[LEFT]I am looking to get my son either a PS-3 or an X-Box 360 from Santa? Can anybody give me the Low down on the 2 machines. He is 7 so he is not really into Online gaming. Can someone give me the advantages of each. Dad may also do a bit of playing on it:headbang:[/LEFT]

online is better for the 360…
PS3 is the cheepest blue ray machine you can buy…and It will have the new granturismo.

I guess it depends on what kind of games you play and if you want blue ray

xobx has better selection right now and xbox live is outstanding. Blue ray is sweet but since its a sony technology you can put money on the fact that it will fail.

X-Box 360 >>>>> PS3 in terms of game selection

Might change in the future, but for now I’d say 360.

well, if its for your kid… he actually may enjoy the Wii more.

but if it was between the 2, and he doesn’t play online… a ps3 may be more worth your while for the blueray player alone. The Sony home thing looks cool too, whenever it finally goes live

I bet game selection starts coming around. I saw on the news yesterday that PS3 sales have doubled since the price cut.

Both are great systems. Look at the games for each and the games that are coming out for each and decide which your kid (and you) would rather play.

yes

13

the 40GBs do not but the 20s, 60s and 80s do

14

u have to ask yourself…

Pirates?

or Ninjas?

Actually, id have to say Xbox 360, until PS3 game programmers can catch up the the power of the system its kind of overkill, plus there are alot of games out for 360 im sure you (i mean your son) would enjoy.

I got my xbox from my ex box

16

There is no such thing as Santa.

That being said…360

17

PS3

Get both like I did. I would get the 360 first and then the PS3 when the game selection becomes more abundant.

:word: I’ve had my PS3 since earlier this year (first price drop) but I’ve barley played any games on it. I use it more as a BluRay player.

Xbox Live is much more polished and streamlined than Sony’s offering for online service.

love my 360, play it all the time. Got a friend who has both, for over a year… said hes played his ps3 8 times
