actually ps3 has more games... in fact it has about 3 times the number of exclusives... and unlike xbox most of the ps3 exclusives are good. Xbox is only good for fps junkies for the most part. Fuck if you like halo and gears of war and left 4 dead so damn much get a PC Side: PS3 is better

I own both consoles, and the thing is imo xbox has way better titles and a lot of them niche titles, which no one counts for, e.g naruto games. That said Ps3 does have the free net and people really need to stop using this as an excuse because you can get xbox live for £28 a year maybe unnecessary costs but its hardly gonna break the bank. And as far as specs go, the Ps3 has better specs yes. But does it use them? Hell no. The only game i have seen with significant graphical superiority is call of duty. Which moves me onto my next point. Is graphics really everything? i mean come on, I'd play one of the Mgs's on ps2 over the 4th any day, or one of the early street fighter's over a lot of modern fighters. Also all these people talking garbage about how ps3 has built in wi fi but it dosent even come with a headset! whats the good in having online when you gotta get killed umpteen times sending a god dam text message! The community online is far better on xbox and you don't need wifi if your close to your Internet hub. Who cares if xbox has been around longer? it's got the players deal with it. In my personal comparison i honestly feel ps3 has got the right stuff but it's not working it, i honestly don't get enjoyment out of my ps3 i buy it for games not for its bluray or any of that crap so you ps3 fans need to stop using that, cause we are buying consoles to play games... Side: Xbox is better
Ok, lets update this a little.. 2010 style (the day before E3) Now a little background on me, i currently own a ps3 but i have had a 360 for the past 2 years until it got the RRoD. Both systems are great but your points are flawed. PS3 having free online accesses to online games IS A GOOD THING!! and deserves to be mentioned as a PRO over, and over again. Unless you would rather spend the extra $50 u have left over on a paycheck on a subscription, rather then a used game at gamestop. Even tho its only one time a month it still sucks... True that the PS3 doesnt use the power that it could be using, but now (2010) PS3 games are making use of the technology, just look how freaking amazing Uncharted 2 is. Thats why i'll say this right now, the ps3 is a better system. And you are totally right, graphics arent everything but i wouldnt say i would play something with horrible graphics, thats just disrespecting my HDTV lol... Um @ your headset argument, i dont think the 360 comes with a headset either (unless im wrong) but that doesnt make a system better then the other. Plus i dont see a point in using a headset, most of the time i never have the need to talk to anyone, mostly because my friends dont play the same games i do, but thats just my opinion. How is the 360 community better? More 7yr old brats talkin' shit and bad mouthing ur mom while ur trying to play a game... some community. But thats the case on both systems... at least in the cases that iv played. IMO both communities suck because they are filled with ignorant players that need to act their age... but iv had less problems with that on the ps3. Maybe its just because 7yr old can only play halo 3 lol. And finally, yea you might buy a system just for games, but many MANY people want to INCLUDE their system into their home media centers and both systems allow you to do some pretty awesome stuff. But its because of blu-ray that the ps3 is better then the 360. NOT for the movie part of blu-ray, but the storage aspect. I dont know the specs offhand but the blu-ray disk can hold way more memory allowing for bigger, better games to be developed... that is if they are exclusive to ps3, otherwise developers will cut corners because it has to be released on the 360... thats life. Now to the future, with Natal/ Kinect vs PS Move ... IMO both useless to me since i like sticking to controllers. But Sony realizes this, and after reading IGN's hands on with SOCOM 4 w/ the PS Move, they say that the motion control will not be "overused" ... in SOCOM you just aim the gun with it motion controllers, theres no extra movements to reload or throwing grenades. It just makes unnatural things u do with a controller more natural. With Kinect u will have to do everything, not really a bad since its all natural (still kicks the wii's ass) but i doubt i will wanna stay up 10 hours straight standing in front of my TV playing the latest HALO. Moving on from that, PS3 now supports 3D. This is obviously not a big deal to most everybody, but the PS3 has the power/technology to just update itself with the latest technology, which is a PRO. 3DTV's are gonna be just like the HDTV, except they are affordable at first. Still not many people feel the need to buy one, but if u do then the ps3 will support it. Thats it for me, and thats why i think the ps3 is better. Sorry for the longness of this post.

A Blue-Ray disc can hold 54 GB of information with duel layer while a DVD can only hold 10 GB and as for the RROD issue Microsoft has fixed that problem with the new console units the newest console the XBox 360 slim comes with a 250 GB hardrive built in Wi-Fi out of the box and a wireless controller with a fixed RROD issue plus as for the 7 year old brats thats what the mute button is for you can mute any player on XBox Live and not everyone is like that Side: Xbox is better

ok, first off lets throw out the option of buying the regular xbox, its cheep and it shows it. they break more times than not and basically have no memory. alright now the elite cost just as much as the PS3 but cant hang. -PS3 higher HDMI output -PS3 free online -PS3 rechargeable controllers -PS3 built in wifi -PS3 internal power source -PS3 blue ray -PS3 less glitches -PS3 never brake so please xbox community let me know how in any way shape or form the xbox can even be sold in the same store as playstation...?

First of all Ps3's never break? yes i am a xbox but that does not mean that i do not know anything about them. My friend who is a no lifer at all cod4 said there is something called a yellow light and that is pretty much a red ring of death.(where the green light is when u turn ur ps3 on is where u get the yellow dot) And less glitches if there wasnt a glitch in the game. the game would suck, u have fun glitching and showing it to people. But back on to my statement. The red ring of death if u get lucky, Microsoft will replace yours for free or if it breaks if u have a warranty they will replace it. unlike the ps3 which there isnt a warranty. And ps3's use to be 700 dollars and if that breaks? what would happen. You get nothing. and if ur gonna say free online well u gotta pay for Internet? thats paying for ur subscription too. The rechargeable controllers u can buy rechargeable batteries at the store( if u can afford it after u buy a ps3). The HDMI output xbox could do that but they arnt because they know we do not need it. The xbox u gotta buy a harddrive its not built in it so if u wanted to go to a friends? u would have to bring ur ps3. the ps3 cant make any profit off it so thats why there isn't a warranty because if they had it. no profit for them.

before you decide to debate someone learn how to type. you ignore the facts. -yes graphics are better on the ps3 -yes it has bluray -yes free online but -graphics are perfectly fine on the xbox 360 with an hdmi cable -bluray is supremely overratted, not all movies are available in bluray and a acctuall bluray player isnt that expensive. -yes you pay for online but its 50 bucks a year for better online. now - the ps3 is more expensive -the ps3 over heats like a mofo -the ps3 takes 3 times the power to run something thats not any better than the 360. finally the 360 slim -built in wifi -250 gb memory -runs quieter -and kicks the ps3s ass out the water Side: Xbox is better

Blu ray isn't just for movies, its for better games too. Its a Pro so we should be able to use it. 360 fans need to stop with this "xbox is just fine" bs becaue its not, its old hardware trying its best to run modern games but it falls short. They cost the same anyway so why go with the weaker one? Anyways, blu ray allows better audio and visuals, and bigger, more feature rich games. c'mon its 8G vs 50G... the point 360 fans always try to make is that 50 is too much, more than a gamle will ever need. Well mgs4 had to be compressed to just barely fit... and even if it was extra, its better to have room to grow rather than not nearly enough room. Friggin xbox has games that use up 3 disks, that is pathetic. Besides, blu ray does make for better movies does it not? Well if you EVER plan on watching blu ray you're better off getting a ps3 than a blu ray player anyway, so um... yea. Side: PS3 is better

Naruto? Isn't that a kid cartoon or something? How is that a better title? Better titles are figured out by how much they sell and the want. better titles are things like: Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, GTA series, Gran Turismo maybe even, Super mario perhaps? Naruto is far from it. The ps3 has the better specs. Now to say they aren't using it is ignorance. It's up to the person(s) (or company) who makes the video game to use the full specs of the ps3. If they were used, we'd have games like crysis (which when it came out for the pc, there was no pc that could run it on max specs). The ps3 could. I doubt the xbox could even fit the game on the disk. Game makers have become lazy because of the xbox. Why make a game that's 30 gigs in size and super nice and pretty looking for the ps3 blueray, when we would have to downgrade it so much to fit on an xbox disk and to run on xbox's specs? It's cheaper to just make a less detailed and in-depth game and get rich off of it. It's all about money anyway at the end of the day The xbox online community is far worse on the xbox, opposite of what you say. They have so many hackers, cheaters, and exploiters who make the game worse. Just look on youtube "xbox exploit online" or other phrases. Microsoft just wants the money they don't care about cheaters. Why do you think on the PS3 AND psp has all those updates? its to block out hackers, which makes it fairer. I dont have to deal with aimbotters, glitchers etc on the ps3 like on the xbox. The xbox HASNT been around longer. Sony came out with the ps2 in 1994, whereas xbox 1 came out in 2001. Bill gates created the xbox because they saw the money nintendo and sony made selling games and wanted to hop on. All an xbox is, is a piece of harware whose purpose was to make bill and company more richer. The ps3 also has the move, which works better than the WII. They took notes from the wii and now the ps3 can do all the wii can and more. Cant say it can do what the 360 can and more because the xbox does less than the ps3 since day 1. So blame it on the game manufacturers for not using the 50 gigs a dual layer blueray can hold (and a ps3 can play), and blame xbox owners because those game makers want it on as many systems as they can to make as much money as they can, and since the xbox can only hold 4.5 gig STANDARD dvd's (which were created in 1994 vs. blueray which was created in 2005) so also. xbox people are on outdated almost 2 decade old technology! I also notie your name is fulmetotwo. so I take it your a kid who likes games like naruto, pokemon and whatnot. Your opinion isn't for debate. It's just your preference, not facts. My post is facts :-) Side: PS3 is better

Halo 3 is a brilliantly desighned game because - 1: you can make your own maps on forge 2: you can make your own game modes 3:there are over 20 different online game modes 4: there is a competitive ranked system online - where do you think C.o.d. got the idea? 5:the campaign is not only epic and can be played with up to 4 people at once but also has the hidden skulls. 6: It's vast storyline and Awesome charecters 7:you can customise you appearance 8:You can playback awesome moments in theatre mode Side: Xbox is better

two words why ps3 is better than Xbox 360 : RED RING, not to mention the fact that more of the newer games on both consoles eg. MW2 support Ps3 more than 360,(said by infinity ward themselves so dont bother arguing) and it is putting its capacity in use, its not playstation who make the games with detail retards remember? the companies do, another game, crysis 2 is coming out only on PC and PS3 because they are the only two machines/consoles which can handle it, DUHHH, another example, MAG-massive action game-coming out only on ps3 can hold up to 256 players on the one map, that in itself is something ridiculous,i havent seen Xbox try and do that so the gaming community is getting better, and truth be told: Xbox is on the way out and PS3 is only now being kicked into gear,specifically because of the more affordable prices,and new games.

ok first of all the RED RING is an issue thats been fixed on the newer consoles like the XBox 360 slip and second its not that Microsoft wouldn't dare to try to host a game with 256 players its just they are smart enough not too the more players you have in a single game the more lag you have because you don't have enough bandwidth plus you have to take into account the internet connection of every player not every player has a kick house connection plus bandwidth costs money so the more players you have costs go up Side: PS3 is better

btw, my friend has both 360 and ps3, he used to like 360 mainly because of games like halo 3 and gears of war, but he realised that Mw2, which is out on both consoles rips both apart, so why care about halo its crap now, and ODST is only making it worse.we need a new fresh game out, on which ever console preferrably both, thatll liven things up the way halo 1 and cod4 did back in the day.

