Ps3 Or Xbox?

[Twojoe]

Given my disgust at my xbox going 'sorry you can't use me coz I'm built badly' I thought I would sound out this forum in the hope of reading some unbiased thoughts on the battle of the console. If I have to fork out for a new family console then which would be money well spent?

theres always the "you cant play me coz i have no good games" argument to give - points to the ps3.... .also, its the size of a small child.

360 ftw. cheaper too.

you won't get an unbiased comment. everyone will just tell you to get the ones they like.

to be honest though, both are good and you should pick it based on the exclusives available on each platform. you should be able to get your xbox replaced as i believe they have a two year warranty for certain faults. try taking it back to where you bought it from too and see if you can get an exchange.

alternatively, buy a wii.

Depends if you want it just for games or for other practical applications like Blu Ray etc?

I prefer the PS3 but my main reason for getting it was as an upgradeable Blu Ray player/DVD upscaler. There are some cracking games available and on the horizon too though. I love the wireless streaming through wifi (as standard) aspect of the PS3 and stream music and film direct from my external hard drive (linked to my BT homehub).

PS3 is not without small reliability problems as well, though not to the same extent as the 360 (Mainly Blu Ray drive failures).

They are also a cock load quieter than the 360 as well.

The 360 with its external psu is actually bigger than the PS3.

It's 3 years and I'm going to keep replying to your posts about it until you remember.

No, but the 360 looks like a ridiculously large letter of the alphabet
