Here's two lists of both systems games, as well as which games are exclusive.

Amen to that, the console wars are freaking retarded.
Now I do hate to take sides and say one thing is better than the other but I would advise you to get a PS3, it may cost you more than an XBox and the internet stuff is currently infirieror to that of the 360. But you do get a B ray player plus steam is coming to the PS3, which will improve the internet offering and content greately. And Valve games will now be released on the PS3 too and according to Valve the PS versions will be the best console versions.

I really have no idea how that's going to work. PS3 already has a friend's list feature, and the PlayStation Store. Steam doesn't have anything that the PS3 and 360 don't already have.

The only two Valve games that aren't on PS3 are the Left 4 Dead games. And, as a rule, all console versions of Valve games are inferior to their PC versions. (TF2 specifically)

Especially on Arcade exclusives. PS3 doesn't have Ikaruga, and it won't have Radiant Silvergun. Both games fetch a huge price on the secondary market (Radiant Silvergun goes for $200 used), but cost like $10 (RS isn't out so that's just a guess).Prime Riblet wrote:Here is something I have been pondering as well...Buying a PS2.

Hell no it's not a waste of money. The PS2 is a damn fine gaming console. Also as others have said modern PS3s aren't backwards compatible. Also for about $20-$30 you can buy a mod kit with a swap disc and set it up to run imports. I did and I got four or five Japanese games because they were never released here. But if that's not your thing there are literally dozens and dozens of awesome games for PS2 and PS1 (PS2 games are all backwards compatible with PS1 discs).
If you want another gaming system that you'll fall in love with try and find a good second hand SNES or Dreamcast and some games for each. They're two of my personal favorite systems. Both should be $70 or less. You can sometimes find Dreamcasts for under $50 and I think you can snag SNESes for around that too.

Stop laughing at you? Who was gonna laugh at you in the first place?! The Wii is awesome!
I'd recommend a PS3 instead of a PS2, because most PS2 games work on the PS3, and some games are even being re-released on the PS3.

He's right. The Wii is awesome. Cheap, low learning curve, small library but with a lot of gems (SSB Brawl, Metroid Prime Trilogy) backwards compatible with ALL Gamecube games (It didn't remove that ability or limit which games are compatible) and it doesn't feel the need to blatantly rip off it's opponents.
That's right, Sony. Dodge it all you want, we all know the Move is a shameless Wii ripoff.
