Xbox360 or PS3

[The Lex]

Which one rules.

[PsyGrunge]

This question need not be asked.
Playstation 3 excells in graphics (maybe), but that is it.
It loses on all other fronts.

[Hobes]

at fist when i saw the pole i was freaken out but then i noticed only 2 ppl voted

[Wildlicencse]

i wnet for the 360 only because i have one and i havnt tried a ps3 yet.... i dont make judgements on stsats i like to try it out then decide, jus like i bought a wii ohh what a mistake its shit unless you got 2+ friends with you!

[broony]

Playstation has much ownage over microsoft.

[*Andy*]

I havent played either, but I'll vote for PS3 as it is newer and costs more.

[PsyGrunge]

You'd vote for something coz it costs more! What!?

[hotbanana]

Id say PS3 on graphics n "tenchnical" stuff but 360 on gameplay. I havnt actually played the PS3 but the gameplay for the 360 is gana be hard to beat!!

[fountains of nay]

PS3! I've always hated the Xbox.

[KParker730]

if oblivion comes out on playstation 3, then definitely ps3!

[PsyGrunge]

I'll buy both of the motherfuckers just to get the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS; something that's missed greatly amongst self-proclaimed 'gamers'.

[ItzJessI3itch]

Personally I've only played the xbox 360... both are good from what I have seen.. but really the ps3 is a better value... the xbox it's self it cheaper... but after you buy all the things that ps3 comes with you would really end up paying more. it really comes down to what games will be on what console... and since bother are still rather new it's hard to decide... right now I really love the 360 and if the ps3 is even a little bit better that's awesome.

[Duck]

360 is far better than the PS3
but the Wii owns all

both of those two are generic and boring, but 360 has far better games

[Asmodean]

Don't we still have to wait to see what for games ps3 brings?

[Duck]

Don't we still have to wait to see what for games ps3 brings?Microsoft has so many great exclusives already, I don't see how ps3 has any chance of meeting the 360's game library

metal gear solid SUCKS

even if it didn't, how is one game gonna compete with 360's full library of greatness??

i disagree. i now think both the consoles are great, but i love the playstation, which is why i will get ps3. the games on it i like more than 360.


you may think mgs is shit but i love it, which is what matters to me really. just wait a year or so, untill the ps3 goes full speed, it will be getting exclusives back and the graphics and all will own. id love wii to join with ps3 = ps wii :D . that would totally kill. i would have got a wii by now, but the graphics are pretty much last gen, the gameplay is 10/10 though :)

[Asmodean]

I'm waiting for the Red dead revolver sequel. I loved that game. But those exclusive games aren't always so exclusive. Ninja gaiden is getting remade for the ps3, while the original was exclusive for Xbox. I'm not sure yet.

nowadays the word exclusive doesnt mean shit. multiplatforms are going exclusive, yet exclusives are going multiplatform. u want the best deal, get both
if i could i would, but ps3 is expesive enough, but i now it means business :D

[polecat]

ps3 is sick with graphics and just about everything else. But playstation controllers are so awkward compared to x-box. They are hard to hold and shitty in everyway. the controllers really bother me.

[The_Walrus]

They both rule, but I'm more of an X-box 360 person.

[snoopdoggg]

Microsoft has so many great exclusives already, I don't see how ps3 has any chance of meeting the 360's game librarygee, maybe in the TEN YEARS before the next gen consoles come out, both consoles will actually have great exclusives? but im just guessing on that one, considering thats how its been with every system let alone the predecessor of each of the two consoles in discussion.

[deadheaven]

PS3 has better graphics is an entirely false statement. Both systems are pretty even as far graphics go and actually if you compare games that are on both the 360 and PS3, the 360 has better shading a more vivid colors. The PS3's cell processor does give the ps3 the ability to have more on the screen at once with smoother framerates and also able to perform more complicated functions (computer AI, physics...etc.) than what the 360 can do. The problem is developer's have been pretty lazy as far as tapping that baby's full potential and feel that is too complicated to work with (Spiderman 3 on PS3 has slower frame rates than the 360 version wtf? it really shouldn't be like that lol). 360 also is much better for gamers that like to play online with friends and whatnot. Ps3 has no single network established for its system leaving it up to the developer and yes its free unlike xbox live but in the end you get what you pay for. I say the biggest selling point of the PS3 right now is that it's an inexpensive blue ray dvd player that can play some OK games or ones that have already been released months earlier on the 360. I hope PS3 gets its arse in gear next year because I'd love a reason to buy one beside it being a cheap blue ray player lol. But for now it your a true gamer who enjoys online competition and such and wants to be hit with some solid titles month after month I'd stick with the 360.

