Default PS3 or Xbox 360


Guys plannin on buying a console, cant decide which one to go for, allthough I am a tech freak, and the PS3 offers bleeding edge tech, so i m kinda inclined towards it.

But I hear the xbox has better multiplayer connectivity and stuff, no idea how it is india?!.basically jus wanna play arcade games, racing, soccer and stuff, games that can be enjoyed on a console

for the fps games i have my comp.so wat do u guys suggest?

As he said money is not a problem, it makes sense to buy xbox 360 until some good PS3 games are released, However if u going to buy only 1 console then get PS3

Nope.The 40GB model doesn't have backward compatibility support.Shouldn't pose a big issue if the OP isn't planning to buy original PS2 games to be used on the PS3.

PS3 80GB would be a wise choice for now.Make sure you purchase it locally though with warranty which is very crucial for any next generation console right now.

Unless u are very desperate to play some xbox-360 exclusive games,(Halo 3,Gears of War,Forza 2 which usually comes out on pc),buy a ps3.PS3 will probably last as a gaming platform for at least 4-6 more years,by which time Microsoft would have come up with another console of theirs.Besides it has Blue-Ray too.

PS:Yeah,X box 360 is supposed to have lots of problems with some people reporting that their console gave up on them 2-3 times after being given a new one.dunno whether this issue is solved or not.(360 has a failure rate of about 17%!! acc to various sites)

Actually, I recommend a Wii myself. I dont own one, but the fact that you can play any nintendo-released console's games on it definitely rocks, I have my eyes set on buying a Wii sometime next year when prices hopefully will fall.
