That's actually a good idea. I personally feel more comfortalbe with PlayStation controllers.

But you also need to take into consideration the games that you might want.



well its your opinion. but imo it isn't a good idea at all. for 1, a big company like sony isn't going to make controllers that are insanely uncomfortable, so if you can deal with it then its good enough. i prefer xbox controllers over sony, but in no way do i prefer the xbox exclusives over sony. <<<which is honestly what should matter, rather than what u play with

I wasn't the only one who mentioned the controllers.
Years back when I played some Sega or Nintendo or something I found it very uncomfortable. There was some button on the underside, and a stick in the middle or something... Either way it changed my mind about getting one of those consoles.

Scrag_End said: Easy answer to this one ! Whack your 60G PS3 on Ebay, you'll get over $1100 for it, seems to be the average. Then buy yourself a PS3 40G and an Xbox 360 (all your missing on is a couple of ports and PS2 compatability) then problem solved !



I reckon this is the best solution, nothing wrong with having more than one console

Hence the word 'considering'. I haven't made up my mind about it.

I have to factor in the $170 for a wireless network adapter for the XBOX, and $80 for the Live Gold subscription.

Pretty costy. When I add it up, it costs more than the PS3!



You can get the wireless adapter on ebay for under $100, or you can hook it up wired...even cheaper!

Do I look like I care? That's just me though. So you really don't need to go on and on about it. As I said, I wasn't the first to mention the controllers, but I don't see you saying anything to Stonecold.

as a gamer, and an gaming site admin... no you don't "have" to care, but they're some of the best games ever made.

stonecold mentioned it, but you mentioned it being a good idea. i just gave my opinion on how it absolutely is not, thats all.

That's your opinion, so don't try to change my mind. I'll play what I want on which ever console I choose for what ever reasons I want.
And when someone tries to make me change my mind, I just get more determined NOT to change my mind.
So respect my opinion because I respect yours (although not when you keep going on and on about it ).

why are you acting as if i'm trying to persuade you into playing some excellent games? i just said they were great games, which you happend to miss out on. if anything, it gives you and whoever else who read the post a good amount of enjoyment, so in no way is it even negative anyway.

feel free to warn + delete post, but i just needed to get that through.

Each console has it fair share of "exclusives" but i prefer the ones on sony's machine. personally I've never felt comfortable using an xbox controller. gotta be a big plus cause your stuck with it.

thats fair enough man. tbh im comfortable with all the controllers. although if i did cramp up in the hands or something whilst using a different controller than it would come to place with me as well. but to me there just doesn't seem anything too uncomfortable with the controllers. and ontop of that, most people hate sony's one and love the xbox one.

360 = great controller, Xbox Live and fantastic games......which you can get on PC and they look better than the 360 versions... This is one of the reasons im considering selling my 360, Ninja Gaiden 2 and DOA5 are my only reasons for keeping it now, considering Alan Wake is also going PC Dont bite! Its just my opinion A high end PC and a PS3 fits my graphic whore standards

Hi Guys

Well i have a dilemma, i traded in my xbox last year and got a ps3, now the things i love about my ps3 are Blu ray movies, the fact that all games are region free as i like to import sport games that i would never be able to play other wise, its good multimedia capabilities and some games like uncharted are awesome.

The thing i miss so bad? XBOX LIVE- seriously all my mates have xboxs so they are always online playing against each other and catching up, on PS3 i have noone!! And i hate it how i cant just join what my friends are doing at any one time.

Question- Should i sell my ps3 and get an xbox again? If i did get one i would get one with HDMI. Should i do this?

Or am i making a mistake again?

Seriously the only "exclusive" titles i would miss on the ps3 is Little Big Planet and HOME when ever they do come out, as Metal Gear solid does not really really interest me. More a GTA fan.

Please help guys any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a 60 gb PS3 so i figure if i sell on ebay i could get a decent price for it?

Oh and last question do you think MS will bring out a add-on Blu ray drive in the near future?

Thanks guys

woah, this look like a cut and copy from the one you posted on the official xbox forums

yes. i can. and it is like trading items on your psn sort of. your account is saved on the PSN , therfore can be accesed on any ps3 system, and push download list and download your singstar content on to your ps3, but you can only download that file 5 times.

well, no you cant put it on a flash disk or anything, but it remains on your download list on the psn. so you just login on your new ps3 and go to your downloads list, select them all to download and your done. not sure if it will work for full length games like warhawk but.

You could leave it on there as to try & attract a higher price but do make sure you delete your accounts so they cant access your PSN.
