Xbox 360: It's so far the top system "for now". The 360 has more games then any of the systems and the Xbox Live is the best of online. 360 can play DVDs, and multi-media. It has USB ports. While you play your game you can also listen to music. You can check other live accounts. Play games that they made( in a game. like Halo3- the forge) Thus the 360 stands out as the top system but here are the bad things.
The Xbox 360 is not reliable. It has a 33% of a hardware failure. So be ready for a Red Ring of Death. When you enter a store you will problably get one of these systems with a hardware failure. You would be worried to get the 360 from a store. And if your 360 does get the Red Ring of Death, you can send it to Microsoft and they'll repair it for free. "Oh Yea" no problem. YES PROBLEM. Your 360 may be out for weeks or even months before it can be returned. Also whats with the lack of HD-DVD. PS3 has blu-ray. Plus the 360 is out-dated. It came like when, 3 years ago. And whats up with the over-heating. It was so hot I felt like to turn it off or something bad would happen. Also it tends to be loud. Plus, whats up with buying all these accessories. In all it would then cost over $500 just to play online and watch HD-DVD movies, and to get a fan with it. Thats the cons. Now lets talk about the PS3.
PS3: PS3 is a nice next-generation system. It supports regular DVD and Blu-ray. It has a wireless controller like the 360, but its more lighter than the 360. It may be pretty heavy but than if you actually drop it it would still work. It looks nice. The games are awesome and this year the PS3 will beat 360's games. They are getting like 15 exclusives. And also in on June 12th, the PS3 will be bundled with an 80 gb PS3, a Dualshock 3 controller, and a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4. So many good titles and titles we the people know. Oh and if your a Jak and Daxter fan, did you know that naughty dog is making a new Jak and Daxter game. I know it will come for PS3. Plus, this month Playstation Home comes out, a virtual place where friends and other users can talk, hang out, watch trailers, play demos, and much more. Your own character can look exactly like you. PS3 has free internet access, unlike the 360. It doesnt need any accessories to buy. It can do multi-media also like the 360. I really think the PS3 has better graphics than the 360. You can also use your PSP to control it. Oh and the failure rate for the PS3 is 0.2%. Now about the cons.
While this system is the pure choice, its not the choice for gamers yet . Developers needed time to get used to the system using its high tech power. Thats why the PS3 has less games. It'll get games as much as the 360 soon. Another thing is that the 40 gb which is the cheapest one doesnt have backwards compatibility. What gives? Shouldn't every system have this? The Playstation Network is not as great as Xbox Live, but I bet when Home comes out it'll get better. I think its also a little expensive, but not that much. Both systems should have been $50 less. There are not as many cons as the 360, and the reason was because the PS3 was developed carefully and smart. They even built a fan inside the system itself. Sony's getting good.
Well thats what I had. Thats all I know. Must of the exclusive games coming for the Xbox 360 (other than Gears of War 2) will be on the PS3. Thats funny. But then does that even mean there exclusive. I dont know but if there not hehehe. Microsoft you have a lot of work to do. If I had to pick which of these systems to get I would pick the Playstation 3 mainly because of the high tech power of it, and the games that are coming out. Oh wait. Thats everything then. Well if you do want a 360 get it, but be careful, and I dont know if this is true but what if Microsoft is creating another system. I mean it has been out for a long time. I also read that the PS3 will be out for another 7-10 years. I hope im not trying to persuade you. I just wanna answer the question. Both of them are good. It's your choice, not mine.
Anyway, if anyone tells you one of these consoles sucks, then ignore the reply because, both are GREAT consoles.
And don't listen to the fanboys (especially those with LONG lists of reasons or those who think specs shows which is better , since they will try to convince you that the 360 or PS3 is better or worse, often by using lies, exaggeration and uninformed opinions to support their personal views.
Both the 360 and PS3 have their advantages and disadvantages and are of similar power (as confirmed by devs who create games for both consoles, and from multi-format games), with the PS3 potentially having a slight edge overall, especially for exclusive games.

I got these games coming out this year in wikipedia, but PS3 does have more games this year and next. Dont think I was on PS3 side. Last year 360 had more. This year all developers spent at least 3 years making titles and decided to all release it this year.
So what's my verdict on which console you should buy?
BUY A CONSOLE BASED UPON THE GAMES YOU WANT TO PLAY, not based upon what certain people say or think. That's the most important thing. So see what's on offer for the PS3, see what's on offer for the 360, both exclusive and multi-format games, and make up your mind based upon the console that has the games which appeals to YOU the most.
Also, if you can, find a friend who is a fan of the PS3 and another who is a fan of the 360, and let them 'sell' the console to you, hopefully by showing you some of the best games available and allowing you to play them. And once again, don't allow them to make up your mind for you.... do it yourself based upon what you've seen and experienced.
