Which one is better to buy PS3 or XBOX 360?

Question

I am planning to buy a gaming console.
Which one is better Playstation 3 or XBOX 360

Answer 1

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 2

XBOX 360 due to the lack of backward compatibility in the PS3 and Sony's issues with the PS3 in general. Sony seems to have put more effort into to creating another home theatre system packaged as a Playstation than they did in the gaming experience.

Answer 3

i could pass with the 360 because of the fact it has a extra powerful determination of video games, and the older video games are extra much less costly. i'm getting a 360 this week. specific the PS3 has Blu-Ray yet who cares, it dosnt make the sport portraits to any extent further powerful. Plus 360 is extra much less costly, and Microsoft delivers a 3yr warrenty on it, so which you do no longer could desire to undertaking. Plus Xbox stay is the ideal. Get a Xbox 360 you will no longer sense sorry approximately it

Answer 4

If you want one NOW, XB360 hands down.
It has much more games, it has much better games (for now), it's interface is one of the best ever done on consoles, and if you're a US user you can download videos and movies iTunes-style.

The PS3 had a rough ride throughout the launch and the next-generation disc format that it's being based on- Blu-ray- isn't much established yet, so I might suggest a later purchase- perhaps when the price comes down to the point where Blu-ray doesn't make a big price difference.

Answer 5

depends on how long you feel like waiting. It's a toss up but an XBOX 360 is more readily available seeing as though the PS3 is next to impossible to get.

Answer 6

x-box 360 they are way more sweet than playstation 3

Answer 7

I think X BOX 360

Answer 8

XBox hands down. They are easier to use, and the controllers are better suited and manageable.

Answer 9

PS3 IS BETTER
