PS3 is cooler but I kinda want a 360, they seem fun. Live seems pretty good, aside from the majority being retarded 12 year olds and the $60 fee akudood;
I also want the original Xbox for a few games.
Would you recommend I buy an Xbox 360 eventually? You're all welcome to help with the payment.
Not if you already have a PS3. Is there anything you can't do on a 360 that can't be done on a PS3? I'm pretty sure the PS3 does all the 360 does but better (except maybe online).
No.

The Xbox 360 has lost pretty much any advantage that it once had over the PlayStation 3. So, no.
A year ago I would have said yes.
But now if you already have a PS3 I say no.

DECISION CHANGED
since when did a large majority of boyah own a ps3 over a 360? I'm slightly disappointed.
The choice should be made down to whatever your friends have, your irl ones that is. The majority of mine own a 360, therefore I own a 360. Plus, I play Street Fighter competitively and the PS3 has a 4 frame delay input which is fucking retarded. ;~;
have fun with new vegas if you buy it for ps3, I've heard some "fantastic" things about that port.
I'm pretty sure most people here still have Xbox 360s.
And I couldn't classify New Vegas as a 'port', it's just developers using an already buggy engine for a third time. doodhuh;

New Vegas is supposed to be fucked up on every system, the PS3's isn't any different. Yes Fallout 3 was screwy, but I've heard that's been largely fixed. As for the question of which is more popular for my friends:

Correct me to tell my friend he's a lying cunt if I'm wrong but; Is it true the PS3 version's first guy you encounter in the game's head spins round when you talk to him? I've heard a lot about this glitch, proving that they didn't test shit on the port and just pushed it out, I find it very hard to believe though and I would like video proof if anyone can provide?

that's not guaranteed to happen, it's a random occurrence that also happens on 360 and PC. Just look at cmongler's videos of the graphical glitches that happen on his 360 copy.

Ah, I wouldn't know off hand - I'm not a fallout fan nor am I subbed to anyone who's playing the game currently or subbed to Cmongler - I'll check it out later though.
Still, that's a pretty weird bug, you'd think with testing a game the amount of times it should be tested before release (several hundred times at least.) they would have seen it once and would try to figure out what did it...
Then again, Fable III was buggy as fuck too and they claimed to do extensive testing to remove the bugs that were present in the second one, but somehow ended up creating more in the progress... (infinite falling, not able to leave the sanctuary, invisible walls where there shouldn't be, statistics for achievements resetting making it impossible to get some achievements unless you re-start the entire story.) so I guess that one bug in New Vegas isn't that bad after all...
buggy on all systems or not, fallout 3 is widely recognized to be buggiest on the ps3, and i wouldn't doubt that new vegas is the same
regardless, it's not like it would be unplayable or something

why is the 4GB pointless? Do the games take up a lot of memory? The only way I can see that room being taken up is through downloads, which I don't really need.
But still, I guess I'll just get another PS3 when I can.

well, if you had both the ps3 and the 360, chances are you'd run across games somewhere down the line that you choose to get on the 360 instead, and then those often have DLC, and then there's live arcade games, and...all things considered it's really just a safer bet to get one with a bigger hard drive.
what you should really do here is find out of this damn ps3 is actually going to be yours, though

Not really. Communicating on PSN is annoying as shit unless it's sending messages back and forth to each other. The sheer fact that I can mute whoever I want, ignore whoever I want and it never puts me in a match with those people again when I'm searching for a quick match is way better than listening to screaming 13 year olds without an option to mute them.
E.G: On XBOX all I do is hit the guide button, go to the recently played people, go into their profile, hit mute. (If it's a 13 year old.) if it's someone who's cheating/hacking navigate down, submit player review, Avoid this Player. (Done, I won't ever end up in a match with him on any game on a random search unless he enters a lobby I'm currently in via someone else, even then, I can't hear him if I muted him.)
On PSN some games don't even have a mute feature, as far as I know, because it's not attached to their bloody profile, it's attached to the game specifically... Example: Playing Transformers: War for Cybertron, 13 year old kid comes on screaming like a fucking banshee and there's no option to mute him in the game, or on his profile... Result?? Nothing, I need to listen to the brat or leave the game and rage quit because of him.
If I recall (Correct me if I'm wrong.) but multiple people chat is only available in game when you're on PSN... so if I want to talk to multiple people at once, we all need to be playing the game game, in the same room, at the same time? That's pretty lame...
Little minor things that cause way less bother to me is why I don't mind paying the charge for XBL.
The 360, in terms of communication with friends is a lot better than the PS3 still, pretty much everyone who's really used the 360's friends features will agree. Party Chat is still pretty much the best option on the table when it comes to the talking aspect of the consoles.
The Playstation does has superior hardware, but it's never really been pushed to it's limit, ever. No fuck's even sure if it ever will be pushed to it's limit in it's lifespan.
That's only fuck feature as well... There's a few others I like about XBL over PSN. As a Single Player console PSN is better, but as a multiplayer console the 360 is better, on most parts.

International rating systems are different to American ones.
Universal Ratings: 12+, (12), 15, 16+, (18)
American Ratings: E, T, M
Rated T here means jack shit really. Take into consideration that most UK people don't play Americans because of the latency being horrible as shit, so E, T and M means jack shit really to people who are from Europe, most games when they search for opponents never show Americans due to the latency. I was stating the Universal Rating System, or rather PEGI as they call it now.

Where do you get the idea that it's the "Universal" system? It's used for Europe. Unless that was its name at one point, which I can't seem to find any evidence of.
Still, this "argument" is beginning to get too far from its original point.
It's always been PEGI. confuseddood;
And it really isn't all that unversial seeing as both Finland and Portugal have special ratings, and Germany usually overrides it with its USK system.

It's normally regarded as the universal system when it comes to movies and such. If anything, your argument in the original stand point was nothing but poking at a word I used, that isn't an argument, just nitpicking.

It hasn't always been PEGI either for the UK. It was once called the ELSPA some games prior 2003 have these ratings. fuck off the top of my head I know has this style of rating is Smash Bros. Melee. We adopted the PEGI system in the past few years at some point. Most of my PS2 games have ELSPA too. Check the box via google or something.

Regardless if it is or not, it is referred to as the universal system. If it's referred to as fuck, it doesn't actually have to be fuck. It's what it's called when refereed to by any form of digital media outlet, a majority of people say Universal Rating over PEGI. I'm practically running round in circles repeating myself, so that's the explanation you're left with.
The only logical thing I can think to as why it is refereed to as the Universal Rating is because it covers the majority of the word whilst ESRB only covers America (And possibly Australia? I'm not sure actually if they use PEGI or ESRB as they're in the PAL District, but it's more than possible that they do use ESRB. I have no clue what Japan use or I would state that for Asia too.) but almost all of Europe uses PEGI, as far as I know.
