Hands down, unless you want your xbox360 broken within 10 seconds of purchase. ;)
the PS3 is a sleek machine that gives you more bang for your buck than he 360, BUT, if you love halo, ten the PS3 isnt going to do it for you.
other things to consider is that the PS3 has a monster holiday/early 2010 line-up:
first party/exclusive games like: demon's souls, uncharted 2, white knight chronicles, ratchet and clank future: a crack in time, heavy rain, god of war 3, mag, gran turismo 4.
followed by engaging multiport games: assassin's creed 2, modern warfare 2, darksiders: wrath of war, brutal legend and many more.
when compared; the 360's future line-up, the number of standout titles, especially exclusives is just not so good. halo 3: odst, alan wake and mass effect(which will release for PC simultaeneously) is about all they can pump thier chests for.
my recommendation is the PS3, t's primed to explode in the coming year, but again, find out which games mean most to you and which console supports those titles.
You can use the PS3's hard drive to record live TV. With any luck, we'll be able to record whole series with the flick of an analogue stick. And adverts will go the way of the diplodocus, too.
2) PUT YOURSELF IN THE GAME
With camera game EyeDentify on the way, we know that getting your image into games is going to be a big part of PS3 play. But we've only scratched the surface. How about an online avatar with your face, that updates in realtime from Eyetoy? The possibilities are endless.
3) STOP SHARING THAT TINY SCREEN
Muddy split-screen modes with hazy horizons and perpetual pop-up are a thing of the past with PS3. With two high definition TV outputs, you can each have your own massive, incredibly detailed screen. This is going to be just awesome for shooters - no more peeking at your mate's half of the screen to see where he's lurking.
4) CONNECT TO PSP
With a PSP in your pocket, you'll be able to talk to PS3 in so many ways. Whether it's using PSP to control PS3 games, uncovering new modes with some kind of as-yet-unimagined dual-screen crossover, or swapping saves and custom levels, it's all as simple and easy as pressing the X button.
5) CREATE YOUR OWN SUPER COMPUTER
Stick two or more PS3s in the same room and link them up through one of the fat Ethernet ports at the back. They'll talk to each other instantly and combine their power to make amazing game experiences. So why not buy two PS3s? Or more...
6) BREAK IT APART
If you want to show off that custom level you just created, simply unclip the hard drive from the side of the PS3 and take it round to a fellow gamer's place. Plug it in, and presto! You've got gigabytes of characters, levels, mods and custom items to share.
7) DEFEAT THE HELGHAST
If the Killzone PS3 video that's been wowing us all is anything to go by, the next generation shooter will be simply astounding. Think movie-level animation and unbelievably gorgeous graphics, plus immersive gameplay the like of which we've never seen. It doesn't get any better than this.
8) SHOW OFF YOUR PHOTOS
Stick in a Sony Memory Stick, a Compact Flash card or an SD card from your camera and PS3 will obligingly show all your images on your telly. That's still no excuse to bore mates with 200 photos of your custard cream collection.
9) TAKE THE PS2 TO THE CAR BOOT SALE
Since PS3 has a fully working PS2 inside it, you won't need your beloved black box any more. Our advice: once PS3 comes along, sell your PS2 to your little brother, or create an attractive desk lamp from it. Well, we never said it was good advice...
10) HACK YOUR OWN ENTERTAINMENT
Clever Xbox users mess around with their machines' insides to stream movies from PCs and use the consoles as one-stop entertainment centres. It won't be long after release before enterprising hackers start modding PS3s to do ever-unimaginable things.
11) ENTER PLAYSTATION WORLD!
Not us, of course. No, PlayStation World is the name for Sony's online service. Online PS2 gaming can be a bit fiddly, but Sony learns from its mistakes. The next generation of online will be much slicker and easier to use.
12) MAKE EYE TOY MAGIC
The extra processing power of PS3 means even a standard Eyetoy camera will enable you to interact with games like never before. Not only will your PS3 know what objects your holding, face recognition means it will actually know who you are. How spooky is that?
13) PLAY METAL GEAR SOLID
Go back to your gaming roots and play the one that started it all: the original Metal Gear Solid on PSone. Or any one of the hundreds of PSone games that still kind of rock, because PS3 can play 'em all without a second thought.
14) PLAY GRAN TURISMO 5
We have trouble thinking about Gran Turismo 5 without dissolving into small puddles of joy. The demo on this
month's DVD is just a tiny taster of the ultra-real driving sim. Expect GT5 to be the world's first photorealistic video game. There, we said it. That means it's true.
15) BE THE DADDY CONSOLE
We don't like to boast, but there's no doubt it'll be fun rubbing Xbox 360 owners' noses in the fact that PS3 is literally twice as powerful as their beige box. Oh, and PS3 will have a roster of game franchises that Xbox can only dream of. It's all just too perfect, really...
16) TALK TO YOUR PC
With Wi-Fi, just having your PC and your PS3 in the same room will allow instant communication. Move game saves, music and video files, saved TV programmes and more from
one to another. It really couldn't be simpler. It's most definitely the future, baby.
17) DOWN LOAD NEW LEVELS
Once you've aced every single level on your most beloved games, don't consign them to history - just get online to download new ones. It's already happening on PSP with the likes of WipEout Pure, so expect this kind of functionality with PS3 right from the word go.
18) FORGET ABOUT WIRES
What with Bluetooth controllers and Wi-Fi connectivity out of the box, the age
ps3 has blu ray player so thats an upside.
360 has halo3 and gears of war series and left 4 dead, but the 360 does red ring ive had the 360 since it came out and its never red ringed on me.
(If you didn't get it, the Honda is the 360 and the Lambourghini is the Ps3)
