Should I buy a xbox 360 or a PS3?

Question

I have the money for a 360 right now, but I can make more for a PS3. People tell me I should buy the ps3 and others 360. What should I buy thanks.

Answer 1

ps3 is good believe me i now xbox360 is ok  

Answer 2

Don't waste your money on a 360, not only does the PS3 have better games, it's also a Blu-Ray player and the graphics are better. =)

Answer 3

Personally, I prefer the Ps3 (I own both)

You have to pay 50 bucks for 360's online but ps3 has free online and contrary to popular opinion it is not laggy.

Also, it is one of the cheapest Blue-Ray players out right now and has great games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance.

Answer 4

get the $ the xbox 360 it is $299.00 dollars you have alot of games for the xbox 360 $100.00 cheaper than the ps3 for sure  :)ava06

Answer 5

honestly, 360 has the best games overall. The only reason to get a PS3 is for Blu-ray, Resistance: Fall of Man, Metal Gear Solid, and Drakes fortune. (in my humble oppinion) if those aren't important games for you, get the 360

Xbox 360: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/

Pros:

Hardware:

Three different types of 360's to purchase, the 360 Arcade, Pro, or Elite. Their fairly cheap for being a great console, each giving you different choices in price, backwards compatability, and playing in High-Definition. Removeable harddrive, 2 Memory Card slots, 2 USB ports, ethernet port, wireless port, dvd player. Many accessories ranging from wired chargers to new faceplates & HDMI DVD Player. Wired controllers (also work on PC) along with the battery munching wireless controllers. ( Just buy Energizer rechargeables, with the charger, you'll be set for 2 years). Ever since the fall update, the 360 has got itself keyboard support, which really helps out when your IMing, or just signing up for Live.

Software:

A huge list of different games, some exclusives. A giant list of Xbox Originals keeps getting updated for backwards compatability, see this link for the list. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/back...y...

Online Service:

Downloadable Movies, Tv shows, Music Videos, Game videos, and shorts. Downloadable Game Demos, Live Arcade, Xbox Originals, dashboard themes, gamerpictures, Game add-ons, and much more.3 different ways to pay for online, friends list, chat & IM, online tournaments, Gamertag, player reputation, achievements, ability to play music while playing online, or offline. Windows media center compatable, for streaming music/video (if you can't fit it on your harddrive), Xbox Live Vision (camera for playing UNO, Texas hold em' etc...).

Cons:

Hardware:

Everybody knows the failure rate of the 360 at launch due to overheating, freezing etc... it was about I heard in the mid 30's, which a console should be below 5%. You'll never know when yours is ready to kick the bucket. But fortunately, the warrenties were extended for 3 years and repair services seemed to work. Microsoft makes you buy a lot of add on accessories just to keep you gaming, such as the wired charger, great device, but it shouldn't be necessary! The AA batteries should be able to last long enough, instead their gobbled up by your wireless controller. Some idiots try to fix the 360 with towells, which work for a week then your ******. Basically thats just the biggest problem for the 360 but now the hardware failure is A LOT lower than it was. Also, the Live headset that comes with the Pro is worthless, it will break after a month, best thing to do there is get the wireless one, works great, never fails.

Software:

Everybody hates to spend $65.00 on a game, when sometimes the game BLOWS. Fortunately theres a fix to this, and it's called www.gamefly.com , or you could just read reviews on the internet and see for yourself. Ever since "next-gen" graphics the price has been raised but thats what we get if we want beautiful games I guess...

Online Service:

Yes Xbox Live is an excellent service, but why the **** is it $50.00/year?! Well the answere to that is greedy Microsoft, and its just a good service, but it lacks a couple things. 1 It doesn't have an internet browser, 2 M$ gives you tainted updates (Fall, they shouldda really tested it better), 3 ESRB ***** you over if your under 18 for downloading M rated demos, M= 17+, but they want you to turn 18 to play M rated games, which makes no mutherfucking sense at all.

Playstation 3: http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/landin...

Pros:

Hardware: One of its biggest +'s is the slick, black s**y design & chrome trim Sony gave it. A very nice 40/80GB harddrive, plus lets not forget about the(whats the touch power button called), it's one of the newer additions to any next-gen console and its virtually silent without overheating. Unlike the Xbox 360, their controllers DON'T use batteries, they have a USB cable (also many usb ports) that you just charge when your not playing! Some other features include the Playstation 2 compatability(software emulatioin), SACD support, flash card readers, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, a slot-loading 2x speed Blu-ray Disc drive for games, Blu-ray movies, DVDs, CDs, and other optical media, and numerous accessories for the console have been developed for the system, including the wireless Sixaxis controller, the BD Remote, the PlayStation Eye camera and the upcoming PlayTV DVB-T tuner/digital video recorder accessory.

Software: As for games, we all know that the Xbox 360 dominated 06' & 07', but contrary to popular belief, everyone thinks its time for the Playstation 3's comeback to start in 08'. The game list line-up its incredibly impressive (see link for FULL list of games http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/showthread....

Online Service: The number one thing is most definitally is that Playstation Network is FREE. Everyone loves the built-in internet browser, Wi-Fi, and media card readerscheck for browsing the internet and viewing it from your tv! You can also load various Operating Systems such as Lin

Answer 7

depends on what you like.

ps3 dosent have That many excellent games out yet

but when it does, free online. its going to pull ahead of the 360

Answer 8

XBOX360 ALL THE WAY! There are a lot more and better games on the Xbox360 and it is a better price

Answer 9

It's the software, not the hardware you should concentrate on.  The only noticeable difference between the two is the PS3 supports Blu-ray.

Make a list of the games that are exclusive each console (include those that aren't out yet).  Determine which ones you'd rather play and use that as your guide.

Answer 10

360 you can play online  much easier and halo 3 is awesome
