thesilverfox Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 To be honest, a lot of it is just peoples preferances from years ago.IE, I had the PS1, PS2 etc etc Just a bit of company loyalty Both got advantages. Both got disadvantages. I see what you say though Yikes, well my loyalty sucks! I've had a Sega Game Gear, Nintendo 64, PS1, Wii, DS and Xbox 360. Seems like I love the big N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThePirate Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 IMO after playing on both consoles this week i find them to be pretty much the same. Played Modern Warfare 2 on both, Graphics wise they were nearly the same, ps3 was slightly better though. But we didn't have the xbox running on HD. Online play, xbox is better but at a cost, so thats up to you. But to me the Ps3 controls just feel better, more natural to use and I found myself doing alot better with the Ps3 version. Also Xbox has media center is thats any interest to you, but Windows 7 can stream music to Ps3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think i have manages to persuade a PS3 as a birthday present. Just a pity its a few months away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Headroom Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I have never played an xbox but have a PS3 what i have done is add a larger hard disc - Another plus for the PS3 (one to add to the many in the thread) is you can add an operating system and use it as a PC.

vinnyvangough Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Is that installing Linux after the update that you need to play online that you can NOT install if you have Linux installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reinaldo Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I still go for PS3 because it is more reliable. PS3 lifespan is around 7-10 years while Xbox 360 is around 3-5 years. You'll also encounter some problems with Xbox 360 and Microsoft Technical Support are not helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJ Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have both. I have had the 360 for a lot longer so have more games on that. All the new games I have brought were for PS3, apart from Kinect, which is truly amazing! Main advantages of PS3 is no fee for playing online and Blu-Ray player. Both brilliant consoles, both have pros and cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinSteve Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've had a 360 since they first came out, sold it after 3 years when the warranty had run out and bought a new one but have never had any trouble with either of them. I bought a PS3 about 2-3 years ago and sold it, it didn't have many good games out and the ones that were already out on 360 and had been ported across were !Removed!.

fezzigaz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 360 :) just because online mode is far far better than that of the ps3 -- even if you do have too pay for the priveledge :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercerft Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Definately 360. Had PS1 and PS2 both ok consoles and went to the original X-Box which was better but mostly because it came out years after so would have better techonology. Seen the PS3 graphics are about the same but the 360 has a bigger library of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shauno2010 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 especially now with the release of kinect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p38fln Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The Kinect is awesome - the only problem I have with it is I can't play multiplayer games with my small 32" HDTV unless they are turned based like bowling. I have a 1280x800 3500 lumen projector on order, when that shows up I should be able to have a lot of fun with it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin lancelott Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't have either the 360 or PS3 nor ever will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountninz Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 PS3 Definately xbox 360 is good, but ps3 is better graphics + blu ray dvd cant say no ;) altho sony's internet security is well um.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 All about the Xbox, I may only like games like Portal and some driving games but I love the interface, even if it is microsoft. Plus paying for the Xbox live means if it goes down, there are a lot of people that are not receiving the goods they paid for... unlike if it's free you cant complain so easily ;) Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulyPaul Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 In terms of technical specs, the PS3 is far better. The processor is alot more powerful, it has a built in Blue-ray player, and as the games are on Blue-ray format and not DVD like XBox, there is 4 or 5 times the size of memory, for more detailed games. However, because the hardware is alot more complex on the PS3, games developers, find it easier to write the games on the XBox's simple format, and then port it over to PS3. Therefore, 90% of games look, and play the same on both formats. The real potential of the PS3's power, is only show in a few PS3 exclusive tittles like the Uncharted series. And although the XBox doesn't have a Blue-ray player built in, you can buy the units separately as add ons. I only own the PS3, and i chose it because I had the first 2 Playstations. However, as an end consumer, now the prices are pretty much identical, there really isn't alot of difference. If you don't have a Blue-ray player, i would 100% say buy the PS3, as you can save alot of money buying one separately. If the Blue-ray player is not an issue, then i would just look at which of the exclusive tittles you would prefer to play, and how the controllers feel. Although looking at the date of the original post, i'm guessing you've already bought and gotten bored with whichever one you chose lol.