Xbox is the clear winner for me for 7 reasons 7: I had an Xbox and a Ps3 and yes my Xbox broke within two years but this was fixed within a week and I was compensated by microsoft. Sony took 3 months to get it back to me when it broke and I was not compensated.My Xbox has not broken since. 6: Project Natal - Look it up 5: The Xbox 360 Elite has an external HD DVD player for a good price. 4: It has a built-in HDMI and it comes with an HDMI cable, and a Headset unlike the PS3. 3: The Xbox 360 Elite has a 120 GB Hard Drive andthe PS3, with its 80 GB, can’t compete. Also the Xbox... 360 Elite is around £30 less than the PS3. 2:The games are awesome for any model of the Xbox 360. Some great titles are Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Gears of war, Left 4 dead and Crackdown and many more. 1: Xbox Live. Xbox Live is one of the most fun things on my own Xbox 360 console I had a PS3 and the Online community just doesn’t compare. Just things like an Easier system, proper avatars, custom themes, free demos and the latest news, previews and reveiws A clear winner. Side: Xbox is better
1) Project Natal is totally fake, just watch the video, its obviously fake and its a total flop 2) EXTERNAL HD DVD Player for a GOOD PRICE.........why pay for HD DVD when you can get it in the PS3? 3) XBOX360 has HDMI 1.2 (only upto 1080i), whereas PS3 has hdmi 1.3 (1080p) 4) Sony releases many different PS3s (Hard Drive)...they have had 20GB, 60GB, 80GB, 40GB, 160GB and now they are selling 120GB and 250GB....and the 120GB PS3 is $299.99 and the XBOX360 Elite is 299.99 5) For the past couple of years, no XBOX EXCLUSIVE has won Game of The Year: 2010- Uncharted 2 (PS3 Exclusive) 2009- LittleBigPlanet (PS3 Exclusive) 2008- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2007- Grand Theft Auto 4 2006- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3 Exclusive) We also have Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Bioshock, Uncharted, MGS, WipeOut HD (the only game in true 1080p HD), Motorstorm, Rachet & Clank, InFamous,Warhawk, Gran Turismo 4, Heavenly Sword, etc....I can keep the list going, but i think you guys get the point AND we stole XBOXs EXCLUSIVE Saints Row....TAKE IT IN XBOX FANBOYS!!! 6) PSN is FREE...what can you do on XBL that you can't on PSN? Party Chat? ohhh...you pay $60 a year so you can talk to your friends...Everyone has a mic? thats amazing, you can hear all the 11 year olds making retarded noises over their mic 7) XBOX is a stalkers best friend.....why? because I can go view some random guys gamer card, check out all his friends, join his session in progress and best of all JOIN HIS XBL party!!! YAYYYYYYY Just take it in XBOX, Microsoft if ripping you guys off and I congratulate them for actually fooling idiots like you to think that their service is better Side: PS3 is better

Ps3 got Saints row, Xbox got Metal Gear Solid Rising. Of the two, MGS was a much bigger loss for the ps3 IMO. As far as "7) XBOX is a stalkers best friend.....why? because I can go view some random guys gamer card, check out all his friends, join his session in progress and best of all JOIN HIS XBL party!!! YAYYYYYYY" Maybe if your parents weren't siblings you would realize that you can make your party AND session a) Friends only OR b) Invite only. So saying that it's a stalkers best friend is wrong. But let's all be honest here. The greatest system of all time is the NES. Side: Xbox is better

Xbox 360 is 10x better than stupid ps3 because who cares if ps3 has free internet and all that kind of crap it doesnt have better graphics. xbox has the biggest commuity ever. Theres over 180 billion of hours that people have been playing on it holds to over 3 million text messages voice messages and stuff a day. Xbox holds the biggest game titles like halo 3 and gears of war. Side: Xbox is better
PS3 has great graphics and have blue ray and all. But Xbox has way better games then PS3. Games like Halo3, Dead or Alive, Call of Duty, Gears of war, and etc. Im not saying ps 3 games are boring, MGS4 and Little big planet looks interesting, but i believe Xbox has more variety of games. With my personal experience, my bro bought the ps3 and we only used it for blue ray dvd. and we rarely played any games on it :P. We got so bored of it that we sold it to his friend couple wks later :P Side: Xbox is better

the only reason XBOX has better network games is because most, if not all of the people on XBL have a wired connection...why? because the XBOX lacks WiFi Also, IGN, which is Xbox Fan Based, said that "the PS3 is the SEXIEST looking console ever made"...and XBOX looks like the old Dell Computer in my Basement Side: PS3 is better

The Xbox360 is for gaming. For a great console, you don't need a whole bunch of features. Ps3 fanboys use all of these "features" to use it against the 360, internet, playstation home...WHO NEEDS IT ON A GAMING CONSOLE?!?! Why not just get yourself a pc or something IDK, go play Club Penguin or something. The systems updates are totally GREAT on the PS3, yeah it only takes 2 weeks! Estimated Time Remaining: 120 minutes WTH! While on Xbox there is no "Estimated Time" it takes only 10 seconds! The exclusives on 360 are boss! Gears of War 1&2;, Fable ll, Mass Effect 1&2;, Crackdown 1&2;, Destroy All Humans! , and much much more!! Oh yeah btw, the "minis" are way more expensive than arcade games on 360. Kinect is better than Move, pretty much the Ps3 down-graded on the motion controllers, playstation eye was good, but they just had to add 1 more controller! Also one last thing: "Blu Ray", HD is fine. Its not the graphics that make the game, its the gameplay. You know what? Nuff said, 360 is better. Side: Xbox is better

OK. who uses a game console to store videos, music, and pictures, most people use a computer for that. then, a moving background? who cares. isent the point of a game console to play games on it? and then the PS having better games? thats an opinion not a fact. next, most Xbox 360s have been fixed to not have the red ring of death, and yes i did get it once but the costumer service was great and i had it back in a week. next, blu-ray, i admit its a nice touch, but its just stupid that people are saying, " oh i can watch blu-ray movies on my PS, can Xbox do that? no so it sucks." thats about the dumbest thing ever.uncharted 1 and 2 best game ever? thats another opinion.

I used to have a PS3 and then i switched to Xbox and i am extremely satisfied. If youre buying the ps3 just for graphics youre an idiot. Plus graphics on the xbox are great, and even better if you have hi def. Blu ray on the ps3 is pointless GAMING COUNSELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR GAMING NOT WATCHING MOVIES Their are more serious people on the xbox because of the reason you have to pay PS3 online is free so their are more dumb asses running around to just do it I DIDT NOT SAY XBOX DOES NOT HAVE THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE just saying ps3 has more Wifi has been added on the xbox witch will make the xbox faster than it already was in the first place GTFO if you have not tried both gaming systems, you have no right to post your opinion Side: Xbox is better

First of, the Xbox 360 only costs a few cents over 4 dollars a month (for a much better online experience) and ps3 fans say it has less games, but thats because the developers actuly take the time to make the gameing experiance better on that game instead of moving on to the same genaric shooter, marval, or platform game, over and over. And if you have a ps3 and you actually want to make use of the fact that it has more games (not including marketplace games of corse) then you have to actually buy the games, in which case a little over 4 bucks a month would seem like a no brainer, to be able to have fun with only a few games. Another big agrument is that the ps3 plays blue ray. You people out thare who think that counts as a feture are stupid. It PLAYES blue ray yes, but it only plays it as a DVD, that "feture" is just so if you have useless blue ray disks laying around, you can actually play them, but only in DVD quality. And yes the games CAN fit more data, but all of the developers working for sony, are too stupid to utilise that. Another big debate is that ps3 games have better graphics, this is only true if you you count that ps3 games are all 75% somewhat good graphic cutscreens and only 25% actually gameplay. And now for a bit of logic. Xbox(1) had free online and the same fetures (exept for a much better mic system) than the ps2. and so if sony's socond title was worse then Microsoft's first title, then how do you think the 3rd and 2nd gen. titles are gonna stack up. (and some of you out thare say play station had less time to develope, WELL HOW PRAYTELL ARE THEY ON THARE 3RD TITLE FIRST!) Thare we go. Side: Xbox is better

Yes, the graphics for the PS3 are better, yes, it has BluRay, and yes, PSN is free. That being said, though, almost everything for the Xbox is just so much better. 1. Id much rather be able to function in a game with pretty high-quality graphics than just stare at a lake in a game with graphics that are on par with looking upon the face of Jesus Christ himself. 2. The game library is so extensive for the 360. Many old Xbox games are still backwards compatible with the 360, adding even more titles to the ridiculous amount of good games in the collection. There are very few exclusives for the 360, but the ones that do make it through can compare to any two exclusives on PS3 and still come out on top. A true example of quality over quantity (at least in the case of the exclusives). 3. The gameplay of any multiplatform game tends to be better on the 360. I havent figured out what exactly it is that makes this true, but everyone Ive talked to, 360 and PS3 fanboys alike, prefer to play games, such as Bioshock, on the Xbox. 4. The fact that most tend to hit too many buttons on the PS3 controller, due to its small size, when in particularly hairy situations in games doesn't help its case. Many who say the Xbox controller is too big simply havent taken the time to get used to the ergonomic correctness of it. Maybe the fact that the buttons and triggers are perfectly spaced for normal sized hands hasnt dawned on the PS3 masses. Well, that was fun. Side: Cant beat the toughest kid on the street

No ps3 does not have more games you fucking retard. Also for playstation move you need a stupid ass wand to play as in xbox's kinect you dont need shit. An before you ps3 fanboys go saying kinect only has stupid games know that kinect is, in the near future, gonna be in half the new games (ryse, ghost recon, Madden NFL 12, etc.) Also not only is Microsoft partnering with bing to feature a new voice search, but is partnering with many big cable companies to watch tv on the system. I guess you ps3 cocksuckers will still need a cable box. Side: Xbox is better
This is honestly a hard for me. But I think I'll have to go with the Xbox 360,I feel like the 360 has a better selection of games. However,Microsoft is slowly pushing me more towards the PS3. Reason being is I hate when companies try to copy other companies and then make it dead obvious that they are doing it. For example,Microsoft's new Kinect is absolutely ridiculous. It's a dead obvious cry for help. They are getting desperate because they see how successful Wii sales are. It's as if Microsoft has no pride,the main reason why the Wii is doing so well anyway is because it's an ORIGINAL IDEA!!!! Microsoft,how about trying to come up with something original rather than copying other companies....fucking losers. Side: Xbox is better

I personally like xbox better, i had bought both consoles but now I'm regretting buying a ps3. i had bought one for one simple reason MAG, i mean 256 players at the same time WOW it sounded amazing so i went out and bought it the first day then BAM disapointment. Also i don't mind paying 50 dollars a year to be able to talk to my friends across games and to have cool stuff like reviews and other stuff from the dashboard. Yes xbox has a ton of little kids and yes they do scream a lot. but hey if u were 8 years old when this kind of technology came out wouldn't you be the same? Heres some other reasons why xbox is better. 1. There's lots of cool games on both consoles but the xbox ones are better. yes uncharted 2 and MGS4 is cool to but can they really beat halo? Halo is probably the best multiplayer game for all of the features it has built in it, theater mode, customizable game modes, and not to mention forge mode probably the best thing any game mode ever in any game. 2. Yes i have gotten a RRoD before and i was a bit frustrated but the custumer support was great and i got my xbox back in a week with a 1 month card all for free. 3. most multiplatform games are made for the xbox for reasons 1. is cheaper for game producers becouse xbox is a lot easier to work with 2. most gamers are there 4. I dont know about you guys but i hate updates on the ps3 they take like 20 min for a single update compared to the xbox wich only takes like 10 secs. 5. In ps3 i hate having to take 10 secs telling the other player something or waiting those same 10 sec waiting for a response becouse a few people actually have mics where in the xbox u can just talk to some one and most likely they will talk back. and yes there is a lot of annoying people in ther but it only takes about 5 secs to mute them. 6. and if ur talking about Xbox copying ps3 than you better also look at what ps3 is copying. first of all Netflix was xbox first but then ps3 sayed hey we need this. also for games The orange box was an xbox and PC game only but then ps3 gamers wanted it so Valve had to give it to them. 7. Again i own both consoles and i have played both consoles a lot and i Xbox does have more of a competition(thats why Mlg is preferes xbox) 8. and another ps3 Feature that xbox dosnt have is bluray but seriously why does it matter the games basically are about gameplay not about graphics and thats where most of the Extra memory of a bluray goes to making the game LOOK better not Play better.
those are my reasons. Side: Xbox is better

Well you can tell your an unintelligent douche because you said with all seriousness that halo is better than metal gear.... AND that its the best multiplayer game out... are you serious? I've never heard such a self-defeating argument for the xbox. Fact: Ps3 is more powerful and costs the fucking same (ps3s actually cost more to make than what they're being sold for, this is at sony's expense). Also, EVERYONE cares that it's more powerful, the reason xbox sucks is because it can't play most of its own games well, bad loading times, lag, overheating... need i go on? And while most games don't run how they should on the 360, the games that do push it to its utmost limits... causing a very short life span and no room for improvement. You want the next gen games? You have to run it on next gen hardware. If no one cared about better graphics or more powerful hardware we'd still be debating ps2 vs xbox, so I think that very weak point you made has officially been debunked. Fact: Ps3 has more than 3 times the number of exclusives that 360 has, and most of them are good,as opposed to 360 where only a few of them are worth even renting. Yea RROD can be fixed but it shouldn't happen in the first place. Also check the different in sales now, the ps3 is increasingly more popular, because the only people who really have a reason to hold on to it are the people who wanna hold on to halo and gears of war and aren't smart enogh to build a gaming PC. For 360 exclusives, I have a PC, for everything else i have a ps3, the 360 can keep its last gen hardware, and stop trying to run games on it that weren't built for it Fact is yea Side: PS3 is better

1. looking better is important, especially when comparing games that both play equally well. 2. orange box looks like shit on pc and 360, and has upgraded graphics across the board exclusive to the ps3. I know, i've played it on pc maxed out and then got it for the ps3 and it was far better. HL2 ep 2 and portal did look the same as on pc, but HL2 and HL2 ep 1 looked alot better on ps3 than on xbox and pc Side: PS3 is better
for all you who think the ps3 is better, OPEN YOUR EYES! the Xbox 360 is the superior console. yes the ps3 may have better graphics, IF the game is a ps3 exclusive. games like assassins creed have better graphics on the Xbox 360. don't believe me? check for your self. also the Xbox has better games. look at halo, mass effect, and gears of war. for crying out loud, check out the gears of war 3 e3 video. the graphics are amazing. then look at mass effect, its pretty much the best role playing game ever. and the 2nd one is even better than the first. as for halo, look at halo reach! look how many people switched to the Xbox after it came out. oh, and those of you who say that the Xbox fails because of all the little kids playing halo 3, thats why the mute button was created. then theres also the fable series. one of the most epic role playing games ever. now, fable is better for those who want to run around killing innocent people with swords and bow and arrows, mass effect is for those who want to kill tons of aliens and save the galaxy, same as halo except halo has a better story. now let me wrap this up. the Xbox 360 kicks the ps3s ass!

