okay so here's the deal I have a ps3 and only one game; resistance fall of man. I don't have job so that's why I only have one game and frankly I won't be able to afford anymore unless I get a job. So I was planning on selling my ps3 and buying xbox 360 and modding to you know. Truth is I hate Microsoft and thats why I won't buy any of thier games. So my question is shpuld I wait to either get a job or until you can mod the ps3 or get the 360? All I have been playing is ps3 demos and I have beat them all more than 5 times -----> thats is my dilema

I don't have a job because I'm 13 and buying the ps3 wiped my savings.

Lower your flags and march straight back to England, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do this and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

first of all don't get a 360. My friend had his for 4 months and it broke and I hear that they high chance of braking. I'm currently in the same state as you. only difference is I have 2 games and I'm 14. I'm most likely going to get a job and buy more games once better ones get out. Thats what I'm going to be doing. Just wait a bit cause once the ps3 hits its one year mark they will have more games out.

Xbox's have 30% failure rate while the ps3 has only 1% or 2%

I'm not worried about the ps3 lineup it's affording it that's a problem. The other thing is games like resistance have not gone down in price and I can't get a job for a while.

I'm 13 and I have a job! =D Oh and I think you should keep your PS3 because PS3's are sexier than Xbox360's and they don't brake all the time.

Dont sell the PS3... Save for each game or see if you can get a subscription to a good online game rental... You can atleast rent the game till you beat it, then return it... I wouldnt go with Microsoft..........

I, too, recommend pimping.

Remember, though...You really have to work at it. It's a well-documented fact that Pimpin' Ain't Easy.

zegame we are only joking about stealing peoples money and pimping. These are not right, don't ever do these things.

Become a newspaper boy or something and deliver newspapers to get money. But don't really waste your money on original games they are far too expensive. Waite until you can play back ups.

my point is that the ps3 may never play back ups and I'm not going to sit around an wait for a mod-chip. I have aready sold my PS3 yesterday and bought a 360 instead. Not because I like the 360 but because it is moddable and I won't have to pay for games. Then once I get a job I will get a ps3 again and actually afford buying games. This may dissapoint some of you that I bought a 360 ( I am) but I had to not to miss out on great games like assasins creed and stranglehold.

Just get a job now, I'm sure somewhere will hire you. Just make a resume and say that you work really hard and get good grades, if you do that is. Tim Hortons hired me =P.

too bad you traded it in becuase 360's break really easy and if your gonna mod it you will be voiding the warranty so when it does break your gonna be screwed.

Keep the PS3 I have had my 360 for exactly a year to the day... and on january 14th my 360 died! I still haven't been able to get a working console, I have put 40+ hours into tying to get a new console.... I have been sent 8 new consoles already and all have been Dead on Arrival! Avoid the 360... I have sent letters to the customer affairs office 3 times and haven't received a response I have been hung up by people in the call center a total of 9 times already even when I was being polite! There customer service sucks... I was a very loyal customer, never modded my console to use pirated games, I bought all accessories, I have been a windows user all my life but I have just recently purchased a Mac because I want nothing to do with their products anymore...

Read the rules at the top. That statement you made is just begging for fire.
My 360 has never broken because of rrod or overheating. It only broke because I dropped it, but MS replaced it for free. And it was a LAUNCH console.

The 360 is actually really fun. It's online is the only reason that I play it now since I only have 5 games for it :/ but the online makes them like new.

The last few statements have contributed absolutely nothing, and sound like they were made from a fans point of view.

Yeah I admit the 360 is a good console with lots of cool features, especially online play and there market place is sweet. Plus there is tons of games out for the 360.

zegame, if you're having trouble finding a job, there are other ways you can get paid without actually getting hired somewhere. Just do what I did when I was a kid.

use your lawnmower (or borrow one) and start cutting yards for 20 bucks a pop. It's not all that difficult, unless you come across a picky neighbor who wants their lawn to look like it was cut by Edward scissor hands.

If that's too much work for you, you could always save up all those aluminum cans and recycle them. It's good for the environment and you get paid for it. You won't get much, but something is better than nothing.
