X Box 360 Or Playstation 3?

[TSLROCKS]

Which do you think is the better gaming console?

[loganmmm]

I'd be completely baffled if xbox 360 didnt dominate this poll.

[GoodTimes]

super nintendo

[schenksta]

atari 2600

[Vismund_Cygnus]

It's all about Metal Gear, baby!!!

[EamonKid]

xBox 360 but god damn I want MLB The Show 2008

[brooklynburning]

Wii, overall. but i voted 360 because it is far superior to the PS3

[Brokenhill]

Ps3 for sure...so much more reliable. More powerful...and IMO better looking. And you get way more for you money.

[Machu505]

Not even a contest. 360 easily.

[White Noise]

Nothing comes close to the 360's online community and games.

[11:11]

theres absolutely no reason at all why the ps3 would win

[billyboatkid]

PS3, I'm a sony man all the way.

[Brokenhill]

Dumbass.

The only thing that matters is games and XBOX360 slaughters the PS3 in that respect. Xbox's don't break anymore and even if you have an old one they'll give you another free.


ROFL.

Games aren't the only thing that matter...and if they were, Ps3 would win in the long run anway, seeing as the Ps3 can handle the biggest and highest quality games.

360's do break still...I just bought a new one 6 days ago...and the other day I got a system error.

And the 360 doesn't even have that many exclusives that are really that good o the point where you can't miss out on them.

The only exlusives worthwile are Halo3, and Bioshock. Gears is meh.

The Ps3's exlusives are a lot more diverse to...with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (Probably thy best looking game to this day, excluding Crysis). Ratchet and Clank...and then with Resistance 2 coming later...

[alice+interiors]

ps3.

[sasalukac]

it's funny, because that's what i was going to say about the 360. aside from it's far superior online play, it's got nothing on the ps3

edit: and i'm not even a ps3 guy, i'm a nintendo fanboi

[DanceJamesDance]

Xbox has better games and really the main thing that matters to me and that is the online play. Ps3 online sucks. I used to be a Sony fanboy but the 360 crushes PS3

[Brokenhill]

No. Ability to handle games doesn't mean they will come out and game quality is not synonemous with technological advancement. The N64 is still way better than both consoles and it has vastly inferior hardware. Games are pretty much the only thing that matters.



PS3's are shit right now. Resistance is a shitty Halo rip off and PS3's offer nothing else. Xbox has Halo and Gears two of the three shooters that matter. With COD being on both. Moreover the Xbox online network is infinitely superior. Xbox also has Bioshock the best RPG out right now.


I just listed 3 amazing Ps3 exclusives...and as time goes on they will only get better...

Game developers are already complaining about the 360's limitations. The potential the Ps3 has for games will be shown in the future. You can look at any console, and looks at the launch titles, and then look at some of the games from the end of it's era...and the ending games will be much better.

[Brokenhill]

...plus, LIVE isn't going to be that much better than PSN, seeing as all the updates PSN is getting. Remaining free of charge.

[DanceJamesDance]

You're an idiot. The question isn't guess which console is going to be better. It is right now which is better and the answer by far is the 360. Cheaper, better online play and better games.

I'm so happy you are making all these points so I don't have to argue haha. Lunch is right. I had to send my xbox in twice and I'd still buy a 360 over a PS3.

[E.VonDahl]

PS3. Halo is overrated.

uhh no, the PS3 is way better than the 360. thanks for playing though i had fun.

[BrokenMirror]

Xbox 360 ELITE is where its at!

i know the PS3's main argument is that its got greater potential and could be awesome in a years time. well, if the PS3 is this great system in a years time, ill buy a PS3 then. its not like its impossible to own both. but for right now, Xbox 360 has a better online service, a vastly superior catalogue of exclusive games, and several multi platform games e.g. The Orange Box have been scored higher by reviewers than the PS3 versions. plus Xbox 360 hardware and games are cheaper, development time is shorter and cheaper for developers, and i dont give a flying fuck about Blu Ray. i was a hardcore Nintendo guy a year ago. now i fly the green flag of Microsoft's Xbox

[11:11]

Whoever says N64 is a retard. That system had like 3 good games and blew chunks.

But to the point...

The Ps3 is still better, right now. The Xbox 360 is more expensive once you tack on things like Online service and a controller charge cord...(which the Ps3 comes with).

