Hey everyone I've got both consoles and just wondering what console I should preorder on? any suggestions, i will be playing offline and online.

I only said 360 because Thats the only system I have. Plus I don't like PS3's chat system otherwise.

Please stop these threads!
There has already been loads of them!

True. True. I normally would have said that, but it's like 6:30 in the morning. <_<

Sorry new to the forums didn't see any that's why i posted.

I have both as well, and as I rule of thumb I use, any game with multiplayer that is not PS3 exclusive I get on X360.
1) All of my friends are on X360, so I get it on 360 to play with them and 2) I just think the online play on 360 is better with the party system.

That's a tough one...

PS3 is free-to-play online of course, but it shows. Compared to 360's online, as far as I know, there's a LOT less people with mics on PS3 and server stability + support tend to be a little shaky on Sony's part. But then again, the PS3 is less prone to crashes than the 360...

I'm a PS3 guy, but I gotta say, if you have a 360 and you're paying for online already you may as well order it for 360. If not, then PS3.

Like the above post says, get it for 360 if you are paying for online already, if not, get it for ps3.

And PC is the anwser to all these problems

i actually think PC/steam might be the best option. however for consoles I would recommend the 360 over PS3 (I have PS3 now, had xbox, btw).
- Xbox is easier to develop for and usually have less bugs for multi platform games.
- There are more FPS players on xbox. look at the sales of any multi-platform FPS game. xbox always has higher sales.
- The paid xbox live service also means the online community is a bit more serious about gaming than many people using PSN for free.
- i think xbox live is better than PSN for reliability and quality

Not always a good thing

Totally agree with Slug 360. I also have both, and tend to stick with the 360 with all my online games, I just think Live has something to it that PSN doesn't.

Well 360 IS paid for, thats why it is matninced better because its better funded.

I can tell you're new, because if you weren't you would have seen where all the cool kids here are gathering. :hubbahubba:

It depends.

360 is more often the (VERY slightly) more stable platform for online. But that isn't always the case, and while your budget may say otherwise, it's not worth the ongoing charges involved for me.

The PS3 is a theoretically more powerful system (nothing's really pushing those limits the way it should though), but the difficulty in coding for the Cell processor mostly negates this on multiplatform titles.

I voted PS3 because I'm on it, and more players for me is always a good thing.

The 360 has a larger base of FPS fans, but the majority of FPS players on both consoles are self-absorbed whiny little brats, and the size of the sensible minority is actually proportionately larger on the PS3 (so you have a better ration of useful teammates vs. idiots on PS3).

Disclaimer: This is the opinion of someone with a MASSIVE amount of experience on PS3, and a decent, but still lesser, amount of experience on XBox 360. Bias is possible due to preference of the PS3, but not intended. Both systems are better for different people, I happen to fit the "PS3 suits me" bracket

Actually Pre-Ordered on PC, but yeah :foodndrink:

You don't even mention my name? I've just "above post"? How heartless


THAT IT IS! Just fork out 4-6x the cost of a console and wrestle a mountain of jargon and you're set. :thumbsup:

Jokes aside, some day I will have a gaming rig... some day...

This.

Welcome to the forums! :turtle: The reason why you didn't see any is because we already talked about these things a year ago. But its cool, I've been known to make repeat threads in my time. :violin:

Excited for my pre-order on PS3, plus 10+ of my friends will be getting it as well!

Please do play on the system/platform of your choice. These threads usually serve as a platform bashing thread since everyone has their own opinions. Since we don't allow platform/console bashing, they often also end up getting a lot of people warnings.

So, I'm locking this one now.
