Which console has the better games? If I buy an xbox 360, I most likely won't play online because you have to pay extra. I also heard that the xbox 360 has a bunch of problems and always gets screwed up. But it has Ninja Gaiden, Fable, Gears of War, and Halo. ./redringofdeath. e__e If I buy a ps3, I'll get free online play. It hardly has problems, but I'm not familiar with the games. I also heard it has HD and plays blue ray. This console is probably better for the long run. It's also $100 moar expensive than the 360 core, but I may decide to buy the ps3 if you guys convince me that online play is incredibly fun.

360, trust me. I have both systems, and 360 is muuuuuch better. I never even got the RRoD, and I've had it since it came out.

Depends what kind of games you like. Mostly 360's then probably go for 360. If you like PS3's games, go for the PS3. They both have their problems but 360 has a better chance of getting it. 360 has Red Ring of Death and PS3 has Yellow Light of Death. Yellow Light isn't really common so you probably won't get it. 360 is cheaper to repair if it breaks and you could always get warranty. As long as you don't go all hardcore on it, you probably won't break it. I have the old one that's more prone to RROD and I haven't even gotten it yet.

Is playing alone more fun than playing online with the ps3?

360 has Jasper cooling chips now which make your 360 have way less chance of RRoD. Get 360 pl0x. I have both okay so don't tell me im bias because i love my 360 way more.

Multi platform games are usually the best anyways; sport games, cod etc. But go with PS3 because you get MGS (intensely epic especially if you've played the previous) and KillZone which are epic. Most 360 games in my opinion are similar to the exclusive 360 games anyways.

xbox, you may have to pay for it, but the online is much better also ps3 does not have many exclusives games any more but the xbox still has plenty

Not sure if that's permanent price or just a sale but if you're not going to play online, I'd probably say go for PS3 unless there are barely any games you want on it. I just think it's better to play with others online than to play alone unless the online is complete crap that you don't want.
