Xbox 360 or PS3?

[Tomm]

Personally I would buy a PS3 as I am a PS fan not a XBox fan..

1. The PS3 has a 60 GB detachable hard drive that is standard - the Xbox 360 only has 20 GB. Not exactly a huge leap over 10 GB.
2. The PlayStation Network Platform will have all the features of Xbox Live silver, including free online multiplayer.
3. Built-in next-gen media instead of a peripheral.
4. The PS3 has next-gen media. Every generation there is a step up from media - PS1 used CD's while PS2 used DVD's, the PS3 will use BD's and it will turn out to be worth it. The PS3 discs (Blu-ray) can hold 50 GB's of data while the 360's DVD's can only hold 9 GB. Except bigger worlds with the PS3.
5. 90%+ backward compatibility with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games; Xbox 360 has an embarassing 200 game backward compatibility list with many AAA titles not included (such as Chronicles of Riddick).
6. The PS3 has 6 USB ports + a Compact Flash slot + an SD/MMD slot + Bluetooth + 7 controllers at once. The 360 has none of these.
7. The PS3 not only has HDMI output instead of only component video and DVI output, but it can also reach a 1080p resolution. The 360 can only do 1080i.'

1. I'll give it to Sony, a big hard-drive is good. But then again, I haven't filled up my 360's 20GB HDD yet, and who says that a bigger one won't come out in the future?
2. Free online multiplayer is good, but I can't see it being as good. Microsoft is expert in user communities.
3. & 4. There's no solid way to say that either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will be a success; it's just like the old Betamax vs. Video war. Some people are just going to buy PS3's to be a cheap Blu-ray player. I'm not interested in the next gen discs though, all that space isn't needed and I don't have a hi-def TV set to play hi-def movies on.
5. Although it is quite a poor list of games, I didn't buy my 360 to play Xbox games on it. I'm content with 360 titles.
6. I never use more than 2 USB ports, and I can state with certainty that I would never use 7 controllers.
7. I haven't got a hi-def television set. Plus, there's not that much difference between 1080i and 1080p.

So my advice? Make up your own mind

[.:Subarusti:.]

I have a 360, its just astonishing, i recently got a 17" LCD tv (not HD) and used the RGB connectors, the graphics on things like menus were more crips and detailed, and so were the crowds on PGR3, Im not a big fan of the PS3 but in reality ill probably end up getting one, just for F1 07, Gran turismo, and of course GTA. But the revoloution is the one im excited about! :8

do i HAVE to have a hd ready tv to use either of these or can i use it with my standard tv

dunno but ninty said the revo will be great with normal tvs aswell because graphics arent the way forward

[ssricky]

again with these threads stop comparing 360 and ps3 u cant compare cuz ps3 isnt even out yet they dont even have a solid design for it and to let u ps3 lovers know its gunna cost u 2 grand to get one 1000dollars for frame 1000 for external harddrive and controlers -.-"

You can't really compare at the moment. All I can say is that the PS3 has a LOT to live up to.

[Jordan3]

there's just not enough reasoning for me to buy one right now, considering most of the games are shocking beyond belief.

Shocking? DOA4, Perfect Dark Zero, Oblivion, PGR 3, Fifa World Cup, GRAW to name a few. I could hardly even think of calling them average, let alone shocking.

You don't know the PS3 is better then the 360 until you've tried them both. So don't judge by what you read.

Yup. I have both Xbox and PS2, but I dont want to get a PS3 and a 360 because I mainly play my laptop, PS2 or GBASP/DS

I'd say to wait for PS3, 360 looks like the worst of the three systems right now. It'd be worth the wait.
