Vertigo Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Xbox 360 is the one to get. I love my PS3 but if your planning to play online the 360 has it beaten hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Medic Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I mainly wanna jump on this online gaming experience, COD etc. 360, COD doesnt work with the PS3 contrary to popular belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lens Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 as an owner of both: ps3 online works when it works, xbox live works 99.9% of the time xbox games that aren't on ps3>>>>>>> ps3 games that aren't on xbox but bare in mind gran turismo 5 xbox lasts 2-3 years if You're lucky before You need to send it to them and get a new 1 but still i'd go with whatever most of Your boys have.

MEIRELES. Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Ask ElPres He uses his PS3 as a Blu Ray player I'll say no more on the matter. Happy new year bro whatever your choice will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Edgar Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Get a 360, the reason being that all multiplatform games are originally developed and programmed for the XBOX then converted to other platforms, but because of the processor in PS3, it doesn't utilise the processing techniques needed efficently. 360 GPU >>> PS3 360 dashboard >>> PS3 360 multiplayer >>> PS3 360's Kinect >>> PS3 Move who needs Gran Turismo when you have Forza . The only limitations on the 360 is that it cannot play avi's (but most would argue why do you want to play avi when you can play H264 files, which in theory are better quality and more compressed) The Xbox cannot play blu rays, but the thing is blu ray will almost be phased out within 5-10 years time when the next generation consoles take advantage of digital downloads, meaning disc drives and hard copies will be a thing of the past. The new Xbox slim come with one big internal fan as apposed to two small ones, this gives a better airflow to the motherboard, thus eliminating the RROD and being much cooler, infact they are so silent, you wont hear it. btw I'm not a 360 fanboy (i've owned both the ps1 and ps2 in the past) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEIRELES. Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Course you can play AVI's on Xbox You just need to be online to view them because your xbox downloads minor a codec before every AVI file view. You cannot view MKV files though. But there is a converter called GOTSent which converts MKV video files into a Xbox friendly video file (you need to set the file extension to .avi after conversion). http://www.videohelp.com/tools/GOTSent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risky Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 U should just buy a Xbox...dont go for the pS3..you'll regret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Gold Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 XBOX BTW You can stream MKV's to 360 if you use the media center extender option. I would say PS3 has a better dashboard though, web browser, iplayer ect They're both pretty similar really theres not too much between them except price if that's a factor. So do what everyone else said and get which one most of your boys have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaTz Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 If you want to play single player games and want a blue ray player, get a PS3. If you’re a gamer and want to have a good multiplayer / online experience, get a 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davicious X Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Only take advice from folk that have both tbh. I'm gonna say xbox. I was always gonna say xbox but there are some games on the ps3 that I woulda been sad to miss had I only had an xbox. Uncharted 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and of course Gran Torismo 5. Unfortunately I haven't found much (Beyond the blu-ray player) that makes having a ps3 make much sense. Xbox 360 on the other, meatier hand is right now an uber console if the plan is to play with nuff people. In fact it's uber if you just turn it on. The dashboard is more fun and user friendly than the ps3. Everything is just available really quickly, really easily. Wanna find out what's happening fresh in xbox gaming? SentUAMessage is the show for you. Need help getting achievements there are sections for that too. Not good enough well then let's see what your friends are doing. Have an 8 way conversation on xbox live. While everyone is playing 8 different games. f*ck it xbox isn't even a games console, you could turn it on and just watch sky or use last.fm to listen to your favourite type of music. Playstation 3 has all this potential but Sony don't seem interested in realising it. Get an xbox 360, you won't regret it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
