Here is some advice: PUT THIS IN THE VIDEO AND ONLINE GAMES SECTION, because if you ask this in the Playstation section, people are obviously going to say PS3.



Why you should get a PS3 and NOT a Xbox 360 or Wii



The expected lifetimes of current home video game consoles:



Xbox 360--2005-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it

Wii-2006-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it

Playstation 3-2015 (Sony said they made it to last 10 years, so 2006+10 years=2016, round it down just to be safe), you'll get 7 years out of it.



The PS3 is the obvious choice here. In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future, it will have over-the-top graphical capabilities (google “Heavy Rain”). And to those who say the Xbox 360 is cheaper, well then just look at the following list:



With the PS3, you get:

-A Blu-Ray player, which if you wanted one of equal value would blow at least a $700 hole in your wallet, plus a mean DVD-upconverter

-Free online service, the Playstation Network, which is only a few steps behind Xbox Live these days

-An ever-growing list of exclusives, like Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Metal Gear Solid 4 and in the future: inFamous, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.—in which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time)

-More flexible in terms of hardware, e.g. swappable HDD, USB mini cable, etc.

-Built in, superior Wi-Fi

-Web browser

-A super sleek system complete with chrome trim and a slot loading disc drive

-HDMI 1.3, Xbox 360 only has HDMI 1.2 (major difference despite only a 0.1 difference)



With the Xbox 360, you get:

-DVD Player/upconverter

-Xbox live, which is $50/year, and not even worth it

-Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 (that’s a lot of exclusives compared to the PS3, if you ask me: P)

-Umm…can’t really say anything about non-proprietaryness, because Microsoft inflates the prices for their accessories.

-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")s

-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 11th!



So here’s a quick run-down of what you must buy with the PS3 and 360:



PS3:

Console $400

Game $60

Controller $55

Charger $2-10--any USB mini cable will do

Total: $517 ($2 USB mini cable)



Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money (gaming console+computer+SUPERB Blu Ray player)



Xbox 360:

Console $300

Game $60

Controller $60

Play and Charge kit x2 $60 (for 2 controllers)

Xbox Live $60

Wi-Fi $100

Total: $640



That’s not cheaper, so get a grip on it! Sony said that they made the PS3 to last a decade. The multi-platform games are using about 25% of the PS3's graphical potential. So there's lots of wiggle room in the future for much more brighter, detailed and massive environments.



On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360’s potential. And they look about the same. At this rate in 1 year, the PS3 will have outshone the 360 graphic wise. It’s just that the 8-core Cell Broadband Processor is very complex, and takes developers time to get used to. And they are getting the hang of things. The PS3 has a very good reliability rate: only 0.2% failure rate (note the decimal), while Xbox 360's have a 30% failure rate. So, for every 1000 of both consoles produced, 2 PS3's are defective, whilst about 330 Xbox 360's are defective. The numbers speak for themselves. Many game developers have OPENLY stated that in the near future, and right now, they will use the PS3 as a lead-developing platform, and then they will port the games to the 360.



Also, many Xbox fanboys will say "Sure, LIVE is 50 bucks a year, but you get what you pay for." Isn't this like a Sony fanboy saying "Sure, PS3 is a 100 bucks more, but that is *pretty much* all you pay for, other than games?"



So in conclusion, the PS3 is better—you get the most bang for your buck, and it's an incredibly advanced all-in-one home media center hub. You can even install Linux or Windows XP and use it as a computer-legally! While with the Xbox 360, Microsoft will ban your 360 from certain things, if you install the OS at all (just try to bypass the security).



Hope this helps!

Joke:

Q: Why do they call it a "360"?



A: It really does a 360:



1) You get it

2) It breaks down

3) You ship it to Microsoft

4) Wait 3-4 weeks

5) Be happy, and start again from step 1.

I'm not going to tell you to get a PS3 over the Box. I will tell you this: The PS3 is more powerful than the Box, but that doesn't matter when developers are not using either to their full potential. The PS3 costs more, but once you buy everything on the Box that the PS3 comes with built in, you will end up paying more for the Box. That is the reason the PS3 costs more, it comes with more straight out of the box. Micro$oft is a computer company, so their online is better than the PS3 and is more interactive.



Basically, most games come on both systems, so the thing that is going to determine which system you want to buy depends on the games you want to play. Which exclusive games do you want to play. If you want to play Halo, get the Box. If you want to play Metal Gear Solid 4, get the PS3. Only you can make this determination. If you don't care about the exclusive games, than base your decision on what exactly do you need (do you need a Blu-ray player?) and what can you afford (can you pay a little more now to get free online with the Ps3? Are you okay with paying a monthly online charge with the Box?).

I have both a PS3 and an Xbox and personally I play the Xbox way more. I love it because I can plug any device into it like my zune and it will play it during the game. I love it because it has amazing games like Gears of War, Dead Space, Bioshock, Mirrors Edge and Call of Duty. If you have an HD tv you'd probably want to go with the PS3 because of blu ray and games like Resistance and Uncharted.

It really comes down to the games you want to play. Both are pretty similar when it comes to graphics. A lot of games are on both platforms but your decision should be based on looking at what games are exclusive to each console and choosing what you would prefer.



EDIT: Sorry I forgot, price is a factor too. PS3 is more expensive but I hear there will be a price drop soon.

I Have Both.. PS3 OWNZZ.. the XBOX is overate. i had mine for 3 weeks and 3 red lights come on indicating it was broke :S there is no warranty for this so if i wanted it fixed i would have to pay £120 :@ PS3 all the way,, it also has free internet and a web browser.. You have to pay for the internet on the xbox and you dont even get a web browser on it ^o).

Xbox 360:

-Internet for money

-Not a lot of space

-Cant download full games only demos

-remote is complicated in every game

-No one is buying it anymore because it is losing buisness

-Because u can make copies of the games which is illegal

Playstation 3:

-Get on internet free

-Download full free games

-Remote is light-weighted and easy to use

-it is making a lot of maney because of it's specialties

-It works only on blueray games which are impossible to copy even if u try



SO UNDER ALL THESE CIRRCUMSTANCES I WOULD SUGGEST THE PS3 cause U CAN DO MORE WITH IT !!!!!!!!!

GET IT?????????????



WELCOME :)

Do you know on the xbox, the xbox live yes you have to pay for that but on the ps3 theres asimilar thing free

I have had both and i have to say from a gamepplay point of view there is no difference.



However from an online point of view - xbox online is much better

Playstation 3 !



Xbox is dieing slowly as blueray is taking over, Free Online, Built in wireless, More USB ports.
