Is the X-box 360 better than Ps3?

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

The question which you have basically asked has been asked a great style of circumstances, you have saved your self 5 factors by staring at different questions and solutions of your comparable question. i want to propose which you get the PS3. The PS3 has the right photographs and overall performance. The failure fee of PS3's are below a million%, the Xbox 360 failure fee is 30%. With the PS3 you may actually play video games for days and the console wont over warmth as long because it has the right ventillation. The PS3 does have great on line gameplay, however the Xbox 360 in my view is greater of a multiplayer/on line interest console. i do no longer play multiplayer video games or play on line so it is not appropriate to me. I also have a PS3 and it is for sure the right. in case you get a 360, you would be dropping funds simply by fact the probabilities of it getting the pink Ring of dying is incredibly in all possibility, the PS3 has WiFi and each thing else outfitted in. The PS3 is a console for game enthusiasts that want to play all varieties of video games from shooters, racers, action/journey, RPG's and greater. The PS3 has a greater distinctive unique interest library. The Xbox 360 is a console that has maximum First individual shooters and shooters for it is unique video games. i'm a distinctive gamer, i'm a Sony gamer, and the PS3 is the greater suitable decision.

Answer 3

Technologically speaking, no.
Cheaper? Yes.

Check out the games you want to really play before buying a console dude. Final Fantasy is a Playstation exclusive franchise. Same goes for Halo ( X-box) or the Mario games for the Wii. ( Yes, I know the Wii is the weakest system, technologycally speaking, but if that's the game you want to play, just go ahead and get it.

I own a Playstation because I love the Final Fantasy games, Metal gear, and Gran Turismo.

Answer 4

No, the Xbox 360 has a 33% failure rate due to numerous major hardware design flaws, only uses DVD (8.5GB), and it's Xenos/Xenon are outdated.

The PS3 has a defect rate around 0.02% and uses Blu Ray Discs for games and movies (can hold up to 50GB, 200GB in experimental models), and it's Cell/RSX combination are much more powerful than the xbox 360's Xenos/Xenon.

As you can tell from the previous responses Xbox 360/ Halo fans are mildly retarded/ misinformed and have no common sense.

Answer 5

If you like Halo, yes. Otherwise, no - technologically, the PS3 is far more advanced than the 360.

Answer 6

is eating a 1 year out of date egg better than eating kobe beef with all the nice extra`s? the xbox is NOT better than the PS3..

Answer 7

In my personal opinian, yes. I say this because xbox360 has better games and has produced more games giving a wider variety to choose from. The main seller is xbox360's advance online gaming community which is spot on. I suggest going to any site where they compare the two systems and see for yourself.

Answer 8

No way.

Answer 9

No

Answer 10

X-box 360 DER!!!! YA IT RULES IT HAS HALO DER.
