so true though, every good game thats on the PS3 is also on the 360 (with the exception of metal gear) but every good game on the 360 isn't on the ps3...what would you rather have? better games and a superior online experience, or better graphics, and a blue ray ::rolls eyes and flails hands about like a sillynanny::

 

Incorrect. Component can do 1080p, I have mine setup that way. Additionally, MadCatz sells a HDMI converter which plugs into the back of the 360 and gives you an HDMI port. I have one of those too, just need a new HDMI cable so I can hook it up. Its $75 though so you might as well buy the Elite if you want HDMI.

First off not trying to start a war here but.... get the PS3 $399 for the 80gig. Same price as the elite plus you don't have to dish out cash for wifi, or online gaming. And if you've got a HDTV BluRay is the ****e.

 

I do have to agree that the PS3 doesnt have to many exclusive titles. The main one being Metal Gear Solid. If your a fan of that series then the PS3 is worth getting just for that reason (thats what i did.... im a closet NERD) but the majority of games are avaliable for both systems.you gotta remember the PS3 came out a year later then the xbox, i can almost gaurantee the playstation is gonna come out with ALOT of new titles in the next year. And now that the PS3 had a big price cut things are really gonna pick up.

 

i have gone back and forth between purchasing a PS3 (ONLY because i have some friends/family, that own it, so i could play online with them) but decided against it, cuz basically id be dropping coin for something i basically already own...you heard it hear first though, IF square re-releases final fantasy VII for the PS3 (and if its a ps3 exclusive), I WILL BUY ONE...and thats not a testament for the PS3 being awesome, its a testament to how muchFFVII rocks my socks [8D]

 

^^^ I have never played Final Fantasy anything, so I may have the wrong impression. Is it about being gay, and watching animee chickssing songs?

 

in a nut shell

 

yeah, pretty much. i hate turn-based RPGs...they suck! i want a ps3 so i can play god of war 3, and possibly MAG.

as for bluray.....

statement #1 is also incorrect in that the elite is the only one with HDMI - that's wrong. I have an arcade I bought a year ago with hdmi (i also have a 20gb hard drive, long story). You just need to make sure you have the falcon board, which all of the newer xbox 360's have. Then if you want optical sound you can use the normal component connector and break off the plastic cover. Then you have hdmi + optical sound. brilliant.

I'd get the pro.

 

Wow! Lot more XBoxers than I thought.

Thanks for all the tips.... I may have to go drop some coin tonight
