PS3 or xbox
« on: October 16, 2008, 05:27:27 PM »
So I went to get the Force Unleashed game last weekend only to find out they aren't making a PC versioin of it (KHAAAAANNNNNN).  I've already been thinking of getting a new console but this just helped to reinforce the idea.

I'm kinda leaning to the xbox because I don't care about blue ray and the PS3 is still too expensive.

Anyone have experience with either system?

I love my xbox 360 and they've recently had a sort-of price drop (the stripped down version is like $200 now)

If its between those two I'd say go for the 360.  Everyone I know that has the PS3 only use it as a blu ray player anymore.

I had the 360 for awhile before I moved on to the wii.

I'd personally get a PS3 because it has Wipehout HD
and LittleBigPlanet.

But it probably makes the most sense to get a 360.
Dont' get the horrible stripped down Arcade version.
Get the Pro or the Elite ($299 vs $399)

Also comes with a Blue Ray player.  Dunno if theis deal for getting one at the $250 price still works but just in case...

This deal requires Sony Credit Card signup, so read on if interested. Sony Style has the Playstation 3 console (80GB) for $400. Upon clicking Checkout you'll see that they are offering a $150 statement credit with your first $299 Sony Card purchase. Apply for immediate approval and it drops your PS3 price to $250 shipped. Includes one SixAxis PS3 Controller.

I would get a 360 but I am considering a PS3 also because of the blu-ray.  It's crazy that it's still one of the cheapest players out there in addition to the whole game thing.
