Which is better XBOX 360 or PS3??

[vern]

@shinso ... the majority of people will NEVER buy or use anything else other than what would come on an arcade system ($200) as opposed to the PS3 ($400).

The multi-platform games that come on both platforms may be similar, but only recently has the PS3 quality been on par with the 360 on multi-platform games because of the simple fact that the 360 is almost always the lead platform. PS3 versions in the past have been plagued by performance issues as well as just plain lazy development by studios who have not yet figured out how to utilize the PS3's power.

There are no major fighting franchises (Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, MK, Soul Calibur) that are not out for the 360 or are not coming out. One could argue that the 360 has a better fighter library because of Xbox Live arcade that allows people to play many of their classics. I guess if you feel more comfortable with the PS3 controller for fighting games, that could sway you to the PS3. Then again, if you are buying a console to play a certain genre, you should be buying an arcade stick anyway.

@softtouch ... The 360 has more downloadable HD video on Live Marketplace, can be used as a Windows Media Extender, can be used to stream pretty much any content that is transcoded, has Netflix streaming. So aside from Blu-Ray, the 360 is far more flexible than the PS3. Up-scaled DVDs are practically of the same quality for most people anyway.

With that said, like I have said many times before ... I do own all three major consoles and I firmly believe that I were to own just one, it would be the 360 because in the end, I buy a console to game and aside from the PS3 exclusives, the console itself offers little incentive to dust off and play.

I'd go for both they are good consoles with lots of exclusive titles, im a big fan of blu-ray movies " ey once you so a blu-ray movie you'll never go back to dvd movie" and as for xbox360 i love there exclusive titles so for me they are all the same...

the recent jasper units still had some reported problems

Really? I/We are looking for a straight evidence that a Jasper unit have 3RL, can you provide me a link that a "Jasper" unit got a 3RL? E-74 & E-80 is another thing though....

pSN is free

Thats the good part.

and ALMOST lag free

coz the way they set-up ther servers is more on your location. I cant play w/ my Bisaya/Pinoy Buddies in Europe or in the Philippines. Dunno why...probaly because its "Free". Sony needs to
rectify this situation.

xbox 360 bare system costs less, but if you
buy the hardware upgrades (wireless components) it will cost even more than a ps3.

Lets see here...

$199.00(Jasper unit)+60.00(60 Gig HD)+99.00(M$ wireless dongle) = $358.00 while the PS3 60 gig = $399.00

I enjoy both machines too...but I play more games on m'ah 360 than my PS3.

hardware-wise it XBOX is better. Durability-wise PS is better. Price-wise PS is better. Titles availability-wise PS is better. Graphics and Gaming Experience Capability wise, XBOx is better.

@ JIC

the PS3 has more hardware horsepower,the 360 has triple core 3.2Ghz CPU system while the PS3 has a whopping SEVEN core CPU system @ 3.2Ghz though they're using Cell processor.

--and yes, its all about the games to determine which console to get..I have a PS3..got no problems with it and I love it! .. before I got the PS3 ..360 was my first choice then I soon realized that Microsoft is known for discontinuation of their products..like my old original Xbox (turned it into a media center)
which they completely killed the console last 2007 to make way for the 360 and advised developers to make games for the new hardware (360)..and i'm surprised that the developers are still making games for the PS2 until now as well as their PS3 counterparts..and mind you that the old Xbox has far more superior
hardware than the PS2..and the PS2 was released last 2000 and then the Xbox was released a year after..

Bottomline, I decided to get the PS3 because of its product continuity,unlike Microsoft..everytime they release a new console, I am pretty sure they will discontinue the 360 when the Xbox 720(currently under development)comes out as what they did to old Xbox..and yes they do have a lot of exclusives..great online connectivity (you have to pay for it)..Im not against the 360,in fact its a great console..except for the RROD issue which I guess they already fixed it..

If you have the dough to spare, get both consoles..

na gihapon problem ang jasper x360's. ang "E74" error, rampant kaau daw with NXE update. try search sa net.

[wAn_eyE]

RROD may be vanishing but "E74" error is rising with the new 360s.

I own all 3 major consoles but my primary machine is still the PS3.

Man this whole 'which console is better' thing has been discussed here so many time before. Seriously at the end of the day... it all comes down to the exclusive titles.

*You like to carry a gun with a chainsaw attached to it? You look the idea of playing a futuristic super-soldier? --Go get a 360

*You like wearing a bandana? You like watching hours and hours of cutscenes (with the occasional gameplay)? You think Sackboy is cute? --Go get a PS3
