Xbox 360 or PS3?

Post by Markarado »

What has more or better games out? Which system has better graphics? Overall, which system is better?

Give me your opinions ~ Thinking of getting one next month...

Well, since the PS3 hasn't been released yet, I'd say your choice is limited to one.

I'd get neither, unless you have a good reason. My 360 is mostly gathering dust. There isn't much to differentiate it from a regular Xbox or PS2.

Gamecube > * currently. Wait and get a Wii

I can't afford both. I'm willing to wait till the PS3 comes out if it's worth it.

What is Wii?

If the rumors of the PSIII costing around 900 a pop are true - I'll stick with 360.

Wii looks the most promising. It's between that and the PS3 for me. I might borrow someone's 360 so I can play Blue Dragon but that's about the extent of it.

I'd be willing to sell my Xbox 360 fairly cheap. It's been used a dozen times.

A bit under what I had in mind. If you want it with no games I could probably sell it for 325. It's a premium edition and has been very sparsely used.

I'm looking forward to getting a Wii. I might get a PS3 later on if they drop the prices some.

If you have a DS and a gamecube games, the Wii makes sense considering you can play GC games on it and link it up to the DS.

for $600 you could get the GeForce 7950 GX2. a video card with 1 gigabyte of ram on it :eyecrazy:

the rest of your computer will probably die long before it can't play the newest games at high settings

I heard that unless you have a LCD or Plasma the graphics won't really be much different. That true?

Lyion, I'd love to purchase you're 360; but I don't want to deal with transformers and modifying it to play games of other systems.

I will stick with my regular old XBox or PS2 for the once in a bluemoon that I actually play games.
