both 360 and ps3. its a good cold RM 6000 to RM 7000 there.
haha

Buy All get All....HuhUhu....This kind of topic already be discuss...go find it in this forum instead keep asking about it....

i just bought xbox 360..main reason I bought iy is choice of ******* games that is available..I'm going to buay a ps3 next month cosole exclusives like metal gear and god of war..hahahaha

It bores down to the games you wanna play and the exclusive titles that are one the console itself. Some games are multi platform so no worries there. All is down to the games you wanna play.

As far as I know, there is a large community on Xbox but no idea about PS3.

I myself is saving to get an xbox 360 and I look into the games itself, not the console or the problems (Ok la, I bit scare 3ROD also, but take care properly sure no problem one).

Just my RM0.02. Cheers.

PS:Just provide sufficient love to your plastic box and it will be fine la, or else wait for new Xbox unit this coming August, if you want an Xbox. PS3, I cannot say. I'm not much of a fanboy anyway. Just wanna play games.
