Should I trade Xbox360 Elite for PS3 40gig

Flaccus

Have had my Elite since Halo3, but now since the PS3 has dropped to 400 euro, Gamestop are trading elites for 350 euro, and BD movies are widely available in the retail and rental market I am considering moving back to a PS3. The benefits besides blueray I guess are less noise and more reliability compared to my 360 which everytime I turn on am expecting the rrod.

This brings me to games. Though people keep telling me the PS3 has a poor selection, it seems all the games I play or have owned on the 360 are nearly all available on PS3. And both consoles have their exclusives. However last time I checked the PS3 ports are not usually as good (R5 Vegas springs to mind). Has this changed now. Are the PS3 ports of COD4, Assasins Creed, GRAW2 etc.. as good as the 360 counterpart.

Also, any news on when divx support will be available ?

thanks

COD4 is almost identical on both as is Assassins creed.

Developers are getting better at working with the PS3 hardware. I would say most multi platform games will be pretty much the same from now on.

whiterebel

As developers get better with the power of the PS3 I expect to see some really awesome titles coming up. Gran Turismo 5 demo from the Japanese network is absolutely incredible to look at and play. My wife walked in the other night and wondered if it was Top Gear.......

At the moment tho, HD-DVD's selection kicks blu-rays ass. I've gone a bit to the dark side because of it.

I wouldn't personally. As for DivX, both consoles support it as of this moment afaik. PS3 has a poor exclusive selection. I don't care about what is going to come out on it, I could die tomorrow, so MGS4 and FFXIII mean balls all at the moment! I would stick with the elite and buy a PS3 later down the line! Also, has your elite RROD'd already, because if it hasn't then why the worry?

super_furry

Can't see why you'd want to. The 360 has the better exclusive line-up, while the vast majority of games released on both consoles are superior on the 360.

Helix

definitely hold onto the 360 for the forseeable future anyway, might be worth considering in a years time tho

It does? Any of the online stores sendit, play etc seem evenly matched, and Xtravision/Blockbuster seem to be BR only as far as I can see. Haven't been into HMV or Virgin for a while, though.

Not to mention that BR Disc sales are miles ahead of HDDVD sales.

Seeing as I don't have a HDDVD drive and the PS3 performs much quieter though, it's still very tempting. Has the PS3 got Divx support now ?

Any idea when GT HD is due over here ?

GT HD is scrapped - GT 5 will be the only release, as far as I know.

"Remember that Sony recently scrapped plans to continue production of the full game, instead turning their sights to Gran Turismo 5, which should be the true sequel to GT4. This obviously has a long way to go until we're able to see anything of it though. Rest assured we'll have our GT5 site set up well in time for all the news, information and media we'll be receiving." Dated 26/2/07

Sorry to be pedantic.....:D

I know exactly where youre coming from.A couple of months ago i traded in my 360 premium for a ps3 60gb, soon after it dropped to 500euro,As much as i found the ps3 to be amazing, it was completely different to the 360.So last friday i bought myself a new 360 premium.One with hdmi.And the great thing was that i actually made a profit.I traded in my original 360 for 260euro at gamestop.The new one i bought cost 360euro, but i got an extra wireless and two games with it free so it cost me nothing.So my advice is to get both, then you'll never be disappointed when a new game is released.Then you wont have to buy another console for about 6 years which i expect to be the life of the two of them

Don't forget the controller.

I personally find the PS controllers awful for most games. Their d pad is better but I don't use the d pad for many games these days

fps on a PS controller just feels wrong. The gamecube controller setup feels so nice, pity about the button layout it went for

Blazer

Stick with the Elite...way better games selection as well as better online play.
As for Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD apparently over the weekend they decided to be all nice to each and let films come out in both formats until one dominates which isn't going to happen.
I'm seeing better selection of HD-DVD films especially on ebay where it's much bigger in the US and since HD is region free they all work fine.

meanpeoplesuck

Has anybody got up to date lists comparing the exclusive titles on/coming to the 360 and PS3? Any I can find are always from like May.

Not yet, hopefully with the next firmware update, but people have been hoping for in-game messaging for the last year too and it still doesn't look like it's coming. If you're playing a game on the PS3 and someone sends you a message you get a notification in the top right of the screen, but the only way to read that message is to quit the game. Total pain in the ass and can't believe they haven't sorted it yet. Surely if it can tell that you received a message it shouldn't take much more effort to actually open the message while the game is running. I dunno. I hope they do something about it sooner rather than later.

