Xbox 360 Vs. Ps3 - ready...FIGHT!

I personally think x-box and playstation should merge and make x station. They could monopolize the gaming industry because there is no way that the nintendo wi would even compete with it. I know it would never happen but the idea is pure heaven. I own an x-box 360 and only prefer it over PS3 for one reason, Halo. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't make a difference to me. -Timberlemons

I also say the xbox 360 is better. Playstation was good but there latest release (PS3) has clearly not been a success. Many players have bought the 360, even players who were PS fans. Xbox gives you more to do, you have xbox live which just makes the gaming really good. The options with xbox live are really good and the community is very large.

So i say the xbox 360 is better.

So... in regards to merging and stomping the Wii... the Wii actually has the highest sales and fan base of the current generation lol. So obviously that would not be guaranteed, plus infighting between sony and microsoft would be monumentally damaging lmao.

In regards to the ps3 not being a success, obviously it's release was hampered by various factors not least of which was the price issue. Now that we are a few years in the sales have picked up with new SKU's and units sold is actually getting to a respectable level. It hasn't competed well versus the 360 because it took off so fast and I would not argue it the victor but I am sure I would not call it a failure especially where we are still not at the end of the generation and since the ps3 has been gaining momentum over the past year at a strong rate.

Now, onto my opinion of the consoles themselves. I voted PS3, probably because I own one haha. Personally I think the hardware edge will eventually pay off. The blu-ray player is a great addition without having to buy an addon and it adds a great value to an already strong machine. Further a large portion of the 'great games for 360' are on or coming out for ps3. Sure there are exclusives for microsoft but a few games does not a console make. I enjoy the PSN and have been loving my ps3's media center capabilities. Personally I prefer those over the 360's which I have used long term.

Also I just like the hardware better. The controllers are great in that you can recharge them on the go and not have to stop playing on them. The ability to install linux easily is hours of fun for geeks and can turn your console into emulation heaven, especially with the easy use of external hard drives. I have yet to hear of a single person randomly having their ps3 die (ok, excluding the few during that patch-brick incident, but frankly thats still way better then having a console that dies every few months as I know many 360 users have had happen).

Software wise the 360 DOES have the edge now. Few of the exclusives for ps3 are ground breaking but some great looking ones are on the way and I think in the coming year or two it's going to start leveling the playing field. Frankly I just see the ps3 as a long term solution where the 360 seems like it's strong now but will falter eventually. And personally I buy consoles so I dont need to upgrade every couple years.

So yes, neither console sucks. Neither is perfect by any means. Anyone who says anything along those lines are just insane and shouldn't be allowed to speak in public. But for now I prefer the ps3 personally.

I have always liked sony more than microsoft when it came to gaming but the xbox 360 had three things.
1. It was out way before the PS3 meaning more people had it.
2. It had Halo
3. It had more games because it came out first.
With that said I choose the X-box this time but the wii beats them both.

Wow, you have that backwards. All PS3 consoles come with a hard-drive, which not all Xbox consoles do, and Xbox has a 4 player limit, PS3 has 7. The PS3 has wireless rechargable controllers too, not battery packs.

The game on the 360 are decent, but PS3 games are way better in terms of quality and content.

The 360 is more expensive in the end, with extra add ons and annual fees.

****box360, you mean?

the 360, if applied mean that it just return to where it just started...So wat up with that? sure this opinion is late, but who gives a flying ****? I mean, seriously...The moment ****box360 started selling, I've started hearing bout RROD and ****.

XBL? why would I wanna pay to play online? I'm already paying for the internet, so why should I lump the ****box fees on top of that? not to mention, the damned game already cost $59.99...DVD9 format...8.9GB...How is it next-gen if alot of things has to get cut out?

I've seen Halo...Halo should be renamed as Hallow cuz that all it is...If Halo 3 was suppose to be the best with excellent graphic, then I think it time for all of you idiots to stop being brainwashed cuz the graphic look ****tier...Heck, SNES had better graphic and it was only 8bits.

ps3 has more power behind it. Not to mention, it hasn't been hacked...Which mean that sony is smarter. PS3 doesn't resemble anything remote to ****box360...The shape it takes is better designed...Then there the fact that it comes with HDD while ****box360 comes without one. 160gb? seriously? I've seen some ps3 users have 500gb on theirs.

then, ps3 has BD which provide more content on movies. Have you seen FFVII:AC on DVD? try watching it on BD...They're able to push technology to the brink and back. ****box360? retard...Miscrosoft Points? that another excuse for them to screw you...

basically, bluetooth is probably the best, considering that you can have up to 7 controllers on one consoles, ideal for sports games. Then you can also have free online which should have been started since we're already paying 60 bucks for internet, phone, cable, and whatever else we have. $59.99 on BD which is damn worth it. No more multiple disc. Easier HDD access. No warrenty voids on swapping hdd.

most of all? dicated fanbase that remember what ps3 brought. For those who remembered, the earlier model didn't come with hdmi and M$ is shafting users by avoiding 3rd party accessories whilein, Sony allow 3rd party accessories while at the same time, allow us to change the XMB AND allow us to have chat up to 6 people on one webcam.

then, there is the small detail that there has to be no sacrifice in graphic, gameplay, and/or replay.

think about it...The price is high, but you alway get what you pay for. For me? I have a BD Player, game player, standard dvd player, music player, ATRAC codec, AND photo arrangers. What this mean? it a multiple enterinmate systems. And for all those losers out there...Ps3 and psp can be paired and used together for ps1 games...And for even more losers...There is a product made by Sony call LocationFree Base Station that allow you to directly pair up your Sony Bravia, Ps3, and PSP with your pc wireless. Think of it like a wifi source, but for media share only. How cool is that?
