Re: PS3 or XBOX
I have an Xbox... does the job for me!
I find the way games play online much better on the Xbox than the PS3. The only thing I prefer with the PS3 online is the way everything is priced in the marketplace (actuall in GBP), unlike the Xbox where you have to buy these crappy Microsoft Points (which I have 500 left sitting doing nothing as I can't find anything I want to buy with them)
Thing which makes me laugh with the PS3 is the whole GT5 malarky... They released the Demo (Prologue) and made people pay for it... I don't care what you say, its still a Demo in my eyes...
Quality of games are the same, the 'Platform Exclusive' games on both are a bit weak tbh, I don't like Gears of War, nor do I like the look of Little Big Planet...
And the whole 'Cell' processor which Sony use to sell the console as being as powerful as a Supercomputer is just tripe, its actually quite a weak processor when you look into the specs, and has very few advantages over the CPU in the 360.
Both have reliability issues. I've had my Elite replaced once already, and my old Xbox which I sold RROD'd last November... But were both fixed for free. My mates PS3 has gone pop 3 times while he's had it (bluray drive failure, and corrupt graphics twice)
The only thing I can see the PS3 as an advantage over the Xbox is that it plays Bluray films... and that really is it...
Oh yeah, the PS3 is also a complete git to develop on, both in regards to the devkits and how you go about debugging your code on the system, again due to the absolute shambles of a CPU inside it.

Re: PS3 or XBOX
Jesus Christ - students get way too much money then if they can have all that lol. I got a moderate gaming PC - it can play crysis at medium and bioshock maxed but tbh i prefer my 360. Im a bit of a halo fanboy though - ive played over 4400 games of halo 3 online lol

Re: PS3 or XBOX
xbox 360 hands down, just down to the better online experience and one other point is the controller is actually moulded to your hands unlike ps3, but wudnt mind a ps3

Re: PS3 or XBOX
The PS3 is the iPod of the console world. vastly overpriced for what it does and way too fashion concious for it's own good!
Another case of style over substance.

Re: PS3 or XBOX
PS3 all the way!
Come on, they just look the dogs bollocks. The Xbox just looks tatty i think. Also they are reliable unlike the xbox.
The only good thing about the Xbox is the online gaming, but you gotta pay for that which is a bit bobbins.

Re: PS3 or XBOX
Not quite true. I've had 2 xboxes, neither of which have failed, yet everyone I know with a ps3 has had to return their console at least once.Frankie4fingers wrote: Also they are reliable unlike the xbox.
Personal taste, I personally think the ps3 is too big for it's design yet the 360 looks quite cool. IMO, black consoles are sooo 1980!The Xbox just looks tatty i think

Re: PS3 or XBOX

I would quite like an xbox but i just cant afford one, they both good consoles, depends what you after really. Gotta be the PS3 for me though.

Re: PS3 or XBOX
The PS3 only has 1 game going for it: Gran Turismo 5. The XBox has loads! Gears of war, mass effect. forza, project gotham.
The PS3's games catalogue is no where near as good as the 360's.
