Most games are one player??? Which games are you playing? Try connecting to xbox live.

I know what he means by this - very few Xbox games (or PS3 ones for that matter) have two player options for just one console. Sure, they're both great for online multiplayer, but if there are two of you in the same place and only one Xbox, you're quite limited.

I won't bother correcting the rest of your inaccuracies on the PS3 as it's been covered many times

Cheers guys, I've got an xbox, but am thinking of getting rid of it. A couple of reasons, but in large part as most games are 1 player, or system link for multiplayer which isn't so good when there's two wanting a social gaming experience. I might go see about that console hire thing though, sounds like a good idea.

 

Most games are one player??? Which games are you playing? Try connecting to xbox live.  Xbox 360 is the best console for multiplayer gaming!!

Yes the PS3 has wifi inbuilt, but u can buy the wifi adaptor for the 360 if you really need that. As for exclusives, the PS3 only has Sony made games left as exclusives everything else is now on the 360 or will be coming out on the 360.  Plus the PS3 wont be getting Crackdown 2 and that is going to be amazing with its 16 player feature. 

The only reason anybody would choose a PS3 over a 360 is the blu ray player, but even standalone players are dirt cheap now and better than the PS3.

 

I think he meant games that two people can play on the same console - i.e. in the same room together.

(* Sorry Prof, didn't notice you'd already answered the first point!)

I don't play online much, and play games mostly on my 360 (been playing Fallout 3 for over 2 months now!), but the PS3 is getting MAG, which will feature 256 players online!

Fifa 09, Pro Evo 09, Virtua Tennis, Top Spin, Madden, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, NBA Live 09, PGR 4, Forza 2, Burnout Paradise, Fight Night Round 4, Street Fighter 4, Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger,   Gears of War Local Co-op and Local Versus. Rock Band, Guitar Hero etc etc

The list goes on when it comes to 2 player games on the one console.  Infact there are less games that dont have a 2 player element.

Yes PS3 will have MAG, but 256 players online trying to co operate wont work, even if it does the biggest thing that will let it down is UK broadband.  It cant cope with 16 players let along 256 players. Itl be a lagfest lol
