Which do you prefer Xbox 360 or Playstation 3?  email this discussion to a friend?

Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games 4 years ago

Personally i prefer the 360 as noted with the name haloman. I find that the 360 is a far better gaming experience even though there are fewer games availible for it. The only downside i find to the 360 is that there is no web browser and you have to pay for the online gaming you would figure a microsoft produce item would be free like the PS3 but I have no problem paying the $60 (Canadian) for the year subscription to enjoy great online play as found in Halo 3

i still prefer the ps3. The cost is expensive but it is worth it. Its a all in one console. Don't get me wrong, I own an 360 too. It basically the same as the ps3 but i usually have to fork up more money for stuff the ps3 can already do like,plug in play and charge..


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

thanks for your opinion. a buddy of mine had a PS3 and he came here and played Halo on the 360 and afterwards went out and bought a 360 himself and now his PS3 sits on the shelf barely even touched... i see your point thought he 360 does cost more for the various add-ons and attachments plus the membership fee and it would help if it had a browser on it but i still prefer it over the PS3. I have however always been an xbox man i had two regular xbox consoles and never had a PS2 i did however have an original PS system until i sold it to buy a gamecube lol, thanks again for your input

I prefer the 360 over the PS3. Initially we bought a PS3 but it has never performed well for us. It could have simply been a dud. We decided to get a 360 and have been very satisfied with it.

The user above does make a good point about the added expense for all of the add-ons.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

thank you for your input Monk. where i live a lot of people have 360s and not so many have the PS3. do you play online on the Xbox? if so what have your experiences been with the 360 during online play?


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I have played some of the Call of Duty games online with fantastic results. What about you?


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

i play Halo 3 online on a daily basis and for the most part i have outstanding results, there are occasions where people lag and that makes the game a little frustrating but it's to be expected. i have also play hockey and basball online with similar results, i think it's great how you can play against people from all over the world online, that way even if you're home along you don't have to play by yourself


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I agree. It's also fun to play with friends who live far off.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

yeah it is, it can make it seem like your friends never left i play online with a few of my friends from all over the world. one of my friends is in the army and he even takes his xbox overseas and play online from anywhere and everywhere. also you can meet a lot of people and even if you never know their names or where they're from they sort of become frinds and you look forward to playing against them again


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

This is very true. It's also one of the reasons that prompted me to get a 360 -- when I saw the online capabilities, I was sold on it.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

yea it's a great machine. what do you think of the new xbox experience with the little avatars and stuff?


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I have only glanced at that. I keep intending to make a better avatar for me but I haven't yet. What do you think about it?


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

i think it's pretty cool, it gives you a chance to make your profile stand out from everyone elses. my guy is all dressed up with a suit and some sunglasses lol it can kill a few minutes for you if you're bored....they should add on some more clothes and possibly tattoos just for more originality and creative space, i don't have any tattoos for real but i know that a lot of people do and they might like to be able to put them on their avatar too`


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I made an avatar and it looks too much like me for my own comfort. It would have been nice to have a few more options, but it's still a neat idea. The tattoos would be a good idea, too.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

yea my guy looks quite a bit like me too that's why i gave him the glasses and the suit, two things i don't wear so that way i can say he doesn't look like me at all


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I had wished they had a nice robe, but that wasn't one of the options, so I just put on some cargo shorts and a Hawaiian Aloha shirt.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

lol nice, maybe we can get a petition of gamertags going around and ship it into microsoft to get some of these ideas put into action, a robe would be an excellent addition, and maybe some necklaces and pendants too


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

Those are excellent ideas.

I bought both for my kids for christmas...the PS3 for my son and the Xbox 360 for my daughter. My kids love both!


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

do you play either of them yourself? i will say taht for sports games the PS3 probably has a slight edge, i know for baseball games EA Sports can only make them for PS now they can't produce any baseball games for the other systems


myLot reputation of 81/100. crigal (101)  4 years ago

Yea...I play Madden 09 on the PS3 on the 46 LCD tv....oh man the graphics are just awesome! Haven't played any games on the 360 so I can't compare them. Eventually I will.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

i have all the high def cables nad a 52 inch flat screen, the 360 graphics are phenominal, especially in halo

I think I already made my vote by buying a ps3, but the fact is, I want to be ready to play blu-ray if it becomes the norm. I liked LBP (Little Big Planet) and it was enough to help me from buyer's remorse if only for the fact that 360 preforms way better than PS3 as PS3 has not found the full potential use for their really good chip.

PS3 also promises free online play, unlike Microsoft, who are money grubbing charging a lot for it.

