X Box 360 or PS3 - which one to get ??? - Page 6

Harddrives fail a lot more than a rom drive. I want something physical to hold, not virtual.

I blame console owners for my PC stress. I cant play any Valve game without Steam being on and I cant even install the damn games without Steam on. I have the disc but nnnnnnnooooooooooooo it downloads the game instead of taking a couple minutes installing from the disc. Even with a cable connection its retarded.

I would go with the 360 as there is an incentive for you in it. Put it on the main big screen and if you have a netflix account you can watch them from the xbox.

oh yeah, since you have a wii

get the 360, better gaming.

you'll be replacing the system is 3-4yrs anyways, whether you have a 360/ps3 anyways.

On demand is great! Until you want to buy a used game, or sell one that sucks..

Just another way for them to take more of your money.

Ill stop buying games when I have to download them.

If I'm downloading, I may as well pirate them..

On demand should be the future of movies. I dont like the idea of on-demand for games. Of course none of this will happen if the ISPs keep adding bandwidth caps and packet shaping. Youll have to pan Comcast a monthly fee to play games on your console.

I bought an Elite about 2 years ago with no problems. Tons of playing and HD dvd viewing.

The Elite has HD built in? I didn't know that. I have the external unit. Too bad about HD huh? Oh, oh here's where you tell me that HD is much better and how blue ray is overkill, having way too much power/capacity for the street...I mean home.

What is it with fanatics being in love with inferior products? j/k

No. I got the HD add on for cheap. I also got it to work on my pc too.

I like the quality of HD dvd's over blu ray but hey, thats me. Plus you can get a bundle of HD dvd's for a good price now. LOL

PS3 just announced today that they will be netflics capabale soon.

i don't run it on my 360, but do you save the movies to your hard drive or ???

i would think , since the PS3 is wireless capable, the HD movies would be choppy or have degredaded pics. unless you saved it to your H/D and watched it.

hve had my 360 at least 3-4yrs, Halo edition, no probs. used to play ALOT every weekend 5-6hrs at a time.
