Quick Poll Xbox 360 Vs Ps3

[Norfolk n Chance]

So... decided to treat myself... i have been swayed away from the PS3... but thought i'd ask the question to get some more un-biased views!

So... which one??

[Norfolk n Chance]

Over 30 views and only 1 vote?? :o

I thought there were more gamers on here!!

It's got to be the PS3, although Xbox 360 has some serious exclusive games recently with downloadable content I might be tempted to cross over to the dark side and buy a 360 soon! :D Although its killing my studying! :(

You know you want a 360 dude, like I said on MSN FORZA 3 Rules!

Also depends if you wanna play online PSN is free where as Xbox live isnt!

But if you arent playing online the 360 is the far better option, can pick up banned xboxs super cheap!

PS3.

Blueray, GT5, the recent iPlayer add on is nice. Media streaming and DivX is nice too (I'm sure the Xbox does that)

I don;t know what it is but I have never got on with the Xbox.

[bigshark]

360 all the way for me!

you need a hand of a midget to operate the PS controllers, never been a fan of them.

[Karma Supra]

I find the Playstation controllers waaaay better laid out. Which is I guess why they never changed them! They don't feel too small if you don't grip onto them.

The Xbox one feels clunky and cumbersome.

I was the opposite to Charlie. The PS controllers and tiny and get lost in my hands. They are also an odd shape and make my hands ache after a short time.

I've a 360 currently, and with additions like on demand movies and Sky TV channels it's improving.

I'll get a PS soon, but only when a BlueRay player is needed.

Online PS is free, but form the issues I've heard, you get what you pay for.

I had a PS2 and an Xbox too. The PS only had one game.

The 360 is far better for driving games too with the triggers at the back for gradual breaking and acceleration!

[Karma Supra]

The PS3 has triggers at the back..... L2 and R2 ;)

I never use then though as the buttons themselves are also analogue.

[Hou]

Would have classed them more as buttons then triggers lol!

But its all down to what you prefer I guess!

Gaz if you want to test drive a 360 for a few days let me know and ill drop mine round!

[Norfolk n Chance]

Well here's the final decision....

PS3 & 1 game... £249.99

Xbox 360 Elite & 4 games... £199.99

So i got the xbox!

Once i feel confident on Forza i'll join peeps online! :P

[Hou]

oooo what 4 games did you get?

forza rules!

[Bibbs]

Or get the Elite with Forza3 and COD:MW2 for £200.

They are digital though, the Xbox ones are analogue.

I still think the old Megadrive gamepad with 6 buttons was best.

[dawesy]

lol. you made the right choice IMO with the Xbox. and im not saying that just because i heve one. i was a hardened PS fan untill i got mine.

everytime i ask anyone about why a PS3 is better than a 360 i get 'its got a bluray player', if you want a bluray player then buy a standalone one.

the online community is a lot better than the PS3 (yes ive experiance both).

shop around for your gold subs though as i got my last one for £25.

[Norfolk n Chance]

The games were Forza 3, Fifa 10, Pure & Lego Batman

Lego Batman will keep my kids entertained :P

As i said before... once i've had some practice i'll join peeps online ;)

[JappyBeast]

Xbox 360 always!

One thing that makes it the ideal choice is Xbox Live. Even though you have to pay for it. More travel on the 360's trigger buttons make driving games a joy to play and gamer score keeps you wanting to play more and more.

Lots of my mates have both and the PS3 doesnt get touched. Sits there covered in dust!

Is the cheapest place I've found for Xbox Live.

[Karma Supra]

They are digital though,

They have more than "on off" functionality, and are presure and speed sensitive apparently. You can use the X button to "steer from the rear" by feathering the thrrottle on GT5 Prologue, that's good enough for me.

It also has the Wii style "sixaxis" motion sensing, which I have never used.

Still I'd not have bought either, it was part of my bonus from work. ;)

[Hou]

Well I dont think I will be playing online with mine now due to the recent bannings. Mine isnt banned yet but wont be long. Then again with the stack of games I still have to complete I have enough to keep me going for a long time
