    I had a PS3 and then sold it for a X360.

    I now regret it because I want to play Uncharted 2 and the upcoming The Last of Us. The X360 doesn't come close to PS3 exclusives, which have the best graphics of this gen by far.
    Hmmmm

    Uncharted looks good i must admit

    but most of the games i want are available for both consoles.

    The X360 online is good. But really, i think the PS3 online capabilities are more than adequate, especially for the casual online gamer.

    What do you like better: X360 exclusives or PS3 exclusives?? I think that's the real question you have to answer.

    So i am guessing, Halo & Gears of War vs Uncharted, MGS.

    I sold my first Ps3 (mistake I admit) with all my games but bought another one as I missed the Uncharted games and the God of War games, so I bought them all again :)

    this is such a dilemma

    i am not a huge gamer, the only games i wanna play are nba 2k13, fifa 13, call of duty and gta5.

    Thats it

    Then go get an xbox360 with the games u want (You said it was cheaper than getting a Ps3 with the same games) so what's the problem. All ur doing is going round in circles here. You obviously can't afford to nor wish to, get both so get what u want and be happy with it. simple

    Oh for goodness sake, dude, make a decision - you're almost starting to sound rather trollish.

    It really isn't a dilemma, y'know - you only want to play NBA 2K13, FIFA13, COD & GTA5 - X360 is apparently cheapest. JOB DONE, right?

    Is it?

    I heard graphics are better on the xbox 360?


    The graphics on the 360 are generally considered slighty better on most cross platform titles. However in the real world you are incredibly unlikely to notice any different between the 2.

    Have you considered PC? Lots of advantages there... (No NBA though i don't think)

    nah i wasnt

    i am just picky when i buy things especially when they cost £200+.
    I was asking to make sure i picked the right thing. I was thinking that is why forums exist?:rolleyes:

    To say i am trolling because i keep asking questions about the console, and i am not making a decision straight away (since i don't own a console to know which one is the best) is a bit unfair isnt it?

    I am laughing out loud because your response was funny and blunt.

    Your calling me a troll because i can't make my mind up about what console i want to get.

    Is that wrong?

    Saying you're almost starting to sound rather trollish isn't the same as actually calling you a troll, is it? You're now going round in circles, hence my blunt post. Just make a decision. You've had all the advice you need.

    Right OK. Go and choose ur console BUT ur always gonna be wondering if u made the correct choice unless u get both IMO.
    I couldn't choose between them so bought both. No one is telling you that it's easy to choose between them but u have to make the choice u feel is right for U or purchase a PC instead.

    No worries.

    Yeah i agree. I think i am gonna go with the xbox, since it is cheaper and i only plan on playing it occasionally. Don't wanna spend too much money.

    4 games - why bother?

    Try a lot of others, they are MUCH better

    Be careful if you are buying used games as some games such as FIFA 13 require an online pass in addition to and XBOX live subscriptions or PSN accont to allow online multiplayer.

    To throw a spanner in the works have a look at the PSN+ as they have an impressive list of games available to download and to play for free as long as you subscribe to the service.

    If Sony & Microsoft had any sense they would merge and create the next gen X-Station 720.

    Are you serious? Terrible idea.
