price isn't an issue but i was wondering about reliability. ive heard the xbox can break a lot. i also don't know what else the two consoles do besides play games. can you recommend one. once again price isn't a factor just everything else.
Answer
(I thought I'd throw in the Wii, just to give you a sense of comparison)
The PS3 is much more then a gaming console, it is an entertainment hub â allowing you to play videos, listen to music, chat to friends, catch up on videos, etc.
The PlayStation 3 supersedes the Xbox 360 and Wii in so many aspects.
The Graphics Processing Unit is 50MHz better then the 360âs (PS3âs Reality Synthesizer operates at 550MHz). The Wii is back at 243MHz.
The Central Processing Unit of the PlayStation 3 is 3.2 GHz whilst the Wii lags back at 729 MHz â what a generation gap!
The PlayStation 3âs optical media uses more modern disc technology â Blu Ray. A single sided dual layer BD can store 50 gigabytes of data, which really beats DVD9 (1 side, 2 layers) which can only store 8.54GB. The Wii uses âWii Optical Discsâ which store exactly the same amount as DVDâs.
The robust multimedia capabilities of the PS3 are astounding; it uses new Blu Ray 2.0 technology and can play BD, DVD, and CD and loads of downloaded media as well as many different file formats. The PlayStation 3 remains one of the best (if not, the best) Blu Ray player available. The Wii cannot play DVDâs or CDâs.
The PlayStation 3 supports up to 7 wireless DualShock 3/Sixaxis controllers via Bluetooth 2.0 â compared the 360 and Wii at 4 controllers max. The PlayStation Portable can also operate as a controller.
The weight of the new slimline PS3, at 3.2kg, is 0.3kg lighter then the Xbox 360 (at 3.5kg). The Wii is the lightest console at 1.2kg, but it lacks many features of the PS3 and 360, such as HD and many more.
The PlayStation 3 has 1 gigabit Ethernet port (1000BASE-T), but also supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX if you donât have the right cables. The 360 only supports 100BASE-TX (only operates at 100mbps, 90% less compared to the PS3). The PS3 has a built in IEEE 802.11g/b wireless adapter if youâre not too fond of Ethernet cables running along ceilings etc, the 360 offers wireless IEEE 802.11a/b/g as an optional Wi-Fi adapter (costs money). The Wii has a built in Wireless IEEE 802.11g/b adapter, but only supports Ethernet via an add on (costs money).
The capabilities of PSP connection to PS3 is much wider then connecting the Nintendo DS to the Wii. In fact, the Nintendo DS only supports flawed wireless security (WEP â Wired Equivelant Privacy).
The PS3 DualShock 3/Sixaxis supports motion sensing. The PlayStation Motion Sensing Controller (Sony are probably going to change the name) is due to be released Spring 2010. This special controller can work in co-operation with the PlayStation Eye to offer advanced motions sensing, even better then the Wii. Project Natal for the 360 is also expected in 2010, thus destroying the only unique ability of the Wii (if you exclude Sixaxis motion sensing)!
The PS3 supports HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 1.3a, whereas the 360 lags behind at 1.2a. Both the PS3 and 360 offer HDTV (high definition television) whereas the Wii only supports EDTV (enhanced definition television).
Perhaps the PS3 doesnât offer backward compatibility with PS2 games (unless youâve got a 1st or 2nd generation PS3, in which it supports PS2 emulation via Hardware (1st gen.) or software), but Sony have significantly reduced the price of a PS2 to $99 (United States dollar). All PS3 models support backward compatibility with PS1 titles and the best PS1 games are available for download from the PlayStation store. The PlayStation Network (âPSNâ) is free, whereas Xbox Live costs money for Gold Membership (and the Silver version has limited features). Xbox Live does not allow people to have the name (even if thatâs his/her real name) âGay.â Someone with the gamertag âGaywoodâ (as in his surname) was suspended. The online capabilities of the Wii are quite small if compared to PSN and Xbox Live. The 360 only supports compatibility with a limited amount of Xbox games (465). The Wii supports backward compatibility with all GameCube games.
Despite popular myth, the PS3 does have more exclusives then the 360 (159 vs. 117).
The PS3 doesnât sound like an F-16 Fighting Falcon, whereas the Xbox 360 does.
A lot of problems have been reported regarding the 360âs disc drive. If youâve had the 360 for a fair bit of time, if the 360 console is moved just a bit whilst it is reading a disc, it will scratch and damage it. Microsoft blame the customer for these errors. Watchdog did an investigation on this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2009/03/xbox_360.html
And finally, the PS3 has a much lower failure rate. The 360 has a failure rate of about 30% whereas the PS3âs is less then 1%.
The only advantage the Wii has over the PS3 and 360 is itâs motion sensing (if you exclude Sixaxis): with the upcoming release of the PlayStation Motion Sensing Controller and Project Natal, this partially unique ability will not longer be unique.
The PS3 âSlimâ has been released (1st September 2009 in Europe). It is about 1/3 less power consuming.
PS3 vs. Xbox 360 has been compiled as a video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRaYXHHCgxo - this should give you conclusive evidence that the PS3 is better then the 360.

whats got better graphics, ps3's or Xbox 360?
Q.
Answer
PS3. The PS3 is more powerful and blu-ray discs hold a lot more so the graphics are better. Compare Uncharted or Killzone 2 to any exclusive 360 game and you'll see that the PS3 is better.
Some bad developers don't take full advantage of the PS3's power on multiplatform games but look at Elder Scrolls IV:
Standard quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/18117.html
High quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/18116.html?type=
You'll also notice that the PS3 version has a better framerate and doesn't have any slowdown as it loads.

High quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/18084.html?type=
In game Killzone 2:
Standard quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21600.html?type=
High quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21637.html
Uncharted Review
Standard quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28090.html
High quality- http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28089.html?type=
As you can see the PS3 looks much better and Sony has halved the price of it's development kits so that developers take more advantage of the PS3 and make better multi-platform games. Developers also need more time to make the best of the PS3, they have had a whole year longer with the 360 but it has reached it's potential and the PS3 is nowhere near reaching it's full potential yet. I read that Uncharted uses less than 50% of the PS3's power.
EDIT I noticed that 2 of the games Lollipop showed were launch games for the PS3 when developers had very little time with the PS3. In the other comparison Assassin's Creed on the PS3 just looks like it needs the brightness turned down, for some reason it didn't look like that when I played it.
