Is PS3 better than Xbox 360?

I think PS3 is better because you don't have to spend as much on it and I hear it has better graphics.....What's your opinion?

First of all, i'm not saying PS3 is better. I believe both consoles are great seeing as i've had both. They both have their ups and downs, and it's pointless to argue which is better.

Another thing is, most people who DO argue about these kinds of things, are usually fan-boys/girls who only think one is better then the other because they've grown up with that console and come to love that consol and only know about that console. Reading some of the arguments on this page, i've learnt some people don't actually no what they're talking about.

A lot of my friends have PS3s, and a lot of my friends have XBoxes. The ones with PS3s say that PS3 is better and the ones with XBoxes say the XBox is better. But the thing is, they only HAD one console or the other. My brother has an XBox and a PS3 for some odd reason and he even stayed with me for a while with both. I played both and they're both great. I don't see a big difference between the two.

If you argue whether or not the PC is better than the PS3/Xbox, i'd gladly argue that case.

I will say now I prefer the Xbox 360 (As you know xD) but you make some really good points there. I do prefer the Xbox now because I've had it for most of the time I've been a gamer. There are so many games on there I like, but that's because I've lived with them instead of PS3 games. I did have a PS2, and I loved some of the games on that, especially the Final Fantasy series, and it's such a shame they make them mostly for Playstation. The only one they made for both was rubbish in my opinion. I have played games on a PS3 before, and thought some were alright, but never got a proper chance to play, so I can't really comment on how good they are.

Ps3 is better because it has free online and also has games that Xbox doesn't have like Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 1,2, and 3, Uncharted 1.2,and 3, God of War 1,2,3. God of War Chains of Olympus, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Killzone 1,2,3, and many more games we have that are a lot better than xbox's. We also have a built in Bluray player and also our games are built in with bluray. Also some games that the Xbox has like L.A Noire has 4 discs because it doesn't have Bluray. Also Bluray is a Sony product and if Xbox wants to have it then they have to pay sony since its there product.

Free online...that gets hacked...and then people lose all their money. Yeah, I'm happy paying $50 a year to play Xbox Live knowing my credit card information is safe.

also has games that Xbox doesn't have like Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 1,2, and 3, Uncharted 1.2,and 3, God of War 1,2,3. God of War Chains of Olympus, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Killzone 1,2,3

God of War 1 and 2 were made for the PS2, not PS3. God of War Chains of Olympus and God of War Ghost of Sparta were made for the PSP, not PS3. Killzone 1 was made for the PS2, not PS3.

We also have a built in Bluray player and also our games are built in with bluray. Also some games that the Xbox has like L.A Noire has 4 discs because it doesn't have Bluray. Also Bluray is a Sony product and if Xbox wants to have it then they have to pay sony since its there product.

Better technology doesn't mean a better game console.

You also failed to mention the fact that PS3 has obsolete graphics, the R.R.P (Recommended Retail Price) is so high it's insane, and that the PS3 has a much slower loading time for its games. Please don't say the Xbox 360 is crap because it breaks all the time (red ring of death) because that problem has been fixed for the past 2 years ever since the new Xbox 360 consoles were brought into the market.

God of War 1&2;(God of War Collection) were remade from onto the ps3 so basically yes they did make 1 and 2 for ps3 but had trophies and put HD into one and two. God of War Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus they were on PSP but made into ps3 for trophies and in HD. (God of War Origins Collection)

Ps3 has a much slower loading time for its games

Not really it loads perfectly fine for all my games.

Who ever hacked ps3 was stupid and idiotic they just wanted to ruin our fun.

If you look on Youtube on the console wars they say that the better system is PS3 and it tells you why.

The Xbox only Red Rings when it doesn't know what to do. This was because Microsoft programmed it to otherwise it may have completely broken. The new Xbox 360 physically CANNOT Red Ring despite users best efforts.

I'm sorry, but not EVERYONE lost their money. Barely anyone did lose their money. Get your facts straight.

I admit, xbox live gameplay is pretty good because you think the connection is better, but really, i don't see a difference. My brother brought his xbox over to where i live (Middle east) and the connection for both consoles were exactly the same for the same game.

We've paid for things online with credit card and it doesn't seem like any money has been stolen.

Although Ps3 has had many good games; Xbox 360 also has Halo: 1,2,3, ODST, Reach and now Halo CE Anniversary. The Xbox controller is also more user friendly due to its unique design which allows for maximum comfort for long game playing sessions.

Xbox 360 is better.

It has a much better online community than PS3 does. It also has developed Kinect, an excellent motion sensing addition that allows you to play games similar to the Nintendo Wii.

Kinect also does not require an extra controller as opposed to Playstation Move. It can be played completly by using your body and hands.

Admittedly, Xbox kinect is great. It's fun but there are some problems with it.

A lot of games cannot be played without buttons, which means the games for the kinect are very limited.

The PS3 move controllers do have buttons, however i've tried them and they aren't the best either for shooter games like Killzone. To make the game challenging and fun you'd probably play the Move, but it was tiring and difficult to aim, which also limits the gameplay with the Move.

In a multiconsole world, how do you know whether the Nintendo Wii, the Sony ... If you (or your kids) are hard-core gamers and fans of PlayStation brands like the Metal ... If you're dying to play online, you might want to hold off--the PS3 will have ... but has significantly more functionality, chiefly in its motion-sensor abilities.

Xbox 360 has had less problems in terms with its online server. Although the user has to pay to play, Microsoft hasn't been hacked and is proven to have a good support service if problems for the user occur.

First of all Xbox360 has way better graphics than PS3 and we have more games and better online and it comes in more styles and Xbox360 come out sooner than PS3.So Xbox360 is better.

Xbox 360 is better because xbox is innovative and has fun creative new features such as xna which is the service that allows users to create their own games for xbox marketplace and the review other peoples. xbox is also cheaper. ps3 steals everything that nintendo does such as motion sesitivity) because they are lame and uncreative. ps3 also has no rumble, which is a feature that has came standard on every comsole since the n64. xbox cares about their costomers, sony does not. dont contribute to the theft of other peoples good ideas.

Cheaper doesn't mean it's better. Usually the more expensive things are better.

PS3 didn't steal Nintendo's idea on the motion sensor either. PS2 had used the playstation eye way before Nintendo came up with the Wii, so really, Nintendo "stole" it from the PS3. It's not really stealing either, they just improved it. And if that's what you think, then XBox also "stole" the idea from PS3 since the Playstation Eye is exactly the same, just not as "advanced".

And what do you mean by "rumble"? Do you mean vibration in the controller during gameplay? If so, PS3 DOES have that, they have two different kinds of controllers, 6-axis and dual shock. 6 axis does not have rumble but is very light-weight. Dual shock has rumble but is a bit heavier.
