So, what system should I get right now?

[AJW12777]

Trying to decide what system should I get. I have a 360 right now that is broken.

So, PS3 now, or 360 now and PS3 later?

dude, get a 360 because more people have it so if you get live more people are there to hang with. plus there are some exclusive games to Xbox and alot of PS3 only devlopers are moving to Xbox as well (ie. Final Fantasy XIII)

plus, I know its hard to believe but Xbox does have better graphics than PS3, I did side by sides...

How many games do you have? I say if you already had a 360 and have games it's worth it to just replace the system. Also, can you take out your old xbox hard drive and put it in a new one? Because if that is the case, you can buy the cheap version and just move over parts and controllers from your other system.

That said, the fanboy inside of me still prefers the PS3, but I guess there are more 360 games as well. I just think for your case you may be better off with the 360

 

[AJW12777]

^Yeah, I still have the Hard drive, so I'll just do that.

Yeah, go with the 360. The PS3 doesn't really have enough exclusives to be worth bothering with, especially not when you probably got a bunch of 360 games lying around you won't be able to play anymore.

It depends on many factors, but in your circumstances you should probably get a 360.

In terms of hardware, the PS3 has better graphics, but lots of times the 360 may have better graphics due to better optimizations, etc.

id go for X box 360

you can't move parts between xboxes because Microsoft put a serial on each piece of hardware. I mean, you can flash the chip over to another one but that takes a lot of experience in doing that and unless you are near Grand Rapids, MI I can't help you. In my experience the PS3 is way better, you can put any sata laptop hard drive in there and it will format itself and give you a crap load of storage. AS for graphics, PS3 trumps the Xbox in every way. Run any game on an xbox with HDMI and a PS3 with HDMI and you will notice the difference. There is just as many people on PSN as there are on XBL. PSN is free which is nice. I'd go for the PS3 personally. I own both and any game that comes out on the Xbox most likely comes out on the PS3, there aren't many exclusives anymore. Plus if you get a PSP that just makes the PS3 sweeter, you can watch movies from your PS3 on your PSP as long as you are connected to the same WIFI network.

Just thought I would throw my 2 cents in there and give some info. Good luck with your choice!

Edit: I read Disk drive instead of Hard Drive (d'oh!) You can obviously move hard drives between systems. duh. *shot*

I'd say 360. Looks interesting, but I haven't played either, so I'm just putting it out there.
