I can't decide which one to buy: Playstation 3 or the XBOX360? The PS3 seems to be a better choice considering there aren't many RPGs for 360. Ok, there's Oblivion and surely some other games but RPGs are not abundant in the xbox world. The money isn't an issue HOWEVER it bothers me that they are set so far apart price wise. (I live in Europe so don't know about US prices). Basically the PS3 costs twice as an XBOX360. I really don't want to pay twice as much to get about the same quality in graphics and sound. However there's the RPG availability I've mentioned earlier. So what do you think? What is your opinion?

I would go for the XBox cause it is made my Microsoft. They are very tenatious and very, very rich so are willing to absorb the losses that they are gonna make on the XBox in the future.
Sony have more cash worries so may drop their consoles. Or more likely sell the IP to someone else.
Who would have thunkd that the wittle wii would have smacked botty in such a grand manner...

If you like RPGS, go for the XBOX, you will get the following:
Fallout 3
Lost oddessey (Final Fantasy for adults, from the makers of FF)
MASS EFFECT (wtfbbqrpgpwnage)
two worlds (oblivion, but kinda crappy)
Alan wake (adventure/horror/RPG)
Fable 2
Xbox has the best lineup for RPGs. all of the above arent out just YET, but they will be soon. Mass effect has been slated for a 20 nov release. two worlds is already out.
Graphix wise I think the PS3 will overtake the xbox, but in the end it's the games that count. PS3 has undergone some humbling in the past year due to losing so many exclusives. For the next two years the xbox will remain a badass contender, even if only on the strength of Microsoft as its daddy. And the games that are coming for the 360 are ace.

360. PS3 has less than six months to beef up their must-have / exclusive title library, or they've got a Jaguar or a Dreamcast on their hands.
Both gaming divisions (Micro$oft and SCEA) are hemorrhaging money; it's going to come down to which one has the third party support to push system sales. Sony doesn't have it. Period.

I wouldnt be so fast to judge the PS3 dead just yet. If you compare the 1st gen 360 titles to 1st gen Ps3, the Ps3 comes out a shiny winner. Now of course the ps# has had much more development time on a lot of titles, the Ps3 has some interesting technology and gaming prospects that 360 lacks. Littlebig, Lair (some nice tech in there), Girl of War (aka heavenly sword), etc. These are some flashy titles that are sure to draw 3rd party interest for developing on the Ps3.
All the rumors you hear about programming on ps3 begin difficult are of course also bull, since the same was said about the PS2, and look what happened to that.
ATM 360 is in the lead, with a good base, good games out NOW and a completely MIND BOGGLING line up. Ps3 still might be able to throw out some suprises, since they do seem to have the more original titles and technology upcoming. I'm discounting the WII here as well since I think it will go the way of the DC, or at the most be resigned to the casual market. Though Metroid prime 3 promises good things, it is 1st party and the WII doesn't have anything just yet for hardcore gamers. If you are asking about 360 or Ps3 on an EVE forum, you are at least a little hardcore.

btw, sony just bought the devs of HAZE, so supposedly Haze will be Ps3 exclusive, as well as Killzone 2 and metal gear 4 (yawn). and of course the Ps3 will get final fantasy 13. They do have some killer apps, but the 360 is coming on strong as well by getting former Ps3 exclusives like:
Devil May Cry 4
Resident Evil 5
Silent hill 5
not to mention their own exclusives:
Halo 3 (iDrool)
Lost Oddessy
Mass Effect

xbox atm is the best buy.
in a year or so PS3 will be a good buy too, so in the end I would advice to buy the xbox first, and the PS3 later.

well, going off UK prices, it aint twice as much. and if you factor in wireless and the ability to play high def films, assuming you have an HDTV, when you add these to the 360 it costs more than the PS3 which has these as standard.
while the games may be very similar now, the PS3 is very different hardware wise and will take a while for devs to get used to fully taking advantage of it. along with games being on bluray discs, well the PS3 has much more long term potential.
having said that, i'm a 360 owner. and its great. though i will be getting a PS3 at some point. as anyone who has the cash should do. maybe not buy them at the same time, but if you can afford to get both, then why cut yourself off from the possibilities either presents.

