You don’t have to browse many message boards to figure out that die-hard fans of either the Xbox 360 or the PS3 don’t really get along with those that use the other system. Who knew that the consoles themselves don’t get along either?
John Davison of 1up found this out the hard way. He keeps both is 360 and PS3 in his entertainment center. They are both enclosed in a cabinet, which he knows isn’t good for them when they are running. Well, the 360 does just fine while closed up, but his PS3 heats up very quickly, so he must leave the door open when playing it.
Unfortunately his son decided to pick up his SIXAXIS controller and pretend to play along with his brother while he played on the Xbox 360. Well, he hit the PS button kicking on the PS3, and after a short while heated up so much that it fried his 360. Ouch.
So the next time you are setting up your entertainment center, remember two things. Keep your consoles in well-ventilated areas and keep your 360 and PS3 separated. They really don’t get along.

The PS3 looks like a big George Forman grill, i can just imagine myself cooking come burgers on it lol
The 360 is more sleek but the designers could have been a bit more innovative with the outside of the case, like a green xbox 360 logo on the top, some liken it to a dell optiplex desktop and i agree.
I have a 360 and i dont have any issues with noise and heat, mind u i ise it in a well ventilated rack. The only thing that annoys me sometimes it takes long t lg into my live account when i boot the console up and i have to wait for this b4 i can play anything. Apart from that its a good console.

The 360 is a unrelaible, noisy, rushed to market hunk of junk.
I am not suprised the PS3 whipped it’s ass, and sent it to the early grave it deserved.
I can’t understand why so many 360 fanboys love their console, when microsoft have dumped on them so badly with the poor reliability, high noise levels, and new versions of the console, with all the stuff they did not get ready for launch…

Someone should really start making a point about how little the power comsumption of a Wii is compared to the other two. Global warming and ‘Green’ and all that. (As long as Wiiconnect24 is turned off)

GTA was never an exclusive.
Capcom(developers/publishers of DMC4) decided that they wanted to make more money by making it multiplatform. How is this a knock on the PS3?
what about the 360 “exclusives” that are now on the PS3? oh yeah, we can’t talk about them.
and I think that 3.5million units sold worldwide is a great feat for a console that costs $600 and have very, very few games to warrant it’s purchase.
I remember Sony saying, “We could sell the PS3 with no games.”. well, they did..to the tune of about 3.5million.

I don’t know what some of you are talking about, think about this, sure the ps3 stood up to the heat but why does it even get that hot. If the 360 cant stand the heat its because it doesnt have to, systems arnt supposed to get hot enought to fry plastic. And no 360 exclusive, ha. I’d like to see the halo series come out on any other system, then i’ll be surprised and disapointed because the other systems wouldnt be good enough for it.

Xbox 360, best online fan-based hands down…best “current” line-up of games for mature audiences hands down…PS3 the monster of the video game market…it cost more because it is more…it’s an entertainment hub…hell outside of a couple games it’s just a really cheap blue ray player with massive potential…will we see it, sure…let it get off it’s feet…and don’t think I mention the Wii last because it is the least powerhouse…it is, but it’s got innovation hands down…collection of games that are fun to pick-up, master in 30 minutes and have fun with. Not to mention that it’s a great baby sitter if you have kids and want to get your game on the other meaty systems…so all in all, each do exactly what they are going to ever do and nothing you fan boys say is going to change business strategy….so play your heart out and go to Best Buy or Gamestop and play the other console once in a while, you may just like some part of it….PCs RULE! :)

Cell processor, the heart of the PLAYSTATION 3, is more capable at performing the simulations needed for Folding@home than the Xbox 360’s CPU and is “about 20 times faster than a typical PC, simulating key processes in protein folding and misfolding in Alzheimer’s Disease”. “The cell processor in the PS3 is much more powerful for our calculations than the CPU in the Xbox 360.do a research if u like.
oh and the games that just came out on the PS3 is only using 20-30% and 360 is alredy using 80-84% wich means its not better than ps3.pluss ps3 has blu-ray on the games so it can be better lookin on the TV and bigger games. and is a fact

PS3 – yes i’m a owner and a very worried one.
This week I heard that the gaming developers were not making cross platforms games enhanced for PS3.
Xbox has dvd disc space whereas PS3 – blueray obvious is much more which is causing problems. You would think is was the other way around wouldn’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If sony could some way get the games out which have been delayed this will sell the consoles.
-11moose o death May 5, 2007
developers build for the easiest/ most common console and port from there to make sure their largest market is getting a quality product.
if the x360 has 10,000,000 potential sales it gets the developers time and effort.
blu-ray is slower than dvd which is why blu-ray is an issue, if sony had stuck 3xBDrom drives in ps3’s the issue would be reduced. but as it stands a ps3 is reading data slower and it needs to read 2.5 times as much of it to find something. this is why everyone else stuck with dvd. while it’s never bothered sony to make people wait to play games.
the ps3 shouldn’t have built up so much heat, it’s a little ridiculous that modern consoles need specially designed entertainment units for reliable use. luckily mine needed only minor modifications for dedicated console areas hidden during general use (thank you standard wireless controls)
-20Jimbob May 8, 2007
Hey all, I just wanted to express what has happened to me in the last couple of weeks. I was the proud owner of a 360 and hd-dvd add-on. I found the elite a little expensive, but never the less, I wanted the hard drive, after being told i could trade my 360 for $250.00 towards an elite, I just sold it to my brother so he could have one cheaper(wife). I waited for 2 hours on saturday night untill 12:00am and purchased mine along with 4 others(thats all they had). after just one day, my dvd drive failed (there is a video on youtube showing exactly what mine did also) I returned it to walmart, only to find out that all 4 consoles had returned!! ouch!! so at this point i was really pissed. I spent another $150.00 on a ps3 and i am amazed at how this thing blows away the 360, graphically the 360 does not render in 1080p! if so, then why does the ps3 look 10 times better? this is for all the xbox 360 fans: If the ps3 games are looking better than what 360 is right now-and these are launch games- what do you suppose they will look like by xmas of 07`? I would probably keep quiet on the graphics part of this if i was an xbox 360 owner! having said that, the xbox live totaly destroys what sony is trying to attempt! so far this is the only drawback i have with the ps3. oh yeah, the blu ray movies look also 10 times better, then the hd-dvd add-on, and i had tha add-on hooke up with hdmi on the elite—the xbox 360 does not do “tru 1080p hd”!!!!!!

Well i am about as big as fan boys come. I love the xbox 360!!!! well at least i did. I spent so much money on microsoft, easily $1000AU but i just can’t deny the fact now that im happier with my ps3.My 360 was useless it loaded slow freezed all the time and wouldn’t even read games half of the time. well that was my first one anyway the next three were just as bad, i can’t believe microsoft ripped me off so badly!!!!!!!!!!!! Im one of their biggest supporters but obviously that doesn’t mean crap to them. So i have completly converted to sony now and i have to say i couldn’t be happier the console is great, looks really nice too, the 360 looks like a bunch of cheap plastic moulded together.

DrewG May 19, 2007
I dont even know how people argue over what the better console is……..I have both ps3 and 360 with a 48″ plasma tv….The graphics are about the same. PERIOD. The ps3 is just coming out. It will take them at least a year to get the game developers on board. MOTORSTORM is the best game ive seen(racing and background visuals) come out. I agree the 360 has better game titles but honestly the ps3 hasnt even been out a year. Its everyones preference…I grew up on nintendo and still love the wii but for my age(20’s) we want more storage and more proccesing speed. I support Blu-Ray 110%. Not because I own a ps3 but because the comparisons are kind of a joke. Ive watched movies on both formats and really couldnt see a big difference but dont people want a disc that holds twice the memory???? OR should you just wait and spend some more high priced dollars for another microsoft “add on” Im sorry but as much as I dislike SONY as a company they have a better product for the future PERIOD!

Poor poor pathetic fan boys. I say this for anybody who obsesses over any system. Though I will admit. I’m a major 360 fan, but it’s useless to argue about which system is better because people will always think their opinions are correct. I agree with you guys about the 360 and the lack of heating problems. Though for all the people who think the PS3 is completely superior. Take a look at the games for each system. chances are you’ll find that they’re quite similar. Graphics wise. Xbox live and Halo concerned. XBL has been up and running for years making it better. People are willing to pay for it, but not for PS3…I dont think thats a coincednce. Halo, I disagree that other systems wouldn’t be good enough for it but it wouldnt be the same and Bungie would lose a lot of fans IMO.

Josh May 30, 2007
I just bought my friends 360 (He was hurting for the money :x) Yea it’s a great system… When I went to my friends house (Owns a PS3) we played the 360, simply because we had more games to play for it. Truthfully I am a little worried about my purchase though. XBL is possibly the greatest thing in online gaming, yet the 360 does not have the FUTURE potential. Look at how fast technology is going. I mean the PS2 and Xbox lasted 5-6 years?? In 5-6 years the 360 really won’t live up to anything. 5-6 years 720p will be the minimum anyone will ever have (like 480i is today) PS3 will be running 1080p. 5-6 years DVD will be as VHS tapes are today. Blu-Ray is my choice, but either way…Microsoft did NOT prepare for the future in this console. Yea its a great console…for today. I am neutral as to being a fanboy, but I think Sony might have this one 2+ years down the road… Just my 2 cents, hopefully someone reads this and it makes sense ;)
+49Josh May 30, 2007
Also forgot to mention, I am mainly a PC gamer…while it may be more expensive, a PC will never bring about arguing such as these consoles seeing as how you can customize it how you want it and make it do what YOU want it to do. Console gaming will never surpass PC gaming as far as GAMING (not talking about integrating media with the family and all that junk) I’ve always been a console gamer, but I’ve realized that PC gaming is the way to go…if you can afford it.
+4Josh May 30, 2007
Then again 5-6 years both the 360 and PS3 will be as obsolete to the PC’s as PS2 and Xbox are today…so either way it doesn’t matter. Do what makes you happy TODAY. You only get 1 life, do whatever you want with it and don’t waste time criticizing other people for making the choices they did :P

NeutralMelchia June 12, 2007
I loved my 360. When it actually worked. Gears of war was hella fun. I wish it would of worked long enough for me to experience Forza 2. :( my point being the 360 is cheaply made. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still own one if I wasn’t jaded by having to send it in 3 times for repair. And then, the 4th time i needed it fixed, Microsoft told me I was outta luck. But they would gladly fix it for $120.00 (US). I hope for you xbox fans the elete is made better (though from what i hear it is not.) Having been inside both the 360 and PS3 Quality in construction goes to PS3 hands down. I just don’t feel like shelling out another 300-400 bucks just to get a system that might work for a year tops. That being said I know many people that have 1st gen 360’s that work perfect to this day. I just know more people who have had problems with them.

@ Rob & co.
”all you 360 fanboys can say is halo and gears of war, i swear man lol microsoft offered to sell sony the halo series, but they refused becuase they knew they could make better games like resistance fall of man.”
Your a retard! Microsoft would never sell its no.1 xbox game.
Resistance was an ok game at best, (nice graphics, repetitive gameplay). And its worth mentioning it only sold around 1million copies. Whereas gears of war has sold nearly 4 (3.7) million!
As for the rest of you xbox bashing sony fanboys:
Consoles are about the games not the specs. Yes ps3 has better graphics than xbox, but only slightly better. And its architecture is so complex that most multi-platfrom games actually look better on the 360. FACT! The graphics tend to be slightly sharper on the ps3 but the lighting is way off & colour seems a little washed out. And from what I’ve seen on the xbox the lighting effects are better & there is better more vibrant colour. Also frame rates tend to be better on the 360.
And as for games, I’d choose the 360 any day. Yes, give it another year or two & the ps3 will have more games, but its quality, not quantity that matters! Just look at the ps2 – 1000’s of games (of which, IMO, the majority sucked!)
And the ps3 has lost almost all of its ‘exclusive’ titles already. With soul caliber 4, resident evil 5, assassins creed… As a matter of fact I can only think of grand turismo 5, ffxii, tekken & mgs4 that remain exclusive. And out of them mgs4 is the only game that I’d actually want to play. And due to the shear cost of production – we’ll likly be seeing mgs4 on the 360. Plus we’ve got great exclusives such as halo 3, halo wars, gears of war, fable 2, dead or alive & dead rising.

Yes there is a high failure rate, but so what. Microsoft repair your console for free, if its still in warranty (And for me that’s 2 years free repair!) Yes its an inconvience, but I’d never trade in & get a ps3 because I wouldn’t be able to play all my great xbox exclusive games such as halo!

I am a die hard xbox 360 fan… i own both consoles ps3 and 360….. there both really great systems!.. the fact of the matter is that sony left lots of people in the dust with no really good games…. the difficulty of making games on the ps3 is hurting the company and that sony has lost lots of the exclusive titles. For all the ps3 fans… Sony will come back from this just give it till xmas 07 blu ray is the future and sony is working on feature rich firmware in witch to inhance online gaming and better navigation kinda like the xbox 360 dashbar that can come up even in games for invites and chats etc….. Now for 360 fans i bet there is alot of 360 fans worried that blu ray will hurt xbox cause of the fact that it holds more information… and that games are starting to need much more room then what the DvD can supply with its 8gigs of space also the fact that I know all 360 fans know that the ps3 is a MUCH MORE POWERFUL system, xbox 360 will be updateded very shortly just wait the new console will be here in 2-3 years witch will support even better online hopefully i nicer looking system(the ps3 looks really nice.. shiny) and will support either blu ray or hd dvd.. witch ever comes on top..( ps3 will not be updated for a very long time… it is the future people just dont know how to use it for what it really can do.. thank god the ps3 dude got let go.. cause he fucked sony pretty bad…),,,, ( once more to sum up… xbox 360 will be updated soon cause i bet microsoft knows that they can keep useing dvds… its the past and it wont last long under the might of the blu ray disc… microsoft will make a console just as good as the ps3’s power..)

[quote comment="23602"][quote comment="23601"]Let me tell you something peolpe stop saying that PS3 sucks and 360 is better because PS3 has only been out a few months not even a year and 360 has been out sinces 2004 so 360 had the chance to make really good games and PS3 is barely starting.And another thing I own a PS3,360 and other consoles and I am not saying 360 sucks I really do like both PS3 and 360 and I like My PS3 better.and come on 360 fans please give PS3 a chance because you people that hate the PS3 are going to see that in a year PS3 is going to have way way better games than the 360 like MIDNIGHT CLUB:LOS ANGELES is coming out in March 2008 and this other game called Tom Clancy’s END WORLD and its only going to be for the PS3.BUT watch your soon going to regret that you people bought a 360 just watch and you’ll see because PS3 is barely starting making good games BEARLY OH and my 360 broke months ago well it didn’t break it over heated and my PS3 has never never never over heated NEVER! If you people are wondering why PS3 gets really hot let me tell you Because its really big and it has blu-ray and because the Blu-ray is slower than DVD the blu-ray works much harder to play movies and games.[/quote]
Yo Dumb ass Tom clancy’s end war…. first of all its called tom clancys end war dipshit… and its out for both consoles So its Midnight club: Los Angeles… Get your facts straight before you accuse xbox owners that it was a bad choice…. This is where ps3 suffers… to many dipshits like this guy thinking he knows everything…

”all you 360 fanboys can say is halo and gears of war, i swear man lol microsoft offered to sell sony the halo series, but they refused becuase they knew they could make better games like resistance fall of man.”
Your a retard! Microsoft would never sell its no.1 xbox game.
Resistance was an ok game at best, (nice graphics, repetitive gameplay). And its worth mentioning it only sold around 1million copies. Whereas gears of war has sold nearly 4 (3.7) million!
As for the rest of you xbox bashing sony fanboys:
Consoles are about the games not the specs. Yes ps3 has better graphics than xbox, but only slightly better. And its architecture is so complex that most multi-platfrom games actually look better on the 360. FACT! The graphics tend to be slightly sharper on the ps3 but the lighting is way off & colour seems a little washed out. And from what I’ve seen on the xbox the lighting effects are better & there is better more vibrant colour. Also frame rates tend to be better on the 360.
And as for games, I’d choose the 360 any day. Yes, give it another year or two & the ps3 will have more games, but its quality, not quantity that matters! Just look at the ps2 – 1000’s of games (of which, IMO, the majority sucked!)
And the ps3 has lost almost all of its ‘exclusive’ titles already. With soul caliber 4, resident evil 5, assassins creed… As a matter of fact I can only think of grand turismo 5, ffxii, tekken & mgs4 that remain exclusive. And out of them mgs4 is the only game that I’d actually want to play. And due to the shear cost of production – we’ll likly be seeing mgs4 on the 360. Plus we’ve got great exclusives such as halo 3, halo wars, gears of war, fable 2, dead or alive & dead rising.[/quote]
See now this guys knows his stuff.. and hes damn right that ps3 has lost exclusives and there going to xbox.. microsoft seems to me knows how to run the show alittle better then sony.. but dont get me wrong sony put out a good consoles.. they just need to work at it now… XBOX 360 KICK ASS :D
NeutralRK June 28, 2007
God bless those who bought 360’s ‘extended warranty’, yer gonna nid it. Mr happy owner with teh 90days full exchange warranty will be even ‘happier’ to pay about $130 for a guaranteed re-furbed junk that’ll probably slap with ‘unreadable disc’ error. If you’re lucky, it may last until the damned game ending credits kicks in.
“You did great my beloved box, that you gave splendid entertainment! Worked every ounce of your awesome power, and passed heroicly for my gaming sake! Fear not o great box, big daddy will fix you in no time.” – fanboy.
It is almost unbelievable one can forgive such failure. You happy, Microsoft happy. You three ROD, Microsoft happy. Yet aside from ‘minority vocal’ complaint, everyone seems to tolerate paid *repairs* once or twice and still be happy…
360 = live time bomb; best christmas present for the kids

yo.. bottomline>>> ps3 is 10 TIMES better than xbox360. you xbox360 fans can suck the dick ur mom and sister(s) sucked.
basically xbox360 is the same price as ps3. wanna know how:
all the accessories for the xbox cost money($) ex.the monthly internet fee, cover to make your system look better, remote, and so on
while the ps3 comes with free online gaming, free surfing the net, free chatting, and you dont need live headphones because it has live video with the people you playing with on your tv screen….defeat that microsoft. also the playstation 3 has the sixaxis wireless controller wwhere it has the motion sensor which allows you to move u character by tilting or putting it up and down and you can play it without the wire or with the wire and you can play your game while the controller is charging
bottomline..the only reason why these fucked up losers are hated on ps3 is because when their parents seen the price of it, they almost had a stroke..they too poor soo they had to go with the cheap one. And besides i can say most of them didnt even play ps3 and they just sayin wat they wanna say… PS3 WINS..PS3 IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTTTTEERRRRR THAN XBOX360. THE ONLY problem ps3 has is the number of games but you cant blame them cuz it just came out. you gotta give them a year like they did with the 360. in about a year from now, you going to see more people with ps3 than 360. the only reason why 360 is winning now is because of the number of games 360 has and price. some people buying xbox360 because there friends have it and they want it as while
i have ps3 and OHHH MY UCKING GOD… it is sooo amazing, it made some SERIOUS IMPROVEMENTS.. GOD DAMN i was shocked and it has better graphics and loads faster

Jimmy,
Here is the problems with your speech
“basically xbox360 is the same price as ps3. wanna know how:
all the accessories for the xbox cost money($) ex.the monthly internet fee, cover to make your system look better, remote, and so on”
Monthly Fee:49,95 FOR A YEAR
Controller:Free
Remote:Wth do you need a remote for just use the on screen buttons
And for the so on im thinking these will go in that catagory
Mic:Free With premium or $15 extra with core(nobody even buys the core anyway)
Wireless Controller:Free with premium or wired with Core
Vibration:FREE!
HardDrive:Free with premium or $85 for 20gb(all you need) if you have core
“while the ps3 comes with free online gaming, free surfing the net, free chatting, and you dont need live headphones because it has live video with the people you playing with on your tv screen….defeat that microsoft. also the playstation 3 has the sixaxis wireless controller wwhere it has the motion sensor which allows you to move u character by tilting or putting it up and down and you can play it without the wire or with the wire and you can play your game while the controller is charging”
WebSurfing:Not needed use your damn computer
Free Chatting:Xbox Live???
Headphones:Why Not?
Live Video:$39:95 for camera plus it comes with a free mic,arcade game and 1 month of xboxlive Great Deal
Sixaxis:Not even wanted get a wii for that, Vibration? nope
Play while charging:Its called Plug and Play or get the charging charging station to swap batteries if you have 2
I have an xbox but ive played the ps3 it pwnz but seriously for all you ps3 fanboys who complain about the xbox’s breaking down heres some information
You hear about the xbox’s that break down BUT you dont hear about the ones that dont, I have a launch day 360 and it hasnt even had a single problem
P.S for all the people saying “I had an xbox but it broke and I switched to ps3″ thats as believable as the “Your our 100th Visitor click here for your prize!” ads

Aight,.. Here goes…. I’ve been torn between which one of these two systems to purchase for a while now. I’m a big fan of both,.. I owned both previous consoles and altho I was kinda leaning towards the PS3 all my friends and cousins were lobbying for me to get a 360,.. (Cuz of “Live” ofcourse) I personally kno about 30 people with a 360 and altho it seems that all of them have had to send theirs in for repair at least once, most 2 or even 3 times,.. They still love em and defend them viciously,.. I like the fact that the 360 is an american console (hope that don’t sound patriotically gay) but I don’t like the fact that Microsoft has gang-raped their consumers the way they have,… with the defective systems and the whole releasing of an “Elite” system when people already thought they had purchased the best version,.. And furthermore not gettin full trade in value,… it’s fuckin ridiculous,.. I’ve done extensive research on both (I kno the specs of each console from memory,… and prolly recite them in my sleep)….. and I’ve read just about every internet forum (tho none made me laugh as much as this one) in order to assist my purchase. I’ve lost some of my enthusiasm for videogames over the years,… but they’re still a love of mine.. (I’m only 25 but work and my daughter take up most of my time) I’ve also spent some time playing the 360… thru friends systems,.. I actually have one sittin in my living room right now (one of my friends…. hardly plays it except when he comes to hang out… I have the HDTV) Now.. Altho I agree with the “Live” argument and don’t think that Sony will ever be able to replicate that outside of making an exact copy,… (and good luck with that “Sims” style shit) I think that that’s the only advantage,.. the PS3 has not yet reached full potential,.. One of my concerns was the format,.. Which one is gonna become obsolete?… and altho there’s a price difference between the formats,.. Blu-Ray is outselling HD-DVD’s substancially,… and this thing has a built in Blu-Ray player… the price tag was also an issue,.. Not because I don’t have the money (heh,.. there’s a reason everybody hangs out at my crib),… it was the principle,.. But they just lowered the price $100 (that did it for me),…. c’mon man!…. can’t go wrong… I might get a 360 down the road but I’m sure ill be just fine with the PS3,… I never liked Halo and GOW is fun but not enuff to drive me to go on that aspect alone,… thanks for all the helpfull information (from the 360 and PS3 fans,… both of youse make good points) and I’m gonna go pick up a PS3 as soon as I get outta work.

