the ps3 is clearly better than the xbox 360…i actually own both and they both cpst exactly the same when you finish setting it up. first of all, the ps3 is 400 and the xbox 360 is 350. but with the xbox 360 you need to get xbox live or theres no point. so when you buy a year of xbox live its $400 total. ok then 2 weeks later you get the red rings of death so then you need to send it to microsoft and wait the year to get it back and finish the warranty….lol. anyways the ps3 is faster and better. it may be huge but it looks so sexy. also the ps3 just came out so it still doesnt have the best games out there. oh and if you want to watch decent videos for xbox 360 you would need to buy the hd-dvd player so another $100. and if you prefer wi-fi its another $100. so when it comes down to it, the ps3 is the better buy.

and microsoft is so stupid they still arent making xbox 360s with the HDMI output. and when are they going to fix the red ring of death scenario?

THIS IS THE REPLY FOR: jdk4174

 

PEOPLE I AM I COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. I AM GOING TO GO BY THE NAME OF INTRO BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO OFFEND MY EMPLOYERS OR RISK MY JOB. THERE IS ALOT OF ARGUMENTS OVER WHICH CONSOLE IS BETTER 360 OR THE PS3.

I HAVE MADE GAMES FOR BOTH MICROSOFT AND SONY

IN SHORT THE BETTER CONSOLE IS THE PS3. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

jdk4174 SAID: THE 360 IS TWICE AS POWERFUL. THIS IS ######## SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT A 360 HAS 3 PROCESSORS AND A PS3 HAS 7. SO JUST IGNORE ANYTHING HE SAYS.

ANOTHER FACT IS THAT 360S ARE STILL USING DVDs. A PS3 USES BLU-RAY DISKS. BLU-RAY DISKS HAVE ALLOT MORE MEMORY THAN DVDs THEY ARE THINER AND CAN BE READ IN ALMOST HALF THE TIME. ANOTHER COOL THING ABOUT BLU-RAY DISKS IS THAT THEY ARE ALMOST SEE THROUGH!

ONE THING THAT HAS REALLY PUT ME OFF OF X BOX IS THE SIZE OF THE CONTROL PAD! PS3 PADS ARE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE AND ONE MORE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT X BOX PADS. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE WIRELESS ONES SEPRATLY AND THEY REQUIRE BATTERIES! THE DEFAULT PS3 PADS ARE WIRELESS WITH IN-BUILT BATTERIES WHICH YOU CHARGE BY PLUGGING INTO YOUR PS3 AND THEY LAST FOR 3 DAYS NON STOP!.

GRAPHICALLY WISE THE TWO CONSOLES ARE ABOUT THE SAME. WHEN NEW EXCLUSIVE PS3 GAMES COME OUT THAT ARE NOT ON THE X BOX(e.g. Tekken) YOU WILL SEE WHAT A PS3 CAN REALLY DO.

AS FOR THE INTERNET SPEED A PS3 IS NOTICEABLY FASTER BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PROCESSORS IT HAS.

THIS IS THE LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING I AM GOING TO SAY ON THE MATTER. WITH A PS3 YOU CAN RUN WINDOWS OR LINUX ON IT. IF YOU DON’T BELEIV ME RESEARCH IT ON GOOGLE!

THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THE MATTER.

Just got a ps3 for christmas after owning an xbox 360 since the day they come out
aint nocking the 360 but the ps3 is F**King Amazing Stuff u can do on it is endless

yeh 360 blows…7 processors in the ps3 as opposed to 3 in the 360. pay respects to the more modern system. X box may have launched a whole year earlier. but that just means the ps3 had an extra year to prep its system. you think sony didnt rip apart an x box 360 to findout what they needed to do to make it better? thats why the launched the elite…well it still blows/ clocked way slower

okay the 360 is obviously cheaper, but i got both anyways, 360 first as it was released a lot sooner. the ps3 runs games a lot smoother, win xp on it isnt as fast as promised but the yellowdog linux runs amazingly fast for a console. again my computer core2 duo runs it a lot a lot faster but w/e its manageable.  it actually was very easy to install, and turns on a lot faster than my pc so i preferr using it at times. in addition my xbox has redringed about 4 times. i have figured out the new “damp towel” cooling method, but hate having to let it overheat for 30 minutes every 2 days. ps3 was said to overheat a lot more, as you may have heard, theoversized toaster, and thats false. im actually typing this from my ps3 which has been running for about 96 hours, as i do not really turn it off since i have xp i can use sleep mode which is basically what it has anyways, making it turn on fast but w/e. they both have their ups and downs, 360 was amazing for its time, but its time is over. it was a fantastic system back then but all good things must come to an end, and ps3 is definately better for now. the new xbox will prbobly be twice as fast as ps3 and will be a lot better, but until then ps3 is better. its just newer. thats it. not that xbox engineering isnt great.btw wii sucks, i got it also and other than the opera web browser its just plain boring ad childish well, the interaction is mildly entertaining, but will we not get a formattable system to compete with sony and microsoft from nintendo? the company has been dropping quality in recent years and honestly nintendo 64, though a cartridge game was a lot smoother, and had far better game design than playstation but in recent years nintendo has really let themselves go, like a supermodel who gets married and gets fat. shame on you nintendo shame on you. especially with stock selling for 15 times as much as sony and microsoft.

IGN.com did 5 tests on both PS3 and XBOX 360   this is correct,
4 out 5 tests showed the Xbox360 performed Better.    this is correct.

the playstation may have more power on paper. but its to difficult to fully use. even if Game developers find a way, the next set of consoles will be more powerful.
Sony left it to late to compete. the next console war they will have to come in earlier to stand a real chance.

think if it this way.
a new supercar(PS3) comes out and its £100,000, they say it will do 0-100 in 0.5 seconds if the right driver drives the car.
would you buy it
or would you buy the 50,000 ferrari(xbox360) that anyone can drive fast.

PS3 has the potential, but its almost impossible to cultivate its ( VERY REAL ) power. and by the time someone figures out a practical way to do it, it’ll be an old console.

I only own a PS3, i dislike xbox360’s, but i know when I’ve been beat.
