I'm looking to get NHL 12 but don't have Xbox or PS3. Which one do you guys prefer / recommend? I'm looking to get the least inexpensive model of either console. I see the Xbox is the cheapest at $199. Any major pluses or drawbacks to either system?
Thanks!

well,
pros for xbox.
bigger community online
cons for xbox
you have to PAY to play online
no blu ray
pros for PS3
BIG community for online
gameplay is EXACTLY the same as the 360
you DO NOT PAY for online
built in blu- ray player
cons for PS3
community not as large as XBOX
a few of us here play the game on PS3 (myself included) the EASHL is fantastic!...once you play that mode, there is no turning back, i guarantee you that.
whatever console you decide on, you will have a Crap load of fun with NHL 12

I'd say PS3. McGuire outlines the basic pros and cons pretty well. The blu-ray player and the free online play are pretty huge advantages.

In my opinion I would recommend Xbox. You do have to pay but online is much more reliable (eg doesn't crash as much). And as mentioned above it does have more people playing online too.

PS3 has free online so If you aren't a big online player but go on every so often then it's the console you want. It's 60 bucks a year for Xbox live. Coming from someone who only moderately plays online, that's too much money.

Ps3>xbox360
I owned both but sold my 360
Paying for something that is free with ps3 is not smart
Blu ray player is a easy way to sell it too the wife!

I have a 360, if I could go back in time and tell my ex girl friend to pay an extra $200 to buy me a PS3 instead I would  Honestly in terms of graphics/game play neither is really and better or worst. The PS3 has the blu ray which is its main plus and the reason its more expensive. The main problem with the 360 which keeps biting me in the @$$ is it constantly over heats and freezes on me. Price for online play really shouldnt be a factor, xbox live is $5 a month, and yes it is much better than PS3's online play so its well worth it. Its $5!!!!! thats 500 pennies! |

Ps3 is pretty much the same price.
60 dollars a year is a rip off. if you own it for the next 4 years with online that's 240 dollars more.

Hey NHL 12 guys. I'm an admin at fraggednation.com which is a competitive gaming site. If we can get enough support for NHL 12 in a thread on the site we will be adding NHL 12. If it is added you will be able to compete in each season for a spot in the playoffs, possible prizes, and a chance to compete for the all time NHL 12 FN champion. The game just so happens to be run by two Winnipeg born die hard Jets fans so support fellow fans. Any support would be greatly appreciated. www.fraggednation.com/forum/topic/NHL-12-20271 |