Thank you, to the 4 or 5 people that posted analysis.
Please eat glass and die, to the fanboys cluttering up 95% of this discussion with utterly useless whining and bashing.
I’m in the same boat as Yankee. I have many friends that own 360s, but none with PS3s. Three of the former are 360 fanboys, encouraging me to get one when I make up my mind about getting a next-gen counsel.
The bottom lines for me are the following.
The 360 has several exclusive titles, but with the exception of Fable they’re all multiplayer frag games, the interest in which tends to wear off in a couple of hours of play. Since I would only play these with friends anyway, the strongest advantage of the 360 is negated for me. Fable I can buy or download for PC when it’s released in a year.
The biggest factor is graphics. PS3 graphics are better, both by the objective analysis of people that own both systems, and from side-by-side comparisons.
The Darkness
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21123.html
Oblivion
http://www.gametrailers.com/pl.....p;id=18049
And developers have been working on tapping 360 graphical potential for much longer than for the PS3, which has basically tapped the keg of potential.
At the moment, all multiplatform games are being ported to the PS3 from the 360, and they still look better on the PS3. Once the PS3 gains the lead, and the more research I do the more confident I become that it will, developers will be porting from the PS3 to the 360. When this happens the rapidly-growing gap in graphical performance will widen tremendously.
At present time, I’m waiting to see who wins out between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, but anyone with basic rationality can tell how that’s going.
For me, the 360 has two advantages.
- The superior interface of X-Box live, significantly lessened due to the subscription cost
- Bomberman Live. I love bomberman.
For me, the PS3 has several advantages.
- Increasingly superior graphics
- Substantially greater storage room for online content and etcetera
- Blu-Ray capability- since standalone blu-ray players are around $600-$1000, and are unlikely to drop below $300 in the next 5 years, this completely negates the price difference between the 360 and the PS3.
- Exclusives that I actually want to play, and moreover that I will want to play alone and for extended periods of time. Namely, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy.
The bottom-bottom line of the matter is that for immediate gratification, the 360 is better. In a few years, however, when Microsoft begins to lose more and more money under the competition of the PS3, they’ll more-than-likely have to either fundamentally recreate the 360 or release a whole new system (the 1080?). So the most realistic choice comes down to paying $500 now for a PS3, or paying $300 now for a 360 and another $500 in the years to come when you have to update again.
That being said, I travel with increasing frequency, inhibiting the value of video games for me. In 2 years, when I finish my first undergrad, I may very well have to stop playing video games altogether. For me, the 360 may end up as the better choice, but as an objective perceiver and researcher of the console war, I have to, in good conscience, give it to the PS3.

wii the senser bar sucks i connect with my ps3 from down the street then i do wit the wii in my bed room yes my brother has a wii and i rather play with my own wii if you no what i mean then play with my own and it is less work trying to connect to . plus with the wii you have to move they made video games so you do not have to move and my bro is fat he did not lose weight. screw ative video games.
the ps3 is great sure no games really came out for it yet but weight for a new finial fantsy to hit the market and a call of duty 4 and grand thief auto 4 and many others no glitches like xbox 360
+3ummmmm... July 15, 2007
i think i’ll be getting a ps3..
same games as xbox360 + msg4. Sure, i wont be able to play halo but im getting kind of sick of it, i beat them both in 2 days on legendary and it got boring after awhile. ive always thought of sony as a luxury company that has products that work and its seems like they just keep proving me right. i may have to work a couple extra hours to afford it but since the price cut and its better dependability im sure it will turn out to be a worthy investment.
and theres no doubt in my mind that sony is going to start pulling better games out than the 360. and if theyre launched for both consoles theres going to be an obvious difference in quality with ps3 coming on top.
so yeah..im going to get a ps3
+16unit22r July 17, 2007
I’m not gonna get any of them.. at least for a while. This is mainly because im not going to fork out hundreds just to play a few games. The wii is pretty cheap, but I hate the games for it, they are too simple and lighthearted for me. I’d probably go for a ps3 though.

Maybe you fuckers should buy the console with the spell checker. You sit there all day with the controller in your right hand and your dick in your left hand playing your RPG games while you wait for your unemployment check. I know your imaginations may get the best of you but you are not warlords in a forest, you’re dirty ass scratching bastards who are in their 30s and still live with their mothers. Maybe , instead of worrying about whether to spend $500 on a PS3 or $400 on a 360, you should go to the mailbox and grab your check, hop on your scooter, take your rubber chick out from under the bed and go buy her something really nice. If you want to see a real breast, post a reply with your email and we’ll work out something for a photo exchange. This may be the only shot you get, so clean the cum off your hands and start typing.

I don’t have either the PS3 or the Xbox360. But after hearing some of your arguments, I will but the PS3 in a few months when its get cheaper. Also if you guys have heard the rumor about the 40 GB PS3 that will be 399 bucks? I hope its true ’cause I will probably get that. I believe the console war can be compared to cars. American cars are never as reliable as Japanese cars. Sony is superior to Microsoft. Go PS3!

i have a point to make about the prices of each console….
PS3: 500$ gets you an blueray high definition movie player, built in b/g wifi, multiple memory card adapterslots, and an interchangeable hard disk driveto what ever size you please as long as it a 2.5 inch drive, not to mention the optionl linux operating system you can install top have a personal computer and gaming console into one…
XBOX 360: 400$ gets you a high definition gaming experience( as well as ps3), an 20gb hard drive that is easliy detachable to strap onto another console, but you have to add all the extras that come built in to the ps3…
PS3: blueray –$
High definition movie player –$
Built in b/g wifi –$
larger hdd 50$ – 250$(depending on size)
Xbox 360: wifi adapter 100$
High definition movie player 200$
Larger 120gb hdd 180$
with the ps3 you spend about 500 dollars and get lots of bonuses and for the xbox 360 to even compete you need to spend 700$ and youre still missing 40 gb’s of storage dataso 880$ to be equal to the ps3 which costs 500$…
just my two cents

I’m happy with my 360 which I’ve owned for many months now. It’s never given me any problems and Xbox Live is superb.
Side by side screenshot comparisons show next to no difference between the two consoles. You can read all sorts of comments from developers in favour of either console anywhere on the web.
So get on and just play your games which look similar on both systems. If you really want the best looking games and certainly control system for FPS’s then go and buy a PC. If you can afford it.

Nah i thought that the ps3 should be awsome when it was released but i was wrong.
I did not buy it for 1 major reason and that was: It was sooooo expensive, but thats not all i saw. The ps3 is like the ps2 exept it has better graphics and some new games with various game engines. The 360 has really the best online communication/system in my opinion. AND PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A 360 THATS NOISY BUY AN INTERCOLER FFS!
Ps. PS3 AND XBOX 360 ARE THE BEST CONSOLES IN MY OPINION AND WII CAN JUST GO AND SCREW ITSELF.

To the PC guys on this thread.
Quite simply , I own a powerful desktop Computer. A Dual Power PC mac (the chips they use in the Xbox 360)
Its no good for games . BUT it s rips any PC for Music. (logic Pro 7)
So why do I want a PC ? Games…. Yeh your right.. My computer investment however is for other reasons. I have games for the mac ,albeit , not anywhere near PC standards (Quake3-4 , Doom 3/ COD 1-2 , MOH1-2) and without a doubt , Mouse/keyboard for FPS is the dogs bollocks.
At this point , I decided to buy a “GAMING” Console ,A friend of mine I call “Console King” gave me the lowdown. Not a Sales pitch, but a recommendation using his own experiences. Lets also call it Knowledge.
After many conversations, and gaming weekends on Wii, XB ,360 ,PS2 , PS3 , said-. All have their Pros’ and cons. (wow , how helpful)
But at this point I realised what I wanted. A PC !! Arrrghh.
“light Bulb” Hang on , If I get a PS3 , it boots in seconds ,Shuts down in seconds, Sits under my HD Plasma in the lounge room (looking Kitch) , Has True 1080p/i (Even a cross-fired PC running @ 1920/1080 can have problems, except VERY EXPENSIVE systems ) Can stream movies from any computer with a uPNP server, so I dont need a MS Media Server, Its Quite , Can run Linux ,and can play Blu-ray or DVD movies.
Yep … I Love Movies. And who Doesn’t ??
Holy Moly.. I can even play 4 people @ once , on one screen after getting back from the pub downing pints of Guinness.
BTW, did I mention the announcement of Mouse/Keyboard support for UT3 on PS3 ?
Maybe not for you , But for me GOOD reasons.

CONFIRMED
The same people who make metal gear solid are going to release the next one on the 360 to they are hiring another company to port the game over 1-3 months after it comes out on ps3
-1t0ng0 July 30, 2007
the day my ps3 starts to heat up and freeze im a trow that mog aout the window.. But of course that’s not going to happen like my 360. Xbox 360 got better games right know but the good ones for ps3 are going to be out by fall. games like rainbow 6 vegas, Fear, Madden Look way Better on the ps3 and that’s a proven Fact. If i have to pick out of the two, 360 got the games right know but my pick would be ps3 because it’s so technology advanced and much powerful.
+1Rick July 30, 2007
They all suck…I paid to much for a bunch of crap (xbox 360 – then a ps3 ) that a pc does better!…thats why i gave mine to my little brother so he could play with his little friends…
-2john July 30, 2007
lol the only reason why ps3 didnt beat the xbox 360 in sales is because its more expensive and not many people can afford. I used to have a xbox 360 and it sucked so bad i sold it to get my ps3.( i also have a wii too). And what is all this talk about crappy games??? the ps3 has better games then what the xbox 360 had at its launch. Ps3 has everything needed to be a gamer, even free online.Dont forget about all the bugs that the 360 has. I know that people have there preferences between interactive gameplay(wii) and hardcore gaming(ps3) but the choice between ps3 and 360 should be a no brainer if you think about the choice your making.
+5David July 30, 2007
Lol the ps3 totally blows the xbox 360 away. Everything that the 360 can do the ps3 can do better( with the one exception of online gaming) but in my opinion i would rather get free online then pay for live that has more people.If your having trouble deciding which system i recommend the ps3 first and wii second mainly for just having a completly fun gaming experience.
+4Charchar July 30, 2007
The ps3 is a unreliable, noisy, rushed to market hunk of junk.
I am not suprised the Xbox 360 whipped it’s ass, and sent it to the early grave it deserved.
I can’t understand why so many Ps3 fanboys love their console, when Sony has dumped on them so badly with technology that will not be used soon enough (Blu-ray) a cheap Wi-Fi connection that messes up your controllers and a super overheating system that freezes every other hour. Sony please don’t do us anymore favors. We hate you.
-10logan July 31, 2007
lets all stop being bicthes and stop being baies we can play our ps3’s and xbox 360 and wii’s that no one really likes as much as the better consles heres what we do we fuck a girl up the ass while we r playing our consles duh now stop fighting and plzy the games while geting laid its what canadains do best

[quote comment="21634"]I don’t know what some of you are talking about, think about this, sure the ps3 stood up to the heat but why does it even get that hot. If the 360 cant stand the heat its because it doesnt have to, systems arnt supposed to get hot enought to fry plastic. And no 360 exclusive, ha. I’d like to see the halo series come out on any other system, then i’ll be surprised and disapointed because the other systems wouldnt be good enough for it.[/quote]
what about oblivion?!?! that was a 360 exclusive but isn’t anymore. and i would really prefer not to have the scrape a xbox 360 out of my carpet
NeutralampSky August 1, 2007
and whats so great about halo, beat both on legendary and they get boring… killzone is better and killzone 2 is coming out for ps3
+3Tim August 1, 2007
Um, which console has been plastered all over the news worldwide because of a massive recall? Look what microsoft have done, they hurried their console so it would be release well before the PS3 and it worked, they got their foot in the door early, got a bigger games base and started winning the console war. Now a year on and look at all the complaints you see over the internet, the news about all the recalls due to faults with the system, and then theres microsofts attempts to make there console appear better than the PS3 by bringing out the “pro” and “elite” version which are not much different at all, a slightly bigger hard drive (which most wont need that much space) and a HDMI port. Woohoo!!!
+3They are both great machines but PS3 has the upper hand and will win this war because it is more the media centre than the gaming console, people buy it just to watch Blu-ray movies, it’s appearence is sleeker, more modern and it is quieter. Thats why it appeals to the older market. No one wants a white leaf blower sitting in their cabinet so they can watch a HD-DVD after buying an additional $200 player which will just clutter up the cabinet. Then realising that the money they spent was wasted because they just bought out a new “elite” model which has HDMI just when you spent another $70 odd dollars on a component cable. It’s a joke, in my opinion (which may or may not be right) Xbox has a very small market which will eventually dry up, Wii has the younger 4-18 years Xbox 360 5-25 whereas playstation 3 is 18-40.
SteveoXP August 1, 2007
[quote comment="22573"]Yeah, for all of you who say the 360 whooped the PS3’s ass–remember that it was released 1 year earlier and $200 dollars less. If you can’t afford the PS3 then don’t start shit on PS3 owners.[/quote]
What does that prove? Its Sony’s fault for taking their time. If someone doesn’t want a console then they don’t have to buy it, and if you go round saying that a 360 owner only has it because they can’t afford a PS3 then ofcourse they’ll argue you moron.

[quote comment="24073"]Jimmy,
Here is the problems with your speech
“basically xbox360 is the same price as ps3. wanna know how:
all the accessories for the xbox cost money($) ex.the monthly internet fee, cover to make your system look better, remote, and so on”
Monthly Fee:49,95 FOR A YEAR
Controller:Free
Remote:Wth do you need a remote for just use the on screen buttons
And for the so on im thinking these will go in that catagory
Mic:Free With premium or $15 extra with core(nobody even buys the core anyway)
Wireless Controller:Free with premium or wired with Core
Vibration:FREE!
HardDrive:Free with premium or $85 for 20gb(all you need) if you have core
“while the ps3 comes with free online gaming, free surfing the net, free chatting, and you dont need live headphones because it has live video with the people you playing with on your tv screen….defeat that microsoft. also the playstation 3 has the sixaxis wireless controller wwhere it has the motion sensor which allows you to move u character by tilting or putting it up and down and you can play it without the wire or with the wire and you can play your game while the controller is charging”
WebSurfing:Not needed use your damn computer
Free Chatting:Xbox Live???
Headphones:Why Not?
Live Video:$39:95 for camera plus it comes with a free mic,arcade game and 1 month of xboxlive Great Deal
Sixaxis:Not even wanted get a wii for that, Vibration? nope
Play while charging:Its called Plug and Play or get the charging charging station to swap batteries if you have 2
I have an xbox but ive played the ps3 it pwnz but seriously for all you ps3 fanboys who complain about the xbox’s breaking down heres some information
You hear about the xbox’s that break down BUT you dont hear about the ones that dont, I have a launch day 360 and it hasnt even had a single problem
P.S for all the people saying “I had an xbox but it broke and I switched to ps3″ thats as believable as the “Your our 100th Visitor click here for your prize!” ads
-Keleus[/quote]
about as beliveable as the “you are the 1000th visitor?” I think It Much more belivable that the 360 is cursed. Ive had the RoD come on 4 times and each time got it fixed, i really liked the 360 lots of fun games and live is awesome, BUT after the 5th time (no RoD, justthe dvd drive stopped working) Ive given up on the faulty equipment microsoft comes out with. LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE SAY THE RING OF DEATH WILL COME ON YOUR 360. PLus ps3 is only 20 bucks more then the 360 elite now
+2Michael August 9, 2007
I have both consoles now and play them often but i think the ps3 is better. Even though its more money i believe its worth it but anyways the price will drop and when that does more people will buy the ps3 and i cant wait for some of its games that are coming out.

+8neil August 16, 2007
i just wanted to add my bit here as i have a xbox and a ps3. Im not technical so i dont really know what all the specs are ect, but one thing is for sure i hardly ever played my xbox, prefering to play my ps2 at the time but since i got the ps3 i havnt got off it. I only got the xbox core system and didnt want to pay extra for all the add ons and it really annoys me that i have to pay to play online. Yes the ps3 is more expensive but that cost would be got back due to the free online gaming. The only advantage i can see in the xbox is the fact that it links very well to my pc and thats it!!!! I think it will only be a matter of time until the playstation has all the better games as it did for both the ps1 and 2. However i do prefer the xbox controller but playing dvd’s on it is a right pain in the arse. Youd have to buy a remote control. It seems to me that once you buy all the extras you need and pay for online play the ps3 actually works out better value for money. And its one of the cheapest blu ray players you can get!!!!!!

Danny August 17, 2007
WOW, i have Xbox 360, and all I here and see is the frame rate and lighting is better its true. But i had a ps2 and the xbox graphics overall were better but nobody wanted an xbox anywhere(especially Japan). Its probably gonna eat away at Microsft forever but, even when the system is inferior or HAS NO VIBRATION, sony just has the fans on there side. There are no games for the PS3, yet there are more ppl saying its better. Why sony has this mysterious allure i dont know but i’m drawn by it, and so are many others.
-4brandon August 18, 2007
i played the xbox360 for months before buying a ps3, and ps3 is a much better system. the xbox seems cheeper but add the year subscription to online gaming, hd-dvd add-on and year worth of AA batteries for the heavy ass controller and its way more expensive. the lack of vibration in the ps3 controller is more than made up for wth the sixaxis. xbox is still stuck with vibration, wait til warhawk comes out displays the power of ps3 controller, driving cars and flying jets is a whole new experience, and it makes rainbow six better as well. Wait til Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out (check out the japanese demonstration on ign.com), xbox owners will be very salty! plus the ps3 gets me a lot of pussy, there is jus somethin about seein a ps3 hooked up to an hdtv and 10000 watt surround sound thta makes gurls think u ballin!!!

x box 360..hahaha…..online games only……….20 BG…….hhaahah…
Anodyne August 19, 2007
I love how people feel the need to bash 360’s because they believed all the HYPE and bought a PS3. The PS3 sucks ass! sorry, but it does. i wanted to like it, i really did. for starters – Resistance: Fall of Man… give me a break… i’ve played it – it sucks. Halo2 is MUCH better, and H2 came out- what 4 years ago- hell Halo 1 is better! and where are all these so called games that are supposedly coming out for PS3… go compare upcoming releases for 360 and PS3 on IGN.com. its laughable. of course PS3 owners will argue that PS3 comes with a built in Blu-Ray player. WHO CARES?! i thought the purpose of a game console was to play GAMES. and what do you think will happen as a result of watching all those movies(not games) on your PS3? can you say “wear out” or “disc read error?” don’t think it will happen? just wait… after your warranty runs out. then you’ll have a broken “cool-looking” PS3 and a bunch of useless BluRay movies that won’t work on anything but a Blu-Ray player. don’t you remember how many problems the PS2 had with disc read errors? hmmm? how easily we forget. and i’m sure PS3 fans will argue about the whole 360 RedRing of Death bullshit. yes that sucked. but look at what Microsoft did, they spent a BILLION dollars fixing people’s consoles – FOR FREE. you think SONY would do that? and haven’t you heard… Microsoft is about to start shipping updated 360’s with smaller chips and coolers and shit that will DRASTICALLY reduce overheating issues.(glad i waited for Halo3 to come out before buying a 360.:)) and lastly XBOX live crushes PS3’s on-line experience. no one can argue that. sorry guys, but 360 owns PS3. don’t say graphics are better on PS3… its just not true… you know it. they’re about equal. all you have with PS3 is a cheap Blu-Ray player – that’s it. (the only game i might actually like for PS3 would be Ninja Gaiden Sigma – but i already played it like 3 years ago on XBOX.)
-8Andrew August 21, 2007
Even though I proudly own a PS3, 90% of you need to get out more.

I think those previous messages were before the ps3 is launched…its now 21st of august 2007 the ps3 is nearly been out a year and xbox 2 years and…good luck to the PS3s kickass games….because the xbox has them all…and….get you stuff right the 360 has clearly more GPU (graphics Processing Unit)…i would say the ps3 is more powerful at running games but overall the 360 has more power the 360 has 3 cores running at 3.2GHZ each these 3 cores run different process one of them is probably the game your running…dunno what the others are…anyway good luck to the PS3 winning cause its won shit so far because it is a big fat mean cramating meat cooking machine..oh yea nice Hard drive on the PS3 60gb…wow that pwns the 360s 20gb…oh wait no it doesnt the elite it coming out with 120gb or well the ps3 if truly fucked….just for the iceing on the cake try ps3s Online play…wow no mic no freinds no pictures no camera no guide button during gamnes and viewing messages while in a game with your freinds…wow with the ps3 online play you get a name woopdeedo its free tho OMG WOW free cause it sucks
-3undead hero August 22, 2007
i have read all these comments on here, and i have to say that i am a sony fan. It brings me back to a time when xbox and PS2 were going head to head in the market. I owned both systems xbox first ps2 second. i was amazed with xbox and all it had to offer. One day i saw my friend playing Socom 2 on the ps2 and it looked wicked boring. but when i got ps2 as a gift i picked that game up and was amazed at how truely addicting it was. needless to say i got into metal gear and hitman and a bunch of other titles after that…thus xbox became a dust collector…. I was extremely dissappointed with Halo 2 because they just over did everything IMO… and what i remember is the fans of Xbox were switching too ps2’s, because ps2 had more to offer game wise not graphics wise. The same thing will happen with this genre i promise you this. I know Xbox 360 is making the sales right now, but give PS3 a year to develope, and i promise you people will be switching over…and Xbox again will be a thing of the past. I have played both systems, and Xbox360 is an amazing console with really fun games, but it can only do so much. The PS3 not only has a main processor, but 3 sub processors which allow the programers to do way more graphically/visually and in 1080pi. Xbox 360 wont be capable of handling the effects that PS3 will in a half a years time.. look at some of the upcomming titles such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare (in which the game developers said they were able to do more on the PS3), need i say Killzone 2, and my personal favorite Socom: Confrontation. These are only some of what is to come, check them out. My ending point is this…buy the system that best suits you, but think down the road which system you will have the most fun on..Bottom line is PS3 has better technology, allowing the gamer to experience more from the game he/she is playing. thanks…ck
+3ampSky August 25, 2007
First of all, other than Halo 3, what games does the 360 that PS3 doesn’t (don’t say Gears of War, because that game is despicable, and Resistance: Fall of Man is a much better game)? On a separate note, Logitech came out with vibration controlers for the PS3, which are very comfortable by the way. And what is so great about vibration anyway? I’ve only ever experienced ONE TIME where vibration really enhanced the game, and that game came out for PS2. And let me tell u about the so called “Red Ring of Death.” People are still getting the Ring o’ Death on their 2ND GEN. versions! If the 360 2nd gen. has more problems than the PS3 first gen. then what does that tell you about the stuff that Microsoft comes out with?!? Just like Vista, the 360 is just a way for Microsoft to make extra money. Case in point the PS3 stands superior to the Xbox 360. And thank you undead hero for mentioning Killzone 2, and the fact that people can do more with the PS3 than the 360. Please read his/her comment, it’s very informative.
+3Cody August 26, 2007
both great systems in different ways but i lik ps3 better its way more reliable but pricey,and the 360 is not reliable but its cheaper.so overall the ps3 wins.so every1 just shut up bout this they r just videogame systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh yes Socom only the best ps2 online game ever. I highly recomend anyone with 150 bucks to go pick up a slim ps2 headset controler memory card and a copy of almighty socom combined assault. the game rules just as much as halo or any fps. Graphics aren;t dazaling but its JUST AS GOOD as any 360 game ive played w/ lots of feautures also.

