Did you get the prologue?

No.......not yet.

I did download the HD GT demo and a few dozen other demo's. I've been playing all of the demo's and haven't bought a game yet

Wow! Tight results in the poll! If I had to choose... I would go PS3. But honestly, I think the Wii is one of the most entertaining!

Xbox 360 is the way to go way better games if thats what you want it for.

BlueZero,

Are you loving that PS3? I'm now thinking of getting one (have a PS2) and I'm not much of a gamer, but I want it for the Blu-Ray disc (CNET says it is pretty much the best blu-ray player out).

I have a pretty good setup in "movie room" with a 72" rear project Samsung DLP (1080p) but in all honesty I MUCH prefer my 46" Sony XBR4 LCD. I've got an older Onkyo receiver which is decent by not cutting edge and some decent polk speakers. I almsot never play my PS2, but wonder if getting the PS3 is worth it just for the Blu-ray?

Re: XBOX360 or PS3 (Not Spam)

Yes, I am loving it!

I had a Sony 27" CRT but now I bought a Samsung 42" plasma and love it. It really takes advantage of the PS3. I'm not really much of a gamer but I get into it every now and again. I've watched a few Blu-Ray's and it looks amazing.

One more thing to consider is even if you never use it for gaming it can do so much more. It's one of the best upconvert players out right now too. To be honest I can't tell much of a difference between regular DVD's and Blu-Ray when I play them on the PS3. When I play a DVD on my regular DVD player it doesn't look as good. I've been wanting to get the same move on Blu-Ray and regular DVD so I can compare apples to apples. You can use it as a media server too, I haven't really tried to figure that all out yet. My buddy came over awhile back and was showing me photos in his digital camera. I was like wait this thing has a card reader build in, give me that card. We put it in and flipped through the photos on my TV. It's pretty cool, you can rotate and zoom with the PS3 controller.

Mine did break and I had to send it in. It wasn't as bad as I thought. They send you a special box that it fits right in, not long later you have it back.

Closing thought... Just get one, you'll love it!

360 all the way graphics are a little lower than the ps3 which is true but online play is better more game choices. and net filx is going to be joining with microsoft soon so if you have netflix and xbox live you can go on netflix on your xbox and watch any movie whenever you want that update is going to be released late fall.

Re: XBOX360 or PS3 (Not Spam)

Battlefield Bad Company was pretty fun. My buddy and I rented that a few weeks ago. It's cool how you can destroy 90% of the elements in the game. Plus there is humor in the story line.

Re: XBOX360 or PS3 (Not Spam)

I have xbox360 bc i wanted to play halo3.... that was the only reason I choose xbox360 over ps3

I will wait for GT5 to come out to get ps3 which by then hopefully it'd drop another $100 or so in price since we talking a year or 2 away.....

xbox is lagging on me on the graphics heavy games though like rainbow six vegas 2 and bad company.... scary bc of all the issues with overheating but I put a laptop cooler under it so it always stays cold to the touch.... microsoft pushed the xbox out too fast without refining it and here we see the consequence.... I dont think xbox can play a lot of the future games because it just isnt as powerful or reliable as a ps3(i hope my xbox doesnt get mad at me for saying that hahaha).... but for now its still working....