W-W-W-W-W-WIIUNIT!

if u aint down with the wii, u aint down with Mii

[ps3illinoisdude]

PS3 totally kills xbox360. i have both, but i only play the PS3 because i disconnected the 360 after a week of having the PS3.

Some reasons PS3 is better:
1-PS3 is going to have home
2-PS3 is a better value
3-Playstation network is free
4-The sixaxis is tight
5-Can connect with the PSP
6-Blu-ray discs(what PS3's games are on) can hold literally 6 times as much data on them than a dvd(what xbox360's games are on). That means bigger, better, more detailed games on PS3.

these are just 6 things that make PS3 best. there are alot more, i just don't feel like writing them all down. i would go on and on about why PS3 is better, but it would take too long. if you have any questions or comments about the PS3 or PSP, pm me.

btw, half of the people who voted for xbox360 havn't even used a PS3.

[ps3illinoisdude]

and also, give the PS3 some fucking time! the xbox360 has been out longer, so of course it has a better game library.

oh ya, another thing, the PS3 has firmware, unlike the xbox360, which allows for updates to the hardware, games, online network, system interface, etc.

[mr.greenxxx]

W-W-W-W-W-WIIUNIT!

if u aint down with the wii, u aint down with Mii
i give wii credit for originality, and playability. but the graphics are last gen. atm i have to go with PC. but since thats on the choice ps3. 360 good too, id buy both if i could but i want no need mgs 4

"PS3 is going to have home" - whatever that means
"PS3 is better value" - umm..no? how is it a better value? for the price of a 60 gig PS3 you get a whole XBOX 360 PACKAGE, games, controllers, etc.
"PS3 Network is free" As is Xbox, only content is chargable
"PS3 uses blu-ray discs" - Yes...BUT, games do not even go near using the capability, as well very few games are actually in 1080p, which u need a TV that supports it in the first place, as well Xbox360 is HD DVD capable.

PS3 has NO games, u go into a store and it's like half a rack of shit games, the Xbox360 and Wii blow the game lineup out of the water

imo the PS3 MAY eventually become better, but in the console wars currently, it's only Wii and Xbox battling it out for top spot

[digitalldj]

As always people pick apart the graphics...Wii isnt about the graphics, it's about innovation

if u want graphics, like u said, u go with a Comp

[ps3illinoisdude]

im not going to make another long post, but when i say value, i mean that for 200 dollars more, you get alot better hardware. also, about the blu ray discs, there is so much potential in them. you could fit gears of war, halo 1, halo 2, halo 3, and rainbow six all onto 1 blu ray disc. and dude, you don't buy a console for just the now. you keep it and use it for years. so ya, now you might THINK that the 360 is better, but just wait.

btw, the 360 is HD DVD compatible . . . after you buy the 200 dollar HD DVD hook up. and at that point, you could buy the 60 gb PS3 for the same price.

[digitalldj]

who's to say everything doesnt go to HD DVD instead of blu ray?

[ps3illinoisdude]

that would be stupid because a dual layer blu-ray disc (what PS3 games are on) holds 50 gb, while a dual layer hd dvd only holds 30 gb. also a regular dual layer dvd (what xbox 360 games are on) only holds 8.5 gb.

so why would everything go to hd dvd's when blu ray disc's are simply better?

[crummyrummy]

because more thn than one company wants their technology to win
Microsoft does not embrace blu ray

[digitalldj]

Gaming is the last on the priority list for the new disc format...

you actually think ANY ps3 game needs 50gb's?

all you do is include an external engine to run FROM the ps3 on it's hard drive, and for every game for the rest of the PS3's life cycle, u will not need more then 10gig storage, not to mention nearly NO games support 1080p yet, which would be the majority of that extra space on external mediums

as said above, microsoft does not back Blu Ray, nor does LG, Toshiba, and samsung

there is NOTHING that needs that amount of storage, and i dont forsee anythin in the future needing it either, which is why, in a battle of consoles, the Blu Ray argument for PS3 is highly subjective.

[mr.greenxxx]

i think of ps3 like a future proof console. 360 is kl now, ps3 just came out, i reckon in a year ps3 will be alot better.

i future proofed my ram- 4gbs, then i found out xp only uses 2max, so now im waiting for crysis. then getting vista then w/e. fuck i need a 880 gtx

[gratefulvegan]

360

[ps3illinoisdude]

first of all, video games are a major priority.
second, blu-ray is already highly backed by many other brands and studios.
third, any game could use those extra gb for graphics, length, depth, etc.
fourth, samsung has already built a blu-ray player, so how can you say they don't back blu-ray?

[broony]

What? The controllers for all playstation have remaind the same simple use.

