Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Options

[jcaron9gt4]

Well, I have a 360 right now but am thinking about getting a PS3 instead. I like my xbox, but I have a refurbished one and it is extremely loud. I can't even bring myself to watch movies on it because the sound of the 360 being on overpowers the sound of the movie. I'm also looking into a PS3 for the blue ray player. I know I could buy a cheap player for less than a ps3 but I was looking to get rid of my xbox anyways. So i'm here just asking your opinion on the two. Just some pro's and cons of each system, mainly the ps3, since I have had my 360 for quite some time now. Hows the online, support, things like that.

PS3 for sure. The only thing that the 360 has on PS3 is the online gaming, but I don't even care for that. Maybe it also has a better overall "gaming" base. But as an all-around kind of multimedia platform, PS3 all the way.

yea, I didnt think it would be this one sided. Online gameplay isn't a huge deal for me, i mostly just play with my friends, so if 360 is better at that, no biggie. As long as I am able to play online, it works for me.

No, the PS3 does have online gameing, with all the same capabilities (keyboards, headsets, friends lists, chatting, crap talking while ingame ) the only difference is that PS3 has FREE online gaming, whereas x360 requires you to pay a monthly fee Plus the 360 requires you to buy more stuff for every expansion past plain ole gaming. Like if you wanna watch movies, gotta buy stuff. Just like the regular x-box required you to buy a special remote to play movies; It's total BS. the ps3 will play DVD/B-ray right out of the box. remote is Optional
