Sell my Xbox to buy a PS3?

[boundy]

My live has just run out and I need to go and buy a Bluray player so tought I might just sell the Xbox and get a PS3 instead, is it worth the swap?

[recman]

You should never have bought the xbox in the first place!

PS3 is king.

[brooky]

I've had both from launch date, my PS3 is only used for watching blu rays other than that it just collects dust. Xbox is much better

Can get a decent bluray player for around the £50 mark these days, some times cheaper. Personally I wouldn't bother switching, they are meant to be announcing new consoles this year.

Don't buy either. New systems could well be out by the end of the year if you believe the rumours.

But are the new consoles gonna be in the £400+ price range like they normally are?

Keep the xbox. Just keep an eye out for deals and sites offering cheap gold. Ive yet to pay more than £20 for the year for a much superior online service

Never had the issues you describe on a PS3. Except installs, which are useful, I.e. LA Noire is all on one disc on PS3, its on FOUR on the xbox, talk about a ball ache.

Not necessarily, Sony has a wonderful habit of announcing consoles 12 months in advance of release.

Much easier? Oh damn, the labour of reaching forward and pressing a button is too much for me. WOE, WOE IS THE XBOX 360.

I have both. 2 Xbox 360s and 1 PS3

I like both, technically I find the PS3 more useful as the online is free and you can copy movies and mp3s to the hard drive.

Some very good games on the 360 though.

Best graphics goes to Uncharted on the PS3.

Best game hmmmmmm Reach or Uncharted...........

Get a PS3 because literally everything about it is on par or better than a 360. I'd get rid of my 360 because I actually loathe it but I like to play N64 remakes on it from time to time.

Rumour is Sony and MS are both going to make announcements before E3 and then use E3 to show off the launch titles.

Rather than rant about which console is better, I'll offer my personal opinion;

I have both consoles, and much prefer my xbox. My PS3 is a glorified media server and Blu Ray player. In all honesty, it comes down to the controller more than anything. As I have big fat bear paws instead of hands, the PS3 controller feels far too small and flimsy for me.

If a game comes out for both platforms, I'll go for the Xbox version every time. That being said, there are certain PS3 exclusives that are well worth playing, such as the Uncharted games.

As for Xbox Live vs PSN, you definitely get what you pay for. Yes, the PSN is free with the optional PS+ paid subscription, but Live is the far superior online service. You get better connections and the voice chat beats the PSN hands down with cross-game chat if that's your thing.

However, as I'm sure the OP knows, Xbox live is COVERED in adverts, which is a little irritating as I've paid for the service...

It really does boil down to a case of each to their own. OP, if you want to give a PS3 a try, then do it. I'd recommend saving up for it, rather than selling your Xbox to pay for it. You'll get bugger all for it on trade in anyway.

Have fun whatever you decide to do.

Well I've paid my subs for another year and will get one of the new consols when there're released. I did get offered £135 for my Xbox with the games at GAME.

People still bother with Blurays?
