Xbox 360 or PS3?

[Jeanne]

I currently have Xbox and PS2. I don't think I can justify getting both Xbox 360 and PS3 due to the prices and limited budget. Which one should I choose?

This is a highly opinionated question, and it really depends on what you like. However, I personally would say if you're only going to get one, get the PS3. I've never owned an Xbox, for multiple reasons, one being there's only a small selection of games I'd be interested in gettting, whereas for PS2 I have 43 games (including PSone games). I'm expecting some great games to come out for PS3, wereas for Xbox360 I'd be surprised if there's more than a handful of games that I'd want. But again, this is all just personal preference. You may decide you prefer the Xbox games. It depends on what games you like, what genres (if you enjoy RPGs then PS3 is what you want - PS2 has been the platform of choice for RPGs so far, and I would be surprised if the PS3 didn't continue this trend).Now, given all this, you also need to think about the Nintendo Revolution. It's going to come out later than the PS3, so you'll have more time to save up some money, and it's definitely going to be the cheapest console of the three. And with its unique control scheme (if you don't know about it, you can probably find the original article on ign.com) it's not so much a competitor for the other two consoles as a companion. Anyway, if you can afford it, I highly recommend getting the Revolution in addition to whichever other console you decide upon.Addition: Turns out the Xbox 360 is also pretty horribly bug-ridden. You might want to give it a pass.

I'd say wait until the first batch of the ps3 finishes its run before you make a decision.We can see with the first gen xbox 360, theres a few bugs to be worked out. We can see if sony has similar problems with this. See if sony has any new tricks to bring out. And see what software support sony can get for the ps3.
