Ok, looking for some advice on consoles. Providing i have some spare cash at xmas i will be looking to expand my console collection by adding a PS3 or an Xbox 360... Now there are currently one plus point for each...
- Xbox is £100 - £140 cheaper for a base unit
- PS3 has no online charges
So, i am asking for your input as to which console to get based on the following criteria.
1. Price for a fully setup system (base + games + controllers + addons like recharge packs)
2. Ability to play online easily.
3. Game range (NOT FPS titles as i hate doing those with gamepad.. currently PS3 has the edge with little big planet and MGS4)
4. Ability to playback downloaded video content.. *cough* (i think both can, but with my Cowboy Bebop in MKV format, i need robustness and ability to read data DVDs as well as external HDD)
Now for the dislaimer:
NO FANBOYS !!! If anyone starts whining like a fanboy i will ask an admin to delete their posts, same goes for any derailing... I just want some informed opinion from people who own one or both the consoles. What they see as the plus and minus points.. And if i should just stick with my Wii and see what games hit at xmas.
