Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360

the biggest thing the Ps3 has going for it is that it's the least expensive Blu-Ray player on the market, has built in Wi-Fi, doesn't require an external power brick and is less prone to overheat issues. The XMB (to those who get used to it) may be a little more intuitive and less cluttered than the 360 dashboard. There are much more in depth settings controls on the Ps3 than on the 360 too.

 

You should get a Wii. That way you only have to worry about breaking other stuff with your Wiimotes, not the system itself melting down (like the 360). Also a truckload more games than the PS3.

 

The Wii is more of a party system. It isn't very fun if you don't have a house full of people over. At least with the 360 and PS3, you can go online and play against others.

 

Won't be collecting dust when Uncharted and Assassin's Creed drop my friend. Call of Duty 4 comin' tommorow, who else is coppin'?

 

i don't care about backwards compatibility. i don't have any ps2 games.

 

I don't know why some people make a huge deal out of paying $60 a year for XBL. If the product is good enough, which I believe it is, then $60 a year is really a bargain. Yes, the PS3 Network is free but it doesn't come close to what XBL has achieved.

Anyways, unless you are a game developer, you shouldn't be concerned about the specifications of each console. Buy a console based on its library of games that attract you the most. It is that simple.

 

God of War (1/2) and Final Fantasy XII are MUST plays ,imo

 

i'm not very familiar with XBL, so what are the differences?

all i know about the ps3 online is that i plugged in my ps3 and have been playing online without a hitch since. are there certain bells and whistles that it's missing or something?

 

the biggest difference between PsOnline and LIVE obviously are fees
PSO is free and LIVE is a pay membership
however, LIVE is more robust and has (reportedly) more servers
there is a TON more downloadable content on LIVE
and I hear joining lobbies is more difficult on PSO

 

I thought you were lukewarm towards Final Fantasy XII?

I am the same. I figured both are online, one is free, one costs like $5.
