why what can an xbox do that a ps3 cant?
can it play xvid and divx nativly? or play bd discs? or run linux? or have built in wireless? or play any region games out of the box?

ps3 at the moment is better..but xbox does have the capabilities to be alot better-its just a case of microsoft developing it to its full capabilities.

wtf man, as an it technitian ill put it to you that the ps3 has got a software malfunction that overheats the hard drive, and this is called the yellow lights of death, look it up if you want to, but they have the same ratio of breakdowns as xbox, but xbox is consistent, and the same thing happens to them all of the time, but on the ps3 there are many many more things that can go wrong! the blue ray drive on the ps3 is second string to most, as the laser quality is half powered for room in the ps3 case! ps3 also has framerate issues, and can't load gfx as quick, and as for someone saying that gta 4 was shortened...bollocks, the gfx is better on the xbox, and there are also loads more DLC available for the game on xbox live, like TLAD! Because PS3 is the subconsole that gta4 came out on, and 360 is the main one, the game had to be shortened, because nobody can convert great xbox gfx into great ps3 gfx! the ps3'r gfx card kind of thing wont have it! but if the game was contracted for the ps3, and then subcontracted for the 360, equal gfx should be possible! so dont start any console wars when you...clearly dont know anything!

that towel trick actually works, but it is a temporary trick that works for a week or 2! what i did, was do the trick, and take it straight to game and get money off an elite!

obviously if there is an electrical problem then towels arent going to work! u take the xbox apart remove the heat syncs put a themally conductive compound on the chips underneath the heat syncs then u replace the x-clamps with screws and rebuild the xbox without the fan and let it over heat for 25 mins then turn it off then on and it will work!! then put the fan back on!! lol

firstly if the same thing breaks on the xbox all the time? why is it not being fixed? i mean if i bought a car that kept breaking down with the same problem i would want my money back.

secondly the PS3 dosnt have framerate issues usualy the people who have been
it depends on what TV your using and what sort of HDMI lead for their TV as unlike scart leads there are diffrent types designed for diffrent things.
all consoles including last generation have issues with framerate, this is usualy down to the software developer not utilizing the hardware in the console,
the xbox360 suffers from this also again same with the xbox360 its not the console its the game developers.

and sorry but nothing and i do mean nothing you have said has anything remotly linked to you being a technitian
(which by the way is spelt: Technician btw)
as for graphics, its not evything. after owning both consoles i cant really see much diffrence in the graphics between them, apart from the PS3 games are all in HD
the nintendo wii has about the same power as the gamecube so graphicly its rubbish and wont play dvds or anything fancy and hardly has any online games or features. yet its outsold both ps3 and xbox360 by a country mile!