Definitely PS3.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

thanks for your opinion. even if blue ray does become the norm wouldn't a blu ray dvd player be a cheaper option just to play the blu ray discs? if you haven't played a 360 yet i highly reccomend trying one out you may be surprised at the performance level it brings to the table


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hmmmmm (1682)  4 years ago

Regarding Blu-ray, with the way things have been going, I think it's more of a WHEN than an IF. Studios have already made the switch from HD to Blu-ray. Netflix has chosen Blu-ray as well.

Also, I am with enognis on the Microsoft dollars. We have already spent a fortune on operating systems and MS Office packages. I am not keen on giving them any more money than I have to.

Not to step on any toes, but to answer the question about a Blu-ray player being cheaper... Sure, you can find a basic Blu-ray player for less money than the PS3, but you can also find some that are more expensive. It depends on what you want in a player.

While I have absolutely no experience with the Xbox, I have done my research and I have to say that I am pleased we went the route we did - and purchased the PS3.

We actually purchased the PS3 BECAUSE of the the Blu-ray capabilities as well as some of the networking features. We haven't even done much with games other than downloading some of the free demos offered by Sony or their partners. We also purchased the Logitech keyboard for the PS3 so we can utilize the PC features of the PS3. Being the geeks that we are, we've had some fun playing with the PS3 as if it is a PC. We have also installed the PlayOn software, which allows us to view Hulu.com videos as well as most of the shows that air (or aired) on CBS (I did a Family Ties marathon a couple of weeks ago!). Then, with the Netflix partnership, we can view anything from our Watch Instantly queue through the PS3 as well. There are also partnerships with ESPN and CNN and Youtube that we haven't bothered to explore, only because we don't care (plus, we can already do what we want with the TiVo). rasp

We also got a deal when we purchased the PS3. We were given a coupon for five free Blu-ray movies, which gave us a nice start to our collection.

So, $60 Canadian? Out of curiosity, why are you paying in Canadian dollars if you live in the US?


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

i live in Canada, i dunno why it says United States in my profile i clicked on Canada lol oh well i guess.... so what are you gonna do if blu ray doesn't take off like people think it will?? with all the high def and stuff coming out now i don't see how blu ray could be so much better myself, but i guess only time will tell... good luck with your investment and thanks for your post!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hmmmmm (1682)  4 years ago

How very odd about your profile!

You do know that Blu-ray is 1080p and as HD as it gets, right? HD DVD has been discontinued, and Blu-ray is now recognized as the standard for high definition DVD format. In other words, HD DVD format = Betamax and Blu-ray = VHS.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

no actually i did not know that....yea it is weird about my profile eh lol

I prefer the Playstation 3 only because I really had much fun on the Playstation 2, and the consoles are very similar.

I am not pleased over how much more attention the Xbox 360 is getting though. It has more games available than the PS3, more exclusive content, and games that appear on both consoles usually contain less bugs in the 360 version than ps3.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

haha thats simple because the 360 is better my friend....lol i like the 360 myself there are 3 of them in my house and they get played a lot, if you have never played the 360 i reccomend trying one out, it could change your opinion


myLot reputation of 57/100. gohan2091 (378)   ranked 129 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

I have played the xbox 360 and I prefer their control pads to the PS3 as they are more comfortable (not saying the PS3 are uncomfortable because they aren't). I like the PS3 because it has more power and potentially better graphics than the xbox 360. It's just a shame that PS3 users are missing out some of the action that 360 users have...


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

thanks for posting what do you think the next level will consist of for both platforms? there's gonna be more powerful stuff coming in the next few years, do you think that playstation 4 will be more powerful than the next xbox?


myLot reputation of 57/100. gohan2091 (378)   ranked 129 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

Well let's look at the past...
The Xbox was more powerful than the PS2, but the PS3 was more powerful than the xbox 360 so it could go either way. I honestly believe the next generation xbox will be more powerful than a ps4 because the gap between the PC and console is narrowing and xbox has Microsoft (who are big players, more so than Sony) to back it up.


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

true story my friend, true story...i wonder when the drop date will be

Xbox 360 because i think it just has an overall better online community and it encourages you to start partys and meet new people i also like that xbox has more English/american type games... ive noticed that the PS3 is more into japan oriented games


Haloman (49)   ranked 237 out of 363 in video games  4 years ago

true, i believe sony is japanese based though which would explain that, xbox is microsoft so it's clearly American and will always have that american style behind it

Xbox 360 has best online gameplay and has really good xbox exclusive games like halo and gears of war. Ps3 has free online gameplay, can play music and browse internet, plays blu ray movies, and has ps3 home.
