Xbox ftw
I think it depends on what kind of games you’re into. I’m a big FPS guy and the 360 shits all over PS3 when it comes to those games. XBOX Live is 50 bucks a year but it’s a small price to pay for the extra features you get over PSN. I think just the party feature alone is worth it. As for RROD, you can: A) get “lucky” like me and never get it (and I have a shit ton of hours logged on my XBOX). or B. Buy it from Best Buy with warranty, and not have to worry about paying to have it repaired.
I just had a buddy who’s PS3 broke and he bought a 360 along with CoD4 and NHL '10, he was amazed at how much better the online experience was overall. So if online gameplay is important for you and nice features and updates are a must, I’d have to say 360 is the way to go. If not, then PS3 might be more of what you’re looking for.
you have 3 years from the manufacture date on the 360 for RRoD, so its not really ever a problem… how about the modding part, 360>PS3
^ RRoD is an overheating problem and 90% of you on this forum probably mod your cars. so if you can mod a car you can fix RRoD i had a guy fix mine for $40 and i could of easily done it myself. i watched him fix it and its ridiculously easy. i got the fan mod so my fan runs faster = cooler. i put better eat sinks on my cpus and a couple other miner things. parts total to $10 maybe. my xbox runs cold now! no more rrod
XBox > PS3 i used to like PS3 over xbox because of gran turismo and GTA, but forza > Gran Turismo and GTA is on both. Plus you get Halo. so… easy decision in my opinion… i think it all comes down to games offered on each. Most games are released on all systems for the most part. so find out what games you like and if its on both then go xbox. =P
