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!

slims! can be done on both i believe, just a little more of a pain in the ass.

I just realized i said original. I should have said basic cheap 4gb xbox's.

My "original" xbox disc drive dont work. Its strickly a media center now.

Those are two of the games I'd love to play if I had a PS3. Can't vouch for how good they are though.

I hope God of War picks up. I played it for a couple of hours today, and it's just kinda . . . boring. Square, square, square, square, square, triangle, L2, repeat.

I love a good button masher.

All the Uncharted games are excellent and I love the Infamous games as well. Infamous 2 is a great time waster with excellent graphics and a good story. You don't have to play the first one but I recommend doing so.

My ps3 had corrupt data and had to format. Loaned it to a buddy and got it back. Im sure he did nothing wrong, just odd as ****. Had to reboot in safe mode but its back to default shit. I dont think ive ever been so pissed. Had a ps3 for several years no issues, but its working atleast. Lost all my saves

I got a few memory sticks 2 weeks ago but procrastinated. Paid for it.

Gotta play all the walking deads and start over on mass effect 2 now. Not so pissed about uncharted 1-3 cuz ive beaten them a few times. So dumb of me.

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.

Really I love blu-ray. I like the 360 and the PS3 both and own them both. If I had to choose which one was better I guess I'd have to pick PS3 though. More good exclusives (to me anyway) and I really do enjoy the blu-ray player. Like I said though...I like them both.

Started playing Uncharted a bit. It has been a long time since I have done any serious gaming, so I have died quite a bit. Game is really fun though, like a modern Indiana Jones. I will probably pick up Uncharted 3 once I finish the first two.

The blu-ray player on the PS3 is fantastic. And now that I have found software that streams my video files from my pc, those look great as well. I am very pleased with that aspect of it.

Get the Mass effect series on PC, much better graphics and maybe cheap on steam as well.

The boss fights aren't like that at all. There's some tactical sense to it.

GOW always seemed to canned for me, not much choice on what you can do. Of course I'm a PC gamer first and once you've played the Elder scrolls series everything else seems way to linear.
