I'm Thinking of getting a PS3 or Xbox 360,In NZ it costs PS3 like $400.00,And Xbox 360 costs $280.00,

I wanna know what you think its worth to buy? PS3 or Xbox 360?

Neither, consoles are shit.

Save up for a real man's gaming PC.

Get some good gaming pc (a.k.a NOT a brand where you pay for the brand name).

PS3 you won't regret it

@ Majatek: a gamming pc will be useless after 1 year..

It's not like my gaming pc exploded 1 month ago. A gaming pc doesn't get outdated that fast.

LMAO and a PS3 doesn't? Dude consoles use outdated hardware by at least a year no matter how recently whatever console has been released. A PC on the other hand can be constantly upgraded to be better and faster - You can't do that with shitty consoles, can you? No. PC is superior in every aspect. Better graphics, sound, multimedia capabilities, and cheaper in the long run because if you want to say "upgrade" your Xbox to an Xbox 360, its initial price was about 700 AUD at the time, then when the new Xbox 360 came along you'd have to ditch it entirely and buy a new system for another 600 AUD at the time it was released some 5 years ago. By the time you've bought 3 Xbox's to stay up-to-date with Xbox hardware, you could've used the money that you spent on constantly replacing consoles on buying a decent gaming PC and spending less on upgrades from then on.

A PC never has these problems.

Also can you do game mods on a console? You can't without getting banned for system tampering.

@ Majatek: ehmm ..ok i just hate my PC
But at least it still better than Xbox ...

nope don't buy it, just save some money for an gaming PC.
I have Xbox & Xbox 360. IT SUCKS.

I would suggest buying the Xbox if you really gonna get one, though overall you should just buy a gaming PC.

wow..@ Majatek: is right anyway.

If you want to play multiplayer games for free then I suggest you to buy PS3, the games are expensive in that case but if you don't have money problems you have nothing to worry about.

XBOX360 might not cost the same but you must pay to play in XBOX Live.

Fully agreed. Consoles are for kids which are unable to handle a mouse.

Also about the 1 year thing: I bought my PC 4 years ago and I can still play all new games. Maybe not all on highest settings but they still look 10 times better than the ugly console versions (which are of course much worse because the console hardware is much older than 4 years and was already much weaker than the gaming PCs at that time. xbox360 7 years. PS3 6 years.).

I lold hard at this post.
Sure PC is better if you want to upgrade it, but still, even it can handle new games, PS3 still have some exclusives, as far as i remember - Heavy rain is damn awesome game, but only for PS3.
If your PC is slow as hell and "outdated", buy or upgrade it to better one that can handle all games, even while not on high settings, but if you allready have one nice PC, maybe a PS3 then. I would be did it that way, if i were you.

Buy a GamingPc. If you dont want a Pc buy rather a Xbox because Ps3 always get hacked ~_~

I vote PS3 mainly due to the epic graphics produced in racing games on that console and that not many people have PS3, I'd say Xbox360 is overrated just judging from what I've observed. Not many go for PS3 due to Xbox360 being the "hype" lol. However I don't play much console games, lol. I play NHL games on Xbox360 with friends which can be quite fun however. Both the consoles have their pros and cons, so I find it difficult to pick just one favorite one but I vote for PS3 also because of it's design. I'm such a old school PlayStation fan, so perhaps that has affected my decision. However I enjoy both consoles just as much.

Add $400 more and build a very basic home server.

Consoles are pieces of crappy parts from old computers, meaning they are tottaly useless (no offense against console users, just a truth.)

i was a console player for many years. If you ask me, do it like me and just save your money for a good gaming pc.

You should get a gaming pc or at least a good computer. It shouldn't cost you that much.

PC > PS3 > Xbox

PS3 has free online gaming, better exclusives (Heavy Rain, MGS, etc), less hackers

it's overall better.
