XBOX 360 or PS3?

Question

Which one would you recommend?

I've heard different sides and i don't know which one is better.

Also I've heard each are having problems.

So help me decide and give me your opinion.

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

I wouldn't say that Xbox 360 doesn't have any more problems. And I don't know for sure if PS3 is having problems because I don't own one. The 360 has a lot more games for it at this moment and I dare say, it has much better games. However, it's been released for a year so it has had a head start. If you need a Blu-Ray player, then you should probably pick up a PS3. You may have a problem finding one though because I hear they are virtually sold out in stores. I have a 360 and I love it. I can't wait for Halo 3, I love playing Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. I bought the web cam for it and play games such as Uno and Texas Hold 'Em.

Answer 3

Right now XBOX360 wins. No contest. More games. Better games. Unless your really want a Blue Ray player, 360 is the way to go. A year or two from now that could change. Sony will have had time to actually get some games out. At that point it will just depend on what games you would rather play. Gears of War or Resistance: Fall of Man. Halo 3 or Metal Gear Solid 4. Mass Effect or Final Fantasy XIII. If I can afford it, I'll get both. Otherwise, I can't imagine not playing Halo 3.

Answer 4

I don't think that the PS3 will sell as many units as the Xbox 360. The PS3's problems are going to be harder to get fixed than the Xbox 360's where.The PS3 has some great games, but its online service is not nearly as good as the Xbox 360's. I would chose the Xbox 360 because it's going to have the best games (GTA, Halo 3, Gears of War, ect..) and I think it's going to always have the best online service.

Answer 5

PS3, it has motion sensors, like the Wii (it is the main controls for the game Warhwk) Theres also Blu-ray disc drive, which normally costs $1,000, thats whyy it costs so much. With memory stick slots on the PS3 makes it easier to transfer videos music & photos onto its 20GB or 60GB hard drive. It also can play PS2 and PS One games, and dvds. You can also go on the internet and it even has its own instant messeging program. If you have a PSP your able to hook that up to the PS3 and tranfer files from your PSP to the PS3. You will also be able to use it in more many different things in games (like as the controller and rear view mirror in Formula 1). Plus theres games like Resistance Fall of Man, Madden, and Warhawk (which uses the motion sensors). If there are and glitches or problems i'm sure you will be able to fix them with the system updates, just like the PSP has. It may cost more but that's only cuz you are gettin more and at a better quality.

Answer 7

Xbox 360

Why?

well, as many people pointed out, they upgraded there systems
most people can't afford a ps3 right now
not that many games for ps3
Halo 3 and Halo wars expected to release next year are both only on the 360, and many people would go for Halo.

Answer 8

Xbox had lots of problems but now doesn't. And ps3's are really unreliable, few work. I own and xbox three sixty and it is amazing. get that or wait a year for ps3.

Answer 9

Why don't you look at the games that are being released for each system and pick the system with the most games you want to play.
Its about the games, the consoles only project images onto your tv screen.
