X-Box 360 or Playstation 3?

Question

I had the first Playstation when it came out and I loved. But once I got an X-Box, I never went back. So now that the new consoles are out, should I get an X-Box 360 Elite or go to the Playstation 3?

Answer 1

O.k. so you said that you had the first Playstation and once you bought the Xbox you never went back... so I guess that means that you didn't get the PS2. Man, you really missed out on the best game console of the previous console generation and the best exclusive Sony games ever made.

You should definantly go with the PS3. And since you didn't buy a PS2, the PS3 would be the perfect way for you to get caught up on all of the games that you missed out on because the 20GB, 60GB, and 80GB PS3's all have backward compatibility, but the 20GB and 60GB PS3's have been discontinued, so the 80GB PS3 will be the console that has backward compatibility currently. The 40GB PS3 cannot play PS2 games, but it can play PS1 games.

The PS3 is more reliable and doesn't have hardware issues like the Xbox 360 has (Red Ring of Death). The PS3 has more features built in and more advanced technology. The answer here is pretty simple: PS3 all the way. Get the PS3 and "Play Beyond".

Also, the PS3 has some good games out now and will have more, and better exclusive games than the Xbox 360.

Answer 2

This is so easy.

PS3... here is why (I own both systems)

Any PS3 other than the 40gb has Full backwards compatability with PS2 and PS1 games (360 uses software emulation as opposed to hardware emulation which means about 33% of original xbox titles will play on the 360) The PS3 hard drive is removable and upgradable to whatever size you want. Other than the Elite (120 gb) the 360 either has no hard drive or a 20gb hard drive that can only work with the 360. This is also important because with the PS3 you can download content from the games to the hard drive and cut down on load times. This is not possible with the 360 b/c of the low end that has no memory card. the PS3 has built in Wi FI adapter. To get the for the 360 its an add on that cost $100.00. Only the 360 elite has HDMI out of the box where as all PS3 have HDMI. Also, the PS3 has a built in Blu Ray player. To get an HD DVD player for the 360 will cost you $179.99 extra. The PS3 has more USB slots (7 to 3) The PS3 has a hook up out of the box to run on multiple TV sets for true split screen gaming. The PS3 has free online play (49.99/yr on 360). SO as you can see 499.99 for a PS3 is a much better deal considering it will cost you about 600-700 to get an equivalent out of a 360. Also, the PS3 argument that the games arent as good is over now because its been a year and all the big titles are starting to drop. God Of War 3, Metal gear 4, Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo etc... Oh yeah the PS3 has a built in internet browser also the 360 doesnt.....The Ps3 also doesnt have a high failure rate. The fact of the matter is 33% of all 360's have failed and need repair. Im on 360 #4 right now. The 360 is alos very loud and sounds like an air conditioner running. The Ps3 is quiet as can be. I just think the PS3 is more of an all around system. Not to mention they are beta testing using the PS3 as a DVR in Europe and as a TV tuner in Japan. The 360 can do neither. Multi Platform games now look similar or better on the PS3. The reason is the PS3 has a harder learning curve for developers and they are just now figuring out how to get the best out of it. In my mind the PS3 can be the center of your entertainment hub where as the 360 is basicly a limited gaming console that breaks down alot. I own both and I prefer my PS3. Besides that there are alot of great games foe the PS3 now. COD4, Tekken, Lair,Folklore,Time Crisis, Uncharted and much more.... I say go PS3...Like I said to get the same features from a 360 that the PS3 comes with out of the box is going to run you an extra 300-400 bucks... Not to mention if you dont buy the Elite you cant get HDMI...

Answer 4

Which console has the games you want to play on it?

For most people, this is the #1 thing to consider when purchasing a new game console. Since many games in this generation are "Multi-Platform" you'll want to look at the exclusives:

So if games such as Halo 3, Bioshock & Mass Effect appeal to you, go for Xbox 360

But if you'd like to play Lair, Heavenly Sword or Resistence: Fall of Man... go for PS3

Answer 5

360 has ten times the games which are better.

PS3 has better hardware, but since there is no good games, it's basically useless, unless you are going to use it strictly for the Blu-Ray player. Even if you are going to use the Blu-Ray player all the time, you need a 1080p TV to see any difference and most people don't have those types of TV's quite yet.

I'd pick up a 360 for sure.

Answer 6

all the technology in the world will not make up for a pathetic game library, the PS3 is a waste of money right now unless you want a cheap blu ray player.

If you want to play games (both on and offline) the 360 is the way to go.

Answer 7

i already have the xbox 360 but i am getting the ps3 as soon as i can, it will knock socks off the 360 any day of the week, i would go for the ps3 if you have neither but thats my opinion.