Flaccus

I have listed out what I see are the pros and cons of each below. But when it comes to games out right now, the 360 is thought of as having a better selection and more exclusives. The only exclusives I am interested in on the 360 are gow,pgr4,mass effect and halo3, 3 of 4 which I have completed, while the ps3 has resistance,ratchet and klank, and uncharted. Pretty much everything else is common to both. So I think both consoles are evenly matched game wise at least for games I play. Still not sure what to do. The general consensus is to keep the 360 or buy both which I don't really want to do to be honest.

360 Pros
region free HDDVD
ingame messaging
messenger support
divx support
downloadable movies (since last night I see)

360 Cons
noisy to very noisy
requires you to buy a HDDVD drive, messy 2 box solution
Noone rents out HDDVD

PS3 Pros
Build in blueray
Very quiet
Can take a drive of any size
Built in wireless and gamepad recharging

PS3 Cons
Online not as good yet but I generally don't play online much
Online content as good ?? (demos, arcade games etc..)
No PS2 support anymore, so I guess I won't be playing Wipeout 2097, Rage Racer etc..
Divx support and ingame messaging not there yet

Helix

Flaccus, resistance is awful

steviec

Resistance is indeed awful.

However, in addition to what Flaccus listed the PS3 also has Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Warhawk, Motorstorm and F1CE which are all excellent exclusives from a variety of genres. The 360 doesn't have many worthwhile exclusives beyond what he's already played.

whiterebel

Resistance is far from awful. I really enjoyed it, it looks ace and plays well for a non-hardcore gamer like myself. ign and gamespot scored it pretty well at 9.1 and 8.6 respectively, and they haven't put me too far wrong yet.

tman

Resistance isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, but it's far from a killer app for me (I couldn't even be bothered finishing it tbh)
I'd say hang on to the elite for another 6-12 months, the PS3 is still nowhere near being an essential purchase.

Shouldn't be - Mine's really quiet as well. Have you got it in a relatively open space? They do say in the manual to keep it well ventilated.

Well, it's awful if your bored to death of generic FPS games. I would say Halo 3 is equally awful.

I'm miffed with MS, their incompetence and the 360's absolutely appalling build quality.

So I've been loitering around PS3 demo stalls. I'd a PS1 back in the day but I find the PS series controllers truly awful. But anyway, I digress.

I've been weighing up in my head whether it might be worth a Christmas splurge on a PS3.

And I've stood there staring at the PS3 selection of games and thought... meh. Where's the 'ball grabber'. The 'Headline titles' for the system that I've played like Motorstorm are very very poor. Resistance was mediocre. Not into sports games.

I just found out that the one sweat inducing game, Unreal Tournament, has been delayed till 2008 (and will be available on the 360 soon enough). Killzone and LittleBigPlanet seem a long way off.

I can certainly say, that removing PS2 compatibility is a major minus for me. The chance to play God of War etc. would have been a definite mover and 'sated' me.

So I could spend the money. But I see little to convince me that I it wouldn't be sitting in the corner gathering dust when the 360 returns and I get stuck into Mass Effect. True, the 360 will probably break again. But 500 quid is allot to be paying for a stand in.

Please feel free to disagree and convince me otherwise! I just don't think, as has been pointed out here, that the PS3 (as a games console) has very much to offer. Yet. Possibly.

Flaccus

I see UT3 is less then 55 euro from VG+. How long to ship ?
Can get it for about a tenner more on ebay.

My last order arrived 3 to 4 working days. Busy shipping period this time of the month though

Back on topic, I would say if you have the 360 hold onto it for another year. The PS3 doesn't offer anything right now that would make you want to buy one just for that exclusive game. Personally I chose the PS3 over the 360 as it was going to be a longterm investment for me. I won't be getting another one for a good few years but it still has some catching up to do to match Microsofts Xbox live and more variety of games but they're on the way.

Flaccus

Yeah..I agree.
Think I will keep the Eite, considering the disgraceful trade in prices some places are offering on 360 games.

Might treat myself and get the 360 HD Drive:)

savemejebus

I think you'd be better off picking up a standalone HD-DVD player if want to go high def. The xbox add on has pretty crappy sound from everything I've read. Couple that with the noise of the console itself and it's not too nice a thought.

