Xbox 360 Elite vs PS3

[Chrislong]

I have flogged some gear on Ebay and raised the cash for an Xbox 360 Elite, I have actually raised more and could afford a PS3 instead.

Just been to Currys and none in stock, and rumoured to have none planned to arrive and none in any other Curry's branch. The guy behind the counter said they are already hard to find, but should by a PS3 anyway as they're better.

With the PS3 id wait for gran Turismo 5 and get it at first opportunity. Id buy Motorstorm and F1-GP straight away

With the X360 id buy Halo3, Forza2 sraight away and PGR4 if out by then.

Then the shared titles worth a look, Rainbow 6, GTA4, dirt,


Each one has a disadvantage for me, as the PS3 is wireless internet ready which i need, the Xbox is wired or add-on wireless which I dislike (expense). Then the PS3 has the thing where a game played on one console can't be played on another - or something like that, something I was talking with carl about.


Whats the verdict? anyone got both?

I had both and i have sold the ps3 as i didnt play it as much as the 360.

if you looking to play online most of the time the 360 is streets ahead of the ps3.

The ps3 is wispher quiet and sometimes the 360 fan noise is a bit loud

F1 games will only be on the ps3 and motorstorm is brilliant to look at if a bit dull

Forza2 is great online and pgr4 will look just as good if a bit more arcadey

Halo3 is the greatest game ever :-)

The games are not locked to a console on the ps3

ps3 is wireless out the box and the 360 needs an adapter that costs another £40ish

any other questions just ask

It depends on what your mates have

LOL, im distracted from Days of Thunder to reply, this must be a good thread

Ok, the Elite comes with wireless controllers and I believe the fan is quieter than the original white Xbox. The fan on my old PS2 sucks, its so noisey.

The F1 and motorstorm games for the PS3 don't really excite me, they're just two id choose now while I await for titles to arrive. Whereas, like you say, Xbox360 has numerous ace games now which id actually want now....

Im pretty sure its the Xbox Elite I will choose over the PS3, maybe I'll splash out on the wireless and gold membership too.

Anyone know where has them in stock?

Brother in law got his Elite from Game in Bolton Chris. They had them in and he got a good deal on Extra controller (white unfortunatly) and forza 2.

my 360 is loud but i have the extra cooler cause it seemed to get sooooo hot.

Its missing a F1 game. But forza 2, Dirt, Juiced 2, PGR4. good times.