People talking trash with no facts makes for a boring read. Please visit the sites of proper reviewers i.e Gamespot to find graphical comparisons of xbox360 and ps3 games. You will find that the playstation loses on practically every game compared. FACT. People keep mentioning exclusive PS3 titles.. the only real PS3 exclusive which is note-worthy is MGS4 and even that is under speculation for xbox 360 release. I have owned an xbox 360 for over a year now, I have had no faults, no freezing, no locking etc. Reviews for games made on both consoles end up favouring the 360. Maddnen NFL 08 Runs at 30 fps on PS3 and 60 fps on the 360. Playstation 3 is equally matched to the 360 in terms of ability to perform, many developers have testified to this fact, HOWEVER they all mention that utilizing that power is incredibly easier on 360 and this is why more games are being produced to a higher quality on that console. THIS IS ALL FACT and opinion has not come into anything i said so please feel free to knock this.
-1HELLO September 5, 2007
I think that we can all agree the two systems are both very good. And it is a hardened fact that the PS3 has much better harware. For the best part of a year i have been a 360 fan however i am thinking of transferring to the PS3. This is because 360s exclusive games which are suppsed to be sooo good like Halo and Gears of War just aren’t. I know thats a very bold statement but im sorry. Apart from that there are lots of really good releases that are multi-platform that nobody talks about such as NHL 08 and Assasins Creed.
+6In conclusion i am saying that i would rather have a console buit for the future (also which i can find on the internet in UK for bout the same price as an elite) rather than a console (360), which is undoubtedly very good now but in the future will have nothing to offer, just because it has a few supposedly good 360 only games.
360 yo September 7, 2007
I own both.. i would say i use my 360 more, i like it better for the time being. i really dont even turn my ps3 on. i also have a Wii which is just a joke, its only fun for 5 mins while ur drunk with buddies boxing.. haha… Well hands down 360 is better for the time! But i do think ps3 is going to be better down the road.. honestly i cant wait to get the next x-box it is gonna be un fu–en real!!!

I myself have a Playstation 3 and a Microsoft Xbox360.
+8okay first ill start with the Xbox360 about it’s advantages:good graphics,very easy to use marketplace(Xboxlive),fast downloads(updating),256 GB/s to eDRAMsmall console, comfortable controllers and apearence change(can buy skins for controllers and faceplates for 360 console.Now with its disadvantages:Can only play some xbox games(only the ones with,only on xbox)charges you for all accesories(HD dvd player,WI-FI adapter,Controller charger ect),looks cheap(plastic shell),small hard drive,overheats fast,cant play games with too much dust on it,shuts down sometimes,very loud fan,no web browsing,cant travel with disc in tray(scratches game) and doesnt have Free online play.Now for the ps3’s advantages:very convenient HDD(60GB),all major formats(CD PlayStation CD-ROM, PlayStation 2 CD-ROM, CD-DA, CD-DA (ROM), CD-R, CD-RW, SACD, SACD Hybrid (CD layer), SACD HD, DualDisc, DualDisc (audio side), DualDisc (DVD side)
DVD: PlayStation 2 DVD-ROM, PlayStation 3 DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Blu-ray Disc: PlayStation 3 BD-ROM, BD-Video, BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE),excellent graphics,supports all resolusions(480i,480p720p1080i and 1080p),faster graphics core speed(550mhz),Memory card readers(miniSD,Memory stck duo,SD regular and SD compact),supports 7 controllers(bluetooth),802.11 B/G Wi-Fi built in adapter,almost complete backwards compatability for ps1 and ps2 games(ruthly 97%-98%),fast floating point performance(2 TFLOPS),Bluetooth 2.0,Remoteplay(interact with psp),FREE online play,sixaxis controller(motion sensative)quiet fan and Very nice console design(chrome look,gives it a little shine).Now the ps3’s disadvantages:very slow updating,scratches fairly easy and lacks formats(wma),multimedia devices compatability and hasnt released many games(only about 20-30 titles.In my opinion the ps3 is the console of the future and the 360 is the console for the time now.They both have ultrarealistic exclusive games and have unique experience which the other console cant do.Ps3 vs 360,the winner is…………………………..Ps3

Hands down the ps3 is going to be the winning system, the wii is just a joke and unless they keep making new ways to make it inovative it’s going to crash and burn. The xbox is allready near the peak of it’s abilities, and the exlusive games aren’t even that good. I give it to you that bioshock looks amazing( Halo is just a joke there is not difference from halo 1 and halo 2), but your not going to get much better then that on the 360. It just dosen’t have the power to do it. Second of all with the 360 is they over heat and and get RoD. Don’t say this dosen’t matter because it does. Almost 1 out of every three consules have gotten RoD and many have got it multiple times. You also have to buy all the add ons for the 360, what kind of bullshit is that! as well as online play. With the ps3 online play is free, adn we have home. To me home kicks lives ass. it’s free and it’s 3D. I can walk around adn talk to who ever i wish to. You can’t say ps3 is just as fast or a little faster then the xbox because fact says the ps3 is extremely more advanced. and it supports 1080p, making it’s graphics look nicer. The ps3 is the system of the future being a full on media device, unlike the 360 wich is limited in what is able to do. Also tyhe 360 will be outdated in a few years, and they are ether going to ahve to make major upgrades to it or come out with a hole new xbox. Have fun buying a new one :) whilst my ps3 will im sure last me a good 7 year or more, and sony had the smart idea of making the ps3 an upgradable consule so over time im sure the ps3 will only get better with it’s hardware
+5Winner of the consule wars……… PS3!

I am going to save mad cash and pick up a used PS2, Xbox and Gamecube and ton of cheap fun games to go with my new 60 inch Plasma tv. I can get all three used with 200 games for the cost of a new PS3 and a few games and have more fun.
Then in another couple years get a used PS3, Wii and Xbox360 and tons of cheap games for the cheap.
PS3 is kewl but does not have enough games out yet. Wii is the coolest with motion control games I like that for more of a real arcade gaming experience. Xbox360 has the online gaming thing. Just depends on what you like.

Everyone here knows that if the Xbox 360 didnt have halo, it would not be bought. Just take a look at microsofts awesome OS “Vista” wow what a waste of money just like people say all it really is, is way to get people to buy vista so they can play halo 2 on pc

[quote comment="21634"]I don’t know what some of you are talking about, think about this, sure the ps3 stood up to the heat but why does it even get that hot. If the 360 cant stand the heat its because it doesnt have to, systems arnt supposed to get hot enought to fry plastic. And no 360 exclusive, ha. I’d like to see the halo series come out on any other system, then i’ll be surprised and disapointed because the other systems wouldnt be good enough for it.[/quote]

omg u ppl r stupid, the 360 is awsome, how is it oud…the system is on it a bit loud but believe it or not u cant hear it when ur [playin a game because believe it or not the game itself has sound. and ps3, wtf does it have resitence fall of man… halo 3 makes it look like fuckin barney for christ sakes so if its noisy then u should turn the speakers on and if it breaks they fix it so wtf is u ppls problem u dont know what ur talking about!

Okay, Pat lets not get so defensive. Please let people have there own opinions.
NeutralWicked_Raisin September 29, 2007
This whole thing kind of reminds me of the first generation Xbox, and PS2 war. Only even though the Xbox had more time it still fell behind. Never came close to the PS2. I do think that a valid point here is that in sight of the fact that a lot of PS3 titles are getting delayed it’s still managing to keep up, and keep the people that own them satisfied. I don’t have much time for gaming anymore but when I do have the time, I like to devote those precious minutes to my PS3. Not one of these “next-gen” systems are a step in the wrong direction if your looking for something to waste your hard earned money on. I also think that one of the main reasons the PS3 in pretty rocky at the moment is because they are doing something new with the way games are versioned and created. Most companies do not like change, they want what makes them money right now. If you give it time though those faithful developers who stand by the PS3 and understand what it is able to do will pave the way for your other less faithful money grubbing developing companies. Same thing happened with the unreal graphics engine. I guess all I’m saying is that IMO if you want INSTANT gratification go Xbox 360, however if you want something that will last, and continue to deliver in the years to come, then the PS3 would clearly be a better option.

The Playstation 3 ROCKS!!!
The Wii IS COOL!!!
The Xbox 360 KICK ASS!!!
The Fanboys for all SUCK!!!
I sold my PC for £450 , which I had linux installed on for office and blender
and bought a new Playstation 3 for £ 445 3 games 2 pads and HDMI lead , installed ubuntu and have been most impressed by the games, thus the PS3 surved the purpose I bought it for. You fanboys need to learn that your PS3 , XBOX360 and Wii are not better then any other console.

Allright to all u xbox360/ps3 bashers fuck u….i admit 360 can be hella unreliable considering so many people have had to send thiers in due to the notorious ring of fire is hella annoying but the game titles and online gameplay make up 4 that anger…while ps3 is 200 more it is definately worth the extra penny . I have both and i love them but im playin my xbox more because of games like gears of war and halo 3 but even so xbox360 may have better games now but as soon as gta4 comes out im sure it will be more fun to play on the ps3…so if u have somethin to say bout xbox or ps3 fuk u cuz they both kick ass just in different ways

come on people, this is silly, both systems r good and unique, lets enjoy them instead of bashing them, both have advantages and disadvantages…. we shud b happy for a variety instead of jus 1. they are made for us to play and enjoy games, me, as a gamer, am happy with all the different consoles cause i get a different experience every time. i dont own a PS3 or 360, i hav a pc, but i enjoy both consoles when i gt a chance to play them. i also think tht some people shouldnt confuse a console and a game, not all the games r good but tht doesnt mean its the consoles fault, blame it on the developers…….

You Fanboys are so blinded by advertisement it just shows how easy the world can be brained washed by $$$ without letting it be known. But, nobody can tell you this you all denie it. Followers just keep following an Bill Gates is gonna leave you high an dry just like dell pc. Keep this in mind DVD-ROM can ONLY HOLD A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF ENCRYPTION… example MGS4 is so big that it would take almost 8 discs to fit it onto 360 i threw my 360 in the trash only reason for buying it was I was to impatient to wait for the ps3 I hate the fuking founder of the box he’s not in this for pleasing gamers hes just taking on another hobby to prove that if you got alot of green backs you can take on the world…. 360 is just holding the game world back of what it could really be… Thnx Bill DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT JUST LET TIME TELL YOU

I think that the PS3 sucks on ass. Xbox 360 is cool, it has more memory for graphics, in other words, the PS3 graphics will never be as good as the 360’s graphics. Take it PS3, a 60gb PS3 for £350, or a Xbox Elite with 120GB HDD for £275? Humm..
Mr President of Sony, William owns your ass.
-6not a "gamer" October 11, 2007
I’m not a “gamer” by any stretch. I don’t own either system. I barely use my computer. I have never played a PS3. My buddy has an Xbox360 and I’ve played it and was impressed. Graphics were good and it was fun. Isn’t that what it’s all about? I’m probably gonna buy one of them soon, just for rainy days. I’m sure either system is fine as long as we don’t get too serious about this. This sounds like the cold war of gaming here. C’mon guys….they’re games! As long as I get to play Blazing Angels lol I’m happy. As far as durability goes? I’ve noticed lots of people complaining about either system breaking down, over heating ect. Well let me tell ya something. The graphics might be old but I have a Super Nintendo that I still play, that has more games than both of these put together and still works! Almost two decades now. lol All these are comments are fun to read. I’ll just buy what I feel like when the day comes.

hey jack the fucking 3shity dose not have more memory it fucking sucks ass they put out the elite because the ps3 was beter then the other 3shity so u can go go fuck urself.
+2Fingolfin October 12, 2007
The 360 has SHARED memory, if it has good graphics it has shit AI, shit Physics, well shit every thing pretty much.
The Cell has a set limit (256MB) so it has room to process AI, physics, lighting and every thing else except graphics which would be done with the other 256MB.
Just look at Guerrilla Game’s new lighting engine for Killzone 2
http://gamers-creed.com/?p=141
THAT ^ is why PS3 is the best. (and dont say KZ was crap so KZ2 will be crap cause KZ:L is a good game)
I’d like to see the 360 do that without crashing and burning.
I personally would rather the KZ2 BETA be out than get a 360 with all games included for free. (Unless i could sell it so i could buy some more games like HS and Skate and a few more controllers to pass the time till the BETA) Cant wait for UT3 either.
+4Micky October 12, 2007
Well i got an xbox 360 last year cuz it seemed ryte at the time, it was great i played all the games i wanted to and enjoyed the price tag! Okay time goes on and i know my 360 heats up alot, it broke 2 topny hawk project discs on me, first one on the first day! then i had to get 3 gears of war discs, and im not jokeing they were in perfect condition, i never even touched the console while discs were in, it was well ventalated and kept in good condition! But how yet it still broke my discs, and froze my games! By this point i was soo fuckin pissed, but still i let it pass, untill my xbox 360 broke and the eject tray would not ope, i sned it away for 4 weeks and get it back, it was my same old console only repaired, bout 3 weeks pass and it freezes all the time and i get 3 red lights of death, so im veyr fuckin pissed off and have send it away for the second time today! Okay now i hear tht xbox 360 has well better online play thn ps3, better games which i agree! But i was finkin of when my 360 returns tht i myte trade it in and help towards a ps3 for x-mas, now there only 350 for the high end model wif 2 games! My reason for this is because ive had fuckin enuff of this 360, no matter how well u treat it it will bvreak sumtime in its life cycle, i only had one ps2 for its whole life, i dont want to have to fink bout when my 360 is goin to break next! Now the ps3 myte not have good online play but atleast its free, better games will sonn come out for it, it just needs a good kick when people statring buying it, but really the only reason i wan a ps3 now instead of an xbox 360 is because it doesnt break, thts all i want for ym console to be reliable and ill be happy, if the 360 didnt break i wud be chuffed but no 2 years into its life cycle and still nothing major done, and this will continue till ur nerves break and u dont want to send it away again, or ur warrenty runs out!
Sooo plz help me in my desicion, is this the ryte idea or not???

Both consoles have their pluses. My opinion is that the PS3 is an overall better experience, but the 360 has a better selection of games. I’m a huge Rainbow Six Vegas fan. I have both systems and the game is much better on PS3, hands down. Then again I like Halo 3, If only they had it PS3. If I had to live without one, I’d get rid of the 360.

Well, brought my ps3 3 months ago. I have not owned any game yet :( Unfortunately there are no game worth 60 bucks for ps3, at least not for me. I rented heavenly sword and fall of man and played on it. I like both games. As some games are comming out now, like Ratchet and Clank, Asssassin’s creed, Metal gear, ff, I was finally able to justify myselft. I am always playstation fan, i own ps, ps2 and now 3. Ps3 has way more potential than 360. But i dont think ps3 will ever get to its full potential. I will be suprized if it even gets to 60%. Console war for this generation, i think xbox360 has it. But 360 is this generation console not next generation. ps3 is truely next generation console. but microsoft does know how to do business. They have the money. even though 360 is not even close to ps3, game choice, online experience makes them better at this time. Then again, i still brought ps3 for 2 reason.
+11) they last forever
2) fanboy
3) Its potential (I can only hope, they will actually use its potential)
at last, why freaking sony dont make a single game that uses its 90% potential and show the world what ps3 is capable and what is next generation console means. They might lose little money on making game so what, they can be making hell of money on console. and these lazy ass developers need to just accept the fact, technology always changes. They cant just stick with same old tech forever otherwise we would be playing tetris on our atari.

i own 3 next gen systems stop bashing on them, i hope we are all old enough with the name calling thing. There are pros and cons for all systems as there is no such thing as a perfect system, that is why there is such a variety…….well 3 next gen. But as a gaming community why is it that you bash the other…….you might be saying to yourself ” oh, this guy has 3 systems he doesn’t need to talk crap, cuz he own 3 systems”. Well i’ll tell you right now as i am no fanboy of any system. In reality each system should be thanking each other as one would not excel and obtain higher level of gaming without the other. i.e 360 pushes ps3 to do better. us as a gaming community need to stop hating on the other because without competition gaming in whole wouldn’t be as it is today.

I owned A first gen 360 – yes it broke red ring of death. Microsoft advised me that they have a 3 year warranty regarding this issue. So I got it fixed, and I also now own a PS3 (And a Wii ^_^). To be honest I play the Xbox more due to better games and the xbox live is better than PS3 Online.
PS3 does have better quality console and what someone was saying about dull graphics on PS3 are very wrong. The Graphics are much clearer on PS3 when playing an a 1080ps LCD. They are both great consoles, I think Xbox has good games atm, but I also think that microsoft with all the funding they have could have built a better console. Where as PS3 really don’t need to update (only their online gaming) for a few years.

To be honest, best move ever! much easier to pick up a chick in that ride then over xbox live bru’s! I stare at my computer screen for work(directional drilling) for more than 15 minutes, and I need a break. how the hell can you stare at a TV for as long as you guys do to compare these consoles. Unless used as a party console(like Wii games or guitar hero) with drunk buddies, these things are useless and would collect dust for me.

I do not know which is better, but i do know that i just sent my 360 in to get repaired for the fourth time. I just ordered a PS3 and i am trading the 360 once i get it back from the repair center. I owned my PS2 for six years without one problem. For a $400 machine to break 4 times in less than two years is just plain unacceptable. I hope the PS3 is good.

Holy sh!t, i cant believe that i wasted my time reading all that sh!t
its just the same argument “xbox rocks” “no PS3 kicks ass” there both great systems hell i just bought a PS3 (waiting on dell to deliver it) which i think is better but i still like the xbox, it is ok to like both systems
and for god sakes people use the spell check, the one thing i did learn from this post is that xbox owners cant spell worth a sh!t and are obviously dumb as sh!t cause they cant see that little red line under the word that is misspelled.
but back on topic i am a light gamer i mainly bought mine for the long winter months because my car is my number 1 hobby, so buy what you want but remember there is a real world out there, go explore
“Dumbass, lord focus is sold more than dodge viper, so focus is better ??”
let me dumb this down for you simple fanboys
he was saying that the Ford Focus (which is a car, you know real life) outsold the Dodge Viper (yet another car) but what one is better? personally i would prefer the viper (well actually i am more of a vette fan, but that is a whole different argument) over the focus.
and to the broad that was willing to give out her picture post it up i will give it a look

kebben November 2, 2007
“Dumbass, lord focus is sold more than dodge viper, so focus is better ??”
Yes, he’s saying that the only reason the Focus sold more than the Viper is because the Viper is more expensive. A far better machine, but more expensive. Which along with the 1 year head start that the X-Box 360 had, is why Microsoft has sold much more units. It will be interesting to see the sales figures after this Christmas, with Sony bringing out the 40Gb PS3 at a reduced price. I myself have done some extensive research between the two to try and figure out which one to buy for my children (12 and 14 years old)this year. With all the problems I’ve read about for the XBox360 (overheating!), I think I’m leaning toward the PS3 (40Gb unit). My main concern is what will prevail between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, as it seems like the battle between VHS and Beta VCR’s back in the 80’s (Beta was better, but VHS won out because of price). However, they are coming out with dual players in the coming year, so both formats could end up surviving, unlike poor, poor Beta :(

XBox 360 has been around for two years and PS3 for about 1. Xbox sales are still five times higher than PS3. So people still perfer the Xbox 360 over PS3.

Well, i think ps3 is much better than xbox 360. If nothing else, then at least, ps3 is much more reliable and use hdmi 1.3. Graphic is looking better and better on every new games comming out. Game libery is building up.
+1Just finished my cod 4 on ps3. It is awesome game. I played on full 1080p, there is no frame drop. Online is virtually lag free. But i can’t understand online though, too many kids screaming each other with their lungs out. cod4 is better on ps3 a/c to ign insider :D. so will be assassins creed. Uncharted and Killzone2, MGS 4 are vicious. It will blow away any 360 games. All of you 360 owner, have fun with halo 3. well, not that halo 3 is bad game but it doesn’t compare to cod 4. It depends on personal preference too. I like shooting metal bullet than laser light :D
Dylan November 7, 2007
Ok ill make a few points.
1.PS3 are factually faster, sleeker, better……etc
2.Like others have said the Xbox 360 has reached alot of its potential, but the PS3 has not
3.The Xbox has been out 1 WHOLE YEAR LONGER and its games are not alot better than the PS3’s
4.Halo 3 is not a whole lot better than halo 2 (yes i know everythings better just saying its not revolutionary.
5.All the Xbox 360 has is Halo 3 (not that great) and Gear Of War (sucks)
6.PS3 has fun, long, and creative titles like Oblivion/Skate/Assassian’s Creed (who cares if its not out lol) I know these are on 360 but the PS3 versions are better
7.PS3 has way more room to grow and to price drop
8.PS3 has way more processing capabilites and speed
9.Xbox 360 has obvious issues of breaking and just sucking in general
10. Blue – Ray Player built in is insane seeing as Blue Ray players cost $300-500
11.Yes, the PS3’s get HOT but ive never heard of it damaging the PS3 (plus if the system gets to hot it automatically shuts down
So long story short the Xbox 360’s shortcomings leave it writhing on the ground after the PS3 steps up.
P.S I don’t care about all the 360 fanboys out there, I’m just trying to state some facts for people who are considering buying a PS3 or Xbox
P.P.S The Wii is just like the DS, fun for a while but once you get past the “motion controls” and “Touch screen” they are kind of bad, and fall short of the high entertainment value and the multimedia capabilites of the PS3 and PSP (respectivly)
+3Jase November 7, 2007
Meh. It’s obvious. Just buy a 360 for now and a ps3 later when the exclusives come out and it gets cheaper (which it will do).
+2James November 9, 2007
lol, wow! this is quite the topic isnt’ it. From the comparisons hardware wise http://www.gamespot.com/featur.....?type=tech , it looks to me like the ps3 is a little better. not to mention that xbox360’s seem to have many breakdowns and when sent in they send you a refurbished system! ouch :S bluetooth and bluray make this a really great system. if you think about it for a minute 54gb bluray vs 9gb duellayer id say in the not so distant future ps3 will have unbelievably in-depth games and room for high end graphics. sure the 360 has different lighting and shading that appear as though its better, phht no no no. wait until gran-turismo 5, that is a small taste of high end graphics and in-depth. small taste remember. bluray is getting to be a high end seller. it looks like a big win indeed. 360 has a great likely unbeatable online feature i must say, hopefully with the launch of ps3 Home it will enhannce ps3 online a bit and its free ;). i guess we have to wait and see what takes place. Sony definately gets 2 thumbs up.

