ok, i think i've decided, but with the Xbox 360 do i HAVE to have xbox live? like after the free month of xbox live do i have to pay? plz answer this too

Answer
Aren't you forgetting the new Xbox 360?
-----
Anyway, I swear to god that the Xbox 360 is the better than the PlayStation 3.
-----
The PlayStation 3's exclusives focuses more on the graphics and the story and less on the gameplay. While the Xbox 360's exclusives does focus on the gameplay. It's true that the PlayStation 3 has better graphics, but that only applies to the exclusives like, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and a few cross-platform games like, Final Fantasy XIII.
-----
Also, even though you have to pay, the online is better on the Xbox 360 than the PlayStation 3 due to less lag, most players using a headset (Watch out for the annoying children), being quick and easy way to meet up with your friends, earlier DLC, earlier add-on's and the achievements.

Also, the PlayStation 3 is more expensive than the Xbox 360, due to the Blu-Ray (Who cares) and free online.

But, Microsoft added a free month of Xbox LIVE gold into brand-new consoles for a good reason, because you may never know, after a straight 2 months playing online on PlayStation Network, you might get bored and then you'll notice that the extra price for the PlayStation 3 compared to the Xbox 360 is not worth it.

Also, if you were happy with the free month of playing online on Xbox LIVE, you could always buy a year of Xbox LIVE gold, and even though you pay, the Xbox 360 will still be cheaper than the PlayStation 3, just be sure to use the membership wisely, specifically 75%+ of it.
-----
Also, the Xbox 360 controller is better in many ways, because the triggers are better, it has a better button layout, the sticks are more easier to hold on to and it's more comfortable. The only bad thing is that the Xbox 360 controller doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery pack, you'll have to buy rechargeable batteries and a charger for them, and again, even if you buy it, the Xbox 360 will be cheaper than the PlayStation 3.

The Xbox 360 controller is great for first-person shooters, third-person/stealth shooters, adventure, sandbox and racing games.

The PlayStation 3 controller is too small and the triggers are horrible because of the bottom of it, plus, your thumbs can sometimes slip off the stick because the stick is curved. The good thing about it is that it has a built-in rechargeable battery pack, though I'm not sure if it lasts forever.

The PlayStation 3 controller is great for RPG's and fighting games.
-----
Most cross-platform games runs and plays better on the Xbox 360 due to better controls, better online, slightly better graphics, smoother speed and achievements.
-----
Pros - Xbox 360:

-Better online (Less lag and more people with headsets)
-Better exclusives (In my opinion)
-Cross-platform games play and run better on the Xbox 360
-Better controller
-Kinect
-Cheaper
-Achievements
-Free headset
-Earlier and better DLC

Cons - Xbox 360:

-You have to pay to play online and to use a few Xbox LIVE features like: Facebook and Twitter
-You'll find lots of annoying children screaming and cussing on Xbox LIVE, mostly on Halo 3 and even worse, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Pros - PlayStation 3:

-Free online gameplay
-Ultimate graphics that almost matches the real world (Only on Sony exclusives)
-3D compatibility coming soon to the PlayStation 3 (Requires a 3D-ready TV and a PlayStation 3 game with 3D support)

Cons - PlayStation 3:

-Trophies
-Expensive
-PlayStation Move (A rip-off of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk)
-Not many people own a headset (Zipper Interactive should have released M.A.G. for the Xbox 360 instead)
-Exclusives mainly focus on the graphics and story and not gameplay
-Late DLC
-----
EDIT: You can get the free month of Xbox LIVE first, then once it's finished, then you'll have to pay for Xbox LIVE. I recommend the 12-month card.

Does the new Xbox 360 Slim come with a Blu-Ray Player?

Q.

Answer
hahahahahahahaha

also ive been trying to check my email with my xbox is there some kind of internet browser to which i can do this? thanks

Should I get a PS3 Slim or a standalone Blu-Ray player?

xN7 SNiiPe

I already have an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live and I was just wondering how the Blu-Ray player is on the PS3. I want to start watching in Blu-Ray now and the PS3 seems like the best for what it does. I can buy exclusive games for the PS3 and play them and play Blu-Rays on it as well. Along with future firmware updates it seems like the PS3 is the best to get? Is there really a quality different between the PS3 and a regular Blu-Ray player?
I want sound quality as well. I have a good 7.1 system in my room with a good Onkyo receiver. Does the PS3 support the good audio specs or should I go for a standalone for those?
I already have 3 HDMI cables that I do not use but I keep when needed. I originally had planned on getting a ps3 but if the quality is significantly different then I will not get it. So the PS3 overall is the best choice? I can get the 250gb slim on ebay brand new for $265...

