blu ray player 4od image
MissNutty
I know this is a very common question, and there's not a clear cut choice, but is there a better choice specifically for me. I'm quite a rounded gamer. I love light hearted games, I have a wii and I play games like Mario galaxy and wii party all the time, so it would be great to have some light hearted stuff to do at the same time. However, I am really keen to get into proper gaming, hense the main reason for wanting to get a more serious console. I would want to play online with other people and maybe use it for bbc iplayer/4od/blu ray depending on the console. Also which type should I get memory-wise? The PS3 come in 160gb and 320gb, and the xbox in 4gb and 360gb. I would not want to store any music or pictures or games, I would just use the raw disc. Also money is limited. Paying for xbox live gold I can see being a pain on that front but if I can play online with a PS3 for free is it better or is it worth paying for the xbox live? I really can't choose.
Thanks :)

Prepare to read a lot alright.
Weigh the pros and cons of both systems. That way it is an unbiased approach and fanboys from either side wonât be able to say anything.
PS3 Pros:
-Online is FREE
-Less annoying kids/hackers
-Better and MORE exclusive games that come in True HD 1080p *the ones I list here won't for the most part, but many others can* (Infamous, MAG, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5, etc.)
-The games are made on Blu ray discs (EXTREMELY HARD to scratch/ruin, the only way I can think of is by taking something sharp to it yourself)
-It can go up to True HD 1080p instead of topping off at HD 720p. (provided you have an HDMI cable and a TV that supports that resolution)
-It is a Blu ray player
-You can browse on the internet
-IT HAS THE LOWEST FAILURE RATE OF ANY SYSTEM TO DATE (that's really important)
-It cannot overheat easily
-Bigger hard drives.
-The PS3 Slim *redesigned from the PS3 Fat* is 33% quieter, smaller, faster, and more efficient (in other words, You'll save money on power bills)
- PS3 supports 3D
-Closest thing to being a computer without actually being one
-Look, I can go on and on, but that wouldn't be fair to 360â¦
PS3 Cons:
-It does not have theatre playback
-It has the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD, HOWEVER THIS HAPPENS VERY RARELY! Youâd have to be very silly with the system for it to get the YLOD quickly.)
-The online isn't as nice as the 360's where it will switch hosts
Xbox 360 Pros:
-The online has dedicated servers that will swap hosts who have crappy connections
-It has its own exclusives (Halo, Gears of War, Fable, etc.)
-It has a neat theatre playback feature
Xbox 360 Cons:
-It is NOTORIOUS for breaking down (within 2 years. They designed it that way ON PURPOSE to get more money out of you. In other words, they lie saying its a better system)
-It gets the Red Rings of Death (RROD, which forces you to send it in to get repaired which takes away from your fun and experience)
-It overheats easily
-It uses DVD ROMs for its games (VERY EASY to scratch/ruin, and they cannot support True HD 1080p)
-The graphics are good, but not as good. (The reason for this isn't because the system isn't capable or anything. It is. But because they put their games on DVD ROMs, it can't support that resolution. It can only go MAX HD 720p without "upscaling" the graphics to make it LOOK like 1080p. Don't be fooled, its really not even close)
-You'll have to send it in fairly often. (My buddy had to send his 360 in 6 times in ONE YEAR. He had to pay to repair it, plus shipping/handling. That is unacceptable. You want the system to last so you can play it and enjoy it. Not waste more money to fix it.)
-The insides of the 360 are cheap. They will also break (again, Microsoft designed it like that ON PURPOSE)
-Smaller hard drives
-You cannot browse the internet
-Online is NOT free
-360 fanboys are THE WORST and MOST annoying fanboys you'll ever meet
-More hackers and annoying little kids play online
- Does not support 3D
When you weigh the pros and cons, PS3 is the obvious winner in terms of better everything. Everything on the inside of the PS3 was custom designed and built from scratch. The PS3 is designed to last as long as possible whereas the 360 is designed to break down soon so they get more money out of you (as if they need it, they really don't. They just aren't an ethical company). Sony actually thinks very highly of their customers and try to give them a product that will out do the rest. So far, no argument, hands down, they have.
You get way more for your buck with PS3. It also depends on your style of gaming though. Are you just a hardcore gamer? Go 360. Are you a gamer, but also like extras that are extremely convenient and just make for a better overall experience? Go PS3. The games are pretty much equal, but you'll find the experience of games that are shared more fulfilling on the PS3. It just flows better. You can also adjust your setting to filtre out any and all gaming lag (offline only, not online) on the PS3 (you need the HDMI for that though).
Hope that helps.

Should I get a PS3 or an Xbox 360?
ilovemyfat
I seriously need a new game system. I figured handheld systems are not for me. I own a wii but that thing is so boring it's sitting in a tub! I like to play it every now and then but I need something new.
Should I get a PS3 or an Xbox 360? In your opinion, which is better? Which is cheaper?
Answer
PS3 of course
I would get the PS3. Not only does it have something for everyone, it also has certain exclusives that are just too good to pass up (Mainly Uncharted series). Here are a few more exclusive games:
1. Heavenly Sword
2. God of War
3. Little Big Planet
4. Resistance
5. KillZone
6. Yakuza
7. Uncharted
8. Infamous
9. Gran Turismo ( Racing Game )
10. Dust 514
Here are some for the Xbox 360:
1. Halo
2. Gears of War
3. Forza ( Racing Game )
That's about it for Xbox 360 'must-haves'. Every other good Xbox 360 game you can also get for PC. Also, you have to pay for online gaming with the Xbox 360...as if Microsoft wasn't rich enough. You will never have to pay to play with PS3 or Wii.
One more thing...the Xbox 360 still doesn't play Blu-Ray discs, so definitely go for PS3 if you want to watch movies. I can understand how Microsoft was fighting for their disc format, but they locked themselves out from watching movies and shows with high quality because of it. A pitiful decision.
Don't even get me started on the sheer power of the systems. Both systems put out about the same quality in their games, the PS3 is more powerful. Also, who wants to play with giant controller the Xbox 360 sports? Sony gives it's customers style. PS3 also has Lovefilm, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, 4oD, MUBI, Music Unlimited, VidZone, PlayTV and ITV/STV/UTV Player plus many many photo apps.
