I wanted to buy a gaming console, which is better a Xbox360 or a PS3?
Xbox360 has a better online gaming system but you have to pay. PS3 online is free and more easier than paying. PS3 has bluray built intoo.
it is a good game
PS3 online network is free, but it has plenty of drawbacks. I find the match making in many games to be clunky and slow. Not to mention it was down for like 2-3 months straight this year, due to hackers (probably going to happen again). Xbox >>> (yes 3x) PSN.
Each system has exclusive titles. I am a Xbox fan, but there are a few games on PS3 I wish I could play on Xbox. I know a couple of my PS3 owning friends that same the same about Xbox only titles.
The enjoy the feel of the Xbox control compared to the PS3 control.
If you are willing to pay the $60 a year and want a better online experience I would recommend the xbox. If you dont care much for online play, either system would probably make you happy.
Thank you for your advice, I think I will buy the Xbox.
If you got the money you should buy bought consols haha :)
i have an xbox and im happy with it, but they both are pretty unseperable, course there is always the wii which is a hell of a lot cheaper and just as fun
have them all...ps3 is just a better machine, i enjoy playing it on the ps network but it is a matter of preference. i never played the xbox, and always played the ps2....i do like the xbox360 mostly price wise could get games cheaper. but damn the ps3 looks way better on the ol flatscreen.....that kinect thing is pretty amazing though alot more responsive than i thought it would be, but the xbox is in the kids room...ps3 for me if im gonna play...
Ok, from a pure online gamer my favorite console for online is the Xbox 360. It is p2p, however the online system is stable and much more advanced than the ps3. If you are a competitive gamer, the 360 is also the better option as the general skill level is much higher than that of ps3 players (sorry guys, i owned both consoles and played each one exclusively for 1 year online.)
Xbox 360 has the more gritty game list out of the 3 options (wii), whilst ps3 is more family/friend based. Ps3's free network is a bonus, however stability is pathetic (the servers were hacked not too long ago and took the whole network down for almost a month).
Any questions in particular? Oh, the ps3 controller is better.
buy a playstation 2. all the games are practicly the same just have the price.
That is debatable now though, games have come a very long way since ps2 and he will indeed lose out.Quote:

Haha well said pbb. just buy em both!
im pissed, i just bought madden, a little late lmao....but my fukin ps3 says error now and freezes up when I play...I think its fuked up....looks like I gotta get a new one...this is so gay when it comes to gaming consoles, they always get fuked up...you pay like $300-400 for it and then they break in like a year or 2...i already went through 2 xbox360's with the red rings and now my ps3 is fuked...its bs.

My favorite feature is the voice commands. While sitting at my desk playing poker, I can voice control my Xbox put on a movie, play/pause all with no controller. Loving it.
i like the ps3 myself, had the xbox and xbox 360 and the 360 went bad in 3 months with the rings of death and bought another one a mth later and it went bad in 1 year..had a ps2 for 4 years and it still works but the ps3 allow you to play games and watch blue ray movies so i say ps3
i think both r dam gud but my fav. game is gears of war series which is only on xbox360 whch is bettr than god of war n other ps3 exclusives like heavy imo
i enjoyed playing halo, also like the fifa series of games as its good time pass, other than that i rarely play the xbox...
i like the good ol wii. since i am a grown up, i do not really play games like that anymore. but my son likes the wii and i like playing that with him sometimes
PS3 by far it has better graphics better controlers and the internet is free so boom ya baby!!!
360 better for strictly gameplay, and the joystick is more comfortable, unless you have tiny hands...... Playstation has a badass blueray/dvd player, works like a champ + the games are near as good, thought there is not as large of a multiplayer database, but its free to play online through PS3, unlike xbox360. If I was buying a console strictly as a hardcore games to play call of duty 24/7 or whatever I would get an XBOX, however, I dont, and for the balance of DVD player and gamer, I personally prefer PS3.
Xbox DVD reader + disc reader has been known to crap out after a short time, playstation is way more durable... used to prefer xbox all my life, now I prefer PS3. didnt mean to write that much..... lmao
Defnetly PS3 ! Its the best ever
Ps3. Free online, you really can't beat that
doesn't ps3 also have a blue ray? free online sounds awesome.
i like both but like sports on ps3
don't both systems pretty much have the same games besides a few titles?
newbie to the online for ps3, since it free, what do i need to get online, do i hook it up thru my current isp..can anyone help..txQuote:
