dont bother for xbox360... 1 year and xbox 360 will be dead and dont buy it right now. price on xbox360 will drop. ps3 wont be dropping anymore since they will be losing money for a system. each system sony sells they lost lots of money since the processor and the blu-ray cost a lot
actually..i can CONFIRM that they're gonna sell xbox 360 premium with forza 2 for 399 =)...damn!! thats a big drop!!
279 for the core is excellent.. 3 days of work, i might not be able to resist anymore, lol i really wanna play Forza
You don't need to worry about your 360 dying on you. Most of the 360's vunerable to breaking down were from the earlier models. That doesn't mean there still isn't a chance of it dying, but the chance is lower than before and if it does you can always send it back since Microsoft extended the warranty on all 360's by 3 years from date of purchase. Also the PS3 will see a price drop. It might not be within this year or next year, but eventually they will drop their price.
So many troll/flame like posts. =P Now, back on track. At this period, I believe you are able to purchase a 60GB PS3 for $350US if you sign up for the Sony credit card. Depends how complicated you want to be with your credit record and stuff, but that'll save you some money. You have to order online, and the $150US rebate takes 8-12 weeks...most likely 12. http://www.destructoid.com/playstation-3-for-only-350-with-limited-time-offer-37677.phtml http://ps3mods.blogspot.com/2007/08/60gb-ps3-for-349.html
Owning both systems I can say that I spend more time on xbox than ps3.However, the future looks good for ps3 In general, if you want games to play right now it would be xbox, otherwise some pretty good games are coming to ps3 later this yr and next. Most of the stuff for xbox are shooters and american games so it would also depend on what game genre you enjoy. But I do feel ps3 ismade of a higher quality than xbox ( widespread reports of 3 red lights)
september will be the month for PS3 with the release of Liar and heavenly sword...it should really let the PS3 shine and show off what its made of
Only in the realm of shooters...HALO will most definitely beat anything the PS3 has to offer but in terms of other games the xbox360 just don't have very much to offer, Lair just looks awesome in general and it isn't a FPS but a strategy game
Halo 3 will most likely beat all the games this year in sales since GTA was delayed for next year. But Heavenly Sword looks amazing.