And the games thing is an opinion, besides the fact that this poll is about the 360 vs the PS3, which refers to the consoles...this isn't a thread about which console's games are better.

[Say Hello 87]

I must say that without the Super Nintendo, PS2, N64, and even Sega Dreamcast neither of these systems would be out today anyways, and for all those systems having released the games they did when they did I still find it amazing.

But as for now, Ive had both a PS3 and a 360. And within 4 days of having a PS3 I sold it to a friend, I even bought "Resistance", and I had the off road driving game that came with it. But the limitations of both games were absolutely horrible to the utmost. Resistance is like a horrible version of Halo, and although I dont even like Halo (Im straight up COD all the way), Resistance was just pointless to me, I played it for maybe 25 minutes and was annoyed with it. The only thing I really enjoyed about the PS3 in general was the free internet, thats it though. It's way too overpriced to do so little, its massively heavy, and the games choice for it as absolutely horrible. When I got it there would always only be 1 shelf at every store for PS3 games, because the PS3 is designed for much higher technology, but the thing is, the majority of gamers these days are still back in the day of PS2 and just now moving into PS3, but the gaming technology for it all wont catch up decently until a good 5 or 10 years from now.

And the 360 is just awesome in my opinion. Yeah, you have to pay for xbox live, but I beat every mode in COD4 back in December and I still play it online like everyday cause it keeps me that interested, not to mention basically every single game for the system has live on it so even after you beat it, you can continue on. The only real thing PS3 has on the 360 is the blu-ray player, but honestly, I could give a shit less about higher quality movies. The majority of the movies I really enjoy that should be in blu-ray will probably never be released in blu-ray anyways.

So I used to be strictly Sony with the PS2, then I bought the 360, and it was over.

And oh yeah, Ive had my 360 since last September of 2007 and I still havent had to send it in at all, it is the Elite version though.

[TBSowns524]

i went with 360 because thats what i own... having said that, i also own a wii and i prefer the wii to 360

zelda, metroid prime 3, mario galaxy, wii sports, smash bros, and now mario kart... thats all u need

3 great platformers and 3 great multiplayer games.... awesome

[Anton Djamoos]

360 easily. Regardless of the power of the PS3 or the system's potential, it's still no question because, like lunchforthesky said, it's about the games. The games determine the quality of the system and 360 obliterates PS3 in that regard.

[mjr20]

My 360 broke and I didnt want to wait 2 month for a new one, so I returned it and got a PS3

tldr

360 is my favorite right now. Fuck the marginally better graphics that PS3 provides. If I can't play Halo or BioShock, I don't want anything to do with it. (Except in the case of the Wii, which is in a world of its own.)

[theguy77]

fuck halo call of duty 4 easily owns that game

CoD4 is awesome...but Halo 3 is equally awesome.

If Gran Turismo is your benchmark for what makes a console great, you need to reconsider your video gaming position.

The Wavebird is a more comfortable and ergonomic controller.

[eclecticvampire]

360 no question. I'm not huge into video games, but rock band and guitar hero make my life.

[mr chainsaw]

I have owned both a 360 and a PS3. I sold my 360 because it was a piece of terribly designed crap. It is a loud as a broken fan, heats up way too hot, has a giant power brick, requires money for internet access, and has a poor track record for breaking down. My PS3 is the most complete and satisfying game console I have ever owned.

[recall reality]

The vast majority of 360 games I'm interested in are multi-platform, and PS3 has some exclusive titles, though not yet out yet, that I am very excited about. I just don't enjoy my gaming experience as much on xbox, right down to the controller. What xbox has to offer in it's online capabilites doesn't make up for the cons for me, and PS3 meets my needs in that regard just fine.

Nintendo still owns my gaming heart, but PS3 between these two.

[MichaelP]

PS3, or you know you could dish out the money for a blue ray player and then not even get a console

[Keagan Ilvonen]

360

[zooyorker182]

360 hands down

[theguy77]

If Gran Turismo is your benchmark for what makes a console great, you need to reconsider your video gaming position.

i was just using that as a benchmark toward steven's argument because i know he loves the GT games as much as i do. a far more resouding argument is the call of duty >>>> halo one.

The Wavebird is a more comfortable and ergonomic controller.

hahah i do not understand the meaning of them horrible words. it will never get any better than the playstation's controller.

[ActorInThisPlay]

PS3...easily

[dustyfloors]

I went PS3 as I own one.
My best friend has a 360. So I didn't get one.
We buy games for each other's systems and shit.
I like aspects of both but voted PS3 cause it's the one I own.

