Case in point: The Orange Box.![]()
haha, thats the exact title i was thinking of.
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This thread interests me, because I'm having the same debate myself. I'd like to have 360, but the $100 wifi (my house uses wireless dsl), plus $50/yr online fee, and still-high failure rate makes it hard for me to really commit to 360. Plus PS3 has blu-ray and HD that is easier to swap and upgrade, and once PSN has Home I think the online services will be almost similiar.
You know what made my decision...is I'm an adopter of downloadable titles lately. I love the Virtual Console and WiiWare, and use both of these services very frequently.
The 360 has a slew of downloadable titles I really want, and to me most of the games I want are multi-platform, so the DL stuff won the argument for me.
I want Castle Crashers, Galaga: Legions, TMNT, Pac-Man: CE, Geometry Wars 2 and such.
yeah the system's are taking different routes with this stuff. XBL definetly has more to offer as far as content.The PS3, though is where you'll find bigger downloadable titles like Warhawk, Siren, Gran Turismo Prologue, Wipeout HD, Socom, which for the system, HDD size is more important. So far its only been Sony titles offered up on there but this week Burnout Paradise will be the first 3rd party retail game offered as a downloadableThe 360 has a slew of downloadable titles I really want, and to me most of the games I want are multi-platform, so the DL stuff won the argument for me.

Seeing how you listed nothing but Cons for the 360, and Pros for the PS3, I think you've already decided.
PS3 is the better bang-for-your-buck. You get a Blu-Ray player, great games library, backwards compatibility with PS1 games, PS2 games (if you have the 80 gig); you also get a full out media center which can store videos, endless amounts of mp3's, surf the net, purchase things online at the SONYstore etc...and free online play.
Thanks for the writeup, ChrisBaleBatman. My biggest reservation about 360 is RROD, and I guess I have no choice but to pony up $30 or whatever to get the warranty. It adds up to the cost and it's not something I'm happy about.

Thanks for the clarification. If Microsoft's warranty covers repair and shipping, then I guess I don't need to get another one from the store. Still, I don't I'll never experience RROD.
