    Question Xbox or PS3?

    OK. I know that most of you are gonna say Xbox 360 but why? I play PS3 because that's the only thing I have. Most people buy Xboxes if they have the choice but why? It's more expensive than PS3? What is so great about the Xbox 360 that the PS3 doesnt have?
    Thanks- StoopidSquid

    There are a hundred articles all over the web giving opinions on this. When it comes down to it most (not all) software companies build their games in such a way that it will have maximum performance on the 360. Most of the time the PS3 and PC versions of the games are ports of the base game that is built for the 360.

    This may not seem fair but it is all about market share. There are more 360's out there than PS3's therefore more potential sales. They are going to always build the games with the 360 in mind because its the way they will make the most money.

    I don't know where you are looking but the Xbox is much cheaper than the PS3 in most cases. Of course you don't get a bluray player with the 360 but if all you want is a gaming console bang for the buck goes to the 360.

    I've played the PS3 and it is a great system. Having the added bonus of a BluRay player is very cool. Some will say that the graphics are better on the 360 others will say the PS3 is way better. It's all subjective and at the end of the day both systems look good. The processors are completely different animals but independent studies show that the Xenos processor in the 360 will outperform the Cell processor in the PS3. However this really doesn't matter as all games will be built to perform well on both processors.

    At the end of the day everyone will play the system they have. They are both great systems and will provide tons of fun for their owners. That being said, if someone was to ask me which system to buy my suggestion will be the Xbox 360.

    That does kind of stink but on average the 360 is $100 cheaper than a comparable PS3 and thats enough to pay for 2 years of Xbox Live.

    You can get a 12 month subscription card for $50 online.

    I am no subject matter expert but the appeal of Xbox to me has been there since the huge box back in the day. Playstation has always been around, the PSOne was my pride and joy when I had it, as was the PS2. But that was only because of Grand Theft Auto. It was exclusive to Playstation for a while, so thats why I had it.

    But the big turn around to xbox happened as with likely everyone else in the world, was the release of Halo: CE. I made the switch and ever since I havent looked back. Microsoft has to owe its great success to the Halo Franchise and because of that people bought the 360 when it was released over the PS3. Yes the PS3 has by far better features. Free ONLINE, Blueray player and a lot of other perks... But it just didnt have Halo, and then GTA was made for the Xbox and so many more titles that are just not on board with PS3.

    Also a big appeal to other is that it is in fact a Microsoft product... So people are like, "Hey my computer is a Microsoft Windows so I can now connect it to my xbox? Windows Media Center? What thats cool!"

    And not Microsoft sealed the deal with Kinect, the controller free look into the future of gaming that PS3 nor Wii could do. PS Move was cool but that was like Wii, Xbox has no controllers and that is a huge step. Now the games will pour our and become better in time and Playstation is left by the wayside..

    So there is my 2 cents

    =3 No problem. That's always been my views between the two. I used to adore my PS3 until the Hard Drive got corrupted! Then, I sent it in and they sent me another one. Turns out when it breaks the first time, your warranty doesn't restart. =/ Because thes econd time my disc drive wouldn't work JUST like my XBOX.