[kylestarr]

i want price drops!!

they both have their ups and downs so in that sense, i want both. i think they should just release 1 version of each console at $299

from ps3, i want 40GB with backwards compatibility
from xbox, i want the Arcade version with 40GB

[koala72]

You're an idiot. The question isn't guess which console is going to be better. It is right now which is better and the answer by far is the 360. Cheaper, better online play and better games.
Not really cheaper in the long run when you pay for online play every month.
And no one has mentioned that the ps3 is region free with games which is useful for non-Americans but no so much for Americans.

[mattTLTT]

i went with ps3 because i own a xbox 360 and it freezes all the time...and the graphics are better in ps3...i'm a graphics buff and pretty much only play sports games like madden. Also with the price cut of the ps3 and the blu-ray capability i think its a better system.

[micsforsinging]

socom navy seals

[princesschad]

This is going to be a big year for PS3 with Metal Gear 4, Final Fantasy XIII (potentially), and a myriad of other exclusive huge titles. Also, being the only console blu-ray friendly after the format won the war can only help as well. I admit that PS3 sucked when it first came out, but it's only going to get better.

[Metfan615]

I want a 360 really badly!

[ier182]

I just don't get it. i love my ps3. all the consoles have the same online-gaming strategy so nothing to compare there. a big plus for the ps3 is, that is has a blu-ray-player in it. blu-ray has won (instead of xbox, which has a hd-dvd player) i've always loved playstation. why did everyone buy an xbox????????? it has no future and is just as good at gameplay as the ps3 (off course, ps3 is better ;) ).

[kylestarr]

Lol.

I'm sorry, but everything you said were just hillarious.

[Spenny]

Obviously the Xbox 360.

The PS3 has yet to reach its true potential. It'll still take a while.
The Xbox 360 also has better online and Xbox Live is one of the main reasons to own an Xbox 360.

[kylestarr]

I'm sorry, but everything you said were just hillarious.

how so? i know it's wishful thinking to expect a system with those specs at $299 so soon into the game but i miss the days when that was outrageous for a gaming console. plus, what do i need 80GB for? i store all my music and junk on my external hooked up to my comp. plus, i want blu-ray. plus, i want a lot of the exclusive FPS that xbox offers. plus, i want to be able to get rid of my ps2 and consolidate to fewer systems.

if you were laughing at me, those are my reasons. if you were laughing with me, cool.

Well your demands are a little high...

Both consoles already had a $100 cut. Any more of a cut without changing the hardware would most likely mean the company losing money.

Besides, what you pay for the consoles is worth it.

Also, the arcade version has only internal storage, so it doesn't have that external/removable HD on top. So making that version a 40g would be kind of pointless, seeing as if it were to remain having an interal HD, the console (I assume) would have to be a little bit bigger.

I do know that in the future Sony plans to make another slight price drop...but that's because IBM is in the process of slightly decreasing the size of the PS3's chip.

So wanting a 40g the way it is now with backwards compatability would raise the price...

I say just save up, and go out and buy one for now...get some of the exclusives for it that you want. Then later on down the road after saving up a little here and there, buy the other one...
That's what i'm doing.

I do realize that they would be losing money but I know that Sony was in the first place with the release of the PS3, but I don't know if that is still the case. I believe they ran on the philosophy that they could make the money back with title sales and peripherals.

As for the arcade, I wasn't necessarily talking about the actual model but the specs. I think the only thing it lacks is that hard drive and these days, a 40GB would hardly raise the price at all... it would probably take the price up to that $299 price tag that I called for.

Personally, I'll just continue to use my Wii until that price tag is reached. Plus, as fun as it is for a college student to engross himself/herself in video games these days, it can be extremely detrimental their grades :-/

I own an HDMI cable and I don't need a headset. I didn't realize that the xbox 360 doesn't come with WiFi support built in nor did I realize the arcade was not backwards compatible (that would be a problem for the Halo series). Again, I'll just wait till they revise both the PS3 and xbox 360, whether that is tomorrow or 2 years from now... gives me time to pay off my credit card bills. Eventually they will consolidate to 1 version of each for logistical reasons. It would be interesting if you could custom order these consoles with the features you wanted, granted it would boost the price, you wouldn't be paying for unnecessary items.

Which console do you prefer?