Imo My Xbox is amazing and if I got a Ps3 I'm sure I would like it too. Xbox is good for certain things and Ps3 is good for certain things. What you think is better is based on which system has the things that would be more important to you. For example.. If you love watching movies Ps3 is great for Blu-Ray. If you love talking to your friends and family while gaming with them, the 360 takes the win. These are why they're both great systems. Wii is good too =p Side: All about tastes
Listen up PS3 Noobs!!! You pay for the x-box because: First they make sure you get a quick server not like ps3 shit... I had to w8 5min to find a dam server. Also you pay and the guys make sure to banned hackers and fix up glitches in no time... X-BOX IS BETTEr Side: Xbox is better

xbox is not as good as ps3 but it has its advantages. like multiplayer online which is not free compared to ps3 but you can go on facebook and twitter on xbox 360 . but you can web browse on a playstation 3 system which means you get facebook and twitter and any site you can think of you know Side: Xbox is better

The reason Xbox is better is because it has more features and gives the player a much larger feeling of being in the game itself. Plus... HALO!!!!!!! GEARS OF WAR!!!!!! But hey, I do know that the PS3 has more games exclusive to it then Xbox, That's all it really has going for it Side: Xbox is better

Xbox is more professional online. when i play blackops on a ps3 i wasted everyone.!!! everybody sucked shit, and there was only about 3 good people i came accross after a whole day of playing. Now i have my xbox360 i found i had improved and more people do trickshots (know how to) and I can now actually play properly without having to belive im playing some incompetent fools that proberly live in that shithole (America). and you stated that ps3 is better because it has built in WIFI.... ummm my xbox has built in wifi as well. so suck on that you fat cocksuckers. i really dont mind which one i play so can you guys just give up on the whole "xbox is better, ps3 is better" thingy, its really starting to get on my nerves you motherFUCKERS!!!

All i heard from that song was red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings red rings neglect to mention all the games xbox has and only say like 10 of your titles, plus most of it was filled in by the original song's music, to make it seem longer and have more about it, so don't YOU have any shame (whoever made that song) to be completely biased. The PS3 song was legitimate and did not sware a bunch of times to sound like big boys made it. Side: that Xbox song was stupid

Well you pay for a better service you can talk to people on different games Halo is therevolutionizing fps pretty much ever and don't even try uncharted and killzone they are both rip offs of other games. Red ring of death never happened to me and it does not happen anymore however ps3s still get the yellow light that kills it. xbox get a lot of dlc months before ps3. It does not get hacked the only time it went down for a week was because so many people bought halo 3 because it is so much better than all ps3 exclusives. the controller is better. it has more PC compatability than the ps3 AND it gets funded by one of the richest companies in the world microsoft so if you go against the xbox 360 you are basically going against your own PC unless you are stupid and own a mac Side: Xbox is better

Xbox is better because even though you have to pay to play online the network isnt as easily hacked as the psn. The memory is bigger and the graphics are so much clearer even though it doesnt use blue ray. Also its better because microsoft is such a big company and innovative and doesnt copy other companies with technology(cough-playstation move is like wii) All in all xbox is better.

You posted on the wrong side. You are an incoherent fool. And opinion on games is really an irrelevant factor in whether or not a system is better than the other. Who knows?

The PS3 is stronger. The RSX Graphical Processing Unit has been clocked at 1.8TFLOPS, a very powerful figure. It features the Cell processor which has seven cores running at 3.2GHz. In comparison, the 360 has only three cores running at 3.2GHz, and its overall performance is clocked at 1TFLOP. The PS3's GPU tops an entire 360 by itself, without bringing in its processor. The PS3 is cheaper. Yes, cheaper. For $300, you could get a 360 with 60GB disk space, or you could get a 80GB PS3 for $400, paying only $100 extra for all those things the 360 lacks: More powerful hardware, Bluray player, integrated WiFi, free online gaming, rechargeable gamepads (thus saving batteries), and media center capabilities. With its powerful hardware, the PS3 is much more future-proof than the 360, which still works on DVDs. The PS3 is more reliable. The machine has an integrated AC adapter, the fans are perfectly silent, it has extremely rare hardware failure issues while the 360 fails over and over with the infamous Red Ring of Death issue, and many other heating issues. Concerning games, the PS3 has had many exclusive blockbusters. Little Big Planet, Resistance 1/2, KillZone 2, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, and many more. I do agree on the point that the 360 also has many great games, so I'll just say that it depends on which system you feel has games that you would personally enjoy playing more. The PS3 does more stuff. It also functions as a Bluray player, what with Bluray winning the HD format war, this fact has its importance rising with time, as BD slowly overpowers DVD as the leading format for movies (and games!). It works as a media center, allows you to share music and videos between your HDTV and your computer. The PS3 has not sold as much as the 360, nor does it have as big a community or as many games as the 360, but that's only because it was released a while after the 360. In the last two years, the PS3 has sold more units than the 360 did in its first two years of release. Side: PS3 is better

i sure hope you enjoy playing your games for five minutes at a time because after about five good minutes of gaming your going to get to invest in a new drive... so really why would you rather spend your money on something sucky when you could be buying a PS3 thats never going to brake and your can do whatever you want on it?? Side: PS3 is better
You know why xbox has sold more software? Its because they have to be a lazy ass bitch and not include it in the actual console. Who cares about arcade games, i dont know any one who has arcade and plays the arcade games. And thet ammount of hours played shows all xbox users have no life what so ever. Maybe there is more demos on the xbox, but we still have alot of free demos. Xbox does not lead the charge because first of all they dont have blu ray which cant make your gaming experience amazing, and dont say it dosnt matter, because once you play your favorite game on a blu ray disc, you'l agree that its amazing and looks even better.

Actually you are slightly mis informed I know because I have developed for both consoles in the past and the XBox 360's ATI Xenos GPU is actually capable of producing better graphics than the PS3's RSX does that mean the graphics are better no you be the judge on that its truly impossible to do a legit graphics comparison between both consoles because since it is easier to develope for the XBox 360 than the PS3 due to better development tools Microsoft's Visual Studio.Net IDE vs the buggy PS3 compiler/debugger games are usually made on the XBox 360 first than ported over to the PS3 developers are on a really strict deadline they aren't gonna waste time vamping up the graphics for one particular console now it is true the XBox 360 is capable of producing better graphics than the PS3 but that doesn't mean the graphics are always better because the PS3 can handle the graphics better. The PS3's CPU has 7 core processors all clocked at 3.2 GHZ while the XBox 360 only has 3 but each core processor that the XBox 360 has can handle 2 threads simultaniously which is basically like the XBox 360 having 6 core processors instead of 3 Side: Xbox is better

Excuse me? Stop lying to people, .NET is fat. It's good for short dev life cycle. I do .NET dev too. Don't give me that crap man. Don't get me wrong. I prefer to dev on .NET. But if you're asking for a performance, customers to get rip off with MS tech. For real. True optimization is with the coupling of Cell processor and the RSX. Buggy? That's because you're a newb that only rely on CLR to do GBC for you and more. Seriously? And CLR itself doesn't have bug? Dude I use VS 2008 coding in C# with NUnit and NHibernate. Seriously? They barely fix their own bug. NUnit , Ninject, and Nhibernate has less bug than the VS2008. Common now! And please do more research on cell processor. I'm a computer engineer and I feel bad or being disrespect by arguing without real understand of the trade offs architecture. And yes, Intel doesn't make the best chip just cause all PC is running on x86. They're just easier to program with because crap load of people are intel sag rider. IBM made the RISC cell processor. Go research real comp architecture and come debate about the chip. Side: PS3 is better
PS3 is quite superior for many reasons. 1. FREE online play. Unlimited. 2. Many 360 fanboys feel that PS Home is a goofy gimmick and isn't a selling point. While this may be true, they forget one key thing-it's FREE! You don't pay for the game or for the time you play online. (Unless you want to shop). 3. Much more powerful (look it up if you care to know the specs) 4. You can turn the PS3 into anything you want. It is a full on entertainment system. Free added blu ray, you can install another OS and run emulators, you can install downloaded blu ray movies or play them from USB. 5. You CAN plug in and recharge your controller into anything with USB. 6. Sixaxis capability. 7. While over 33% of 360s have been faulty or required repair, only 0.2% of PS3s have. 8. Resistance, God of War, Little Big Planet, Uncharted. 9. 120 GB or 160 GB? I'll take 160. After owning a 360 for almost two years (and having to refurbish the drive), I finally got a PS3 for a few reasons. I must say, the PS3 SLAUGHTERS the 360. The 360 is a fine system and has some great exclusive games, but so does the PS3, and with all of its added amenities and reliability, it's no contest. PS3 hands down is not only a far superior gaming system, it's in a league of it's own as an ultra-powerful full on entertainment system. Side: PS3 is better
duh i played black ops on both systems and i have to say, black ops on ps3 is much better than black ops on xbox. it may take a while to get a match but thats because of the low online people (only because the xbox was out longer). Also Zombies on that is amazing!!!! Side: PS3 is better

They broke MD-5 Encryption by hooking a bunch of PS3s up together. I'd love to see them try that with X-Boxes.

Xbox you can bitch about PS3 as much as you like but microsoft is starting to lose its power as the most dominant company in technology in the world. microsoft has just been beaten in sales by apple, and its now thought apple are worth more than microsoft. the majority of microsoft's income is computers with the xbox only being a small part. in the not too distant future google n apple will be the downfall of microsoft.

the PS3 Saves you money in the long run. Think about it, if you buy a gaming system, your not going to go out and buy a brand new one a year later. Not unless your name is Mr. Moneybags. So lets say you have a nice 1080p HDTV. You have surround sound and a huge HDTV cable package. You want to finish you home theater with a gaming system and a blue-ray player. You have invested a lot of money into this and it will not change for 2 to 3 years. If you buy a Xbox 360, which the last time i checked was $260 (I'm not counting arcade cause it's a piece of crap), you still have to buy a $200 blue-ray player. That makes $460 dollars, 60 more than the cost of a PS3. Now what if you want online multiplayer for 2 years. It'll cost you an extra $100. That makes $560. If you buy a PS3 instead, you get free online multiplayer, plus a blue-ray player. It make cost more at first, but it save you money in the long run. I haven't even mentioned the many other ways it is better. One final thought, if your into multimedia and your not a 24/7 gamer, the ps3 is the way to go. For you hardcore 24/7 gamers, buy an xbox 360 and spend your live savings on it. Side: PS3 is better
ive had xbox 360 and you need to pay alot of crap and its not worth it Like what? Games ? ring of doom Doesn't exist anymore, and even when it did it was an extremely rare occurrence that Microsoft normally handled if you sent your system in. that was so bad when i found out microsoft wants you to get a new 360 Incoherent. they are bullies I don't think I get where you are going with this, if you are going to point a finger at Microsoft you better get your hands ready; because you are going to have to do a whole lot of finger pointing at corporations that are bullies... your amazing Sony as well.

