xbox360 or playstation3?

Answer 1

It depends on your gaming preferences. A console is only as good as the games for it.

Check the graphics "difference" on the link below. As you see, there is none. The Xbox and PS3 are graphically the same.

However my personal pros and cons for each console:

Xbox 360:
Pro:
Cheaper than PS3. Great Graphics and Sound. Great variety of games. Many games for PS3 are now for Xbox, as the sales for PS3 are not that good, and publishers make games for consoles that sell well.
Online Play with Live is the best online experience I had.
You're always able to see who of your friends is online and what they are playing, so you can join them immediately.
Free demos, and other stuff from the Live Marketplace. Try a game before you buy.
Has a HDDVD accessory. Should Blue Ray succeed and HD DVD lose, you could buy a Blue Ray accessory drive later.
Can connect with your PC to display MP3s, Pictures Video and TV on your Televison.
You can play your own music during gameplay. And if there are special cut scenes that have to have their music (e.g. one of your comrades in a War game is dying in a dramatic cut scene, it would runin the mood if you just happen to play "Don't worry, be Happy")

Cons:
Live subscription costs about $4 a month if you buy a 12 Month Live card.


PS3:
Pro: Onlineservice supposed to be free.

Cons:
Costs an arm and a leg.
Has few exclusive titles at the moment.
Graphics as good as XBox 360.
If the customers buy HD DVDs instead of Blue Ray, you will have an expensive gaming console to put next to your Betamax VCR.

Answer 2

Oh dear we have allot of Anti PS3 gamers out there dont we?

And rightly so...Sony has made a rod for its own back, a delayed release followed by false promises to European and Ozzy customers for backward compatibilty, is this really a big deal though, Technology moves on if you want to play old PS2 games then stick with your PS2, PS3 games will soon be out.

Its unfair to compare a console that hasnt even left the starting blocks with a console that has already done a half a dozen laps and got well into its stride!

Xbox 360, 20GB Hard Drive, Wireless Controller, Online ready, HD, 720P/1080I processor output

PS3, Optional 20GB/60GB Hard Drive, Wireless/Motion sensing controller, FREE online play, HD and Blu-Ray delivers pristine picture quality at 1080p - the highest-definition resolution available today.

The PS3 has the power to lap the Xbox 360, but like the doubters here are claiming unless the PS3 proves popular then the games wont get developed.

I dont believe for one second that the PS3 will not prove popular, PS2 had a huge following and those gamers are waiting for its big brother!

Answer 3

Right now, the Xbox 360. The PS3 has some crazy potential, but numerous defects and a small number of good games makes it hard to justify the $600+ purchase. By this fall, the Xbox 360 will drop in price and Halo 3 is being released in November, not to mention all the games being released between now and then and all the games already released. Bottom line: the 360 is a more reliable system with a better game library right now and is definitely the smarter console choice.

Answer 4

well i had the ps3 at launch and never played it. a friend offered me 1000 for it so i took it. so over the last month i have been wondering the same thing. i am literally leaving in 20 minuites to go to bestbuy and i am going to buy the ps3. its just a better system. yes, as of right now the 360 has more games, but that will change. i hear too many problems with the 360. the kid i sold my ps3 too loves it and has never had a problem.

Answer 5

X Box, it has a bigger processor, more ram, a better hard drive and networks with a computer better tham a ps3. The only good thing about the ps3 is that they are a pretty cheap blue ray player
