Answer 1

xbox 360
all you are doing with the PS3 is paying a few hundred dollars extra for the blu-ray DVD player

Answer 2

I think the Xbox 360, I have got one, But technically the PS3 is better.

Answer 3

Lol xbox 360 easy the xbox live is really fun + 360 have halos 2-3 witch are two of the best games made halo 3 probably outsold ps3 and its a game lol ps3 is really high price for a console and 360 is affordable prices and to the person who said wii is better then them all ROFL 360 is hd i dont see any hd in wii? wheres the live on wii to??? there is none wii is boaring unless you like standing around with a controll pretending to punch the t.v or w.e lol so 360 would be the best option and it looks best too:P also the 360 20 gb and ps3 60 doesn't matter because if it means that much to you get the xbox 360 elite witch is still cheaper then ps3 lol

Answer 4

Do your own research and then decide which is right for you. You will have mixed views on here as people who own either one of the consoles will say they are better, most of the time, without knowing the facts. aka 'Fanboys'. I have a PS3 which I use mostly for the Blu-Ray player. But the choice is yours =]

Answer 5

The PS3 is expensive and only has shooting games (well, almost all) and the 360 has some pretty good games. Wait until a lot more games come out first, then see which ones are the best.

Answer 6

ps1 and 2 were very good now the ps3 has come out is way overpriced and the xbox360 is class i got a nintendo wii ps2 and a xbox360. sony aren't going to get better than the ps2 any time soon. the wii is brilliant too.

Answer 7

if you been with ps comp. than that's one reason but if you want that whole popular online game thing than that's another ps3 has better graphics though but its also on which games u want for each but try finding a place where you can rent gaming consoles and give each one a week

Answer 8

Ps3 if you've stuck with Playstation all your life. That's the reason I bought one. The Playstation controller can't be beat.

Answer 9

PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs. Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%.

PS3 has 7+1 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
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 100 $

Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 6800 Ultra nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 6800 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.

PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.

Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" 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 an 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 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......

PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.

There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.

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

The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console.

On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.

PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 120 GB will cost you around 120$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.

Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. Soon there is going to be cheaper 40GB version of PS3.

Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.

Answer 10

hey it's ps3 all the way but if your one of thosse people that dont have the money for a 60gb then get the new 40gb but it has no backward compatability
