Question

PS3 or XBOX 360? Please help, can't decide.... Not for me, 26 yr. old man!!!!! Money is not a factor.?

Answer 1

ps3 is much better than the xbox 360 in many ways:



High def

better graphics

dont have to pay to play people over the internet

blu-ray movies (HD movies)

motion sensing controllers

in other words it's like a Wii and an Xbox 360 combined

Home (a huge 3d good graphics version of Habbo hotel)

PS2 backward compatability (there are still good games 4 ps2 while you wait for ps3 games to come out)

7 players at once!!! (xbox 4)



really good games coming out/that are out:

tekken 6

gran turismo 5

GTA IV etc.

FIFA 08

Resistance fall of man

Motorstorm

Call of duty 3

Call of duty 4

Metal gear solid 4: guns of patriots

Answer 2

I Love my 360, I have a friend that has a ps3 and thinks the 360 is better and is going to buy one this x mas. really graphically they are about the same you can go to IGN or Gamespot.com the have done comparison on same LCD TV, in many cases the 360 has better Graphics.

I think the 360 interface is much better. the market place is huge, ps3 is small. the 360 you can download tv shows, movies, game video, and my favorite lots Game Demos video arcade and when they have E3 or any game conferences they post the video and demos . Right now 360 games out sold ps3 and wii put together, second they also have the most highest ranking games, that the ps3 doesnt have. go and check it out here http://majornelson.com/archive/2007/10/18/september-npd-numbers-are-in.aspx



The six axis controller on the ps3, it;s ok for a few min but you tend to use the standard controls setup, biggest complate of the ps3 is it light weight and no rumble in game, which stinks. The 360 has an awesome controller, but if your are ps2 owner some people say it take a little time to adjust to.



If you play online it worth the 50 a year. online ranking, chat with multi friends even if playing different games, quality of service, custom music in any game , music connect pictures video from you pc and media center extender and much more to list and more added all the time making it better. check out the online compare video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Txw5Jf8-go

look at all the service features here

http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1147/Xbox-360-Software-and-Services-Features/p1



well and really if money not an issue you can buy both or buy both and return the one you don't like and rent the games if you don't want to buy, but remember you can download around 200 demos from the 360 even some before they are even released. well that will hopefully help your descion process.



for frailer rates on the 360 I have not had any and from what I heard they have almost disappeared since all the updates, plus there is a 3 year ring of death on it and great customer service from Microsoft it it happens to fail, plus may store have service contracts on them that would help if there is any issue that occurs past the 30 day return or trade policy, most of the issue happen in that time.



I would buy the elite 360 because of the value, i tend to use up my 20gb drive, plus the elite comes with 120gb, charge & play kit and hdmi and component cables which ps3 doesn't have included.



Have some Good Game Shopping

Answer 3

go with the 360 Elite. It's a great system, huge capacity (120gb), not to mention the Xbox has the BEST games out (Call of Duty 4, Halo 3 etc....), Also not to mention that the 360's multiplayer section (Xbox Live) is an award winning setup that will seriously make your man happy. PS3 is good, but longterm it's not gonna handle what Microsoft is capable of doing with the 360.

Answer 4

XbOX 360! Why you say! Better online, better games, more games and not as expensive. Hands and feet down, get a 360 and join the fun!

Answer 8

*******PS3 Facts and Information*******



Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:



A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%.



PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 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.

Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second

Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second

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.

PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers

Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers

PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)

Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $



Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 6800 Ultra nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 6800 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.



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.



Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 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".



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.



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......



PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.



There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.



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).



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.



PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.



Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. Soon there is going to be cheaper 40GB version of PS3.



Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.



PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 controller is getting vibrocontroller soon (Dualshock 3).



On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.



New 40GB is coming with a lower prive between around 400$ and 400 euros (depends on the region).



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

A friend of mine who works in the business sent me this comparison. One thing to remember is that not all of the PS3's are backwards compatable (meaning they can't play PS1 & PS2 games). The 20GB and some of the 40GB are not, but some of the 40GB are and all of the 60GB and the new 80GB are. I have also heard a rumor that early next year SONY is putting out a 100GB version. I own a PS2 and when I do buy a new system it will be a PS3. Hope this helps, GAME ON!!!!

Answer 9

I have both, and both are great. Either one will be awesome, however, the PS3 has alot more right off the bat to offer. Downside is the pricetag.

Answer 10

I would never purchase a xbox. They're way too over priced.

I do have one but I didn't pay for it. I used freebie site on my page.

Answer 11

PS3, has better graphics, and has a Blueray player in it so you can buy high definition DVDs.

Answer 12

PS3 dude......hands down
