If I have money, I would go for Xbox 360 now. PS3 is very very costly and it has numerous bugs (in hardware and software). And after 6-7 months, when PS3 h/w and s/w become stable, will get rid of xbox 360 and get PS3.

i have an xbox 360 and i'm not disappointed at all...they have a great line-up of games and MS will soon launch Xbox LIVE which is 50% of the Xbox 360's appeal.

beiing a PS loyalist (i own PS1 and PS2), I do plan on buying a PS3 as well but atleast not for another year...their current line up of games sucks and the initial systems are bound to have some bugs....ill wait till those are ironed out. also PS3 games (blu-ray discs) will cost a lot more (even if u do somehow manage to get it modded)

visually there is almost no difference between the xbox 360 or PS3

for more info on the xbox 360 u can join our forum

xbox 360 too is not compatible with all original xbox games

official websites for both consoles will have a list of games that are compatible with the newer consoles

Buy a 360 , PS3 is just out and u will hardly get hands on one for the MSRP . 360 has been around for a year and is pretty solid nexgen console and the best thing is its available in India officially so u will get proper support for it.

as of now XBoX360 is the best choice, coz Sony hasen't announced anything about PS3's launch in India & it has very small game collection.

but that small collection has one of the best games, like F1 2006, FIA WRC..

So for now, you can buy & stick with XBoX360 for atleast a min. of 1 year.

PS3, keeping it mind that it'll have those franchises which made PS2 biggest selling console ever in the history.

Default Re: buy which ps3 or xbox360

If you ought to buy anything from India then keep in mind that Xbox 360 is currently in the market & is comfortably settled.Whereas PS3 is far from even being spotted close to the borders of our country.The price is another factor to be considered.Xbox 360 would be somewhere around 18k in the grey market and 24k officially.PS3 has just barged in so it will take sometime for it to flex it's muscles.Out of the official launch titles Motor Storm & Resistance:FOM are the only titles which had received pretty rave reviews.Hence you have limited choice on your hands.

If you currently Own a PSP, then wait & buy PS3.

coz...you can use the PSP as a Wing Mirror,
Like in the PS3 Exclusive F1 2006 game.
"Formula One 06 is a formula one racing game for the PlayStation 3, which features live interaction with the PSP for use as a wing mirror."

can you ever imagine anything like this in any other so called Next Gen Console..

Same feature might be implied on ther games like FIA WRC.

metal gear solid, gran turismo, what else?.....many of the PS exclusives are now making their way to the 360 as well....all the delays in game releases are making the developers a little nervous....so rather than putting all their eggs in one basket, their porting the titles to the 360 as well

imo, MGS is the PS3's only decent exclusive....GT is good, but Xbox 360 has Forza 2, which is nearly as good

The biggest reason publishers are going multiplatform is only because the cost of making games has gone too high and they are not able to make money releasing the games for one single platform , still the consoles have exclusives most of them are the first party titles like halo/GOW/froza for xbox and Killzone/mgs/f1 for PS3. Reports from initial launch titles is that ps3 games lok like crap on a standard def tv but look really really good on a hi def tv , on the other hand the 360 game dont look horribly bad on standard def tv as ps3 games(launch titles) do, although obviously even 360 games look better on hidef tv's.

Actually i'm a big sony fan and i'd really want to suggest you the ps3. But considering all things it'd be better for you to buy Xbox 360.

Assasin's Creed is a new Franchise so it doesn matter that much and no one really cares about Fatal Inertia and Bladestorm. This gen again the exclusives will decide the winner and Sony has plenty of them and not to forget Playstation name.

Woah!They got it already. I was about to make a stop at Alfa the other day when I went to my friend's place but being too tired I backed out.The price seems extremely high.What about the games? Did you spot any notable launch titles or their price for that matter? Btw The official Xbox 360 Premium version from Planet M costs Rs.27,400 & each game is priced around Rs.2,510.I couldn't find Gears Of War & COD 3 albeit their presence on the broucher but when inquired the guy said that it would be here in a week or two.When queried about it's price remaining static or not,He replied that "It could be anywhere between Rs.2,500 to Rs.3,999 Sir" WTF!!!
