Kinda looks like the once dominate Playstation has fallen off quite a bit.

PS3 will continue to take backseat, but the recent bluray deal might help. Right now hands down the 360 is the best online gaming system for gamers. As for the Wii it's Nintendo... They will always be strong and will appeal to all ages gamers or not.

I almost got a 360, then I remembered its a microsoft product.

rpvol · 01-08-2008, 01:46 PM

I have played both, and the PS3 is by far the better system. When the number of games on PS3 come up plus the whole Blu Ray issue, I am thinking that will turn.

my feeling exactly rpvol. my ps3 also plays regular dvds better on my flatscreen than any player i have seen.

utstu · 01-08-2008, 02:13 PM

That's definitely what I look for in a game system.

Who cares which system has the best games.

beyond halo what wont i be able to get on PS3 than i can get on XBOX?

rpvol · 01-08-2008, 02:48 PM

My brother has an xbox 360 that I borrowed for about a month. I was trying to decide which to get. Being a longtime PS fan, with the price difference, I was almost ready to switch to xbox. I played the xbox for a while, and it was ok. I really hadn't decided which to get when my wife surprised me with a PS3 for Christmas. I am SO glad she did. It is better in every way. I figure that me not having to pay every month to play online will more than make up for the difference in price. Sure there are more games for the xbox right now, but it is only a matter of time before that will change.

I know everybody may not like them but.....

Halo
BioShock (Rumors of another one!?!?)
Scene It (great for parties)
Gears of War (fixing to be GOW2)
Forza (but PS does have their version in Grand Turismo)

utstu · 01-08-2008, 03:12 PM

forgot mass effect

also, dead rising and ace combat 6 are good

SmokeyVol · 01-08-2008, 03:12 PM

Yep Mass Effect is a big one for RPGers

Gran Turismo makes Forza look like mario kart IMO.

SmokeyVol · 01-08-2008, 03:57 PM

For each his own, but I disagree. I think Forza is a great game. But it's peeps like us that keep both companies selling.

rpvol · 01-08-2008, 04:51 PM

You got that right my brotha...

If GT4 ever comes out... oh, and the new Metal Gear. At this point in time, those are vaporware.

Also, the point of having a free service vs. XBL... that $1 a week is really breaking the bank. The money I saved getting a 360 vs. a PS3 will pay for what, 4 years of XBL? Besides, the fact that XBL is far superior to Sony Online.
