(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So with the PSN down now for what seems like an eternity I've been playing Xbox. Now, I'm indifferent when it comes to the "console war" and I thought I'd share some light for those PS3 users who have never experienced xbox and vice versa.



Please note this not a fight. Your console is not better than someone else's however we can have an open discussion on the differences. We can share our favorite things on BOTH systems which hopefully will add some insight into someone thinking of making a change. :y:

Flaming will NOT be tolerated :bat:

i like xbox 360 and ps3, i don't see why people get mad if you have this or that lol. but it's them

I disagree with this i have been playing since before PS1 and always owned a PS and hated MS and would never buy there system but after my PS3 broke and they wanted me to pay 150.00 for them to send me a used system i bought 360 and love it and tried to go back and play PS it's just not the same

I have both. Xbox's have more graphics and more things to do in my opinion.

Well more jrpg really(disgaea, trinty universe, ar tonelico, etc) my favs. Well it is a good thing, getting a few friends together to game is awesome, perhaps not for all, but can be fun.

xbox: i love the cross game chat on box but the controller and the batteries are both annoying and costly WAY to many young kids with their annoying little girl voices

ps3: the network is junk i can't tell you how many times i could play only because of the network crashing since i got my playstation 3 years ago but the users tend to be more skilled due to the fact that its more costly for the ps3 and the hardcore games usually go for more expensive things.

they are both in the long run game consels so they are fun end of story

so which one do i think is better? .... the WII :lol:

Bumping ahead of the reposts

I have both ps3 & 360.

I like the ps3 controller much more (lighter, longer battery life)
The ps3 network is not as good as xbox.
The blu-ray is so much more durable than the xbox disc (DVD).
There seems like more kids in xbox than ps3 which I don't like.

Since I bought my ps3, I only play my xbox on exclusive titles.

Let's look at the maximum theoretical numbers for the Xbox 360 and PS3 GPUs.

	Xbox 360	PS3
Triangle Setup	500 Million Triangles/sec	250 Million Triangles/sec
Vertex Shader Processing	6.0 Billion Vertices/sec (using all 48 Unified Pipelines) 2.0 Billion Vertices/sec (using only 16 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 1.5 Billion Vertices/sec (using only 12 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 1.0 Billion Vertices/sec (using only 8 of the 48 Unified Pipelines)	1.0 Billion Vertices/sec
Filtered Texture Fetch	8.0 Billion Texels/sec	12.0 Billion Texels/sec
Vertex Texture Fetch	8.0 Billion Texels/sec	4.0 Billion Texels/sec
Pixel Shader Processing with 16 Filtered Texels Per Cycle (Pixel ALU x Clock)	24.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using all 48 Unified Pipelines) 20.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 40 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 18.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 36 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 16.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 32 of the 48 Unified Pipelines)	16.0 Billion Pixels/sec
Pixel Shader Processing without Textures (Pixel ALU x Clock)	24.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using all 48 Unified Pipelines) 20.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 40 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 18.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 36 of the 48 Unified Pipelines) 16.0 Billion Pixels/sec (using 32 of the 48 Unified Pipelines)	24.0 Billion Pixels/sec
Multisampled Fill Rate	16.0 Billion Samples/sec (8 ROPS x 4 Samples x 500MHz)	8.0 Billion Samples/sec (8 ROPS x 2 Samples x 500MHz)
Pixel Fill Rate with 4x Multisampled Anti-Aliasing	4.0 Billion Pixels/sec (8 ROPS x 4 Samples x 500MHz / 4)	2.0 Billion Pixels/sec (8 ROPS x 2 Samples x 500MHz / 4)
Pixel Fill Rate without Anti-Aliasing	4.0 Billion Pixels/sec (8 ROPS x 500MHz)	4.0 Billion Pixels/sec (8 ROPS x 500MHz)
Frame Buffer Bandwidth	256.0 GB/sec (dedicated for frame buffer rendering)	20.8 GB/sec (shared with other graphics data: textures and vertices) 10.8 GB/sec (with 10.0 GB/sec subtracted for textures and vertices) 8.4 GB/sec (with 12.4 GB/sec subtracted for textures and vertices)
Texture/Vertex Memory Bandwidth	22.4 GB/sec (shared with CPU) 14.4 GB/sec (with 8.0 GB/sec subtracted for CPU) 12.4 GB/sec (with 10.0 GB/sec subtracted for CPU)	20.8 GB/sec (shared with frame buffer) 10.8 GB/sec (with 10.0 GB/sec subtracted for frame buffer) 8.4 GB/sec (with 12.4 GB/sec subtracted for frame buffer)
Shader Model	Shader Model 3.0+ / Unified Shader Architecture	Shader Model 3.0 / Discrete Shader Architecture

Xbox 360 has the advantage in most cases.

ps3 all the way nothing wrong with xbox but the controller and no blu-ray and you have to pay to play and.......
ok xbox sucks
and damn the numbers
