Sam, its rather illogical for you to say he (JS) can't afford a PS3 and then demonstrate that an XBox360 with all the fixings is more expensive.  Then again, logic isn't your strong suit so I'll let it pass.

PS3 exclusive games (with the exception of the shitty Sony sports games) are the sole reason to pick up a PS3.  Gran Turismo in particular is almost worth buying the whole system for.

I've always said it and I'll say it again - PS3 has the superior hardware, 360 has the superior software (in terms of the consoles themselves that is, in terms of software as in games...that's a whole other argument in itself).

Well the old xbox games I still have don't work with my xbox 360, just halo 1 & 2. That is why I assumed only few xbox games work for it. Also, I agree with what Jenning said about xbox live being better than PSN.

Eh, you can plug a controller into a PC (god knows why), so I just dont see the point in a console.

I have a PS3, but it is my brothers, and it hardly ever gets used anymore...we both play PC a lot more.

The only reason to get a console is to play the various exclusive titles cause you cant wait 4/6months for it to be out on PC.

Well in this case, I wouldn't have a PC to plug into. My PC is at my apartment, and is staying there, and I was looking for something for the house. I do have a laptop, but it doesn't run some of my favorites so well. I also have a wii, but I feel none of the wii titles really last that long. Also sports play on the wii is more gimmicky "Hey look, you can 'swing' the wiimote and throw the ball!" than gameplay enhancing. Detection isn't that good and it doesn't even model your swing, it just replaces that for pressing a button.

More than that, it's very frustrating when it doesn't pick up the action at all, or decides to cut it off in the middle.

Plus I'd like to keep it at the apartment anyway, chances are it will get used more often there.

Basically a PC is far superior to a console except in the aspect of social gaming.

But you can find online friends anyway, so get a decent PC.

you hardly need to spend $1500 for a gaming PC.

I spent $1500 to run Crysis on all highs at 1920x1080. You can run pretty much any game on a $600-$800 computer.

You never asked me that. I don't know that many people with a PS3, no. One, maybe. I don't plan on using my console as a "hai guise" device.

@ Miggle: Regardless, the price is far too high.

I did ask you that, anyway if you are big on social gaming xbox live is a good choice to make otherwise get whatever. Now if you like mmofps games get a ps3 and buy MAG when it comes out.

Oh and ignore miggle, he has shitty game opinions.

Not just for one game as he will get other games too, and whether or not your opinions are facts you still have shitty taste.

from what you have said there i strongly recommend a PS3. I don't play console games with mates over the Internet (local/splitscreen only), thats what a PC is for anyway. Therefore the Ps3 is ideal for me.

as to the karma nab *coughPoseidon/Warmancough*. Maybe if the xbox 360 had some worthwhile exclusives other than gears and fable 2 I might get one again. Until then ill stick with the much vaster PS3 exclusive line up.

If you want splitscreen get a PS2.

Modern consoles are too busy working on their shitty online to capitalize on one of their only advantages over PC, which was the vast amount of decent local multiplayer games to play with a few friends in one place.
