The Bender Podcast - Buying a PS3 or Xbox 360 ..hmmm..

PacoDG | July 12, 2009 | Podcast | PC Playstation 2 Company Misc

A great episode of The Bender awaits you. James will be buying a new system soon (he has had both a PS3 and Xbox 360, both have broke on him in the past). I ended up trying to show James the benefits of the Xbox 360, while Perry attempts to do the same for the PS3, and Allison swoops into talk about the Wii, but ends up saying pros/cons of the 360 and PS3. Plus we cover game news and the such. Enjoy!

Easy Answer!:
Buy the console with the games you enjoy the most. If you like both, then save up and buy both. Otherwise buy the one with the games you enjoy.

Don't give in to the "War." YOU are the winner, if you simply buy based on the games YOU like.

  James had both systems at one time, he will eventually be buying both (plus the Wii too, so he claims), but right now, he can only go with one.
  
  For the average person though, buying both systems is not really a feasible option (when you think about how many games you can buy instead of getting a whole other system).

    Yeah I meant to put that in there too, about if you don't have the money. I was going to put that right after the second sentence, but I didn't. That's alright though, you covered it.
    
    Still, buy the one with the games you enjoy most.

What about a Radeon HD4850 ? It can run any game in VERY HIGH and cost less thant a 100 $. Exclusive games is the best reason to get a console right now ...
