Please, I need your advice. Xbox 360 or PS3?  

Hi Lydia,

It all depends on what your looking. I am an XBOX fan and own a 360. I will say I am also not a Sony fan and would never buy a Play Station. However the main differences are big or small depending on what you do with it. The PS3 does have the more powerful graphics capability, but the pratical difference is very slight at this point because game designers have not entirely caught up with the hardware capabilities. XBOX360 has also far out sold the PS3 and despite there resent redesign and price cut, PS3 is still a distant 3rd in the console wars, and not selling as many units right now as the other two systems. PS3 does have a live service where you can play games, watch movies, and download some other content just like Xbox Live. However Xbox Live is far more established, has more to offer, and has a much larger gaming community than Sony's live service. So it boils down mainly to the games. Most of the popular games will be made for both systems. However if you are a big fan of games that are exclusive to one system or another, than you may want to go with that system. Also keep in mind the new version of the PS3 is not backwards compatible, so you will not be able to buy and play playstation 2 games on it. While with the Xbox360 a simple software update you can get for free on Xbox.com will enable you to play a long list of the original Xbox console games

Hi there ! I'm not not an expert on this but I can tell you what I know what the two. First of all if you want to talk about the graphics! infact PS3 has better graphics if you just talk about the machine it self! ( but this does not mean xbox 360 is at disadvatnge! tell you why later) because if you look at the hardware PS3 has more potential since it is capable of playing games at 1080p where as xbox360 is only at 1080i the "p" is better than "i" but ! it is hard to see the difference from our eyes ! Although PS3 is able to play games at 1080p but it also depends on two other factors to achieve this ! first is you have to make sure your TV can also produce graphics up to 1080p and secondly is the game it self ! some games are not made to be able to be played to 1080p so yeah...but this is same to the xbox360 ! so I guess they are equal here...none has the edge at this part.

I know that people said what you want to play on a PS3 it is very likely that you will be able to find it on xbox360 too ! and yes that is true ! there are very few games that is on PS3 that xbox360 do not have and vice versa for xbox360! but this only applies to the western market ! if you are an asian then this would not apply as there are lots of japanese games that is only on ps3....but yeah...other than that I guess it really depends on which one you want to get ! and your budget limit! if you do not have a budget cap then either one is ok! but if you do have a cap! I would suggest you to get a xbox360! but you have a disadvantage and that is if you want to play your games online you have to pay extra to microsoft for the xbox live service where as PS3 its free !

Hope this helps : )

I have an xbox360 and can say that the graphics are great on them. I do believe alot of things will be going to blue-ray soon, and those with out the technology to use it, are going to be out of luck, Owning the xbox and having had it for almost a year, I would say it would be in your best interest to invest in the xbox360 over the psp.

100 bucks more for a ps3.
