XBox 360 vs. PS3

[UteChief]

With the $200 holiday bundles. PS3 with Infamous series and Uncharted 1 & 2 or XBox 360 with Forza and Skyrim. I'm trying to decide between a new XBox 360 or a PS3. I'm looking for opinions of each.

Thanks!

Whats special about PSPlus? I had that free trial and didn't really see anything extra I'd use.

I usually find time but it saves tons of money in a long run

Well, if you had been subscribed from the beginning you would have a shit ton of free games to play as long as you remain a subscriber. To me, it is a much better deal than xbox live.

My biggest peave about xbox is the fact you have to pay for Live just to use any of the streaming services. all of that is free on the PS3.

There's no right or wrong answer.

I don't mind shelling out $10/month to play online.

I also have a DVD player with the 360 which works fine. Blu-Ray does nothing for me.

It's actually $4/month, brah. I need to resubscribe. As soon as I see a $39 deal on it, I'll get on it.

Clearly I need to be on the look out for that too.

I just have $10 withdrawn every month for XBL.

Damn, dude, that's crazy. $49.99 is the regular price for a year sub. That's $4/mo.

I will keep that in mind.

I've always paid the $10/month.

You're paying $120 a year, man! That's INSANITY!!!!

I use the media server on my PS3 every day. Greatest thing ever.

360 if you like playing online.


PS3 if you hate yourself.

And they're even cheaper when you look around/call them up.


I call at the end of every 3 months and tell them I'm thinking of canceling. They then give me an extra 3 months at $9.99. A couple of times I've even gotten them to throw in an extra 4th month. I might have end up paying less than $30 a year.

I'd go with PS3 just for the lack of a subscription for online use. Paying for something like Netflix and then having to pay Xbox to use it is just insanity imo.

Xbox has slightly better graphics, though.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

I have had both for a couple of years. I haven't used my Xbox more than twice in that time period.