Answer
Get the PS3. It has all the required features to enjoy the latest 7.1 Surround, it can be updated with newer Blu-Ray features via firmware, and the Cell Processor processes sound better than most of the available stand alone players. All with a retail price of less than $400 (for current models).

Should I get an xbox 360 slim for my birthday?

blu ray player xbox 360 slim image

Andrew Lar

My birthday is soon and I wanted to know should I ask for a 250gb xbox 360 slim? I never used one before. I would have hdmi hooked up to hdtv. The things I would do mostly is netflix gta iv movies and overall random games. How is netflix? If its bad then w/e I have a wii for that.

Answer
If you are not in it for hardcore multiplayer gaming, then I would opt for a PS3 instead. PS3 has free access to Sony's online world. There is Netflix for PS3 as well, and it has always worked wonderfully for me. GTA IV is also available on PS3, and movie watching experience is much better because PS3 has a blu-ray player (which can play DVDs as well). So even if you don't have blu ray or are not interested in it now, you might be in the future. If you are hooked up to an HDTV, then blu ray is definitely the better choice for movie watching experience. So, because of the things you listed that you would use it for, I really do believe a PS3 would be your best choice mainly for the potential to watch blu-rays as well as the free internet access.

What are all of the PROS and CONS for the XBOX 360 and the Ps3?

Answer
XBOX Pros

Better quality online game play
Access to streaming- ESPN in USA and Sky in UK
Windows Media Centre
Higher disc read speed on single layer discs
Backwards compatibility covers more of the games than PS3(slim)

Cons

Lacks the Cell chip which PS3 has, so in long term PS3 is in better position for more advanced games.
Red Ring Of Death
No Blu ray player
Older models don't have built in WiFi
Batteries for wireless controllers

PS3 Pros

Blu ray player
Free online gaming
Fully funtional web browser
No batteries needed for wireless controller
All models have built in WiFi
Larger hardrive

Cons

Online gaming is less reliable than XBOX Live
Updates have to be installed for each new game
Yellow light of death

The following weighs up the technical aspects of both consoles:

CPU
XBOX-3.2GHz Xenon Processor
PS3- 3.2GHz Cell Processor

XBOX-3 dual-threaded cores
PS3- 7 single-threaded cores (plus 1 backup core)

So the CPU chips in both consoles run at the same GHz speed, but the PS3's 7 single-threaded cores beat the XBOX's 3 dual-threaded cores, so if you mearure the performance in gigaflops, the PS3 is nearly 3 times that of the XBOX. In theory, the CPU/GPU chip used in the new XBOX 360 is faster than the individual chips used in older models of the console but to ensure proper funtionality, Microsoft had to install a frontside bus replacement block so the CPU/GPU chip in newer consoles actually runs at the same speed as chips in the older model. This new combined chip in newer XBOX models is slightly better than the chip in a PS3 in terms of reliability and temperature control.

GPU
XBOX-ATI Xenos NVIDIA
PS3 -RSX "Reality Synthesizer"

XBOX-Up to 512 MB GDDR3 RAM (shared w/ system RAM)
PS3 -256 MB GDDR 3RAM (additional 224 MB can be shared w/ system RAM)

XBOX-21.6 GBps bandwidth (256 GBps via eDRAM)
PS3 -22.4 GBps bandwidth

The XBOX Xenos graphics card has more video RAM than PS3 but this video RAM is shared with the consoles system RAM. The PS3 has 256MB of RAM dedicated to video and can also share up to 224MB of RAM from the system RAM if it needs to do so. The PS3 has slightly better bandwidth but the XBOX has the advantage of 10MB of eDRAM which means the XBOX system bandwidth jumps to 256GBps. So, the PS3 show better general performance but the XBOX with its 10MB of eDRAM gives better peak performance.

RAM
XBOX-512 MB GDDR3 RAM (shared with GPU)
PS3 -256 MB XDR RAM

XBOX-700 MHz speed
PS3 -3.2 GHz speed

XBOX-22.4 Gbps bandwidth
PS3 -25.6 Gbps bandwidth

The XBOX total RAM is misleading because system RAM and video RAM are shared. The PS3's XDR RAM is faster and more efficient than XBOX's GDDR3 RAM. The PS3's runs at 3.2GHz compared to XBOX's 700MHz.

Hard Drive
XBOX-250 GB HDD or 4 GB SSD
PS3 -160 or 320 GB HDD

XBOX-5400 rpm
PS3 -5400 rpm

XBOX-User replaceable w/ proprietary HDD
PS3 -User replaceable w/ standard HDD

The HDD units in both consoles are very similar, both run at 5400rpm and have several hundred GB of storage. High end PS3 models have 320 GB HDD compared to XBOX 250 GB. The advantage of the PS3 is its support of standard 2.5" SATA notebook hard drives which means the PS3 hard drive can be upgraded with drives that have higher capacities and rpm speeds but XBOX only supports Microsofts proprietary HDD model.

