PS3 vs 360

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't gotten my 360. I just don't use it. I use my PC for almost anything I even consider for my 360.

It's possible that the PS3 may have a brighter future than the 360 at some point, but I believe most of that is speculative. While the PS3 does boast superior graphics capabilities, I don't see it being a huge issue, just as the Xbox's advantage over the PS2 wasn't a huge issue in the previous generation.

As far as online gaming goes, if you want to play games online the 360 has a vastly superior service. I don't think there's really even a question there. Perhaps Playstation Home will be better, but it has been delayed yet again and seems to be facing an uncertain future.

Actually, after working with it, I'd contest that the PS3 doesn't boast superior graphics at all. The PS3 and 360 are evenly matched this generation and excel in different areas depending on the skills of the programmers at each dev studio.

The PS3 doubles as a Blu-Ray player, so if you have a sweeet hi-def setup then you definitely should take that into consideration.

However, the 360 has far superior online support, and it has a pretty nice lineup of games at the moment. However, if you're not a FPS guy, definitely go with the PS3.

However, we all know that PC online gaming > console online gaming.

Playstation has free online.
If you play online, and like to save money, this is a pretty decent thing.

The games for the PS3 and 360 are pretty much interchangable, save games like Halo and Uncharted respectively.


I read somewhere that while 360's commonly overheat (or the early models did) less than 1% of all PS3's have/will overheat and shut themselves off.


But honestly, this is like comparing a black shirt to a white shirt.
It just comes down to what colour you like better.

Also important to remember better graphics doesnt warrant better gaming. The DS for example outsells the psp like its nobodys buisness.
