What Should I get an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3?

Question

I know a lot about these systems specifications. And by far the Xbox 360 is a very weak console. Even EA said at E3 that they can't do any more on the 360. I know the PS3 is a very superior console, but something keeps on dragging me to get an Xbox. I don't know what it is, but there's something I just like about the Xbox. Really like the achievements because every game has them unlike the PS3. So what should I get a PS3 or an Xbox 360?

Answer 1

well i have an xbox360 and my bro has a ps3 which i play so i have access to both consoles i myself kind of think they are about equal because they both have their ups and downs...xbox is pretty good with online its been around longer so has had time for new gamers...ps3 i like the graphics for some reason but when online the games load kind of slow (example:tryin to play a match in cod)





also keep in mind xbox ends up costin more in my opinion because u have to pay for memership, if u want ur system to be wireless u have to go out and pay $100 for the wireless adapter and microsoft is pretty much in it only for money but who isnt





ps3 ends up bein a lot cheap and my opinion i dont think sony are as money hungry as microsoft

Answer 2

First off, I own an Xbox 360, and have very little experience with the PS3.



The Xbox 360 is a great console. Tons of excellent games and a fun community. Xbox Live is very smooth and is great fun. It's only $50 a year, which translates to about 4 dollars a month. Also, Xbox Live Marketplace has extra purchasable content for every game. Also, in regards to the Red Ring Of Death, don't worry about it. I've had my Xbox since the month it came out, and have never had the RRoD. And should you get it, Microsoft will repair it for free.



In conclusion, I would say that if you plan on playing online, go with the Xbox. If not, the PS3 may be the way to go.

Answer 3

It depends. I have an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live. If you want a blu ray player, I would say PS3. If you want a game system, I would definitely recommend getting an Xbox 360 Elite. Microsoft has a ton of exclusive games, netflix, and Xbox Live. Xbox Live really sets it apart from PS3. It may not be free, but it's more than worth the $50 a year. I play Gears of War, Halo, and Call of Duty all the time with my friends. Watch Southpark on Netflix, too. Playstation just does not have the amount of games Xbox does. I have yet to see one game on PS3 that would make it worth the money. Also, PS3 and Xbox have roughly the same processing and graphic power.

Answer 4

Ignore what people say about the hardware strengths of the PS3 and 360 because they are more or less equal for now. You won't see anything clearly outshining the other (unlike the PS2 vs. GameCube/Xbox). The PS3 is "superior" in theory, but the only meaningful superiority it has is in its file format (Blu-ray which offers up to 50GB in dual-layer discs compared to DVD9's paltry 9.4GB).



As far as which you should get it, really depends. The 360 clearly shines in its online network, which, although Xbox Live Gold does cost money, offers a lot in its Video and Game Marketplaces. Its voice chat support and party support is far better developed than on the PS3.



The PS3 is the better media player, and it does have a Blu-ray player.



At the end of the day, it really depends on the games you want to play. Many big titles like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 will head to both systems, but you can't forget the system exclusives like Splinter Cell: Conviction, a 360 exclusive, and LittleBigPlanet, a PS3 exclusive.



EDIT: Why are you even asking us if you're so dead set against the 360?

Answer 5

360 has a superior online game play, even if it costs a couple bucks each month. It also has the Halo games (big plus). I really like it, and I don't think it's really weak in comparison... how is PS3 all that superior? It's supposedly capable of better graphics and sound, but the 360 seems to match it. Speed is the same thing. I like microsoft. Anyways, I think when the batteries on a PS3 controller break, you have to get a new controller. On the 360, you can just get a new battery pack for $10. 360 has netflicks too.

Answer 6

PS3. You get Blu-Ray and unfastened information superhighway so if the 360 on my own is greater least costly you're saving money someplace else reason a HD-DVDcontinual for the 360 is like £one hundred twenty. PS3 is greater valuable and is planned to final 10 years. of direction there is not any longer lots graphical distinction between the 360 and PS3 appropriate now however the PS3 hasn't even been out a 300 and sixty 5 days and builders are nevertheless getting used to it. There are some great video games for the PS3, with greater style than the shooters on Xbox such Heavenly Sword and Ninja gaiden Sigma as nicely as MGS4, Silent Hill 5, Uncharted and extremely final fantasy XIII that are popping out. additionally there is not any pink ring of demise. Sorry I went on, yet i'm bored with Xbox fanboys answering those questions with out giving authentic motives.

Answer 7

I would get a 360. The 360 is comparable in power to the PS3, contrary to what is stated in your question. If you compare specs on the two machines, the only real advantage for the PS3 is that it plays Blue Ray Discs. The 360 has a vastly superior library to the PS3. Companies such as Activision are looking at ending support for the PS3 as there is not a sufficient user base. The PS3 is also not as easy to program for as the 360. Unless the PS3 comes down in price, it isn't worth it.



If I were to get a PS3, I would wait for a price drop otherwise it isn't worth it.

Answer 8

u Should buy an Xbox 360 it have nt yet reached it peak although it competes with the ps3 after all.. Xbox 360 and ps3 both have the same very similar kinda things bt xbox 360 have an advantage that is u can modify ur xbox 360 and can run dvd r on it too and ya xbox live it rocks.. so buy an xbox 360!

Answer 9

If you like shooter games,

Xbox 360 for sure.



With all the exclusive shooter games for the 360,

you'll never feel like you made a wrong choice.



Plus the "bing" sound of getting an achievement makes you spend more time on a game,

instead of dropping the controller after just doing campaign on easy.



Plus, to me, it's more fun if you have more friends,

because the Xbox makes it easier to talk to friends and have a good time :D.



And trust me, games are a million times better with friends.



My vote: Xbox 360 all the way(:
