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.
In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future and it has 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
-Free online service
-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, 128 VS 128)
-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. 120GB for $150? With the PS3, you can upgrade to 500GB for $110!
-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")
-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 12th!
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! 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 the same, if not better on the PS3. 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.
Xbox Live VS PSN? The only thing you are missing is cross voice chat, which can easily be solved by using a telephone, or even in PSN’s V3.00 update, which we will be seeing soon enough.
The PS3 has sold 21 million units in 2 years. The Xbox 360 has sold 28 million in 3 years. Plus a 33% failure rate, that means that 9.24 million units are either refurbished ones or replacements. So really, the amount of one-time buyers is about 19 million. So really, the PS3 has sold 21 million in 2 years, while the Xbox 360 has sold 19 in 3 years, and the PS3 has a higher face value ($199.99 vs. $399.99)
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!

360
-larger online community

-30% defective rate after opened from box (yes, 30!)
-breaks down and creates the ring of death (scoaring of the discs until they arent readable)
-amazing graphics
-great selection of games
-has HD DVD player (which is obsolete and useless because they only make Blu Ray DVDs, not HD DVDs.)
Dont waste your time with an xbox they will just break. i have owned both for a long time and the PS3 is by far the better choice. so its 100 dollars more...big deal. you get a larger hard drive and an amazing blu ray player. dont listen to bias people. you will get xbox lovers saying how the ps3 is junk. they are beyond ignorant. they are both amazing but the ps3 triumphs
If you like Gears of War get:
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Metal Gear Solid 4
Warhawk
If you like Halo get:
Resistance 2
Fall of Man
Killzone 2
If you like Banjo Kazooie:
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
If you like racing games:
Grand Turismo 5
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Thats just to name a few.
The best online games are:
Resistance 2 (up to 60 players in one match)
Warhawk (up to 32 players in one match)
Killzone 2 (32 players in one match)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (16 per match)
The whole thing about Xbox Live being better than PSN is a lie, how is it so much better if Gears of War can only support 8 players in one match and it has lag, when Resistance 2 has 60 players in a match and no lag.
Unlike Xbox Live Playstation Network is free and it comes with just as many features as Xbox Live. The quality is just as good.
I'm not sure what you mean by online menu but the Ps3 has the XMB menu bar which is similar to the PSP's menu. The Playstation Store is like the Xbox Marketplace you can download classic Playstation One games, demos, game add-ons, game videos, movie trailers, you can download whole movies to the PS3 from the Playstation Store.
Basically everything the Xbox does the PS3 does better.

Also the amazing Motorstorm Pacific Rift!
PS3's now have upto 160GB storage! Lighter wireless controlers, ps3 has more presice graphics and an amazing smooth style!
PS3's were made for fun, amazing graphic gaming! Thats why the ps3 has Blu-ray 80GB discs but the 360 only has miniscule 8GB HD DVD discs.
COME ON PS3!! WE HAVE PSN!!
My PSN by the way- OLOH1
the only exception is little big planet and killzone 2 but killzone 2 is really not as good as halo 3 and resistance 2 is crap and metal gear is a good game but it gets boring after getting done with it
the only reason to get the ps3 would be if you want a blu ray player and the only game that looks really awesome is god of war 3 which would be probably the game of the year but is still not out
both consoles are great but the 360 has better games
xbox(pros): wide variety of games, great online play, a lot of downloadble content, big hit games like halo and gears
xbox(cons): membership fee for online play, overheating
Ps3(pros): better graphics, hit games like metal gear solid and killzone, blue ray player, free online play
Ps3(cons): more expensive, small variety of games and library, less enjoyable online play
So there it is, if you want an entertainment console with blue ray but at much more expensive price and less games to play. ps3
If you want a more enjoyable online experince and want to have a wide variety of games but worry about overheating and the yearly price of online membership. xbox 360
I got an xbox 360
Online is lag free & there are millions of users.
There are hundreds of games & very good games PS3 has the best exclusives.
The graphics are far superior to the 360 & way more reliable.
The average gamer on 360 is 12-17 & all mouthy rascists on PS3 the average user is 20-30 & all friendly So if you want to hear abuse stick with the 360, if you want to speak to gamers without the abuse buy a PS3.
PS3 won best console of 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZWilIijn...
And with this years exclusives over 50 is sure to win 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utaXLOCQs...
You can download demos for FREE & buy movies & games from the psn store.
You can upgrade the hard drive with any sata 2.5" laptop drive to 750gb
unlike the 360 it has to be microsoft with a max 160gb.
Killzone 2 wipes the floor with halo & gears of war & now PS3 is showing it's full power 360 will never be able to match them in the graphics department,plus games will be made for the PS3 & ported to the 360.
360 uses dvd's 8gb in size PS3 uses bluray 54gb in size meaning bigger & better games they have also made a 400gb bluray dvd which will come to the PS3 later next year think of the games that will be on that! plus grand theft auto 4 for 360 had alot of content missing due to the small disc size it didn't even fill the bluray.
360 is slowly dying,PS3 is the future.
My advice to you would to be sell the 360 before it get's the red ring of death as they all do.
ps. Weird as it is I got 360 when it first came out and still works just as good as day I bought it. So dont give the ring of death bs.
I think u should trade it. I own both and love both of them . I used to play my 360 more than my ps3 becuz i got my ps3 this christmas and dnt have much games but i preordered killzone 2 and got the demo. ITS THE BEST SHOOTER EVER . the gameplay feels extremely real and u feel like u are actually in the warfield with ur assault rifle. the graphics ae awesome and the atmosphere is great . multiplayer is considered as the king of online games. killzone 2 reviews are awesome with 95% on metacritic and 94 on gamerankings. I have cod 4, halo3 , gta4 on 360 and many more on 360 as i got it 2 years ago. on my ps3 i got cod4, gta4, and metal gear solid 4. honestly ,ps3 versions are better becuz of no lag and better online function. i dnt buy any more 360 games cuz im thinking of selling it and getting an itouch . i thought about it and decided to keep ps3 my game system. on game websites, they are saying ps3 is the future console. I also heard that sequels of great games like gran turismo , uncharted, and god of war are coming out. For me xbox 360 kinda feels old becuz of its games. ps3 is getting games that can only be run on ps3 . i heard gta5 gonna be a ps3 exclusive .
if you talk about online , they feel the same , but 360 live times out and this never happened on my ps3. there is a great playstatin store with great games , demos , themes , add ons, . there is also a video store where you can buy, rent or sell blu ray, or dvd movies. the selection is pretty cool.
SO i conclude by saying , yea trade it for ps3 cuz PS3 is the future console with games like killzone2 , and god of war 3
I had a 360 and then 4 months later had a red ring of death and since then my ps3 that i bought has worked like a charm
it has some games exclusively for playstation where as some xbox games are not on the ps3
i personally like the 360
xbox for fun
Better games.

SIncerely, me!
P.S It's time to say goodbye.
