OK, which new balla gaming system should I end up getting?

[Daliman]

Well, I'm finally going to break down and just buy a nice game system instead of a new computer, since all I'd really need a computer for is for newer, better games. I know that the style of games is mostly different from console to computer, but there is enough crossover and other console game I am interested in that I think I'd like a console fine. Seems my main options are the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3,(I don't want an old system.) I've done some of my own reasearch, but am looking for pros, cons, and insight from people who have hands-on experience with their predecessors, or any other sytems maybe i should consider. First off, Let's go over some of my PC gaming choices.

-I like role-playing type games.
-I like GTA
-I like Half-Life, but not Halo when I played it.
-Shooters in general are hit or miss with me.
-Big surprise, but I'd like to see what one of those karaoke games are all about. DDR too,( my fat ass could use the excercise) and I think my wife may enjoy those too.
-Playing online not necessarily a premium for me. All I do when I play shooters online is pump up my opponents kill rates.
- I like D&D types games, if done well.

Any/all insight appreciated.

I doubt that either one will be especially strong with respect to RPGs and D&D-like games (Given their prior track records), but based upon your other criteria I think the PS3 is the system for you.

ps3 for rpgs and gta's (early)

a true balla would have both installed into his Escalade to be played on the LCD screens in the back of the headrests.

PS3 may not be released for a year, or even longer. X360 is going to be your best bet, unless you want to wait a long time.

You should try to find out info about the mods for the new systems. I have a modded XBox and I love playing free games and movies before they are released in theatres.

You a fan of the Morrowwind series?

One of the slated early Xbox360 titles is the newest game by that outfit and from what I've read it looks to be really good, and I'm not really into that kind of thing.

Xbox will have Halo 3 obviously and probably some other good shooters, as will PS3.

Look around online as GTA's may be dropping on the Microsoft systems as soon or sooner than PS3, unlike before, and there are a few big clones that may actually be good too.

Xbox is generally lacking in RPGS however, but you'll have to wait a long while for PS3. for DDRMax Im pretty sure you'd have to go with PS3.
