RedSox and I convinced our parents to get us a 360 (20 or 60 gig), (RedSox has a thread in the Microsfot board) but then our dad told us we could also get a PS3 (any version)...
Which should we get for Christmas?
(Move this to the appropriate board, I didn't know to post in Sony or Microsoft, or whatever board this belongs in.)
Knowing me being a Anti Microsoft and a person that grew up with Sony, I would say PS3.
Xbox 360.
Gears
Gears 2
Halo 3
Fable 2
Tales of Vesperia
GTAIV
Dead Space
Fallout 3 (?)
Left 4 Dead (though PC will be better)
those are all the ones i can think of atm.
I have no idea. I'm a Nintendo guy.
The 360 seems to be the most popular out of those two, though.
Both share like 80% of their libraries, so go off of exclusive titles.
360 is still dominating slightly at the moment, but Sony has finally woken up and is starting to crank out the exclusives. LBP is pure, unadulterated videocrack, and KHIII, Dark Cloud 3, and White Knight Chronicles will be coming out...eventually.
For a pure gaming system, go 360. For a cheap Bluray player at the cost of some 360 exclusives, go PS3.
Go for 360.
its all up to what you want, but i say PS3.
360.
More exclusives
Achievments
New Xbox expierience
online is better (Even though it's 50$ a year)
Ya.
i have only a wii, but i play Madden, Call of Duty and such with my friend and his 360. Get a 360 unless you want gears of war or something.
The PS3 has
Ratchet & Clank 2nd Trilogy
Jak & Daxter 2nd Trilogy (check wikipedia, it may use uncharted engine)
Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Uncharted Drakes Fortune 2
Heavenly Sword
Resistance Fall of Man
Resistance Fall of Man 2
Killzone 2
INfamous
Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty World at War
Bioshock
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII Versus
Little Big Planet
Grand Theft Auto 4
Metal Gear Solid 4
Resident Evil 5

Some of those aren't exclusives, but that should keep you busy. I guess PS3.
Xbox360! Definitely, you should try Tales of Vesperia!
360 if enjoy those FPS' and the occasional RPG.
X-box 360. As far as I've heard, it's less expensive (Which means more games for you guys), has better games (As far as I know), and is a better overall system... as far as I've heard. i really can't tell which is the best, I own neither.
Both are good picks and it all depends on your taste in exclusives. So take a good close look into the exclusives each system has.
I quite like my PS3, but all comes down to which system's exclusives you want more.
I like the Xbox 360 more. The PS3 is like a big ugly cinder block.
I think we're leaning towards the PS3, thanks for the help though. We are picking it over the 360 mainly because the exclusives look better. Also, all of our friends that have an 360 got the RRoD two times, (And my state has over a 65% failure rate...) and the online is free (mostly).
I'd go with the 360. PS3...I just don't see the appeal.

Go for 360.
360, better exclusive games
Tales of Vesperia
Halo 3 and... no others are coming to mind right now.
360 just cause it has a bigger library of games.
Hey guys, can one of you post a side by side list of the good exclusives?

gears 2 :\
Banjo is exclusive, right?
Fable 2 :\
gears
but i dont have a 360, so i dont know the big upcoming games. just the big names.
Depends.
Money? 299 to 175.
Games? Xbox 360
Movies? Ps3
Halo3 or MGS4?
Overall:
PS3: 40%
360: 60%
The more well known ones, yes.
PS3:
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance
Resistance 2
Killzone 2
M.A.G
Warhawk
Metal Gear Solid 4 (might possibly go to 360 eventually)
360:
Halo 3
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
Crackdown
Forza 2
MGS4 isn't going to the 360 ever.
The game takes up more than a standard DVD disc, and almost takes up the entirety of a Blu-Ray disc (hell, the japanese VA had to be taken out to make room for the English VA's). Also, it's one of the few games that takes advantage of the Cell processor (atm anyway).
So, unless you want the game to be about 3 discs, a hit to the graphics, and most likely some gameplay cuts, then it'll never go on the 360
(not to mention the game has some in jokes about the PS3 in the game itself)
you forgot Gears, Gears 2 and Tales of Vesperia for the 360.
Get a 360. Despite being the more fragile out of the two (besides, I've had mine for over a year and no problems). However, you'll want to keep it in a well venthilated area, and maybe have a fan on it.
At least it has more good games on it and the online service has people and is pretty good.
