So now that they have both been out for a bit I'm sure there are some of you who have both if not who have experienced both. What I am wondering is which one to get? Don't want to make the same mistake as last time when I spent my money on the Dream Cast to watch it fade away and then had to spend more money on a PS2 (twice since the first one broke).
First of all price. 360 is much more attractive there coming in at 400 dollars to the 600 dollars for PS3. Though if I want the HD section have to spend the extra 200 which makes the prices even. That could be a future consideration though. Also 360 seems more prepared if the technology its backing is the betamax of the two. While if Blu Ray is the betamax can't get a HD drive for the PS3.
The games I play are pretty much sports games and grand theft auto. PS had an advantage last time since at first they were the only ones to have GTA and then they always had it like a year before everything else. Now GTA 4 is suppose to come out on everything at once. No advantage there. Also EA makes sports games on all systems that come out at once so neither one have an advantage there. Though I really wanted to play Dead Rising which is only on 360 I believe.
So right now what I am looking at is price and which one has better graphics? Any informed opinions please chime in. Also any other considerations like the fact that xbox 360 doesn't have the HDMI output. Also I think 360 only has 4 controls max while PS3 has 8 (like i'm going to be playing with more than myself anyway).
The only other thing I can think of is that Blu Ray holds more data, so possibly could have a game that takes up more space on one of their disks. Though thinking about it probably won't have any game that isn't programmed for both and thus no game would take up that much extra space?
BTW, I have no HD TV and that probably won't be in my poor self plans for a long time.
