The best two gaming consoles available, which one is the best? Will this video change your mind?

Xbox 360.. The features are good, online is immense and the fact we've had in game messaging etc since release is all good 'cos apparently PS3 users need to quit their game to read messages. And we've got some good releases PS3 will never see (Halo 3 etc) heres when people go on about MGS4 but anyway, Xbox 360 is just hardcore for gaming.
Not this again. Everyone will say everything different. I own both consoles and I say the PS3 is the best of the two for its better graphics, nicer looking console, better games in my opinion, and its Blu-Ray exclusivity.
360, PS3 Most games you need update and cant go online, If you want to read somthing or go on internet you need to exit your game.
Ive watched 5 eps of south park on mine thought it was great, Then it goes black cant watch youtube vids any more or anything.
Look, this has been done numerous times, and you're going to get a variety of answers, and probably flamed for whatever you say by either crowd.
I can't vote but I do feel the PS3 is better. I like the 'free online' gaming experience, and I find the XMB easier to use then the Xbox 360's dashboard.
I like the features Playstation offers me, and I like the games that it has.
I do however like the Xbox 360's controller more.
The PS3 has Blueray (which is the format I watch movies on), as well as Bluetooth, a mediacard reader (which I use).
It is basically the "multimedia megaplex" of my home entertainment system.. and it has what I need and use without having multiple systems for each task.
I went from multiple players/consoles to one, the PS3.
Xbox 360..
1. It's cheaper..
2. More used too it..
3. Most of my friends don't have a PS3 (Nor do I)
either really, I dont mind, PS3 is better for media etc... but the xbox live is alot better than PS3 network. Ive only got my xbox online today and its alot better, also like the fact I can play music from my laptop to the xbox while playing a game. Im not voting though as both seem pretty even to me.
oh god. not this again. in before the fanboys =/
ps3 for blue-ray.
xbox 360 for LIVE. although i only have a 360
The Nintendo Wii
The creator of the video was clearly a PS3 fanboy, so theres no point moaning about it.
He sucks.
He obviously doesn't understand anything.
'The PS3 is more than twice as powerfull'.
First of all he spelt powerful wrong. Second of all, for example if you watch Top Gear, you see cars with a higher BHP losing to cars with a lower one. Power - in all cases - means nothing if not applied properly.
Sadly I wouldn't buy a console for a cheap £5 case looking slightly better. I bought it to look at the games - not the box.
Got to 3:50 and cannot bare to watch anymore.
The xbox 360 apparently ruined IV, as they can't hold as much detail. ********, as the 360 disks can hold pretty similar amounts. Granted the size is smaller, but the 360 supports compression. Ultimately meaning it can hold the same amount of data in less space.
This is biased to begin with, the Wii could still be better, personally I find it better than the two so... Yeah...
I voted the PS3, it's got more functionality along side it and is cheaper in the long run. Both have flaws, so the PS3 is not flawless, but I find the PS3 better because of blu-ray, if game companies both utilizing it then it will be excellent, but they haven't. I also use mine to watch blu-ray films which are excellent :P Game wise, which is what is important, I love Drake's Fortune but I can safely say, through opinion and the opinion of some, that GTA IV sucked big time on both consoles. Xbox 360 games don't thrill me, not my type, which is why the Wii is better than both in my opinion. It's built better.
The word "best" is very subjective ;) Personally, I don't own any of them (woe is me) but I can imagine the wii being the most fun out of the three of them, its just a shame most of the games are aimed at the younger demographic.
Indeed, Blu-Ray has been confirmed to be exclusive to PlayStation.Quote:

That video is terrible. So many errors.
Having 8 cores doesn't make the ps3 2.5x better than the 360 with its 3 cores...
Blu-ray DOES NOT read faster than the xbox 360's drive. It reads at 1x! Much slower.
The entire video was just biased.
I own both so I'm not going to be biased, think they're both great.
PS3. I don't have and Xbox 360 but I hear bad things about them, over heating and things :P
Yeah, that's true, but it depends on how constant people go on it, I've had mine since Dec '07 and it's fine, no troubles or anything.Quote:

I prefer the 360 as I like to talk to my opponents when I am playing games.:eusa_whis
You can do that with ps3....Quote:

