When we get two closely matched products or brands I feel it’s inevitable that you will get comparisons and I am not talking just here and there, but forever.
Take Microsoft vs Apple for example; they have been compared for years on many products and services they release.
The Sony PS3 vs Xbox 360 debate, this will go on for many years to come not only on the same name games appearing on each console but also with different frame rates, hardware and software.
My opinion is that both of these game consoles will become much more than just for games, they will network more with other software and hardware.
These next-gen systems are much more than the old Xbox and PS2; although they will continue to be compared I feel there is room for both of these systems in today’s market.
The Xbox 360 will go the IPTV route and the Sony PS3 will bring Freeview TV and other TV services.
That is just one example but they will both feature different software and similar software, as an owner of both I am happy as I have seen news of many products and services that will be exclusive to each machine.
This means there will be times when I use just one of the systems for weeks, but the other will always get used when another product or service is released exclusive to that machine.
Do you need both? In short no, but it is worth it.

HALOFREAK, YOU ROCK MAN LET ME TELL YOU WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TELLING US WHAT GAMES ARE COOL MAN BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST SO COOL….DUDE
xbox live is p2p service why should we pay for that just a thought
PSN is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ok I have been reading these articles for quite some time now and am pissed off about all the $h1t people talk. Lets just get all the facts out in the open. Here are the specs for both systems.
PS3 — First available Nov 11 2006// CPU 3.2 GHz Cell Broadband Engine with 1PPE & 7 SPEs// GPU NVIDIA-SCEI “RSX”// Media Blu-ray, DVD, CD, Super Audio CD (20,60,80 GB models)// System Storage 2.5” SATA hd (20.40,60,80 GB models//Controller input upto 7 SIXAXIS/DUALSHOCK 3 controllers//WI-FI built in and Ethernet // Online service Playstation Network (which is free)//Connections AV Cables HDMI, S-Video, RGB SCART, RCA etc// Upto 4 USP ports
XBOX 360— First available Nov 22 2005// CPU 3.2 GHz PPC Tri-Core Xenon// GPU 500 MHz ATI Xenos// Media DVD, DVD-DL, CD add on HD DVD// System Storage 20 or 120 GB HD, 64,256,512 MB memory card// Controller input 4 wired/wireless combo// 3 USB ports, Ethernet connection//
There….. now for why the PS3 is better.
1) BLU-RAY… need I say more?
2) I can add my OWN 3rd party HD
3) Not MICROSOFT
4) Most of the features ie WI-FI and online play are already there and are free
5) Shelf life means game will continue to be produced for 10 years not “WE will not make a new system every 3-6 months to compete with everyone”
6) Original games will be made for the system not just updated versions of games you can get on other systems (like how at least 85% of all XBOX games can be found or were originally for other systems prior to the PS3)
Now don’t get me wrong people will always have their opinion and this is just mine, but common… buying into the Sony propaganda??? WTF do you think Xbox users are doing? Buying into the Microsoft bs!! I can bet that most of you have eather XP or Vista.. HAHAHAHAHA… goes to show you how much bs you really do buy into doesn’t it. Now the PC is by far the best gamming machine period. No one can debate that. But for consoles it is the Sony PS3. $499 for everything the true gamers or $700+ for Halo 3 (actually created for the MAC) the choice is yours to make! Beinging a gamer that was alive when Atari first came out till now….. my choice is the PS3.
Reasons why the PS3 is better.
1) BLU-RAY… need I say more?
2) I can add my OWN 3rd party HD
3) Not MICROSOFT
4) Most of the features ie WI-FI and online play are already there and are free

@ESSE “The PS3 is a girl you take home wearing a push up bra and tight jeans. Upon undressing her, you find out she has small biddies and a flat ass. Total disappointment.”
I dont know what 500 lbs girls you take home but I like the thin sex appeling girls without the strech marks from additional pounds.
In case you dont see the connection let me point it out for u. 500lbs girls= the weight of Xboxs that get trashed and sent back in a week due to poor product. Strech marks= all the damn addons MS asks you to buy to compair to the PS3.
in short Xbox is like being drunk (if you are old enough to drink) and taking a girl home you think is slim, tight a$$ed, and firm. Then finding out in the morning she is a 50 year old prositute with plastic bitties who died half way through and now it burns when you pee. It was a mistake everyone makes
