Which is better ps3 or xbox 360? and why?

Well.....like other people say...it depends on the sort of games you like. Now the PS3 has come down in price the 360 and PS3 are both at reasonable prices for what they give. Lets put it this way...whatever one of them can do the other can really.....the only difference is the memory on them....the PS3 standard comes with 40G and for about an extra £30 - £60 you can get a 120G Xbox 360 (I'm not sure on the standard size memory for the Xbox) But again the difference is the size of the game files so on PS3 you obviously don't need as much space for because the files are smaller. Both consoles have online...360 you have to pay for..PS3 you don't, it's FREE. There are some games for 360 that are freat that are exlusive and some for PS3 that are also great and exlusive..................... My final conclusion is to research the games and thing you like....what console there for and go buy the one you feel you like HOPE I HELPED (or not)

xbox 360. i actually wanted a ps3 but i found out that xbox had no more defects (red ring) and now their only $300 for a 60gb. and xbox has a better online play netflex and a game marketplace. xbox also got a new dashboard so thats pretty cool. another good thing is that most ppl xboxes and so u can game with ur friends. but if ur friends have ps3 get ps3 because online gaming is to hang with your friends. i like both im not a fan boy. i chose xbox because all my friends had it. hope this helps you choose.

PS3 all the way Xbox 360 may have better games but it canget the red rings virus and thats the end of it

ps3 is the best

i like the 360 because of the amount of games out there for it. its been out for longer than the ps3 and more glitches have been worked out. the only downside to the 360 is it might crash once, but if you send it to microsoft, they will either fix it or replace it, and that problem won't happen again. my ps3 started tweaking out so i sent it to sony and a few months later it happened again. so in my opinion the 360 is much better and more reliable. the only downside i can see is you cant play metal gear solid

i have both, i prefer the xbox 360 to the ps3 because they have better games and stuff. but my boyfriend prefers the ps3 to the xbox 360 because of the graphics

ps3, it manufactured better so you won't get 'the red lights of death' , has a built in blu-ray reader.

360 Definitely. All around it's better. It has Amazing games and plus everyone knows Microsoft is better then Sony. You can even look at sales, 360s are outselling ps3s. And even if it does get red ring, You can send it in. It's not like it's not fixable, You don't have to buy another one.

XBOX 360. The Online experience is much better then the PS3's right now. Costs Less money, and more games out there 360 has near every game that the PS3 does, while there are many exsculsive the 360 has, that the PS3 doesn't. Halo Fable Crackdown Dead or Alive Gears of War Ninja Gaiden a Ton of RPGs Saint's Row Too Human Viva Pinata ,etc-- all those are great games in their genre Controllers are more confortable Xbox out sold PS3 in November more then 2 to 1 for a reason.
