PS3 vs. XBox 360 Comparison

[onosendai58]

A couple of points in favor of the 360. Anti-aliasing, which means no "jaggies", PS3 doesn`t have it. No framerate hit for most games. Way fewer glitches on most games. Backwards compatibility for most xbox games, (dealbreaker for me). Updates that don`t take away functionality, (hello, Sony, where`s that Linux in your "It Does Everything!" box?). I can stream content from my PC through my 360 to my tv via Windows Media Center. My 360 was bought new when they first came out for hundreds of dollars less and I`ve never had the RROD. Microsoft has opened the Kinect sourcecode to hackers and modders. THE KINECT, nuff said! On the aesthetics side, my 360 doesn`t look like a George Foreman Grill, lol. Plus, I don`t know if the PS3 has "visualizations", i.e., a stoner`s dream, lmao, but the 360`s are awesome, dude! (Further note on the Kinect: it`s finding applications in all sorts of different areas, from medical to CAD. If we ever have a true Minority Report-type interface it will be due to the Kinect technology. In fact, a modder has already done it partially). I was truly let down about the PS3 since I`ve had a PS1 and PS2. But no backwards compatibility nor anti-aliasing, plus the $600 price tag at the time killed it for me. Final note, Blu-Ray means squat to me since I don`t buy movies anymore. The 360 runs 780p natively and upscales to 1080i when necessary and on my 39-inch HDTV that`s all I need. I don`t mind changing disks, back in the Final Fantasy 8 days that meant I got my money`s worth, lol. Btw, that last commenter was wrong, of course the discs are HD, they just aren`t Blu-Ray. Speaking of legal actions, an entire COUNTRY is suing Sony for the update taking away Linux-functionality!

I do quite like my xbox 360.

mine is the latest generation of the xbox 360.

smaller dye size on the triple core cpu and gpu.

runs much cooler, better graphics quality.

pc still kicks its azz in quality, but at 10 times the cost lol.

Exactly! Although once I acquired the ability to install games to the HDD I never heard the fan nor experienced overheating. (Never really had a problem with either before, unlike my old Dreamcast that sounded like a jet turbine, lol. Still think that console could have revolutionized the industry, the graphics to me far surpassed the PS2, again anti-aliasing, something Sony never implemented, not sure why).

I can play hours on end on my xbox360 with no overheating what so ever.

Hell, it has been 100% stable. Fan is 100% silent.

In this comparison, it depends on how much you care about extra peripherals in the online world. I am a very avid gamer and I love to play online, what i found out most of the time when i played online with either system is that I only went online to play with players, i didn't care about extra features and liked the regular, which is why I would have to go with PS3 here for me.


MODERATOR NOTE: No adds please final warning

i'm a pc gamer got over 100 games on steam , i do have a 360 though for the games that don't come out on pc ( eg. Halo) but if its xbox 360 vs ps3, i would have to go with the 360, runs all the games fine, looks good and most of all doesn't get features removed

Ok i have a 360 n have never had the chance 2 play the PS3 but as is now id say the PS3 is the better buy Simply cuz I think it is a bit STUPID that ppl have 2 pay 4 games then turn around n pay 2 play online with friends but that just me how ever the only reason i have 360 vs PS3 is the price haha i have all ways been more of a play station person otherwise as far as graphics go all i can say is iv heard PS3 is better more often than 360 "Don't know 1st hand" ....
