PS3 vs. Xbox 360
Size: Large, Medium, Small Sat Nov 17, 07 11:24 AM | Category: All

Ok...so I'm trying to decide on which system to get. Each has its own pros and cons. There are certain games for the 360 that I like such as all the Halo's, Gears of War, Assasin's Creed (not sure if its for PS3 as well)..etc. It is supposed to have an amazing online play experience, I like its design/look better than the PS3's but what I dislike is it has a smaller Hard drive than the PS3, you have to pay for online play, and the fact that Microsoft has all these little add ons for it to make a bigger profit (ie. cooling fan, external High Definition movie drive, etc...). What I like about the PS3 is, it plays Blu-ray (i'm a fan of Blu-ray), the online is free, and the fact that there are more games that can be played on the PS3, what I dislike is it costs more out of the two systems, I heard the online is not as good as the 360's and the look dooes not appeal to me that much compared to the 360. These two consoles are driving me nuts on making a decision. Maybe I should just wait longer and save up for a Quad-core desktop PC with about 1gig of RAM, 320gig hard drive, a video card (dont know which one), Windows Vista Premium for about $900 to $1100 dollars, its much more powerful than either console, more storage space, but it needs upgrades and updates and is sometimes a hassle............AAAAARRRRRGHH....I can't make up my mind. What do you people think? and what are some other pros and cons for the consoles?

 

 

Edit Nov 18/07- Ok so PS3 has its own little add ons..intercooler...etc.. and the 360 comes with a 120gb hard drive which is more than ps3's 80 gb one but for me there still isnt a clear cut winner...i need more opinions to figure out what is the best choice for me.

Xbox 360. Though I like both, I own only a 360, Blu-ray is great...yea and the cheapest you can get a blu-ray player, but I'm fine with normal high def, unless it's on a bigass screen. Xbox 360 has the better games and you can download programs like Xlink or XBCConnect to play xbox live for free.

Does Xlink or XBCConnect cost money to download and where do you get it from?

At the moment xlink has support for more newer games like Halo 3. Eventually Xbc will add newer games, but if you want to play newer games try out xlink. They are both FREE!

Oh yea Assassin's is for both consoles, it's an okay game. Besides being repetitive it's a lot of fun.

i like Xbox 360 haha,Xbox360 is Microsoft's game console from Microsoft ultra-high price, performance and the high degree of support is a big selling point

ps3 all the way...

Im so glad i got rid of my 360 and got one... Online play is miles better and games are much sharper, colorful etc... Plus the ps3s design is great.. Love it.. Yes, assasins creed is on puss3. Could go on and on.. But in the end the ps3 will win.. It just needs to get its feet on the ground first :D

The 360 to me is just another computer in an ugly box...


Zeke1901 (Zeke) Mon Nov 19, 07 11:58 AM

Xbox 360 has three cores, allowing for some better graphics. PS3 generally looks better though, but graphics can't beat gameplay.

Ps3 has seven cores and sony are one of the companys invold in multicore chip

creation, microsoft just used what IBM gave them wich is no where near ps3

cell processor, even us military put in a contract to use sony cell processors in there new radar and guidance system, Sony wins hands down, in a couple of years there probably won't be a 360 but ps3 will just be getting

to its real potential.


Zeke1901 (Zeke) Mon Dec 10, 07 01:38 PM

PS3 lacks Halo.

Heres what i copied and pasted from my previous post elsewhere...

They simply are better than the 360.. You will get a huge fan base on both consoles, some, well most, being ignorant... Many of my friends have the 360 and it never really impressed me. Dont get me wrong it did look good, But it never made me say wow... I have had quite alot of experience with both consoles and the PS3 wins hands down on graphics, sharpness, color, and now even internet play. I have 16 officail ps3 games now so know what the graphics are like on each..:drool: . They got it right this time. You can download software updates, free demos, free full games from the playstation store and more.. And the six axiss controller is amazing. smile.gif... Ive always looked at it this way... Microsoft have always been good with graphics due to being on the computer side for a very long time.. Sony started from scratch and look how far they came.. PS4 isnt going to be hitting the market till 2019 or somewhere around there... Xbox to me is just another computer in an ugly box...

Im sure you have had a ps2... Remember when they first came out and what the graphics were like... They soon progressed and the graphics just got better... And that is going to happen with the ps3. I watch gamers channel quite abit, sad i know, lol and all programmers on there say that the ps3 is having a slow start, just like the 360 did when it first came out, but when the ps3 gets its feet in the ground, Xbox will keep on having to make new machines to keep up with it..

P.s 360 wont have GT5 :drool:


Zeke1901 (Zeke) Mon Nov 19, 07 12:02 PM

"You can download software updates, free demos, free full games from the playstation store and more" same on 360. And the PS2 graphics were shit but I had one and it was an awesome console. I agree, better online play...it's free. I have yet to buy a subscription for Xbox Live...M$ don't need anymore money.

simply the best > X360

stunf = lv 3 ^^
XSiV Mon Nov 19, 07 06:34 PM

Right now i'm leaning towards PS3 but Gears of War and Halo 1,2,3 , a bigger 120 Gig HD and the 360's overall look are holding me in the middle, When playing online on the console's does it just plug into the phone line/DSl or router?


Qfoo (qfifi) Tue Nov 20, 07 06:06 PM

Xbox 360 only because Assasin's Creed !!! Thans my apinian.


darkman787 (Darkman787) Thu Nov 22, 07 11:52 AM

Assasin's Creed is on ps3 as well


Mortan Wed Nov 21, 07 12:55 PM

An XBOX is basically a Microsoft PC machine. So that makes it's beter, since a game released in that machine will have more chances to make it to PC too. And that's the point. Since consoles suck.

The good point for the PS3 is all the game they get exclusively, like the Final Fantasies, the Metal Gears, etc...

Btw... PS3 Has a Linux Based system. More Stable.

I would go for the PS3. This thing has 1 processor that acts like the "manager" and 8 other processors that do the rest.

check this out:http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/playstation-three.htm

"For comparison, one of the most powerful desktop PC CPUs available in 2005, the $1,000, dual-core Pentium Processor Extreme Edition, just barely breaks the 200-million-transistor mark."


XSiV Sat Nov 24, 07 06:25 PM

That is impressive but this was in 2005, now for $1000 you could get a Quad-Core PC


whatever72 Thu Nov 22, 07 01:06 PM

At this moment I have the same thing going in my head and I just learned that in PS3 you cant play Ps2 games that really sucks

Another day lost In Front of the Computer
XSiV Thu Nov 22, 07 09:25 PM

I think the PS3 does play PS2 games, just some are not compatible


McKade Sun Nov 25, 07 12:32 PM

PS3 plays about 95% of all Sony Games going back to PS1.

There are some, with offbrand companies mostly, that wont work.

Unlike XBOX where they're still adding titles that are NOW

available to it. Its about 70% compatible.

Higher priced ps3 can play ps2 games, lower priced one can't


XSiV Thu Jan 17, 08 06:36 PM
