PS3 or Xbox 360?
Well, I didn't see this thread anywhere in the first few pages. I'm trying to decide whether to get a PS3 or an Xbox 360. I'm not sure that it matters, but I'll be using an HDMI cable with it as well. So, a few questions.
The PS3 is about $100 more, but has a blue ray. I already have a blue ray player, so that doesn't do me much good. Is that the only reason the PS3 is more expensive, it has a blue ray player?
Is the PS3 worth the extra $100?
Which has better online play? I'm told the Xbox does, but I'm not 100% certain I trust my source.
Which has better exclusive games?
Is there a huge difference in the graphics between the two?
Anything else I should know about the two systems?

Second, 360.
</3
But any reason why? Or is it just some kind of turf war thing where they're basically the same system?
Online on PS3 is free.
Personally I think the exclusive games on the PS3 look better than those on the 360, with the exception of Gears Of War, but hey, what are you gonna do?
All that said, I don't own either one so in the end I don't really know, but, I plan on buying a PS3 sometime soon, so yeah.
My experience has been that the 360's online, though you do have to pay a bit, is MUCH MUCH better than the PS3's, though the PSN store has more and better games than the 360 Arcade.
But new they're the same price... are you talking used?
Now that they've supposedly fixed the red ring issue on the slim 360s, I guess it just comes down to which controller you like better and which console has the exclusives you like.
DO NOT get a used 360. Their failure rate is ridiculous. Chances are that if you get a used 360, it will die within the first year.
For my part: Don't fuss over which is faster. It'd be splitting hairs. They are both old systems with old hardware architectures. The cell processor was a bit of a flop. Both systems have a shit cpu that sucked from day 1 and REALLY suck today. The graphics power is less shitty but similarly outdated. Both systems are as good as even in terms of hardware that runs the games.
Honestly, it almost makes me giggle a little when I realize there may not be new consoles out before there are phones with performance levels equal to an X-Box 360 or a PS3.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I wanna agree with the not getting a used 360 bit. Take advantage of those advancements in manufacturing. They aren't just cheaper, they use less power and run cooler and hopefully quieter too.
As for RCS, ignore him, he's been a jerk as of late, especially to newcomers.
2. Good that you already have a Blu-Ray player, but the point is irrelevant in either case. Sony was trying to capitalize on the epic success of the PS2: people bought PS2s not only for games but because it was the first cheap DVD player to come out on the market. People bought PS2s to play DVDs first and then games later. Sony tried to do this again, except that Blu Ray isn't the industry changer like DVD was over VHS. DVD isn't going anyway anytime soon.
3. All other points are pretty much addressed already, so I'll just say that you should abandon both and buy a SNES
Meh, I'm probably gonna end up selling my SNES at some point, likely because I don't have any decent games.
The 64 is where it's at.
I already have a 64.
Yeah, the impression that I'm getting is that the only big difference between the system is the games. Is going with the PS3 for the possibility of a FF7 remake and a new Kingdom Hearts sound reasoning? I never played Halo, so I'm not missing much.
I don't know how much time I would actually spend playing online is the thing. And I do like story centered games. Alrighty, thanks for the input!
And I agree with the decision not to. The original hasn't gone anywhere, you can even got it on the PS3 now, just go play that. If you want the newer game, play Crisis Core or Dirge of Cerberus.
Continue hoping for your remake and I will continue hoping for it to never exist.
How was Dirge of Cerberus?
Yeah, exactly. I mean, just look at Twisted Metal, they denied that they were working on that for like 2 or 3 years.
Two or Three years is VERY different from Twelve.
