Hi all. I do not want to start a flame-war. so please, let's be mature. Here goes.
I am looking forward to the next gen console games. Namely GTA:4. As it will only come out for the 360 and PS3 (maybe for PC, my preferred choice but most likely it will be DX10 and or Vista, which I have no plans on going to yet), and have been researching both consoles, but cannot conclude which would be better for me. I have read ad naseum about the pluses and minuses of both platforms. But, I need to hear from ATs experts about which of the 2 systems would be the all-around best console for me. I dont give a hoot about HD playback as whichever console I choose with be connected to my 2007fpw screen anyway. I just really need to know if there is any reason to choose one over the other. Minor graphic issues aside, which platform has the better games NOW and which will have the better one in the future? I WAS leaning toward the PS3 as I have tons of PS1 and PS2 games that would work on it, but cannot justify the high cost of it for only backward compatibility. Please, make up my mind for me.
Also, what is the issue with older Xbox games and backward compatibility? I see Xbox games for 5 bucks. Is the 360 only backward compatible with major xbox 1 games?
