I had to go through this just a week ago, and after one day of gathering information of both consoles, the choice was easier than it could be. Hope I'll receive my PS3 by xmas, until that I have to cope with this rental machine

Yes its worth it

and the ps3 looks MUCH better than the xbox

Quote from pb32000 :

I guess... The price difference in the UK seems to be around £100, which is 3 years of live subscription.

I've had my 360 for I guess about 6 months now, never had any problems with it whatsoever.

And also if you want to play on your xbox wirelessly its an extra £50 for the bridge.
Also if you want to be playing blu ray you'll have to buy a seperate blu ray player, thats an extra £100 ish.

I remember reading an article about Xbox and PS3's. And how the PS3 is pretty much a one off payment, whereas with the xbox its not. :/

Quote from ZORER :

Why do sony spend millions to develop PS4??? They can just add 3 more cell cpus and a rsx, a bit more ram to make a new playstation...Isn't it the main idea of cell cpu's???

Yes and then the PS3 Will cost an extra £100 for all that extra crap.
I cant remember how much the PS3 was at launch, because mine cost well over £500 but it came with 5 games, and 2 movies.
But if they were to just add 3 more cell cpus and a rsx, then its going to end up costing even more.

If sony were devoloping the PS4, which their not, then they would be spending millions on researching how to get the interior parts for it to be even cheaper, and run even better.

And of course, if you like HD movies (which are definitely worth it if you have a big TV), PS3 is the only choice, now that HD-DVDs are a dead-end

You are all right somehow. However, until i see an actual benefit of having the PS3 (which is collecting dust in some corner right now)... i'll be happy about having my xbox.

LBP "empty" ? It's brilliant, like platformers heaven.. Playe it with some people, the fun multiplies, so much better then playing alone...

As for which ones, well... Uncharted, LBP, MGS4, Wipeout HD, Valkyria Chronicless...and the ones yet to come, like Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, God of War 3, GT5 (full version), Uncharted 2, Final Fantasy VS XIII, new game from Team ICO (Shadow of the Collosus, ICO), etc, all games that you can consider as system sellers...
It just has much better feature, with things like Home etc..

To quote a song, "Well Killzone 1, sucked before. So what made you think we wanted more?"

Killzone stands as one of my favorite FPS games. I loved it... especially the trenches at the start. I hated the Sniper rifle, though. Having the reticule move around on the screen was pretty daft.

I recall Killzone. However I can't remember if it was actually any good. Probably not, since I got rid of it pretty pronto, it only took me like 3 days to finish it, so I took it back to the shop and said it was broken LOL.

Will be worth a try on PS3 in a 2nd incarnation, but I wouldn't expect it to be 'better than Halo'. Even though I don't see what's so awesome about Halo, either. I bought Halo 3 and took it back the next day because I was like "Ok... so where's the action and fun again?"

I beat Killzone in one day, but I still enjoyed it immensely. It surely had its faults, more than some other games, but I still liked it more.

I only have GTA and CoD 4 on my ps3
i am planning to buy LBP , GT5 (when it releases) and maybe Killzone.

It's not as good as Hey Mr Thompson, but it did make me pick up the Fray album

I understand that KZ1 suffered from frame rate issues and that was really what dragged it down. I've never played it so I can only go on the Metacritic scores, though. I'm hoping that KZ2 has ironed out the problems because my PS3 could really use a big, brash, violent shooter. At least the beta is getting some good feedback.

Beta is over, sorry but feel free to ask if anything interest you about it..

On another note, my first xbox360 "bricked" yesterday, 14 months old, with a E74 error (broken GPU I believe).

I am going to send it for repair, but in the meantime, I brought a new one!!! LOL, I just couldn't face the xmas break without my beloved "box"

You must have money to spare. I guess the "economic crisis" hasn't affected you yet then?

Well, the new console was £120, which I thought was fairly good, considering the first console didn't cost me anything in the first place

I did the same when mine broke down... couldn't be bothered to send it in for repair. It lasted almost three years and the new one was barely 200 euros.

I will defo send it in for repair, it won't cost anything, and then I can sell the repaired/refurbished console to my daughter!!!!!

LMAO! You would sell it to your own daughter?! Hahahaha!

Too right mate, it is the economic crisis afterall

I can't stop laughing!

EDIT: I imagine the look of your daughters face when you offer it to her "for sale"... probably something like this: :sadbanana

She's nearly a teenager, so it looks like that most of the time anyway!!!

I'm sure you love your daughter, even if she wouldn't think so when reading your posts here... thanks for the laugh anyway!
