Is Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 better?

Question

I don't have an HDTV and don't plan on getting one. I want to know which is better in terms of gameplay and good shooter/fighting games. I'm also planning to use the system as my dvd player in my room. Please write no more than a paragraph.

Answer 1

Short and simply put:

For gaming it matters what ratings you like T=PS3 M=Xbox360

PS3 is better for movies, but Xbox is still good.

1st person shooters are better on Xbox360, and RPGs are better on PS3

Hope that helps

Answer 2

You're opening a whole can of worms with this one!

The 360 has a great catalogue of games (Halo, Mass effect, live arcade) with an outstanding community and excellent online support for a monthly fee. It also has some great games coming out in the future (Fable II, Fallout 3 etc.)

Playstation 3 has a weak number of killer apps and a poor community feel but is free to play online and also has the new HOME patch coming out sometime soon. Sony also promises there will be a good game for it.....in the future.

Answer 10

Xbox 360 they constantly update live, great online no lag 50 bucks a month but thats good.  PS3 online is free and it has terrible conneton/lag

360 has Halo 3, Fable 3, GOW 2 and so much more.

Answer 11

Honestly I own both systems and I think they're both great systems. I prefer the 360 because of it's in-depth options via marketplace and Live but at times it can be a bit laggy and 50 bucks is a bit much.

The PS3 on the other hand is a more powerful system hardware wise but has a fairly small game system. But the PS3 has Blu-Ray and a web browser which is great in my opinion.

Game wise the fall line up looks magnificent for reach system. 360 has Gears of War 2

PS3 has Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet.

Both systems offer games that can be played competitively (Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament 3, and so on.

But in the end it's just your opinion in what you want.

Answer 12

I have the XBOX 360

I think it has better games like Mass Effect

Answer 13

in my opinion, ps3 is better, but 360 also has some great games.

Answer 14

Playstation 3, easy.

PS3 has more exclusives coming to it than the 360 does, it's free month to month online- and, as much as all these 360 tards want you to believe it, Playstation Network is every bit as good as Xbox Live. The lag in the game depends entirely on your connection and all that jazz. And it's free. The console itself is a little bit more expensive, but it does more- internet browser, upscales DVDs to high-defenition (and even on an SD TV, it makes 'em look better.) Shooters: Resistance series, Killzone 2, MGS4 (though that's more stealth action than anything), to name three, and for fighting, you've got Tekken, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter- pretty much everything the 360 has + Tekken.

In the end, the PS3 gives you a LOT more for your money. Easily worth the $50 extra. Also, the 360, if you buy Live yearly, you'll have spent more money on your 360 than you will on your PS3 in one-two years, depending on which model you buy.
