PS3 or Xbox 360
Which one do you think I should get? Here are the pros and cons that I've found about both consoles:
Xbox 360
Pros:
* I already have the original Xbox
* Forza Motorsport 3
Cons:
* Red ring of death
* Not that many games for it that sound interesting to me
PS3
Pros:
* Gran Turismo 5
* All of my cousins have PS2's so I'm used to the controls (Well, not actually all, just they all have at least one in their house)
Cons:
* People say that they only last about 3 years
* They don't make any PS3's with PS2 game compatibilaty right now
So those are my pros and cons.

Re: PS3 or Xbox 360
Xbox 360 has better graphic lighting then the PS3 in almost every game, which makes a big defference in high graphic games like MW2, Forza 5, NFS Shift, ext... Click here for graphic comparison
I would get the 360 because it has better graphics.

Re: PS3 or Xbox 360
Don't get either
If your cousins have a PS2 then just use that, it's not like there are any good games for the PS3 out right now anyway

Tell me, if you already have the same kind of console, why buy it again? You have an Xbox, your cousins a PS2, why not head on to the Wii?

We already have a Wii
The 360 has more games, better graphics, and other stuff.

Might get a PS3 just to play it

Re: PS3 or Xbox 360
Get an Xbox 360. The 360 has more games than the Ps3, it's more popular than the Ps3, It has about the same graphics as Ps3, and overall the 360 is just better.

On PS3 you may watch blu-ray movies without a need to buy a bly-ray player. The graphics are also nice on PS3 - look at Uncharted 2. And PS3 has cooler online mode.

Who cares if the online mode is cooler or not? Even if PS3 online play is free, does PS3 have the largest and most popular online gameplay network for any system? No

If that matters... Its pretty easy to get used to video game controls; just about all systems are easy to get used to. So that's not really a huge point...

In conclusion, get neither, and save up for something better, like a laptop!

Xbox 360.
The console exclusive games are better than the PS3. With the exception of LBP - I love that game.

PS3 doesn't support PS2 games?!
That is the worst fail ever in my opinion.
I'll bet they are just trying to get more people to buy PS3 games.

I hope so...
I have a PS2 at home, and I don't want to have to buy a ton of new stuff if I ever upgrade.
