Hi I was going through the thread and I've also been thinkin about gettin the xbox 360 since its 13th cheque time in a couple of months but I'm not sure if I should get it or wait for the PS3.

I think if you can afford the PS3 then go for it :p

Mr LandyMan's B'day is in his profile & his turning 3? :D

Go for Xbox 360 becuase
1. Its been out for a yr now.
2. Its already a success.
3. Alot more games are out and more too come
3. Updates come out soo often like the new one coming soon givng you 1080p [whether or not you got a HDTV its future proof seeing as when DSTV goes the HD route you would prob want a TV thats supports 1080p and then enjoy it in all its glory.
4. Just think of that smile the little one is gonna get when he sees that piece of technology in front of him that one could only wish was in front at your time. Yes the little one may not understand it but how many off us need to when its the enjoyment that will count :)

some from the iGN forum
5. Halo 3 (The FPS to consume all 360 games).
6. Xbox Live (Play againist the world. Not just the person sitting next to you).
7. Option to have next-gen DVD player (And an affordable one too).
8. It's got the best price (Not too cheap, but not too expensive either).
9. More then a gaming system (Listen to music, watch movies, chat with your buddies).
10. You can use all your crap with it (MP3, camera, even your PSP).
11. It's got a better game line-up (PS3 has some good exclusives, but 360 has a better line-up overall).
12. Media Center compatible (As well as some of the Vista's features when it comes out).
13. Great list of Arcade games (Classics like Uno and Doom, and cool new games like Cloning Clyde and TotemBall).
14. Backwards compatible (Currently, not all Xbox games are compatible, but eventually will).

Hope above pursuades you on the right track.

Personally I am gonna wait for both Sony & Nintendo to iron out their problems and so will work my @ss off for both their systems in the next year or so :eek:

@neo*,

Go for it, and/or a Wii, they're both great for different reasons (and will be available this year). The 360 has some great exclusive titles with tons more on the way, Gears of War, Forza 2 Viva Pinata (hey I dig it ;) ) , and they're all a generation ahead of the PS3. Personally I prefer the content on the 360, but that's just me.

The PS3 will only be here after March, most likely, May, it's going to be at least ~R6000, the controller is c@rp, and it's no more powerful that 360.

All you really get extra is the Blu-Ray drive. Everyone I know with a PS2 has a standalone DVD player because the bundled ones are never as good, and what happens if the movie you want is only on HD-DVD?

What a silly question, of course you should get the Xbox 360....

Do you really think your 13th cheque will still be around in May to get the PS3?

Get the Xbox 360 now, then the PS3 next Xmas when it's cheaper and actually has some games worth playing...