PS: Read this article to see why the 360 is technically better than a PS3 for *games*.
http://www.hardcoreware.net/re.....-348-1.htm
No one denies the cell processor is powerful, but unfortunately for PS3 owners, the power that is is useful for calculating gene folding is not so useful for video games. Matrix math functionality is only part of what makes a video game good (and this is what the GPU is very good at doing–of which everyone agrees the 360’s is more powerful), but the PS3’s design puts all of its eggs in this basket leaving no room for all the other stuff you need in a game. Also, even for the matrix math, the cell’s are not very good due to latency/bandwidth issues. ie: the numbers quoted for PS3 performance are theoretical maximums that can only be achieved if the system is running a synthetic benchmark (ie: is running under perfect ‘lab’ conditions that never exist while an actual game is running). During an actual game, resource sharing conflicts, bandwidth limitations between the cells and the rest of the system, lack of cache memory, antialiasing (which the 360 can do essentially ‘for free’) etc… end up slowing down the system down enourmously leaving the cells with the results of their calculations but nowhere to put them. Also, the PS3 has less memory to use for graphics (the PS3 can only use half of its memory for graphics, while the 360 can use all of it for graphics if it wanted), and the PS3’s operating system requires 3x the memory of the 360’s. All in all, the PS3’s design is great for many applications, just not for the application most people buy it for – video games.
Bottom line, if you want a system for calculating gene folding and/or a bluray player, get a PS3. If you want a system for playing video games, get a 360 which was designed from top to bottom specifically for this application.
PS: You will NEVER see a PS3 game that has graphics so much better than a 360 as to be even noticeable. In fact, you will end up seeing 360 games that look much better than PS3 games far more often. The whole ‘PS3 has better graphics’ thing is and was always a sham created by Sony. It started at E3 2005 when Sony put up *fake* pre-rendered videos of supposed PS3 games and lied about them saying they were actually running on the PS3. Since then, the “never proven, many times debunked” idea of the PS3’s superiority has stuck. Its a testament to human nature–people will believe what they want to believe even in the face of enourmous evidence to the contrary and no evidence in their favour.

To clarify, I mean ‘noticeable’ in a more extreme sense, not on the level of ‘version X has slightly more trees in it than version Y, or version Y’s texturing is slightly clearer’, etc… I mean something even a mom can easily spot.

What are you on about?. The ps3 is way better than the xbox 360 because which console has a built in blu ray player and which console has motion sensing technology built in the controllers and why do the xbox 360 controllers look like a chubby boomerang.So next time you have this ridiculous idea that the xbox 360 is better than the superconsole you might aswell get your complicated facts together.And by the way sony has created much more ‘technological’ game consoles than microsoft and a blu ray disk can hold more than memory than a standard computer.

I’m not sure what to by. Some of my friends tell me to get the 360, and others say to get the PS3. I really like both systems a lot. I think most of the people above are just exaggerating for their case. The PS3 and the 360 systems are nearly a draw. You could make a case that one is slightly better that the other. You can not say that one blows the other out of the building. I was leaning for a 360, then a PS3, then 360 again. But who knows, I might change my mind again. I NEED HELP!

@MH look at the offering.
+7One console is over one year old, so it’s old technology
One console give you a Nexy Gen Disk read reader, the other one give you only old DVD technology.
One console have motion sensor on the controler, the other don’t

One console give you the oportunity to install Linux and use Homebrew software, the other un on the buggiest system on earth : Windows
One console is bug free, on console have the red ring of fire (like windows have the blue screen of death)
Get the PS3, you don’t regret it.

+3Proud PS3 Owner November 12, 2007
The PS3 and the XBOX 360 are both great systems. I love both but when it comes to the Tale of the Tape… u gotta go with the PS3.
Here are some key pointers on both systems.
PS3
1. Has Blue-ray
2. Contains 1080p and an internet browser
3. Sleek and outstanding graphics
4. Lasts long despite quick heating (shut off by auto if to hot)
5. 1 year from now, the PS3 will be the best game console ever
And most important it is long lasting and reliable
360
1. Outstanding graphics
2. Also heats too quickly
3. Wont last for 5+ years
4. Great games
5. Nearly perfect online play
And most important is the online play
Basically, these systems are similar up until the fact where the PS3 lasts longer, WILL SOON HAVE GREAT GAMES, and the Blue-Ray.
+5Blue-Ray is the device of the future. DVD’s will be what videos are today in 5 years and Blue-Ray will take over.
Plain and simple, PS3 planned for the future and the 360 is all about know.
That is why I love both, but give the edge to the PS3.
Mike November 12, 2007
Note: I may pick up a PS3 at some point, however I’m still waiting for it get itself together. I won’t pay a premium to play bluray discs that may turn out to be (and are looking like they may be) the next Betamax. I don’t want to get the thing home and have it collect dust (as it is at the houses of the two friends I know who own one) without games to play. I want more choice in games. Maybe in a year or year and a half things will have picked up for it?
PS: Yes, you can play the 360 controller with a cable if the battery dies. In fact–while playing with the cable–it will recharge the battery in the controller so you can go back to playing wirelessly again without having to stop playing.
Snippet below is some business analysis of the PS3’s market performance:
http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs.....-2007.aspx
“…Nevertheless, the early collapse of Sony’s dominance remains something of a shock. I’m going to sound like a broken record on this, but I’ll say it again. Sony had several advantages in the previous generation relative to Microsoft and Nintendo: first-mover status; biggest installed base; near-universal third party support; lead platform for development; largest internal studio system. All of those advantages but the last one have evaporated, and the new advantages–the Blu-Ray capacity and movie playback and “the power of the CELL” (I’m putting that in quotes until I see three games that couldn’t be done on 360)–have yet to take on any market significance. We heard all of this talk at the 2007 Game Developers Conference about Sony’s commitment to third party developer support with its EDGE toolset and the like, yet here we are months later and the system architecture continues to be a non-trivial thorn in many developers’ sides. A host of 360/PS3 games have shipped first on 360 and then days, weeks or months later on PS3. Luminaries like Valve’s Gabe Newell and id software’s John Carmack are still openly critical of the PS3 architecture. (Yes, I know they made their bones on the PC, but still.) Worst of all, Unreal Tournament III for PS3 slipped into 2008. A single game won’t make or break the PS3, but until Epic finishes its first PS3 title, we have to consider their PS3 implementation of Unreal Engine 3 as unfinished. And that brings with it negative implications for all of the cross-platform games being developed on UE3.”

does the ps3 40gb have wifi?
Neutraland Ike November 13, 2007
Just a couple of pointers for you guys to argue further over. You mention how in a year or two the PS3 will be all ruling and come into its own. Well the Xbox has been out 2 years already so will be ready for a replacement about then anyway. Also due to the release time of the PS3 it is nearly £100 more expensive than the 360, if you were to purchase a 360 now for £230, in 2 years time I doubt the PS3 will still be £320, probably around the £200 mark. So wouldnt it be more beneficial to buy an xbox now, while theres games out for it then just swap it for a PS3 in a year or two’s time for probably no more than an extra £50.
It’s just the Blu-Ray thing that really puts me off the PS3, if it dies like Betamax you’re all in trouble!

The best game for me on xbox 360 was Gears of War and to be honest RFoM was alot better and its the first game i’ve played for the ps3 soo either the ps3 is alot better or i just happened to play the best game the ps3 is ever gonna offer. To me the ps3 wins hands down AND when i went into GAME today i saw that new game eye of judgement where u place the cards on the mat… wooowwwww i can’t wait to play it :D soo it’s just getting better and better :D

I know everyone wants to know now and christmas is coming and they want the best but seriously its what you like in a console. Graphic wise i reall could give less of a dam because they are both outstanding and have little differential, it depends on what you are looking at in graphics. The xbox 360 has been out for a year with is not going to come with nothing new except maybe harware. the ps3 needes to be given the same time xbox had to atually compare so the best thing to do is be patient and witch ever one has the game that you want to play and features get it they are both great systems but if you go with xbox make sure you have the money for online gaming because its the shit. but personally im going to go with Ps3 because of technology and the point it has MAD potential and developers havent harnessed the power of the CeLL so NOONE knowns exactly what the Ps3 can do yet.

The xbox 360 has been out for a year with is not going to come with nothing new except maybe harware. the ps3 needes to be given the same time xbox had to atually compare so the best thing to do is be patient and witch ever one has the game that you want to play and features get it they are both great systems but if you go with xbox make sure you have the money for online gaming because its the shit. but personally im going to go with Ps3 because of technology and the point it has MAD potential and developers havent harnessed the power of the CeLL so NOONE knowns exactly what the Ps3 can do yet. So get what ever fits you your the only one thats going to be playing it and maybe friends. dam my fingers hurt[/quote]

I am not suprised the PS3 whipped it’s ass, and sent it to the early grave it deserved.
I can’t understand why so many 360 fanboys love their console, when microsoft have dumped on them so badly with the poor reliability, high noise levels, and new versions of the console, with all the stuff they did not get ready for launch…[/quote]
FANNNN BOOOYYY.
I think both consoles are great. The Xbox360 is NOT noisy at all. It is a reliable System, which doesn’t break easily unless you’re an idiot and decide to cover it up in blankets (Just like my friend…).
The PS3 is also a great console, although it does heat up quickly. The games that look interesting to me have great graphics.

I don’t care what any of yinz say. PS3 is way better. Hands down. Yea Xbox 360 has a sick ass online play and Halo 3 is decent. But PS3 is still better. The controller is better, it looks better, blu-ray, 1080p, you can use your PSP with it, and the list goes on and on. People say they don’t have games. What about Assassin’s Creed. That shit is hard as hell. Plus Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Wait til GTA4 comes out on May 3, 2008. It’s gonna be the best game out. I bet the next Xbox will barely be better than the PS3 is now. And after all the shit people are talking Sony’s next system is gonna be unbelievable.

[quote comment="29698"]Well i got an xbox 360 last year cuz it seemed ryte at the time, it was great i played all the games i wanted to and enjoyed the price tag! Okay time goes on and i know my 360 heats up alot, it broke 2 topny hawk project discs on me, first one on the first day! then i had to get 3 gears of war discs, and im not jokeing they were in perfect condition, i never even touched the console while discs were in, it was well ventalated and kept in good condition! But how yet it still broke my discs, and froze my games! By this point i was soo fuckin pissed, but still i let it pass, untill my xbox 360 broke and the eject tray would not ope, i sned it away for 4 weeks and get it back, it was my same old console only repaired, bout 3 weeks pass and it freezes all the time and i get 3 red lights of death, so im veyr fuckin pissed off and have send it away for the second time today! Okay now i hear tht xbox 360 has well better online play thn ps3, better games which i agree! But i was finkin of when my 360 returns tht i myte trade it in and help towards a ps3 for x-mas, now there only 350 for the high end model wif 2 games! My reason for this is because ive had fuckin enuff of this 360, no matter how well u treat it it will bvreak sumtime in its life cycle, i only had one ps2 for its whole life, i dont want to have to fink bout when my 360 is goin to break next! Now the ps3 myte not have good online play but atleast its free, better games will sonn come out for it, it just needs a good kick when people statring buying it, but really the only reason i wan a ps3 now instead of an xbox 360 is because it doesnt break, thts all i want for ym console to be reliable and ill be happy, if the 360 didnt break i wud be chuffed but no 2 years into its life cycle and still nothing major done, and this will continue till ur nerves break and u dont want to send it away again, or ur warrenty runs out!
Sooo plz help me in my desicion, is this the ryte idea or not???[/quote]
I belive you should get a ps 3 if your a true TaCtiX fan youl get M.G.S.4 i know ppl r gona say it sucks, but they arent true game players they may be good at all of em but they cant learn to respect all games for all the consols.

[quote comment="30860"]Ok ill make a few points.
1.PS3 are factually faster, sleeker, better……etc
2.Like others have said the Xbox 360 has reached alot of its potential, but the PS3 has not
3.The Xbox has been out 1 WHOLE YEAR LONGER and its games are not alot better than the PS3’s
4.Halo 3 is not a whole lot better than halo 2 (yes i know everythings better just saying its not revolutionary.
5.All the Xbox 360 has is Halo 3 (not that great) and Gear Of War (sucks)
6.PS3 has fun, long, and creative titles like Oblivion/Skate/Assassian’s Creed (who cares if its not out lol) I know these are on 360 but the PS3 versions are better
7.PS3 has way more room to grow and to price drop
8.PS3 has way more processing capabilites and speed
9.Xbox 360 has obvious issues of breaking and just sucking in general
10. Blue – Ray Player built in is insane seeing as Blue Ray players cost $300-500
11.Yes, the PS3’s get HOT but ive never heard of it damaging the PS3 (plus if the system gets to hot it automatically shuts down
So long story short the Xbox 360’s shortcomings leave it writhing on the ground after the PS3 steps up.
P.S I don’t care about all the 360 fanboys out there, I’m just trying to state some facts for people who are considering buying a PS3 or Xbox
P.P.S The Wii is just like the DS, fun for a while but once you get past the “motion controls” and “Touch screen” they are kind of bad, and fall short of the high entertainment value and the multimedia capabilites of the PS3 and PSP (respectivly)[/quote]
gears of war dosent suck and halo three could have been better but 360 has GRAW2 also i am a huge fan of ps3 but dont drag on the games, stay on the consols!
-1Jamie, Ripley November 17, 2007
PS3 is undeniably the best console out at present, no need for all you 360 owners to get in a huff about it, its a fact, 360’s die….. all the time, i have heard some atrocious horror stories, i have yet to hear one about PS3. You just know that in….. approximatley 5 months time, the 360 will have died a death. It didnt have to be like that, it was a rushed job, a botched attempt at something that could possibly have been better than the PS3,
NeutralSony had time to see what was happening with the 360 and made a far superior machine, now as soon as the developers catch on too…. we are gonna have a thing of beaty on our hands.
Well any of us that have had the brains to buy one instead of the ramshackle clumsy oaf of a squealing pig that is the 360.
Mr.I have a life unlike you November 18, 2007
except for the few that just want help choosing which system is better, the rest of you are ***** nerds with no life!!!
+2Zenmaster November 18, 2007
True facts that matter:
1. GAMES….360 hands down. Yes, they had a huge start…but let’s face it…..within 3-5 years technology will develop so much BOTH systems will be obsolete and NEW consoles will come out….so who cares if the PS3 has more “potential”…what can it play NOW…what is available now? like I said….360 hands down. And if you think PS3’s “future potential means it will last longer….gimme a break. Soon as Microsoft releases a new console, Sony will need to do the same….it’s called sales. Things cannot last that long….the market is 3-5 years….and during that time 360 has, and will hold the clear edge as far as games go.
2. Blueray vs HDDVD….who cares? In a year or so you will be able to get a standalone player in either format for under a hundred bucks that will play movies 10 times as well as either console….so gotta give the 360 the edge here for not making me overpay for something I may not want or need yet….and may well go the way of Beta….or digital audio tape. Ever heard of those? Was supposed to be the next big thing some years back….people paid over $1000 for players that ended up going in the trash.
3. Price……Duh. 360.
4. Online Gaming……duh….see above. Microsoft has such an edge here I wonder why Sony even tries. Hello…..Microsoft makes computer software and owns the online world. How can you compete? Not to mention how well the 360 ties in with windows XP media center. i can stream audio, video, almost anything from my computer to my TV/receiver using my 360. Yes…PS3 can do so as well…..but as a dedicated PC gamer/audio/video lover…..the 360 does this flawlessly
5. Graphics….ok…here is where I really get pissed. unless you have a TRUE 1080P plasma or LCD, both systems produce BETTER graphics than your moniter can display….so hello…..MORONS…if u see a difference it’s in your TV…or in your mind. We see what we want. This is a FACT…..not an opinion. For those who happen to have a TRUE 1080P HD…yes….the PS3 will produce slightly….and I repeat….slightly better graphics. they should be kicking ass here, but the better video engine in the 360 ( a simple fact known by any gamer worth his video chip) makes the differences only minor. And the fact remains only a handful of PS3 games can take advantage of this.
6. Overheating. Both systems can be cooled externally for about 25 bucks. If this is an issue I suppose the PS3 stands up to heat better….but the 360 doesn’t get as hot. hmmm….I just spent 400-500 for a new console….maybe I can splurge 25 bucks to keep my investment…either one…cool!
7. Looks. Both are ok….and really…..who cares.
OVERALL…… In a 3-5 year window….as both of these systems will have…..the hands down winner is the 360. Price….games…and online play make this the hands down winner. If you are a PS3 gamer with a 1080P and really NEED to have a Blu-ray player NOW hoping it lasts…and can’t wait a year to save $200.00…and don’t mind a less than ok selection of games….and don’t play online….well then you may have an argument. and don’t gimma that crap about future potential. By 2010 the talk will be about the PS4 and the 720….that will BLOW AWAY anything these systems can do. For now, however, the smart money…and the smart gamer….is with the 360.

d_kahn November 19, 2007
I have played both systems. And their both great. Obviously every system is going to have its problems. Overheating or whatever. The ps2 was far superior to the original xbox, based on gaming controls and ease of use and just plain dominance. The field has leveled to the point where its totally equal now. I never had any problems with the ps2. But thats the past. Both new systems have their advantages. I love halo and that makes me want to play 360, but on the other hand if your a sports gamer then theres nothing like ps3. All the great games plus a ps3 exclusive “The Show” which is the dominant baseball game. I think halo is what makes people so attracted to the 360. Without it, microsoft doesnt have a fan base really, and nothing against halo, cuz its unbelievable but also the reason live is so popular is because of that one game. If you play madden or ncaa then ps3 is great online. Basically if you like halo, buy a 360. Ps3 does have gameplay and great new games, but graphics are great on both so theres no need to argue about that. Also, has anyone ever played God of War, possibly one of the greatest games ever created, obviouosly a different kind of game than halo, but none the less f-in unbelievable game. If your a sports gamer or love god of war buy ps3. If you like halo, buy 360. Otherwise, save up and buy both. You know you will eventually anyway.
-1d_kahn November 19, 2007
Also for all those worried aobut price. Buy what you want, but if you want a 360 with any storage space your gonna spend 350 at least(the new arcade edition 360 is a joke) so whats an extra 150 anyway. Price means nothing when its that comparable. Unless your 12 and dont have a job. Basically buy based on the games you play or what you prefer. Both systems are great and alot of fun.
-1Holly November 19, 2007
*Sigh* Based on sales, Xbox 360 and Wii are way more popular in PS3. An example, the owner of Civic Video here in Timaru sold his Xbox 360 games as he thought PS3 games would be more popular. And now he regrets it, as Xbox is soaring high above the PS3 lately. No one cares about HD DVD and Blu Ray and all that nerdy stuff. Game consoles are for games, not about the technology or the graphics or the look. If you want to play a console with a good all round variety of games – get Xbox. For shooters you have Call of Duty 4 and plenty more on the way, and Assasins Creed, you also have GTA if you are into those type of games. For sports gamers, yes you have your annual endless EA sports sequels to keep on buying. For RPGs you will have the awesome Mass Effect trilogy, an Xbox exclusive. Or there’s the Wii. For kids and young ones to play easy, casual and enjoyable games if they find the 360 and PS3 have games too hard for them, or even older ones who just want to play a quick and fun game. There’s a library of Wii games to choose from as well. And there’s the PS3, with plenty of great shooting games, the same as all other shooting games as all you do is shoot things and it gets completely boring. Yes I own a 360, Halo was just a shooter and it was boring. I am more of an RPGer and Mass Effect is excellent.
+1So, it’s only up to you to choose which one to spend your money on. It’s not about OMGZ!! PS3 BETTER GRAAPHICS XBOX 360 SUCX!. If you base purchasing a console on the graphics, please grow up, they are both equal in next gen graphics.
Or hey, even get some games for your computer. But as time goes on recent PC games require you to use Vista for better graphics and constantly upgrade to the next video card to be able to handle the performance of the game.
That is why consoles are preferred for gamers. If you can’t choose between PS3 and the 360, get a Wii or games for your PC. If you love online gaming, a 360 is for you. PS3 has all your graphics needs with the Blue ray and such if you care that much about it, but is lacking in the top selling popular games for now, and many of its games are on the 360 as well. I loved the PS2. And the Xbox. I had both, and they both had great games, nowadays the great games seem to be leaning over to the 360 and less of a variety for the PS3.
Finally, there is no point to obssess over the ‘console war’ in your life. Choose a console that you prefer, its not about the brand and graphics and technology,its about you and the games you are interested in playing. Both consoles will last for many years, and I don’t see how 360’s red lights problem is so overrrated. Mine had it pop up once, I reset it and it works. Consoles do need circulation you know, the 360 just gets overheated as does the PS3. I guess its because these gamers with problems with the 360 play for hours on end online and don’t take a break, and maybe some are faulty. Nothings perfect.
Ah well, off I go to get away from the computer, as should some of you too, no need to swear endlessly with immature comments. Hopefully you can own the console you like and enjoy your gaming!

I went through 4 360’s due to the over heating issue… I noticed the fourth one starting to have issues so I quickly gathered all the game and accessories and took them to the local GameCrazy and traded that shit in… 25-30% issues are the report on 360 issues… Yeah I had 100% .. i opted to get a PS3 and 3 games just with a trade… I used to swear by Xbox but not anymore I absolutely love the PS3…. Better graphic, better selection PS1, PS2 and PS3 games… thing about it backwards compatible… so for all the people talking about the limited titles for the PS3 need to lay off cause I was pissed when the 360 wasnt backwards compatible. Blu ray built in FUCK YEAH!! Amazing movies just had to get a HD LCD. Free online play. I linked my computer to my PS3 and have a house wide media center. Yeah I know the xbox does that too but this is way better. Built in wireless. (I never bought that $99 dollar wireless connector for the 360, big waste they shoulda built it in) HALO will never come out on PS3 as fun as it was but it always got old, oh yeah THE COMPANY THAT MADE HALO IS OWNED BY MICROSOFT. soo yeah no halo to PS3. I will never call any game an exclusive unless it is made but the company that made the system. It is entirely up to the software companies to determine the exclusive rights, unless contracts are involved. Dont get me wrong I love both systems but I am going to wait about another 2 years before I even think about getting a 360 again they just rubbed me the wrong way 4 times. FIX THE DAMN HEATING ISSUE, I HAD MINE IN AN OPEN AREA WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO KEEP COOL.

