PS3 or Xbox 360?

[maynard]

Also, another question.

Would it eat my my PC's internet if I plug it into my PC?

[Tragedy]

I have a 50 foot ethernet cable tucked under my carpet going to my moden for my 360. :-)

loka is right, when ever you buy expensive electronics its best to buy them at BEST BUY!!! the PSP as we call them are basically an extended warrenty on top of the manufacture warranty. just make sure you read the fine print hahahaha.

as for XBOX 360 vs PS3, the 360 is the way to go. have you noticed all the TV ads promoting the PS3?? and you know how it says it can do everything?? one thing the 360 still has over the PS3 is fan and developer base.

yes the PS3 is more reliable than the 360. but if you leave any game console on for more than 8 hours while you sleep everyday for a few months your gonna fry something.

right now it really doesn't matter what console you get cause most games these's days are coming out for both consoles due to the poor economy and developers wanting to get the most money they can, not alot of developers are signing exclusive contracts to release a game on a certain console anymore.

but for me its the 360 all the way.

oh and as the 360 wireless connection goes, yes it does slow down your internet, it takes alot of your bandwidth.

yet I can leave my Atari on for 3 years strait and it will still work fine... funny. I guess as time goes on, consoles are just becoming more and more shitty built.... kinda sad and ass backwards but hey, what are ya gonna do.

Also, another question.

If I do buy an Xbox 360, would I have to buy the wireless adapter? My PC

is about 15-20 feet away from my TV where I'll be playing. Is that an issue?

Oh for the love of Jesus... get it directly connected to your router if you can. Otherwise I never had issues with wireless on an Xbox, it's just a pain in the ass. I actually have an old Linksys adapter, but I hear the XBox adapter is perfect. As for eating your bandwidth, as long as your not downloading shit, it should be fine. If your browsing for walkthroughs while playing it should be fine. I did it all the time on my PC and internet was the same.

I used 2 run my 360 on a linksys, worked quite well. I wouldn't mind having the xbox wireless adapter... but I'm not spending 80 bucks on it lol

I say xbox, since I have one and many people on the forums have one. Unless you want to avoid us crazys then get a PS3 or get a xbox and not tell any one. But xbox has more games, even though there content nazi and greedy bastards that charge for using the internet? (OMG we pay and no dedicated servers... then what are we paying for???) I have alot of issues with xbox but its what I know. PS3 has blueray thats all I know about it.

I can't decide... And it is a hard decision. My brother has a PS3 and he says

that he does not receive any problems with it.

My only problem is not many of my friends have a PS3.

I want to buy an Xbox 360 for the reason to play with my friends.

But I did some research on it and I hear it is a real pain. Financially and stability.

Thoughts?

Ideas would be appreciated.

all the problems with the 360s were with the first ones that came out. those problems have been fixed. if you buy a 360 now, you wont have any of those problems. and xbox live>whatever ps3 has. get the 360.

oh yea and i forgot to mention +1 to not leaving your 360 or ps3 on when youre not using it. thats just common sense. oh and if you get the 360, get the modern warfare 2 special edition.

[Sqwat]

I think I might get the PS3. I've been debating on this for a while now and I think it is just best.

One of the main reasons why I am getting a console is because of Modern Warfare 2, and that is on both consoles. But money is an issue here and I think the PS3 will be a cheaper choice.

Also, about the games... I've been looking around and it I don't see to many Xbox specific games, they are on both consoles. So that's not an issue I guess. And I'm a big fan of Square Enix games so that's another reason to go PS3.

Thank you for all your help!
