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

Its obviously entirely up to you in what decision you decide to make HihoSylvia man, i think this kind of thing depends on what kind of games you like and what exclusives you want more, i'd do some research on what exclusives each console will offer you in the future, whichever one you like the most, go by that. If you're only going to plan on owning one console, you will probably lose out either way, because just owning a 360 means you miss out on FFXIII, MGS4, Little Big Planet, Tekken 6,GT5, God of War 3, Heavy Rain etc while just owning a PS3 means you miss out on Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of War, PGR4, Too Human, Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden 2 etc. Goodluck with whatever decision you decide to make, and enjoy whatever console you decide to stick with And no, i highly doubt MS will release a Blu Ray add on.

I own both consoles but am thinking of selling the 360, mainly because most of their big guns are on PC anyway. PS3 will always be my preferred console for sure, a bigger brighter future, graphic capabilities unknown, which i think is awesome and of course my kind of games, Heavenly Sword, DMC4, Uncharted, MGS4, Tekken 6, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Haze

Wow ... what a dilemma! That's a tough choice there, given the circumstances and variables.

I already own a PS3, but I'm considering buying an Xbox 360 to play with some of my mates who also own a 360.

But I am never selling my PS3! NEVER!

So yea. When I have the money and when there's a good offer/special around, I'll get a 360 Pro ...

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 !

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!

Considering ...

I guess if you wanna play with your mates then get an xbox.

But if i was you i wouldnt care if none of my friends had a PS3, i would be bragging about having one! Then they all might get one :S lol

I wouldnt even give up my PS2 for an Xbox 360. I hate em

dude..

sigh. why are you relying on opinions of other people? if you want to play with your friends on xbox live, go for it. if there is little that appeals to you on, if you have no friends to play with online.

you pretty much just answered your own question.

the only exclusive you're lookin forward to is little big planet.

no need for the thread - you answered it yourself.

Ok, could people add a bit more to their posts instead of just 'PS3'.
Give your reasons, or experiance, or something.

Any more that just say 'PS3' or 'Xbox', or any other one or two word posts will be deleted.

You could flip a coin and go with either and you'd be good either way. The only real advantage the PS3 has is Blu-Ray and a very good hardware record (as in, no malfunctions). Games wise, same thing practically. If your friends are all on Live though, then go with a 360. It's the best online console experience you'll ever have. The PS3 online has nothing on Live. They both have their pros and cons.

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.
