they both got there pros and cons. you just have to find one that you think has less cons next to them

360 Pros: 1080p, Cheaper then ps3, better online (dedicated servers), replaceable controllers batteries, media extender (i.e can watch movie files from your computer thru the 360 and onto your tv), has a couple of exclusives already that rank over 9.0 on reviews (gears of war, bioshock, soon halo 3), big online community, xbox live marketplace (free demos, old arcade games, movies, tv shows, etc), easy to mod to play burnt games, controllers rumble

360 Cons: Pay to play online, Red Rings of Death (aka xbox failure rates), $100 dollars for the wifi to make your xbox wireless go online, no HD-DVD drive or Blu-Ray drive, blows out hot air and kind of loud (these are the old models and the new ones supposedly are much better in these areas)


Ps3 Pros: 1080p, Blu-Ray Drive, Free WiFi and online gaming, hard drive is standard, motion sensing tech in controllers (which i find gay anyways), their best exclusives are coming out within a year (mgs4, gran turismo 5, ff13, etc), you can buy your own upgraded hard drive and install it in your ps3 (so if you buy the 60 gb ps3 you can put in a 180 gb hard drive)

Ps3 Cons: Price, games that are out now average, the games that are on the 360 and ps3 run much better on the ps3, controllers feel really cheap and no rumble, blu-ray drives in the ps3 load really slow (madden loads really slow on ps3 compared to 360), the console itself is huge and the finish on it makes it get dirty easily, batteries are internally in the controller so if the battery dies out so does the controller



i got a xbox 360 and my friends have a ps3 and i still see no reason to go out and buy a ps3 anytime soon. the bluray is tight but unless you got a 40+ inch HDTV then thats just a afterthought. ps3 might have more games in the next few years that arent on the 360 but right now most of those exclusives are coming out on both systems.

You can do this on the PS3 as well.

As far as the controllers, I like the lightweight feel to them and they stayed true to the original design (which is nice for long time Playstation users).

I don't know the lifespan of the controller. My wireless controllers last a long time (probably 10-20 madden games) before I have to plug them into the USB port to be recharged but I don't know if they will die out eventually.

All other points are good. Really it comes down to the 360 having more and better games out at the moment and it's a bit of a risk betting that Sony will have great games in the future (although it appears some great games are coming out soon like mgs4, etc)

im just sayin if the 360 controllers rechargeable battery dies you just buy a new one for 8.99, for ps3 if that happens you have to buy a new 49.99 controller. It might not even be a problem ever, only time will tell.

i dont like the ps3 controller no more its way to light and i play madden on it and i almost always lose grip on the controller and it falls out my hand cus i have to reach for the left thumbstick. and its way to light it feels like someone can break it if they sat on it.

and yeah ps3 might have better games and 360 might have better games. its a gamble for either system.

most 32 inch lcd tvs arent 1080p, they just starting coming out. and 1080p on a 32 inch is almost identically to 720p on that size screen. the resolution realitive to the size of the screen doesnt make much difference if any at all. they say you cant see the difference between 720p and 1080p unless the tv is over 40 inches, thats why i said that. and blu-ray is way over rated in my opinon. the movies are cleaner but not for the price of a bluray player. its only a matter of a couple of years before bluray isnt even a factor. its all about digital distribution.
