Answer 1

PS3 is $499 and the Xbox 360 Elite is $479. $20 dollar difference...

PS3 games produced are on Hd 50gig blueray (more space for better graphics without sacrificing game levels and game size..) GTA4 developers even stated that the game will have better graphics and gaming on the ps3 version and are having issues with the 360 version because of 8gig dvd game format... They may have to make the 360 version on multiple disc so if you like getting out of your chair alot while playing, .....

360-elite games produced on dual layered 8gig dvds
game developers are finding the 360 format to limiting and finding that they have to sacrifice game graphics or gaming levels and challenges...Bungie the makers of HALO series have parted the exclusive ways with Microsoft and are now developing games that are multiplatform...

Ps3 for the extra $20 you get a full HD entertainment system that also surfs the internet. You can goto any website and watch or download videos like YouTube...You can access your email and print it etcc...

Ps3 Blueray hd movie player that also upscales regular dvds movies to HD...It also upscales ps2 games to hd..

Ps3 comes with rechargeable controllers...

Ps3 comes with free online play and Wifi

All of the above the 360-elite can't do.
360 and elite -For hd movies you have to buy the hddvd player for $200. For

360 elite for quick charge kit you have to buy it for $20.

To play online the 360 charges $50 a year

360 elite no interent browser

Ps3 hdmi 1.3 (supports deep color)
360-elite- 1.2 doesn't support deepcolor 1.3

Ps3 Nvidia RSX GPU Graphics at least two years ahead of it's time. And programmers aren't even close to using it's full potential yet.
360-elite is hardware locked into outdated DX9 graphics-Game programmers are developoing for DX10 (full 4d and 3d motion realism)

THe ps3 8cell broadband processors. CPU-Designed specifically for highspeed calculations (Games Capable of more AI charactors )

Xbox 360 -Elite-- The New 65NM CHip....Isn't any different then what they used in the 360 core except it cost less to produce....

Ps3 you can buy any external usb harddrive and hook it up loaded with music videos , etc...You can buy any brand 2.5 ata harddrive and upgrade the harddrive size for ps3...

THe elite and 360 requires Microsoft harddrives only- for a 20gig it's $100, for the 120 it's $189

360 -elite for wifi you have to pay an additional $100 and online gaming is $50 a year...And for that $50 a year to play online you also get stuck with third party in menu advertising...

To use 60% of what the 360 and elite can do you have to buy the addons and you'll spend over $750 before you even insert a game.

THe elite and new 360s hdmi, 65nm( falcon), red ring of death--Microsoft has no Idea what the cause is, You can't fix what you can't find. So yes they are all vulnerable.

THe 360 sales numbers are game producer driven by three titles HALO, bioshock ( rumored to be multiplatform soon and availble to the pc now) and Gears of war (available to the PC now)...If it wasn't for those titles many gamers wouldn't tolerate the limitations and engineering flaws of the 360

Get the ps3 you can use it for so much more. We own all three. THe wii, elite and ps3

Answer 2

I recommend the PS3.

Since you said that you don't plan on playing online, then the PS3 would be a good choice. But don't get me wrong because the PS3 has some good online games, it's just that the majority of the Xbox 360 games are so focused around online gamplay and the PS3 games are somewhat the opposite and Sony has good games that have a good story mode/campaign mode to them.

For instance, Halo 3 is about a 4-5 hour campaign mode game from what I've heard. Basically Halo 3 is nothing but a online game, because the campaign mode is so extremely short.

On the other hand Uncharted Drakes Fortune is a 10-12 hour game and to unlock everything in the game you have to beat the game multiple times and there is no online play. I'm not a online gamer either. I just prefer playing the story modes in games because it's the story that makes a game really good to me, not online play.

Also you mentioned that you like adventure games and that's the PS3's speciality. Games like Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Rachet and Clank Future Tools of Destruction and Heavenly Sword are very good adventure games. Oh yea, and I can't forget about God of War 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, and another Jak and Daxter game that is coming down the road for the PS3 as well, and those will be awesome action/adventure games.

In terms of life span, realiability, future games, and future potential, the PS3 is the console to get.

Answer 3

I am thinking the PLAYSTATION 3 and heres why: The elite Xbox360 are 480 $ and the elite PS3 are 500$ so its not that much difference. Just wait theres more.

A PS3 has a built in Blue-ray DVD player in it the 360 doesnt even have high definition witch is worse than blue ray studies prove it. and a wii cant play any form of DVD. Blue ray also holds more memory.

To use xbox live you pay big money per month but the PS3 has free online services. The wii doesnt have any.

Now if anyone is thinking about the limited games a PS3 has you have to remember it came out a whole year after the 360. And the games are blue-ray witch hard coat the disks and makes them more scratch resistant.

Tis why I think the PS3 is better because I have information to back it up not just personal bias.

Answer 4

If you looking for graphics, your probably going to want to get the PS3. However, at this time.. There are very few games for the PS3 that are significantly better graphics than the 360. I have a 360, and I love it. As a recommendation from personal experience, I would recommend the 360.
Good Luck

Answer 7

Xbox360...the ring of death only happens if you do not take good care of your 360, or if it is defected. The defected ones have already been dismissed so you are good to get a 360, way better and more reliable console
