OK guys, I don't post much over here nor do I read alot but from what I've read all you guys seem to know what you're talking about and I wanted to ask you all's opinion on something....I'm wanting and Xbox 360, should I get one now(with the chances off 3 the red lights of doom coming on) or should I wait for PS3 to come down sometime soon?? Opinions are greatly appreciated

Go with a 360. There are more games, IMO better games, and comes with a 3 year guarantee warranty. If you are a fan of the NCAA series, I would also go with a 360, because on the 360 NCAA 2008 is going to be 60 FPS versus the PS3 being only 30 FPS. If you are into online play then the 360 is lightyears ahead of the PS3 as well.

360, guaranteed system for 3 years, better games, better customer service, proven format, more people playing it...

PS3 - A promise it'll be good sometime in the future.

If this is still a hard decision, you need to spend your $$ a shrink rather than video games.

The PS3 WILL have a good library in the future, it came out one year later than the XBox 360. You can't hold that against it. Sony has too many good exclusive titles to ignore.

Go look at the systems, weigh the options yourself and decide. Maybe the PS3 is right for you, maybe the XBox 360 is. Maybe the Wii is. Who knows.

The Xbox 360 is hands down THE BEST gaming console out there. Although the PS3 in the long run will be able to be modded MUCH BETTER. I mean come on its a $15,000 server being sold for $500.

^ Exactly. I've been eating some crow.

Last gen, I made fun of XBox, saying "It's not a gaming system, it's a computer tower you plug into your TV." Seems to be more what people are making of the PS3 now. Also has to do with Microsoft pretty much putting the kaibosh on any sort of system upgrade to the 360 without their approval.

I think the Wii will end up being the best once they get out a lot of games for it and developers start taking advantage of the motion of the wiimote, wii zapper and wii board.

Edit: the wii racing wheel is pretty sweet too.

I'm wanting to get into online play and I love all the NCAA games...I was just wondering what everyone thought, I'm going to get an Xbox 360 but I'd say when the price comes down I'll have a PS3 as well....Thanks guys!!

Translation: I'm a huge Sony fanboy, but I have to admit, the 360 is the better system until Sony comes up with some even halfway decent games for the PS3.

I bought a 360 last night, and i am amazed. I bought Forza 2, and reserved NCAA 08 for tuesday.

I never played any xbox anything prior to this morning, but the controller is very well layed out and intuitive, nothing seems awkward.

The warantee was also a huge reason i decided to go the 360 route, they acknowledge that there are some kinks in the system, and are willing to bite the bullet in the process of fixing them.

If you want gaming experiences throughout the life of your console that are so deep it would make these pea-brained XBox fanboys' heads explode, get a PS3. If you want to play the same shooters you've been playing for the last six years, get an XBox 360.
