Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360 - Which is Better?
What a debate! Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. Both have a huge follower base so knowing what makes each group tick will be very interesting.
So what side of the fence am I on?
Well I'm choosing Playstation 3 over the Xbox 360. No reason really other than I've had every Playstation since they were released and can't see any reason to change.
Try and convince me otherwise!
I've owned the Playstation 3 for well over a year now and really love it, but I have to wonder if I should also buy the XBOX. I'm not really a big Microsoft fan but gaming is gaming and I love games.
Should I get an XBOX? If your just in the market to buy an XBOX or Playstation, which one do you want and why?

Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360
Why I think Playstation is Winning the Battle
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, a combat game due out in June will be available only for the PS3
- The PS3 supports Blu-ray, the technology that triumphed over the competing HD-DVD format
- Sony in the U.S in January sold 269,000 PS3's compared to 230,000 Xbox 360s sold

yeah, ps3 is kinda better . I know xbox has a alot of games but you will not be able to play all of them in life time or have money to buy it. So i just stick with the ps3 games and stuff.

SAL says:
well bros to be honest the ps3 has lost the battle in the world of consoles.reason is that the game developers find it more easy to make games for the xbox360 than ps3 which has a different hardware specs.so as a result there are more games for xbox360 than ps3.but still there is no room for argument that its true ps3 has better hardware specs than xbox 360.ps3 2TFLOPS BUT XBOX 360 1TFLOPS.SO PS3 GIVES BETTER PERFORMANCE.I AM A PLAYSTATION FAN AND WOULD NOT PREFER XBOX360 JUST BECAUSE IT HAS MORE GAMES THAN PS3.PS2 RULED TE CONSOLE WORLD AND WAS THE KIND OF ITS TIME,JUST WAIT PS3 WILL ALSO KICK ASS.TRUST ME ;)

Buy both of them they both have pros and cons and both have some great exclusive games. But if you want it for more than gaming, ie. High def DVD go with the PS3 for the blue-Ray

Xbox 360 doesnt have nothing on the PS3. It copied the playstations L2 and R2 buttons and the Red Ring of death sucks. Also it breaks your CDs. The 360 doesnt even come with a built in HD-DVD drive and you need to buy a wireless adapter that sucks another thing you have to pay to go online WHY!!!!! they also tried to copy the PS3 by making the Elite black and giving HDMI. They also gave it a bigger hard drive 120GB so what the PS3 can like 200 or even more from what Ive heard. The 360 fan is really loud and can get really annoying and the only reason why the 360 has better games because it was out longer. The PS3 has a better graphics processor than 360 By the way HD-DVD sucks theres no more movies coming out for it so it pretty much sucks for the people who bought on. So PS3 Rocks 360 sucks and thats the bottom line cuz I said so

PS3 mostly because it has the BlueRay player, but the xbox does have Mass Effect... The PS3 seems to be more reliable than previous PS products, but we haven't had any trouble with our Xbox either.

The Playstation 3, or Awesomestation 9000 as I like to call it is just a superior piece of hardware, hands down. With games its closer than most people give it credit for... but the 360 is ahead right now. But this coming year thats going to change.
Little Big Planet is so far up my alley that it's probably breaking some anti-sodomy laws. I mean, come on!

1)Better Graphics
2)Online play
3)Better games
4)Games are longer and harder
5)Cheaper
6)Downloadable Content
7)Netflix
8)More gammes to choose from
9)Download classic XBOX games
10)Better game ad-ons
11)Exclusive games better
12)Im missing some stuff but.........
AND yes I know about the Red-Light
But I have had it since like 6 months after the launch and for a whole year I became a part of the 360. Meaning Eat with 360, Dance with 360, Sleep with 360. All the time I was infront of the 360. And nothing wrong with it, never a Red-Light. My friend got it, but that was because he was a retard and left it on for long periods of times without playing. I LOVE THE 360.