Wow it’s amazing the grammer you “Gamers” have.
Ill try to be as un Biased as I can for all you illiterates that means Non-Fanboy.
The Xbox360 has been proven to have better tech specs for GAMING, Do not take specs from microsoft or sony you have to take them from a third party like Gamespot or IGN.
Call of Duty 4:Just as nooby as Halo3(And if you going to diss it and call it gay atleast spell Gaylo right.) Call of Duty 4 has small maps AVERAGE NOT NEXT-GEN graphics and is boring after your 3rd match.
When will the FIRST next-gen game come out? 1-8-08 Frontlines:Fuel of War it will make Warhawk look like a wii game it will have 32+ players on the console 64+ on the pc has loads of vehicles,jets,remote control drones and something many games keep forgetting BULLETS unlike most games where when you fire a bullet a damage code is sent to whatever you were aiming at and hits at a set time so if you shoot at a wall directly infront of you and a wall 100ft away it takes the same time to get to each from where you were. And unlike Battlefield:Bad Company(Cough Cough another crappy EA attempt at realistic war game) the game is 99.9% Destructable. And no you dont have to worry unlike Battlefield 2 your tank will not get stuck on a pebble.
Which Console is the best right now:Xbox360 is TECHNICALLY
Now Im not saying that just because I like the xbox Im saying that because if you look at the Gamespot and IGN tech spec reviews the Xbox360 is ahead in all the GAMING ENHANCEMENT catagories, I could careless if Xbox had a web browser you dont need that for gaming and home is just for nerds to try to act cool and get some e-girfriend who weighs 300 pounds.
Heres my opinion on the Consoles
Best Looking:Ps3 Its black and shiny not bad.
Funnest:Wii it may not have the graphics but the gameplay is fun.
Online:Xbox360 Nothing can compare to xboxlive
Console to Soon recieve the first ACTUAL next gen and best game ever Frontlines:Fuel of War:ALL OF THEM except the wii…
If your looking for power get an Xbox but if you love the old time playstation hits like socom&mgs get a playstation
(I did not mention Killzone because that game is a joke I played it on my playstation2 and I had more fun watching the static on a channel you dont get on tv)

Who really cares. both are good. they both have the same graphics with some games looking good on 1 versuses the other. i have both and play both. as for the format war i dont care. by the time 1 wins there will be a new format to google over. play what you like. they are both good consoles. the 1 advantage the 360 is that is has the add-on drive. so if blue-ray does win don’t you think they can just add the drive. i have the hd add-on. but 2 be honest both hd formats look good. both systems add 1080p now. so you all fighting for jacke crap. but if my hd drive i’d rather be out 150 versus the 400 if my blue-ray fails. both have good games that are cross platformed. play what you want but don’t bash someone cause they like 1 over the other. who really cares because either way they make money off use. do some research and the fact sony took so long was they were having problem with the production. the ps3 is harder to prgram for. plain and simple. i dont care who or what is better both systems are good. i like the ps3 cause my bluetooth for my phone also works as my mic. by the time one wins there will be a new system. myself i dont care about having all those usb ports are card reader slot. thats why i have a computer. to each is their own and happy gaming. and yes i got laid.

The only reason Halo is not on any other system is because the creators and bill gates are too greedy to let another company profit from it. Ps3 is extremely capable of processing the graphics on Halo 3. With the Xbox working on 3 core processors and Ps3 with SEVEN; Its amounts for graphics are a lot higher and faster. And everyone else talking about GTA, thats only on Xbox because of a hefty sum to the creators who new they would more than tripple from making it multi platform. Halo 3 creators, just dont look that smart. Halo is no reason for someone to just buy the Xbox

NeutralWickedRaisin November 25, 2007
Hey mikeyy, I own a ps3, since launch, and not once has my system over heated, or even shut itself off because of heat. I have played on it for hours at a time, and never had any problems. As for your question about the B/C of the PS3 to the PS2 games, the emotion engine chip has been removed to cut costs. Therefor, the ability to play PS2 games is (rumor has it) run by emulation. The 40gb version should still be able to play PS2 games. Also, when you get the thing be sure to log onto the net and download the latest system updates. I’m also sure that if there is a problem with emulating the emotion engine a patch will be released to fix it. Hope this answers your questions.

Ok first off I’m going to say when it comes to Online gaming the XBox 360 Wins (HANDS DOWN). Xbox now has an online Upgrade to make the picture a 1080p (The already had the 1080i, but Progressive IS better and the PS3 comes standard in the 1080p format. Anyways, now that BOTH systems have CLOSE to the SAME amount of Graphics (And ANYONE that says NO WAY, is LYING) you CANNOT tell the difference between the two when BOTH played in HD on a WS using an HDMI cable @ 1080p. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL, BOTH systems look TERRIFIC.
Playstation spent ALL their money on R&D trying to get this Blu-Ray disc to work and NOT be able to Hack/Crack/Patch it. Well after hundreds of Thousands of dollars later it (Blu-Ray) was released. And WITHIN a month HACKED!
Again we are talking about Video Gaming NOT High Def movies and ALL THAT. I’m content with a Normal DVD with a $12.00 price tag to be honest! SO WHY the BIG DEAL about Blu-Ray? What GAME in the WORLD is going to HOLD over 9 Gigs (Which are the Dual Layered disks that they use now?)
SONY NOR ANY company is GOING to spend THAT much time making a GAME that takes a NON-STOP 3 WEEKS of playing to get to the end. And that’s what Blu-Ray could EASILY hold.
Bottom line, Sony made a HUGE mistake spending SO MUCH money on that Blu-Ray for the PS3. I DO believe that Blu-Ray WILL beat HD DVD but that is just in computers and how much info. that disk can hold. As for the HD Movie war, I could REALLY care less.
Price wise, Xbox MIGHT be a LITTLE bit cheaper, but with ALL the Goodies and Gadgets you’re going to spend about the same.
Winner is Xbox 360 – Sony F’ed up BIGTIME on this gaming system. When it came to the Original Xbox and PS2. PS2 was WAY and still is WAY better than the Original Xbox. And if people think that I am wrong, then WHY are there SO MANY discussions on this subject.
Playstation spent too much time and money on their Blu-Ray disk. ONLY to get hacked within a week or so! And SORRY but these PS3 titles are Ridiculous! Tell me a REALLY GREAT game. Metal Gear Solid that’s IT! And that’s NOT even out!
P.S. Everyone that says the Xbox 360 Sucks compared to your PS3. I’m just sorry that you got stuck WITH the PS3. They are SELLING like CRAZY on Ebay because the system (Yet powerful sucks and even though promised it has ABSOLUTLY NO easy and better online gaming than the 360 Live.

Ive owned both consoles, i bought the 360 when it came out and a PS3 recently. I was happy with the 360 and actually bragged about how playstation could not beat it. However after three months of owning it it overheated and i did experience the “Red ring of death”.. There goes that money i just spent. Then about a two months ago after playing a PS3 at a friends house i was quite impressed so i bought my own. I am so much more happy with the PS3 and ive had no problems with it at all. The graphics are much better and the whole gaming experience in general is better. Enough of all you numbers what matters is whats better and put simply the PS3 is. I still enjoy playing 360 when i go over friends houses that have it but im always eager to get home and play ps3. Im impressed every time.

The PS3 is way better than the 360 as it has got better graphics, cooling, quality and most of all GAMES!!! the games 4 the PS3 rule.
So what the 360 has halo 3 thats just 1 game whereas the PS3 has tons of cool games
so i think thats what maks PS3 all the more better than 360’s

I’d like to see the halo series come out on any other system, then i’ll be surprised and disapointed because the other systems wouldnt be good enough for it.[/quote]
all you 360 fanboys can say is halo and gears of war, i swear man lol microsoft offered to sell sony the halo series, but they refused becuase they knew they could make better games like resistance fall of man.[/quote]
Are you kidding me?
Halo and Gears of War are FAR better than Resistance: Fall of Man.
To be honest, there really isn’t a BIG difference between PS3’s graphics and XBOX 360’s graphics. The PS3 is better by a tad bit. But, XBOX 360 surpasses the PS3 because it has better games. What is a console (PS3) without any good games to play? XBOX LIVE is the most fun gaming experience available right now.
The XBOX 360 is cheaper then the PS3, and is a more “fun” system. You can even get an XBOX 360 ELITE, which is a black XBOX 360, and it looks much better than a PS3 will ever look. The PS3 will show smudge marks, and the games are more expensive. The XBOX 360 is a matte material, and is just flat out better.
AND for those of you that think there are many problems with the XBOX 360, get a NYKO Intercooler. It will prevent your XBOX 360 from overheating, and getting the “Red Rings of Death.”
For anyone looking for the better system, the XBOX 360 wins.
-1Rapidos November 29, 2007
LOL, you guys make me laugh. Have you actually read what you are typing? The difference between the 2 consoles are so small that arguing about it is pretty much pointless. So you can pull out figures about heat, graphics, specifications and what ever else you feel like. I bought a Xbox 360 when they first came out and tbh i was impressed with its performance and such things, i decided to sell it thought cause it didnt really do it for me. Im about to buy a PS3 to see if its any good. The one thing that stays the same is that, they are all based on PC components. Why dont you just buy a PC, its always gonna be better. Who really cares about how hot the thing gets, its not sitting on your lap. I bet if you sat down infront a big plasma tv you wouldnt be able to tell the diffrence between the 2 consoles, because there isnt much at all.

Omfg I’ve read pretty much every comment on here, and some of you are so friggen stupid. Anyone on here who has said that ps3 sucks is retarded. and anyone who has said that Xbox sucks is retarded. Their both great systems. Ps3 is way better no doubt about it, but Xbox is still alot of fun to play. You fucking autistic Xbox fanboys come on here saying stupid shit like, “Xbox has more memory for graphics, and blah blah blah”. Where the fuck did you hear that? The truth is, you didn’t. The facts are on many websites, go look at a technology comparison, and you will see which console is better. If you think the ps3 sucks because it has no games, that just means that the game developers can’t handle it yet. once they figure it out they’ll be tons of good games. and when theirs tons of good games, their will be lots of people playing online. The only reason anyone would buy a 360 over a ps3 right now is #1. Because its cheaper. #2. Because mroe people play online. #3. cuz theirs better games. well I guarantee you that in the next year, the price will drop, their will be more games, thus meaning more gamers playing online. Which means their will be no reason to buy a 360 ever! The ps3 is just so much better in every way. the controller is way more logical and efficient. the xbox controllers are so retardedly bulky and the buttons are put in stupid places. If you got a game like COD4 and got two gamers of equal skill, one playing it on ps3 and the other on a 360, the ps3 player would own him evertime, simply because he can react faster because of the placement of the buttons.. k im done.

Matty December 5, 2007
Everyone who says one is better than the other is wrong! They are almost identical in every way. The 360 has more games but if you have xbox live then the 360 costs more in the long term… The ps3 is a tad better for graphics but there’s about 3 good games out for it! I have a 360 and i am getting a ps3 for christmas. I think the xbox 360 has WAY too many 1st person shooters but the ps3 sucks atm coz of it’s small selection of games! I’m ending by saying there is no point in fighting over which one is better and anyone who dares say the 360’s is cheaper can **** themselves, the only way 360’s are cheaper are when u don’t have xbox live, but most people do, so most people pay more for the 360 (with paying for xbox live and the wireless adapter) than they think.

Okay, Here is my sincere review. Both Ps3 and xbox 360 sucks. As a gamer i want to pay the price for gaming console to play game not all these multi function streaming video or hd movies or yada yada. I dont want anything extra other than play games. I wish both sony and MS realize that there are million of gamers just want to play games. They could have gaming system out below 200 if they didnt have all these extra. Of course some likes extra. buttom line is, console shouldnt cost more than 200 with today’s gaming technology. Yes if you want all other fancy stuff, you should get a option to buy with higher price. But for me and million other gamers just care about game, i hope next generation console have those option. I do own ps3 and paid 600 + Tax :( Only the reason i brought ps3 over xbox is reliability. When i am spending over 300 or 600 on machine, i want it to last for a while. Of course, ps3 was laggin in games but not anymore. But i didnt want to pay that much thats for sure.

XBox 360: Good
PS3: More potential
PC: Best!
I’m not sure why anyone would want to compare a typical PC and an XBox 360 (or PS3, for that matter). A typical PC may not be able to play games as well as the consoles, but it does a whole lot more than any console can do, as far as running applications are concerned. The thing is, I build “Gaming PC’s” and there is not a console out there that could even come close to doing what a true gaming PC can do.
When a console can keep up with a PC that has a quad-core CPU at 3.6Ghz, with 8GB of system memory and two SLI video cards with 768MB of video memory per card, with dual 500GB SATA hard drives, Dolby Digital/DTS 7.1 surround sound output, and about any type of controller you can think of to connect to it, not to mention thousands of different case styles and games, then I might have a different opinion.
As far as the older post about heating issues, it’s virtually a non-issue with a PC . . . we do the liquid-cooling thing, and it’s silent, too! It uses a radiator design, rather than fans.
Sure, a gaming PC costs 4 times as much as a PS3, but look at it this way: You don’t have to pay a high-school football player to watch him play football, but he hardly seems an athlete when you stand him next the high-cost NFL player. In the same vein, you don’t have to pay much for a console, but it hardly seems to be much of a gaming system when you stand it next to a high-dollar gaming PC.
In addition, the average gaming PC also screams at all the other applications mentioned earlier that consoles simply cannot run?
Now, I gotta pick a side. Hmmm, XBox 360 or PS3???? Get out the tissues XBox fans ’cause while the PS3 just doesn’t quite have the potential that an all-out gaming PC does, it comes as close as I’ve ever seen, and once third-party support for PS3 games picks up as it surely will, the tide will turn. Below are some stats for the XBox 360 and the PS3 that I got off of Wikipedia:

Why PS3 graphics are a little more blured over than Xbox 360 is because Microsoft has more experence with HD graphics than Sony. If its just an Software issue then Sony is still learning about there PS3 limits. So far PS3 is useing newer technology that hasn’t been tested right at the time becauase it is new. once they learn there limits they can send game devolpers an idea how to make the games corectly in full 1080p with no blure and PS3 dose have a better Graphics card in it making it better graphics. i do know 360 dose have more physical memory by 256 Mb’s but when that much data is moving it enter and leaves as soons as it gets to the ram. So PS3 might run more effecently than 360 power wise. and both have the same Gh’z and FSB on the CPU but when you get down to it PS3 7 cell Broadband CPU vs 360 IMB 3 layer CPU. if i am not corect tell me but i think both of them are made by IMB or Intel type CPU’s. (IBM is part of Intel)
NeutralMepps December 10, 2007
PS3 is simply better all around.
While it did lack some games at its release, it is going strong releasing 2 to 3 a week!
In a year it will be far superior to the 360. Graphics are better. Like other ppl said above ‘ 360 does not do true HD with 1080p’
This alone sells PS3s.
As for cost, if you own your PS3 for 2 years, you will make the money back by playing online, which Microsoft makes you pay for.

This is a good article:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/pl.....ear-later/
“Graphics: This is a sticky subject for a lot of fanboys. A very common argument in most flame wars is that the Playstation 3 simply “has better graphics”. I’m not sure where that argument came from; Sony obviously did a good job of marketing the system. However, the argument is entirely false. The Xenos GPU on the XBOX 360 is superior the RSX on the PS3. This is one thing that didn’t change in the past year.
Xenos simply has more power – higher fillrate, higher pixel processing power, higher vertex processing power, and better memory architecture. If you look at multiplatform games and contrast the graphics on the two consoles, XBOX 360 almost always leads. Whether they use a higher resolution or higher quality antialiasing, games often look better and/or play smoother on the 360. We looked at a handful of multiplatform games a while back, and this was always the case.”
Honestly, the argument for the PS3’s “mysterious, magical, messianic “potential”" is getting old. You can’t play “potential”. Let me know when this biblical “potential” descends from heaven and then I’ll look at the PS3 again. Until then, let’s stick to the facts.
Also, the “it has all this cool technology” argument is getting tired. I want a game machine, not a blu ray player. Sure if I had to buy a stand alone blu ray player to go with my 360, the PS3 would be the cheaper system. But guess what? I don’t want a blu ray player. So don’t say the 360 is the same price since I “have” to buy all the other stuff seperatley–because I don’t.
Also, for what its worth, I bought my 360 in December 2005 and have never experienced any rings of death. And I often leave the thing on all night to let it download movies from xbox live. The only person I know personally that had this problem kept the 360 and the power brick together, stuffed into a little Ikea-type entertainment center with a stereo receiver sitting on top of it.

GREATER CONSOLE ?
XBOX 360 WINS !!!!!
If PS3 is such a great sonsole, it should be proven in the sales. Even though 360 came out a year before PS3, it’s not even coming close to a race. There are still more 360 buyers than PS3 ever since it came out.
If PS3 is such a great console, why do we have to wait til 2008 til we see the full effect of its powers ? ISNT A GREAT CONSOLE SUPPOSED TO BE DOPE RIGHT WHEN IT COMES OUT WITH GREAT GAMES, GREAT ONLINE SUPPORT, GREAT GRAPHICS??? Why would you want to invest in a $500 console (PS3) and gamble and wait a year just to see if it really will be as good as it is hyped up.
** PS3 IS JUST PLAYING CATCH-UP**
- Created PS3 HOME, because their original online support was wacckk compared to XBOX LIVE.
- Still trying to catch-up on the ammount of games they have. (XBOX has plenty and award-winnnings games)
- Sales ( Xbox is making money sickk !) ( SOny is losing money because no one is buying the console and it is so expensive to make a game)

I have the same proplem yoy… but im definitly going with the ps3 now. I was up so late last night trying to find reviews and what not, but the PS3 just seems like the best console for now and the future. I mean whats an extra couple dollars for free online gaming, blue ray player, and extra space that the XBOX360 doesnt offer. I mean I have played so many xbox360’s at college and it does seem like a good console, but it came out so long ago (obviosuly it will have more games and higher sales) i mean most of you guys are too young to figure out how the market actually works anyways. I mean PS3 was built for now and the future, like think about how the Xbox 360 is 80% complete but the PS3 is like what maybe 20%… when im laying down that much money, why buy something that is going to go obsolete in 2 years or so… I mean either way it is just gaming, i dont spend hundreds of hours glued to my tv a week, i mean those of you that do…GET OUTSIDE! or read a book, these games wont help you when you’re 30 years old with no job, college education, or wife… i just need a console to play to get away from studying for tests and other work at college

So I’ve owned my 360 Elite for about 7 months. First off have never had any issues with it. Online gaming on it is fantastic. I recently purchased a PS3 and played it quite a bit for the first week. I find the controllers on the 360 much more comfortable. I guess the PS3 controllers are bit to small for my taste. Also I was anoyed with the loading times on the PS3. I played Resistance:FOM and Heavenly sword, they were great games but as impressive as the 360 exclusives, Halo 3, Bio shock, Gears of War. Also the fact the I couldn’t use my Logitech Harmony 880 remote with the PS3 was extremely anoying. Come on how expensive would it have been to include an IR port. Anyways after about 2 months with the PS3 I sold it. Maybe in a years time the PS3 will have better games and work out some of it’s bugs. Until then I’ll stick with the 360.

[quote comment="24671"][quote comment="22847"]Also forgot to mention, I am mainly a PC gamer…while it may be more expensive, a PC will never bring about arguing such as these consoles seeing as how you can customize it how you want it and make it do what YOU want it to do. Console gaming will never surpass PC gaming as far as GAMING (not talking about integrating media with the family and all that junk) I’ve always been a console gamer, but I’ve realized that PC gaming is the way to go…if you can afford it.[/quote]
wtf are you talking about? take graw one and two, is the pc version better? fuck no it isn’t so shut the fuck up. a mice will never be as fun as a current console controlers.[/quote]

[quote comment="24073"]Jimmy,
Here is the problems with your speech
“basically xbox360 is the same price as ps3. wanna know how:
all the accessories for the xbox cost money($) ex.the monthly internet fee, cover to make your system look better, remote, and so on”
Monthly Fee:49,95 FOR A YEAR
Controller:Free
Remote:Wth do you need a remote for just use the on screen buttons
And for the so on im thinking these will go in that catagory
Mic:Free With premium or $15 extra with core(nobody even buys the core anyway)
Wireless Controller:Free with premium or wired with Core
Vibration:FREE!
HardDrive:Free with premium or $85 for 20gb(all you need) if you have core
“while the ps3 comes with free online gaming, free surfing the net, free chatting, and you dont need live headphones because it has live video with the people you playing with on your tv screen….defeat that microsoft. also the playstation 3 has the sixaxis wireless controller wwhere it has the motion sensor which allows you to move u character by tilting or putting it up and down and you can play it without the wire or with the wire and you can play your game while the controller is charging”
WebSurfing:Not needed use your damn computer
Free Chatting:Xbox Live???
Headphones:Why Not?
Live Video:$39:95 for camera plus it comes with a free mic,arcade game and 1 month of xboxlive Great Deal
Sixaxis:Not even wanted get a wii for that, Vibration? nope
Play while charging:Its called Plug and Play or get the charging charging station to swap batteries if you have 2
I have an xbox but ive played the ps3 it pwnz but seriously for all you ps3 fanboys who complain about the xbox’s breaking down heres some information
You hear about the xbox’s that break down BUT you dont hear about the ones that dont, I have a launch day 360 and it hasnt even had a single problem
P.S for all the people saying “I had an xbox but it broke and I switched to ps3″ thats as believable as the “Your our 100th Visitor click here for your prize!” ads

NeutralAlex December 27, 2007
Okay i got something to say
-1first of all i got a ps3 but i did the research first im not a long time fan. first of all when you look at the stats, Ps3 has a better CPU and processing power meaning that in the long run it has better potential for more integrated graphics. Also, the PS3 has Blu ray. although this doesnt matter as much, what blu ray is, is discs that hold over 5 to 10 times more space then a regular DVD. This means that even if you have dual layer DVDs, (which Xbox 360 uses) the blu ray discs will still hold way more space meaning that as games get larger and more complex, there will be plenty of space to put the games on PS3 blu ray discs but the 360 will be running out of space on their “older” dual layer DVDs. In the long run, Xbox will need to make a new system faster which will cost more and then all the 360 fans will be saving all their money to buy the new system that they purchased mabe a few months before the new microsoft system was announced. Also on top of all of this you can watch blu ray movies with the PS3. Last but deffinently not least the PS3 has an easy to set up online system that is FREE unlike the 60 to 80 dollar Live for 360. Oh and did i say that PS3 looks alot nicer with a chrome finish.

Alex December 27, 2007
Oh i forgot to mention that the PS3 supports all of the 360 Resolutions with the best being 1080i. the ps3 uses all of the 360 resolutions but it also uses 1080p ( 1080 progressive) which is a slightly more integrated resolution that “technically” appears better. Although you probably wouldnt notice too much of a difference, it still backs the point that the PS3 has better graphics, its just the game companies that need to adapt to the PS3 programming system and graphics potential ( as companies had to do for 360 when it came out ). Also the PS3 costs 500 now for 80gb and 400 for the 40gb ( 360s are around 400 ( i think ) and the ps3 has blu ray, the average blu ray player is 500 to 1000 bucks. i think i actually saw a blu ray player for $1300.

