    I have noticed lately that every game that comes for both Xbox 360 and PS3, Xbox always gets them first and better scores. Sense The Orange Box just came out I'm getting really excited to play it but its not out for PS3 till December. So I'm thinking about selling all my PS3 games and my PS3 for an Xbox 360, do you think its a good idea, should I do it?</p>

    You think so? Do you own an Xbox 360? Does it ever break down?</p>

    Isn't there some sort of new heatsink in 360's made after July 2007 to keep it from breaking down? Just wondering, because I've been thinking of getting one.</p>

    Good Idea if you sell your PS3 for the X-BOX 360.The games in my opinion are a lot better and I find it more fun then the PS3.About it breaking down just buy waranty.</p>

    I dont know guys... If I buy a 360 I won't be able to play Metal Gear Solid 4,Tekken 6,Killzone 2,Getaway 3,Jak And Daxter The Lost Frontier,Ratchet And Clank Future Tools Of Destruction,God Of War 3, nor Gran Turismo 5, plus they will have even MORE on the way. While Xbox 360 has Halo 3 (overrated) and Gears Of War that people say are good.</p>

    I've got a PS3. Just wait it out I say, the only reason PS3 hasnt had a stack load of quality games come out yet, is that its a more powerful system to the 360. 360 runs on DVD format still (HD-DVD) while Playstation runs with Blu-Ray discs. Developers arent yet fully equiped to get the best out of the PS3 that it has to offer. I'm not saying XBox 360 is crap, I've been thinking about maybe getting one too, but it isnt as powerful as the PS3 is.

    I bet once Developers start to get used to the PS3 and know how it works, PS3 games will be amazing. We need to let the PS3 grow, and wait for a little and PS3 which people call it King Of Consoles or God Of Consoles will be born.</p>

    Murphy's Law says shortly after you sell it, you will want it back. You are probably better off to save up for a 360 and end up with both machines so that you can play which ever game you want.</p>

    A better idea is to get a 1080p television and a bunch of Blu-Ray discs.</p>

    That way you will have a bargain top-of-the-line Blu-Ray player instead of an expensive, somewhat inferior (for now) video game system.</p>

    With good reason too. The Wii is absolutely pathetic right now. Worse than the awful PS3 even.</p>

    That sucks. My mom doesn't care what I buy with my money. Problem is, I don't have a job at the moment, so there's no money. I think I'll start looking for a job this weekend, if I'm not too swamped with college apps.</p>

    I agree with you there. Madden's fun though. Brawl being pushed back was really gay.</p>

    But if she even heard be utter "400 dollars" I'd likely have been buffeted around the neck and shoulders.</p>

    Once I start work again, I might look into buying a 360 aswell. Their online is better than the PS3, I dont mind paying $70 a year for XBox Live if it meansa quality online experience. The PS3 online isnt bad, but its lacking downloadable content and shit like XBox live has (for COD3 for example, you can download 5 new levels for online play, but you cant on PS3)
