xBox 360 .v. PS3

Well i'm getting a PS3 for xmas, and i just wondered what everyone thought was better

in my eyes its obviously ps3

blu ray
higher def
built in hard drive - 20,40,60gb - xbox360 big chunky top thing
smaller power cable
better quality
non-battery controllers - 15mins to charge for 30hour use
faster more ghz
silent fan

and much more, i think the xbox is shabby, looks shabby, overheats, unreliable

i could go on..

360 is better for online. If online soesn't bother you much then go for whichever you fancy.

fair enough, but all you're gonna get is fanboys saying their console is better lol. i'm not a fanboy i just prefer the 360 to ps3.

yes, i am going off specifications, demo vids, and the occasional play on consoles in tesco before we get chucked out by the security for being on them too long 8-)

I just dont wanna get stuck with a console i'll regret

smaller power cable - knitpicking
better quality - *** kind of comment is that, that's an opinion
non-battery controllers - 15mins to charge for 30hour use - dnno if thats actually true.
faster more ghz - so cell is good? 360 does exactly the same thing.
silent fan - xbox is quiet when playing off the harddrive

and much more, i think the xbox is shabby, looks shabby, overheats, unreliable - more proof you're an idiot.

i could go on..

and in other words, you're just a sony fanboy, now piss off.

xbox has better online and the harddrive is on the outside so that you just take it off in seconds and take it to your friends house or anything.

well the specs are good, but i havent had the playing long-term experience and feeling of the consoles like some people might have

PS3 is better than 360.
Not a fanboy either as I own both consoles.

xbox 360

far better for price n if you wna charge up your controller get some rechargables or a plug n play kit!!!

xbox 360 also has a better CPU which means its quiter to the ones you're friends play probs (i think cpu makes it quiter)

hardrive well if you didnt have a hardrive your xbox would look ugly.

xbox 360 supports up to 1080i i think.

I definitely prefer the 360, but that could just be because of my love of halo online.

Blu Ray - Probably the only thing it's got on the xbox360
Higher Def - Only if you hook it up to a 60'' TV with HDMI cables it will be crisper, doubt it now with being able to burn your discs on 360.
Built-in HDD - It doesnt look bulky + 360 has bigger HDD sizes ;)
Smaller Power Cable - 360's power brick is to prevent power surges.
Better Quality - What do you mean?
Non-Battery Controllers - Play & Charge kit, Wired controllers.
More Faster GHZ - Whats this meant to do with the games?
Silent Fan - Burn games to HDD, silent as a predator.

The Xbox360 has far more on the PS3, It has a better online service for one, it has far better exclusives and a far better online community and interface.

If im honest, you should be kicked off this forum just for making this thread, its down to personal opinion, no one can make the choice for you.

The xbox is better for online ect, but i prefer using the PS3 for the playback of movies off my ipod ect, they both have there ups and downs, but the 360 is much cheaper than the ps3

Erm, i do?

The PS3 has a HD Output of 1080p and the Xbox 360 only has 720p i think.

Its got to be 360 for online but the PS3 has this nice feature instead of getting achievements on 360 on PS3 you get trophy's and then you earn points to make you own online house. I quite like that. :)

Well, you said "And the PS3 goes up to 1080i the 360 dosent". The 360 does go up to 1080i although 1080p is, in theory, better.

Xbox 360 is better, I've never had RRoD so what are you on about overheating? RRoD is caused by hardware failure, obviously Xbox 360 isn't £500 odd on the market so they can't fit all crap that a PS3 has fitted.

Erm £129,99 according to the advert just on tv, and again it dosent matter, i wont be buying it, my parents will

Not meaning to be a spoiled brat, but just saying that my mum is happy for me to get the ps3 for a main present, so price isnt an issue.