Ok, time to end this whole debate ONCE AND FOR ALL. The PS3 IS BETTER. And here is why: First let us look at Microsoft, and their track record. How were they made? Do they copy other companies? Are they really a great company? 1. Why does the richest company in the world need you to pay them to play games on their console online? Hmmm? 2. Why, when they are into computers, did they not just make software that would turn your home PC into a gaming revolution easily integratable into your HDMI set-up etc. Don't say it is so easy, because while I, and YOU might know how to do it... The millions of people who only use their PC's to troll on youtube, and whatever don't have a clue. Geek squad most likely hooked their computer up in the first place. 3. Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak. The two founders OF Windows software... Yet we all know how Bill dicked Steve over. And took Microsoft into his own hands. What did STEVE do? Built an operating system (Mac), that sells more and more each day. Is mostly virus free. Is less bulky, less hazardous. Less prone to fail. Comes packed with more out of the box DIY software like IDVD, IMOVIE, IMUSIC, etc. Microsoft is so cheap that they removed Windows Movie Maker (was shit anyway) in Vista and 7. Not ONLY that but to make Windows Movie maker on XP anywhere near as good as IDVD you had to pay 15 to 30 dollars to upgrade... 4. WTF was Zune? Inferior every way to the Ipod, and yet they made it to compete with Apple... Fail again. 5. WINDOWS 7. I'm looking at it right now, and still I'm not sure if its WINDOWS made to look like MAC OS X, or if they just copied MAC OS X ENTIRELY and put some windows logos in. Get real, MAC sells so good for all the functions that Windows 7 claims they ADDED for the PEOPLE. But they really added them as a gimmick. Something to lure in the gullible, while not mentioning failures, non-compatable software, and lets point out that Mac OS was doing most of this since the late 90's. Way to take a decade to catch up Microsoft. 6. They MAKE a NEW VERSION of Windows every few months it seems now. Which tempts people to rush sooo fast and get the newer version, which they put a hefty price tag on, and upgrading isn't much better. But oh my god we all need the new Windows right? It has ALL OUR ideas right? Is it just me or did I miss the invitation to put my ideas in. Because if so... Windows 7 wouldn't be the shithole it is. 7. WTF is Microsoft's problem? They act like a monopoly. Buying out Yahoo, trying to buy google. They are competing with a god damn search engine that is how bad they want to control EVERYTHING. They've filed a lawsuit against google. WHY? Because Microsoft owned/sponsored websites aren't always on the top of Google's search lists. Well wait, doesn't google rank stuff depending on relevance, most unique visits, etc.? That's so wrong that EVERY website gets a FAIR shot to be on top isn't it? Microsoft is calling GOOGLE the monopoly... yet Microsoft is trying to compete for the Mobile PHONE OS (fail horribly), Mobile MP3 players (FAIL HORRIBLY), Computer operating systems (FAIL HORRIBLY). Stop, you know HOW BAD Microsoft FAILS? Let's put it this way, I like Linux because I own a SERVER. I'm a web DEVELOPER and software ENGINEER. Linux, Ubuntu, THEY ARE BETTER FOR THAT. AS far as everyday operating systems... Microsoft must FAIL really hard for non-technology person(s) to be using and defending systems like linux and ubuntu. WOW. Now lets finally get to reasons the PS3 is BETTER. When it first came out people were crying about it's price tag... But lets REALLY look at the tech and then can we complain about the price?? At that time Blu-Ray Players were brand new as well and you couldn't get a good one for less than 300 dollars, even today you can't get a great Blu-ray player for cheap. So lets mark the price at 300 dollars. Ok. Built in Wifi, how much is the 360's wifi adapter? 99 dollars. Ok lets add this. 399 bucks. Isn't todays most powerful PS3 ONLY 400 bucks? Wow... lets keep going anyway. The PROCESSOR. It took a budget of 400 million dollars, and 4 years, co-development by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM to create the Cell/BE engine processor. So now, During Development Microsoft wanted their own, and they had to go to IBM to make them the Xenon. Which is no great feat at all, and cost way less than the CELL/BE. STOP > Sony put a budget of 400 million into developing something amazing for us, their customers, and for the first how many months sold us their product at a price lower than what it cost to make, resulting in them LOSING money. Just goes to show how much Sony ACTUALLY cares about their consumers as opposed to Microsoft. Yes, the Xbox 360 came out first, but Microsoft EVEN STATED they rushed to put it out first to gain the marketplace BEFORE SONY. This resulted in shambly development, which gave the RROD problems to 10,000 systems per week, and has brought Xbox failure rates up to 33 percent... That's disgusting. RESUME > Batteries/ Charging. Ok, lets look at PS3, comes out the box with rechargeable Wireless controller. 360 you buy the adapter... OR buy batteries. LEts quick assume that in a given 365 days for a hardcore 360 gamer, they go through 2 sets of batteries per week (REALLY LOW ESTIMATE, WILL STILL PAINT THE PICTURE RATHER NICE). 52 weeks x 2 is 104 x 2 batteries is 208 batteries. STOP > This adds to environmental PROBLEMS. Resume > Price at the dollar store? A dollar for 2 batteries. So 104 dollars per year lowest estimate. But we know the xbox hardcore gamers will go through more batteries than THAT. Let's now see the price of the Adapter. 10 dollars per controller for the rechargable battery pack. So add that to the same controller cost between consoles. We essentially get our PS3 controllers ten dollars cheaper off the bat. ONLINE FEATURES: Ok, Yes Xbox live was better overall until recently. Sony is giving us cross-game chat (One of the only things Xbox live has on us), Easier friend finding (One of the only things LIVE had on us), among a bunch of other new features. But wait, what will this cost? It costs the Xbox fans 40 - 50 bucks a year to get these features. For us it will cost 0.00 dollars. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Aka. Our game company doesn't milk our pockets THANK YOU. EXLUSIVES: Ok, now you are going to whine and say Halo is the best game ever made.. but really it's not. The first one was good. Second meh, and each after is milking your pockets. Because you are gullible MORONS. The newest Halo might have a few new online types but come on. Buying the whole new game, ridiculous. They should've just made it DLC and ten bucks. Then you Xbox fans would've had something to brag about. WAIT > Can't these games be played on Windows? Hmmm... Anyone know that with some tweaking you can actually run these games on YOUR PS3? Installing linux, then emulating windows, it works with minimal lag. People see the 256 mb x 2 as less than the Xbox's single 512 mb. But they don't understand the power of the synergistic properties. Have any of you ever heard of the PS3 cluster? Where atsrophysicists have clustered 8 DONATED PS3's straight from Sony to create a "supercomputer". What does your Xbox 360 have there? Nothing. COOLING: The 360 makes that annoying fan sound even more annoying by for some reason seeming to be amplified. The PS3 is virtually quiet. Which for Audiphiles can result in greater DB levels from their audio system at lesser volumes. We know this because of the difference in enclosures, outside noise, etc. So you are looking to be immersed in your game, without having to pump the volume a little louder resulting in the neighbors calling the feds? PS3 is the way to go. MOTION CONTROL PROGESSION: Natal uses a camera with less than 1:1 ratio... PS Eye has 1:1 ratio. WE win. Natal has shown demo's that Sony showed off on the frickin EYETOY on the PS2, 5 years ago. Fail for microsoft. The company that developed Natal came first to SONY, sony passed, Then Nintendo, nintendo PASSED, and Microsoft got the software no one else wanted. It's voice and facial recognition are nice gimicks, but oh WAIT Playstation EYE already has this SOFTWARE available for DOWNLOAD. Without controllers Natal is limited to more casual-esque games. As it only PRETENDS to see in a 3D environment, and it needs pretty decent lighting just to function normally. I don't know about you guys, but lets say a new Silent Hill comes out, etc. Do you want to play it in broad daylight? Shit, I like playing horror games in the dark. Fail Microsoft. Playstation Move + EYE have better specs, especially since you Xbox customers aren't good enough for Microsoft to spend a little extra money adding that processor to their camera like they promised... Glad to know your Xbox live money really gets you nothing eh? And Natal is also limited in that it doesn't sense EVERY axis. So have fun bouncing balls, and playing games that lack the depth of MOVE, and are equivalent in novelty and gimmickry to the Wii. Even Wii-Motion Plus doesn't have half the detail that MOVE does. But wait the number one argument for Xbox fans... "The Move controller looks like a dildo". Apparently all xbox fans have the maturity of 12 year olds. That makes sense anyways, but it's kind of retarded that this is the only negative they've voiced. Our Motion control world lacks lag. Natal can't even perform great in anything than pre-rendered environments and demo's that have been edited to show what they SAY it will do. Half the demo's show stuff that isn't actually implemented into Natal yet. But they HOPE to be able to. We all saw the MILO demo right? Forgetting how lame it is anyway, did any of you notice the truth about natal? It doesn't recognize individual fingers. The girl "touched" and moved her hand in the water. But she should've kept her hand closed if you think about it because she showed of Natal's biggest Flaw. When she spread her fingers it still retained the shape as if she had a closed hand. Good job Microsoft... Another attempt at rushing a product that no one else wanted, just to milk your fan base for their parents money. That's right, I'm calling ALL Xbox Fans out. I'm willing to bet that the ones who run their mouth's are the one's living with mommy and daddy. The one's who also have ADHD, because they USED to BE SONY FANBOYS, but because Microsoft rushed their product they jumped ship. Backwards Compatability. Anyone else not understand how Microsoft would not include this? RUSHED PRODUCT. And they discontinued game development for the Xbox, and rendered the Xbox Worthless. Not ONLY that but how comes a company so powerful in the software industry, can't employ FIRMWARE updates to remove "Modded" 360s' MODS. Instead they completely ban them, and what happens? People got away with selling how many of those machines to unsuspecting people. They tried to play online, and Microsoft won't EVEN listen to the complaints. Customer Service anyone? Another FAIL > With Xbox's Failure rate 33 percent and the PS3 with .02 percent which is better? Go ahead Xbox fanboys, let that sink in a bit... Did you retain all the information yet? Take this time to Re Read everything. Go ahead. Ok, now I digress. Show me something better and why I should pay more for a shittier machine known as the Xbox 360. F you. And F Microsoft.

UM DUDE!!! settle the FUCK DOWN, u make PS3 supporters sound bad. To me it just sounded like u hate M$ which is fine but if ur gonna do that at LEAST get ur facts right for gods sake. 1st off its Steve Jobs who made Mac and Bill Gates didnt fuck Jobs over, he STOLE the technology from Jobs. Thats the fact because iv learned that shit in a computer class i took. Steve and his partner made the first personal computer in their garage. Then they took it to this contest to show it off and thats where Bill Gates saw it and he later copied everything Jobs did (see a trend lol) just like how now the new 360 will have built in wi-fi, bigger HDDs, and touch buttons. M$ seriously pisses me off. But enough of that, cause thats all i remember from that movie... after all it was old and made awhile ago. Anyways yes M$ sucks and fails at pretty much anything they do but thats no need to act like a total dick to people on the net... grow a pair buddy. All ur other points are right tho, PS3 dominates. But the 360 can handle itself, just not as good as the ps3. In fact if M$ didnt fuck over their customers the 360 could be pretty successful ... but sadly no... PS3 all the way mo fuka BTW this has nothing to do with ur post but why are people caring about how many systems each company sells as arguments?? WHO CARES! Do u work for Sony or M$, no so why do u care. Who cares if for every one gamer that has a ps3 theres 3 that have a 360, doesnt matter. Id rather have a smaller better community to play with then an over populated one that i have to pay for. It just means less people are experiencing the greatness. Side: PS3 is better

Yes, I did make a mistake on Steve's last name. My bad, apparently I was in a bad mood that day lol. And yes, I do despise Microsoft. Also, stealing is a form of dicking over. And I don't personally hate the 360, or people who generally like the games. My biggest problem is the fact that millions of 360 fanboys, won't at least admit that the PS3 is technologically advanced. Not only can we upgrade/replace our HDD's with any 2.5" Sata laptop drive, but we have a hell of a lot the 360 doesn't. Most people don't understand the difference in RAM types. I would literally have no problem if everyone owning a 360 said straight out that they love the 360 because it has the games THEY prefer. But instead they act all smug, "360 has 512 mb","360 was made by Microsoft, the richest company in the world". And when it comes down to talking tech, they can't handle it. And I'm not being more of a dick than most of the people have been before my comment. So, to point mine out, seeing as I've grown frustrated with the lack of understanding of opinion vs. fact... seem's redundant. On the light side, I do agree with the sales pitch. Gotta say that I've played on Xbox live, and I truly don't get it. You'd think with how many more people owning it, there would be a bigger/better community. Yet you only have even more people being dicks, screaming into the headphones, killing team mates, sending you hate messages (voice messages are the most annoying...). Honestly, why would I pay 50 dollars a year, to play with even MORE 12 year olds who think they are top dog because they play video games lol. Best way to get them back is by telling them to get a job, and then come back to talk, then mute them. For some reason muting them makes them flip 100 times harder. Side: PS3 is better

I care because that $M mofo kindda bought off titles that should have been on PS3. I don't really care if it's exclusive or not, all I know is that development is easier on Xbox360 but will worsen the game quality, which should be up there in PS3. Don't get me wrong, I love MS .NET technology. But what they did here with Xbox is really un-exceptable. Honestly, I don't work for them either, but I lost Ace Combat 6 to Xbox, that's all I know.

You're right about people are not getting viruses because not too many people are using OSX. I own Windows 7 and code on .NET also. All I can say is. NO, WINDOWS 7 IS NOT GOOD AT ALL.

