Alright lads been contemplating getting rid of the playstation and getting an xbox360. i have heard a lot of good thing about the xbox but havent felt the need to change for one yet.

I am looking for opinions from those who have both and what are the pros and cons and what people would recommend i do? i like playing online a lot if that helps

I also would liek recommendations of what model of xbox360 is the best to go for money wise

any input would be great

cheers :nice:
 
having owned both since they both came out i feel happy in saying that for gaming the xbox wins hands down. The ability to interact with other players and the layout of the console is much better. Another note for me is that the controller layout is much better, other may disagree but the ps3 controller is too small and too light and your constantly bashing your thumbs together! For playing media however the PS3 is better, It plays blu-rays, easy to copy music and movies onto, to watch on your tv and the original ones could play old ps games and had a load of slots for memory sticks/cards. Plus you can browse the web on it, all be it very awkwardly! If i was getting an xbox i would get a new one with the 250GB HDD and the built in wifi. saves you buying a bigger HD and a wifi adapter. Plus its less likely to go faulty as the older generations are prone to. HTH
 
Have had both
Personally much prefer the whole package u get with the ps3
Plus I fee for playing online is a complete rip.....don't get anything for your money!
The only thing the Xbox does well is its a bit easier to link with friends in games and chat
Depends what your mates use really
 
I've also had both, personally feel the ps3 wins overall and enjoy the gameplay better but tbh mate there isn't much in it at all!
Im actually thinking of gettin an xbox just for forza along with my ps3 lol
 
Iv got a ps3. I played xbox on few ocasions. Controlers better on xbox as it fits your hands nice. i have and you can chat to people that are on different games then you. Bad thing is that it cost to go online and doesnt give any other featres for the price.
As im a student with no job. I get 1 game a year on ps3. so if i had a xbox i would just be buying online every year instead.
It depend what your friends play.
xbox gets a few game which i would like to play as yu cant get some on ps3 for example forza

xbox is better all round

sure you have to pay for online multiplayer

but your ek9 needs petrol so no point in crying cause you have to fill the tank every once in a while
 
I have both and to be honest mate, I dont know how I would live without either, The controller is better on the xbox, the online is better on the xbox (although it does cost £40 a year) Games like Halo, Forza and gears of war are must play games!
On the other hand the playstation has a Blu Ray player, free online, Killzone (greatest first person shooter ever) and Gran Turismo.
 
I have both but i think the xbox comes out on top purley due to the fact some
Of the best games (imo) are only out on xbox, halo, gears of war, forza to name a few.

Sure you have to pay for live but the facility is so much better you can see where the money goes. Imo the only thing playstation has going fir it is that its bluray but u can pick up a blu-ray player for £60 wich could be covered by the money saved from the cheaper price of the xbox although im not sure what the cost of both top spec consoles is new nower days.

Just my two pence
 
PS3 for me dude. I've never really got on with the xbox, but i think it is a personal preference. I always thought some of the games on the xbox looked a bit rough. I remember when forza 2 was released and everyone was banging on about how good the graphics etc were, sorry they still weren't a patch on GT, plus the fact I thought the cars handed a bit strangely. Anyway, as I said, it's a personal choice :)
