Okay, so I am tired of all those Xbox-fanboys running around saying their Xbox’ are better than PS3's ... "BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE". Another thing is that most of these Xbox-fanboys have never actually owned a PS3 to be able to fairly compare it. I have both, and honestly the only thing I see better about the Xbox is that the controllers fit your hand better and has more resistance on the analog sticks.
One more little thing is that more people own Xbox’. That is honestly all I can see that is better. But, it has been confirmed that the next generation Playstation will have a completely redesigned controller to fit your hands better. It has not yet been confirmed EXACTLY what it will look like. So, when they fix the controller problem, there will only be one downside left - that more people have Xbox’.
Well, if that’s the only thing better about Xbox’ then soon after all, the PS3 will outsell the Xbox. In fact, gaming analysis have recently stated that the PS3 will outsell rival consoles.

Also, it cannot be ignored the fact that the PS2 user base is still very, very large as it have over hundred million users. The staying power/trust of PS users far outweighs the terrified Xbox user that one day will see their console suffer the Red Ring of Death. So anyway, I decided to put this note up to help solve the Xbox VS ps3 problem. Enjoy.



1. No Red Ring of Death! According to the a survey made by Game Informer Xbox has a failure rate estimated to be 54.2%, when PS3 has a failure rate at 10% according to Gamespot. That makes the PS3 over five times more reliable than the Xbox 360!

2. Xbox game-programmers have 4.7 gigabytes of space to program their graphics into. PS3 game-developers can have up to 43 times MORE space to work with. That’s 200 GIGABYTES! You just can’t argue with that until the Xbox decides to copy the PS3 and get a Bluray- drive.

3. Bluray-movies. This is a huge plus, as you can watch your movies in full HD. A DVD-movie is just crap compared to a Bluray-movie.

4. Don't need to spend extra money on rechargeable batteries for controllers.

5. FREE online gaming. You don't have to pay to play online. If you want to play online with an Xbox 360, you need to buy an Xbox live account. The PS3 has this feature available for free.

6. The PS3’s exclusive games have "easily" topped the game of the year awards. Uncharted 2 - A major critical and commercial success, it was named by Metacritic as the most critically acclaimed game of 2009, and won Game of the Year awards on IGN, Eurogamer, Game Informer, Joystiq, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, AIAS, X-Play, Game Developers Choice Awards and the Spike Video Game Awards for the year 2009.
It also got a 10 out of 10 rating from game informer, and a 5 out of 5 rating from game pro. Now, let’s move to Littlebigplanet. This one won OVER EIGHTY awards including FIFTEEN game of the year awards! InFamous won an editors' choice award from IGN, and an editors' choice award from Gamespot. A 9/10 from game informer, and a 9.2/10 from IGN. These games are only a few games that I PERSONALLY own. I didn't bother to look up any others.

7. Oh, and the PS3 has 1080p FULL HD and HDMI support without buying yet ANOTHER attachment like that adapter doohickey you need for the Xbox to get hd.

8. Speaking of HD awesome graphics, did I mention that PS3 also supports full 3D? Well guess what? It does.

9. The ps3 is way quieter.

10. It doesn’t have a power brick half the size of the whole freaking console (like the Xbox 360 has). Actually, it doesn’t even have any power brick at all.

11. Playstation Home. It has free arcade games if you're bored of the games you already have. Playstation Home is also a way to meet people and build up your friend-list if you're feeling lonely.

12. PSMove is better than Kinect. And don't say Kinect is better just because it’s for the Xbox, and that Xbox is better than PS3 because it just is. Open your eyes - here is some simple math to help you understand:

Camera + microphone = Kinect. Simple, right?

Camera + microphone + buttons + LED tracking system + three-axis gyroscope sensor + three-axis accelerometer + terrestrial magnetic field sensor = PSMove.

Notice how the PSMove has everything the Kinect has and so much more. All combined to help detect pinpoint movements.

