I think that the xbox 360 is better because the ps3 has some bad rumors going around I'm not sure if they are true or not but the one that bothers me the most is that the ps3 only show 30 frames per second other systems show 60 per second -xbox360vsps3

Hmmm I think that both the ps3 and the xbox360 have there good and bad points but in comparison I would say the Ps3 would win because it has better hardware but I think the xbox360 is a lot popular because basiclly its cheaper and the graphics dont look that much different I currently own an xbox360 and its pretty enjoyable but im going to get a Ps3 for christmas. So in terms of sales I would say xbox360 wins.

The majority of this thread screams out fanboy all over... just like every other thread on this topic.

I actually took a look at the hardware specifications many, many times. I've actually posted about them several times in multiple fan boy threads. Yet people don't seem to realize that both consoles are very much the same, albeit a possible bit of performance in the PS3's favor. (Then again, from what I hear, the PS3 suffers from stutters in frame rates with certain games.)

The PS3 uses a seven-cell processor (out of which the PS3 only uses six, with the seventh disabled to reduce costs) while the Xbox 360 uses three processors, all split as dual core processors. The PS3 utilizes the RSX GPU, which is comparable to the Xbox 360's Xenos GPU. (The RSX is slightly better in performance, but the Xenos design allows - if I remember correctly - for an on-die cache of smart eDRAM, similar to how AMD removes the Northbridge step, for faster processing and rendering of data.)

Each console has its flaws. I hate my XBox 360 because the friggin' thing died on me via the infamous red ring of death... hardware failure. In my opinion, if you pay $400 for a console system, you should be getting something that works. It's good to know that Microsoft has extended the warranties and taking in consoles for repair, but we really should have to worry about that.

The PS3 suffers from a varied number of things, from stuttered frame rates to outright crashes. The first batch was disastrous with PS3's failing outright, but like I said, both consoles have their horrendous flaws...

Which leaves the Wii with broken china and televisions, but then again, the problem exists with the bio-interface and not the hardware.

Both consoles are virtually the same. The game library is larger for the 360 because it's been out for a year longer, plus it's harder to develop games for the PS3 (as they have to be designed to utilize the six out of the seven cores in the cell processor). Other than that, I don't see any arguing point as to which system is better, hardware-wise. (I still think the PS3 would be overpriced as a gaming console, but then again you are getting a BluRay player.)

Until we actually can run benchmarking software to see how both systems relate, there isn't really a way to tell if either system is ultimately better.

And of course, if one is better, how much better is it? And does it justify the cost?

P.S. If I may be wrong about the hardware assumptions that I made with the processors or the GPUs of either system, please correct me.

Speaking as a gamer here is my as unbias as I can make it views

Right I think for now you are better off with the 360. it has more and better games and a more developed online and it noticabily cheaper however, the xbox is designed to last 3-5 years however the PS3 is designed to last 10 years.

As for the above complaint that 360 has many bugs, if you it from before say christmas it's likely to break however, the newer model should work fine

personally if I could only have 1 i'd keep the 360. Luckily I don't have to make te choice

yeah i'm sort of in the same boat as far as trying to decide which one i want to spend my money on. i've always loved the playstation consoles and since the ps3 games are on a blu-ray disc the games can be larger... xbox 360 i believe is still using the dvd type disc so the games have to be small enough to fit on that disc.
i guess i'll just keep waiting a little while to see if the ps3 can catch up with the xbox360 as far as titles.

Hey i honestly think you should get both if you can i know there are a lot for some people but what im saying is that xbox360 is good for games and ps3 is good for hardware and graphics so its really ur choice but u should get a ps3 if u can only get one although there highly unpopular compared to an xbox360

i have both the ps3 and 360 but i like XBOX alot more since you can play live which makes it a lot more fun and it has halo 3. Ps3 has nothing good to offer so i am selling it

GENERAL
Xbox 360 Vs. Playstation 3

I think that both consoles are great. I own a PS3 and a mate of mine owns a 360 and the main difference is the resolution. I have a HDTV and the games look superb but my mate jsu thas a normal TV and I'm afraid it looks poor, compared that is.

So pretty much what I'm saying is that if your not a fanboy, only spend the money on a PS3 if you have a HDTV.

PS3/XBOX 360
Xbox 360 Vs. Playstation 3

Well Having Read Some of These Posts, some are misleading

PS3 Has A Better Overall system - much more power, memory (unless you get xbox 360 elite) and better graphics

XBOX - probably will bring out more sports games

Also XBOX Live Costs �40 I think a year and PS3 Network is free!
