Hey guys, I am actually thinking (wow...i went from wii to 360 about a half a year ago) of selling my 360 to buy a PS3. The thing is money. It kinda sucks that the PS3 is sort of expensive (although worth it) and that I can only get so much for my 360.
Does anyone have any advice on if i should wait and see how titles pan out for upcoming games, price drops for systems, or whatever?
IDK...i guess i am just now realizing that i dont know if i really like that many of the 360 exclusives (including PC). Killzone and resistance look better than Halo, MGS looks better than Gears, and so on. kinda saddens me. I would have never been in this position if it wasnt for nintendo going all "casual gamer" on me : P.
Whats your reasoning behind wanting to get a PS3? Because unless you have a specific game you really want, or are interested in the Blue Ray player, I wouldn't bother.

The system is capable of much more, but unless you are willing to wait a while for some more games keep your 360.
Gears of War 2 > Metal Gear Solid 4 (the online was so bad that I nearly cried)
Well, as far as system efficiency, you don't have to deal with the ring of death. My little brother's finally kissed the bucket a few weeks ago and he's waiting on a new one. We've been playing LOTR: Conquest together since, nothing else to do really (well, and I play other things, but he doesn't have a system currently).
Like, ah, DGK. said, if you don't want to wait for titles to be released for a while, keep your 360- most PS3 titles aren't coming out until later this year.
well i am thinking of switching not because of one game that's on the PS3 that i HAVE TO HAVE...but rather because i looked at the games out for both consoles...
Gears (never really interested me THAT much...is it better than i think?) < MGS4 (is it hard to get into MGS4 having never played the others?)
Halo 3 (i love it, but i bet id love KZ2 and maybe R2 more) < KZ2 and R2
Banjo Kazooie (was not impressed) < LBP (only seen the game never played)
Ninja Gaiden II (seems worse than GoW) < GoW III (and sigma is on the PS3 anyway)
Fable II (realized i really dont care about it as i played the first one again)
Tales of Vesperia (probablly the game i will miss the most on the 360)
and other little random crap that is exclusive on the 360. Now i looked at the games comming out for each (exclusives) and found that
Halo Wars (dont care at all about it)
Halo 3 ODST (interested but its just an expansion of a game that i bet i would like less than KZ and R)
Star Ocean IV (interested in the game, but judging by IGN's hands on, it wont do all that well)
ninja Blade (sounds like a good game with many flaws...and GoW will be better)
...i think thats it for the most part....as to where the PS3 has...
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2
GoW III
FFXIII versus (and both have FFXIII)
Infamous
...and more
Both systems have games like RE5, FFXIII, Prototype, Assassins creed, and more.
That is my reasoning. The biggest thing i dont like about the PS3 is the controller lol.
Actually Sony has a "Super-Secret Game" in the making that they are trying VERY hard to cover up. BBC sent reporters back in 2008 to check it out and they all came back speechless and in shock. This is supposed to be a game that takes the PS3 to its max. Its a new IP so im really hyped for this. For those people that like 3rd person shooters or Gears of War like games there is Quantum Theory but that looks like mediocre at the moment.
Just go to google and type in "Sony Super-Secret Game"
On a lot of games 360 has better graphics (Im not sure why this is, you'd think the PS3 would), and the 360 has a MUCH wider variety of games and gets almost ALL of the PS3 games.
The only reason I can validate my purchase is due to MGS4 and Little Big PLanet. Other than that, I wasted money. u_u
I have a PS3, but I have one because I dont pay to play online, plus I absolutely hate Halo and Gears 1/2. They are just awful games IMO. Xbox still has the better dashboard and friends list etc. PLaystations silly PSP dash is stupid. Playstation home is a cool thing to try out but, BORING. It has a few playstation store exclusives that could be cool. ps3 has 1080p res.
But, like everyone else is saying, look at upcoming games, because Alan Wake looks like a sweet ass game and Im pretty sure its xbox only. Resistance 2 is decent, I beat it a few days ago.

Actually in graphics he is correct 50% of the games made are made on the 360 and later on converted to the PS3 where it loses alot of detail, but for the other 50% games such as killzone 2, Resistance and others (Games made exclusively for the PS3) make the 360 look like a dreamcast.
360 does not have a wider variety games, name the games that are popular. That means no bullshit games like Ninja Gaiden where nobody plays online. I mean games like Halo 3 and Gears of war 2.
The cost for a 360 that has everything a PS3 has is substantially more.
I hope the game is a 3rd person Gears of War like shooter. The PS3 is lacking in that area and with the success Gears of War brought Microsoft imagine what the PS3 could do.

