What (latest) games console would you recommend me buy???

Question

It's mainly between the Xbox and PS3.... as far as I'm concerned... but then... I don't know!
How about the Wii???

I'm into RPGs. Final Fantasy inperticular.
Adventure games.... like Tomb Raider (for the ps1) and the odd car racing game....
I know that doesn't say much.... but yeah... I spend most my time on RPGS and anything that has action and adventure!

But what do you think I should get!?!?

I hear good and bad things about both consoles, and they're so expensive, I dont wanna go wrong!!!
I know nothing of what games belong to what either. So maybe you can help me out????

(my brother owned an Xbox 360.... though i've not touched it because he moves out before i could haha.... i saw it though, it looks big and bulky... is the PS like that too? I thought these things get smaller and smaller)

Answer 1

It all depends on what you REALLY want to be doing with your console. For instance, if you want to just play games, your RPG's, Final Fantasies, all that kind of thing, I would say the PS3 is for you. But if you're more into community based games, where you can play with your friends and have great fun doing it, you have to go with the XBOX.



So to put it in short, I'll give you my personal opinions on a few things.



Games: Wii or XBOX360

Graphics: PS3

Online Play: XBOX360

Lifespan: PS3 (The XBOX360 has problems of overheating but it shouldn't hinder your choice, Microsoft do offer to fix it.)

All round: XBOX360 - I own an XBOX360 and I love it.

Answer 2

I thought the consoles were supposed to get smaller to?



Any way the Ps3 may be good I recommend the Xbox 360 it may be bulky but the newer versions run smoother also the Ps3 is a lot bigger,it may look cool but if you get finger prints on them then they like never come off.

Games wise Xbox 360 has a great variety like Gears of War and Oblivion even Devil May Cry 4.Some say the graphics on the playstation 3 are better but thats only if 1.You have a High Definition Tv 2.It only works with certain games so its up to you.Id say Xbox 360 you get the Tomb raiders and its not been confirmed that FFXIII wont come on Xbox 360 so keep your hopes up.



Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well, as a FF fan I would have said go PS3, but now its on 360 too it levels the playing field. Well, sort of. The 360 version is going to be a port of the PS3 version (meaning its being made for the PS3 and then copied so it works on 360) and while they say they are going to condense everything so the xbox version has just as good graphics as the PS3 version, this might not be the case.



Also the 360 takes HD dvds, PS3 takes Blurays. Blurays have more storage space so the whole game will fit on one or two disks, on the 360 version you will probably have to keep swapping discs. Also Bluray has won the format war on what is going to replace dvds, and HD dvd lost. This means that most films in the future will be on Bluray, so if you buy films now, and want to carry on buying films in the future, it would be best to get a Bluray player, which you get built into a PS3 but not the 360.



There is also a new Tomb Raider game coming out, but it will be out for both PS3 and 360, so that doesnt really help there. I think you'll find alot of games are being released for both consoles, because developing games for this generation of consoles in expensive so companies try to get as much money back as possible.



I think what it comes down to is what you want out of the you console. If you buy alot of films, buy a PS3. The 360 has a wider range of games, and if you had one it also means you could borrow games off your brother. But alternatively if you got a PS3 it would mean you would have a 360 AND a PS3 in your family, and there would be no game you couldnt get!



And yes the PS3 is bulky lol, but it looks FAR better than the 360 :P



EDIT:

OH and also, the PS3 has an rpg coming out called White Knight Chronicles http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/shirokishi/

Watch the trailer, its kick-***.



P.P.S I keep thinking of things! 360s break all the freaking time, just like Windows (good ol' microsoft selling products that dont work properly), also I dont know if you like to play games online, but to play online on a 360 you have to pay, PS3 it's free.

Answer 4

Well, Final Fantasty IS coming out on the Xbox and the PS3. So just save your money and get that.



Fable 2 and Gears of War2 are two of the best exclusives that are coming out for the Xbox. GTA IV, and Fallout 3 will have exclusive downloadable content on the Xbox and so will Portal (that game from the Orange box - its really good).



Exclusive games that are already out include Halo3, Forza Motorsport 2, Crackdown, Lost Oddesy [made by the people who make Final Fantasy VII], and Bioshock (but Bioshock is out on the PC, and soon to be released on the PS3)



Left 4 Dead is a game that you may not have payed much attention to, but it will be awesome. It is coming out on the PC too, but is still a console exclusive.



Coming out on the PS3 include Little Big Planet, and Resistance Fall of Man 2. Games that are already out include Resistance: fall of man 1 and Metal Gear Solid.



The only differences between the Xbox360 elite and the pro is the Hard Drive size, and the colour. Oh and the price too. Over the next couple of weeks there should be a price drop on the Pro version in the US to make way for a pro version with a 60GB hard drive.



The key differences between your PS3 and your Xbox are that your Xbox requires you to pay for online play, but the service is a little better. Games that are coming out for both systems include Fallout3, Mirrors Edge, and FINAL FANTASY XIII.



The Red Ring of Death "RRoD" is a constant problem with about 33% of Xbox Pro consoles. However the Xbox elites are less prone to the problem (about 10%).



Both Microsoft and Sony announced that they would improve their consoles by offering more downloadable movies, if you have a Netflix account you will be able to stream High Definintion movies to your console at no extra cost.



By the end of the year the Xbox will have the option to save games to the Hard Drive, saving on loading times. The PS3 already has this feature.

Answer 5

id get a ps3 theyre great for gaming and have free internet access unlike the Xbox360. You can get the types of games you like on both consoles so if you go online and read a few reviws then you can make ure own mind up about things

Answer 6

I'd save up for a PS3, yes it is bulky like the Xbox 360 (infact its more so) The Wii is ok once you get the hang of the controls but It seems like you'd prefer the PS3.



I've lost count of the number of XBOX 360s my household has haddue to the infamous Red Ring of death and the like whereas the PS3 has worked from day one,