The Xeno processers on the xbox 360 are actually better than the ones on the PS3. The PS3’s better graphics is actually a myth, if you compare graphics for the same games, the Xbox is almost always better. Plus nobody gives a damn for the blue ray player. PS3 is a gaming console remember?[/quote]
Xbox is still going to be in trouble when games are passing the 10gb mark ( which by the way is already happening ( crysis 10gb required, call of duty 4 is around 8 gb ). when i mentioned blu ray it wasnt because of the movies, it was because of the disc sizes so dont shoot it down so fast. also the graphics are not a myth, i own a ps3 and i play on my friends xbox 360 on an HDMI tv all the time and i know that the 1080p is much better when it comes to ps3. also the “xeno” processor is actually not better. the cell processor for the ps3 is more technologically advanced and has alot more potential for better graphics, game companies just need to grasp the technology correctly to apply it for better graphics. i just want to also add that it always seems that people rooting for the ps3 on these forums always seem to know alot more about technology and part details then the idiots that have bought and used xbox 360. im not going to lie, if i knew s*** about tech, i woulda bought a 360 because at the current state, they have a wider variety of games and their online is more integrated and better organized ( thats what you get when your paying 60 a year )

I like the xbox360 and im very happy with it . i must say when i first had it i had a few problems with it ,but micrsoft gave me another one and its beem working ever since.
most people seem to think the ps3 will be alot better in a few years , but why pay for something that might be great or even will be, its best to wait till its great! than to spend all that money on a console thats not at its best. and if it dose become alot better you will probably be able to get it cheaper lol
xbox live is great for gaming too thats one thing i love about the xbox360 – ive havnt heard anything about ps3 online gaming, i think for a console that spendy it has to shine from the rest, ive not seen that happen to the ps3 yet.
+1louie December 31, 2007
xbox 360. yes this annoying piece of metal. every night after playing a game, after turning it off, it goes on by it’s self. it goes wild and i cant control it so i have to wait till it turns off by it self. yea, that’s why i dont play at night or else, i wont fall asleep. im at the time where ps3 has finally gone far better then 360. i got ps3 40g and it’s only $399.99 lol! i also found out my self that 360 is more fragile than ps3. ps3 cant stay burning hot for 24 hours.
PS3 got a free online feature which we call xbox live in the other hand but ps3 got their own free online service. it’s not active for now but they sure do look good in the future.
xbox 360 gamers was so proud with oblivion last year but then hey, i went to ebgames today and found the same game on ps3.
i dont really care about what’s inside them right now. all i care is about getting the good games and not worrying about my console. im even scared with xbox 360 right now. i feel like there’s a ghost playing it. so noisy.
my list is dmc4, ffxiii versus, enchanted arms, FEAR, and that’s all for now. 2008 is coming and it means that ps3 is gonna be the most amazing console there is. im and rpg gamer so go check the ps3 game list for 2008. i have and i gigled on the goodness.
BTW! ps3 got more useful features than xbox 360. xbox 360 is not really that bad but sometimes, you dont even need the extra features they put. just play the game. it’s a good thing you can access files during play tho. ya know, playing music while playing. i’ve not done that on ps3 which im not sure of but might not work as i suppose. ps3 got more uses and also a good thing to have with or without game.
ps3 is a cosole computer and xbox 360 is a harddrive console. that’s what they are to me. ya! xbox hav memory for files but that’s it. ps3 got hardrive too but hey! you can go online. in future there is a feature where u do buy/sell using ps3. credit card required lol. that’s for account only and sony will not charge you for anything.
my email is louieg01@hotmail.com
-1you can tell me how bad ps3 is and i can tell u all the bad part of xbox 360. im tellin. i got ps3 in my room and 6 meters away from it is xbox 360. so far im happier with ps3 as much as the dissapointment i had from xbox 360. i thought xbox 360 was soo cool but now it’s not. ps3 improved all of a sudden! 360 crashed in a sudden
louie December 31, 2007
my last intry why ps3 pwns!
it’s much better that you spend a lot now for a great cost. ps3 is expensive but you can use it for a long term. blu-ray, online service (buy/sell), multimedia, and much more. a blu-ray player was worth $1000 and im not sure what it’s worth now. lol! in xbox, you end up paying more than you pay for ps3. imagine this in 6-7 years. ps3 is no longer at it’s malfunction and now all we are waiting for is the online server and then we are done. BTW! we got mmorpg on ps3. ps3 is more to be realistic and xbox 360 is more like moving plastics. cmon ppl who own both consoles. u should know what i mean.
well, it’s budget wise, not hurry wise. 2008 is the expected time of ps3 and i decided to wait. some people think waiting is bad but it’s not. in real world, it’s all about saving. don’t waste your money over something you can buy and have fun with it. go to youtube and also check ps3 exclusives. 360 is not bad but it’s not much of a choice when it comes to longterm product. i also like playing mmorpg on my pc so i could careless whether i get a console right away. i took ps3 2 days ago and i picked the 40gb because it’s the time where it’s finally a complete product. if i was stupid, i would have bought it when it came out and got bad quality ps3.
-1louie December 31, 2007
also dont forget that wii consomes too much power so it is also far the most expensive among them all. lol!
NeutralTom January 1, 2008
Kay, I don’t get it, the only thing people on here can say that makes the 360 better is the fact that it has better games, and that its cheaper. Well first of all, ps3 has some fun games, and the free online makes them way awesome. Also the ps3 will have so many good exclusives in the next year. Also I went to my buddies house the other day, and his little brother just got a 360 for christmas, and yes, it is cheaper to buy, but if you want everything the ps3 comes standard with its gonna cost you way more, for example: Wireless connection addaptor thinger. Example: Controller charger, Example: Second controller is gonna cost you 20 bucks more than the ps3 controller. Anyways, this kid was stoked to play his 360 online, and then had to go to futureshop and spend an extra 200 bucks just to get everything he needed. its riduculous. When you buy a ps3, you get everything you need right out of the box.
-1Tom January 1, 2008
Not even to mention the cost to play online. So when it comes down to it, ps3 is way cheaper. Which leaves no reason to buy an xbox, inless your a fanboy. but fanboy’s already have them. so yeahh

Sorry, I started gaming when the Atari VCS (the Atari 2600 to you younguns) was selling with included game “Combat”. I also have a job history that has allowed me to experience just about every system that come around and I know the companies that produce gems and those that produce junk. Sony impressed me with the original Playstation, but the original had an overheating problem that required me to flip the system upside down so it wouldn’t overheat (spendid, Sony!). The graphics were far better than my Sega Genesis or old Nintendos. However, Sony in the 90’s went to crap on every front. Sony’s VCRs were junk, and when they produced DVD players, I quickly found that companies like Coby, which sold dirt cheap DVD players, far out performed Sony. To put it bluntly: I don’t trust Sony products. Sony makes junk. While Microsoft is infamous for releasing beta versions, they at least offer warranties or patches to correct their problems. Sony is nothing but a third rate company anymore. I will never trust them again. If you want a quality gaming system, pick Nintendo’s Wii, then Microsoft’s Xbox 360. If you want an unreliable product with a lot of bells and whistles that will almost certainly break within a couple years, then buy a Sony. At least with a 360, you have a three year warranty, which after three years you could replace it for under half the original cost.
Hey, I’m not a fanboy, I just work for my money and don’t wasting it on junk. I’ve learned from my mistakes.

Heres an unbiased article that I have found that compares the Xbox360 to the PS3
Playstation 3 vs. XBOX 360 – One Year Later
November 20 Carl Nelson
Subscribe to our FULL RSS feed!
It has been exactly 1 year to the day since we published our PS3 vs. XBOX 360 article, written for us by a friend of mine who is a lead programmer for a game company working on all three consoles (and PC).
His conclusion was a controversial one at the time. That the XBOX 360 pretty much owned in every category; price, performance, graphics, and game selection.
However, a lot can change in a year. Both consoles saw price drops, and firmware updates have the potential to improve both gaming and non-gaming features. Developers have had time to ‘learn’ the intricacies of the PS3, and several new exclusive titles have been released for both.
One year later, I am going to don my flamesuit, and take a look at each console. Let’s see if the PS3 has made strides! It’s certainly selling better lately.
Price
When our original article was published, it was just after the PS3 had launched. If you recall, they had two versions of the console at that time; a 20GB version for $499 and a 60GB for $599. To contrast, the XBOX 360 was available for $299 and $399 at the time.
However, things have changed since then, and both consoles received price drops. The XBOX 360 Premium received a simple $50 price drop, and is now $349.99. The Core version was
replaced by the Arcade version, which is the same as before but includes a 256MB memory card, a wireless controller, and some XBLA games on a disc. That version is $279.99. Finally, there is the Elite Edition (or as we call it, the New Retard Edition) which is exactly like the Premium, but is black and has a 100GB more hard drive space for an extra $100.
The Playstation 3’s price situation is a bit murkier, as models have been dropped, new ones introduced, prices were dropped to clear out old models, features were left out on some new models, and so on. We started with the 60GB and 20GB versions, and both of those have since been dropped completely. I won’t talk about all that has happened with the PS3’s SKU situation since then, as that would just confuse things. Instead, just consider that we now have a 40GB model for $399 and an 80 GB model for $499. Besides the hard drive size, the 40GB model lacks flash card readers, 2 USB ports, SACD playback, and Playstation 2 compatibility (the 80GB will play PS2 games, but its software emulation is not even close to 100%).
So now you can get a PS3’s ‘lower’ model for just $50 more than the XBOX 360’s ‘middle’ model. You can’t really look at it that way though, since what sets the Premium XBOX 360 apart from the Arcade is mainly the 20GB hard drive. And the ‘low end’ PS3 still doubles that (and aside from that, it is VERY easy to upgrade the hard drive on a PS3, but that’s best left for another day). Comparing the 80GB to the Elite, the PS3 is again $50 more, but this time the XBOX 360 has the bigger hard drive. I have always said that hard drive space on the XBOX 360 is pretty much irrelevant, but future firmware updates are changing that. With the ability to download XBOX 1 games, you are probably only going to be able to fit 2 or 3 of them on your Premium, depending on how many demos you have installed. Plus, if the rumors are true about the XBOX 360 also getting DivX playback, it is instantly going to turn into a great media player solution (it fails miserably as a ‘media extender’ right now), and thus will require a larger hard drive. Update: The rumors were true! The XBOX 360 now fully supports MPEG-4 Layer 2 video, which includes the DivX codec as well as XviD. However, it can only stream this type of video, from a network or external storage; as of this time there is no way to store these files on the 360 itself.
So after all that, who wins the price war? It’s still the XBOX 360, not just because the respective models are $50 cheaper, but all versions of the XBOX 360 come bundled with some games now. The Elite and Premium versions come with Marvel Ultimate Alliance (yawn), Hexic HD (meh), and Forza Motorsport 2 (yey!). While the 80GB PS3 comes with MotorStorm, the 40GB only includes a copy of Spiderman 3 The Movie on Blu-Ray.
It should be noted though, that the Playstation 3 should no longer be considered stupidly expensive.
Performance
Here’s a tough one. On paper, the Playstation 3’s Cell engine is more capable than XBOX 360’s triple-core Xenon CPU. However, as our developer alluded to last year, the XBOX 360 is much easier to develop for. In other words, a lot of the Cell’s power is going to waste. Although that is expected to change eventually, as always seems to happen with Sony’s consoles (compare early PS2 games to current games, and the same goes for PS1), one year later we’re still waiting for someone to fully exploit the system. Another indication that the PS3 is harder to develop for is the fact that almost all multiplatform games arrive weeks – if not months – after their 360 versions.
As we said last year, we fully expect the PS3 to win this category – eventually. To what extent, we’re not sure (very likely it’s only going to be the blockbuster first-party titles that take full advantage of Cell), and when this will occur, we’re not sure either. Obviously, one full year wasn’t enough.
Graphics
This is a sticky subject for a lot of fanboys. A very common argument in most flame wars is that the Playstation 3 simply “has better graphics”. I’m not sure where that argument came from; Sony obviously did a good job of marketing the system. However, the argument is entirely false. The Xenos GPU on the XBOX 360 is superior the RSX on the PS3. This is one thing that didn’t change in the past year.
Xenos simply has more power – higher fillrate, higher pixel processing power, higher vertex processing power, and better memory architecture. If you look at multiplatform games and contrast the graphics on the two consoles, XBOX 360 almost always leads. Whether they use a higher resolution or higher quality antialiasing, games often look better and/or play smoother on the 360. We looked at a handful of multiplatform games a while back, and this was always the case.
Again, we have to consider that Cell has the potential to help with graphics on the Playstation 3. As developers become more familiar with the platform, they are going to come up with new tricks to help games run smoother, and allow them to look better. However, one year after its introduction we aren’t seeing huge leaps (or even baby steps) towards this, except on a couple exclusive titles.
Game Selection
This category has two things to consider; exclusive titles for each console, and which console is better to play multiplatform games on. I think we covered the latter issue with the graphics category; given the choice between playing a multiplatform game on either console, the XBOX 360 is almost always better. At the very least, games will look the same on both consoles. At the worst, games on the PS3 will run at half the framerate of the 360, and at lower resolutions with less filtering and antialiasing. Also, multiplatform games are often delayed by weeks or even months on the PS3 (a testament to the difficulty of working with the system). Case in point, The Orange Box. The 2nd best selling XBOX 360 game after Halo 3 in October, and it is nowhere to be seen on the Playstation 3. And by early accounts, it is quite choppy on the Playstation 3.
So what about exclusive titles? After all, graphics and performance notwithstanding, this has to be the most important decision to make for most gamers choosing between the two consoles. It has been a full year, and.. well… things aren’t looking too good for the Playstation 3. As ScrewAttack noted in their Top 10 Exclusives for PS3, there aren’t even enough decent games to make a Top 10 list with!
Let’s take a quick look at the exclusive games that have come out for each system since we published our first article 1 year ago:

List of titles exclusive to the Playstation 3 released since November 20, 2006. Score in green = at least 80% on GameRankings. Score in bold = at least 90% on GameRankings. Title in bold = Overall Game of the Year contender for 2007
At the Playstation 3’s launch, the XBOX 360 had a 1 year head-start, and had such titles as Gears of War, PGR3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, F.E.A.R., Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Dead Rising, Burnout Revenge, Fight Night 3, and Rainbow Six: Vegas, all of which which were either titles exclusive to the 360, or weren’t made available on the PS3 until some time in 2007.
Now we can look at nearly an entire year of exclusive releases for each console, and compare them on an even playing field. I took all the games that were released after November 20, 2006, and found their overall scores on GameRankings. Scores over 80% were highlighted in green, as ‘very good games’ (contrary to some, I think a score of 80% is pretty good). Also, contenders for Overall Game of the Year were highlighted as some of the BEST games for ANY console. In other words, people will want to buy the console just to play these games.
As you can see, there were a lot more GOOD games for the 360 in the past year. While the PS3 had some games that squeaked into the 80% bracket, and one or two really good games like Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank, overall it has been a mediocre year for Playstation 3. Many were looking forward to titles like Heavenly Sword and Lair to make a statement, but those games pretty much fell flat on their faces (especially Lair, a total failure).
XBOX 360 on the other hand saw some excellent titles, including some that may be considered among the best games for any console, such as Halo 3, BioShock, and Mass Effect (of course, we all know that none of these are likely going to topple Mario Galaxy for this award, but oh well).
So for game selection, XBOX 360 not only offers a better experience with multiplatform games, but their exclusive titles are more often better than those on PS3, and in some cases extremely good.
Online Support
Let’s face it, it’s going to be tough for anyone to beat XBOX Live. The interface is excellent, the interaction between players is superb, and extra features like achievements add the small touches that make playing games on the XBOX 360 just a little bit better for certain people.
Playstation Network has the sole advantage of being free for the most part (game makers are still allowed to charge for online play if they want, such as MMO games, etc). However, to play any game at all on XBOX Live, you must subscribe at $50 per year at its cheapest.
One drastic disadvantage of the Playstation 3 is the fact that you cannot send messages to your friend from within a game; in order to reach the XMB or ‘main menu’ of the PS3, you need to quit out of the game you are playing, and go to your friends list that way. There is nothing in the way of voice chat (with the exception of Warhawk), and no cross-game invite system. With XBOX Live, hit one button and you can reach your friends right away. Send them a voice message, or text message, or invite them to the server you’re playing on. You can even add your MSN/Live Messenger list to the 360, and talk to your non-gaming friends any time you want.
Profiles are also more robust on XBOX Live – each gamer has their own tag, their own custom avatar, a list of games they recently played, some achievements they have accomplished, and an overall score to give an idea of how experienced you are. All of this can be viewed in-game. Also, XBOX Live extends to XBOX.com, where you can view and edit profiles from your PC if you prefer.
On PSN, you get an icon, and a small about-me section. None of this can be viewed in-game, and there is no way to tell anything else about the gamer. PSN does not extend to an online version that can be viewed from the PC, either.
With PSN Home coming (the beta is rumored to be starting in December), this section may drastically change. Sony is banking on Home being a huge reason to play games on the Playstation 3 as opposed to the XBOX 360. Public details on Home have been sketchy at best though, so we shall see how things pan out.
XBOX Live Arcade vs. Playstation Store
Another thing to consider is buying games online. Both Sony and Microsoft offer various types of games to download online, and add several each week. Selections range from old-school games from previous systems to refreshed versions of classics, to brand new titles from small publishers and individual designers.
XBLA wins in pretty much every category though; many of PSN’s games are decent, but nearly exclusively from Sony themselves; it seems like it’s much easier for an indie publisher to get their game onto XBLA than PSN. XBLA offers a wide selection of retro arcade games, adding features like online play and leaderboards to many of them. Some of these games have become sleeper hits, like Pac-Man Championship Edition.
One area where the PSN excels (or at least has the ability to) is that Playstation 1 games can be ported directly to a PSP, along with game save files. Best of all, save files can go back and forth. If you are playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and want to take it on the road, simply connect your PSP, transfer the save file, and play it from there. Then when you come home, transfer the save file back to the PS3, and you are set. Unfortunately, there are very few Playstation 1 games available in the US.
Multimedia
Here’s one area that my friend didn’t really consider last year, as he is mostly concerned with making games for the systems, and not watching movies on them. I bought my XBOX 360 around the middle of 2006, and my PS3 at launch, so I am talking about my personal experience here.
For movies, the PS3 wins hands down. Not only does it have integrated Blu-Ray capability, it is a far superior movie player to begin with. We also must consider that the PS3 can be had for as little as $399, while an XBOX 360 with HD-DVD player will cost at least $530 (Arcade Edition notwithstanding, since nobody in their right mind is going to buy an XBOX 360 without a hard drive).
Regardless of comparing playback image quality, sound quality, and interface, there is one thing that gives the XBOX 360 an automatic “zero” in every category – it is excruciatingly LOUD. There is ONE thing that I HATE when I try to watch a movie, and that’s background noise. I alway go out of the way to make sure my living room is utterly quiet when I sit down to watch a movie, and the sickening screech of the 360’s DVD drive and fans makes this completely impossible.
PS3, on the other hand, is completely quiet during movie playback. Whether you are watching a Blu-Ray, DVD, or other video format, the PS3 isn’t going to make a peep.
I also much prefer the PS3’s interface to the bright, flashy, sluggish interface of the XBOX 360. Turning on the PS3 to watch a high-definition movie feels like a classy, almost ‘high end’ experience. In contrast, fire up the XBOX 360 and you are treated to a whining fan, screeching DVD drive, and bright flashy colours on your screen. The console itself looks more like a ‘toy’ and the external USB drive required for HD-DVD only extends the ‘low end’ feel.
Then you have the other media formats. XBOX 360 was only ever meant to be an ‘Multimedia Extender’. In other words, it was expected that by this time, most people would have a PC dedicated to hosting multimedia using either Windows Media Center or Vista Home. The 360 would pull the files off this dedicated media PC over the network. Therefore, the 360’s multimedia capabilities are actually quite poor. It supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and MPEG-4 AVC (h.264), but only in the WMV, MOV, and TS container formats. It supports DLNA, so is able to discover files on DLNA software like Windows Vista.
Playstation 3 was intended to be an all-in-one media center, and the design shows. At first, it did not support DLNA, but we broke the story when DLNA-supporting firmware was released, allowing multimedia to be streamed from Vista to the Playstation 3. All the major codecs are supported by Playstation 3; MPEG-1, MPEG-2, Motion JPEG (commonly found with digital cameras) through AVI, MOV, MP4, and TS container formats. It will even play AVCHD files directly (M2TS files – the same format Blu-Ray uses).
MP4 support is seen as the future of video, and the PS3 has very good support of this. It supports MPEG-4 AAC audio, MPEG-4 Simple Profile video, as well as Main and High profile (also known as h.264). In a big story last week, it was announced that the PS3 would soon be supporting the DivX codec, through the AVI file container. This will be the first time a non-modified console supports this highly popular format. Here’s hoping for MKV h.264 support! ;)
Audio playback is close, with the PS3 having the minor advantage of supporting SACD, although this is no longer supported with the 40GB version. It’s been sad to see Sony drop many of the advantages they held over the 360 in the past year. Playstation 3 will always be better as a standalone music player since it doesn’t sound like a jet engine, but the 360 has the great advantage of being able to access music from within any game.
I have viewed photos on both consoles, and find the PS3 to be a more pleasant experience. Again, the XMB is so much better than XBOX 360’s tabbed Dashboard, and it’s nice to view pictures without noisy fans blasting away in the background. The PS3 supports some printers directly, which may or may not be useful (I can’t imagine using it as a photo printer, but someone might. probably someone in Japan).
Other Considerations
There are some other subjective topics to discuss that don’ t necessarily fit into our other categories.
Import Gaming – The PS3 excels in this, as all games are currently unlocked and can be played on systems from any region. This makes importing games from other countries a breeze. Furthermore, you are free to create PSN accounts for any country, allowing you to download demos from other regions. You won’t be able to make purchases without a credit card from those countries however.
XBOX 360 has many games that are exclusive to Japan and Europe, but with region encoding, they are only playable on consoles from their respective regions. Going the other way, many titles that get a worldwide release don’t have region encoding at all, so owning a 360 outside of the US isn’t so bad if you still want to play US games. Take it from me: import gaming goes both ways!
Piracy – A touchy subject, but one that must be considered. Although PS3 ISO’s are being released, I’m pretty sure that its game copy protection has yet to be cracked. XBOX 360 on the other hand, has a large scene going for it, and that has to be a consideration for many people deciding on which console to buy. Be warned though; Microsoft actively fights piracy, and has been known to ban consoles from connecting to XBOX Live if a mod is detected!
Folding@Home – This may not be a big deal to you, but perhaps it should be mentioned. If you are interested in joining a worldwide supercomputer cluster capable of 700 teraflops, and want to help find the cure for diseases like cancer, the PS3 may be worthy of consideration. For most though, this function doesn’t make a difference at all.
PSP Connectivity – With the 1.8 firmware release, the Playstation 3 received some excellent features, not the least of which is the ability to stream media to the PSP – anywhere in the world. Once two devices are partnered, you can turn on the PS3 from your PSP (as of firmware 2.0) and access all the files on it with the PSP – including HD video. This is where Microsoft got things wrong by trying to turn the 360 into a media extender. Sony decided to make the Playstation 3 a media hub, extending to portable devices like the PSP. A very wise decision, and the features get even better with time.
Reliability – Here’s a huge one that must be considered – XBOX 360’s made prior to October 2007 are pretty much considered time bombs. It’s not a matter of whether your console will stop working, it’s a matter of when. The 360 has such a high failure rate that Microsoft spent over $1 billion to extend everyone’s warranty by 3 years. While having a long warranty is nice, knowing that it’s only a matter of time before the console dies, nobody wants to have a dead console in the first place. Newer units seem to be okay, so far (knock on wood).
Backwards Compatibility – This was one of the major advantages of the Playstation 3 when it first launched last year. Since it had all the necessary hardware from the Playstation 2, it would be fully compatible with all PS2 games. Additionally, PS2 games would eventually be upsampled, improving their image quality for newer HD displays. PS2 owners could safely pass along their old console, knowing that their game library would still be accessible, and look better than ever. However, as Sony started revising hardware to cut costs, backwards compatibility suffered. First to go was the “Emotion Engine” CPU in the 80GB version. Some games were still supported through software emulation, since the “Graphics Synthesizer” GPU remained intact; reports show 80GB backwards compatibility to be around 50%. With the latest version of the PS3 (40 GB), the GPU was also removed, and as of now there is no way to emulate PS2 games on these systems. Although it’s probably not impossible to emulate the GPU with the PS3’s hardware, nothing has been announced and I wouldn’t get my hopes up of this ever happening.XBOX 360’s backwards compatibility is nothing to brag about either; consider it at about the level of the 80GB PS3. Many XBOX 1 games will work, but often have problems.
Display Connectivity – The Playstation 3 wasn’t the only one to get some hardware revisions in the past year. One of the largest criticisms of the XBOX 360 was the fact that it had no digital video output. However, all consoles released after September 2007 (including the low-end Arcade version) include an HDMI 1.2 digital port. Only the Elite comes with a cable in-box.
Open Source Operating Systems – Again, this may not be something that will sway your buying decision. While both consoles have some form of Linux support, only the Playstation 3 officially supports it out of the box. XBOX 360 has a project titled Free60 that requires you to hack your system and use vulnerable kernels. If your system has later firmware updates, it may be entirely impossible to do this. On the Playstation 3, you simply select an option in the console, and from there you can install one of several distributions that support it, including Yellow Dog (the distro officially supported by Sony), Ubuntu, Fedora Core 7, Gentoo, and Debian.
Conclusion
Recently I received an email from someone, asking if I still “stand by” our PS3 vs. XBOX 360 review. He asked if the PS3 became better in the past year.
I think after looking back a year, more than anything the statements we made were justified. The Playstation 3 didn’t get much better in a year, and in fact the hardware got worse with each revision. It started out with full PS2 backwards compatibility, and now it has none at all. It started out with SACD support, and now it doesn’t support it at all.
However, it also got better in many ways; more than anything, it’s an excellent multimedia hub. With multiple video format support (and DivX AVI support coming), and the ability to stream to the PSP, it’s clearly superior in that regard. Furthermore, it’s a better home video player, since it not only has a better interface for such things, but it doesn’t sound like a jet engine taking off.
But in the past year, we haven’t seen a single HUGE title drop for the PS3. The closest thing is a very good platformer/shooter with excellent graphics. Instead, exclusive games get delayed (MGS4), or end up failing miserably (Lair), or do not live up to expectations (Heavenly Sword).
Multiplatform games continued to be developed on the XBOX 360, then ported to the PS3. I’m sure that developers aim for simultaneous releases in most cases, but this rarely happens. When the PS3 versions of the games do come out, they often suffer from low framerates and poor image quality.
As of now, there is only one multiplatform game being developed on the PS3 later to be ported to 360, and that’s Haze. Update: Haze is now going to be PS3-exclusive. We’ll see how things go with that in a few weeks. I have heard that Unreal Tournament 3 is looking real good on PS3 too, although I’m sure that’s more of a case of Epic’s confidence that they can knock out an XBOX 360 version in a short period of time. The only major issue they are likely to come across is mod compatibility on the 360.
There will always be the speculation that the Playstation 3’s performance will increase; that it is only a matter of time. After all, we saw that happen with both the PS1 and PS2. Since Sony’s systems are powerful yet inherently difficult to work with, this always seems to happen. However, in the year since its release, the only titles to really WOW us graphics-wise are two Sony-published games, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank.
Sony has yet to catch up with XBOX 360 in terms of online features, although Home has interesting potential. We’ll have to wait and see if it is feasible as an online interface, or just a silly gimmick. This is one area where we should at least see the PS3 get some vast improvements in the years to come.
So do I stand by our statements we made last year? Absolutely. I’m happy that we were ‘proven right’ in the events of the past year. Do I think XBOX 360 is clearly the better console to buy? Not by a long shot. Each console has their own advantages and disadvantages. Read through this article, and you should be aware of most of them. From there, you can decide which one is right for you.

