Xbox360 / PS3 - which to choose?

Why isn't this a poll?

Mostly because OP wants reasoned advise and insight that relates to his situation, and not just a console popularity contest which won't tell him anything.

So would the ps3 version use 6 of the SPE's in the Cell Broadband Engine?

Have you got enough memory? If not, is there data that you wouldn't mind deleting for the 360? What console do you prefer? Do you want multiple disks which is likely for the 360?

Me personally I want to get GTA 5 for PS3 but I have just had a YLOD repair and they are only really temporary, so instead of wasting £40 on a PS3 game that I might not be able to play after a week, Ill'l just get it for the 360 which is only about 2 years old unlike my 6 year old PS3.

PS3's all I've got, but my brother has an Xbox 360 so I dunno... I can't help but think that there were exclusive problems for PS3, like the fact that when you're wanted all cars magically vanish, and at any given time you'd never see more than 6-8 different types of cars on the road and loads of the model that you're driving, presumably to save ram by having the same models on.

Any Xboxers that can tell me they had these same problems, pipe up!

Have both, and never noticed the vannishing cars while wanted on either, and yeah, car cloning happens on both.

They don't vanish in front of you, they're just non-existent, so if you're running around looking for a car you can't find one while on wanted.

Its best for all the Xboxers to get used to the PlayStation controller now, so they can be at least mildly proficient by the time they get their PS4.

I can't make the choice for you but I can say both versions will be the same. I bought all last gen GTA games on the PS2, bought GTA IV and the 360 and EFLC. I then bought Max Payne 3, L.A Noire and Red Dead Redemption on the PS3. Honestly they all look great.

 

I'll be buying GTA V on the PS3 for the simple reason my brother has got himself a PS3 and wants to play online with me on this game. The free online and game been on one disk is a added bonus. I'm not worried how the game will look as Red Dead Redemption looked Beautiful and it can only move forward from that. R* have been showing the PS3 version to the press also so this reassures me.

 

I'm quite sure the 360 version will look just as great. GTA IV and EFLC looked good on the 360. V at least will look better than that. Been as you prefer the 360 control pad I'd say go with that so you can enjoy the game more. Either choice would be great though.

Haha true. Did you see the game spot poll? It was something like 88% in favour for the PS4

Haven't seen that yet - that's pretty damn sad, lol. I was expecting around 70/30 at max, not 88/12, lol.

 

I kinda feel bad for the hardcore Xbox fanboys, though. Granted, I can't see why they became Xbox fans in the first place, but nonetheless I'd hate for this to happen to the PlayStation since I love those consoles.

Xbox. I like the controller better for driving. I can install the entire disc, And if its like any previous Rockstar game, it will be excellent on Xbox.

so, this is a genuine question, I'm not looking for this to descend into some pointless fanboy'ism debate...

 

I'm fortunate enough to have both a 360 and a PS3 (along with a reasonable PC) - for GTA5 I have a slight quandary on which version I should choose to get it on, the reason for this is..

 

My 360 is currently in the living room, used by my daughter to jump around to a Kinnect game or two (ooff!) - I have previously preferred the 360, mainly due to I find the controller far more comfy than the PS3's and I have an Xbox live gold account. However, I rarely use it now since it's been commandeered, and when I do power it up it's deafening drive whir and lack of drive capacity (it's a surviving 20gb unit) starts to show it's age. I originally played GTA4, RDR and countless other games on it, it's been a trusty workhorse. But, I cant see me playing GTA5 in the living room with wife and daughter watching, not really conducive to family life!

 

So, my PS3 (and PC) are in my bolt hole of an office, the PS3 has really not been used to it's full potential, partly because I preferred the 360, however, I have enjoyed the Uncharted series and a couple of others on it, I'm looking forward to getting The Last Of Us and will therefore be giving it a bit of use again soon (other than a BD player) - I would automatically choose the PS3 for GTA5 were it not for the controller and, from what I have read, RDR on the PS3 ran at 640p (as opposed to 720p on the 360). I have heard that MP3 ran at 720p on the PS3 - do you guys believe (the PS3 buffs) that GTA5 will also be scaled to 720p? I have no experience of what GTA4, or the expansions were like on the PS3 as I only had them on the 360 (and later on the PC)

 

Anyway, interested in your thoughts and suggestions (constructive ones please!)

PS3 because it's simple better biggrin.gif

I know right, I never thought it would be that extreme! Oh well, it will be better verity of player online.

 

Lol, I felt a bit sorry for them as well.

I haven't experienced any lag while playing it.....

 

Why don't people who ask these questions just go to retailers and have them give them their opinions, rather than coming here asking?

 

80% of the time you're not going to get an honest/logical opinion on these forums.....

2-There are many tourists who roam in the mountainous areas near the river, while there is another group you are playing catch.

 

-The game suffers from minor problems on some platforms because of its limited capacity while there are many cars on the streets. (XBOX 360 issue)

I would be playing most games on a ps3 but i just cannot get used to that controller. I hate it. I much prefer the 360 controller. I seriously hope the ps4 controller has a better design. This time around it will be bought for the 360.

There was nothing wrong with the PS3 version of GTA IV and RDR, they were more or less identical to the 360 versions, I saw both versions of these games. Don't listen to all those bullsh*t lies.

FFS dude...

Just because you say it looks identical, doesn't make it true. There are differences, and the Ps3 version does run at a lower resolution.

 

If I say that the Ps3 BF3 looks better than the PC BF3, does that make it true?

No disrespect, but you aint gonna make me change my mind. I've seen both versions and that is my final verdict. In fact, I even personally prefer the look of the PS3 versions of GTA IV and RDR, even if you told me the 360 versions were 5080p and it were true.

 

Both games are kinda old now, no point in getting worked up over games that have long been released years ago. So just give it rest and respect my right to a personal opinion, even if you don't agree with it.

I'm not trying to change your mind. If you think one version looks better than the other, that's all you.

 

I was just addressing your thinking that the lower resolution is "lies", not your opinion on which looks better.

It's what you prefer. Both ports will be the same, so it basically depends on your favorite controller. I'm going with Xbox.

You should go for the ps3 version if your daughter likes to play Kinect. Even if you're gonna be playing it in a cave, it's a lot better than having to pause every X hours because your daughter wants to play or beause your wife thinks the kids shouldn't be seeing it.
