PS3 V Xbox360

As for people that witter on about graphics being better on either console are chatting through their arse, they're both basically the same.

Ps3 graphics are inferior to Xbox, plus first person shooters look and feel terrible on ps3. Xbox is simply better

I have both and dont really have any bias towards either so i'll list off what i find useful about both.

PS3 - Can play PS1 games no matter which version you buy, 60GB ones with the card reader etc can play PS2 games aswell which was then removed in the 40GB's and any new consoles since. If you're only after playing games with no interest in the social side then i'd go PS3. Sony has a lot of decent first party studios bringing out exclusive games whilst also getting multi-platform games too so you're never gonna be stuck for something to play. PS3 doesn't have that many third party apps though, only 4OD, iPlayer, ITVPlayer, Netflix and Lovefilm off the top of my head.


360 - The daddy of online gaming. Party chats incredibly useful so you can talk to your mates constantly even when playing different games. Solid first party games like Forza, Gears etc but there doesn't tend to be that many with only their big games releasing now and again. 360 imo is also the better console when it comes multi-platform games and they nearly always seem to play better on 360, not saying this is fact just something i've noticed with a lot of games i've played on both consoles (Skyrim being a case in point, ran like shit on PS3 at launch whilst being fine on 360). Onto apps, 360 is brimming with them now, Netflix, Lovefilm, iPlayer, Twitter, Facebook, Vevo etc its got the lot and they work brilliantly, i never thought id use them much but i seem to use them daily now. Also, people moan about paying for live but if you phone MS you can always get the price down to around £24 for 12 months :)


As for graphics, you'll be hard pushed to notice any difference between the two consoles as they're both pretty much neck an neck in that department.

I've had both and sold my PS3 as i preffered the 360.

As others have said it depends what you are using your console for. If it's online gaming then it has to be Xbox (there is no difference in graphics). If your more into online gaming, pretty much all downloadable content is released earlier on the Xbox. Off the top of my head Fifa demos are released a week earlier, the latest Cod maps were out a month earlier on XBL etc.

If your a gamer it's got to be the 360, it's a no brainer.............

If you're younger than 16 then go with the Xbox 360, otherwise go with the PS3.

Ps3
- Better looking than the 360
- Nowhere near as loud as the 360
- doesn't have the massive power adapter
- doesn't get the red ring of death
- better controller
- online browser
- blu-ray
- wireless controller (that you don't have to pay extra for an adapter)
- In built wireless (that you don't have to pay extra for an adapter)
- free online play

I had a 360 elite for 5 years and it broke just before christmas, was gutted the colour just went on it then would not come on tried all over to get it fixed but it was goosed. Got a PS3 last week and it's fantastic i'd recomend it if you are going for one, online is decent and all the downloads for it are excelent. Only downfall is i can't stand the ps3 pad prefer the xbox pads all day

I have both.

I'd recommend the xbox if you're under 18, it just completely feels like a kids console. You can have fun creating cartoon avatars!

Otherwise get the Ps3, it's basically better in every way.
