PS3 OR XBOX 360

[Krawler00]

I have known too many guys with the xbox tell me they got the ring of death multiple times so it was enough to convince me to skip it. I have not heard anything negative on the PS3. I plan on getting the move stuff but it is pricey (they all are) Love my blu ray though. I can use any formatted dvd and it plays no problem. I just wish ALL games were made for ALL consoles. I miss my old xbox for some of the games, but never had a 360.

Ben, the PS3 does have an issue called the yellow light of death (ylod). I just replaced both of my PS3's due to this. Basically, for some reason the power supply dies. Both of my units were about 4 years old and the only time they got turned off is when we would move lol. For the record, the reason I have 2 of them is because I would take one with me when I traveled to a job site so that I could still play games with my son back home and actually talk with him via the headsets.

Well, I wouls suggest you TURN THEM OFF FROM TIME TO TIME! {whack3}

We had a XBOX 360 @ the shop and it got the ring of death!!

He really wants Madden 2012 & I think they make it for both systems. It is cool that the PS3 plays Blue ray, because I'm putting it down stairs in the guest room - We do not have cable down there, since we never hang out there. The price difference is pretty major though.

PS3 For blu-ray and classic game play.

Xbox for Kinect and Halo.

Its a toss up. I bought a PS3.

I guess your biggest factor should be your kid. Ask what his friends have. If they all have Xbox then get Xbox, if its PS3 then PS3. No point in buying him something if he cant play with his friends... I play games online but it gets a lot better when you play online with friends. Also, a good headset goes great to keep my wife from getting pissed at the loud volume. I can mute the TV and turn the head phones up and chat with friends.

Chuck I think the motion thing is the future. I don't like it for some games but I know the new Halo game they have used voice controls from Kinect to throw grenades and such. Splinter Cell is suppose to use the Kinect a lot when it comes out with new game. It wont take off though until they quit making all the cartoon sports games that look the same on Wii/Xbox/PS. The nerd inside me cant wait for the new Star Wars game to come out so I can bitch slap some storm troopers with Kinect.

I don't get to play as much as I would like. If I did not have kids, I would probably be a gamer. I love me some killzone on PS3. Best 1st person shooter is Killzone 3. Freakin rocks!
