what does a ps3 have that makes it better than da xbox 360?

Answer 1

the 360 , 360 elite and 360 65nm is hardware locked into outdated dx9 graphics...It cannot be upgraded...PS3 GPU is already two years ahead of it's time so developers won't even be programming for it's full capapbility for two years... Programmers are now developing for dx 10. (full 3d and 4d motion realism)

What makes the ps3 better--- It's the engineering, the ps3 is a hardware driven super gaming computer --all the componants were engineered specifically to work together...Sony has been engineering and building computers, video equipment, and entertainment equipment for over 30 years....

Microsoft basically took a grab bag of parts available two years ago and threw together a computer that is software driven... With that comes alot of issues. Microsoft has only been on the hardware side of computers for 7 years,,, They spent more time designing the exterior of the xbox then they did the internal componants....

Answer 2

I think the PS3 is the best system out of any the three game systems because of

A) Free online, which is also improving quite a bit

B) Is somewhat cheaper than the Xbox 360

PS3: -----------Xbox 360:

60gb PS3-$500 -----------Xbox 360 Elite (120gb)- $450
HDMI slot-Free---------HDMI slot- Only with Elite
Wifi-Free ----------Wifi- $99
Rechargeable Controllers-Free --------Recharge Kit- $20
Online-Free -----------Online- $50 a year
Blu-Ray Player-Free---------------HDDV... Player- $179

Total: $500 ----------------Total: $798

You might not use these accessories, so that’s why I say the PS3 is “somewhat cheaper”
Also why I said you have to get an Elite to compare it to the PS3 is because the elite is the only 360 console that has HDMI, which basically means it’s the only package that can get you true High-Def.

C) Has great exclusives coming out and all of these are different variety:
Heavenly Sword, Lair, Eight Days, Warhawk, Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Online, Killzone 2, Grand Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, Getaway 3, Driver 5, God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Jax and Daxter: Lost Frontier, Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man, SOCOM: Confrontation, Tekken 6, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and White Knight Story. That’s all the games I can think of over 5 minutes.

Ok, now onto the boring stuff…

D) The PS3 is superior due to cell technology. This allows the PS3 to produce complex graphics far superior to any other console. The PS3 has a little over 2tfps and the Xbox 360 has 1. This basically means how well the system can do generating backgrounds like rain, clouds, etc. It also has to do with the amount of realism in graphical explosions and destruction scenes. The down side is however that it will be a while until game producers can max its potential because the cell processor is somewhat new in technology. That’s why games on the Xbox 360 look somewhat better right now. However, in about a year or two the PS3 will have better graphics. This is somewhat good too because then Sony wont have to make another console as soon because the PS3 has room to grow with technology, but then again nobody knows what technology can do in 5 years.

E) PS3 will probably be the better quality as in life span. Many Xbox 360s are already having hardware problems (25%-33% Xbox 360 have 3 red rings of death) when there has only been a reported 1% failure chance with the PS3. PS3 also has an emergency shut down feature, so if you PS3 overheats it will automatically shutdown until it is out of a dangerous temperature.

F) The PS3 has Blu-Ray. Blu-ray is a new type of video disc that allows movies and games to be more Hi-Def. The Blu-ray disc can hold up to 50gb allowing game developers to develop a longer game, better graphics, etc. The Xbox 360 only uses its game on classic DVD discs, which can only hold around 8 or 10gb depending on what type of DVD. Basically this means Xbox 360 games will have to be put on 2 discs in the future (for really big games)

Answer 3

Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only 0.3%.
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-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... 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 2008 we'll get more than 300 games.

In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".

Answer 4

-A blu ray player used for blu ray movies and for video games it is the next generation disc medium which can store up to 50GB (200GB in experimental models) The extra space allows game developers to make large responsive environments, complex artificial intelegance, HD video and audio, etc. without compression.(xbox 360 uses DVD which can only hold 8.5GB, while blu ray holds up to 50GB (and soon 200GB with multi layers)

-Built in wifi

-a web browser

-Free Online- with the 360 you have to pay.

-soon Playstation Home

-Other operating systems- The ps3 can get different operating systems installed, such as Linux, allowing it to be an alternative computer, and you can install many different programs. (the 360 can't do this)

- The Cell Processor, which is over 2 times as powerful as the xbox 360's xenos processor, also paired with the RSX GPU which is very powerful in it's own areas and pools RAM with the cell.- Both of which contributes to the ps3's vast superiority in terms of graphics.

HDMI 1.3- the 360 elite only has 1.2, while the ps3 has 1.3 for the best audio and visual quality available

-The ps3 is the true High Definition gaming console, the xbox 360 only upscales it's games into 1080p, while the ps3 can run natively 1080p games. If you want you can also message within games, or when you're browsing the web, or anything, also, you can play music at all times, except while in game (which will be fixed soon)

- Tons of exclusives such as- Metal Gear solid, Final Fantasy, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, God of War, heavenly sword, Lair, Haze, Resistance: Fall of Man, Ratchet and Clank, etc.

Answer 5

Agreed the PS3 has better graphics and a blu ray drive... however the 360 has much better things.

Graphics are almost as good, HD, Xbox Live, Play music whilst doing anything, Marketplace, message when doing anything...

So Xbox 360 is better but to answer your question Grapgics and a blu ray drive. Wow... it has a web browser - I'll ditch my computer to surf on the TV =P

Answer 6

Please don't waste your money on a Xbox360. I was at a friends house yesterday and he has a 360. And when no one was playing it he said to turn it off because he doesent want his house burned down. and its true the the 360 overheats more than the PS3. Another thing, FREE INTERNET PLAY AND BROWSER. please get it! and if you do my PS3 name is agentjon. I got resistance, madden, MLB the show,and nhl.
If you get it Nhl is a good pick if you like hockey, or get warhawk- i heard its really good.

Answer 7

That kid above me must be on crack. You can turn your PS3 on with the controller.

Answer 8
