Xbos 360 vs PS3

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Not yet - was waiting for a comment like that before I bought it...Is it really THAT good?

For 20 quid from the Playstation Store, it is a BARGAIN. Not too sure you need the bluetooth headset that comes with the shop bought package - all I can make out is the occasional mumble.

But, its intense, there's no slowdown at all, even with 32 planes shooting the shit out of each other, and its absolutely ace.

From someone that owns both (no I'm not gloating)...

I would say that the PS3 is far superior when it comes to driving games, the processor seems to be able to cope far better with the fast screen changes.
However, if you are into FPS or strategy games go for the 360. Purely for the fact it has been out longer, and there is a wide variety to choose from. Plus developers have had a chance to get use to how the processor works.
If you're into bubbly platformers and "cute" games get a Wii.

Also, as has been said, the PS3 has a Blu-Ray Drive. A beautiful add-on to a very good console. Well worth the £425 for the console and Blu-Ray.

They announced it at the GC in Leipzig last month.

Official Link?

I doubt you will be able to supply one, because Microsoft own Bungie and the biggest selling game in history will NOT be going on the PS3. FACT.

I can't understand why anyone would go for the PS3 when it's so expensive. The graphics for the 360 are just as good, it's has many more games and it's cheaper.

Wait a year or so, the price of the PS3 will have dropped properly, and there will be a lot more games, of better quality.

Two words... Blu-Ray Drive.

OK, so in some eyes that may be three, but I'm sticking to the fact it's two.

ON TOP OF THAT, it will also stream downloaded movies/tv shows and music from your PC, most devices that ONLY do this will set you back at around £260+

got to be the 360.

Traded in my original box from day of release (no problems ever with it) with a new Elite model as I wanted the bigger HD for Halo3 downloads (custom maps etc..) and more XBox Arcade stuff.

As many have said if you want to play online there is no question you should get a 360. Other areas it's pretty similar both have pro's and cons.

Oh and if you want to pay extra for the next generation of betamax drives then go for PS3.

Get an Xbox 360 Elite and you can do the same.

Worth a read for anyone that isn't sure if they want Blu-Ray or HD-DVD...

""The 360 games wise is the best console that I have ever owned with pretty much a blockbuster in every genre. However I am now on my 4th console when MS post it back to me.

Number 1 - broken in the box.

Number 2 - evil three red lights of death and was posted back to MS to be fixed.

Number 3 - supposedly my old console fixed, although it had magically changed its serial number, and lasted long enough for me to play halo 3 once and then broke.""

Says it all really

.......but you neglected to say that you did in fact give the console to your pet Doberman as a play thing, prior to taking it out the box each time.

Seriously, that is bad luck, I have owned the Xbox since it came out, and upgraded to the 360 early on, and never had any issues at all. Mind you, I also have the PS2 and never had any issues with that either.

What does "continually adjust the laser" actually mean then?

It means I have to take it apart and re-align the mechanism so the laser reads disks correctly. Otherwise I get read errors.

 

[Cian]

Isn't there a refit kit that fixes that permanently?