PS3... The greatest console known to man. Yet Xbox fans still feel they have a fight? I own both a PS3 and a Wii, but never will I own an Xbox 360. I prefer systems that don't come with features like "A Health Ring" that shows you that your system is going to die. Just think, the Xbox 360 is DESIGNED so you can see that Red Ring of Doom. My PS3 has never overheated or even had the chance to get anywhere near high temperatures, and I can actually play it (without ever having to purchase an Intercooler Fan) for 10+ hours at a time. I went to the local Game Crazy store and behind the counter, there were sitting five Xbox 360 consoles waiting for repairs, and the store employees said that they have not seen one PS3 be brought in. Now to clear things up about controller vibration... My PS3 controller vibrates. I don't know what the deal was about the rumors about "no vibration", but the name DUAL SHOCK states that the controller vibrates. 360 controllers don't have any sort of motion sensor. PS3 controllers, in fact, do. What about batteries? PS3 controllers take no batteries, unlike your Xbox controllers. PS3 controller dies 30 hours later? Plug it right in to your system and it charges without interrupting gameplay. Yes, you can still play while your PS3 controller charges. The Xbox 360 does have more games, but if you 360 fans believe that having more games is a good argument, the Wii has over twice as many. What does it matter to have more games if they aren't any good? Halo is the only real reason to own an Xbox, but in my opinion, Halo's story mode sucks and I am not a believer in playing games only for their multiplayer option. Have fun paying for Xbox live, my PS3 gets internet for FREE, and that even includes INTERNET BROWSING. It even comes with the internet receiver built in. The argument of Xbox having better graphic quality is a comletely foolish and absent minded argument. I'll make it easy for you. PS3 - 1080i Xbox - 720p Now that that's over with, would you Xbox fans like to argue that a squirrell is larger than an elephant? That isn't even half the things I can tell about why the PS3 is better than the Xbox, but if you're still "Pro Xbox" then I suggest you go do some real EDUCATED research and maybe come up for an intelligent argument, which I have never heard from a 360 fan. Would you rather have an Xbox 360 that's guaranteed to malfunction for $299 which results in more money out of your pocket and comes with nothing built in, or a PS3 which will last you years for $499 and has everything you need? Side: PS3 is better

Well, can't say I'm on either side since i don't have a PS3 (plan on getting one for X-mas). But, to defend the Xbox, I'll break down your arguments a bit: 1. Red Ring/Overheat: No real argument here. The Red Ring is quite an issue and Microsoft should be embarrassed with how bad it had gotten. They may have improved it a bit, but it's nowhere near as bad as it once was. As for the overheating, I have never heard much problems about that. The intercooler fan may actually make it worse from what I have heard though. So that may be the problem, not the Xbox. 2. You're argument about plugging in the controllers seems a bit flawed. In other words, buy a controller that has a cord and you don't have to even worry about losing power to it. But Xbox controllers have rechargable batteries, so I don't really see what the big difference is there. I've used mine off and on for about two years and haven't had to recharge it once. And when I need to, I just do the same thing you do with your PS3 controller. So the PS3 has no advantage there. 3.The games thing depends on the tastes of the player. You say Xbox games suck, others say PS3 games suck. Not much to argue about there in terms of preferences. As for multiplayer, it may be free on PS3, but I have seen the PS3 online in action and it's nowhere near as good as Xbox Live. I woudl rather pay $50 a year then deal with constant lag and kick-outs. And if I want internet, I'll get on my laptop. it allows me to get around the web much faster and type much faster. Good luck on the crappy key pads that come out with the game systems. 4. The graphics argument. If you must know, Xbox does have the ability to do 1080i, but the PS3 does have a slight advantage with 1080p. Sad thing is, it is a SLIGHT advantage. Not that big of a difference. Plus, most PS3 games dont' do 1080p. I think there is less then 10 games that actually allow for that resolution. But to go even farther, most games look better on the Xbox 360. Check out Lens of Truth. They compare games for both systems in not only gameplay, but graphics as well. The reason Xbox wins quite a bit of these comparisons has something to do with the PS3 just being a port of the Xbox and less time spent on the PS3 so they can get the games out on time. The PS3 has the hardware to work better, but most games don't put the time or effort to actually use it to it's full potential. There's your educated research. Oh, and hey, I don't have to wait 10-15 min. to even begin playing a video game on the 360. I know how much the PS3 loves those downloads before the game even begins... Side: All about tastes
The only reason more people play 360 is because its less expensive. If PS3 and 360 were the same price there would not be more people playing 360. Another reason is that 360 came out before ps3 so everybody got it. PS3 is alot newer so that means that the PS3 is more up to date with technology than the 360 proving that the PS3 is better. You have to use batteries just to use a 360 controller and if you look closely the 360 controller looks nothing like the old xbox controller it looks more like the playstation controller which means that they copied sony.

i, personally have played both and in my opinion the Ps3 is at least 10x better...the XBox may have "better" games but that is only due to the fact that they have been around longer as stated previously...lets see just how much longer they will last...i give them only another year or 2 ps3 is going to last until Sony makes something better and then will still be great...just look at the original PlayStation. in fact i still play it for the amazing games. and Ps3 allows you to play them again...granted the Ps3 has the YLoD just as the XBox has the RRoD but then what system can anyone say "never fails" thats just not possible everything dies eventually. not only that but those of you who said something along the lines of "Microsoft is awesome" need to learn their lesson i mean just check out this page ( http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/ Side: PS3 ALL DAY ALL DAY ALL DAY
The PlayStation3 has free online play and as the Xbox 360 you have to pay each month for online. Microsoft was good at there PC games not for there online playing. The idea of the PlayStation Network was just great (Sony keep that up). But besides Xbox 360, the origional Xbox was good (besides the online). I think that Microsoft sent the 360 out to early to get all the bugs and wut nots just to keep up with Sony. All the Xbox 360 is a hard drive that can crash easly like a computer. Sony is more well nown. Side: PS3 best for online play

Half the stuff on here is very old. It was obvious PS3 would beat the Xbox 360 eventually. It started later, was expensive and hard to write games for but I knew they would be better once all that was changed. Now here we are April 2010 and the PS3 have a 250GB slim version for about £250-£270, this is a very quiet console that generates less heat and uses less power. Now to the games with PS3 recently releasing Heavy Rain and God of War 3, not to mention Little Big Planet, Buzz, Metal Gear Solid, Resistance 1 & 2, KillZone 2 and the awesome INFAMOUS (what a game) to name but a few. The free online gaming means the PS3 is cheaper when you consider the life of a console is about 6-7 years and your gonna pay a yearly subcription for it. Most of my friends own PS3's and more and more of them are getting it. We have a great time on COD MW2 and I wouldn't dream of switching to Xbox. PS3's can handle better games and I guess in the future these games are going to appear for the PS3 and Xbox will need to miss out because it can't handle it. Already 2010 has looked like the year the PS3 overtakes the Xbox with it's range of titles coming only for PS3 you Xbox owners better sell up and come join the fun. Side: PS3 is better

Well its pretty funny on how xbox 360 fans say 360 is better.. they give no reason for their answer. For instance, Halo 3 we counter this with game of the year Uncharted 2. Or maybe when they say they have more games. We counter this because 10% of your games pass with a score of 85/100 while 13% pass with a score of 85/100 (ps3). So indeed ps3 is better, blu ray, no huge block power source. no 42% failure rate. wifi. bluetooth. free online. rechargeable controllers. search the web. longer lasting. less bugs and glitches. Therefore Ps3 is better for these reasons - IX Conspiracy Side: PS3 is better

ps3 is cheaper because the 360 elite is $500 (AU) and ps3 is also $500 but you have to buy stuff for 360 1 online for 360 is about $60 (US) a year ps3 is free, though 360 online is better. and you can go on the net on your ps3. 2 you have to buy battery's for 360 controller. 3 if you want wireless online for 360 it costs money. ps3 has way better games ps3 games:3D dot game hero's, Agent, burn zombie burn, demon souls, Eyepet, god of war 3, gran tursimo 5, heavenly sword, heavy rain, infamous, killzone 2 & 3, littlebigplanet, MAG, MGS 4, modnation racers, motorstorm series, ninja giaden sigma, Pain, pixel junk series, ratchet and clank series, resistance series, ridge racer 7, super stardust HD, SOCOM 4, uncharted series, valkiria chronicles, wipeout HD, White Knight Chronicles, warhawk and yakuza 3 360 games: Alan wake, crackdown series, dead or alive series, dead rising 1, fable 2, forza 3, gears of war 2 & 3, Halo series, Hydrophobia, Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden II, Project Gotham Racing series and ridge racer 6 so even though 360 has some great game ps3 has more and better games. ps3 has better hardware and can handle bigger games like crysis 2, the ps3 isn't as good as the pc but better than 360, there is no diference between graphics in normal games though it just depends on what the game was made for, though the ps3 could look than 360 if they was pushed to their limits. ps3 has better features, it has built in movie and blu-ray player (which also helps with games) and you install your own movies onto hard-drive as well as music and pics.

I Have Played On Both The PS3 And Xbox 360, But I Like The PS3 The Best. To Me, The ONLY Reason Somebody Can Say The 360 Is Better Than The PS3 Is Because Of The Games. Higher Quality Games Are Made For The 360. However, That Doesn't Mean That It's Better, That Just Means The Makers Of Those Games Chose To Go With Microsoft In The End. There Are Two Reasons Why I Don't Like The 360 1: Mine Froze Every Two Days, And Microsoft Was Going To Start Charging Me For Them To Fix It. But It Wasn't My Doing, I Only Played On It For About An Hour Every Other Day 2: Having To Buy Batteries. Personally, I Stopped Playing Halo Midway Through Halo 2, It Started To Suck, The First One Is A Classic, Hands Down, But After That, They Just Fucked Up. But I've Always Liked Killzone Over Halo. And MW/MW2 Is Way Better On PS3 To Me. Side: PS3 is better
After reading some of the other arguments, no one knows what the hell they are talking about!! People supporting PS3 dont know anything about 360 and vice versa. Both are great, but the PS3 is WAY better. It can update itself with the newest technology (3D), Free online play, Blu-Ray disks for bigger better games, and its the cure to cancer... lol jk but the cure to boredom. And it finally has a strong line up of games for the first half of 2010. Clearly anyone who supports 360 will say the games are garbage just because thats all they can say. I for one like Uncharted 2, ModNation Racers and many other PS exclusives. I also like not having to swap disks when playing FFXIII. And FREE online is awesome. IF we talk games then there is no point to this argument. Sure systems are defined by the games they have, but we all have different tastes. But how the systems make use of games is key. Take Uncharted 2, game of the year in 2009 and winning a ton of awards. They tapped into PS3's power and it payed off. The game is simply amazing. When more game developers learn from Naughty Dog (makers of Uncharted 2 for u360 fanboys that never heard of Uncharted) the PS3 will take the lead. PS# exclusives look better then pretty much all 360 games, because they dont have to be on the 360. The only reason people say 360 graphics look better is because the freaking game was made for the 360, then ported to the ps3... not made for the ps3 and ported to the 360 because the PS3 has more advanced technology. Other then that the 360 is just outdated with its DVD drive and will most likely re-do everything to blu-ray next time around. So all u people saying that blu-ray is overrated, just remember that when u buy the xbox 720 that plays blu-ray. IF we look at Kinect and PS Move u can clearly see that the only thing both systems are doing now is copying the Wii ... But this is comparing 360 and PS3, and i say PS3 is better.