The PS3 has better graphics but it has issues with things being to dark on some games and fuzziness or some games, the 360 doesn't have that
Blu-ray is the PS3 reads slower than the 360 - This is a reason for the install
But it can hold more
GTA4 isn't smaller because of the 360, GTA4 is smaller because that's how it was going to be from the start
In my opinion his "scores" are completely messed up, he scores the PS3 for so many things that it failed in, he couldn't accept the fact the 360 looks better and runs better so he just says he doesn't know the capacity of the Xenos chip, then gives both a point
Then the feature comparison lol
7 Controllers does the PS3 have a single game that even allows anymore than 4 people on one PS3? o.O That's a great feature you're paying for
If AA batterys are expensive then he needs a job, the problem is if a PS3 controller decides not to charge, it's broken, you need a new one, a 360 controller you can just stick batterys in, who wins there? :rolleyes:
Because wireless range matters? It's not like you live a 76+ foot long house does it?
Six-Axis a very cool feature but all the games that this even worked for didn't run very well because of it, thankfully Motorstorm it's optional
6 USB ports - You pay extra for these too, you can buy a USB adapter in Poundland for less than Sony charge you
Memory card "import" - Wasn't this removed in the 40Gb? The only version currently out in the UK and US? Not to mention I could hook my 360 up to my PC and stream images and videos through it, you don't need to put a card in just connect to your PC, I'd say that's better
Online fee - The PS3 is free, the 360 is £40 a year...You pay £40 and get a decent service, free things tend to be rubbish
Blu-Ray really isn't a huge step up from HD and you still pay way more for that to be added :rolleyes:
Wifi Ready - This is the only non-biased thing he's put in the whole video so far
I'm fairly certain 360 goes higher than 720p HD output
No vibration - Another non-biased comment, I'm surprised
Controller heaviness - I hope he's saying having a heavy controller is a good thing here because in this case, it is
"Backwards compatibility" - The 60gb version has limited backwards compatibility, like the 360 but the 40gb has none at all...Biased again, shame he was on a roll
Loud fan is rather annoying but at least you know it's doing it's job
HD space - Non-biased, that's 4 so far...Not looking good
"No over-heating problems" ok that is funny, everything can over-heat unless you put it in a freezer
External supply makes the console smaller and lighter, unlike the PS3
Games now
I just LOVED this part here
"So as you can see the PS3 can handle more, are more creative, are not 100% war games like the Xbox 360. If you like varity go for PS3"
He picked 3 games from the 360 that happened to be war games and 3 from PS3 that aren't war games, what about MGS, Haze, Resistance?
This guy hasn't been more biased, there are like 240 360 games currently out, way more than 40 more in development
Controllers was funny, the PS3 and 360 controllers are almost exactly the same but the 360 has better shoulders, heavier (which is better imo) and better to hold
That's way more than I'd like to of written but that guy is massivly biased, he is so obviously a fanboy and really shouldn't of bothered because it just makes him look stupid really
and before anyone is like "FANBOY FANBOY", I actually have nothing against the PS3, but when someone decides it's a good idea to be massivly biased about it I'll just see what's true or not, to be honest even the Sony fans should be able to agree with me that he's massivly biased
This man knows his stuff :D.Quote:

/thread.
The 360, ITS WAY BETTER LOLZZZZZZZ
No, the 360 for me as it was the right console at the time.
Yea I think the last dashboard updated it to something like that, I donno as I use a small TV most of the time xD don't really see a point in a huge one lolQuote:

4 Way Private Chat is apprently coming in soon on live.
And the 360 does have many problems, it's all up to the player though.
I got RROD cos I didn't have enough ventilation in my room and it heated up too much - my fault!
lmao at the video the person who made it was either extreamly biased or mentaly ******ed in my opinion i prefer the 360 i prefer the look the exclusive games and all the online content i will admit that i like the ps3 aswell though but the only thing that i could possibly see ALOT better than the 360 is that online is free
(p.s 360 is getting a wii like remote at the end of the year)
360, it's just personal opinion.
36Wii anyone?
4 Way chat would be coolQuote:

Dude, just because you can't go for shooting something without 45 seconds without having a seizure doesn't mean we can't enjoy the Wii, you ps3 fanboy.Quote:

ps3, but i cba to go through the reasons again :P
basically, i think its going to be tops this year. 360 will have nothing over it by 09, but 360 is better at the moment.
i find the 360 better overall , all these fanboys will whine on about the graphics and the processing speed and what not but in fact thats not really that important its the experiance and enjoyability i dont really enjoy my ps3 i resemble it to a hoover but instead of a container it just stays on it , maybe ill get Gt5 when it comes out thats about it really
PS3 had a rocky start but it's really evolving now into the ultimate entertainment system.
You kinda discredited your opinion when you said "fanboys will whine" then say "the games are better," making yourself as bad as them.Quote:

That's more based on fact, because the PS3 does have blu-ray which the Xbox doesn't, so it's an opinion based on fact on why I prefer the PS3 over the 360. Trying to argue against a PS3 fan with comments like "the games are better" is opinionated drivvel and doesn't really prove the Xbox better than the PS3.
Blu-ray is the future, not cheap, but it's the first system to join the revolution
PS3, you can't really say which one is better without getting a load of ******** from each side.
It is really all up to which games you enjoy, which console you enjoy playing them on, and the services that console offers to complete the 'enjoyment' of gaming.
I have both an Xbox 360, and PS3, both of which I got on the release dates.
In my opinion, I like playing my PS3 more then I do my 360. I think that the graphics look better on my PS3, and I like the interface.
I have always grew up with PlayStation, and I like some of the 'exclusive' titles it offers.
It shouldn't matter which one, as Xbox 360 and PS3 fanboys will always be at war, it should be what you enjoy, and how you like to play it, not what some dude on an internet forum says and thinks.
It is your console, your games, enjoy it.
