wahaha like ur pics...

anyway, TS talking about offline play, i would say there are no difference with both consoles, BUT Xbox360 would be the best choice for U, since u want to play alone/offline and cant afford to play original games...

BUT,
my past experience with PS3,my thoughts about PS3's network are somehow mixed, cause honestly im not an online gamer before i bought the PS3(maybe some LAN session with my friends at the college) but so far i say there are no significant disadvantages when playing online in PS3...the only thing that ticks me off is that it is hard to play online with foreigners, but im not sure it is caused by PS3 network or shitmyx...

for me, Having a free network to play online is somehow exceptional, and it urges me to play more online sessions(since its free), this actually made the original purchase seems worth it....

because i can play the game with live interactions, it is somehow fun in certain ways that made u addictive.

For example:

Take RE5 for example, previous resident evil series i played are mostly single player, except for the outbreak series.
RE5 online play made me wanna unlock more weapons,cause honestly i wanna show off the big guns i got laugh.gif and what better way to show it off with other fellow gamers and friends? but in the previous series(RE1,2,3,4), even if i unlock the infinite rocket launcher, i only play the game by my self, no bragging can be done,u kill the enemy and thats it..

well i cant say much about single player focused games like Final fantasy or other RPG games, but my advice is that u get what u pay for, wanna play cheap pirated DVD games, then by all means buy the modded Xbox360, BUT only if u really ok with playing only offline games...

honestly, it'll be just another PS1 consoles but with better graphics, since u didnt fully utilize on what u pay for(the console online feature)

BUT if u somehow want to really feel the new gaming experience, try buy the PS3 for starters, since it has free online features, its a good start to get the feel for online gaming...

but if you are limited on budget, getting a modded Xbox is a good choice, but there are no guarantees for the game quality and console quality, since it is modded, it might as well be a recond one, and its harder to fully appreciate a game since u are not buying the fully package, just a portion of the original package(instruction,free downloads,demos,free gifts etc)...IMHO, u wont be a true gamer... icon_idea.gif

i did some research and bloomberg states that even the publisher already pressured sony to decrease their price on ps3..and even EA had announced mass effect 2 is going to be released on pc and xbox 360 only in early 2010 and there isn't any announcement on its release on ps 3..

will sony be the king of gaming in the next few years? can it retain its exclusivity on good titles like final fantasy, etc? will the trend shift to wii or xbox? i am not sure either..tongue.gif

i've heard about this when Hironobu Sakaguchi declared that Blue Dragon would be Xbox 360 exclusive.

I think Sony needs to seriously check back their marketing plan.

there is no doubt playstation 3 is a great gaming machine with great potential. However, i think some ppl doesn't think that those potential is worth its price..
