Should I buy a Ps3 system Or an Xbox 360? Please help me decide?

May be...

I would like to get an xbox 360 but am very afraid of those 3 red rings of death. a Friend told me that this only happens in the first released versions of the 360 so that if I should buy a 360 elite I should be fine. Now, I really like the ps3 graphics and the fact the it plays blue ray disc even though I wont really use it much because the movies are so overpriced. Theres not much games out for ps3 right now but Id like to play Haze and resistance fall of man. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND ME? Please compare if you can, thanks in advance.

Get the new 80GB ps3 bundle June 12.



The ps3 has a .02% ffailure rate. The Xbox 360 has a 33% failure rate, I have heard that the newer Xbox 360 have a 11% failure rate, but that is still extremely high.



For the games currently the Xbox has more but not much more. The ps3 will have more either at the end of this year or by the end of 1st quarter next year. since ps3's bluray disks have 50GB of space and the Xbox only has 9GB on each disk, so the games on the ps3 will probably be better and it has greater potential for really good games. The real good games will be Haze, MGS4, Gran Turismo 5, Resistance and as of today, Bioshock.



The ps3 also cost significantly less in the short run, it might be more expensive initially you get free online gaming($50 a year on Xbox, though it does have more features, But wouldn't you rather buy a game), built in wireless Internet($100 extra on Xbox), hard drives are cheaper 120GB for Xbox is $179.99 for the same price you could get a 320GB for the ps3(almost 3 times the memory) a 120GB for ps3 cost less than a 20GB for the Xbox, a wireless controller with a rechargeable battery and charge cable for an Xbox is $69.99 all the ps3 controllers have that and sixaxis for $15 less ($54.99 for dualshock3), the cheapest wireless headset for the ps3 is $19.99 and you can use it with your bluetooth cell phone(its a bluetooth headset) for Xbox its $59.99, and you have almost no choice but to buy everything from Microsoft so you have very little choice on what you can buy for it. Sony lets you get accessories from many different companies even though they need the money more (they lose about $260 per system because they cost more then they sell them for)



For the graphics the Xbox and ps3 are almost exactly the same, for now, the ps3 also looks better on sdtv's, on Xbox you need an HDTV to read the words if you don have an HDTV everything is blurry. For the games currently the Xbox has more but not much more. The ps3 will have more either at the end of this year or by the end of 1st quarter next year. since ps3's bluray disks have 50GB of space and the Xbox only has 9GB on each disk, so the games on the ps3 will be better and it has greater potential for really good games (some multiplatform games have been shorten to fit on the Xbox). Xbox games are not cheaper, they start at $60 just like with the ps3. I wonder why Xbox games are just as expensive as ps3 games, they use last gen technologies and apparently it is easier to make them, it is just Microsoft making a big profit. As far as the future potential of the systems go the Xbox is almost at its full potential right now, about 90% (in games, graphics and really everything else), while the ps3 is only about 10% of its full potential.



The ps3 has tons of free stuff like themes and demos you can download. The ps3 will have all if not more features than Xbox Live by firmware upgrade 3.40

Ps3 is clearly the better choice

360. 3 year warranty will sort out any rrod issue. better games like gears of war(way better than resistance fall of man) with no.2 on its way, halo3, bioshock, Call of duty 4, Mass effect, dead rising, gta4 download content coming only to 360, plus many more. Haze has got poor reviews. if you like those sort of games then 360 is definately your machine. Online is much better too and i have tried both. Plus 360 upscales your dvds so det a really good picture when watching films and don't have to pay the price. you can download HD films via online if neccessary.

reccomend 360..i have one... Never get bored of Call of Duty 4.. with all the people that play online.. da best. Now the 3 rings.. I hade it for about 5 months or so nevr got it. all u need to do is plug the power box out on u wont get it. worth buying. plus all my friends have one too so i will never get bored cuz we play xbox live.

it really does not matter to me. in the end they all have pretty much the same games although ps3 is lacking games right now. but for whats out the games for ps3 are great. get a ps3 in my opinion. but if you want a little bit cheaper system go with xbox 360.

get a ps3 i mean dont every one say it laks games but have u seen what sony is goin to realese later on theres saints row2, killsone 2, and a whole bunch more coming out this year and then next year so go get a ps3

why spend money on an xbox 360 when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you one - at no charge!

trust me dont take any one elses advice get a ps3 fooking class 360 has %33.3 failer rate my friend has both ps3 and xbox 360 n the 360 is in the garage alonre

u should get a ps3 it's better than xbox in many ways and has some awsome games coming up and some already released . go for ps3