see the thing is, i have a PC aswell. If i didnt, then maybe i wouldnt feel as though the 360 was sort of a waste of my time. The pc has better graphics and controls, so for all the games that are on PC, 360 and PS3, i dont care if the ps3 has a negligable difference in graphics, because my PC can eat all those games and make them better than they would be on consoles haha.
The PS3 seems to / does have better exclusives (NO PC).
360:
Halo 3
Gears of war 1/2
Banjo Kazooie
Viva Pinata
Halo wars
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja blade
fable 2
Race Pro
Tales of Vesperia
Project Gotham Racing
PS3:
Killzone 2
resistance 1/2
LBP
Heavy rain
GoW 3
FFXIII Versus
Infamous
Uncharted 1/2
valkyrie Chronicles
Ninja gaiden Sigma
Metal Gear Solid 4
Motorstorm
...and more
After looking at these exclusives, i realized i dont care about Fable II, GoW 1/2, halo can surely be overcome by Killzone 2 and Resistance, LBP seems MUCH better than Banjo Kazzooie (what a dissapointment), GoW 3 will be much better than ninja gaiden and ninja blade, and i dont really care about viva pinata or Project Gotham Racing.
And on top of all that, the PS3 wont break and it has blue ray!
Resistance sucks. FarCry 2 was much better. I have a PS3 but we can't buy games anymore since we're on a tight budget. My dad is playing FC2 for like 5 months now...
I honestly think the BlueRay is not worth it. Yeah, good quality, but you have to buy that stuff...

I personally thought Resistance: Fall of Man was amazing, much better than halo but the 2nd Resistance is mediocre. They tried to make it like halo and ended up making the guns extremely weak and you can't win one vs two.
I enjoyed FarCry 2's Campaign but I hated the online.
Blu-Ray is worth it up to a certain point, regular movies are not worth it on Blu-Ray but movies like Planet Earth are amazing and The Dark Knight was really good.
Dude you just stacked shitty exclusives for the 360 versus the 360's top exclusives.
You don't have to validate your choice that much. Just get it. I was just giving you my opinion while having BOTH systems.
You mean PS3's top exclusives, to make it a bit fair why don't you name 360's top exclusives. Ill admit Vida Pinata isn't my idea of a top exclusive and Gears of War did blow my mind (thats why I have a 360) but other than that, Personally I see the PS3 as a much better deal.
360 Exclusives:
Mass Effect
Gears of War Series
Halo 3
Halo Wars
Halo ODST
Halo: Chronicles
Blue Dragon Series
Beautiful Katamari
Crackdown
Dead or Alive Series
Fable Series
Forza Motorsport Series
Lost Odyssey
Moto GP
Ninja Gaiden Series
Perfect Dark Series
Saints Row Series
Star Ocean Series
Games that "were" PS exclusives, but M$ has bought rights for:
Final Fantasy Series
Resident Evil
Grand Theft Auto Series
Assassins Creed
Devil May Cry Series
Virtua Fight Series
And MGS - Konami's already put MGS on multiplatform before ... so they could again, I suppose.
And let's not forget that the playstation gets OMGWTFPWND by the 360 in terms of it's online play in terms of service, community, and content.
Hey, if Blue Ray is that important to you, go right ahead. But I really can't find a good reason for me buying a PS3 other than "I could". Looking back, I probably would go with PC upgrades. I'm playing Resistance right now and am enjoying that a lot. But I already beat MGS, I have the two resistances, little big planet, and then I think of games to get and nothing seems any good that I couldn't get for the 360.
Hey, if you want, you can buy mine. [/kidding sorta]
And last but not least. I'm not sure how Resistance can be termed as "amazing" and "much better than Halo". I found it a lot easier than Halo (or am). And also it seems like you have to be fucking Rambo and run back and forth dodging fucking ammo that heat seeks to you.
Also, Resistance is ABYSMAL at story telling. I'm enjoying the game, dont get me wrong, but you have like 10 minute long levels, and then a black and white picture cut scene telling things. Knock Halo all you want, but it was magnificent at driving the story and telling it.

Yes PS3 has a little more power but until they start making games to show off that then the Blue Ray is what really sets it apart for now.
Gears (never really interested me THAT much...is it better than i think?) < MGS4 (is it hard to get into MGS4 having never played the others?)
Halo 3 (i love it, but i bet id love KZ2 and maybe R2 more) < KZ2 and R2

It's really all up to you though. Just make sure to look at current games, as well as planned games when making your final decision.
Oh and if you like God of War, I think you should try out the Devil May Cry series, very different story but somewhat similar play style.
Just go to google and type in "Sony Super-Secret Game"
I just bought a PS3, I have both systems now.
And I can say with fact that 360 >>>> PS3.
On a lot of games 360 has better graphics (Im not sure why this is, you'd think the PS3 would), and the 360 has a MUCH wider variety of games and gets almost ALL of the PS3 games.
