PS3 or XBOX 360? Prove your points?

Answer 1

so far id have to say the 360 is the better system, they have more games out right now and they are better lookin, but then again it has a year headstart on the ps3 so its easier for developers to get more out of the system, in a year os so we coul see the ps3 be on par with the 360 or better, then again it may not ever reach the 360, but you need to wait atleast a year to start seein what the system is capaible of

Answer 2

PS3 for sure

1. The system is like 99% backwards compatible unlike the xbox where you have to download an update for every game you put in, then it only plays about a quarter of the xbox games if that even.

2. I had a 360 and it broke after 5 months, it only comes with a 3 month warranty and the ps3 comes with a year.

3. The 360 looks cheap, the controllers are cheap and the D-pad is god awful

4. The PS3 had a FREE online network to play games

5. The PS3 has a bigger hard drive that can be interchanged with standard notebook hard drives unlike the rip off xbox drive

6. Blu ray player which holds way more information than standard DVD so game developers will never run out of space

7. The 360 sounds like a jet engine as where the PS3 is almost silent

8. The 60 gig ps3 comes with standard memory card options like SD and compact flash.

Finally, the only negative thing I have to say about the ps3 is that if you have an older HDTV that doesn't support 720p it downscales to Standard Definition, but there is supposedly a fix for that coming in a firmware update.

I love my ps3 and i'm glad I bought it, the xbox 360 had nice graphics when I had it but it did suffer some massive slow down in graphically intense games..

Answer 3

You choose. Here are a lot of pro's and con's for each.

PS3
Pro:
1. High Processing Power(good graphics)
2. Free online play
3. A few good exclusives

Con:
1. $500-$600
2. Because online play is free many 3rd party games will not support online multiplayer.
3. PS3 has lost a few 1st and 3rd party publishers and developers.
4. EA has claimed that it is harder to port games to the PS3 because of the Blu-ray technology. They stated that it will take a lot longer to port Crysis to the PS3 from the PC. So some game companies may not want to go through the hastle of porting their games over to the PS3.
5. Doesn't come with HD cables
6. Blu-ray takes up 2-4 times more space on a hard drive than regular format.
7. It will need 6 months to a year to work out all its bugs
8. If there are problems with your console, its on you.(Sony has proved in the past that they will not replace or repair reject consoles without having to pay $150-$200.
9. Can only play certain PS1 and PS2 games.


Xbox 360:
Pro:
1. Great Graphics
2. Xbox Live is better than ever
3. Super comfortable controller
4. Has gained many 1st and 3rd party publisher and developers.
5. Great games
6. Bugs have already been worked out
7. Peter Jackson(director of Lord of the Rings and King Kong) will be working exclusively with Microsoft.
8. Metal Gear Solid 4(the PS3's killer app) has been rumored to be coming to the Xbox 360.(this months issue of EGM)
9. Microsoft may be trying to by Capcom(Resident Evil, Dead Rising)
10. Great accessories
11. Can play Xbox games
12. Exclusive content for GTA IV

Con:
1. $50 dollars for Live, but is totally worth it.
2. Can't play all Xbox games, but most of the good ones are playable, and more are becoming available.
3. HD-DVD player is extra, but is one of the best looking
HD-DVD players out there.(in my opinion)

The PS3 may have slightly better graphics, but the 360 is better in almost every other way. Besides most game companies don't take advantage of the power of the systems. Just like the last-gen games, no one showed the true power of the Xbox until Ubisoft unleashed Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

I think its kind of like the difference between Plasma and LCD. Sure the Plasmas(PS3) look better(not much better), but they also don't last as long and have a better chance of getting a picture burnt in on the screen. While the LCDs(Xbox 360) are cheaper, look great, have a less chance of burn-in, and are slightly more compact. The LCD's have more bang for your buck.

Answer 4

I personally like xbox 360 better. BUT I talked with some guys from the eb games store and they told me that PS3 is better than the xbox 360 (faster, better graphics, etc.) but the PS3 is not worth $600. The eb games guy told me that in a year when the price drops $100 or so then it will be worth it more than the 360.

Answer 5

PS3

xbox360 is half a generation older (same reason they said ps2 sucked when 360 came out)
PS3 is backwards compatable by design (with the exeption of a minor error in the graphics card butthat is fixable with a patch they shold be releaseing soon or have allready released)
PS3 has more going for it than halo2
xbox360 is made by a company that makes computer components if you want a computer buy a desktop.
how often do you hear people insult sony's other things? (ever heard the joke about how microsoft works is an oxymoron?)
PS3's online network is FREE
the $600 PS3 has a slot for the memory stick duo (PSP memory stick thingy)
PS3 uses up to 7 wireless controllers via bluetooth 2.0 (why 7 i dont know but it is)
PS3 has a new processor in it called the cell that is more powerfull than the new intell chips
PS3 is a very sexy looking machine

that probably wasnt enough but thats what i could spit out without thinking other than that xbox360 is trashy like a trailor park girl

Answer 6

The xbox 360 because it's cheaper, and it can do more things than the PS3, even though the PS3 does have better graphics.