Could also be worth waiting a few weeks to see what warner do after xmas. If HD-DVD sales don't pick up it's likely warner will go Blu-Ray and that would be all she wrote for the format war.

...because no one will buy pro evo 6. also to discourage you from trading it in because, well all it does is clog their system up because they'll have 4,000 copies of the thing.

you may not see it as fair, but you don't have to trade it in, and it's not like the trading system helps the games industry at all. it only benefits some consumers (most still only buy new games) and keeps the retailers happy

Flaccus

Yeah...but 20-25 euro for Assasins Creed is taking the piss when they charge 75 for it, and xtra vision will give you 40ish. I asked tonight about a few games like PGR4, Halo3, Bioshock and got prices from 15 to 25 max. And bioshock is the same price 2nd hand there as it is new in most stores. Same with hardware, they resell the 360 wifi adaptor for 60-70 2nd hand and give you 15 euro for it. Gamestop are notorious ripoff merchants. COD4 was the biggest rip ever. When I inquired about high prices they said it balances out as their Hurling game is cheaper then Virgin's!!. I suppose selling privately is the best bet always.

Zonda999

Their prices on software are terrible but there not too bad if you want to trade in a console(or one thats f**ked). e.g I've heard stories of people trading in in 360's with RROD and not even testing them.They give you 260euro for a 360 premium which aint too shabby

Getaway 3, SOCOM and MGS 4 are all games id buy the PS3 just to have!!.... cant wait to get my hands on them..especially the getaway

one thing thats pissed me off about the PS3 is the games selection, why wasnt there any decent games made for the first 2yrs?, i think Sony should have been on to developers to get things ready to come out for 2007, everything seems to be feb 2008+.

there are so many games you can get for the 360... having said that there mightnt be any major ones out for that either, they still got out Halo this year which seems to draw the same levels GTA does.

also was has MOH airbourne been available on 360 for a while yet only out on PS3 this week?.... that kind of things shouldnt be happening!

As for the OP, if did not have an xbox then I think there is nothing wrong with the PS3 and it certainly is a good price, but to trade one in for a PS3 im not too sure if this is a good idea unless there is a few games which you really want that are only available on PS3.

As for games that are on both platforms, Eurogamer do a face off between PS3 and 360 for the different games, it seems they are about the same at the moment however this was not the case in previous rounds

Unless you mean actual film releases? like bourne and tranformers not coming to bluray!!!

The_Chopper

IMO bluray will win out for a couple of reasons;
1. Sony are promoting Blu-Ray and all their home systems will have it
2. Panasonic are promoting Blu-Ray over HD-DVD
3. Dell are promoting Blu-Ray and are now putting them into their machines as standard
4. Blu-Ray is just better

Flaccus

Dell are not putting BD drives in as standard. You pay thru the nose for it. And "BluRay is just better" How ?

Film releases, check out online, there's more HD-dvd titles than blu-ray(good titles), personally i'd prefer blu-ray.

Flaccus

I'm just going to buy the 360 HD DVD drive as there are indeed lots of titles on it I want to own. Looking at comments from around this summer on AVforums there is an autoupdate for the HD Drive which fixes synch, dropout, and sound quality issues due to the drive needing to downsample the TrueHD audio to Dolby Digital 5.1. Not having this new fangled audio doesn't bother me as I would need a new amp anyway.

Port doesn't seem to have gone well for Sony and Valve themselves seem to slated the PS3.

the 360 architecture resembles the PC right off the bat so it's handy for valve to port. for the ps3 they fobbed it off to EA in the UK to sort out.

it's worth noting that gabe has openly bashed the ps3 and 360 in the past anyway. he praised the wii, but hasn't said he'll make a game for it. money where your mouth is, fatboy, etc.

Flaccus

Well I bought it for the 360 played it, finished it. They graphics are actually slightly improved in the original HL2, not surprising considering it's a 3 or 4 year old PC game now. No where did I notice slowdown, any problem with framerates or tearing. It was the best 25 hours of gameplay I ever had.

Ballboy

I havnt got either yet but Im getting one of them soon..
Heres the deals I can get.

xbox360, controller and 4 games. 400euro
or
Ps3, controller and 2 games. 420euro

What do you think?? or is there better deals??
