What do you guys think about these systems? Personally I believe that the Playstation 3 is gonna be a lot better than the xbox360. But I am only saying this out of my knoweldge about the two systems. First off, playstation 3 technology that is futuristic. It has Graphics cards that hasnt even been used in computers! Post your Comments/Replys!

To me i think they both looks almost identical, they are both roundish silver like things... personally i would go with ps3 because i've been a ps person since ps1 and never really had much likeing for the xbox but right now they have almost no difference in style which is really disappointing... i thought ps3 was going to be more box like and white, guess i was wrong...

Hardware wise from what I have read the Xbox 360 is superior to the PS3. But then it will all come down to the games and the extra things you can do with them. The Xbox 360 still has the xbox live and their server is more powerful for the 360. Now they have also made it free on the weekends. So the one thing that I am wondering about is the games...will they live up to their names...or will they just look the same. I will be getting both of them...

I'm not quite sure..i do not posses neither of them
But,heres what i think..PS3 is better in one way,cuz most of the games are made first for it,then ported to other systems...
But,XBOX has so much better hardware[which meens better performance],and knowing that Microsoft is also a huge game developer,we have many good games for this console too...Also looks better then PS3..
So,my choice would definitely be Xbox360.

I agree, Xbox Live is one of the reasons Xbox 360 will be way better than Playstation 3. Otherwise, I love all the games that come out on Xbox currently, so I too hope that the games are as good as they should be.

I believe that the xbox 360 will be far superior. It looks very nice and polished and it has an advantage because it is released earlier compared to the playstation
