Jd8... shoulda got a ps3.

PS3 has some kick ass exlcusive titles and a much better OS. For example, you can take a flash drive and load movies or TV shows on it and watch them on ur bad ass TV.

I put Devil's Rejects 720p on a flashdrive and it looked just as good as the blu-ray disc. Oh yah blue-ray player as well so even if you dont play videogames you can be happy with a blue-ray player

I don't have a 360, but a PS3, and i've never once thought that it was a bad decision. Could be that I don't like microshite, and don't want to give them my hard earned cash for a piece of shit that will break. My PS3 has NEVER been turned off (for more than 10 mins) since the day I got it (~3 days after release) and its still fine, not caught fire yet, unlike 360

I own neither but for many reasons I would choose the PS3. The comments beforehand about flash drives, better OS, 360's red rings are all part of this, not to mention exclusive titles on PS3 most notably MGS4. The other reason which hasn't been put is that of longevity. A 360 has a simple Dual -Layer DVD ROM in, this can hold approximately 8gb of data on a dual layer disc. Of course the PS3 has a blu-ray player which can hold 50gb of data on a dual layer disc. So when the games start getting more and more complex the 360 is going to have little extra disc space to work with, where as the PS3 will have plenty of space.

Long story short, you buy a 360 in 5 years time you'll have to buy another MS Console, you buy a PS3 now then you shouldn't have to buy another for about 10 years.

im playing it on ps3 and loving it

ive tried gta4 on xbox360 and it has much longer loading times

which to me waiting 10-20 sec extra every time just felt like it was killing the game

get the ps3 version, it will have its own exclusive missions etc. soon as well

You will also have to buy a PS4. It won't last you 10 years because the games simply won't run on it. Technology in the console business gets recycled every 5 years, and sony cannot leave microsoft to have a vastly superior console that could make the PS3 look like a Wii now.

Besides, the PS3 is more expensive than an Xbox 360 by around $100. A bluray drive will most definitely be made to the Xbox before the five years end.

Any how, like I said. Wait for a PC version and buff your PCs people. at this point you could get a PC for roughly the Price of a console that performs at least equally if not better for the same games if you exclude the monitor's price.

The benefits of a 360 are is that it can be modded fairly easily to play pirated games. That is about it, just make sure to play it a lot for 6 months or so to insure it isn't a shitty 360.

PS3 otherwise, it has a blu-ray player for the same price as a 360, less loading times as you said for that game a shit load others. Also, it is the more stable platform, only problem is that you won't get rumble with the packaged controller.

If you have a good PC, fuck them both and wait for PC version.

PS3- I've got it on that system and I must say it's damn impressive.

I used to have an xbox360 but I eventually got rid of it; the Red Ring of Death thing scared the shit out of me, and all my friends' xboxes were crapping out on them.

It might not have many games right now, but the PS3 will make up for it in the long run.

I have a 360 which my brother got a few years ago and i got GTA on release day and i havent stopped playing it since.

Its great but im more of a saddistic gamer and i find my entertainment in playing games like "hit the car" in which the aim is to jump out of the helicopter at great height and try to hit a car or try to run from end of the city or map to the other while killin cops,(or anything that has a pulse).

Saying that, I find that playing the game is alot more fun than worrying about wasting twenty seconds of my time while the game loads at the start. It loads at the start and at the beginning of missions but its only breifly then you can continue the onslaught of your own personal genocide.

I dunno which i would go for as yes PS3 is a better machine an gameplay and loading times improved but downloadable content is goin to keep the game getting more intresting and more entertaining.

The driving is different but so is the whole game. Rockstar have pulled it out of the bag again and have tried to make the whole game as realistic and lifelike as possible so all elements react as they would in real life. You shoot someone in the lower leg they limp, you hit a wall while going very fast in your car and you go through the front windscreen, If you keep the accelerator down while driving and turn without lifting expect to slam into the wall with your tyres screeching and sliding. Once you get used to it the driving is vastly improved in my opinion as it is easier to weave between cars and the genral feel of each car is different and more like it should feel.

I do miss the double sawn-offs cj had but it would feel outta place in this one.

loading times on the ps3 are about 5 seconds faster than the xbox and the xbox graphics look kinda washed out n lifeless . the lighting simulation on the ps3 is far superior for a start xbox,s shadows have a strange green hue. you could add to this arguement that the ps3 is less lightly to break down after long play times plus you dont need to pay to play it online oh and ps3 has blueray not HD-DVDEAD FORMAT .

FidoFuck You, I Like My Bike
Up with bikes. Bicycles are the greatest invention since the wheel. Really, there are 2 wheels, making them doubly as good. The downside to bicycling is dealing with idiots in automobiles. White knuckled, bleary eyed buffoons in a hurry to go nowhere. Heads up during a collision, there’s no contest between a bike and a car, the car wins. The only upside is perhaps the opportunity to be thrown headfirst through the dumbfuck’s windshield and then be able in your blood...
