which should i get xbox or ps3 slim

Tsurayu hit the biggest nail on its head. Which system has the games you most want to play.

The core gameplay and story remains, the extra content could be seen as a DLC package for the game. At that people still won't like the game if they don't like the core gameplay style and story, bringing in some DLC won't change a persons opinion about the game. If it's really better then shouldn't it be able to sway some of those people into playing it?




XBOX360 comes with a 250 gb, seriously why is this a hard decision?



I agree with this, though would point out the xbox360's vastly superior arcade and community/indie games library.

Are we just being sarcastic here, or am I missing something? <.<



Yeah, but for every one thing you can mention as a unique or more perfected feature on on console, there is something on the opposing side to cancel it out. Always makes it turn into a discussion of useless hardware comparison when the idea of a GAMING console should be about GAMES. Granted there is ground to fight about who is the better media console, but people fail to realize that a lot people still don't give two shits about their PS3 or 360 as a home media center.

Are you saying that no one is going to replay those games if they have already played the 360 versions? I know there has to be a Ninja Gaiden fan out there that has played the 360 version and wants to try out the new PS3 version. It may not be any huge seller for people who have already played it on the 360 but some will more then likely play the PS3 version as well. Same goes for the extra missions in Tales. I know there is a fan out there that wants to. Also I think there was an extra character in the PS3 version of tales as well as a whole new arc. I am not sure on that tho.

Well this is from Catcher.



I think that would seem pretty good to a Tales fan. More then enough reason for any true fan to replay the PS3 version in my opinion. None of which is DLC for the 360. Catcher figured this out from watching the stream.

What? You make it sound like the only reason you didn't buy a PS3 was because it came with a movie that you assumed would be the only source of entertainment, forsaking the fact that there existed games for the PS3 at the time as well. You are also making the assumption that people bought the release day PS3 and then directly went to watching Spiderman3 an unprecedented number of times. The truth is, that movie was simply a slight bonus to buying a PS3, much like getting free mints after finishing a meal.



The gaming experience is gauged on a level of the individual's enjoyment of the game. It is very difficult to conclude that either the 360 or the PS3 have one over the other in the category of "gaming experience". There is no strict ruling system as to whether one thing in general is "better" than another. In the end, it's up to what the gamers enjoy.

More people buy the PS3 as a home media player than you think. With most people I've talked to, the major reason to buy a PS3 over the 360 was the fact that it includes a Blu-ray player.

I can't tell if this post was suppose to be hostle or not so I will simply say that you were talking about the current consoles in your first post like this is 2 years ago. There were games for the PS3 even then but there were more third party games on the 360 then the PS3 being that there were more 360 consoles on the market thanks to the 360 have a year head start on the PS3.



I agree with this. Also I don't get why you said "considering it more then the DVD player". That makes it sound like DVDs are something new to you.



Like Catcher said more people buy it for that reason then you think. I didn't buy it at first for that reason but now I am thankful for it sense it's a feature I use often.

Get both if you got the cash.

PS3 slim can't play PS2 games until the upgrade, but you get free online play.

The 360 can play some old xbox games, but the online has a monthly fee and yes you run the chance of getting the dreaded RROD, but the real killer of an xbox is e74. If you get that error code your box is dead and you better hope its still under warranty. If you've ever bought a cheap 360 off craigslist only to have it fail shortly after it's because of e74...or the previous owner was an asshat and got the box banned from xboxlive.

i have both,

The PS3 is mostly for hard core gamers who don't play multi player games. PS3 has a built in wireless adapter and free online

The xbox 360 is for anyone who likes to play games with or without people. the only bad side is you need to pay for xbox live and a wireless adapter (which isn't that bad).

With games, for the most part, the PS3 and xbox have the same games... accept for a few exclusives.

If i were you i would buy the xbox, but it really depends on what kind of gamer you are.
