Two Years On: Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3
Filed under: Gaming
It has now been three and half years since the launch of the Xbox 360 and just over Two years since the Sony PlayStation 3 was launched, and in that time much has changed. Along the way, Microsoft have had much to deal with, I am talking about the Red Ring of Death, it has taken the company three years to fix the issue, but at least they have done so.
The Sony PS3 did not have any such issue with their hardware, but they did with the price. The PS3 was thought to be too expensive for most, but Sony have said that they were selling them at a loss, the Blu-ray player being the main reason for the high price tag.
So where does that leave both consoles now, well over the years the Xbox 360 has come down in price, 2008 was a great time as Microsoft offered a number of price reductions. Sony has maintained that they cannot offer price cuts, but they have gone down in price since the console first launched, maybe because they took away two HDMI ports, the multi card reader and the backwards compatibility.

FYI. The PS3 never had two HDMI. It was planning to but it never was released with two.
Much has happened in these two years. The main thing has been the graphics of PS3 are now extremely comparable to those of the XBox 360.
More developers are getting used to the PS3 and starting to make some very nice games for it.
The Xbox has had some new features they have the right to boust about. the main (and really the only one now) is NetFlix.
PSN has made some great strides since it’s inception. It nearly (key word, nearly) matches Live feature for feature.
Some might not agree with my statements but they are facts.
“The Xbox has had some new features they have the right to boust about. the main (and really the only one now) is NetFlix”
How is it a “fact”, to say that netflix is “really the only” new feature of xbox live.
That is not a fact, it’s a lie.
