Thread: X-Box 360 OR PS3???

Ps3 hands down,
Bought one in November 2007
And is just one awsome machine
i belive you can get these in a few differnet sizes also,
80 G or 160 Gig i have the 80
and the games have awsome graphics

I have read a lot of articles online about graphics comparisons of the same games and same exact screenshots and the 360 seemed to show more detail and was commented on for every sight I found this, but one game writer said the 360 has been around longer and has an easier platform to work with than the PS3, that and its still new to the market in that aspect. I remember when the PS2 came out and all I read about in magazines was software guys complaining about how difficult it was to write games for, 8 years later the graphics are a long shot from where they started! I guess I see the same to hold true for the PS3 and why long term is important also. Thanks for your insight! I havent seen the 160 version, just the 30/60 gig from last year and the newer 40/80 gig models

I have a 360 Elite and a 60gb PS3. Both are sweet. I own more games for the 360 for the exact reason you stated. Most multi-platform games look better and run more smoothly on the 360, but I didn't want to miss out on PS3 exclusives like Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, and SOCOM, plus I wanted to get Unreal Tournament early. You can't really tell the difference between PS3 and 360 versions, though, unless you look at them side by side...the Ps3 versions still look great.


If you want a console for movies, too, then definitely go with a PS3. Blu-Ray is better supported and it's built into the machine.

As far as online gameplay goes, the 360 does win that battle. Playstation Network is free, though, so that's a plus if you don't plan on using it a ton. As far as I'm concerned, though, you're missing out on the best part of current-gen consoles if you don't go online. Call of Duty 4, for example...the single player campaign was only 5-6 hours, but you could spend countless hours in the online multiplayer and it's TONS of fun. Online play really extends the replay value.

Either way I've spent way too much money on video games. LOL
