should i buy him an xbox 360 or a ps3?
my husband is a bit of a gamer and has always enjoyed racing and stealth games. hes also a fan of rpg games like grand theft auto. hes got a ps2 now, hes on his second. its starting to bite the dust however. we’ve also got a nintendo wii, but i was looking to upgrade the ps2. naturally, that would point me towards a ps3 but at a 499.99 price tag for the one thats backwards compatible, i was debating the xbox 360 at the middle level, the 399.99 package (all canadian currencies).ive heard him complain about how he doesnt like xbox controllers, but he will use one at a buddies house. ive also heard him comment how he likes the larger selection of games on the xbox 360. i dont know which one to buy him! what do you think a young guy would prefer? and what is most cost efficient (we have a young baby so i dont want to go TOO crazy). thanks!

Buy him a PS3. not to forget to mention the high failure rates on the 360, you don’t want to buy him a broken system do you?
I’d recommend the 360.
First off, Grand Theft Auto isn’t an RPG. Second off, whatever genre of game your husband likes, I would suggest he get an XBOX360 because it has a wider selection of games for all genres, its cost efficient, the controllers are better (bulkier), and the options for online play are much better.
PS3!! Although expenssve it is the best on the market!!! heavy duty
PS3 !!!!!!!! I have bought the Xbox 360 and THEY GET THE RED RING OF DEATH or as others put it RROD! Just google or Yahoo search this- "Red ring of Death " and see if you are willing to take that chance! Wish I had known about it before I bought ours! I would have bought PS3 instead- now we are waiting for the console to come back- HOPEFULLY FIXED- It has been 1 month that it has been sent off and due back tommorrow! Hope I helped and saved alot of hassles!
PS3!!! Its the latest!!!
come on you don’t have all those games i bet you don’t have da wii and to more game come on !!!
Well… I’d personally go for the PS3 more, I have more experience with PS, and I’m a bit biased, but I’m fairly certain the number of games will increase as time goes on… the PS2 has more games designed for it than any other system, ever. But the 360 is a very viable alternative, and I’m not 100% about this, but I think there was a smaller Xbox controller released recently? So, in terms of cost efficiency the 360, definately.
the ps3 starts at $399.99 to $599.99,plays the new blu-ray,dvd,cd,ps1,ps2,ps3,and connects to psp. link: http://****us.playstation.com/ .the xbox 360 however plays,xbox 360 games,xbox games,dvds,cds.and a seperate add-on to the 360 is the new HD-DVD 6x the picture and sound as dvd and the player sales for $179.99.
I Love my 360, I have a friend that has a ps3 and thinks the 360 is better and is going to buy a 360 this x mas. really graphically they are about the same you can go to IGN or Gamespot.com the have done comparison on same LCD TV, in many cases the 360 has better Graphics.
This is what they had to say:
Conclusion1The Xbox 360 had better graphics in almost all the games we examined. The 360′s biggest victories were in Madden 07 and Fight Night Round 3, where the differences in texture detail and lighting stood out in our comparison shots. We couldn’t capture this in the screenshots, but the Xbox 360 games generally offered better framerates too.
We’re going to give the PS3 the benefit of the doubt in this initial round since developers might need more time to figure out how to maximize performance from the Cell and the RSX. If you look at the Xbox 360′s first Madden game, Madden 06, you’ll notice that it doesn’t offer very realistic stadium shadows, either. The trouble with buying a console at launch is that you often have to wait for the second or third generation of games for the system to fulfill its potential. The PS3 didn’t beat the 360 in this first comparison, but the games do look fine for first-generation titles. The real graphics battle will likely come next year.
Conclusion 2Our quick seven-game tour has shown that the PlayStation 3′s game graphics are getting closer to the Xbox 360′s. The Xbox 360 had an edge in texture quality and antialiasing in many of the games, but we didn’t see any nasty lighting deficiencies like the ones we found in Fight Night Round 3 in the original comparison feature. Additionally, in what may be a hint of things to come, Bethesda’s Oblivion proved that there can be a PS3 game port with better textures than the Xbox 360 version. The PS3′s graphics win in Oblivion gives us hope that game developers will be able to produce competitive graphics if given enough time to work with the hardware. We can’t wait to see how the games compare this holiday season!
I think the 360 interface is much better. the market place is huge, ps3 is small. the 360 you can download tv shows, movies, game video, and my favorite lots Game Demos video arcade and when they have E3 the game conference they post the video and demos . Right now 360 games out sold ps3 and wii put together, second they also have the most highest ranking games, that the ps3 doesn’t have. go and check it out here http://majornelson.com/archive/2007/10/18/september-npd-numbers-are-in.aspx
The six axis controller on the ps3, it;s ok for a few min but you tend to use the standard controls setup, biggest complaint of the ps3 is it light weight and no rumble in game, which stinks. The 360 has an awesome controller, but if your are ps2 owner some people say it take a little time to adjust to.
If you play on line it worth the 50 a year. on line ranking, chat with multi friends even if playing different games, quality of service, custom music in any game , music connect pictures video from you pc and media center extender and much more to list and more added all the time making it better.
well and really if money not an issue you can buy both or buy both and sell the one you don’t like and rent the games if you don’t want to buy, but remember you can download around 200 demos from the 360 even some before they are even released. well that will hopefully help your decision process.
for frailer rates on the 360 have not been issue since the updates they made just make sure it a new model. I have not had any issues with mine. I heard they have almost disappeared since all the updates, plus there is a 3 year ring of death on it and great customer service from Microsoft it it happens to fail, plus may store have service contracts on them that would help if there is any issue that occurs past the 30 day return or trade policy, most of the issue happen in that time.
I would buy the elite 360 because of the value, i tend to use up my 20gb drive, plus the elite comes with 120gb, charge & play kit and HDMI and component cables which ps3 doesn’t have included.
Everybody knows that the console wars include the number of exclusive titles each console has. Gaming Target decides to keep count. Who’s winning the race so far? First, here are the rules:
1. Titles must be "console exclusives".
2. No down loadable games and content packs.
3. No next-gen exclusive
4. No "fantasy games" - those that weren’t formally announced.
Given these rules, here are the latest scores as of March 2007. In the lead is the Xbox 360, with 80 titles, 33 released and 47 unreleased. Following this is the Nintendo Wii of 53 titles, 13 released and 38 unreleased, and finally, the PS3 with 39 titles, 9 released and 30 unreleased.
Microsoft’s “first out of the gate” mentality obtains it the top spot at the exclusive titles count. Successfully courting Japanese developers, as well as swaying the multi platform-minded third party game makers to create more content exclusives for the 360 also helped.
Have some Good Game Shopping
