Answer 1

PS3 is better.

Let's compare them

PS3 has 8 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 50 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular DVD (4.7 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operations per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-operations per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 130 $

Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of doom" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.

Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is a uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.

In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360". :-)

I own Ps3.

Answer 2

choose the PS3. I rather have been an xbox 360 proprietor for over a 12 months the subject is it has sat at xbox for 5 months all mutually. The final unit they sent me replaced into kind new so I although cool this one has to paintings ('reason they are asserting they have all of it discovered). BAMB 20 min once I start up taking part in it the purple ring of death. so they're nonetheless making crap instruments. i'm pissed!!!! I advised the to throw it interior the trash and deliver me a PS3. They stated sorry they could no longer do this.

Answer 3

hi well i have played both i would get the xbox 360 first cause i think it is a lot better than ps3 cause ps3 all it has is the internet pic saveing umm and other computer stuff the xbox 360 is a good choice cause it plays games to and has internet but the only cool thing about ps3 u dont have to press a button to open the dis tray u juat put your hand there ad it opens but its your choice soo iam just recommeding xbox 360 ok by

Answer 4

right now, i think that you should get a ps3 because the 60 gb will not be out during christmas time plus, the ps3 will be sold out at that time because they are dropping the price of the 80gb to $499 so ps3 will have more chance of being sold out. 360 have been out longer and more people have it so less people will be buying the 360.

edit: by next year, ps3 will be better than 360 when the developers become used to the ps3 system

Answer 5

"360 becus halo" is the answer you are going to get a lot of. I would go with the ps3. It has more long lasting value, has a lot of cool features, and other stuff. I usually type long responses to these but I don't feel like it. Ps3 is better than 360

Answer 6

Get the Xbox 360. It has a HUGE library of games, because Microsoft pays companies to make game exclusive to the 360. So far the only good game I've heard for the PS3 is "Resistance: Fall of Man."

Also, I think Sony has bad customer support. They seem to say the dumbest things (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bullshit) That website tells you basically the things Sony does that makes me NOT want a PS3(Besides the fact that I'm a Xbox 360 Fanboy)

Answer 7

Well the 360 has a lot better games, & Halo 3 is coming out pretty soon.

Playstation 3 doesn't have as many good games for the time being, & the only one I'm watching out for, GTA IV, has been delayed til at least April '08.

I'd go with the 360. Plus, it's cheaper.
