This road should end by saturday night or in sunday day 1, because it's a little after my B-day (30 december), and I hope at the end to have 296 euros at least so I can buy all this good stuff and start playing MW3

Thanks for your time guys.

good luck man definitely going for the best console other than the PC of course

My attempts to get you to play PS3 have failed; noes!Jk, good luck mate, a nice lot of money to get.

[David]

Good luck man. Interesting idea for a thread by the way.

[FunnyPirate]

Ferg I will explain why I wont get the PS3.1st: Xbox 360 is better for multiplayer and thats what Im most interested about MW3.2nd: here in the close stores that I have around, PS3 + MW3 is more expensive than xbox360 + MW3 and even + xbox live membership, wich is a big thing, because Is ave like 20 euros and I can still play better online ;)PS3 + MW3 »» 320 eurosX 360 + MW3 + Live membership »» 295.98 eurosSo I'll go for Xbox

[David]

Xbox is probably better if you're just interested in playing shooters and gaming. The Playstation 3 is known more for its exclusive titles and having the capability of being a "media center". I have a decent media set-up, and the capabilities of the PS3 far outdo those of the 360 when it comes to integrating with other types of media and hardware (AV receiver, blu-ray for example). 80% of gamers have no need or recognition of this though. You should just choose on what you need, and you're probably correct that the 360 is a good choice for your needs.

[Brad]

to be fair the 360 has picked up in media with 4od, lovefilm and all others all integrated ;)but the reason the PS3 is more is because you dont pay a subscription for the online play and it has a Blue-Ray ;)but there is a reason you pay for the Online play because xbox players are genuinely better players, no offence to anyone but its true

[Fergal]

Really? 360 costs more here, or at least it did when I first for my PS3. But I get free PS3 games from my brother who works for Sony and my friends all have PS3s, so I'm happy. xD

PC RULEZ ALL!!!!!

In total xbox + game + subscription still more cheap so I chose that 1, and every christmas I get decent money to renew the 1 year subscription so it's fine for me and I play better online than in PS3...

[David]

I don't get all the hate for PS3's online. I can't imagine having to pay extra just to use a feature that's already pre-installed on the hardware. It's like paying for access to the internet when you already have the connection. When people claim it's "better" I can only assume they mean people are banned more frequently since that's the only difference (360 has more support). The players aren't worse, either, if anything there are less 12 year olds shouting poorly thought-out obsenities at you during CoD (there are still a lot, though...).

Updated!!

Well guys later on today or tomorrow I will ask someone to delete this topic.As today is the 31 of december there were some massive price changes in the store I was going to buy this prooduct and there isn't currently other store with lower price and the price got up and alot, the total before were 296 euros and now is at 335 euros wich Im 90 euros away from so it doesnt worth, still buy PS3 is as expensive so no deal, I will stick to PS2 or buy new PC...

[Fergal]

You cannot survive on PS2. No online, crappy games. I'd go for buy a new PC if anything.

[David]

Just keep saving... the prices will change dozens of times before you have enough anyway, it will come down again. Plus I'm sure it's even cheaper online.
