PS3 or Xbox 360?

[Sqwat]

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?

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

Well I have gone through my share of xbox 360s as well but as long as xbox keeps replacing them i dont care. I got my First one of Feb after launch and i knew they would have been rushed system, so I bought a 2 year warranty from xbox for 50 bucks, and since they gave the 3 year RROD warranty my warranty is still covered till feb 2011 which isnt to bad.

I know the ps3 is also a great system but no one I knew ever had one except 1 or 2 people and i dont have a 1080p TV. I thought about buying one this year becuase the game line up is looking good and the major price drop, but if im playing online or multiplay im sticking with the 360.

But for price per price you get more in the ps3 right now.

And to answer that question on wireless If you want wireless yes you will need to buy a wireless adapter but you dont have to buy xbox version you can get the linksys game bridge or something. i prefer wired myself and if you have 2 ethernet ports on you pc or if you pc is wireless and has an ethernet port you can connect there 360 that way(with internect connection sharing on windows).

And will it eat your internet? depends on your isp(for gaming in all depends on you Upload stream and ping ). But i have 3 computers and 3 360 at my house on during weekends an never really had an internet problem while running at the same time

ps. i went to tech school and studied computer networking so i you have question on your network I might be able to help

Just buy both eventually but right now since you're only getting one get the one that right now offers the games you want most. If you want the 360 then get it, yeah they can sometimes be a bit unreliable, I'm on my 3rd but I will say this, Microsoft does a good job of getting it taken care of, I mean my problem has always been the Red Ring of Death but M$ covered it for me each time and hey gave me an additional 3 year warranty out of it so I can't complain too much.

I want a PSP, I really do. I think you should get a PSP. Ps3 and XBox 360 are highly overrated anyways.

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.

well all I know is I have NOTHING bad 2 say about Atari and all the original consoles, I own them all and a shit ton of games for each 1, and I honestly find myself wanting 2 play them more often then the newer systems. regardless of how many times youve beat the original zelda or mario.. they just never seem 2 lose there charm, as where with mainstream games today you can get bored of them quite quick.
