Obviously PS3, better games, graphics, network (FREE), Playstation Home application, blu-ray (Why get a blu-ray player when there is PS3?), better presentation, more stable, incredibly sustainable and almost silent, need I say more? Ok, internet browser, hard drive....etc



If you want to waste 10 times what it's worth replacing/repairing and paying some random ridiculous subscription fee then go with sexbox - it is attrociously loud, very poor quality, unreliable, definately NOT suited for long hours of a gamer's preference..



You would have to pay extra for:



-Hard drive

-Batteries

-Internet

-Ability to use internet...



Overall...Xbox is suited for faggy 9 year old's who have the knowledge of a postbox.



PS3. better suited for intelligent, modern, smart people..



And comparing the two is like comparing chalk and cheese.
You cannot be serious!

The 360, because it has better exclusives (such as Left 4 Dead, Fable 2 and Halo 3), as well as some great exclusives coming later this year and next (Forza 3, Mass Effect 2).



The new features it is getting later this year (Facebook, Movies on Demand, etc.) are pretty impressive, it recently got Games on Demand, so you can just download games from Xbox Live, and the online community is bigger

Xbox 360

Pro's



More games

Xbox Live - cross game chat - talk to friends online regardless of what game they're playing.

Xbox Live - more people online, more AUDIO chat as all units come with a microphone headset

Cheaper initial purchase price

Installs are optional - not mandatory

Ability to play your own music in game

Xbox backward compatibility

Multiplatform games generally look a smidgen better on the 360.



Cons



More wires due to external power supply (hardly a big deal)

Xbox Live - it's not free

Xbox Live - more kids swearing & cursing online as all units come with a microphone headset

Hard drive is microsoft proprietary & costs more + you can currently only go to 120GB

Batteres for controller or having to buy a charge & play pack

No Built in Wi-Fi - Microsoft external Wi-Fi add-on is expensive

No Blu-Ray - external HD-DVD is pretty much a dead format & no use for games.

DVD drive is noisy - optional installs solves this problem for games

Unit is noisy (new ones are quieter)

History of unreliability (new Jasper units are apparently a lot better, but only time will tell on this).



PS3

Pros



Quiet

Reliable

Built in Blu-Ray drive - plays Blu-Ray movies, upscales DVD's - 50GB storage for games as opposed to 9GB on the 360's DVD drive

Internet Browser - it's not as good as IE8 or Firefox, but it's usable

Built in rechargable batteries in controller - just plug into USB socket on PS3 using supplied cable.

Built in W-Fi

Standard 2.5" 5400rpm laptop hard drive installed - can upgrade without voiding warranty very cheaply - Sony even supplies instructions for this.

Built in PSU so less wires (one to TV, one to mains supply).

PSN Network & Online play is completely free

Less kids screaming abuse over microphones as PS3 doesn't come with a mic headset.

Exclusive games are the best looking games out there, & the upcoming titles for late 2009, early 2010 are looking amazing.

PS1 backwards compatibility (see Cons about PS2 compatibility).



Cons



Less games than 360 but still plenty

No Cross game chat - you can only talk on a microphone to people playing the same game as you or on the XMB

More expensive initial purchase price

Less Audio Chat as PS3 does not come with mic headset

Multiplatform games are generally a smidgen inferior on the PS3 due to development issues & iffy porting techniques.

Mandatory Installs - having to wait anything from 2-15 minutes before being able to start a game (every PS3 comes with a hard drive so developers use it as it's got faster access times than Blu-Ray).

Only 2nd hand older PS3's have PS2 backwards compatibility.

Can only play your own music in game if developers put that facility in - on a game by game basis.



In the end it depends on what games you want to play?



With regards to Hunters comment about the 360 being the number 1 selling platform. Sorry, it's not. The Wii has sold nearly as many units as the 360 & PS3 combined - doesn't make it better, just more popular.

if u r a casual gamer that doesnt really play games that much the 360 is gona b better. it is more user friendly and has really popular games (dont confuse popular w/ good). it also has netflix. it also has broken 7 times on me.

ps3 is for hardcore gamers that demand perfection from their games and hardware but dont really mind a slick interface with cool avatars. it has most of the features of a PC (usb slots for ipods, cameras, sd card readers, internet access etc. etc.) it is also a bluray player that is cheaper than most bluray players today. if u are a tech/game freak the ps3 is right for u.

i would suggest the ps3

i would say xbox 360, and also face book is coming to 3670 as well as twitter, sky tv and more. but on other hand if you get ps3 its free but not as good as an experience, my opinion. plus 360 has better games like forza, halo, gears of war.
