Thread: Help me decide ps3 or xbox?

So ive played both consoles before but i love halo games there so fun i would stay up all night with my cousin and play it. My birthday is next week friday and i am getting either an xbox or ps3 with your help to decide. Or should i just wait for the 720 or ps4 i really want to play halo tho but ps3 is free omfg i cant decide help.

For online gaming use ps3.

I would save the money and wait for the next gen consoles if I was you

Wait for the new stuff! Te only thing is you can't play with your bros on xbox360 if you get a 720. Ps3 is free and pretty sweet but I'd go with Xbox. Better graphics, more connected, and halo!

Buy a Xbox since you love Halo so much. You can't play Halo on Playstation consoles.

here are my pros and cons based on facts. i recommend the PS3 over Xbox 360

PROS for PS3
* Internet broswer
* Blu-ray won the format war
* ALL games are on Blu-ray discs (that’s a whopping 50 Gigs per disc!), allowing great games to be born!
* VERY low failure rate
* Great connectivity between the PS3, the PSP, and the computer
* VERY quiet fan
* Small, light controllers
* Sixaxis wireless controller for certain games

Cons:

* Few great games, but plenty of great games coming soon
* Not as many people on the PSN compared to XBL
* Demos, add-ons, and such are on the PSN after the XBL Marketplace
* Some (very few) PS3s have disc drive problems that don’t read the discs properly or will not accept the discs at all


Now for the Xbox 360

Pros:

* XBL has many people and a great connection
* You can own noobs online while listening to your favorite music!
* Beats PS3 in overall sales due to the fact that it was released over a year before the PS3
* Great games
* Demos, add-ons, and such are on the XBL Marketplace before the PS3
* Rumble in controllers

Cons:

* WAY too many callbacks and problems (RRoD, destroying of discs, etc.)
* If you bought everything to as closely match the features of the PS3 it’d cost almost the price of the system itself (HD DVD drive, wireless hook-up, XBL payments) — these things add up!
* HD DVD lost the format war
* All games are on regular DVD discs (a measly 5 Gigs of memory), which greatly limits games
* WAY too high of a failure rate — about 17%, in fact
* Large, heavy, roaring jet engine fans!

I myself am a PlayStation owner and lover, and was trying not to be biased. I gave facts and only facts.

xbox
I don't think that the 720 is coming out any time soon
The xbox is a much more advanced gaming system than the PS3

Id wait for a ps4. Look up the new killzone, watch dogs, and deep down trailers. They look so good. I think playstation is just better quality. Xbox does have some really good games though that playstation doesn't like halo, left 4 dead, and gears of war which pisses me off. But in the end who plays for multiplayer? Xbox, which i think is bull. And they break down and there noisy. The only flaw with the ps3 is that it doesnt have as many good games. Wait for a ps4 dude