Good luck on your choice, but you'll be happy with either console.
Follow this link because I asked this same question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
If you get a PS3 add me. My PSN: WaffleAlMan77
Also think about have you played Ratchet and Clank, Metal Gear Solid, Jak and Daxter, God of War , Kingdom Hearts, and others. If you have followed the series you may want a PS3. And think if you have followed the Halo series, or any other game on xbox.
But the PS3 exclusive MAG is really interesting. You know why because even though its online only it will hold 256 players simultaneosly. Thats the biggest ever. No game has ever down that. If this game is great there will be no reason not to get a PS3. So in a way try to get both.
Alright Peace
well you are gonna get a lot of answers saying that the PS3 is better, i"d say right now the PS3 is doing a better job with new games and getting better online downloadable games and the PS3 is a better overall system having a 10 year lifespan while the xbox 360 usually breaks in 3 years
but Id say that xbox 360 has the best online play,
when it comes to games Id say they are even, the 360 has halo 3, mass effect, and Gears of war
while the PS3 has warhawk, Resistance and Metal Gear Solid 4
So Id say that rite now the xbox is really good because its cheaper then the PS3, and i was dissapointed how sony took out backwards compatability!
Here we go, based on my experience, I recommend you the PS3
Why? Well here’s why…
- Sony had 2 successful consoles that sold over 200 million combined, so they have the best experience with gaming consoles
- To these people who say that Xbox 360 has better games, that’s no longer true… Since 2007 PS3 had AAA titles that were released. Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc.
- Xbox 360 was released in 2005, and its potential has been maxed out in 2006, a year later from launch, with Gears of War- here is what GeOW looks like (http://guides.gamepressure.com/gearsofwa... no games will look better than this game. This picture shows how maxed out xbox 360- (http://i27.tinypic.com/vgiepu.png) - note: Gears 1 came out in 2006 and Gears 2 is coming out November 2008 and yet both games look virtually identical
- PS3 was released in 2006, and its potential is nowhere near its full potential. Look at Metal Gear Solid 4-
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2368... looks so much more realistic than GeOW right? This game surely pushed the PS3 potential higher but not completely meaning new games will look better than MGS4!!!
- PS3 supports FULL 1080p resolution. Xbox 360 can’t display 1080p but it can upscale to 1080p but you can see a big difference between true 1080p(PS3) and upscaled 1080p(xbox 360) Also another thing, PS3 supports HDMI 1.3 which has richer colors and better quality while xbox 360 supports HDMI 1.2 which is outdated HDMI…
- With PS3, you are not getting just a gaming console, you are also getting a Blu-Ray drive. Blu-ray is the next-gen DVD. Xbox had a HD-DVD drive add-on for $200 but now HD-DVD is dead because people chose Blu-Ray as their Hi-Def format.
- PS3 games are produced on Blu-ray Disc. There are different capacities for Blu-ray- 25gb and 50gb. However they are coming out with 100gb discs and it will be fully compatible with PS3’s Blu-Ray drive. With the huge storage, developers can add more content, better graphics, and make a longer game. Xbox 360 uses DVD-9 which only holds 9gb. Developers are starting to complain that DVD is not big enough for games.
- Both systems offer online game however you have to pay $50 to subscribe for Xbox Live while Playstation Network offers the same exact features for free. XBL uses P2P- here is how P2P works(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... so if someone has a bad connection, then the whole game will be laggy. Basically you are paying $50 for your own bandwidth. PSN has dedicated servers(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... so if one has a bad connection, it will not affect the game at all. Again PSN is free.
- Xbox 360 has a reported 33% chance of breaking down… PS3 reported to have .01% chance of breaking down. This might have an impact on your decision…
xbox 360 pricing to match ps3's features:
$349/$449- console
$50- XBL subscription(only for 1 YEAR) pay $50 every year
$100- wi-fi adaptor
$200- HD-DVD drive add-on
$20- rechargeable battery kit
all comes out to $720/$820- add $50 each year you subscribe for XBL
ps3 features:
$399/$499- console
spiderman 3 blu-ray movie/MGS4
online- free
rechargeable battery- built in the controller
wi-fi built in
blu-ray player(better than HD-DVD) built in
all comes out to $399/$499, oh my,look at that, its the same price as before
If you look at this, every person who says xbox 360 is the way to go, they never have support for their answer like some other people do with PS3. That’s simply because there are no benefits to have a xbox 360
I think this is enough for you to know but if you want to know then feel free to email me at yankeefan9874@yahoo.com for more reasons
This question gets asked way too much...
PlayStation 3 can play Blu-Ray Disc.
Xbox 360 has good old Xbox LIVE.