13. Speaking of the move, another thing that makes the Kinect fail so hard is that it has NO BUTTONS! That means that it will never ever get anything besides casual party games until Microsoft sees how much they failed, and copies the PSMove by adding an extra controller and of course make you pay even MORE money for yet ANOTHER attachment! PSMove has things like Killzone 3 and Socom 4, and so many more hardcore games that all you Xbox-fanboys love.

Imagine the amazing and immerse gaming experience you will get if you are playing a game in 1080p full HD and 3D with the Playstation Move and full 7.1 surround sound.

14. The PS3's processor has seven cores running at 3.20GHz while the Xbox 360 only has three.

15. The PS3's hard drive is the same as a laptop's and can be read faster by PS3 than the Xbox’ can.

16. The Xbox’ RAM is shared between the CPU and the GPU and clocked at 700 MHz. The PS3 has the same amount of RAM, but it is divided in half so that the CPU and GPU have their own separate RAM. The GPU's ram for the PS3 is clocked at 1.3 GHz, nearly twice as fast as the Xbox. The PS3's CPU RAM is clocked at 3.2 GHz, which is nearly five times faster than the Xbox. The Xbox' RAM stands no chance against the PS3's RAM.

17. If you have a PS3 fat, you will get more USB-ports than the Xbox has.

18. The PS3's disc-drive, besides it being Bluray, is a lot fancier. You got to admit that the plastic DVD table on the Xbox feels pretty dang cheap. The ps3, you just pop the disc in, like the Wii.

19. The ps3 has 6-axis motion sensing controllers. (Not talking about the PSMove, I mean the regular controllers).

20. No modchips or disassembly required to jailbreak/downgrade. Oh, what is that? You have to pay MORE for yet ANOTHER device just to hack it? Pfft, it’s free for the ps3.

21. The ps3 costs less. ESPECIALLY after you spend money on Xbox live, all your batteries and everything else.

22. When an Xbox 360 is attached to a stereo with subwoofers, it hardly uses them. I played halo and CoD in my home theatre with dual 18" subwoofers. No matter how high we turned it up, the Xbox just wouldn’t use them. I have also tested that on other speaker systems too. But the ps3, however, uses the subwoofers properly. Grenades, gunshots, and the heartbeat when your health is low can be felt in your chest.

"On March 23rd, the PS3 will have the capability to connect to Stanford University's Folding@home program, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding and related diseases. The cell processor in the PS3 is roughly 10 times faster than in a PC and this will significantly help study the causes of diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis and many cancers." Here is a link to help you understand how it works:

1. No Red Ring of Death! According to the a survey made by Game Informer Xbox has a failure rate estimated to be 54.2%, when PS3 has a failure rate at 10% according to Gamespot. That makes the PS3 over five times more reliable than the Xbox 360! 1. Who the f*** cares? you can have a new one for free

You will then go into the store and wasting a lot of playing time and wait for a new xbox instead

2. Xbox game-programmers have 4.7 gigabytes of space to program their graphics into. PS3 game-developers can have up to 43 times MORE space to work with. That’s 200 GIGABYTES! You just can’t argue with that until the Xbox decides to copy the PS3 and get a Bluray- drive. 2. Piss off, you can have 250 gigabytes with an xbox360.

3. Bluray-movies. This is a huge plus, as you can watch your movies in full HD. A DVD-movie is just crap compared to a Bluray-movie. 3. You can rent a 1080p movie on xbox360, thats full HD.

All BlueRay disks works on PS3, you can rent all BlueRay disks in the world on the xbox?

4. Don't need to spend extra money on rechargeable batteries for controllers. 4. You dont need on xbox360 either, when you buy the xbox360 you get a -- idk the english word for it lol, since your norwegian:
"its called a lader" trolol
great answer.

