360 or wait for PS3?

[John86]

Hey,
I have some money saved up, and I have to decide If I should get the Xbox 360 or wait for the PS3.

Major factors are:


Games
Graphics
Online play


A plus for 360 is Halo, which Ive only played at my friends house, but its awesome, and the new one looks good too. One of my biggest concerns is graphics. Will the PS3 easily surpass 360? Or will they be equal in graphics?

Also, will a xbox 360 HD version run on a regular TV?

Any help appreciated

Thanks,
Hiji

Both the 360 and PS3 are going to rely on HD resolutions. From what I've heard, 360 games look and play poorly when cut down to NTSC resolution.

If you're going to use a regular TV, I say buy the Nintendo Wii. It's the only box for the next gen that's intended for use with an old-fashioned CRT television.

I would strongly reccomend 360, as there just aren't enough compelling exclusive for the PS3 to warrant the extra 200 dollars, and the PS3's graphics are really not that much better, if at all, than the 360's.

Plus, you can use the extra 200 to buy a Wii.

edit: No, 360's don't look bad on NTSC sets, the image just isn't as sharp. Which I guess is true for pretty much everything when it comes to HD.
