i would say a 360 because you like racing games, the steering wheel is amazing.

PS3 for sure, mind you 360 offers some nice games.. but then again, it's MicroSoft.. and lets face it, If it's anything like their OS's, you know it's going to need a billion updates at SOME point. :laugh:

You can't loose with Sony and PS3.

and now with the new XMB update... ps3 blows the 3shitty outta the water :smokin::smilie_da

360 no doubt especially if you like playing online, xbox live is great...worth the $5/month, and isnt there some rumour of a blu ray add on for the 360 or was that bs?

PS3... coz MGS4 is on it.

If you like cars and you don't know the PS3 is the best by far. GT5.....

Xbox has more game selection and more game developer with the xbox platform

PS3 now that bluray has dominated the market. Not only that, ps3 is more advanced and bluray can hold up to 50gb (DL) and xbox with up to 8gb (DL) with a normal dvd. U will soo more and more games and developers going to ps3 for the image quality.

I say the 360 wins this one.

First off how important is multiplayer support? IMPORTANT. Ps3 online play doesnt come close to Xbox live. The product support and networking on Xbox live is amazing. Games like the new grand theft auto, halo are great on their own however LIVE takes the gaming to a whole new level.

Also in regards to the format war, yes ps3 wins with the blue ray. Microsoft will likely release a blue ray addon, but still its an addon. Personally I dont use my systems for dvd/HD playback. Even when I had ps2 i barely used it for dvd movies. In comparison to the QUALITY of PS3's blue ray player to independent bluerays currently on the market, Id much rather an independent unit as they are much better.

Benchmark comparisons on game quality done by reputable gaming sites have shown that 360 takes it. Also with all the exclusives how can I not choose 360.

Im not saying Sony has a bad system, however they have been doing a terrible job of marketing, promotion and partnering with developers. Just recently they've been putting a bit of a push which has people saying "its about time". Finally they are putting out some titles and making the effort to tell their customers about it.

Finally the price. Sony has done a great job of cutting their price and releasing the 40gb model, but interestingly with a few components missing from the previously higher priced models. Hmmm. Explains the price cut. Google and you'll understand.

Xbox360 definitely still wins in terms of value.

ps3 is better than xbox because they were making concoles/dvd players way before microsoft and when a PS goes no big deal when a Xbox goes it takes part of the house

flammin things

well i own both now. ps3 seems to have better picture quality, free online gaming, you can surf the net, and itll play jsut about any movie media you can shove into it. on top of that its got a built in wireless card so you can stream straight from your computer. 360 you have to pay to play online, but the online experience is better and less full of retards. its a bit pickier over what itll play, basically wmv files only and they look like cause its a crappy video format. youhave to buy a wireless adapter or drag a cable through your house. ps3 has a built in blu ray player while withthe 360 you have to pay to get the hd add on which i also have. really its a tough call but right now im more a fan of my ps3. i prefer the 360 controller though, its a bit heavier and has more of a real feel to it and it fits my hands better. the ps3 controller feels like a cheap toy, very light weight and its just not very ergonomic. also with the 360 you can swap batteries when they die while with the ps3 you need to plug the controller in and the cable they give it is really short. both have their ups and downs. but im leaning towards ps3.

Xbox360

as for the Racing wheel comment, I have 360 and the wireless Racing wheel. Its awsome! Forza2 on Nurenburgring is too fun, and hard. Ps3 tho I think accepts the Logiteck G35, 4 full turns of lock, full force feedback, 6 speed H shifting, by far the best wheel ever made. I wish the 360 would work with it.

get the PS3. best thing ever. but if you really want to compare and contrast..look at this...best buy is having a sale right now where theyre selling the 360..i dont know if its an elite or not..for 299 + 5 games + the headset....now PS3 is holding strong by offring the 80gb at 399. with no games or accessories...do the good systems usually hold their price or the bad ones? u decide but my choice PLAYSTATION all the WAY

xbox if gettin forza3 n ps3 gt5 close call to me forza way better then gt