i could make my own XBOX 360 just get a box and stick an X on it. I have two cousins who have sold their 360’s for playstation 3’s and another relative who has just sold his XBOX 360 for a ps3 after he saw my ps3. XBOX doesn’t win they dont even compete when there up against PS3.

This is proof that the ps3 is 1,000,000 times more durable and reliable than the xbox 360…. I,ve had it for about 5 months and it has fell down a flight of 7 stairs and has been dropped into a puddle of water on the pavement while my cousin was getting out of his car and it still works like NEW!

Greetings! I’ve been reading this thread and first of all, i have to say that there’s no need to attack the owners of other consoles… that goes for both PS3 and XBOX360 owners (even some PC enthusiasts are quite aggresive with their comments). IMO, every entertainment system features a lot of advantages and disadvantages, so i’m sure that anyone can feel confident of having made a good choice.
+3However, i personally tend to prefer the PS3 for many reasons. Right now, there aren’t much games for the console, but you can always play your collection of PS2 and even PS1 games. I always look for replay value in a game and most games for sony consoles have plenty of this, besides the fact that the complete PS1+PS2+PS3 game library has to be overwhelming when compared to that of the XBOX… and not to forget that in the XBOX360 you can’t play most XBOX games. I own a PS3 with a 60GB hdd and i’m glad i chose that version. The disc is big and if this is wrong for you, then go buy a bigger one :) it’s a regular SATA disc, so that shouldn’t be an issue. But, the important thing here is the presence of the presence of the Emotion Engine chip which enables you to have backwards compatibility. I admit it’s a shame that newer consoles won’t have it :(
One BIG PLUS for the console is the possibility of installing an alternate OS. This is just great! You can install linux on your PS3, and run emulators of older consoles… Presto! you can have your whole collection of games in one single console.
XBOX live is truly great, i can’t deny it, but the only reason i’d buy one is gears of war… and i really don’t want or need to because there’s a PC version which btw is superior (at least for me). This game is pretty good, however it tends to be boring as ANY similar game… you’re forced to play cooperative to enhance the experience, otherwise you’ll quit soon.
Having discarded GoW as the only blinking plus in the console, i’m glad i bought my PS3. I’m just eagerly waiting for it’s game library to broaden… after that, i’ll be the happiest hardcore gamer on earth :) Good luck to those who are in the process of choosing a console; the only advice i can give you: trust your decision, no matter what others have to say.

[quote comment="33069"][quote comment="33068"][quote comment="33065"]Oh i forgot to mention that the PS3 supports all of the 360 Resolutions with the best being 1080i. the ps3 uses all of the 360 resolutions but it also uses 1080p ( 1080 progressive) which is a slightly more integrated resolution that “technically” appears better. Although you probably wouldnt notice too much of a difference, it still backs the point that the PS3 has better graphics, its just the game companies that need to adapt to the PS3 programming system and graphics potential ( as companies had to do for 360 when it came out ). Also the PS3 costs 500 now for 80gb and 400 for the 40gb ( 360s are around 400 ( i think ) and the ps3 has blu ray, the average blu ray player is 500 to 1000 bucks. i think i actually saw a blu ray player for $1300.

The Xeno processers on the xbox 360 are actually better than the ones on the PS3. The PS3’s better graphics is actually a myth, if you compare graphics for the same games, the Xbox is almost always better. Plus nobody gives a damn for the blue ray player. PS3 is a gaming console remember?[/quote]
Xbox is still going to be in trouble when games are passing the 10gb mark ( which by the way is already happening ( crysis 10gb required, call of duty 4 is around 8 gb ). when i mentioned blu ray it wasnt because of the movies, it was because of the disc sizes so dont shoot it down so fast. also the graphics are not a myth, i own a ps3 and i play on my friends xbox 360 on an HDMI tv all the time and i know that the 1080p is much better when it comes to ps3. also the “xeno” processor is actually not better. the cell processor for the ps3 is more technologically advanced and has alot more potential for better graphics, game companies just need to grasp the technology correctly to apply it for better graphics. i just want to also add that it always seems that people rooting for the ps3 on these forums always seem to know alot more about technology and part details then the idiots that have bought and used xbox 360. im not going to lie, if i knew s*** about tech, i woulda bought a 360 because at the current state, they have a wider variety of games and their online is more integrated and better organized ( thats what you get when your paying 60 a year )

I have played both the ps3 and xbox 360
i love both
however i have to go with the ps3 on this one because its better
Ps3:
- better graphics (for some thnigs u need to set the settings for the graphics to make it look even better)
- may not have as many games but has all the good games 360 has except for halo 3 and gears of war
- has blu-rayy
- is better overall
halo is overrated and so is gears of war
also, in a short amount of time, ps3 will get allot more games n odoubt and will outsell the 360
360’s are 350 $ and the 40g ps3 is 400$ and the 80g is 500$
plus….u need to buy xbox live for 360 and it often gets messed up
for christmas i got a ps3 and it is awesome

The Xbox’s graphics are the same even better than the PS3 if you compare them. PS3 having better graphics is just a myth. If you compare a game, the graphics of the XBOX is just as good. I do admit that Halo and GEARs are somewhat overrated but the PS3 doesn’t have any GREAT games that comes to mind. XBOX also has Mass Effect, Bioshock and Crackdown just to name a few. They’ve been saying that the PS3 will be getting better games for over a year now. Blue-ray is not all that it is hyped up to be and I don’t know any of my friends who had any troubles whatsoever with their XBOX 360s.

ok after 1 hour of reading all of your comments i got few things to say…
first of all to all those fanboys, stop flaming each other i mean come on both of them are just game consoles.
I dont have a xbox nor a ps3 (although planning to buy one of them soon) but i done my little researches on both of them..
i wasnt going to buy a ps3 because of the price but since they cut it down now i will surely do..
reasons:
-Ps3 has a blueray drive wich costs 500$ + alone
-after reading all the comments ps3 looks more reliable and less noisy
-ps 3has better hardware so has a big potential for future games
-im an owner of ps1 and ps 2 for several years and i used them very roughly but still never had any problems with them
also im not saying xbox 360 isnt good in matter of fact its legendary my friend has one and i really enjoy playing it and xbox have way more games than Ps3 at the moment if i was planning to get a console for the next few months(or year) i would surely go with the xbox
if im gonna buy a console il defenetly get a ps3
but the bottom line is.. i would prefer an alienware rather than a xbox or a ps :D
*if i messed up in some points please feel free to correct me im always looking forward to learn new information rather than being a stubborn fanboy :)

the PS3 is better and yes i do own both a 360 and a PS3, the only advantage the 360 has right now is the huge library of games, but keep in mind that the 360 had an 8 month head start (and yes it had decent games at launch) but statistically the PS3 blows the 360 away in every stat, plus free online and once home gets released (who knows when) XBL will have to make online free to compete with PSN. But you cant really live without both systems so stop fighting about which is better (because statistically the PS3 is better) and get both

ok this guy needs to learn how to spell better yet actually think before you say dude the 360 has almost the same hardware as the ps3 except for the built in hd movie drive and the wifi but so both systems are great, and the ps3 has a different feel to gaming and a 360 has a different feel to gaming but they are both really nice systems if u knew how much money goes into make these systems get on the market maybe you would respect it a little more now! about 32,000,000,000 (billion) dollars is put in to market these bad boys nation wide and thats only the u.s. think of world marketing? ken kutaragi built the first playstation only knowing that it would most likely be like all the other consoles but it was superior. like the ps3 and 360 they will both probably have some serious adjustments within the years to 2010-2011 when they both release the next, next gen consoles with no physical drives then it will be a matter of memory and both with then have to be categorized hardware wise! just respect that anyone thought of these things for you.

sony is still holding back at least 30% of the power from the devs. its just a matter of time before they see fit to release the power the same way they did with the psp, when they overclocked the cpu to 333mhz.
+1whatever February 4, 2008
first off, sony is going down the drain. not to bash them really but both best buy and circuit city have taken the ps3 80gb off the shelf due to poor sales. the 40gb is left to help boost ps3 game sales. while some find that an awesome idea for sony to finally promote their ps3 games vs the ps2 games for profits, it hasn’t worked. In the week sony has pulled the 80gb, i had 5 customers begging for the 80gb only to be informed that only the 40gb exists, and hearing 40gb isn’t backwards combatible, they left, pissed. Also, according to friends from both best buy and circuit city, ps3’s are the most returned console for no problems. sure the xbox 360 sucks in respect to the 3 rings of death but waiting 1.5 weeks for a new one isn’t nothing compared to ps3’s lackluster lineup. sure 360 had a year head start on ps3 to provide games but its been over a year and ps3 hasn’t put out. also, if you can get a game on ps3 or 360, it doesn’t matter to go with either. only 360 might have less bugs since ps3 is ported over. also due to blu-ray design, most designers haven’t bothered to fully use the ps3’s potential, and truthfully it’ll remain like that for a long time. why bother when 360 can support similar but not close graphics but still have a bigger market of gamers. at this current rate, ps3 is the new xbox and 360 is the new ps2 :]
also don’t own a ps3 but i will when i buy a 1080p tv for blu-ray. hd-dvd is sadly dead.

-2just another gamer February 5, 2008
It seems like all you guys made this into a competition for what you like the best, not what is actually the best. A lot of people have posted blogs and articles making comparisons between the two consoles and a lot of their information was messed up. Don’t get your research from those. Go to the PS3 and Xbox 360 websites where they list all the information of what is actually in their consoles.
+2A lot of people have been complaining about the size and design of the consoles, but since when did that have any factor in the over all gaming experience? The way I see it, you are getting what you pay for. The Xbox 360 elite goes for $450 and would probably be over $500 with tax. The 80GB PS3 is just a $100 more than that and you do, in fact, get more. Its like paying a $100 more for an iPhone rather than a iTouch.
PS3 does beat Xbox 360 with graphics, even if it doesn’t beat it by much. The fact that the PS3 has 8 core possessors (where the average PC can only handle 1 core possessor and the Xbox 360 can handle 3 core possessors), is an amazing achievement on its own. The reason why many people cannot really see the differences with graphics between the two consoles is because the PS3 is meant to work with HD. If you don’t have an HD tv then you aint gonna see shit.
An additional thing that many people have been getting wrong is that the PS3 can play MP3s, WAVs, WMAs, ATRAC3+ and MP4s, music wise. The Xbox 360 can only rip music from CD’s or an MP3 (as what the Xbox website says). The PS3 also has free online wireless game access. You have to pay for Xbox Live if you want any wireless access. The only major difference is that Xbox Live comes with a headset. The Xbox 360 also has a lot more games, but you have to remember that Microsoft makes a lot of their games for the PC as well, so a regular PC game can be easily converted onto the PS3.
The Xbox has more storage capacity compared to the PS3 but the PS3 delivers more in performance. Yeah, its true, everyone should just choose the console that they feel most comfortable with, but a huge debate over it all wont help much. The PS3 has everything that the Xbox 360 doesnt have and the Xbox 360 has everything the PS3 doesnt have. It really is neck and neck. A war like this would never be resolved because Microsoft and Sony would never make a product that has absolutely everything.
If I got any of my info wrong, just speak.

I must admit that Sony has done an excellent job of marketing the PS3 everyone seems to believe that the PS3 is some sort of supercomputer in terms of graphics, computer power, etc. Once you actually compare the two consoles, you would realize that many of the PS3’s advantages are just myths.

“PlayStation3″ a powerful machine that only eminent and experienced programmers will draw all the juice, also supports technology created by Sony as high definition, too blue, it appears that the cell, memorystick, blue ray, the more enveloping audio experience, blah blah blah.
“Xbox360″ a good PC without mindoms in a small chassis, which is why it burns, programming only averages (not pejorative), and that DX1O coincidence that will be compatible with this console, it seems that the armed when selecting components from a shop de Informatica.
“WII” very good catalogue of games, based on an innovative control and that is inversely proportional to their quality graphics, without comment.

Why not?:
Adapt innovative control on the other consoles since it is assumed that they are open systems in some form.

If PS3 uch as good console ? WHY WAITTT ????
It’s been almost a full year since Sony launched their PS3 and is still trying to catch-up.
It’s kinda sad if you think about it.
PLAYING CATCH-UP WITH XBOX 360:
– trying to make more games ( xbox has plenty and are coming)
– online support was wackk compared to xbox live ( why they NEEDED to create PS3 HOME just to keep up with the race )
– Sales ( PS3 is not making enough $$$ as they expected to )
There are more XBOX LIVE OWNERS ($50 subsciption) than PS3 console owners…..
-1michael February 17, 2008
I agree with “WHY WAIT” many PS3 fanboys believed that the PS3 would have owned the XBOX 360 by now. Yet it is still despartely playing catchup to the XBox. Example: Circuit City has taken PS3 off of its selves due to bad sales.

[quote comment="21634"]I don’t know what some of you are talking about, think about this, sure the ps3 stood up to the heat but why does it even get that hot. If the 360 cant stand the heat its because it doesnt have to, systems arnt supposed to get hot enought to fry plastic. [/quote]
I’m not here to say that the 360 is worse technically (gpu, ram etc) than the PS3 because it clearly isn’t. The 360 has continued to have the edge (sometimes slight sometimes large) graphically over the PS3 on the same games. Even PGR4 looks beautiful next to GT5Prologues ‘very nice but kinda artificial with flatter lighting’ videos. Yes I believe PGR4 looks and feels much nicer than what i’ve seen of GT5 so far (even though GT5 itself looks pretty spectacular).
I am here to say that a lot of people are completely misunderstanding the heat issues and what heatsinks and fans are for. the fact that the PS3 throws out (expells) more heat from it’s vents is because it’s DOING IT’S JOB RIGHT!
When a fan/heatsink/cooling solution is working good you WILL feel constant warm/hot air being expelled. When the cooling solution is not so good you will feel little if any warm air being expelled instead it stays within the console absorbing into the inner metal frame/chips/motherboard. That is why the 360 has such a terrible overheating problem.
What happened in the above story is in no way a negative on the PS3’s behalf, it was doing what it was supposed to – get that heat OUT OF THERE. The 360 on the other hand can barely handle it’s own heat let alone the heat from something else because it’s got a unbelievably rubbish cooling solution. My DEAD xbox (now taken apart) shows this. You think your 360 doesn’t get hot? Try taking the cover off and touching the metal casing under the ram/gpu or even the heatsinks – the heatsinks in this case are mostly doing their job because they get VERY HOT but the fans and flow of the 360 case is very poor so the normal user never ‘feels’ the heat coming out – but trust me it’s there and it’s just as hot if not hotter than the PS3 inside.
So can we all stop mistaking expelled air temp as a bad sign when that is what it’s meant to do. The 360 putting out ‘cool air’ doesn’t mean it’s cool at all (trust me, even case off you can touch those heatsinks within ten seconds of switch on on a 360 and they are boiling!) it means the fans/cooling is flawed and the heat remains within the console which is VERY VERY BAD.
As i’m sure the 40% failure rate on 360 (mine died 3 times from it, left upright on it’s own shelf and barely used) and eventually died from an ana chip/scalar issue probably also brought on by the heat.
PS3 is a vastly superior quality console. 360 has superior GPU and game centric design. If only the PS3 had the GPU/ram of the 360 and the design/cooling/testing of the PS3 then we may have one console this generation that wouldn’t be a total let down in one area or more.

