Hey guys am wondering what everyone thinks is better... 360 or ps3? Oh and what are good prices for both lol !!!
I personally prefer PS3 just because its free to play online and i have no idea whats the best prices now i bought mine a while ago
My god. We've had a million of these threads. If you want peoples opinions, go to the archives or the history and look the damn threads up. We don't need another thread about what console is better...
And we all know Wii the the shiznizzles. /SARCASM
-ps3 ftw!
:d:d:d
My cuz had 2 xbox elites they both crashed while my ps3 slim still works perfectly lol
Xbox 360....
Most newbsicles don't know what an "the archives" is, Monty.
I personally prefer the PS3 for several reasons:
1. First person shooter maneuverability. The PS3 is undoubtedly more suited to playing first person shooter games. In my opinion, the less "twitchy" analog sticks of the PS3 are easier to aim with than an XBox controller's.
2. Online play: It's free to play online and generally easier to connect than on an XBox.
3. God of War: It's a Playstation exclusive franchise and therefore makes Playstation the best possible thing in the world.
The Wii is a joke in itself, Montros. No reason to ninja a sarcasm in there, it's just redundant.
As much as I ashamed to admit it I have played the PS3 and I won an Xbox 360 so I can list the good and the bad about both consoles. Xbox 360 is more a gamers console (in the true sense of the meaning gamer) whereas the PS3 is a bit of both; family friendly and gamer friendly. There are more mature games produced by Xbox as to PS3 which is why I have coe to this first conclusion.
The second merit to both consoles is the wireless controllers (gone are the days of cording hell!!!) however the Xbox's charger is longer (and therefore better) than the tiny PS3 USB one.
To sum up this pointless list of mine:
The Xbox is better in my opinion because it offers gamers a better Online server and better features, however lacks a web browser (but why would you want one if you are reading this thread?). The PS3's wireless signal from it's controller is the same as the WiFi signal it emits thats why it interferes and makes playing online almost impossible.
Xbox all the way!!!
Do you read PS3 forums? I suggest you do some research into a console you think you know more about than me http://www.psu.com/forums/.
THIS IS INCORRECT.
I know from personal experiences, both mine and my 12 friends that have PS3's, that the wireless signal from the controller does not interfere with the Signal from the WiFi. I'm not calling you out or anything, just pointing out that you are incredibly unlucky if your controller signal interferes with your wifi.
Two more reasons I just thought of;
1. The PS3 seems to be more resistant to overheating than the Xbox. From personal testing, a brand new PS3 can stay on for more than 5 days without negative consequences, whereas I have never gotten an Xbox to stay on for more than three days without overheating.
2. The USB ports on a PS3 functions the same as a regular computer's USB ports. This means that you can use a jump drive to transfer data between systems and computers, including videos, pictures, music, game data, and anything else you might have saved on your PS3. Unless I'm mistaken, transferring information between Xbox's requires removal of the harddrive. I'm not sure if the Xbox even has USB ports.
Guess what also has USB ports?
The Playstation 2.
Obviously your "mates'" PS3 has an affliction called "it sucks ass." I was reffering to the amount of time a PS3 can stay on in a controlled setting compared to an Xbox under the same settings. Not when one is playing a game that is obviously system-imtensive.
I played MW2 online for like 12h no probs with overheating just admit you cant afford ps3 ....LOL
I don't feel like finding the right YouTube video right now, Skir, so I'll paint a picture for you verbally.
Picture Teller from Penn and Teller. Got it? Good.
Now picture him yelling, "Wrong-o, buddy boy!" over and over again while riding a magical llama that floats through the air while breathing cotton candy and pure acetic acid.
This picture that you have in your mind now? That's exactly how wrong you are.
I'm a big enough man to admit I made a mistake...
However, I still believe you are both idiots.

Dude, Im all for Xbox 360, but you are so wrong on this. Ill explain it out for you.
PS3 and 360 were in a race to get there consoles out first, in the xbox 360, the GPU is more sophisticated then the PS3's GPU. This means that the xbox 360 would need a bigger heat sink in order to keep the mother board and the GPU from melting. Since they were in a rush and already had casings for the xbox 360 made, they would have to totaly scrap those casings and make new ones because the disk drive and heat sink wouldnt fit inside the casing. So they thought, "instead of wasting millions of dollars in casings, lets just cut down the size of the heat sink". Thats exactly what they did, they reduced the size of the heat sink by more then 50% which means that the xbox 360 over heats quicker and normaly lasts about a year before the motherboard or GPU (sometimes both) fails. Ive found a picture of where the GPU sits and the heat sink is

That picture gives you a better idea what the heat sink looks like, now take a look at this
http://jamerican.net/JJFiles/Xbox360...tsinkmod_6.jpg
this is a picture of the xbox 360 with disk drive removed (you can tell by the cords disconnected above the heat sink). Now imagine that heat sink being twice the size. You would need to completly remake the casing on the Xbox for it to fit it in.
The only way the xbox 360 will be better performance wise is if they added more fans in/make it bigger to fit the heat sink in. Ive modded my xbox and put 2 extra fans that fan heat out the top of the machine that ive later covered with mesh (and I havnt ever had a over heating problem/frozen/red rings of death and Ive had it since the elite first came out). For you to say that the unmodded Xbox lasts longer then a PS3 is complete BS.
But.....
I still like the Xbox 360 more :P
If it shuts you up and proves you wrong, then Im glad to do it. Plus im waiting for an attack to get back so I have nothing better to do (nothings on TV, girlfriend is out, litterly nothing to do)
EDIT : Someone rep'd be for it too, and saying all that is is 2 pictures and some explaining, thats an easy rep earned. Better then asking for rep like your sig :D
EDIT EDIT : Oh never mine its "Rep me if I helped", that isnt asking, its demanding, my bad.
Zing
So totaly trashing your your post with valid evidence makes me an idiot? Seems like someone is a little bit selfish and thinks that she knows everything without any evidence (yes I said she because you are like a 12-14 year old girl where all they care about is themselfs and think they are always right, you fit the description pretty well) :rofl:
BTW good try with the insult there, but I think I won the insult fight

Xbox all the way.. people say ps3 and use god of war as an example but seriously.. we've got gears :) and xbox is so much prettier than a playstation :| (girlyness shone out in me there :p) my elite hasnt died on me and its played on a LOT .. havent had any problems at all with it, wireless isnt really a problem as u can connect through ethernet cables if u havent got the wireless adaptor, AND so what if we have to pay for live, its only ?40 a year and is pretty awesome when u get on live (especially with gears, which u ps3'ers dont know about hehehehe) .. my only complaint about the xbox is how noisy it is but the new xbox just came out and i can trade my elite in for it ;D *dances* .. the new ones quieter and has the wireless, ready for kinect and even more prettier!!
okay think thats me done lol
if i had a ps3 i think i know what id turn it into instead......

:princess:
EDIT: forgot another point, playstation seem to think an upgrade is making it slimline.. no no it just makes it smaller, if u had the original (as most playstation owners did before buying the slim) then u have room for it.. no need to make it smaller really :S .. xbox has the arcade, premium, elite and now the new version.. all have different storage sizes, prices etc so u can choose which one is best for you.. whereas the playstation u either buy the original or slimline
hahahahahah!
o.O triple post montros, *points @ edit button*
I love how the X-Box 360 fans do not back up their opinions with actual facts. PS3 because of their fans and how to actually put facts.
Now some people know, you can play on PS3 Modern Warfare 2. I post at least 5 people that you've seen X-360 can play on the box, but perfectly true that on the PS3 as well as dismiss.
