So what one is better?

[Chevy_Guy]

We have a wii and it's fun but The more I look at some of the new games the more I realize I want more. We basicly use the wii when friends come over and do alot of drinking. Then we break out the balance board and see who falls over. The two trailers I just watched were for Gran Torino 5 and need for speed. They almost look real. So what do you buy now? A PS3 or 360? I think the 360 is a better choice but I really don't know.

We have all 3 gaming platforms at our house. My sons prefer PS3 for online games as it's free vs a fee for Xbox.

Thanks for the info. I should also add that I would more then likely try and find a used system what ever way I go. I can't see paying all kinds of money for something that probabaly won't see alot of use. With that said, any advice on used systems would be great too. I see alot of different versions of the 360 out there and wile I don't want to pay a small fortune, I don't want to end up with junk either. I probabaly won't get into the on line gaming and don't see any use for it to have any kind of huge storage capacity.

I have a 360 but I don't use it much, I like the racing games for it definitely. I'll check ebay and see what there is, I got my used off a friend that needed $$ lol.

Xbox 360...if you wind up look into them, let me know so I can help you pick out one with the newer, better GPU/CPU chip set.

Get the PS3. Online is free! If you get the 360 and pay the $60 fee for the year and only use it once a month it will be a waste of money. And of course there's the Blu-ray player and 3D movie and video game support.

I'm actually debating on getting back into the gaming scene, I'm looking to buy the ps3 mainly because of gran turismo 5... it will be something fun to do on those cold winter weekends.

I was checking ebay and CL but I don't know what I am looking at or for so it makes it kind of tough.

360 so you can get the Kinect. Bowling is hella fun on that thing.

if your looking for online gaming definitely go with the PS3

ONly thing PS3 online has over Xbox is that it's free....Xbox live is worth the money IMO, it's a lot nicer and seems to be smoother too.

A buddy of mine has a gaming wheel with 3 pedals and a shifter that can be automatic or a 6 speed. I think it's a logitec or something like that. What ever I get has to be able to use one of thoes. He built an entire seat set up for his with a racing seat and everything.

ps3 is free online. yes that wheel will work on gt5, there pricy but logitech makes nice stuff. im still using a older red momo logitech and has many hours on it.

I've been out of the gaming scene for several years, can you explain why you like the ps3 more then 360?

Just ordered a PS3 and GT5!

Get the 360. Its online play is better and I would rather pay 60.00 for it than have the PS3 for free. I have had a 360 since they came out and I HAD a PS3 but didnt care for it and sold it for half the price I bought it for + 2 games and a extra remote. Also like someone else posted you can get the Kinect all hands free and a great thing to have when you have friends over. I just bought one for that reason. I would let you try it but your not a friend.
