crazy dude
I was wondering I want to get either the ps3 or the XBox 360 and I want to know which ones better.
Answer
The PS3 is the obvious choice here. In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future, it will have over-the-top graphical capabilities (google âHeavy Rainâ). And to those who say the Xbox 360 is cheaper, well then just look at the following list:
With the PS3, you get:
-A Blu-Ray player, which if you wanted one of equal value would blow at least a $700 hole in your wallet, plus a mean DVD-upconverter
-Free online service, the Playstation Network, which is only a few steps behind Xbox Live these days
-An ever-growing list of exclusives, like Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Metal Gear Solid 4 and in the future: inFamous, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.âin which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time)
-More flexible in terms of hardware, e.g. swappable HDD, USB mini cable, etc.
-Built in, superior Wi-Fi
-Web browser
-A super sleek system complete with chrome trim and a slot loading disc drive
With the Xbox 360, you get:
-DVD Player/upconverter
-Xbox live, which is $60/year, and not even worth it
-Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 (thatâs a lot of exclusives compared to the PS3, if you ask me: P)
-Ummâ¦canât really say anything about non-proprietaryness, because Microsoft inflates the prices for their accessories.
-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")
-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 11th!
So hereâs a quick run-down of what you must buy with the PS3 and 360:
PS3:
Console $400
Game $60
Controller $55
Charger $2-10--any USB mini cable will do
Total: $517
Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money.
Xbox 360:
Console $300
Game $60
Controller $60
Play and Charge kit x2 $60
Xbox Live $60
Wi-Fi $100
Total: $640
Thatâs not cheaper, so get a grip on it! Sony said that they made the PS3 to last a decade. The multi-platform games are using about 25% of the PS3's graphical potential. So there's lots of wiggle room in the future for much more brighter, detailed and massive environments.
On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360âs potential. And they look about the same. At this rate in 1 year, the PS3 will have outshone the 360 graphic wise. Itâs just that the 8-core Cell Broadband Processor is very complex, and takes developers time to get used to. And they are getting the hang of things. The PS3 has a very good reliability rate: only 0.2% failure rate (note the decimal), while Xbox 360's have a 30% failure rate. So, for every 1000 of both consoles produced, 2 PS3's are defective, whilst about 330 Xbox 360's are defective. The numbers speak for themselves. Many game developers have OPENLY stated that in the near future, and right now, they will use the PS3 as a lead-developing platform, and then they will port the games to the 360.
Also, many Xbox fanboys will say "Sure, LIVE is 60 bucks a year, but you get what you pay for." Isn't this like a Sony fanboy saying "Sure, PS3 is a 100 bucks more, but that is *pretty much* all you pay for?
So in conclusion, the PS3 is betterâyou get the most bang for your buck, and it's an incredibly advanced all-in-one home media center hub. You can even install Linux or Windows XP and use it as a computer-legally! While with the Xbox 360, Microsoft will ban your 360 from certain things, if you install the OS at all (just try to bypass the security).
Hope this helps!
Okay, could tell me what should I get; PS3 or a 360*?
I have the money and everything. Im thinking to buy a PS3 with MGS4, Uncharted, & C of D 5. I have 500$ and I do not care if I spend it all. But im debating because the 360* has better online. What would you choose in the situation?
Answer
NOTE: Skip ahead to the *** if you aren't interested in reading an essay lol and just want to see the comparison of PSN VS LIVE (3rd paragraph from the bottom)
Why you should get a PS3 and NOT a Xbox 360
The *expected* lifetimes of current home video game consoles:
Xbox 360--2005-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it
Wii-2006-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it
Playstation 3-2015 (Sony said they made it to last 10 years, so 2006+10 years=2016, round it down just to be safe), you'll get 7 years out of it.
In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future and it has over-the-top graphical capabilities (google âHeavy Rainâ). And to those who say the Xbox 360 is cheaper, well then just look at the following list:

Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.âin which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time, 128 VS 128)
-More flexible in terms of hardware, e.g. swappable HDD, USB mini cable, etc.
-Built in, superior Wi-Fi
-Web browser
-A super sleek system complete with chrome trim and a slot loading disc drive
-HDMI 1.3, Xbox 360 only has HDMI 1.2 (major difference despite only a 0.1 difference)
With the Xbox 360, you get:
-DVD Player/upconverter
-Xbox live, which is $50/year, and not even worth it
-Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 (thatâs a lot of exclusives compared to the PS3, if you ask me: P)
-Ummâ¦canât really say anything about non-proprietaryness, because Microsoft inflates the prices for their accessories. 120GB for $150? With the PS3, you can upgrade to 500GB for $110!
-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")
-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 12th!

Total: $517 ($2 USB mini cable)
Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money (gaming console+computer+SUPERB Blu Ray player)
Xbox 360:
Console $300
Game $60
Controller $60
Play and Charge kit x2 $60 (for 2 controllers)
Xbox Live $60
Wi-Fi $100
Total: $640

On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360âs potential. And they look the same, if not better on the PS3.

***Xbox Live VS PSN? The only thing you are missing is cross voice chat, which can easily be solved by using a telephone, or even in PSNâs V3.00 update, which we will be seeing soon enough.***
The PS3 has sold 21 million units in 2 years. The Xbox 360 has sold 28 million in 3 years. Plus a 33% failure rate, that means that 9.24 million units are either refurbished ones or replacements. So really, the amount of one-time buyers is about 19 million. So really, the PS3 has sold 21 million in 2 years, while the Xbox 360 has sold 19 in 3 years, and the PS3 has a higher face value ($199.99 vs. $399.99)
So in conclusion, the PS3 is betterâyou get the most bang for your buck, and it's an incredibly advanced all-in-one home media center hub. You can even install Linux or Windows XP and use it as a computerâlegally! While with the Xbox 360, Microsoft will ban your 360 from certain things, if you install the OS at all (just try to bypass the security).