[ps3illinoisdude]

The controllers for all playstation have remaind the same simple use.
i agree

[Ghost-in-the-Snow]

Can't vote. Wii pwns all of you. >.< Spent all morning playing Mario Strikers...as I will again tomorrow/today...

EDIT: And if I were to vote, I'd go 360. The games appeal to me more. And I'm an anti-SONY kinda guy...(not all of SONY, just their games department...)

[ps3illinoisdude]

The only thing the Wii is good for is losing a little bit of weight while you play.

[mr.greenxxx]

i dont know, i just think comparing 360 to ps3 is like asda price salmon and real scottish oak smoked one. price < quality

[moonshyne]

yeah, as far as quality goes, you know you gotta hand it to the PS3. That machine could run a small country.

But, I haven't seen any good titles for it (yet)...the PS2 was like that too, at first.

The price is the biggest issue. Broke ass+expensive beast=me settling for 360.

[ps3illinoisdude]

i agree the price is high, but if you want the best gaming hardware out there you pay it (like i did). and btw, they lowered the price on the PS3 by $100. so yay to you who complain about the price.

[steenarina]

im afraid x box is the winner no matter what. ps3 has graphics going for them but few notable titles and the price is just too much for most.

[moonshyne]

i agree the price is high, but if you want the best gaming hardware out there you pay it (like i did). and btw, they lowered the price on the PS3 by $100. so yay to you who complain about the price.
Gaming hardware doesn't mean anything if there aren't any games that I want for it. I want one, oh yes I do, but I'd like to be able to actually use the damn thing, rather than allow it to sit around gathering dust waiting for some decent shit to come out for it.

[Fallout55]

Games make or brake a system, graphics and all that other jazz means nothign if there are no good games.

I'm pumped for GTA4 on 360, with the extra content you can't get on PS3. =p

[Korey]

Fuck PS3. Xbox 360 is far superior!

[lifelovefun]

In a few years the PS3s Blue Ray DvD thing will replace regular DVDs so your really saving yourself a lot of money :)

[Detox]

Playstation 3 You Noobs. Just Becasue 360 Has One Good Game, Gears Of War, Doesnt Make It Supreme Ruler Of The Game Industry. We All Know That Sony Can, And Has, Ran Trane All Over Microsoft.

[subHerban Greens]

I think I'll stick to Playstation so I can play my PS2 games on PS3. I don't see Socom and Metal Gear going to Xbox either, so that's a great reason to stay with Playstation. I don't plan on getting a PS3 any time soon, I'll get one when I'm out of college and not poor (by that time there will be PS4... lol)

[PsyGrunge]

Here ya go everybody. Watch this video on the subject. You will not remain unimpressed....

Pretty good song.

[Thornatos]

Ill Stick with Ps3 till i die :)

[ps3illinoisdude]

most of the people who say xbox 360 is better are stupid poor people who don't even have a ps3 to compare too. wtf???

[pushit]

360 kicks major ass.

[digitalldj]

i now own a PS3 and a wii, so i guess i'm not biased to either :P

[darkain]

As an owner of both, I can honestly say I play 5+ hours of 360 a week, and I have not touched my PS3 in over a month. At the moment the 360 is kick ass, but the PS2 used to be 10x better then the xbox... so I'll give it time.

[darkain]

In a few years the PS3s Blue Ray DvD thing will replace regular DVDs so your really saving yourself a lot of money :)Umm.... A huge no from me. You realise all the major companys are now supporting HD-DVD? Blueray is about as useful as a betamax machine.

I believe that sums it up pretty well.

[Stubb0rnSt0n3r]

Fuck playstation.

Microsoft is bitch, tho trust them to obviously have what it takes to make a console worthy of frontier development and deliverence...
Hopefully tho, they won't keep running that into a shitout scam...

[dacre4]

Xbox..

[mr.greenxxx]

oh man plz i just want people to remember what ive been saying in a few years time. sony will come out on top, and i knew it from the start

[BlazingDervish]

Fanaticism is disturbing in all it's forms. How about we all just go on liking whatever the hell we want to like and keep the corporate ass kissing/flaming to a min from here on in. It's more than a beaten horse at this point...

[mr.greenxxx]

well last thing ill say, MS is good with computers, sony is good with electronics, nintendo is good with children.

i enjoy the first 2, but when companies forget what theyre good @ its abit fucking nuts.

[CSP101]

WII is more entertaining than both

[digitalldj]

^ not really, the Wii is all party games, the only thing I use on it anymore is the Virtual Console

[BlazingDervish]

Everyone I know that bought a Wii, has sold thier Wii to get one of the other platforms. Unless your house is party central, it just doesn't seem worth it.
