But I think we all know which would be the best choice

JosieKelly5338d ago

While I agree the Slim is the best choice (I'm assuming here) it's not that simple for everyone

mintaro5338d ago

Well for the price of the launch PS3 you cant both, with 1 or 2 games so why not.

Citroen5338d ago

Yead I agree, getting both is the absolute best choice

bmatthews5338d ago

The article never states which is the best choice

PS360DS5338d ago

Not everybody can afford both...

Jamie Foxx5338d ago

360 has what ps3 lacks...GAMES? wtf

rucky5338d ago

This is one of those free product ads disguise as an article! WTF is wrong with you people!

ThanatosDMC5338d ago

PS3. "It can only do EVERYTHING!"

Seriously, most games are coming for both consoles anyway. But then GOTY exclusive games... well, we know where those are gonna be or are.

thedisagreefairy5338d ago

their site under the name Bryce to help clear things up for their readers

bothe consoles have good games

the site saying the ps3 has no games and a couple games they do list arent even on the ps3 but rather the psp, makes it very clear the author has done no research and hasnt even checked to see whats out for the console.

hopefully their readers also check out the comment section to get a more balanced analysis

A lot of people are saying get both. I disagree because until a certain company can get their failure rates down to a reasonable number I refuse to support them. By supporting them you are pretty condoning their behavior. This isn't a fanboy rant. I used to have all consoles and thought that the whole failure rate thing was a conspiracy. I found out the hard way unfortunately. Fortunately for me however, my collection of games where very small so I didn't put a huge investment into the system. My friends however cannot say that same. They've invested a lot of time and made many friends and bought many games. To them it's too late and I understand why they keep purchasing a faulty console over and over again. My two cents.

duplissi5338d ago

hmm one or the other..... or instead both!

obviously if you are capable you should have both, i mean why sell yourself out of the exclusives on either side?

they are very SIMILAR and very DIFFERENT at the same time. just because the last year or so havent been as good for the xbox as far as games are concerned does not mean it will stay this way, and in the same vein the games coming out for the ps3 have been phenomenal, but upcoming games could suck.

WenisWagon5338d ago

How about have neither because both are garbage, overpriced pieces of junk.

Pika-pie5338d ago

PS3 is the easy choice, but both systems are so cheap now that you might as well get both and have complete access to all the greatest games in the current gen library

JsonHenry5338d ago

I have both. I rarely play either one, but I use the 360 every day for Netflix. If it was not for LiveArcade titles I would barely play on the 360.

The PS3 collects dust unless I need a blu-ray player.

But it is summer time, no games to play really. And after I play all of this fall's GREAT PC games, I will start renting console games and I am sure I will get plenty of mileage out of both consoles.

Multi-Console Owner5338d ago

I have a Phat PS3 and a 360 and I'm happy :)

Microsoft Xbox 3605338d ago

To be honest, I rather buy 2 PS3 slims. Nothing on the 360 interests me.

bang for buck: go with the Ps3 Slim

JosieKelly5338d ago

TBH I'd agree the amount of stuff you get for $299 by buying a slim is unmatched.

Citroen5338d ago

That's why I got one, been waiting for a price cut and once it came I snatched the opportunity, it's a steal at $299 :)

dustgavin5338d ago

You could always buy the 360 if you need an extra space heater. Although...I suspect many 360 owners take comfort in their RROD night light.

CestusGOWIII5338d ago

another article that says PS3 has no games...!

what are we back in 2006? is that what's happened?

PS360DS5338d ago

You got to think though...if they couldn't hang on to that as a criticism what would they use...?

D4RkNIKON5338d ago

Haha, they will hold on to that excuse as long as they can. My only question is how can they even say that in 09? They haven't had a solid lineup in 09 at all.

Syronicus5338d ago

They say it as if anybody looking to buy a 360 is going to run out and purchase all the 2k6 and 2k7 games released on the 360...

Sorry, but the only games that truly make any difference are those released within the last two years. Anything earlier is just fluff int he bargain bin and not everybody has time to play the back catalogs of sad early console release games.

Arnon5338d ago

Uhh... Halo 3 is still selling, and it was released in September of 2007.

Karlnag35338d ago

Halo 3 is still a mediocre shooter that hasn't even changed with ODST and still no1 cares. PS3 is better for me. I know, I have both.

Arnon5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

I think before you judge people, it would be best to click on their profile. That being said, I'm pretty sure that was the biggest contradiction I've ever seen.

"I know Halo 3 is still selling, but no one cares about Halo 3."

Also, why not just stick with your main account? You created that like, a month ago, right? You've hardly visited the site, let alone commented, yet you seem to know everyone around here. Is your main account banned from the Gamer Zone?

"On the other hand, the Xbox 360 Elite has something that the PS3 lacks — GAMES."

HAHAHA!

bmatthews5338d ago

And here's me thinking the issue of the PS3 having no games had died...

Lol and LOL!

iNetWatch5338d ago

I guess when people run out of reasons to criticise the PS3, they have to bring a few reasons back from retirement...lol

FuckinUsername5338d ago

Beat me to it..motherflopper.
I did lol though...We've gone back in time.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 2h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken22h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 13h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 1h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken22h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