A ps3 is 1,000,000 times better than an Xbox 360 my friends were bragging that the new 360 has a new 250 gb hard drive suck instead of buying a new system for more memory just go online for a ps3 and buy a 500 gb memory slot for $50 double the gb and only 1/4 of the price ps3 make360 look like $#!* not to mention a built in blue ray player and free internet. Side: PS3 is better
dude, the PS has to have more memory because you have to install all the games before you can play them. hmmmmm, that sounds pretty shitty. iv seen my friend playing it, and it took like 10 minutes to install medal of honor, and then another 10 minutes to update the fucking game! it has to have more memory because every game and update takes up way more memory than it needs to.now, free internet? big fucking whoop. just turn your fucking computer on. and blue ray player, are you a gamer or a movie watcher?

the real reason why ps3 is better is because bluray i noe people dont use it but it makes the discs undestructible not only that but bluray dvd players cost like 300 dollars and ps3 has it built in.also when i played the 360 and i kicked softly i heard a crushing noise and the disc was broken. ps3 has more exclusive titles like haze uncharted 1 uncharted 2 god of war collection god of war 3 and siren killzone 2 and people might say oh gears of war and halo but people are to dumb to realize that its for pc and u probaly say f the pc but it still counts so ha and we have internet connection and can play dvds Side: PS3 ALL DAY ALL DAY ALL DAY

I might not have all the evidence in the world but i own a ps3 and i have played xbox alot. IDK what others say but controller wise, they get accostumed easily. So to start off Ps3 has a better picture and sound quality. Sony the company is really good at making hardware, like the ps3 itself, while Microsoft is good at making software. The PC computers run best with a Microsoft programing. And Sony TV's don't break easily as a Samsung or any other TV. PS3 and Xbox are two halfs of a puzzle, both has advantages and disadvantages. I never heard since the PS3 came out that an Xbox game won best picture and best sound awards, because ps3 has better resolution. But in terms of Xbox, all it has is Halo, and Halo is just an M game made to make children feel better that they are playing an M rated game that a monkey could play and is dreadfully boring. Kids these days NEED to act "COOLEO" but screw them. PS3 is even more of a family type of game, besides the fact of the new invention, the XBOX KINECT, but Xbox is really the system for violence and blood and gore. And another thing, the Xbox headsets suck, and all the accesorys break. SO DOES THE XBOX ITSELF. There are more xbox that are broken then ps3's. ONLy a dumbass could break there ps3. And Built in WI-FI is another reason why ps3 rules. Xbox wi fi can sign you out, HELL OF EASILy, and its hard to sign back on. On ps3 it does sign you out alot, but it just takes a click of a button to sign back on and its less stressful. And the only reason ps3 is more expensive is because its 100$ more advanced than xbox360. And just think about it. Xbox 360 came out wen PS2 did, they can't dramatically make there system better, it takes time and they don't have it. So it slowly but not surely gets better as time PRogreses. SO PS3 KICKS @$$ and Xbox sucks. -Omid Iron Mehrage Side: PS3 is better

I have to say that i am getting sick of all the scratched discs that my xbox is spitting out.When i press the eject button the disk tray opens up and half the time the danm disc is still spinning in place throwing scratches onto my brand new disc! I have gone through 6 360's in 4 years and the immature bull crap talk on xbox live is getting old. With all the money I put out to Microsoft i am seriously considering buying a PS3. By the way i bought a Wii for Xmas and haven't played with it since. Heres a question for all of you that support PS3 (your answers may sway me towards Sony)-How would you rate the communities matureity level for either xbox live or PS3? Side: Might hop the fench

Another person won over via PlayStation. No but online communities range from all ages i guess depending on what game your playing. So ya, the only downfall i could think about would be that PSN accounts are free to create so im sure most players have more than one account. This may make it harder to pick a name you like because so many have been taken already. Side: PS3 is better

Who actually uses these consoles to watch movies or surf the web? The main focus of these consoles are for playing games online. Online Multiplayer is more challenging on the Xbox Live than on the Playstation Network. Both my accounts from Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are the same level and prestige. It took me less time to raise my level on the Playstation 3 while taking me two times as long on the Xbox 360. This argument also goes for both TF2 and many others games as well. Basically, if you don't want to get owned, get a Playstation 3. Personally I like Xbox 360 because I like the challenge. For those who said the Playstation 3 has better graphic quality than the Xbox 360; that is where you're extremely incorrect. Many tests were conducted by many people including myself, and the results came out with the Xbox 360 having better graphic quality than the Playstation 3. There is proof all over the internet. The Xbox 360 had an average FPS of 57.73 on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. On the other hand, Playstation 3 had an average of 51.65 FPS. The Xbox 360 has more defined color, contrast, etc. which the Playstation 3 lacked. Overall, If you're a gamer, the Xbox 360 is the way to go. Side: Xbox is better

Who uses the console to watch movies or surf the web? Why don't you then say "Who actually uses computer's to play video games?". See the irony? Multiplayer isn't more challenging on either. 360 has a bigger community, as well as a lot more people devoted to not having a life. Plus, yeah I can see how there is a challenge. You have to deal with modders (we don't, PS3 is unhackable). Graphic quality: You apparently didn't read the comment one or two above your own. Most games up until lately, have been developed ON the 360 and THEN ported to the PS3. Seeing as how the cell processor is set up way differently than standard multi-core's, can you not understand WHY the graphic content has been better? Also, how's this for a turn around. You know Crysis 2? A game made by Crytek, using CryEngine 3. One of the leads even stated that so far, the game engine has performed and looked better on the PS3, not the 360. That's because Crytek came into the console devving game late. Meaning they took their time with both consoles, and got to know how each are set up. The PS3 equipped with a cell will outperform any 360 in processing and rendering. The Cell is made of a PPE and 8 SPE's. One of the SPE's is there in case any of the others should fail. The other seven are managed by the PPE. It gives each of them tasks, and tracks the work they've done, are doing, and need to do. In this way, it processes the data simultaneously, performing essentially 3 times more efficient than the Xenon in the 360. A game developed perfectly on the cell, and on the xenon, will perform and look better on the PS3. Anyday. No matter what. It's a fact. If you care to dispute this, take your "evidence" which you didn't account the port factor into, to IBM and SONY, and see what they have to say. Beside's X86 is going to be a thing of the past. Just as well, you do realise Blu-ray is the future. Dual layer HD DVD's can only hold a maximum of 30 gigs, where as Blu-ray can hold 50 gigs. Meaning no need for multiple disc's for us to play huge games. Just as well, Blu-ray is owned by Sony. So, even when the NEXT consoles come out, Microsoft won't have Blu-ray. So enjoy buying a 200 dollar blu-ray player eventually, while we keep watching true high definition on our freakin game console. The PS3 can outperform the 360 in frames as well. Once again, take into account that A. InfinityWard/Activision have a DEAL WITH MICROSOFT. This is why DLC is available earlier on Microsoft. B. The GAME IS MADE ON PC/360 THEN PORTED TO PS3. Meaning, a game they devoted to development on a certain platform, is then shambly ported over to our platform, which utilizes a still practically brand new architecture. So, when you are proficient in at least objective C scripting, maybe you won't be testing without software. Maybe you will also first do some research, before coming here and making fanboy claims. If you are a gamer, whichever console has the games you prefer is the way to go. Technologically speaking, your system, as well as any Windows computer, will never be able to outperform cell/BE equipped supercomputers or servers. Just like your system can't outperform our's. IBM's top line of super computers and servers are now cell/be. So please, go tell them that they are wrong to do this. Apparently you have more education than them. Side: PS3 is better

i use my PS3 browser whenever i dont want to turn my computer on, which is often, and also whenever i want to watch a streaming movie from the web why not see it on an HDTV with my PS3's browser? Yes Xbox Live is more challenging, but i dont want to get my ass raped every game of MW2, that makes me pissed. However, when i dominate on my Ps3 im happy...If you like games, but also like other things like a life and a girlfriend then get the ps3 (yes i have a ps3, and yes i have a gf..and yes she is hot so there).

PS3 is FAR BETTER than the Xbox 360. Here are the reasons why, and im entitled to MY OWN OPINION: -Started out with the 250 gb (Xbox copied and did the same) -Xbox has better games? BS! e.g, Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet, MAG, Medal of Honor, Infamous, Resistance, Killzone..and the list goes on! -The yellow light is VERY RARE, unlike the 360's legendary "red ring of death." -Free online multiplayer. -Built in Wifi -Bluray (movies, better graphics in games. Xbox 360 fans only say they are "fine" with HD, because Xbox does not have the capacity of having better graphics such as Blu-ray does.
ONE THING "ALSO" KEEPING ME FROM SWITCHING OVER TO XBOX LIVE: The fact that you have to pay for Xbox Live just kills me. Think about it, this is what i would have to spend on for enjoying an xbox 360: paying for the console, paying for the wifi thingamijig that cost about 90$, pay for xbox live, get new games. Id rather stick to my trusty PS3, knowing i get the same and better thrill, of an online experience. Side: PS3 is better

Even though I like both game consoles, I enjoy the PS3 the most because you can do more things on it, such as browsing on the Internet. Also, I find it pretty neat how you are able to download your music onto your playstation, not only that, but how you are able to replace or add to the music playlists already on the games. Also, the PS3 has built in blu-ray which the xbox does not, which also makes the dvd experience on the PS3 better. Plus you have better quality since it's blu-ray. Side: PS3 is better

muahaha mw2, mgs and ncharted pwns halo and gears of war Too bad mw2 isn't an exclusive game re-re. Gears of war is just a bloody gory game, not one of my favorites. But I will be dammed if I let you talk about Halo in any way other than an affirmative! The Halo series has been one of the best series of games ever introduced to the gaming sphere. The game has always had amazing graphics for the years in which they were introduced, as well as being awesomely interactive, and holding onto a very steady and intriguing story line. Don't you dare talk about my Halo. Side: Xbox is better
I've been an xbox 360 owner for 4 years, and a ps3 owner for about 1 year. Honestly ps3 is soooooo much better. I only wish I wouldve bought it instead. Why it's better: games, so the library isn't as big as 360, big deal. I see more awesome titles for ps3 than 360. (ps3: killzone, uncharted, god of war, infamous, heavy rain, resistance, modnation)(360: gaylo, gears of war, mass effect, Alan wake). Online play is free. It's way better than silver membership for 360. Plus the plastation home feature is awesome. And I don't care much for the whole Microsoft points thing, I'd rather know exactly how much I'm paying for something. The biggest thing for me is the reliability. My ps3 is the slim model and I've had no issues to speak of yet. (I know it's early but let me finish.) My xbox 360 was the pro package, it lasted about 6 or 7 months before the famous red ring of death. It took Microsoft about 3 months to send it back to me, only to get a back a year later due to graphic issues. A month later they send me a refurbished model. 2 years later red ring. The last 360 I had went pretty strong up until about 3 months ago when it started making this god awful indescribable noise. So I sold it and pre ordered the 360 slim model. I've had the new model a little over a month now and I recently had a graphic issue again. (so much for fixing everything microsoft) I won't put full blame on the system yet because this didn't happen until I bought hdmi cables for it. However, the 360 has been more troble than what it's worth. After owning modern warfare 2 on both systems I can say I like it better on 360 because of the controller. And due to the xboxs fanbase there's more people (but that also means there's way more douchebags). And to top everything, the ps3 offers so much more. Internet browsing, blu Ray player, and on earlier models, backwards compatibility. Xbox "says" it's backwards compatible, but I've been able to play like two of my xbox orginals. As far as DVD players go, the playstations I find is so much better. The 360 seems to have more trouble reading the slightly scratched discs, while ps3 plays damn near all of them flawlessly. If I had one complaint for the ps3, it's the download times, they are horribly slow. Another thing, the new motion controllers that Microsoft and Sony are unleashing (while I don't really care for either one, because that market rightfully belongs to nintendo) the move is so much more appealing than the kinect. Move will be compatible with great ps3 coming titles such as killzone 3, socom 4, and gt5. While having a great looking library of it's own. (sorcery and the game with ratchet, clank, sly, and other playstation heroes looks awesome, sorry can't remeber the title). While kinect, with the price tag of 150 dollars, doesn't look all that amazing anymore. It's a great idea, and I love the concept behind it. However, a mediocre library of games and from what I understand no 360 title compatibility, what a waste. Honestly the kinect will be for hardcore 360 fanboys and people who look and the 360 controller and start scrathin their heads. Sony has been impressing me more and more, while Microsoft seems to be pushing me away. Sony has cleaned up a lot, and appeals to ALL gamers while still staying true to the more hardcore gamers. Microsoft seems to be all about the kinect and the market that the Wii has already dominated. So in conclusion, the ps3 is dominating the 360 all around. I only wish more people could see it that way instead of assuming the bigger library of games means the better system Side: PS3 is better
This is still an argument?...Ha. I had a 360 first, i was ecstatic and at the time to my knowledge i was as hardcore of a 360 fan as you can be, id bash PS3 on the daily. then i got the RRoD and luckily M$ fixed my console for free...then i got rid of it ASAP. I traded that 360 for a PS3 and ive been happy ever since. PS3 is... -a web browser -not a jet engine, screaming in my ear. -not a cheap looking toy -built in wifi -free online play? and the quality is fine honestly, it runs smoothly and i shouldnt have to pay extra for that. -replaceable HDD with any 2.5 in? saves tons of money -better media center -bluray disc= more space= more content and space per game = better games. -stronger hardware -better interface (dont lie 360fanboys you know that dash of yours is ugly as hell) Also ever since 2009-10 the ps3 has risen up and above the 360 and is truly in its prime, we are now just starting to see games pushing the PS3's true power and pretty much all games from now on will follow suit, and im pretty excited for that. we can expect to see way better and way more exclusives than the ps3 has ever had (right now were at Gran turismo 5, GOW 3, Uncharted 2, LBP and LBP 2 on its way, the last guardian from team ICO and other amazing titles, what does the 360 have now? Halo,and Gears (both of which have been milked profusely from 360fanboys with dwindling hope for their SH*TBOX 360) and shiy movie based games from shiy a$$ developers.) Now im a fair person though and ill admit to a few flaws of the ps3 -install times and the actual installation itself before new games. -actually that's all i can think of right now, only thing about the ps3 that has ever upset me. Side: PS3 is better
Well guys, Ive been through 2 xbox's in the last 2 yrs and I'm actually very dissapointed in the xbox 360, I think that i should have got a ps3 forreal, its the all around better system period. The xbox uses HD DVD, they dont even make those anymore, and the company is so ignorant to the needs of the gamers, they make a new xbox that doesnt even support blu ray!! and all they do is give it a built in wireless adapter, which is bullshit because the ps3 already had that shit built in. you end up spending so much more money on an xbox. because all of their backwards and obsolete technology. i spent $110 on something that was already built in on a system, that cost $50 bucks more at the time. Side: PS3 is better
Ps3's graphics are much better though the game titles are limited and you are not able to play some popular games such as the Halo series that is only avaliable on Xbox. Being someone that owns both consoles, I would still support the PS3 because of the free mutiplayer function whereas in Xbox360 you would have to pay for "gold" membership. Side: PS3 is better

