Yeah my biggest gaming mistake was buying a bunch of cheap sports games without researching them, when I don't like sports games as much. Now I take them back to the store and get $3 for 10 games.

I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
Read my original post again. It quite clearly states why I bought a PS3.Originally Posted by The 1 2 P
360 all the way for me. The PS3 just has never caught my attention aside from the Ratchet and Clank Series, which is the only reason I own a PS2, and I can't bring myself to buy a PS3 just for a couple games until the price comes down more.
This thread's still going? I thought she got banned.
*edit*
Oh wait, that was SplashChick
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
Kinda surprised

U GAIZ JUST DONT LIKE CHANGE , (builds a artificial foundation here)
Oh I read it. But instead of thinking about which exclusives were coming to the PS3, you should have done some actual research. A $200-$500 console investment is too much money to be spending based on blind leaps of faith of what you "think" is coming to the systemRead my original post again.

I've got 'em all. And the 360 sees the most love as I am an achievement whore.
Also:

PC forever \o/
Pfft, you can download porn on a PS3 easily.
In your opinion.A $200-$500 console investment is too much money to be spending based on blind leaps of faith of what you "think" is coming to the system
Actually you can't use that argument anymore, it was true when the wii first came out, but thanks to a firmwhare update, the wii now has insasne storage compacity(and It's alot easier to move around then hard drives lol, as if the 360 didn't take up enough space as is), thanks to the SD card compatability.
The Wii doesn't support SDHC or XC though.
I'm sorry, but at the time of my purchase I didn't have a time machine to go into the future and research which games would be released or in development for the PS3.Oh I read it.

Can you use your special research skills and tell us all which games will be in development for the PS3 and 360 12 months from now?
If you can't find out what is currently in development for a console at the time you can buy it...that console must be dead. If you can't find games in development for any console that you think you'll like, you can't assume there will eventually be something you'll like. Your money is worth more now than it will be at the time those games will come out (and so is the console), in which case you can wait until the games you like are released (if they are, which didn't happen in this case) and then buy the consoles and the games.
The only rational explanation I can think of for this is that you had a one-time opportunity to get a games console. Bad break, it happens. Either sit on the console in hopes something good will come out eventually, or sell it so that you get some use out of the money before the system's value is completely depreciated.
I can't wait to spend lots of money on SD cards (even before factoring in what j_ said) so I can get 1/30th the capacity and far slower speeds and long term reliability at 100% of the price!
PS3...lol let's buy notebook drives for no reason. FABULOUS.
(This coming from somebody who bought a new 500GB notebook drive recently and has SanDisk Extreme IV cards for his digital SLR camera.)

That's a better deal than Microsoft's insane price gouging for their proprietary HDs. For the same price as a 60 gig 360 hard drive, I bought a 150 gig drive for the PS3.
Here's my take on this whole 'Vs' thing.
I own all three systems. I've been through five 360s thus far, so I do most of my platform agnostic gaming on my launch 60 gig PS3. My Wii has been turned on five times in the last six months, though with Sin and Punishment 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom coming out in the next couple of months, I expect that to change. I love all three systems for different reasons, but something occurred to me this Christmas while buying a console for my girlfriend.
Katie wanted a console with which to stream Netflix. This was just before the PS3 was capable of this function. I bought her a 60 gig 360 bundle, wrapped it, and thought nothing more of it until I was fixing her computer and realized that I'd need to get her a wireless adapter since her router was in a distant room from her main TV. I also then realized that I'd need to buy her a gold membership for Xbox live in order for her to be able to stream Netflix. Let's add that cost up:
Xbox: $250
Wireless adapter: $100
1 Year Gold Membership: $50 (or thereabouts).
That's $400 dollars. That's one hundred dollars more than a new PS3 slim, which contains all the functionality out of the box that Microsoft wants to charge me for separately. Very soon after that Netflix streaming was announced for the PS3. I took the 360 back and got her the PS3 instead, and as an added bonus, she now has an excellent Blu-Ray player too.
The 360 has a huge number of worthwhile exclusives, an arguably better controller, a wider player base, and some fun extras like 1 vs 100, but the price gouging on accessories, the unreliable hardware, and the added expense of the gold membership all turn me off more and more as this generation continues. Of course, this is all my own opinion, which does not invalidate anyone elses. Keep that in mind.

Isn't it time for you to just admit that you started this thread because you are a PS3 fanboy and you wanted to stir stuff up? I think it's time to lock this thread down. The OP already owns the PS3, so it's not like anyone's opinion has any impact on what he or she will buy. Most of us own all three platforms or want to, so there really is no point in continuing to debate this issue.
The 360 doesn't have a better controller, it's just that the Playstation L2 and R2 buttons are a piece of shit now on the PS3. Way to go and copy Microsoft with "trigger like buttons" on a controller that doesn't need them and it's a worse design the way they did it.
Now the majority of games the controller works great for and the triggers really don't suck. Almost all games actually. Games like Armored Core 4 and For Answer need a setup in which you have to hold or press those four buttons(L1, R1, L2, and R2,) repeatedly. Because the L2 and R2 buttons have an upwards pressure on them, you might stop firing or boosting(depedning on your setup) because you're not mashing L2/R2 hard enough.

Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
I bought these PS3 snap-on triggers and they work well.

Both the 360 and PS3 have such a large assortment of controllers I don't feel the issue is relevant.
Time machine? So you're telling us that you aren't intelligent enough to look thru magazines and websites to read up on whats coming up for your system of choice for the next 12 months? Actually, considering who I'm talking to thats not so much of a stretch.
ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
I finally gave up on the whole ps3 vs 360 argument a long time ago, I cant believe people are still bickering about it.
Autobots. Roll out.
