Xbox 360 has other good games too,

- Dead Rising

- Tales of Vesperia

and a few decent PC ports.

if you don’t mind all your games having this consistent humming noise in the background from the system it self and the fear of getting the infamous RRoD, definitely worth getting.

The PS3 has been $399 at our Wal-Mart for months and months. I have been watching the price closely debating on getting that or a Blu-Ray player.

Yeah FPS with a controller can be hard at first. You’re always going to be more accurate with a mouse, but it isn’t so bad once you adjust. It’s nice to be able to play some death match whilst sitting on a comfy couch.

Here’s some online game recommendations:

-Fable 2 (you can play co-op with a friend in their world or your own)

-Gears of War 1&2 (I know this is sort of FPS (well its a 3d person shooter), but it is one of the best co-op experiences I’ve ever had).

-Grand Theft Auto IV – Another 3D person shooter, some very fun play modes such as cops and robbers.

-Soul Caliber 4 – You did a post about this not too long ago?

-Street Fighter 2 HD Remix – This is street fighter 2 hyper edition reskinned for HD.
It looks great and has some new play modes.

-Puzzle Quest – A down-loadable game. It’s a bejeweled like game thats also a RPG. Very Addictive!

I could go on more but I think that’s enough for now.

@ate issai
hmm.. I think Netflix is US only but I haven’t tried.. I buy DVDs though so I don’t think it’s gonna be a big loss. On L4D, I’m going on it via Steam. Need to upgrade my rig soon for SC II ^__^. On the PS3, thanks. Well, when I decide to get a PS3 I’ll do a post (unlike when I got a Wii… too ashamed to post it since it’s PINK =’( )

@Aaron
hmm.. I’m looking for online play as well but I’m kinda biased against on going FPS with a controller (too much mouse lovin’ apparently), any recommendations on what games w/ multiplay that’s not FPS?

i don't know much about xbox 360. about their Live, I'm not sure, but if Netflix works in the Philippines, that would be pretty sweet to have live + netflix. but if you like zombie killin fun, left 4 dead, definitely play with friends. if you later decide to get a ps3, i have some games that i'm done with or probably never play again. i can lend them to you. issai´s last entry was: In cavy heaven

I’d go for the 360, it has a better range of games, the interface(menu) a pleasure to look at and online gaming is way ahead of the ps3.

Plus you can play some stuff online with me.

@ate issai
thanks for the tip.
Guess I’ll be getting a 360. Any recommendations (aside from getting a Jasper since that’s a dead give away) on what to get with it (like Live subscription, etc)?

im also trying photoblogging. noone's buying stuff now, they had to drop it. don't get ps3 yet, no new good games. if you want good games, go pc. i don't know if they're going to release more games on the ps3 especially with the economic downturn. issai´s last entry was: In cavy heaven
