PS3 or XBox 360

Post by StevieL »

It may have been done already, but heres my situation.....

I own a PS3, I bought it for GT5 and im not waiting for a decent driving game any longer....so im thinking about transfering to an Xbox 360.

All my mates have the Xbox so I can swap more games etc, I dont play online so not worried about subsription fees, most importantly, I can get Forza 3.

What would you do in my position.

Xbox or PS3?

Get the 360 to accompany the PS3, not instead of. GT5 will be a great game when it's released, but Forza3 is great now so have your cake and eat it.

Why? You've already paid the big money, a 360 is relative peanuts, be daft to get rid of it if you've waited this long for GT5.

I say get the 360 personally.

If you only bought the PS3 for GT5 and not a lot else you will be happy enough with Forza 3.
I'd love to know just how many people bought their PS3 for GT5.
Could end up being a disaster for Sony.

Well Im currently changing the style of my car, fitting a new gearbox and clutch, going on holiday at Xmas at lots of other things so id rather not spend anymore cash on a luxury item when my funds are needed elsewhere.

Fair enough, but if that's the case then don't buy a new console :thumleft:

I'm coming across here as a right miserable sod, I know, but I don't mean it like that. What I'm trying to say is that I too bought my PS3 two years ago specifically for GT5, and whilst I don't use it for games at all as I don't like the controller there's no point me selling it as I know I'll still want GT5 when it comes out (even though Forza3 is just incredible), and then I'll have paid twice for it.

Hang on if you can, or pick up a cheap 360 off eBay (even a RRoD one, fix it with the X-Clamp thing) and pop a copy of Forza3 in it. I wouldn't sell one to finance the other, you'll hate yourself when GT5 comes out and everyone apart from you is playing it.

depends what you like.... both have different exlcusives etc but as he wants it for racing games then the only difference is gt5 and forza bieng as all other racing games are out on both consoles.
personally i prefer gt5p over forza 2 and 3. i know its not a full game but it just looks and feels so much nicer. i used to play forza for several hours a day but it just seem to play aswell.

Had a bit of good news finacially so will probably keep the PS3 and buy an Xbox, I really only want it for Forza3 tbh, just seems a waste having 2 consoles for 2 games :-k