I prefer the PS3 as i know it is more reliable and you get your money’s worth. Xbox360 is just as good, i was playing it one time around a mate’a house on a mini TV (NON HD) and the graphics still looked superb.
The Xbox 360’s downfall is it’s failure rate and the reliabilty, you also have to pay a lot for seperate accessories.The PS3’s downfall is that it is quite expensive, good games are coming quite late and PS3 lacks in stuff more than the 360. e.g online, how many people can play on one xbox360. I rate the Xbxo 360 for producing some killer games, but the PS3 just seems as it was built for the future. Don’t get me wrong i am not a fanboy, i’m just a casual gamer who sees the debat from both points of view.
At the end of day the debats and hatred are a waste of time. You can shout at the top of your lungs but you just cannot change someone’s choice and opinion. Both are great consoles and each dose something better than the other, it just depends what you like.
A rest my case.
-1Tatty March 29, 2008
The ps3 does not have 8 procesors, it has 1 with 8 SPE’s assisting it, SPE’s only assist the processor this does not make the ps3 THAT MUCH MORE POWERFULL, as for graphics its already been said the xbox’s GPU is more powerfull than the ps3’s and has a eaiser artechture to program therfore creating better results both consoles support maxium High Def 1080p (only the xbox elite), gamespot have created 2 comparisions and found the 360 was better in almost all games, lighting textures smoothness. As for online 360 is a clear winner and im not even going into detail. Yet the ps3 does have blu-ray, cant argue with that much, only the fact that this generation of gaming does not need any larger than 15Gig DVD disc, just cause had the largest 3d enviroment and only measured up to 7.4Gigs.On to games, both consoles have great games and line ups, Halo, Gears of war,Bioshock, PGR, mass effect,dead rising, saints row, alan wake, shadow run, fable and more PLAYSTATION has metal gear, killzone, playstation home, haze, tekken, hevenly sword, GOW, GT5 uncharted, resistance fall of man. But it has to be stated that some of the xbox 360’s exclusives build up alot more hype than the ps3’s. Finnally Reliabilty and memory capacity, The ps3 comes in either a 30Gig 40 60 or 80 all good sizes and can be modded to 100, the xbox 360 comes in 20 or 120, the ps3 has more variety but the 360 has a larger capacity. last but not least realiablty, to be honest here the PS3 wins hands down, around 14% of all xbox’s ever made got the RROD, and around 2% of ps3’s did thankfully microsoft have designed a new 360 codenamed “falcon” which uses new heatsink chips and is guenteed to never get the RROD under normal cirmcustances (yes is would probably get the RROD if you threw it on a fire), overall the 360 IS a better console, not that far ahead though

Neutralmichael March 30, 2008
I’ve gotta agree with tatty here about the graphics and computing power
-1Leo April 5, 2008
Okay,
First off, I have both a PS3 and a 360, and I play them both…
As far as reliability goes:
I’ve had my ps3 (the original 60 gig one) for about 5 months longer than the 360 and have had no issues. The 360 had broken FOUR times on me… I got so fed up of having it fixed that I ended up selling it on Ebay and got a newer one with an HDMI port, which so far has held up alright.
Games:
360 does have a few more exclusives, although I gotta say that not that many are THAT desirable, Halo 3 was good, but that became irrelevant the second Call of Duty 4 came out(both systems…). I felt Gears of War was a well made game, but somehow I never got around to playing it (and neither did my 3 friends on their 360’s who are the reason I have a 360). Mass Effect(which by the way may be coming to the PS3) had great potential, but it started to suck the second you are done with the Citidale missions cause they put too much emphasis on FPS and forgot about the RPG aspect… The rest of the 360 exclusives I don’t feel deserve mention except for maybe Bioshock.
PS3 does no have much in terms of exclusives yet, other than Lair, which was a pretty solid game (but could have been better) and Resistance which was VERY nice. Warhawk is an awesome game as well. UNREAL TOURNAMENT though is one great reason to have the PS3, if any of you have followed the games since the beginning you would understand the greatness…
Now as I look around the corner, the PS3 REALLY begins to shine, Metal Gear Solid is just plain AMAZING, if you haven’t seen the trailers and game play vids, you are missing out! That right there on its own makes it more than worth having the system. Once the new God Of War game is made(in the relatively near future) that will be another amazing exclusive. For those of you that have been following console sales, the ps3 has really picked up so we will start seeing more exclusives popping up since now there is more incentive for 3rd party developers to take action. The rest of the good games coming out in the near future are all multi platform so the ps3 would do just fine in that regard.
BLUE RAY…
Don’t know about you guys, but I feel its quite nice to have that added bonus, its not a necessity for a gamer, but I like the perk when I feel like watching a HD movie. Also I won’t complain about the built in wireless capability since that was a bit cheaper than having to have to buy the adapter for the 360…
INTERFACE:
The one this 360 has going for it right now, is the interface/system for online gameplay. Past that I very much prefer the ps3 interface. The one thing is though, that Sony has promised that both the multiplayer interface will be improved and the ability to access the menu while ingame will be added. So once that happens the 360 will lose that edge.
Controllers:
Xbox 360 had the edge up to now, but PS3 DualShocks are coming out in just a week or 2 so that will soon not be an issue and PS3 will be on equal playing field.
Overall, I feel that though xbox 360 is a pretty solid gaming system, the PS3 will pretty soon match the gaming side and already is a superior value/entertainment system.

none of what anyone says on here really matters its all based on YOUR personal preferance. i for one feel that all the people saying oh boo hoo the 360 doesnt have full 1080p rez waaaah. omfg who cares i see no reason for my games to look anybetter than they do they look great and for me personally i wish the game developers would stop focusing on the graphics and actually make good games like halo 3 ok sure it looks great but the game sucks the campiegn mode blew. way too short not that fun. i have a 360 and a wii and maybe someday i may get a ps3 when they arent so expensive but i really so no reason to buy one now cuz with a wii and 360 their is nothing they cant do that the ps3 can as far as im concerned nothing worth spending another $400 to $500 on. its all based on personal preference mostly based on the games i dont like any of the games on the ps3 so i dont have one i like the games on the 360 and wii everyone is different get used to it and quit your bitchin every system has had some major problems i for one have had absolutly none and dont know anyone who has so maybe if you take care of your s**t it wouldnt break

Ps3 advantages:
-11. 2 types of controllers, one has Bluetooth (no controller lag) with motion censoring but no rumble pack, and the other has the rumble pack but no motion censoring and no Bluetooth.
2. DVD up converting, up converts normal dvds to near high definition
3. Has a bluray player, game publishers now have 30GB to work with instead of 4.7gb
4. Free online multiplayer that doesn’t lag
5. Free downloads/demos, etc
6. No red ring of death
7. Faster CPU
8. Faster/better graphics card
9. The capability to take memory from the hard drive and use it for short term memory
10. More exclusive games coming out now like HOME
11. It can play ps2 games
12. You can go on the internet with it
13. Prices are going to come down in a few months, along with a new processor installed ( its smaller, no speed difference), and the ps2 slim is going to be out soon
14. it’s very quiet
15. Its can connect to internet wirelessly
16. It renders games more realistically, they are smoother, and the ps3 can output a higher frame rate
17. It can output all the way to 1080p!
18. you install games at first so they load faster later in the game
19. its more reliable then xbox360
20. trophies are coming out soon(they are the equivalent of accomplishments on the 360)

Though I am much in favor of the PS3, I believe that the official word is that the 360 has a little bit better Graphics card.
As far as I’m concerned though, the ps3 processor more than makes up for that slight disadvantage and if any of you have been reading up on stuff lately, some of the game developers have been starting to say that now that they are getting a hang of how to utilize the PS3 they will most likely be able to surpass the 360’s graphics in the near future.

+1I own a PS3 and i am very happy with it, but that doesn’t mean i go around yelling at people for buying a 360 or a wii. If you read a comment saying that your beloved console is s**t and you take offense to that and start bagging the crap out of them you are living a very sad life.
If you like the console that you own, just be happy that you bought it and stop listening to any crap that other people say about you or the console.

I agree that the Xbox 360 sucks!!!
1) You need to have a “Live” account to play online and it costs you money!
2) They all look the same
3) The main menus look like a filing cabinet (it really sucks)
4) The PS3’s menus look just like those of a PSP. It is easy to use and you don’t have to pay for it.
5) Some of you may have heard about “The ring of death”. It’s when the circle around the Power on/off button of the Xbox turns red like the icon on the top of this screen. The Xbox randomly does that and the screen turns black. So, you have to restart it AND if youre playing and you don’t save, when that happens your screwed!
so… you tell me, which one is better?
The PS3 is 80G’s for only $499 and it looks better than the 360 does!

5) Some of you may have heard about “The ring of death”. It’s when the circle around the Power on/off button of the Xbox turns red like the icon on the top of this screen. The Xbox randomly does that and the screen turns black. So, you have to restart it AND if youre playing and you don’t save, when that happens your screwed!
so… you tell me, which one is better?
The PS3 is 80G’s for only $499 and it looks better than the 360 does![/quote]
Arguement to John:
The XBOX is not inferior to the PS3, stop flaming players of the other consoles!
1. Who cares, Live is only like 50 bucks a year, even most PS3 owners admit that Live is an incredible online counterpart for the XBOX 360. Don’t tell me that you are too poor to afford such a thing.
2. numbers 2-4 are hardly reveleant
3. The red ring of death only happens on faulty XBOXs normally caused by overheating, the newer models have a much lower failure rate.
4. The only games I can see myself play on the PS3 is Resistance, Drake’s Fortune and Metal Gear Solid Four which isn’t even out yet
5. The “better graphics” of the PS3 is just a myth, most games acutally do look better on an XBOX
6. The PS3 online counterpart is slightly disappointing to say the least
7. Blue Ray’s loading time is terrible and believe it or not, I still watch movies on older formats.
8. I personally think that the PS3 looks like a PS2 with a silver 3 replacing the 2.
9. The XBOX is still 50 bucks cheaper than the PS3
I’m not trying to say that the Xbox is “better”. Both consoles have their beneifts and its the gamers that chose which one they want.

My god, some of you people……
NeutralYes, so the PS3 has more ‘potential’ as a lot of you are saying, however with so few games being exclusive to 1 console, and with games being easier to develop on the 360 due to better development tools and a more standard architecture, most games will eventually be held back by the 360. Any extra grunt that the PS3 may have, and we are still waiting to see any proof here, will be left untapped because the same content will be available on both consoles. Cant you people see? Also, after having several PS2 break downs the 1 360 fault I have had in 2 years seems like a gift from heaven.
To close, I’d just like to point out how sad it is to fully back a console based purely on it’s brand. The 360 is, due to the amount of games currently out, the far better console. PS3 fans just have to accept this, and wait their turn (by which time the console will be half the price). Either way, Microsoft and Sony will shit on you then sell your gran if they thought it would help them out. Dont be so foolish as to follow in blind faith.

“Ok first off I’m going to say when it comes to Online gaming the XBox 360 Wins (HANDS DOWN). Xbox now has an online Upgrade to make the picture a 1080p (The already had the 1080i, but Progressive IS better and the PS3 comes standard in the 1080p format. Anyways, now that BOTH systems have CLOSE to the SAME amount of Graphics (And ANYONE that says NO WAY, is LYING) you CANNOT tell the difference between the two when BOTH played in HD on a WS using an HDMI cable @ 1080p. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL, BOTH systems look TERRIFIC.
Playstation spent ALL their money on R&D trying to get this Blu-Ray disc to work and NOT be able to Hack/Crack/Patch it. Well after hundreds of Thousands of dollars later it (Blu-Ray) was released. And WITHIN a month HACKED!
Again we are talking about Video Gaming NOT High Def movies and ALL THAT. I’m content with a Normal DVD with a $12.00 price tag to be honest! SO WHY the BIG DEAL about Blu-Ray? What GAME in the WORLD is going to HOLD over 9 Gigs (Which are the Dual Layered disks that they use now?)
SONY NOR ANY company is GOING to spend THAT much time making a GAME that takes a NON-STOP 3 WEEKS of playing to get to the end. And that’s what Blu-Ray could EASILY hold.
Bottom line, Sony made a HUGE mistake spending SO MUCH money on that Blu-Ray for the PS3. I DO believe that Blu-Ray WILL beat HD DVD but that is just in computers and how much info. that disk can hold. As for the HD Movie war, I could REALLY care less.
Price wise, Xbox MIGHT be a LITTLE bit cheaper, but with ALL the Goodies and Gadgets you’re going to spend about the same.
Winner is Xbox 360 – Sony F’ed up BIGTIME on this gaming system. When it came to the Original Xbox and PS2. PS2 was WAY and still is WAY better than the Original Xbox. And if people think that I am wrong, then WHY are there SO MANY discussions on this subject.
Playstation spent too much time and money on their Blu-Ray disk. ONLY to get hacked within a week or so! And SORRY but these PS3 titles are Ridiculous! Tell me a REALLY GREAT game. Metal Gear Solid that’s IT! And that’s NOT even out!
P.S. Everyone that says the Xbox 360 Sucks compared to your PS3. I’m just sorry that you got stuck WITH the PS3. They are SELLING like CRAZY on Ebay because the system (Yet powerful sucks and even though promised it has ABSOLUTLY NO easy and better online gaming than the 360 Live.
Do you think a Billionaire (Bill Gates) would put HIS Name (Microsoft), Reputation and More on this product ifhe didn’t FULLY believe in it!
And make fun of the Nerd ALL you want, but he’s the one laughing to the bank. Your using ONE of his (Microsoft) products RIGHT now!”
OK for starters i own neither system but have played both of them and overall enjoyed the experience but i must here say a few things which need mentioning.
1. At this time there are only 3 games on the XBox 360 with a native resolution of 1080p
[native 1080p] Boogie Bunnies [Xbox Live Arcade]
[native 1080p] Street Home Court
[native 1080p] Virtual Tennis 3
thats it those three none others not even the much vaunted halo 3 which actually isn’t even 720p naive its 640i the reason being that they had to compress the heck out of it to fit it on a dual layered dvd even the new gta 4 doesn’t run native 1080p. Why? The X360 version uses the Anti-aliasing process to minimize distortion artifacts in the Video signal. This is needed because it was compressed to all hell. Without the use of Anti-aliasing in the 360 version, it would look like garbage.
The PS3 version runs fully uncompressed in native 1080p.
This next exerpt is from an interview with Sam Houser co-founder of Rockstar Games about GTA 4 at 1UP.com
“1UP: Let’s talk about the hardware issues. Back when GTA4 was delayed, PS3 technical hurdles were cited as a contributing factor. I take it those have been ironed out.
SH: I don’t know what anybody’s said on that stuff. I didn’t say anything, and I stay out of it…. Both machines are absolutely fantastic, but they both come with strengths and weaknesses. The strength of the 360 is a very, very accessible, familiar, effective environment to work in. You’re making the game from the get-go, everyone understands its PC environment — boom, off we go. It’s pretty good. One of the problems with the 360, and it affects games like Grand Theft Auto if you think about how much content we put in the actual machine, is the fact that they don’t have a significantly larger storage medium than the previous systems. It’s a slightly bigger DVD disc.
1UP: Plus, you’re not guaranteed a hard drive in every system.
SH: That’s a complicated one. I met with a bunch of the senior fellows from [Microsoft]. I said, that’s kind of complicated…. The upshot of the technical challenges we’ve experienced on either the 360 or on the PS3 is [that] both companies stepped up to the plate and have supported us in a way that was beyond even my greedy expectations. They’ve been amazing. I think that the 360 is going to have to get ’round this issue we’re talking about. I can think of various ways they can do it. Hopefully, they’re going to adopt one of those in the next year or so, because it’s going to become more of an issue. If we’re filling up the disc right now, where are we going? It’s not like our games are going to get any smaller. I think that issue’s on the table with a bunch of games right now. I’m sure they’ll come through with an intelligent solution.
Getting things running on the PS3 initially was challenging. I think it was challenging for a lot of companies, but it’s also a machine where, now that we’ve got comfortable with it — I don’t want to say we’ve cracked it, but we’ve got comfortable with it — we know we can make our games. We’re at a point now where the games pretty much look identical side by side. There’s a slight difference in the way they look. I think that’s to do with really low-level technical stuff that I’m not the guy to explain. The 360 games have a certain look to them; PS3 games have a certain look to them. I like the way [the PS3] renders. There’s a certain kind of softness without being blurry — some warmth to it — and then there’s a certain more clinical element to how the 360 looks. Both have plusses and minuses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re neck and neck now. That’s very much our goal; we do not want to get in the middle of that rather heated, fervent debate…. These guys who wanna defend their systems, you know what? Good on ‘em, and let them do it. We just didn’t want to give them something that would in any way fuel it….
Now we see Sony was not simply putting there hopes on Blu-Ray for movies but as a high capacity container for games which as graphics get better and environments get larger and more interactive will also increase in size. I will say this if microsoft had used hd-dvd as their main format instead of dual-layer dvd then they would have had far fewer problems.
But let us not forget the Red Ring Of Death Issue Which the switch to “falcon”(falcon motherboard and 65nm processor) was supposed to fix guaranteed. Well it didn’t it has been reported that a scant week after release they are already seeing RROD returns with the Falcon Revision. Now we see that Blu-Ray has won the format war with the last HD-DVD feature scheduled for release on May 28. A format by the way that microsoft sunk a ton of money into to get exclusive distribution rights. Also they have dumped 50 mil into take 2 for exclusive rights to downloadable GTA 4 content that wont be see till Q4 08 at the earliest. Currently the XBox division is 5.7 billion in the red according to forbes that is right i said 5.7 BILLION tack on the HD-dvd failure, the 1.5 billion they put into fixing the RROD and the TAKE 2 exclusivity rights that they won’t see a return on for at leaste 7 months or more if at all and you have almost 8 BILLION in Bad News for Bill Gates
All in all I think Microsoft moved too fast getting their system to the market first to beat sony and that has unfortunately doomed what should have been a great system . With just a little more R&D they would have had an amazing Product that sony would have stood no chance against and would have reaped huge profits. Hopefully its a lesson they will apply too future consoles
+2srikanth April 30, 2008
Kevin, I appreciate the really long post you made, but i am sorry to be the one to point out that you are wrong on the blu-ray justification for Sony. MGS4 has already filled up a whole Blu-Ray disc and they were unable to get multiple sound tracks on this game for this reason. the Final version of GT5 is also expected to take up the whole bluray disc space.
Hence, Sony was right in spending so much R&D because they took the time to look into the future. You seem to be a Bill Gates fanboy, but Sony is a much larger company than Microsoft. Do you think their reputation is not worth as much as Bill Gate’s is? FLAWED Comparison!!!!!!!!
The simple fact is that Microsoft cashed in on the fact that they were the only next-gen console all the time PS3 was not released and they did not take the time or effort to improve it. To see that the 360 has the kind of failure rate it does till date, is a clear sign of neglect from Microsoft.
The best things I like about the PS3 are that they are adding opensource applications like azureus media center, linux installation and compatibility etc. They are more open to HDD upgrades than is the 360.
You are right in saying that the 360 has the largest collection of games, but then, the PS2 would win by that logic since it has the largest collections of games till date.
I could go on and on about how the 360 is nothing but a money-sucking pit, but that would make me a fanboy. On the contrary, I am a smart buyer. When I spend close to USD 500 for anything, I make sure I am getting the most from it. if you say you are getting more of everything from 360, you are a blatant liar. If you say you are getting more GAMES from the 360, I would pay heed to your remark. Accepting the PS3 is truly better might hurt your ego, but it would make you a balanced thinker. think about it. The day that Microsoft markets a console better than the PS3, I will be the first to jump out and buy it to retire my PS3. but their 360 debacle has NOT left a good taste in my mouth.
Am I wrong in purchasing a PS3 60GB w/additional controller for 470$ + taxes knowing it is going to add to my HD and gaming experience and that it has a much lower rate of failure than the 360. there is enough of a game library to satisfy me on this console. I currently own the following:
COD4 (Favorite)
Warhawk
Burnout Paradise
MotorStorm
Resistance
UT3
Ninja Gaiden (least favorite since no online play)
Rock Band (Getting soon)
I did not jump to buy the 360 when it was the only one available. Instead, I patiently waited for the PS3 to be released, studied its performance and reliability, checked its game collection, and then made a sound choice in my opinion. I bought it with the full intention of returning it if I dint like it. It is aesthetically appealing and goes well with my black plasma TV.
Try beating all that with an explanation for the 360. PS, if you did not buy your console with your own hard-earned money, you do not deserve to reply to my post. Also, if you have multiple consoles, you are obviously spoilt. no one can argue with that kind of people since they fail to see the economics in question. Reply if you can intelligently counter my argument. I will most definitely take well to a constructive and intelligent debate.

Well said! First of all let me point out that the first part of my post was actually a quotation from an earlier post by another user hence the quotes around it. My post starts at “ok for starters” so reread it from there. I actually do not believe that 360 is a true Next-Gen console at all. It is already out dated. I use my GF’s brothers 360 now and then and enjoy it very much. That being said i would never buy one. For christmas i got him the cooling fan add on attachment so it wouldn’t fry on him. But currently I do not own either console. I will hopefully be purchasing the PS3 later this Year around christmas time. I am waiting for the next price drop and also because I believe there will more that likely be one more hardware revision and bundle before then or coinciding with the price drop. It’s not that i have a problem with spending the money i simply am giving sony the necessary time to work out certain bugs. I am still the proud owner of a PS2 that i have logged thousands of hours gaming on without a single problem. I did not puchase it right away though i did not end up getting it till 2003. No for my money i will stick with the PS3 because i believe once more studios get the hang of the Dev Kits and programming to take full advantage of Cell it will be truly awe inspiring hopefully I am not proven wrong in the years to come. But then again that is a risk you take when you invest in a high end piece of tech.
As a side note in my previous post i noted that Xbox 360 only has 3 titles with a native resolution of 1080p but i forgot to note that PS3 has over 22 title that are 1080p native.

Kevin,
Sorry, I did not realize that was a quote. I am glad you pointed it out. I agree with your approach for buying the console of your choice when the price and game collection is right. I caved in during the last christmas since the price was right for my pocket compared to the 1000 odd price it was when it got released. I also thought the game collection was reasonable for my taste. I can understand where you’re coming from.

Wrong with the CELL architecture !!!!! the CELL is a RISC processor capable of massive paralellism. The Game CAN get that much better since you can program extremely complex AI and the kind of architecture also helps aid in Graphics processing. In the case of PCs, its a well known fact that CPU’s are used to achieve better Framerates when the GPU is not upto it. hence the whole MMX and 3DNow! extension crap in x86 CPUs.

Ok first ov all I am a driver with UPS and before that I was Part time With them unloading the Tractor Trailers in the morning. I can say this with absolute certainty the failure rate is at least 20-25% maybe more. When i was part time i would see hundreds of “coffins”(reffering to the white box you ship the 360 back in for repairs) a day come off the back of trucks(on Long Island east end). As a driver i deliver about 3-6 a day at least with the ratio being on average being 2 or 3 empty boxes to be packed and shipped for every full box coming back. Double or more at the holidays and for about a month after. I have delivered some to houses 2 or 3 time or more. The ups stores on averge nationwide see about 5-10 of them coming in to be shipped out every day m-f. Walk into any store across the country with the white shipping box and they will know exactly what it is where it is going and how much it weighs. The “16%” failure rate is actually for the new Falcon upgrade models. That number is even low i have browsed through several forum for 360 owners all of which have heavily posted and viewed support areas for RROD which is just one of many problems that p;ague the 360. One poster i saw noted that he was currently on his 11th system! This is obviously a much larger problem than Msoft is willing to admit it is. Ever notice how No Exec will ever admit what the exact problem is in an interview and the company flatout
-1refuses to release and data or records on the exact number of machines sent in for repair seems very shady to me i believe it’s only a matter of time before we see a major class action lawsuit against them.

Unless you love Halo dont get a 360, it has a failure rate of 33 percent, thats one in three for you stupid fanboys. So instead of dealing with shit breaking i am going to get soemthign that works

I had an xbox 360 and after few months guess what, red ring of death :S which is very sad couse I use to like that console .. To cut the story short i think that microsoft ripped a lot of ppl off buy producing a console with such shitty materials. I have seen some 360s from the inside … come on man .. the heat sink looks like they stole it from a pentium one PC :S .. the online gaming service of microsoft is great really robust but you have to pay for it hmm Microsoft :S .. Now i have a wii :D its fun to play easy to mod :D no hassle at all .. This winter i might get a PS3. from the reviews i have read it seems its a little bit more reliable .. after all whats the point. some ppl say xbox has better graphics .. but would you buy a console for more graphics knowing that its motherboard will melt in few months.. hehe i dont think so.. so i prefer having the PS3 .. graphics or no graphics .. plus i heard you can have a linx OS running on the PS3 :D which is good since im a UNIX LINUX fan :D well I hope you guys in search for the best console to owe will make a good choice .. or else just get them both ;)

[quote comment="21632"]none of you guys find it interesting that the PS3 withstood the extreme temperatures and the 360 did not? Shows that Sony knows how to make a good console and Microsoft does not.[/quote]
Uh, ur obviously retarded because the xbox does