5. FREE online gaming. You don't have to pay to play online. If you want to play online with an Xbox 360, you need to buy an Xbox live account. The PS3 has this feature available for free. 5. You get 3 years free xbox live if you buy a new xbox 360 thats costs less than a ps3, and as you mentioned, xbox360 will easily get RROD after 1-2 years, which means that you never run out of xbox live.
lol, a ps3 and xbox cost almost just the same, its becouse of the xbox live it costs more.

6. The PS3’s exclusive games have "easily" topped the game of the year awards. Uncharted 2 - A major critical and commercial success, it was named by Metacritic as the most critically acclaimed game of 2009, and won Game of the Year awards on IGN, Eurogamer, Game Informer, Joystiq, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, AIAS, X-Play, Game Developers Choice Awards and the Spike Video Game Awards for the year 2009.
It also got a 10 out of 10 rating from game informer, and a 5 out of 5 rating from game pro. Now, let’s move to Littlebigplanet. This one won OVER EIGHTY awards including FIFTEEN game of the year awards! InFamous won an editors' choice award from IGN, and an editors' choice award from Gamespot. A 9/10 from game informer, and a 9.2/10 from IGN. These games are only a few games that I PERSONALLY own. I didn't bother to look up any others. 6. Halo series, say no moar.
Halo is just like everything else, a FPS.

7. Oh, and the PS3 has 1080p FULL HD and HDMI support without buying yet ANOTHER attachment like that adapter doohickey you need for the Xbox to get hd. 7. Your wrong lol, xbox360 has full HD and HDMI support.
It's just that if you buy the cables for it. More money out the windowSmile (I might said this wrong lol, hope you understand what i ment)

8. Speaking of HD awesome graphics, did I mention that PS3 also supports full 3D? Well guess what? It does. 8. Yup.

9. The ps3 is way quieter. 9. Srsly lol? let me tell you why, because on ps3 you have to download the game to the hard drive which can take many hours, on xbox you dont have to do that, but if you do it, the xbox will be as quiet as a ps3.
Wrong, i own a xbox, i just uninstalled a bunch of shit to test what you said, didnt work. still as loud as always

10. It doesn’t have a power brick half the size of the whole freaking console (like the Xbox 360 has). Actually, it doesn’t even have any power brick at all. 10. Ok?

11. Playstation Home. It has free arcade games if you're bored of the games you already have. Playstation Home is also a way to meet people and build up your friend-list if you're feeling lonely. 11. Lol yeah, same with xbox 360 marketplace
You have to pay for xbox live then you can access it. So no it have not "free" arcade games Smile
12. PSMove is better than Kinect. And don't say Kinect is better just because it’s for the Xbox, and that Xbox is better than PS3 because it just is. Open your eyes - here is some simple math to help you understand:

PSMove has things like Killzone 3 and Socom 4, and so many more hardcore games that all you Xbox-fanboys love.

Imagine the amazing and immerse gaming experience you will get if you are playing a game in 1080p full HD and 3D with the Playstation Move and full 7.1 surround <---- Yeah, if your a xbox gamer you dont need to imagine that, becuz xbox also have full hd and 3d

14. The PS3's processor has seven cores running at 3.20GHz while the Xbox 360 only has three. <--- Not anymore bitch <3
What about people with old xboxes, do we have to pay for another one to get it? More money out the window.
15. The PS3's hard drive is the same as a laptop's and can be read faster by PS3 than the Xbox’ can. <--- oh my god, 10 seconds less gaming Sad Awesome!
You dont want to play on the xbox eh?
16. The Xbox’ RAM is shared between the CPU and the GPU and clocked at 700 MHz. The PS3 has the same amount of RAM, but it is divided in half so that the CPU and GPU have their own separate RAM. The GPU's ram for the PS3 is clocked at 1.3 GHz, nearly twice as fast as the Xbox. The PS3's CPU RAM is clocked at 3.2 GHz, which is nearly five times faster than the Xbox. The Xbox' RAM stands no chance against the PS3's RAM. 16. No, that is not the truth, it is on the xbox arcade and pro, but not on elite/slim.