Well I am a college student (for video game design hehe) and i have work to do so instead of continuing to single out and counter specific arguments, I'll do it all here. HARDWARE: Ps3 is more powerful, better graphics, more disk space (blu ray), better cooling, etc. It's been proven. 360 is old tech trying to run modern games, the pathetic gpu and sub-standard cooling equal to that of dell or HP, can't keep the damn thing cool if you play your game for more than 3 hours at a time. My vote: PS3 SOFTWARE: Well there's much debate over this, theme talk and music playing during your game and yadda yadda yadda. None of this stuff really matters to anyone. The big thing software wise is games. xbox has the halo and gears of war series as well as games like mass effect and left 4 dead. Ps3 has uncharted, mgs4, demon souls, little big planet. In my opinion all these ps3 titles are better than all those 360 titles previously mentioned. The ps3 actually has 3 times the number of exclusives than the 360 and if you count pc games then 360 has no exclusives at all. PRICE:They cost roughly the same, and while microsoft makes and overwhelming profit from the high price of the 360, it actually costs sony more to make the ps3 than they sell it for, meaning sony lowered the price for whining customers and must now find other ways to make up for the lost profit. BLU-RAY VS DVD: lets get one thing straight, xbox does not run on HD DVD it runs on ordinary 8G dual-layered DVDs. Many xbox fans argue that blu ray is too big and not necessary. Well this is not true because one of the first games out on ps3, mgs4 had to be compressed to barey fit on the 50G limit, while 360 games are reaching 3 and 4 disks.... we haven't seen that since the days of the Ps1. Blu ray allows for better audio and visuals, and for bigger, more feature rich games, while developing for 360 requires shorcuts and compression techniques to squeeze every byte out of the DVD. Point is, its better to have extra than not enough, it gives room to grow, the whole thing about the ps3 is that is plays todays games exceptionally and has room to grow, where as 360 hardly has room to fit what it already has, its old tech trying to keep up with modern tech, its like trying to squeeze ps2 performance out of a ps1... and as for you 360 fans who pull out this last resort argument: "all that extra crap doesn't matter all that matters is gameplay". Well if that were the case we would still be arguing ps2 vs xbox. gameplay is the most important part yes but we must not forget visual quality as well as this does add alot to the experience, more than some people seem to think Side: PS3 is better
dude, i will admit the playstation 3 is superior in every way. but your wrong about a few things. the Xbox does still have several exclusives that are not on PC. halo 3, halo 3 odst, halo wars, halo reach, and fable 2. there are allot of others but im not going to list them right now. secondly, your statement about the 360 overheating after a few hours is not completely true. i can play mine all day and it will still be cool. but like a said, i admit the playstation 3 is superior in every way, and believe me, if they had halo, fable, gears of war, and a few others i would get one. Side: It depends on what you like

this is more of a preference but really, why do people prefer the 360 controller? The analog sticks are crooked, and the controller is fat and very uncomfortable. Arguments i've heard: "my thumbs touch on ps3s controller" my response: .... use the tip of your thumbs like a normal person and not the bottom? "the 360 analog sticks are stiffer" my resonse: use a ps2 controller on your ps3, its cheeper anyway. "The ps3 triggers are slippery" my response: wash your hands... i've NEVER had that problem, although when the controller is on my bed while i'm watching a movie, i sometimes move and the triggers push in and fast forward the movie. Still though, just use a ps2 controller in that case if it bothers so much, they aren't really triggers anyway, they're shoulder buttons. Side: PS3 is better

I own a xbox now and i hate it. I also own a PS3 which i had first. When playing modernwarfare 2 on xbox i notice a big difference. I have a 42in 1080p phillips LCD and playing MW2 looks like shit when i play it on xbox. Its way too choppy and it looks definitely like 720p. The glow factor when looking at the characters and background are way more intense and just plain better on PS3. I thought for the longest that my tv was just cheap and that I needed to get better hdmi cables to improve the video on my xbox but i figured out that it wasnt my tv or cables. I have a full HD 1080p HDTV and my xbox only supports 720p. Which means when xbox shows that it's in 1080p it's really upscaling to 1080p. Upscaling means 1080i not FULL HD. Thats why xbox looks pretty lame when i compare graphics. My TV wants to broadcast in 1080p. So in summary if you have a Full HD television 1080p then don't get an xbox. A PS3 is the only thing your gonna get full 1080p graphics since blu-ray is the only way to get True HD. So all of you Halo Reach freaks that think your playing in 1080p relax its just a really good 720p. Thats why God of War 3's graphics are incredible. Oh and no game on xbox can come close to Uncharted. Reasons why i hate Xbox 360 They claim to have better/more games but if you exclude all the gay kids games your left with Halo Reach. LOL look at how many people are talking about Halo, There are NONE When i bought my xbox i was disappointed in the accessories. First off why wouldnt this system come with a fucking charge cable for your controller. That probably help out alot. Oh yeah and a damn battery pack for your controller. I didn't intend on going on a shopping spree after i already bought the damn system. No Wi-Fi, no bueno. why the hell would you make your stupid cheap plastic crap Wireless Router $100. Right then and there I was pissed off about even thinking about getting an xbox. I know who needs wifi when your xbox is right next to your modem. but my xbox is not so wifi is needed. Total Price Spent on Xbox so far 250 for xbox 100 for wireless adapter 29 for charge cable and battery pack 15 for Audio adapter HAHAHAHA if I knew I was going to spend that much I would have never done it. Reasons why Ps3 is better. The controller is bluetooth which has a way better signal compare to RF from xbox. The controller actually has a built in battery and charges via USB. The controller actually outlives xbox's by a long shot. The cable to charge the controller comes with the system even though its USB. Stupid Xbox. Graphics a way better. If you dont have a Full HD 1080p TV then you wont be able to see the difference so when us "PS3 guys" say our graphics are better its because its the truth. Just becuase your tv says that your xbox is broadcasting in 1080p remember its not the same as FULL 1080p HD/Blu ray. Ps3 controller is way easier to get a hang of and way better fit for the hand. xbox controller is too bulky and cheap. Plus it looks like a 3 year old made it. Ps3's are not know to fail as much as xbox. Im affraid to even play my xbox for longer than 2 hours because off RROD. A lastly you dont need to purchase a shit load of accessories to complete your PS3. All you need is a 20 dollar bluetooth and your good to go. The ps3 even comes with an HDMI cable. Gran Turismo is going to be the best driving game thats why its taking so long to come out so Forza will be forgotten. Side: PS3 is better

i currently own a ps3 and when i went into the store i thought about all the good things and bad things about both consoles and i thought PS3 has much more features. So to prove it i will make a list of the good things Ps3 and Xbox both have to be fair: PS3 Xbox360 -Free internet -$50 a month internet but good quality internet -Rechargable Controllers - Use AA batteries - Blu-Ray Player - Uses HDMI - Built in WiFi - Does not have this feature - PlayStation Home - Some little crappy avatar system - Came out later, - Came out earlier which means no where near as much features as PS3 took more care building it AND LASTLY - No stupid RRoD - Has ''Red Ring of Death'' So as you see. I picked Ps3 so I get my money's worth :) Side: PS3 is better

ps3 is far better than xbox360 because xbox360 is the same as the oringinal xbox no new features except the graphics are better the xbox360 still uses the old dvd format that the oringinal xbox and ps2 used while the TOP DOG (PS3) uses blu ray and blu ray 3d and bluray disk can hold up to 55 gigabytes on 1 disk while the dvd only holds 9 gigabytes and thats why some xbox360 games were cut short like gta iv and batman arkham asylum for instance plus the ps3 is now 3d capable and 360 is not and ps3 has a freaking web browser that is very fast depending on ur connection speed and the ps3 was the first (tv) console with built in wifi and a matter in fact ps3 is a smart computer intergrated with a gaming system with blu ray 3d and bluetooth and you can hook up a printer to your ps3 wirelessly and this isnt half the stuff the ps3 can do cuz ps3 can do waaay more than 360 NOW ASK YOURSELF WHICH CONSOLE BETTER Side: PS3 is better

Engineering point of view, PS3 is better. I don't want to goes into detail of computer architecture on chips, without physics processor and dedicated sound processor, in this case, the Cell processor with Nvidia GPU wins. Here's proof on one side of usage: http://www.ll.mit.edu/HPEC/agendas/ and here is explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ System feature customer point of view, PS3 is better. Rechargeable controller, on-board wifi, internal PSU, HDMI 1080P output, Bluray, free online, way less chance of breaking, etc .. I can go on all day. Exclusive Title: I was mad when Namco Bandai sold themselves out on ace combat 6. To me, this topic is subjective. Honestly, I think PS3 titles are more creative. I've been playing way too much FPS. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, BORING! I also think Halo is a 7 yearold kid game, over Little Big Planet, seriously, no joke. Ergonomics: This is subjective, but I think Xbox controller is too big. I'm only 5'7 I guess I don't have big grip. User interface: PS3, done. CD tray? Common! I like the system bar on PS3 more, but that's subjective. Game design engineering point of view, the work done on PS3 is much harder to product, but then again, it's like building an LFA vs a Civic SI. Extra punch requires dedication. I hate hungry Corps that only care about making $$$ as fast as they can and tamper the gaming culture. You can't compare games that were ported over. You have to compare games that made dedicated to both system, and I still say PS3 wins. Last but not least, sure Xbox is fun if they don't RROD on you. But if you plan to just game for the rest of your life, I'm not in that box, even if I was a hardcore gamer on PC. Notice it says "PlayStation", it plays anything, movie, games, pictures, music, at a better job. Face it, You dump enough money on games, money to buy a PC and a console are not much different after so many games, therefore, PC would do a better job if you're not planing to having a Bluray on your system. Not to mention that x86 and all the program on tops are made so abstract so inefficient that you probably get no more than 70% out of it after optimization anyway. so PS3 wins. Side: PS3 is better

I own all three consoles, most recent to my collection being the PS3, I love them all, however between PS3 and xbox. It used to be xbox, but now im having to repair it for the THIRD time, ive lost faith in it. Im playing my PS3 all the time now, ive cancelled my xbox live subscription as PS3 is free online, and uncharted 2 is one of the best looking games ive ever seen!The only reason im repairing my xbox this time is because of Halo Reach. WHEN it breaks again, I will not be getting another one. Side: PS3 is better

Why PS3 is better its because of its exclusive games, however xbox360 exclusive games are way too less. I'm not a fan of both console but by the time I'm going to buy an console I have a headache about which to choose. For xbox 360 the graphic was awesome and way better than PS3 because the picture was quite dark and realistic. However, PS3 is quite light. PS3 is better because of its exclusive games such as god of war 3, uncharted, Little big plannet, etc which is very fun but xbox360 only have gears of war n halo which is awesomeness. I can't make you to buy a PS3 but when you're going to buy One console you should watch their comparison about graphic, exclusive games, controller n more of their spec. Side: It depends on what you like
Ps3 is better graphics wise, but i think xbox 360 has a better multi player but i dont like the idea of a 60$ a year for live when u can get it for free on the ps3. Also ps3 has blueray which is going to be the thing for like the next decade whne DVD is outdated Side: PS3 is better

PS3 - I own one, i like the XMB and the game on it are pretty good, it looks better, the controller is nicer in many ways, less bulky, and you dont have to pay for any internet subscriptions to play games (as far as I know - I dont play to much multiplayer). Side: PS3 is better

True, one of the biggest problems with the 360- the red ring of death. Once your xbox is RODDED, its a piece of junk. (You have to have Microsoft send you a new one, which kind of shows that they admit to the problem). There are not many frequent incidents of this on the PS3, whereas the XBOX has a 53% faiulre rat in regard to the problem. Side: PS3 is better

