PS3 + a PC, what does that leave for the 360?

[Dunketh]

I've had my 360 about a week longer than Streeteh, my feelings are this for each:

Xbox 360
+Live -Its better than PSN let's be honest, and it's worth the £30 a year.
+Controller -I'm good with either controller, but I do prefer the 360 controller for FPS's
+Multiplatform Games -Games that appear on both systems *usually* look better on 360 and have the bonus AA.
+Price -£160 for the 60GB version is fantastic pricing, Sony should take note.
-Noise -How people watch a DVD on this thing is beyond me.
-No built in WiFi
-Stupidly priced HDD's


PS3
+Exclusive Games -The exclusives on PS3 do appeal to me more than the ones on 360, obviously this is personal choice, I will also add that exclusive titles built for the PS3 generally look better than anything else on either console.
+Built in's -Built in wireless, Blu-Ray etc. are all nice features, however you are paying for it in the price tag.
+Playstation Store -I just love what the PS Store offers, Pixeljunk games, Flower etc. to me it is better than what XBLA offers, again personal choice.
+XMB -I just love the interface of the PS3/PSP, It's clean and works well.
+Free Online -It's nice that it's free, even with Live being better for a free service it works and works well, but as above, Live is better.
-Online -as above, although it's free, Sony's online has a lot of catching up to do.
-Price -Don't think I need to say anything here, Sony NEED to lower the price.
-Multiplatform Games -most of the time multiplatform games look and run better on the 360.

Both systems have had hardware problems, maybe the 360's more so but I'd bet not by much, too many people are now having YLOD and BD Drive issues, I think the quality of both systems stinks to be honest, and I hope that next gen this is resolved.

At the end of the day, like Streeteh If I had to choose one it would be the PS3, purely for the games, I personally prefer the exclusives on PS3 over that of the 360, however I am now in the awesome situation of owning both and don't have to worry about that.

I just love games

What i'd love is a console where the hardware is built by Sony and MS deal with the operating system and controllers etc, pull together all of the development studios... man what a console that would be.

I just want a Dreamcast 2 and a Neo Geo 2

Oh and maybe Apple to make a real console, but that'd cost over a grand!

So in summary, the best thing to do is to have the best of both worlds and have a 360 and a PS3?

Bingo

Anyone fancy donating a PS3 to a struggling writer then?




.....No? Boo

So yeah basically

[Dunketh]

Yep agreed

I'll also add that since getting my 360, my PS3 hasn't been on, BUT thats due to the rentals and games I have to finish all being on 360

I'm nearly the same, i can't put down SFIV so the PS3 still gets fired up for a quick session once a night, other than that i haven't used it in two weeks. But then, when a big game comes out for the PS3 i can see the 360 collecting dust for a month and vice versa. People seem to think that if their console isn't used for more than a week it's obsolete (i've seen people buy and sell consoles within a fortnight). The whole point of owning both is so that you can take advantage of all of the biggest and best titles each has to offer, in order to do that one will be neglected for a while.
