For those of you who cant choose between to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360:


http://blogs.pcworld.com/gameon/imag...vs_xbox360.jpg

There it is folks.

Price of internet for Multiplayer and not browsing i think is 80$ a year still
for xbox

Wi-fi is another 100$ if you wana pay that too..

the 0 GB harddrive is MORE EXPENSIVE than the PS3's 40 GB

Blu-ray = $1000 - $1500 to buy now so PS3 is good for that

(i know the graphics etc is MUCH better for the PS3 that chart comes next )

Ethernet is TEN TIMES hear it now TEN TIMESS faster for PS3...
talk about xbox fails

High Def = higher as well for PS3

HD Dvd is 180$ to get?!?! LMAO xbox is like 800 $ after 3 years cause of internet, getting wi-fi, getting HD, than controllers

As Ps3 you only need controllers, so the 500$ 80 GB harddrive would be around 600$ after getting 2 controllers and intetnet is free
Better system by far, for much cheaper

i WILL admit tho PS3 needs better releases.

Kay so the processers are around the same, the GPU goes to PS3

Dvd reader goes to xbox.. but PS3 games use Blu-ray i think (NOT SURE) but if they do.. when the games with 10 gigs come out XBOX Is going to look bad cause they will need 3 discs with thier 4.7 GB CD's and IF Ps3 IS blue-ray the one disc compatibility will be nice

Like i said before Lan = TEN times faster

Motion sencing :D Ps3 makes it worth it with this (my mom got a wii last christmas i wanted to shoot it its a HUMILITY to video games but ill start a new thread WHY the wii fails after)

One sacrafice sony took was the no rumble road. Dissapointment if you ask me but i would rather motion sencing really so

Everyone knows the PS3 graphics = much better anyways so yehh.

And 1080P and 1080I both have thier advantages so yeah..


I know this isnt the "best" debate between the two ever written but Xbox is a joke haha

Edit: My images didnt work so i'll post you the links

Re: For those of you who cant choose between to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360:

thats a very biased debate! Do you work for Sony or something?

In the end, its all down to personal preference. I have played both the PS3 and I own a 360 and I am personally very happy with my 360!

to be honest, I think this argument is well over and its about time we moved on and just started playin our games!

Actually, XBox Live Silver is 100% free.

Wi-fi is another 100$ if you wana pay that too.

That's an option. It's not required by any means.

the 0 GB harddrive is MORE EXPENSIVE than the PS3's 40 GB

I will admit that MS was mean about not letting us put in anything, but it also simplifies the system.

Blu-ray = $1000 - $1500 to buy now so PS3 is good for that

No idea where you get those numbers from.

(i know the graphics etc is MUCH better for the PS3 that chart comes next )

The graphics hardware of both systems is about the same.

Ethernet is TEN TIMES hear it now TEN TIMESS faster for PS3...
talk about xbox fails

How does that affect anything? Unless you have a gigabit Internet connection it doesn't need anything beyond 100Mbps.

High Def = higher as well for PS3

Both support up to 1080p.

HD Dvd is 180$ to get?!?! LMAO xbox is like 800 $ after 3 years cause of internet, getting wi-fi, getting HD, than controllers

The HD-DVD drive can be had for about $50 if you still want one. XBox Live Silver is STILL free, and both systems require you to actually BUY controllers.

As Ps3 you only need controllers, so the 500$ 80 GB harddrive would be around 600$ after getting 2 controllers and intetnet is free
Better system by far, for much cheaper

i WILL admit tho PS3 needs better releases.

A double-layer, double-sided DVD can do about 17GB of storage.

Like i said before Lan = TEN times faster

Again, makes no impact on gaming.

Motion sencing :D Ps3 makes it worth it with this (my mom got a wii last christmas i wanted to shoot it its a HUMILITY to video games but ill start a new thread WHY the wii fails after)

One sacrafice sony took was the no rumble road. Dissapointment if you ask me but i would rather motion sencing really so

Everyone knows the PS3 graphics = much better anyways so yehh.

And again, they are about the same.

And 1080P and 1080I both have thier advantages so yeah..

This negates what you stated earlier.

I know this isnt the "best" debate between the two ever written but Xbox is a joke haha

Edit: My images didnt work so i'll post you the links
Just some tidbits. :)

ebackhus, behave yourself! It's not polite to rip people's opinions apart so thoroughly. (j/k)

Re: For those of you who cant choose between to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360:

Somebody's sour about the PS3's lack of DLC

Microsoft have just placed an order for 10000 sets of 45nm CPU and GPU wafers for an unnamed xbox upgrade programme sheduled for completion in late 2009. What that means? From what I've read they are doing what they do best; theiving ideas off others, heh. A "slim + lite" version of the 360, possibly named the 540, rather than coming out with a completely new architecture mid-gen.

It's a gutsy move, if they pull it off they may well claw back some of the market share they've been losing to Sony, but in my view ultimate success rests on whether or not they can throw enough cash at the non-Sony members of the Blu-Ray Consortium to secure that tech. It's more likely than it was a year ago, but it could still go either way.

Re: For those of you who cant choose between to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360:

Hold on. hold on. I'm the only one who can talk here, I OWN both systems and I enjoy them both. But the best system hands down is easily the PS3. If you don't agree with me I don't care because in the end what I think is what matters