Disc Drive
XBOX-12x read speed (DVD) 8x read speed (DVD)
PS3 -2x read speed (Blu-ray)

XBOX-7 GB disc space
PS3 -25 GB disc space

The XBOX has higher DVD disc read speed than PS3. If you compare XBOX DVD read speed to PS3 Blu ray disc read speed XBOX maxes out at 15.85 MBps on a single layer disc and the PS3's maximum is 9 MBps. But the XBOX's speed is reduced when reading dual layer discs. The PS3 disc drive runs slower than the XBOX but the PS3 does have higher storage capacity due to blu ray.

In my opinion the PS3 is superior, apart from online gaming.

- Only comes with standard def av cables.
- Does not use the old memory cards or hard drives.
- Touch sensitive buttons that when touch emit a soft tone.
- Kinect ready socket in the back.

Should I buy a Ps3 Slim if i already have an Xbox 360?

blu ray player xbox 360 slim image

Chris

***Please Read Before Answering***

I currently own an Xbox 360 and I am very happy with it. I have no complains about the Xbox 360 and i am not planning on selling it any time soon. My only thing is that ive heard of a lot of very good Ps3 exclusives that i am very interested in. Some of them being the Uncharted series, inFAMOUS series, God of War series, LittleBigPlanet. Let me know if you think it is worth buying a Ps3 mainly for the exclusives and if yes, please recommend some Ps3 exclusives i should check out.

Answer
why not , nothing says you can't own both systems ?
the ps3 has a ton of great exclusives and psn plus , if you join gives you an entire game collection free for a small $50 cost so you might not even buy any other games .
uncharted series , infamous series , god of war series , metal gear hd collection , killzone series , heavy rain , pixeljunk series , flower , journey , dead nation , super stardust hd bundle , warhawk , little big planet series , rainbow moon , burn zombie burn , comet crash , heavenly sword , ico /shadow of the colossus collection , metal gear 4 , motorstorm series , ratchet and clank series , resistance series , savage moon , all of them are ps3 exclusives and there are over 2oo games that I could list still just as exclusives and most are really good games

The other hood thig is you can download all of those old ps1 classic games to the ps3 , some ps2 games are available on psn ( more to come ) and if you get a psvita you can buy games that either support cross buy ( meaning buy the game for one system and get it free for the other ) m cross play ( meaning ps3 and psvita players play online together , or remote play which lets you use a psp or psvita to play supported remote play ps3 games , the ps3 turns on remotely via the internet and runs the games but you play using the psp or vita screen and controls , letting you play games away from home even if you only have it on the ps3
demos are free . and check out what you get with psn plus ( new content is added weekly - discounts and freebies - and once a month a major change is made , a retail game added free while one gets removed - see link )

us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/

you'll also get a great quality blu-ray player that supports 3D , 1080p and updates via the internet and can use apps like playstation home which is an online community in a virtual 3d world , you might end up using the ps3 as much as your 360 or maybe more , but having both lets you play all games no matter if they are exclusive or not and when one systems gets a better version you can buy it for that system ( example 360 might get early dlc for one game , ps3 might get extra content for another even though the games are available on both )

Is there going to be a new playstation and xbox coming out?

Q. i want the new black xbox 360 for christmas or the ps3 slim but if there going to be coming out with new systems soon i can wait. so what should i do and which one should i pick?

Should I get my son an xbox 360 or a ps3 for his twelth birthday?

Michael Tu

I don't know weather to get my 12 year old son a ps3 or an xbox 360. He says he wants an xbox 360 because all of his frineds have an xbox what do you think i should get him?

Answer
I would suggest to follow your son for buying the Xbox 360 because it is the best console ever made for gaming and he would love playing the most popular game n Xbox. right now is Halo reach. But if he likes watching blu-ray movies and playing online for free I would suggest the PS3.

The Xbox 360 is a total media center that allows users to play, network, rip, stream and download all types of media, including high-definition movies, music, digital pictures and game content.

The Xbox 360 can also display pictures and perform slideshows of photo collections with various transition effects, and supports audio playback, with music player controls accessible through the Xbox 360 Guide button.

The Xbox 360 is available in three standard variants; the "Xbox 360 Arcade", the "Xbox 360 Premium", and the "Xbox 360 Elite". There is also the latest Xbox 360 Slim, is just the same with the great Xbox 360 experience with added features like a new sleek smaller form factor case and controller with matching color scheme, 250 GB internal hard drive. This enormous hard drive gives you more than enough room to install all your games and download endless content from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Some of the most top Xbox360 games are:
Halo Reach, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, Half Life 2: The Orange Box, Gears of War 2, Shadow Complex, Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead 2,
