360 or PS3

**#BROKEN Hasney** · 05-10-2006, 05:16 PM

Well, I was hoping one of them would come out with something to make me get one or the other but I'm still very much in the middle here. On another forum I post at everyone seems pretty geared towards the 360. This place seems to have a bit more PS bias so I thought I would ask here too.

I'm getting a Wii, no question on that front. However, I want ONE of the more mainstream ones as well this year so I'll just say what I think here. The 3 reasons I owned a PS2 were PES, Smackdown and GTA, all of which will be on both consoles. Don't really like RPGs too much so it's not a consideration. I also don't give 2 shits about blu-ray movies. Also bear in mind that developers have said there is not noticible difference in graphics on games running on either hardware.

360 pros:
- I like the controller better (never got on with dual shock)
-Live Arcade
-Proven network capabilitiies
-If I am that skint, the core model is upgradable in the future
-Rare, although all the crap they've shown so far is sub-par
-Lionhead, probably the main factor for myself on this one

360 cons:
-loud
-HUGE power pack
-Lack of Japanese devs

PS3 pros:
-MGS4 (May come out on 360 like MGS2 did?)
-Japanese devs (Katamari, Viewtiful Joe)

PS3 cons:
-Price
-Core model doesn't seem to be upgradable to wi-fi and card slots
-Dual shake or whatever it's called

Thats what I got so far. I'm definatly leaning towards the 360, so what is making people go gaga about the PS3 so far? Something I've missed?
