I own an Xbox and a Playstation and both are really good game consoles. Let’s see what are Microsoft’s future updgrades on its Xbox game console.~,~

My son has endless fun on Xbox Live playing stuff. I have no idea of the community behind the PS3, but I doubt it compares. If online play is what you like best, Xbox seems the best deal for the moment. Single play — well, possibly the Xbox will win there, at least in the near term. It’s tough to predict what will happen to the PS3 — they had a fantastic price drop, and have a lot of plans for the thing; by the end of 2008, we’ll know if they succeeded.

Horrible customer service? Dang, I guess I got lucky? Anyway, my 360 got the three rings disease and I contacted Microsoft immediatly. They sent me a box with everything I needed to ship my 360 which took three business days. I had my new 360 in another four business days. Altogether, I was back up and playing within 11 days.(weekend days included) So, I don’t know about the 2-4 weeks. Seems long to me. Anyway! Tell your girlfriend you love her and you are sooooooo grateful she got you the PS3. Keep it, use it for it’s Blue Ray and enjoy the 360 online experience.

Dude, I own a xbox 360 for over a yr, and just found out my gf got me a ps3 for xmas.. (reason why Im reading this) Im not sure if i should keep the ps3 or return it. I absolutely love my 360.. most of my hs friends from jersey has it, (i live in florida now) and i cant tell u the amount of time we spend playing halo3, and now cod4 on xbox live.. well untill i got the 3 red lights on my 360.. AGAIN!!! Ive had this problem last yr, and besides the horrible costumer service, they did send me a box, and id say between 2-4 weeks i had my xbox back.. it was a huge let down then, and even a bigger one now, since i just bought cod4, and guitar hero III; and i can honestly count how many times i played those games in 1 hand.. so yea, my question is, should i keep the ps3 40gb, since i dont have anything to play untill probably january, or should i return it and just wait till i get my xbox back? is it worth owning both?

Ahem…Oblivion? Morrowind, BC from the Xbox. Mass Effect coming out on Tuesday. KotOR 1 and 2, BC. Jade Empire, BC (amazing RPG, btw). Fable 2 will be coming out sometime next year. Personally, I prefer the 360 for RPGs, since I’m not a big fan of the FF style, which seems to be all the PS3 has exclusively. Still, the PC remains the best for RPG gaming. All those mentioned except Mass Effect are available on the PC, as well, plus a host of others I won’t mention now.

Yeah… All told, I think the PS3 would have been cheaper. Sigh. I can see I’ll be buying one anyway in a year or so.

You’re also forgetting about the cost of online gaming. (No doubt your son will require this once the free subscription is up.)

The Playstation Network is free, however Xbox Live is $50 a year. As far as I know, the 360′s console life is unknown, so we’ll go by the PS3′s projected life of 9 more years. Start with your $652.96 just to equal the PS3′s features, then add $450 for Xbox Live over the course of the PS3′s console-life and free online gaming. What do you get? The PS3 would’ve cost you the same $499.98, and your Xbox 360 raped your wallet for a whopping $1102.96. Talk about an investment.

The 360 is definitely winning game-wise, but I have a pretty good feeling that the PS3 will catch up soon enough.

Thanks, I’ll probably try Eternal Sonata.

Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, um… I don’t play console RPGs much anymore because I find them lonely. I imagine the next Fable will come out for the 360. I played the original on the PC a few years back and just got bored… it’s so dull when there are no people around to share the adventure.
