Which is better XBOX 360 or PS3 ? and why?

This is always a tough one. Both systems have an online social network that allows you to communicate and with a gold membership for xbox live that comes free with psn(playstation network), players may play with/against eachother in online modes. with xbox LIVE if you don't have a gold membership, well i'd say it isn't worth having an xbox 360. You can have cross game chat, invite friends to your game,acess windows messenger, earn achievments and much more. with psn it's all free. other then DLC( downloadable content). You can play online with other people. Send messages, create chatrooms, earn trophies.. which are basicly achievements but with 3 different types of trophies you can get. the better the trophies are, the harder they are to get.... you get a internet browser, which isnt all that great and a pc or mac would certainly be the better choice. For the internet, xbox LIVE wins. As for now at least, ps3/psn has the potential with a few firmware updates to match or go beyond xbox live. And the systems themself.. well lets just say ps3 is better. Blu-ray, blu-tooth, better processor, enhances hd movies,sixaxis controllers, and more. The xbox 360 has a failure rate of 54%, so if you own a 360. It's not the matter of why you get the fail, but when. So as for now, which wuld i buy if i culd only buy one? The xbox 360. why? it's simple, everyone has one! when more people start getting ps3s, and psn matches xbox live, "PS3's WILL DOMINATE XBOX 360's, THIS WILL BE THE END OF THERE LIFESPAN!" Simple Answer: PS3 Social Answer: Xbox 360

I have a ps3,and my brother has a 360,so I have tried both,and I have to say that I think ps3 Is the better console

PS3, it has more Exclusive games on it like LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, Uncharted Ect. online is free, theres an Internet Browser, the PS3 has Blu-Ray Player, the PS3 comes with the Wireless Adaptor in the PS3, and in xbox you must buy it for like 90$ ? It's just better IMO.

I prefer the 360 because of the prices of both the console and games. I also prefer the 360 because of the games it has that the ps3 doesnt have.

This message is coming from a guy who owns all of the big three consoles out now (5 if you count psp and ds also) systems as well as 25 other systems and been playing for 30 years. Sony recently dropped the ps3 price to 299. I will compare it to a 360 elite system since that is microsofts highest end system and is priced at 399 still. Ps3 has built in included wifi connection for wireless internet, the 360 does not. It will cost you another 100 bucks to buy an addon for the 360 to get wifi. (do note ps3 also includes ethernet for a wired internet connection also so you get both). Ps3 has bluetooth and usb ports for flash drives, keyboard, mice, microphones, headsets, earpieces and so on, the 360 has neither nor can you add them on. Ps3 comes with hdmi cables for hi def, Microsoft recently said they were going to stop putting HD cables in with elite systems. Ps3 has 100% free online gaming, the 360 charges you a annual fee to play any game online or even have a friends list. Ps3 also has something called Home which is 100% free and optional to use where you make a character and run through a virtual world with other people, chat, check out themed areas like a resident evil 5 area with mini games, trailers playing on big screens, an apartment you get to own and decorate. Ps3 can play blu ray high def movies and has a really good upconvert on dvds, 360 can only play normal dvds and doesnt improve their picture any. Its kind of cool you can download a movie on your pc, put it on a flash drive, put the flash drive in your ps3 and watch the movie file on your pc also. Not to mention the ps3 runs dead quiet vs a 360 which is quite loud. And ps3 is known for being a pretty problem free machine while 360 even to this day still suffers from hardware problems, hell gamestop stopped taking extended warranties on them (don’t know if they do again now or not) because so many people were bringing them back with problems. Far as games go both systems have 90% of the exact same games. All big names games like wolfenstein, bioshock 1 and 2, call of duty 4, fallout 3, grand theft auto 4, modern warfare 2, batman arkahm asylum, guitar hero/rock band, madden 10, assassins creed 1 and 2 and so on are on both systems and will continue to be released on both. Each year the list of exclusive games gets smaller. But personally the games on the ps3 that are exclusive I like better and have more of a variety to them. Killzone 2, MAG, noir, final fantasy 13 versus, DC universe online, final fantasy 14 online, uncharted 1 and 2, little big planet, flower, god of war 3, gran turismo 5, super stardust hd, metal gear solid 4, resistance 1 and 2, ratchet and clank tools of destruction, white knight chronicles, heavy rain among another dozen titles coming out in the next year that are ps3 only I like better. But all big name big production games will be on both systems. And well, I personally like the ps3 controllers better.

many poeple would say ps3 because of better online but no you lag out of evry game i had both systems playstation 3 i had to send to get fixed 3 times my xbox none

i have both and they are great, but i say go with the 360.

Adding to what ticha said. You can get a PS3 slim 120 GB for £229 on shopto.net
