wich one ps3 or 360 cause my dads about to go get one?

Answer 1

This is the end all argument for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Note that I am not a fanboy and have played both consoles and by far the Playstation 3 has longevity than the Xbox 360. These are facts and I have numerous sources. Why is this answer long? It refutes everything that Xbox 360 owners say about the Playstation 3.

Company:
Microsoft is a company which experiences are mostly computers not games. Windows Vista is a disaster and 50% of people switch back to Windows XP. Microsoft never answered people's problems, this is why people turn to Mac. When Microsoft heard about their Red Ring of Death, they didn't fix it, instead updated the warranty.

Sony's first Playstation was a success, so they know their field with this. Their smart and reliable and always help their customers when they need too. When Playstation 2 had a lens error, it was Sony who provided how to clean your Playstation 2 with a cotton swab and alcohol, not someone else.

Price:
Look at the bigger picture. With the Playstation 3 you are getting a Blu-Ray DVD player which like $300 on the market for the cheapest one. Playstation 3 most expensive model cost $600 bucks. Xbox 360 most expensive model cost $450 bucks. Let's say Microsoft don't come out for another console for 5 years so lets add their $50 subscription fee to play Xbox Live. That's $250 dollars + $450 dollars for a Xbox 360 in 5 years minus the games. So you are paying more than the Playstation 3 just to use it's features. Features that should have been granted to you when you spent the $450 bucks for their console.

Problems:
Playstation 3 had a slight bug problem (3% in consoles worldwide) but was fixed right away with re-releases of the consoles. People complained about their Sixaxis controller not having rumble technology so Sony has worked on Dualshock 3, which will be coming out in Spring 2008. They actually listen when someone complains.

Xbox 360 currently has a major hardware malfunction that only Microsoft can fix. This is a problem in 33% of their consoles in the United States (1 out of 3). Even in their new consoles, these problems still occur. Microsoft has offered to fix it for free and extended their warranty. The problem is it takes 6 weeks to get your Xbox 360 back and it could get stolen in the mail and you won't get reimbursed. In fact Xbox 360 is number 1 in the top ten bad electronics in 2007. Everyone I know is on their second console. If only Microsoft would tell local Gamestops how to fix the problem, but they don't have the best interest in gamers in mind.

Games:
Xbox 360 has better games than the Ps3 now, but by the end of 2008, the Playstation 3 will have way more better games. How do I know? E3 2007 graded every console. Wii got a C- because they talked about their success. Xbox 360 got a C because they talk about their games in 2007 such as Halo and BioShock. The Ps3 got a B- because their longevity is noticed and their games in 2008 will be the best out of the 3 consoles.

Xbox 360 has had a head start for a year and their games are slightly better than Ps3. Their top 3 games: Halo 3, Gears of War, and Bioshock are all First Person Shooters. They don't have a mix array of games. Microsoft dishes a lot of cash to the developers to keep games exclusive.

The best games for the Xbox 360 has come and gone. So you tell me you're going to sit there and wait 2-3 years for Halo 4.

Well right now there's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Tennis 3, Folklore, Uncharted, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Guitar Hero 3, Singstar and Call of Duty 4. Some games are for the Xbox 360 as well.

Upcoming exclusive games for the PS3 are Killzone 2, Haze, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Motorstorm 2, Wipeout, Yakuza 3, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea 3, The Getaway 3, Heavy Rain, SOCOM: Confrontation, Wardevil, LA Noire, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will all be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the maker of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next game exclusively on PS3.

Thats like 15 exclusives with high 9.0 reviews from Gamespot & GameInformer. Most of these games take over a month to complete so you won't be putting the Ps3 down for quite some time now.

Developers had 2 years to dish out games for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 is not far behind.

Online:
Xbox 360 online is better because more people since it came out a year earlier than the Ps3. When Ps3 introduces Home, the online community will become more connected and better.

In closing, you can't go wrong with the Playstation 3. Playstation 1 and 2 were major hits and the Playstation 3 will follow. Getting a Xbox 360 is like having a Daweoo, a pretty dumb idea.

Who are you going to choose? The 2 time back to back winner of the console wars or the sophomore that came back unprepared for a rematch (When I mean unprepared I mean buggy [like the ring of death])

The Ps3 is a end all hands down winner.

Answer 2

Then ask your self these questions. 1. What games do I want to play. Remember some games are exclusive, meaning they only are for one console. For instant mgs 4 is only on ps3 and halo is only on xbox 360. 2. The Consoles Network. Check what your friends have so you can play with them on the same network. When you play a game you don't use a all console`s network. PS3 have there PSN xbox 360 uses xbox live, so if you have ps3 and your friends have xbox 360 even if the game is identical. You will not play on the same network. 3. Money to spend. This is important bc if you don't have or you have less, then you cant buy it. Plus you need the money for the game. With playstation you have a free subscription to the psn but xbox 360 charges money, yes in psn you have playstation plus kinda like the xbox. Some say its worth but I haven't tried it out, guess its personal opinion/taste. To put it simple take the time and think what you want/need, so you don`t make a mistake and have to regret it.

Answer 3

Why in the world would anyone consider getting a Xbox 360 with the Xbox's still getting the Red Ring of Death? I don't care how many games a console has, if it isn't realiable it isn't worth buying.

The PS3 has free online play, more features, it's more relaible, it has good games out now, and will have bigger exclusives coming in 2008.

Answer 4

Xbox 360, way better games than PS3, better online experience and a way better line up for 2008. Also it has HD, and the over cost of the 360 is cheaper. Good Luck !! Merry Christmas. And don't forget to get Halo 3.

Answer 5

Get the 360

Answer 6

i have a 360, so i would say u should get it b/c the games that come out for it are good and 360 has alot more games than the ps3.

Answer 7

Woooaaahhhh! You have gotta believe me here. Get an Xbox 360, 360 elite if you can. Trust me, this is the right decision 360 has way better games. If you get it, which you should, buy Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Answer 8

PS3 it has blur ray free online no bugginess and the only thing that the 360 has good is first person shooters

Answer 9

The Xbox 360 elite is cheaper than the PS3, and you get a huge hard drive, hd port, wireless controller headset, jet black finish and a huge library of excellent games, plus an on line store and free xbox live playing time in select boxes, so, all in all the PS3 runs games faster making them look nice, but they don't have allot of games, and the ones they do have aren't rated very well, plus, the on line support isn't as fine tuned. good luck.

Answer 10

Get a 360! I played one at my friend's house: it was totally cool. Plus, I think the games that are on the ps3 are available for the 360 as well... so my friend told me. ^^ Happy playing!