The Sexbox360 imo. While the ps3 has undeniably better graphics than the box, the box has things such as the overwhelming exclusive games (mass effect, Halo 3 etc.) and in my opinion (having used both online) a far better online gaming scene for it (note gears of war etc.). The games the ps3 has; at the moment at least, are pathetic...wow a dirt track racing game and a game where i supposedly take part in real battles from ancient japan which happens to have a giant enemy crab and a guy who can lift a pillar twice the size of him, to name two. To add to that in my opinion the PS3 doesn't even have many good games in its upcoming....ok theres final fantasy and metal gear (both are becoming very yawn franchises now) which will inevitably boost its popularity but to be fair those don't even compare to the xbox's upcomings.

Since I know close to nothing about the games available for either platforms or the current pricing, here is my very uneducated input. 
I'd go for the PS3. Why? Semi-open platform with linux-support. Sexier hardware. Better looks. Less noise. Doesn't overheat all the time. Blue-ray player. Upgradeable with any 2.5" sata harddrive or even external usb-drive. And last but not least, it is not Microsoft.

Seriously though, I wouldnt leave he PS3 out in the dust just yet. Especially if you cannot have XboxLive access where you live (technical reasons such as lag, etc), the 360 loses 40% of it's functionality right there.
Also, RRoD. (I've done on-call technical support (outsourcing ftw?) for the 360 and I get these kinds of calls way more than I'd like to admit)
Either way, best wait and see after the holiday season, and grab one or the other during the after-holiday cleanout sale

I must admit.
Ive been anti-console pro-pc.
But the past two-years my perception of the pc has changed. I now consider it a needy girlfriend which means &ú*$ that.
The past two weeks Ive purchased a Xbox 360 elite, soley based on playing Bioshock on my plasma in hi-def, with my sound-system going OTT.
So far i've been impressed.
Im looking foward to the upcoming offerings the Xbox has instore like GTA IV and such.
But saying that I could get a PS3 aswell.
Both really

This has to be the most ******** reason ever. why should he pay the double of a 360 just because of a fancy dvd player?

I own an XBOX 360, and my GF's Brother has a PS3. He's having issues deciding what game to spend out on next as they all seem to be mediocre atm. I'm looking at getting Bioshock on Thursday (Although I may get it for PC due to the fact that PC games cost less than console games)

I'm glad this thread is here as I was contemplating this at Best Buy on Saturday.
Needless to say, I just got the new Game Informer and there are some HOT games coming out for 360 in the Spring.
Eternal Sonata coming out in Sept looks very nice too.

Mass Effect will be released on the PC some time after, and it will be better than the X360 version (ala Fable and Jade Empire for the original XBox). Same goes for virtually every game released for the XBox.
However, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy will never be released for the PC, to name a few. Unlike Microsoft, Sony understands the concept of exclusivity.
Finally: Halo 3 will be a load of horse droppings, especially if Halo 2 is anything to go by. What i've seen so far doesn't even reach games like Mass Effect or Unreal Tournament 3 in terms of graphics, and it will only be a cheap rehash of the first Halo's gameplay. You will still get auto-aim to help you aswell, which is something i simply cannot live with in a shooter - But that's personal i guess.
Also, Oblivion runs on both X360 and PS3, but it runs a lot better on the PS3...
Not to mention MGS4.
X360 has some good RPG's coming, but they're not exclusive to the platform. Traditionally you'll get more RPG's on the PS3, although you'll have to look to Japanese made games most of the time. Not that that is a bad thing, of course :)
My advice: Wait a little bit. New PS3's will be coming soon, followed by a pricedrop, putting both consoles closer together. A new wave of PS3 games should have been released by that time aswell.
Why do i prefer the PS3? I'm a Tekken and Gran Turismo fanboy. Just to get that out of the way :)
