Both got great games , if he plans to play online and his friends got a ps3 then get a ps3 if they got a xbox then get a xbox.

IMO both deliver great games and its only the exclusives thats in the way thats why I got both systems.

If he wants 360 exclusives get a 360, and if PS3 ones get a PS3. Pretty simple decision when there is no modding consideration.

Good god, he'd just give the 360 to an imbecile friend who'd fuck that thing up Laughing
And I think that most of his friends have a ps3... At least I'd assume that.

I'll tell him to get a ps3 then... I think the exclusives on that one are "more" exclusive :>

The only question is whether he'll flash it or not.

If he's planning on buying games, I'd go with a PS3 for the BR player.

Same as above, Would go for PS3. Bought 360 only because I couldn't afford ps3 + buying games.Would love ps3 because of the free online service and some awesome exclusives it has.

There is going to be a premium service for Playstation next year(EDIT: current online services will still be free). I also heard a rumour that games will be available to rent.. will be awesome if it's true.

To the OP question. I think it simply comes down to the exclusives on either console and which games he would prefer playing.

^^ wut? you can't rent PS3 games? sure I haven't been in a blockbuster for a good 4-5 years but that's pretty fucked.

Also, who really gives a fuck about exclusives. You should be able to find more than enough to play on either system.

Like other have said, it comes down to if he wants to play backups. If not, then look at the exclusives on each like Glottis said. PS3 does have some pretty awesome titles out now, and more coming Razz

Oh and my vote is xbox because yea you can flash it. People here who have an xbox, we have so many games we dont even know what to do with them. I ran out of cases a long time ago and started storing games in spindles. Spindles filled with games that I never beat because there are too many

On the other hand with a PS3 at least you wont be overwhelmed with massive amount of games which could be a good thing Laughing

that is SO true!!! i used to print off all the covers and put them in a case....but after 30 or so i couldnt be arsed and now i just write on the discs and store them in clear sleeves. sloppy really, but there are just too many games.

and the other point is correct too - when you have too many backups, very few of them get played as thoroughly and enjoyably as they should. and a few hardly at all.

still - shouldnt complain, better than owning a ps3 and having to buy them all!!

yeah, I'll admit I probably spend more time downloading/burning/cataloging games than actually playing them Razz