17. If you have a PS3 fat, you will get more USB-ports than the Xbox has. 17. if.
He ment that the slim has more usb than ANY xbox have
18. The PS3's disc-drive, besides it being Bluray, is a lot fancier. You got to admit that the plastic DVD table on the Xbox feels pretty dang cheap. The ps3, you just pop the disc in, like the Wii. 18. not anymore.
Its alot cooler than take it in like the xbox, sorry but its the truth.
19. The ps3 has 6-axis motion sensing controllers. (Not talking about the PSMove, I mean the regular controllers). 19. The xbox controller is designed for the hand, the ps3 controller has some random design.
It have that disign to fit the add ons to the controller.
20. No modchips or disassembly required to jailbreak/downgrade. Oh, what is that? You have to pay MORE for yet ANOTHER device just to hack it? Pfft, it’s free for the ps3. 20 . Orly?
rly.
21. The ps3 costs less. ESPECIALLY after you spend money on Xbox live, all your batteries and everything else. 21. Yeah if you have your xbox for 4 years.
If you have buy xbox live one time.
22. When an Xbox 360 is attached to a stereo with subwoofers, it hardly uses them. I played halo and CoD in my home theatre with dual 18" subwoofers. No matter how high we turned it up, the Xbox just wouldn’t use them. I have also tested that on other speaker systems too. But the ps3, however, uses the subwoofers properly. Grenades, gunshots, and the heartbeat when your health is low can be felt in your chest.

I completely object i have both and PREFER the 360 your reasons given are terrible

1,Get a slim
2.Yet XBOX 360 graphics look the same, ? PS3 could use that 200GB but dont.
3.You are speaking to a small number of people who care about fullHD i do but honestly a films a film and full HD isnt a issue for me. Also remember when LG sued sony over there BLURAY yeah good times huh ?
4.Get a rechargeable battery Pack
5 .Reason its free is because its unreliable (Credit card details stolen) <<<remember that And if your not poor im sure you can afford £20 a year
6. You mention PS3 exclusives topping , Do none of you remember GOW3 ? Forza 4 ?
7.INCORRECT the XBOX is already full HD Now you are just making things up
8.Sure 3D is good for those bare minimum who have acquired a 3D TV Which costs nearly £800 ? or more ?
9.Heard of the XBOX 360 Slim , QUIET ?
10. Ok ill give you that the 360 does have a fairly large brick but they made it slightly smaller with the slim
11.Playstation Home is terrible buggy and boring , Want to play that on the 360 get sims 3 ?
12. KINECT is 10 times better PS MOVE > Copy of the WII , Kinect > No controller also has tracking system how do you think it tracks movement .
13.Shooters are terrible with move, KINECT has party games sure , but fun ones EG Fruit ninja it has a lot of games its just if you like them or not
14.And yet the 360 still runs just as quick .
15.And that matters because ?
16.As stated previously i dont see a difference nor does anyone else,
17,PS3 4USB PORTS XBOX 360 SLIM 5 USB ports.
18. Oh wow now we are going into looks are we ? , If your like me and dont give 2 shits about this "Fancy" Disk drive and just want to be assured it plays a game instead of looking "Fancy" then it wont matter? On other aspects of the consoles the 360 Slim "Looks" better.
19.True : Plus : Sixaxis, Minus : Cheap feel to it .
20. Unless you want to that is , And if you want to flash it no modchips are required and oh if we are playing USB/MODCHIPS , XBOX 360 can play new games unlike the jailbroken PS3 which requires True blue. oh im sorry but i believe thats a USB that costs $50 well then.
21/22 Both these statements are incorrect PS3 when first released costed WAY more than the 360 and as for the sound issues i have none with my 360 and it works fine with my woofers Smile

