Hey, Gamers.......

[Terpe]

What's the best, X-Box or Playstation or something else?

I'm just begining to think I should enter the circle.

not an answer but black Friday was a good day for Microsoft

• Xbox 360 sold more than 960,000 consoles in the U.S. alone, with more than 800,000 sold within a period of 24 hours.

I've been checking seriously for a few weeks. Plenty of really good games are available for both.

I'm just looking for any factual comments from both camps on the technicalities.

I haven't been a gamer since my days with the Sinclair ZX spectrum and Commodore 64
LoL. Plenty to learn.

well, xbox live users never had their personal information stolen by cyber theifs. One guess which users did.

[subseastu]

Personally I'm a PS3 user, I just think the games are better.

[grahamw48]

I have all of them, but I prefer Xbox.

It depends upon the game.

I only play car racing games and the NFS Shift series that I play online is better on the Xbox than on PS3 (and PC from what I've read on the forums).
The latest Forza4 (released Oct 14) car racing game is only available on Xbox.

I also use a microsoft wireless steering wheel and pedals...not available anymore, but good.
I have built them into a rigid 'cockpit'.

My boy is an absolute ace on the shootemup type games, and is currently busy on the latest one...'Call of Duty MW3'.
The graphics and features on that are unbelievably good.(We use a 42" LCD TV on cable).

PS3 gives you internet access, and free online.
Xbox you pay for online gaming, but I reckon it's better quality too.

Here's me doing a lap of Brands last week on the Xbox.
Quality is MUCH better in the game than it appears here on the youtube upload, and certainly no hesitation or 'mini-freezing'....as well as an 'over-exposed' look. Uploading has done that.
There is also night-racing on Shift2, which is superb.

I really had no idea which way to go.

From the comments so far, I'm tending to swing towards X-Box (with Kinect).

I think that might suit us both.

Looks like we can get a good deal on a system bundle too.

[grahamw48]

Probably never been a better time to buy such things....what with the recession.
Go for plenty of memory, then you can transfer all your games to hard-drive.

Ah, now that sounds like a good tip. I wouldn't have thought about that.
Thank you Graham

I agree.....that's the setup we got...... A much better idea, forget the computers and play with your partner instead.

[grahamw48]

What partner ?

[andy222]

Its personal choice but I like the playstation 3.
