in defence of the 360
If you buy a new one now they are no more prone to breaking down than the PS3.

The exclusive games far outnumber exclusives for the PS3 and have higher overall quality and multiplatform games in the majority of times look and play better on the 360 than the PS3.

The controllers are much better than the PS3 ones- the thumbsticks are indented, placed more sensibly so you don't need a claw hand to use them, have triggers that you don't need to stick a third party peripheral to to make them usable and don't feel hollow like the DualShock 3 does.

Batteries? PS3 may have an inbuilt battery and charger pack, but the Wii definitely doesn't and it eats batteries at a phenomenal rate.

The online is better than the PS3's as well.

You may pay less for the console, but you definitley pay through the nose for Live, controller charger packs and the £60(!) wireless adapter. That little lot takes it up to the same price as a PS3, but as a games machine, it really is the best.

Bollocks.


Spent time with both...PS3 is miles better.


why have betamax, when you can have blue-ray.

Better hardware maybe
Though it's only internal Sony studios that can do it right and make games like Uncharted 2.

PS3 beats 360 in the media centre stakes, but in the games console stakes the 360 wins hands down. 360 has the best exclusives, the best running multiplat games and by far the best online service. Not to mention the controller.

Sorry.

But I can't dance to that.


I've tried both....360 left me cold...

PS3 does everything better....I love the controller....X-box feels cheap and nasty...

You should have spent a little extra and gone for the best... :-)

Controllers
I've always preferred the feel of the PS controller to that of the XBox, but that's just personal preference really. It seems like most of the games exclusive to the 360 are of the shooting guys genre, which is fine and all, but I like how the PS3 offers more in the adventure/platform area, which is more my cup of tea. I like FPSs too, but I prefer to aim with a mouse.

why have blu ray?
Its a bag of bollocks. Making people pay stupid prices to make something "slightly" clearer?

Only a complete fucktard would buy one.
Stick to DVDs, dumbass.

Every blu ray I've ever watched has been the same quality as a DVD at 3 times the price. Its the ultimate in failure.

sorry... wrong.
yes, some of the blu ray transfers are pish and not worth paying for. with others, like 2001 and john carpenter's The Thing, the disc is absolutely stunning and knocks spots off anything you've seen previously.

Just should never have been Blu-ray
should have been HD-DVD. Sony just muscled in and chose the worse choice for everyone.