Ive had three X-Box 360 Consoles. I first bought one of these machines as I could not be bothered to wait for the PS3. I switched it on and was impressed. It was a step up from the play station 2 which I had previously been playing. Then it broke... about 5 months later, sent it for repair and they just sent me a brand new one which eventually broke another 6 months later. I was getting fed up but I was a big halo fan so I bought a 3rd console. It obviously broke about 8 months later, so I stuffed it off. Bought myself a play station and noticed that the controls are much easier to use. The analogue sticks on the 360 seem sticky which is a big factor when I'm playing on-line. with MAG out now, it seems like the PS3 is an obvious choice. Side: PS3 is better
As the manager of Gamespot AU, i know a few things about the PS3, infact i've helped develop the processor for it myself. The Xbox 360 is good for those who like things breaking every week and heating up and lets not forget about the RROD. On the other hand the mighty PS3 has Blu-ray, amazing graphics and games to blow you away such as Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, God Of War III, M.A.G ,Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4 and many more. Nuff said.IS DON IS GOOD Side: PS3 is better

Well your post is kind of old but everything i'm about to say applied then just as it does now. The ps3 has more games (about 3 times more actually), and our games are of a much bigger variety while yours are mostly mediocre fps games, nothing wrong with em but that's all you got. The failure rate of xbox360s to this day is still several times higher than the failure rate for ps3s and still don't have all the features the ps3 has. better games..... really? our games are all rated with perfect scores, your games are all mediocre and don't appeal to real gamers. Most gamers wouldn't touch halo with a ten foot pole. and it may have better repair service but hey it certainly does need it or they wouldn't sell... at all.... ever Side: PS3 is better

The people who support Xbox360 are truely mistaken. (means YOUR WASTING YOUR MONEY) The statistics show it Ps3 is more popular according to this website www.CreateDebate.com/debate/show/ And the results are... Ps3 Xbox360 74% 26% So the statistics show that PlayStation3 whips Xbox's ass. in conclusion Xbox sucks. Enough said Side: PS3 is better

first let me start by saying ps3 is way better than x box 360. X box first systems got the red ring of death. Never did ps3 had chaos like that. People keep saying they don't play they games all like that so that argument don't count, but it does what if i like 2 play my games for many hours then all of a sudden my x box messed up for ever till i get new one. Thats boo boo. Another thing is x box sold more but that's only because it came out first. Another thing is x box needs a cord to get online and to get a head set you got 2 get the newer version. The x box doesn't have a hard drive you gotta buy it. Want netflix gotta buy the GOLD membership. X box doesn't have internet browser. And people keep saying but that don't matter cause its a game system but what if i want get online and my system isn't near my computer and i want to get online. Lets cut this short X Box PS3 .halo reach .Free online play .Blue Ray .Blue tooth .More exclusive games .thinner system .comes with a charger(for controller) .wireless controller no batteries . No huge battery packs Side: PS3 is better

The xbox outsells the ps3 in the "i'm honkey and I love to play my call of duty and halo" market. Not saying those games aren't fun but... when it comes to real gamers and real games, ps3 appeals more. there just so happen to be alot of people that buy a xbox just for halo and cod, real gamers buy ps3 and ps3 does have more exclusives Side: PS3 is better

Many people think ohhh Ps3 sucks no Halo Reach -.- I mean halo is a good game BUT Playstation has a game very similar to it called Warhawk. It is much better because: Better Graphics Also aircraft tanks and futuristic jets Just 20$ More weapon possibilities for aircraft (Halo Banshees suck!) You can also create your armor but also your aircraft The only thing that Halo has is a map builder And about the xbox: I wouldn't even buy it because it was produced by microsoft Side: PS3 is better

bro on a game like killzone 3 it has way better graphics than xbox 360 could ever match with anygame. I can also use a real bluetooth mic instead of those peice of junk xbox ones. and I can download any song or movie on the ps3's web browser. I have ps3 and xbox and I like my playstation much more. xbox is just cheap junk it doesn't play blue-ray, no bluetooth, no web browsing, and the remotes arent rechargable!even the netflix app runs way smoother on ps3. and I dont get why people are saying that xbox live is better than psn!! it's the same thing but psn is FREE! Side: PS3 is better
when it comes down to it does it matter? Whats your personal preference go play the system you want to play. Really people need to grow up and get a life...Jesus christ if you really waste time coming to a forum and arguing over a fucking video game jesus christ... Side: Grow the fuck up

dude you shut up and get a life.... the whole purpose of this website is to debate and that's what we're doing it makes no difference what its about. and one thing i've learned... the people who stand around watching others and tell them that they have no lives, are far more void of a complete existence than the ones they're scrutinizing. And the point is simply sales. We vote by buying things and the things we buy stay and the things we don't buy go away. Many people want to see the ps3 stay because its a superior console. Its good because it boosts sales of ps3 and raises its popularity which ensures more consoles in the future and lower prices, and it forces microsoft to try to compete (something they've never done well) which will make their product better and lower prices even further. Everyone wins Side: PS3 is better

look, I have a playstation 2 and its been working perfect since like, 8 or 9 years and my friends a 360 user and his is over heating if the fan isn't on and it ruins the game it freakin plays.Oh and by the way, hes had it for a YEAR. And also, my friend who is a PS3 user has had his for a year and its working great. So im pretty sure thats good evidence that the playstation systems are MUCH better than the 360.

Firstly the games Ps3 has many exclusive games but they are not just ordinary games, they are games that changed gaming, for example god of war is very iconic and was one of the first gory games that other games base off for example bioshock formerly xbox exclusive. Gran turismo which is THE original driving simulator. And the history of playstation the playstation one which gave us crash bandicoot an amazing platform game. Ps3 has the better hardware that you cannot argue, it has the higher potential to run high spec games but they cannot currently make games to this specification. Sony clearly know their stuff they have been bringing us amazing games for ages so trust them to make the better console, microsoft are a computer company although i would have a gaming pc over a mac the ps3 is the best games console. Also no red ring of death and if you look after your ps3 well you will encounter no problems. Side: PS3 is better
five reasons #1 - The PS3 Has Hi-Def/Blu-ray Let’s get the most obvious feature out there first. Both the Xbox 360 and Wii operate off of older disc technologies, and the PS3 is the only gaming console that offers a Blu-ray high definition disc drive. This plays out to be two distinct advantages for the PS3 -- Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray games. DVDs are on their way out, and Blu-ray is the new standard for video. Blu-ray discs also hold more data, so the PS3 has to use fewer discs for games. Finally, every PS3 supports 1080p video, upconverts regular DVDs to look better on your HDTV, and has an HDMI output (necessary for the highest quality HD signals). #2 - The PS3 Is Ready Out of the Box, Cheaper to Own While it is true that the sticker price of the PS3 is higher than the Wii or Xbox 360, it is a feature complete system. Take for example the controllers. All three systems come with wireless controllers, but the PS3’s DualShock 3 is the only one that’s rechargeable out of the box. Want to get online using your WiFi network? On the Xbox 360, that will require a $100 dollar wireless upgrade kit while on the PS3 and the Wii wireless networking is built in, though the Wii requires you to buy their web browser. Want to play games online? That will require you to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership. The cost to play on the PlayStation network? Nada. Want to download new games and video for your console? While it is no problem for the PS3, but you may have to purchase additional storage for some Xbox 360s and Wiis if you plan to download much of anything. #3 - The PS3 Has Great Games To Satisfy the Mainstream and the More Discerning Gamer All three systems have a wide variety of wonderful games, and most major American and European games appear on all three systems. But the PlayStation 3 has the support of Japanese developers and online boutique developers that the other two simply don’t have. Sure the Xbox 360 has Halo and the Wii has Mario, but the PS3 has equally good exclusives in Metal Gear Solid 4, God Of War III, LittleBigPlanet, and the greatest driving game ever, Gran Turismo 5. In addition, consider the unique Japanese and indy titles that only the PS3 gets. From Pixel Junk Monsters, Flow, EveryDay Shooter, The Last Guy, and LocoRoco Cocoreccho!, to software that’s more like interactive art than games, such as Tori-Emaki, Flower, and Linger in Shadows, there are simply odd and wonderful things that exist on the PS3 that don’t on the other systems. #4 - The PS3 Has Lots of Multimedia and Non-gaming Features The PS3 can show pictures, play videos, and play music you download from the net, or from a USB device such as a thumb drive or external hard drive as well as streaming from a computer. So does the Xbox 360, but only the PS3 will allow you to stream it to your PlayStation Portable, remotely. This means you can access your media, including Blu-ray discs, on the road using your PSP. The PS3 also supports Linux as an additional operating system, allowing it to be used for a variety of non-gaming purposes. #5 - Online Gaming Is Free and Easy All three systems now offer web surfing and the purchasing of games online. Unlike the other two systems, however, online gaming on the PS3 is both easy and free, with no extra fees or complicated friend codes required. The PS3 also offers a unique and free virtual world called Home, where you can chat, hang out and play games with other PS3 owners. Much like the Xbox Live Achievement system, the PS3 has a Trophies system that allows you to earn awards as you play games and compare how you’ve done against other players. This is all copied!

PS3 is better. I use both consoles, but the PS3 is definently leaning towards my favorite. Xbox has minecraft and halo. Those are pretty much the only reasons I play on It. The PS3 doesn't completely jack up your disc if you bump it accidentally. The red ring of death is a pain in the butt. I have had to replace my Xbox because of that ring. I've kept the same PS3 for a really long time now, never had to replace it. You don't have to take an air compressor to it when a little bit of dust completely blocks the laser for reading discs, like my Xbox 360. The PS3 also plays Blue Ray movies. One really annoying thing for me is that when I want to play online in Halo I can't because I would have to subscribe. Playstation Network is completely free. PS3 discs are way more durable too. They don't scratch as often and they don't get that extremely annoying ring around the outside. Side: PS3 is better

I have both consoles, and both are great, but I think ps3 is better, mostly because of the exclusive titles. Xbox has gears of war, halo, and forza(it probably has more but those are the only ones I am even slightly interested in). PS3 has Killzone, Infamous, Uncharted, and Gran Turismo. In my opinion, the PS3 exclusives are way better than the Xbox exclusives. Also as probably everyone else has said, PSN is free and XBL is not. Side: PS3 is better

I have never owned a PS3 and I only have an xbox 360, which I have gone on to hate. Playstation network is free, xbox 360 gold membership costs 60 bucks a year. Xbox 360 get's the red ring of death, and the fact that microsoft added an actual red LED light for this occurrence, means that it happens a lot. Xbox 360, or at least mine freezes way way too much, and it often has problems reading the game disks. The disk tray almost always get jammed, so I have to get a pin and move the gears to finally get it to open. I'm not sure if this happens with PS3 but if you move an xbox while a game is running, it'll scratch it to hell. The Xbox 360 does have its benefits, though; suck as the controllers. Some may find the controllers too big, but i think they're comfortable to hold and handle, especially the triggers, though the buttons on the controllers often get sticky. Halo is also an advantage to Xbox even though the game can get very frustrating. Another good thing about the xbox is the price, which is I think about a hundred dollars cheaper than the PS3, but when it comes to quality, ehh. And the other advantage is the popularity of the xbox, it shouldn't be a problem in online matchmaking. But that's it..those are pretty much the only good things about it. The only reason why I didn't get a PS3 by now, is because of all of the money I have spent on games. If it hadn't been for the hundreds of dollars that I've spent on games, I would have a PS3 by now. I have played PS3 at my friend's house and I prefer it. When it comes down to quality, a Chinese piece of crap vs a Japanese piece of crap (it isn't crap lol) PS3 is the way to go, even if you have to spend the an extra hundred dollars on it, you really get the bang for your buck.

Lets start off with saying the PS3 is way better than xbox 360. 1.it has free online gaming 2.it has a bunch of free games on the playstation store 3. it has good graphics even on a SD tv. 4.the games are cheaper 5.xbox 60 has the same games for ps3 the list could go on but over all PS3 is better Side: PS3 is better
So, PS3 fanboys, how's that "free online" working for you? Oh, wait. It got hacked and millions of peoples personal details and credit card info was stolen right under sony's noses. At least I can trust Microsoft to not hand out my credit card number to some bored 19 year old. Side: Xbox 360 kicks the ps3s ass

Um... it was hacked by an enormous group of hackers known as anon. They can hack anything so saying that sony got hacked by them doesn't mean anything. This is far more than some bored 19 year old. These people hacked the government. And no, no one's personal details or credit card information got stolen. And no you can't trust microsoft, because they're security is the absolute worst. Windows, is the most insecure OS there is, and the Xbox is the most insecure console there is. They were just lucky enough not to be the target in this case, and that bill you pay for your internet is irrelevant to any service or security you may think you're getting from it Side: PS3 is better