Its always funny how they bring up PSN being hacked, do you remember how Xbox live went down first (11 days) and it is a paid service were they SHOULD have better security and remember how they repaid you 1 month free gold (woohoo rmb if your not poor you can afford the 20 so wtf is one month good for) how did sony reply to a FREE service being hacked? With free themes PS Plus free, 2 free games out of 5 (might be bad games but better then what Microsoft did and they arent really all that bad) Yeah and psn is fine i havent lagged in a VERY VERY long time and my connection isnt that great im from AUS and i only get around 6-10mb download

Giving you PS PLUS was a money making scheme , you get any games using PS PLUS for free you then are no longer available to use once your membership runs out thus causing you to renew your PS PLUS

Oh yeah blu-ray is not that good....that why most big games have multiple discs on xbox and the picture and sound quality is alot better than regular hd. I don't see how its an opinion, when its just plain stupid and wrong. Also kinect is better....for who 12 year olds.

"2.Yet XBOX 360 graphics look the same, ? PS3 could use that 200GB but dont." That is wrong, have you seen uncharted 3, god of war 3 they push the ps3 disc to the limit and look better than any xbox game also mgs4 looks better than all xbox exclusives and it came out in 2008. Saying those 3 games look like something on xbox is just stupid and not true.

PSN went down for a month, and came back more stable and unhackable then the 360 has been in years. :dumb:

HA. Are you seriously kidding me ? , We have to update alot ? we update what once every 6 months PS3 updates once every month think about what your saying before you say it

Okay, so I am tired of all those Xbox-fanboys running around saying their Xbox’ are better than PS3's ... "BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE". Another thing is that most of these Xbox-fanboys have never actually owned a PS3 to be able to fairly compare it. I have both, and honestly the only thing I see better about the Xbox is that the controllers fit your hand better and has more resistance on the analog sticks.
One more little thing is that more people own Xbox’. That is honestly all I can see that is better. But, it has been confirmed that the next generation Playstation will have a completely redesigned controller to fit your hands better. It has not yet been confirmed EXACTLY what it will look like. So, when they fix the controller problem, there will only be one downside left - that more people have Xbox’.
Well, if that’s the only thing better about Xbox’ then soon after all, the PS3 will outsell the Xbox. In fact, gaming analysis have recently stated that the PS3 will outsell rival consoles.

Also, it cannot be ignored the fact that the PS2 user base is still very, very large as it have over hundred million users. The staying power/trust of PS users far outweighs the terrified Xbox user that one day will see their console suffer the Red Ring of Death. So anyway, I decided to put this note up to help solve the Xbox VS ps3 problem. Enjoy.



1. No Red Ring of Death! According to the a survey made by Game Informer Xbox has a failure rate estimated to be 54.2%, when PS3 has a failure rate at 10% according to Gamespot. That makes the PS3 over five times more reliable than the Xbox 360!

2. Xbox game-programmers have 4.7 gigabytes of space to program their graphics into. PS3 game-developers can have up to 43 times MORE space to work with. That’s 200 GIGABYTES! You just can’t argue with that until the Xbox decides to copy the PS3 and get a Bluray- drive.

3. Bluray-movies. This is a huge plus, as you can watch your movies in full HD. A DVD-movie is just crap compared to a Bluray-movie.

4. Don't need to spend extra money on rechargeable batteries for controllers.

5. FREE online gaming. You don't have to pay to play online. If you want to play online with an Xbox 360, you need to buy an Xbox live account. The PS3 has this feature available for free.

6. The PS3’s exclusive games have "easily" topped the game of the year awards. Uncharted 2 - A major critical and commercial success, it was named by Metacritic as the most critically acclaimed game of 2009, and won Game of the Year awards on IGN, Eurogamer, Game Informer, Joystiq, Kotaku, Giant Bomb, AIAS, X-Play, Game Developers Choice Awards and the Spike Video Game Awards for the year 2009.
It also got a 10 out of 10 rating from game informer, and a 5 out of 5 rating from game pro. Now, let’s move to Littlebigplanet. This one won OVER EIGHTY awards including FIFTEEN game of the year awards! InFamous won an editors' choice award from IGN, and an editors' choice award from Gamespot. A 9/10 from game informer, and a 9.2/10 from IGN. These games are only a few games that I PERSONALLY own. I didn't bother to look up any others.

