I've had a 360 since launch and I have really enjoyed it. The console had plenty of great games that were fun to play but the glaring issue of the 360's reliability has been bothering me. I've sent my console back 5 times and I've had enough.  I want a console that is much more solid and reliable and I think that answer is the PS3. The PS3 has a great line up of games and the online is actually free. That leads me to another 360 turnoff.... the price gouging on the marketplace. I haven't compared prices so they might be the same but it seems that arcade games are just going up and up and I don't want to foot the bill anymore. Maybe if I don't pay for XBL I'll have more cash for arcade stuff. Also the 360's lineup is not stellar right now. Gears of War and Halo are the two biggest franchises that I'll miss but they'll be replaced with stuff like killzone and resistance.

It kinda sucks because I've spent so much on 360 but I think this is the right choice.  I ultimately just want a console that actually works and that is not the 360

Switching to dudes? K, thx.

...seriously, if you've got both, there's no reason not to use both. Exclusivity is lame. If I had the cash, I'd put a PS3 right next to my 360 right now.

Don't bash him. I think it's really a toss up at this point between the PS3 and 360. Multiplatform games will probably always be better on the 360 but the PS3 has some pretty wacky and cool stuff in it's marketplace. If I could pick I'd still choose my 360 but I can see where he's coming from. The PS3 isn't such a joke anymore now that there's plenty of really good games on it.

Babble: it's not a camp... its money. I have limited funds and I just want to spend money on a single console. I still like the 360 so im not going to bash it saying it sucks or anything. I'm not a fanboy or anything i just wanted a change... thats it. I just listed some of the reasons i want to switch.  There are several good things about 360 that the PS3 doesn't have. I'm really surprised by the immaturity of some of the people here

The only switching you'll be doing is on your HDMI Switch Box. 

Both systems have great games, it's not like you'll be giving up on your 360 completely. 

The PS3 sure does look like it's gunna have more to play though, this year.  We'll see.

Ya i understand that. I get pissed at that fanboy stuff as well. Each console has pros and cons but most of the time thats ignored

" I ultimately just want a console that actually works and that is not the 360"

You have Puppets as your picture, therefore everything you say is correct. Ignore everyone else and go with your heart, kid.

I don't get why almost everyone here is upset with this guy. His 360 broke numerous times and he just wants a reliable system. Hell, I'd trade in my 360 if it weren't for the one or two exclusives that I'd like to pick up every year.

Ya Sleepy that was the hard thing... I love Halo and Gears but ill still play them some how

5 times? I feel bad for you dude, thats some shiity luck. They do have some good stuff on there. The thing that sucks is getting rid of all the games you enjoy playing on the 360.

Honestly, the PS3 isn't manufactured much better than the 360. It's just that the PlayStation isn't the majority system any more so you don't hear about it's problems that much. One of my co-workers is on his third PS3, because the previous two started having disc drive problems, each one after about a year of regular use. The laser burned out on the first one, which was a launch system and I told him that was to be expected. While the second system started to have laser issues and then the motor that powers the disc drive went and it ate his Uncharted disc. I don't want to deter you from buying a PS3. I have one and love it, but am just trying to set the record straight so you know what your getting involved with before spending all that money to buy one since hardware issues seem to be a big thing for you.

I just had 360 #2 break on me, it sucks not having one. The only reason I haven't just bought a PS3 is because none of my friends have one, and.....well, achievements. I know the PS3 offers trophies but they just aren't the same to me. If they could overhaul the 360's design, even if it made it look like shit, I'd be all for it. As long as they had a console that wouldn't break.

Also I think the RROD is partly caused by DVD movies. I know a few friends who have had their's break while or after having played a DVD. I remember having trouble with them too. Every time I would go to the dashboard from a DVD my 360 would become really loud, and it would keep getting louder, like a car accelerating. I'd have to shut it off for fear of it blowing up or something. I ramble.

Anyways just some food for thought. I know I'm never using my 360 to play DVD's again.

That's why you hear about all those PS3 hardware failures in magazines, websites, podcasts, and forums."

Cool, its a fun machine. Sure the 360 has some great games, but their hardware quality is questionable (sony isnt perfect either), and I hate their practice of buying exclusive DLC. Sure I might buy fallout 3 on the PS3, but I'd eventually want all the DLC. Oh, sorry MS forked over tons of cash for exclusive rights to that. Exclusive DLC is the Bullshit of the current generation and I'm sick of MS getting all the goods.

Just throw that piece of crap in the garbage and buy yourself a decent hardware. It is the best thing you can do. BTW, Uncharted is pretty good. You won't miss 360 games.
