Which is the best GAming divice (Ps or X box)?

Question

(Is it PSP or Ps2 or Ps3 or X box or any other)

Answer 1

This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below). Also this question is so often!!!

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 (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). 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.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). 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$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.
23). But, to be just, I'm not a PS3 fanboy, so (despite I own one) hear this - PS3 games (exclusives) are very hard to develop due to complicated Cell's architecture. We have to wait till developers will figure out how to develop games properly. Sometimes multiplatform games run not so good on PS3 due to the same developing issues - it's hard for developers to get a grip on such advanced technologies.

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

Answer 2

I prefer PC on-line gaming. 1. The games that you can get for the console are better graphics and they can put more game play into it. 2. You do not have to put up with all of the console bullshit(mostly pointed toward the 360 for now). 3. The only game right now that I know of that you have to pay to play is WOW. All of the other games you can play for free. 4. You can do a lot more with a PC than you can a 360 or a PS3. 5. The games are cheaper not a by much but they are cheaper. So if you have the extra money get a PC problem solved.

Answer 3

This question has been asked so many times..

But yeah!

PS3 = More powerful and has big plans for 2008

(Release of home) Resident evil.. Metal gear solid.. Final fantasy.

The thing about PS3 they had a bad start.

360 came out before it and it is a great console do not get me wrong.

If you are looking to purchase one now I would go for the ps3..

The features are incredible and fair enough you can play music when on a Xbox and play a game at the same time

Next ps3 firmware update will have that. They want to make an impact next year and show the true power of the ps3..


360 has done its bit and has a FEW good games.. Eveyrtime I ask somebody "ohh what games are good for the 360"

I can gurantee you 99% they will say these.

"OMG LIKE ITS AMAZING DUDE"
"IT HAS,

-Gears of war
-Halo

Over and over again. The rest of the games for 360 are not very popular..

Ps3 = Home

Compare home to Xbox live?

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyquAXKeEI0

And its completely free!

To put it straight in words.

Ps3 = Great features and customer service. 0.03% in breaking down. (Not many games at this moment)

Future for PS3: Home online community, exclusive games. Bigger disks for games.

360: 33% in breaking down AKA "The ring of death"
Lots and lots of games, Has been out longer than the PS3
Good online community.


Xbox price is cheaper than a PS3

Ps3 has better features


YOUR CHOICE DUDE!

Answer 4

when it comes to the hard ware PS3 is way more advanced...3 times the processing speed and also online features are free...Xbox has more games right now but that will change quickly. PS3 just needs a good stand aloen title and it will be delared the winner by everyone....fact is everyone wants a ps3 but if you can only afford an xbox then thats what you will get

Answer 5

It depends on the person. Most people I know like the x-box 360 best, I like the wii and psp. It depends. I think 360 has more games and they look better, but I like the blue ray feature in the ps3, but when I'm traveling or bored at work or waiting like at a dr. office, my pref. is psp.

Answer 6

I think that the PS3 is the best gaming system, even though the PS2 and PSP are great gaming systems.

Answer 7

There are a lot of discussions about PS vs XBOX but I think definitely PS3 is the winner.

Answer 8

PS3 for sure

Answer 9

Answer 10
