Answer 2

First. Games. Microsoft has been picking up all the rookies with a lot of potential while Sony has stuck with it's companies that have made great games in the past but are old and need to retire. The most relevant example is SqaureEnix. They made some of the greatest games ever, but they can't keep up with the younger generation's needs and wants and will suffer dearly for their inability to keep up. Sony will be plagued by this in the future and Microsoft will pull ahead as it's picking up the younger, more fresh players while Nintendo will continue making kids games and games that are "fun," which will keep them in the race as much if not more than Sony.

Second. Reliability. Ps2 had more problems than any fan would admit. Ps3 has be enduring many, many problems in it's first few weeks of release. Granted 360 had a number of problems in it's initial release, Ps3 still should look better than this.

Third. Capabilities. On a scale of 1-10 for total game graphics, sound and playability, the consoles rate as fallows. Wii 5-6. Xbox 360 8. Ps3 8.5-9. They're really isn't much difference between the 360 and the Ps3. Xbox has a rich online community that Ps3 will have to copy to keep up. Wii's online allows downloads of old NES and some Sega games. Plans for Nintendo 64 games are in the works for download able content.

Ps3 has Blu-ray and if you believe that's the future of DVD then you'd be better off buying a Ps3 than a Blu-ray player as the Ps3 is about $200-$1000 cheaper than a player.

360 has a HD-Drive that you can purchase for $200 and if you believe HD-DVD is the future then there you go.

Wii has no DVD support.

Wii is the cheapest system and it would be "fun." Nintendo has always been a parent friendly system and is great for younger kids.

Ps3 is the most expensive system($599 for the top system,) and would be good as a Blu-ray player.(If you want to argue the hard drive, you can buy a USB drive for XBOX and have more space than Ps3 and still be cheaper.)

360 is available now, where as you won't be able to get a Ps3 until Jan-Feb maybe even Mar.

360 is the ladder and has a much better set up over Sony and Nintendo. Games are great and you can expect a lot of exclusive games from 360 in 2007.

Get a 360.

You really can't go wrong with either. Both offer great resolution gaming, cool technology, and a lot of features. What it comes down to for a lot of people is what Movie technology you're after. Each of them are backing a different High Definition DVD format. The PS3 uses Blu-Ray technology which as everything looks now will be the leader in the HD Format for DVDs. There is more storage space on an Blu-Ray disc allowing for more information for the movies, extra features and soon to be games. Imaging playing a game that is a movie!

XBOX has an attachment for an HD DVD player, which is the other format for HD Format DVDs. You have to purchase it separately for $200 or so, and add it on, however there are fewer movie studios backing HD DVD, and the load time on an HD DVD player is so long you could make a sandwhich and eat half of it while the movie loads.

As far as the gaming goes, they are both awesome, but the PS3 has some additional features built into the controller that recognize your movements and actions into the games, plus it will have more add ons as the system grows to make the gaming, entertainment, and computer experience better.

The benefit right now of the XBOX 360 is that you can walk into pretty much any store and buy one right now, the PS3 you'll probably be waiting for a while, or paying through the roof on EBAY for one.

Hope this helped.

Answer 4

go with the xbox 360. The ps3 cost so much because of the design, and also because the ps3 has internet and wireless controler and that is pretty much it. i read a review and that said that the ps3 was a waste of money and that the xbox is the same thing just dosent have internet, the better bargain is the wii. Go with that

Answer 5

if you get an xbox don't get the 360, many people who have got one says the original is better than the 360. the 360 may have slightly better graphics but it is alot slower. Go with the xbox original.

Answer 6

ey im gonna tell you straight,even the ctritics said the ps3 isnt dat good and theres not that many games comin out for it,i suggest the x box 360.the graphics are freakin gorgeous man,and if you like shooters i suggest gears of war,this game looks almost realistic

Answer 7

You'll find that the best next generation games will be dual format, so i'd stick with the cheaper one. In the past the more powerful one recieved the same treatment from developers, so I'd say xbox360. You can grab a live account now from www.xbox.com to get you started!

Answer 8

PS3 is better graphics wise and soon it will have much better games. It's capable of more, and online play is free. SIXAXIS is better than 360 controller. And people always say the 360 has good graphics, they suck

Answer 9

well its to different ps3 one cost $500, and the other cost $600. so i really can't tell you but i think you should get a xbox 360

Answer 10

IF U LIKE GAMES LIKE HALO AND GEARS OF WAR(XBOX360 EXCLUSIVES) GET 360, PLUS ITS 200 CHEAPER

IF WANT TO BE ABLE TO WATCH BLU RAY MOVIES AND HAV HIGHER GRAPHICS POWER, GET PS3

Answer 11

i say ps3.. the x-bx 360 isnt all that good anyways, BUT if you want the ps3 you really should pre-order it now.
