I havent owned a console since the original playstation and miss the simplicity and experience consoles can give i guess. I mainly want to play fallout 3 and new vegas on console to start with (and red dead redemption, heard good things about that game) so basically this thread is xbox 360 vs ps3 and which route i should go. Looking on gamestop i can get 250gb models for around 120 bucks, but gamestop has a deal currently for a 360 slim that comes with 5 games red dead included, but given that i have never used a xbox controller im not sure id dig it.
Xbox: http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/con...-bundle/128647
5 free games
Not sure id like controller
No blu ray player
Gotta pay for online play (not sure id do much online play anyways)
PS3: http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/consoles...rbished/101900
No free games
Free online play
Blu ray player
I am sure id like to play other games as well but to start i just want to replay fallout series and give red dead a shot, so console exclusives dont really figure into the equation for me. I do kinda think those consoles are a bit overpriced but i dont know of any other good options, i dont want to deal with craigslist because id have to drive an hour minimum and ebay does not offer a retail store like gamestop where i could return if i wasnt happy with the condition etc. Other option would be go for an xbox one s for 250 bucks at walmart but the idiots made it white! What were they thinking lol (it would look so out of place in my entertainment center).
One other option would be to go with a 4gb xbox 360 and add a 1tb HDD for 50 bucks putting total at 130, but wouldnt get any of the free games.
