Xbox 360 Or PS3 for Xmas guys?

Question

Which do u want Santa to bring u and why?

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

Well I myself am a Sony fan. So I would prefer the PS3, but knowing of the bugs...I would wait on that purchase. Plus, I wouldn't go to ebay to buy it for $1200 for something that I know will be in stock 3-6 months down the road. Same for the Wii, Nintendo's offering. Nintendo is planning on flooding the market on those and should do that by late January, so those that are paying $600 for on, you are just wasting your money for right now...If you must get a gaming system to make your guy happy, then reluctantly by the 360 if he insists. As as avid gamer, I personally don't buy Microsoft stuff unless I just absolutely want a game on that platform (which I haven't found one yet) (That's a personal choice not an opinion on the system at all). Better to buy the games and wait than go out and waste a bunch of money that might need to have a firmware fix later.

Answer 3

Wii.. no other questions... if not the wii then ps2 because ps3 is 2 expensive the majority of the games if they arent for Xbox live then the stoty mode is crap and if u dont hav the cash 2 by live get a wii or ps2 hey if u bought both u would still not have enough for a ps3 250 250