7. Oh, and the PS3 has 1080p FULL HD and HDMI support without buying yet ANOTHER attachment like that adapter doohickey you need for the Xbox to get hd.

8. Speaking of HD awesome graphics, did I mention that PS3 also supports full 3D? Well guess what? It does.

9. The ps3 is way quieter.

10. It doesn’t have a power brick half the size of the whole freaking console (like the Xbox 360 has). Actually, it doesn’t even have any power brick at all.

11. Playstation Home. It has free arcade games if you're bored of the games you already have. Playstation Home is also a way to meet people and build up your friend-list if you're feeling lonely.

12. PSMove is better than Kinect. And don't say Kinect is better just because it’s for the Xbox, and that Xbox is better than PS3 because it just is. Open your eyes - here is some simple math to help you understand:

Camera + microphone = Kinect. Simple, right?

Camera + microphone + buttons + LED tracking system + three-axis gyroscope sensor + three-axis accelerometer + terrestrial magnetic field sensor = PSMove.

Notice how the PSMove has everything the Kinect has and so much more. All combined to help detect pinpoint movements.

13. Speaking of the move, another thing that makes the Kinect fail so hard is that it has NO BUTTONS! That means that it will never ever get anything besides casual party games until Microsoft sees how much they failed, and copies the PSMove by adding an extra controller and of course make you pay even MORE money for yet ANOTHER attachment! PSMove has things like Killzone 3 and Socom 4, and so many more hardcore games that all you Xbox-fanboys love.

Imagine the amazing and immerse gaming experience you will get if you are playing a game in 1080p full HD and 3D with the Playstation Move and full 7.1 surround sound.

14. The PS3's processor has seven cores running at 3.20GHz while the Xbox 360 only has three.

15. The PS3's hard drive is the same as a laptop's and can be read faster by PS3 than the Xbox’ can.

16. The Xbox’ RAM is shared between the CPU and the GPU and clocked at 700 MHz. The PS3 has the same amount of RAM, but it is divided in half so that the CPU and GPU have their own separate RAM. The GPU's ram for the PS3 is clocked at 1.3 GHz, nearly twice as fast as the Xbox. The PS3's CPU RAM is clocked at 3.2 GHz, which is nearly five times faster than the Xbox. The Xbox' RAM stands no chance against the PS3's RAM.

17. If you have a PS3 fat, you will get more USB-ports than the Xbox has.

18. The PS3's disc-drive, besides it being Bluray, is a lot fancier. You got to admit that the plastic DVD table on the Xbox feels pretty dang cheap. The ps3, you just pop the disc in, like the Wii.

19. The ps3 has 6-axis motion sensing controllers. (Not talking about the PSMove, I mean the regular controllers).

20. No modchips or disassembly required to jailbreak/downgrade. Oh, what is that? You have to pay MORE for yet ANOTHER device just to hack it? Pfft, it’s free for the ps3.

21. The ps3 costs less. ESPECIALLY after you spend money on Xbox live, all your batteries and everything else.

22. When an Xbox 360 is attached to a stereo with subwoofers, it hardly uses them. I played halo and CoD in my home theatre with dual 18" subwoofers. No matter how high we turned it up, the Xbox just wouldn’t use them. I have also tested that on other speaker systems too. But the ps3, however, uses the subwoofers properly. Grenades, gunshots, and the heartbeat when your health is low can be felt in your chest.

"On March 23rd, the PS3 will have the capability to connect to Stanford University's Folding@home program, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding and related diseases. The cell processor in the PS3 is roughly 10 times faster than in a PC and this will significantly help study the causes of diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis and many cancers."
