Help Me Make a Decision
Ikrik:
My Wii has been collecting dust for over a month, my DS has been collecting it for longer. I made the decision that I would stop playing video games a long time ago when I said that the DS would be my final console (handheld...whatever) Then I got a Wii and that too was going to be my last console. Then recently I got a PSP and I've been playing that for quite some time and I really, really enjoy it. Now the major difficulty comes when I decide whether or not I want a 360 or a PS3. I've tried searching on the internet for reasons to buy either of them and mostly all I get is specs or opinions from 2-3 years ago. I have used the search button on this wonderful forums for some opinions as well but again they're from a couple years ago and I want a more recent opinion.
So I'd love some advice as to which system I'll be saving up for, where I am (Canada) I can get a 360 for 399 or I can get a PS3 for 499 so saving up another 200-300 bucks isn't a huge issue. Here are some things that I'd like you to keep in mind as you give me your opinions.
-I hate racing games
-Halo bores me and I'm not interested in Rock Band
-I enjoy FPS's but not all the time
-I hate sports games
-I don't care about online play, I enjoy playing with myself more (pun intended)
So any advice you can give me concerning my choice of PS3 or 360 would be greatly appreciated.

The only reason I got a 360 over a ps3 is because all my friends were playing CoD4 on the xbox and they said it was more awesome than on the pc (we are all LAN gamers on PC) so it was a bit of a no-brainer for which one to choose. I only really play online most of the time, I love beating people. I have halo3 (hate it, bores me too) CoD4, Burnout revenge and paradise and GTA4.
From your point of view, Single player games a ps3 might be kickass, I want one for MGS4 and the new final fantasy games :/
Alot, and I mean ALOT of the selling point of the 360 is XBL and how awesome it is, I never had the first xbox but I had a ps1 and ps2, with the PS2 I loved the online play and got high rankings globally in both SSX3 and burnout takedown until the servers were taken down many moons ago so this drew me to a 360.
But if you like offline single player games, then sonys marketing of "potential" for future releases might be right on the money.
MGS4 and FFXIII look shit hot tbh but if this is for your liking I don't know.
My 360 will tide me over until I can get a ps3, or see what the next run of ps3's is like.
Scandanavian War Machine:
well, the 360 has a much larger catalog of good games at the moment and probably will for a while. also, alot of great 360 games are now dropping in price so you can pick up several great games for the price of one new game. espescially if you buy used.
however, the PS3 has some exclusives which might be enough to sway some people one way or the other. for instance, i already own a 360 but am planning on buying a PS3 soley (okay, not soley, but mostly) for LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII and a couple others that i can't think of right now.
so if you're not a Sony fanboy i'd probably go with the 360 because you'll probably get more bang for your buck.
Storm Rider:
How your DS can possibly be gathering dust is beyond me, so I'm not sure how well I can advise you. I own more DS games than I do for any other game system I own at this point, so obviously you and I don't enjoy the same things when it comes to games.

I don't know why it's been collecting dust....just right now there's nothing about it that's made me go "hey, let's play DS again." I have some sweet games for it like Advance Wars, Apollo Justice, Phantom Hourglass.....but honestly I just haven't cared enough to play it.