lethalmind says:
someone said the 360 breaks cds well ive had one since launch and NO. also the 360 is and always will be backward compitable were as the playstation 3 decided to drop that feature so yes if you go buy a new ps3 it will not play ps1 or ps2 games and it never will also yeah ive had 3 red lights twice since 2006 and i got a new console free of charge both times and it only took 2 weeks faster than bost ebay purchase and thats sending the old one in and recieving the new one and yes blu ray sucks only 10% of people bought it
Posted October 10, 2009
lethalmind says:
first off blu ray is not all what its hyped up to be I would rather the 360s netflix full 1080p streaming over a blu ray since im already a netflix subscriber and its not practicle to buy $34 blu ray movies that ill watch what once or twice secondly the 360 has way better games and in all genre not just shooters exclusives include halo series, left 4 dead series(shooter) blue dragon(jrpg) lost odyssey(jrpg) fable , all of square soft games have only come out on the 360 FF XIII will be the first multiconsole release for the company and splinter cell : conviction , as well as the new metal gear solid : rising , forza , champions online , mass effect series i really could go on but whats the point oh and for you out there who dont buy consoles for the games (playstation 3 owners) xbox also has facebook and twitter

ToonFly says:
Playstation maybe slightly better graphics but after using both machines intensively..........XBox360 wins by a long long way. It's the playability that does it. Involving gameplay is the focus, rather than "looking good". Take Driver Grid (XBox) vs GT (PS3) and you'll see what I mean. The XBox games are just much more playable with an infinitely better sized and shaped controller.
Many more games for XBox too. PS3's only real advantage is Blu Ray.

kamafin says:
Own both systems, Better game graphics/fram rate = Xbox
Machine Durability = PS3
Ultimate Media Hub = PS3
Library of Games = Xbox
My conclusion: Its a tough choice but for sheer gaming pleasure, my vote is for the X360

i really dont know. xbox 360's have great games like halo 3 and many others. But Playsation3 will suit you better for the future . It has a bluray player but no1 buys bluerays so y does it matter? xbox 360's are also cheaper fasho. my pick. idk. it is very very close.xbox live is amazing you have to pay for it but it is definitley worth it. so i guess i would pick the xbox 360 right now because it is cheaper and has better games. but in the future i think that playstation 3 will be the shizz but its not the ps3's time right. its the time for the shizz!!! the xbox 360 of course

I'd say the consoles themselves are pretty much equal but a lot of good games like Halo 3 are xbox 360 exclusive and almost none are PS3 exclusive.

Playstations are a thing on the past mate, sorry to say but, Xbox is deffernately better than the PS3, the PS3 is well over-rated.

PS3 has an advantage in the graphics arena, but their are better games overall on the 360. Despite my love for MGS4 I have to go with the 360. Better online, you get what you pay for, and Sony has lost many of their franchises (devil may cry, final fantasy, etc...)

Optimizing Your PS3 for Superior Graphics Quality
Assassins Creed PS3 vs Xbox360 TRUE Comparison
SPREAD THE WORD! The GameTrailers comparison of the PS3 version to the 360 version is wrong! This video proves it! by just enabling RGB Full Range in Display Settings, the game will look the same as the 360 version. Here is the GT Comparison: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28006.html This technique also works on most PS3 mulitplatform games. e.g. The Darkness Oblivion Beowulf The Game *Sorry for the bad quality, I was using my Digital Camera* UPDATE: Im surprised at how many people have responded to this video, so thank you for your surport. Thanks for making this my first video with 1,000,000 views! FAQ's Q) Where did you get the song from which is playing in this video? A) Its the song from the 'Assassins Creed Soundtrack' and I found it by typing: 'Assassins Creed Soundtrack' on google. Q) Does this damage you PS3 in anyway? A) No, it is perfectly safe for your console and will not overheat it. There is a 0.02% failure rate on a PS3. Q) Is this only for HD displays or can it work on PAL tv's? A) I'm sorry but these settings are only work on HDTV's via HDMI. Q) Does this work on other games other than Assassins Creed? A)It works on all games, some you shall notice a huge difference, others not alot. I saw a big difference on Assassins Creed, Turok and some others. It mainly shows well on Cross platform titles, but exclusives it doesn't show as much (like Uncharted) Since the develoupers have clearly optermised it for the PS3.
