(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Right I have gotten both consoles Xbox and PlayStation, in my opinion i think that Xbox is far better than PlayStation if we look at it from different perspectives

1 Social - The Xbox is far more sociable than the PlayStation, with the PlayStation the only real people who ever talk are either continually arguing or are playing some pretty distorted noises down the mic.

2 Games (exclusives) - the game exclusives on the Xbox compared to the PlayStation 3 in my opinion are far more superior, for one Halo, this is one of the biggest selling games ever, it is exclusive to Xbox, Halo 2 was still being played even when Halo Reach was released, then gears of war, It is indescribable the amount of time and effort that must have went into making this game, it was so unbelievable, you can play the campaign alone multiple times without being bore.

3 Freebies - PlayStation take a starting lead here with there free online multi-player, yes this is good but Xbox use the money we spend on there subscription to help improve our gaming experience. Last FM Xbox exclusive is a good touch, it is free and can get you into some very good bands. Then Xbox further takes the leads with there Facebook/Twitter both have been put on the Xbox dashboard and are working in collaboration to improve Xbox, this is a good touch so you can check your Facebook and Twitter without even moving.

4 Cross platforming - Xbox as a Microsoft product have a couple of games that can be played cross platformed like Gears of war one and two can both be played against p.c gamer. Games like shadow run as well.

5 Collaborations and sponsorship - Xbox teamed up with Call of Duty so that Xbox gets maps before the PlayStation will, which means Xbox gets to see what its like a good period of time before PlayStation. Xbox signed up with Zune, Zune is a massive Movie store that allows you to stream from Zune directly to your Xbox console. The final to were the additions of Twitter and Facebook, this came as a surprise to everyone, but it was a good surprise.

6 Quality - If we are talking about directly Gaming quality then it is more or less even as Xbox and PlayStation both have 1080p HD but if we go into movie detail i do have to admit that PlayStation is better than Xbox for movie because of the blue ray.

7 Updating - Generally the idea is to continually update a console so that it become better than the others in the market, and Xbox does just that, Xbox release a new update at least once a month. they can change there dashboard around, add in cool new features even voice recognition downloads soon. While PlayStation do not update as much.

This is just my opinion - Coyler Upside Down Happy

They are both the same in General. I played a few games on XBL and most players seem chill. I haven't had an issue/problem hearing kids screaming and whatnot. On ps3 on the other hand they're many kids screaming and whining. I still prefer PSN over XBL. I liked it more, but they are both the same.

I have both consoles. I don't like either of them better, I just tend to play the Xbox 360 the most because it is the one I have the most games for, and because all of my friends are on there. I do think the community is better on Xbox, but that the exclusives are better on the PS3. Uncharted, games like Heavy Rain are games that I find really interesting even if I'm a huge fan of Halo.

heres an example.


Ps3 players with mics are usually calm and just talk about their day. (what i`ve seen since i joined psn.)

2. Ps3 exclusives (old and new) :
Infamous 1 + 2.
Killzone 3.
LittleBigPlanet 2.
MotorStorm Apocalypse.
Ratchet & Clank : All 4 One.
Resistance 3.
Uncharted 3: Drake`s Deception.
Gran Turismo 5.
Heavy Rain.
Super Stardust HD.
God Of War.
MGS4.
SOCOM.
MAG.
WarHawk.
StarHawk.
Portal 2. (exclusive support)
Tomb Raider.
ModNation Racers.
Demon`s Souls.

3. Xbox=pay 2 play Psn=FREE online play.
"this is a good touch so you can check your Facebook and Twitter without even moving." umm.. thats just called lazy. facebook and twitter were not designed for consoles.. they were just a website for pc`s.
On the ps3.. you have a web browser. enough said.

4. Cross Platforming, not really a big exclusive.

5. Xbox gets the C.o.d maps before ps3. yes. now (i had a feeling this would come.) Now. What they call a "exclusive" .. i call beta testing. the amount of glitches you see on youtube within 30days of the exclusive period is insane.. they are doing ps3 gamers a favour and showing them so treyarch can patch them before they come to ps3 (opinion of a non-glitcher.) even the big youtubers have said this (NextGenTactics) and they have a xbox aswell.

+ Xbox gamers gloat about that, "oh we have the maps before you" yea.. big deal. go on kids.. go find the glitches :y:

6. Quality. Ps3 rapes xbox in quality. RAPES. ps3 games/movies look sharp and crisp. unlike xbox UGH.

7. "change their dashboard around". you said it. the problem with xbox is... they just keep changing their main layout.. shame they havn`t got a fixed concept unlike ps3.. which has had the same concept since its release (which is a good thing. in MY opinion.)
"Playstation does not update much." yea because sony dont want their product to be like a pc.

Thats my opinion.


xbox fanboys are funny when they bring up game exclusives. because they only have halo2,3, and odst, gears of way series and alan wake while ps3 has a ton more. and the uncharted series is better than all 3 of the xbox games.

Netflix (for me) Is MUCH faster and has MUCH better streaming quality. Ps3 Is a sort of anti-social console and In my opinion, Is better than Xbox. This thread has console war written all over It, not the best idea.

Why Xbox is better my opinion (I've Played on both)

1. Better online experience - do you know why it's paid for? It's better. We have party chats + private chats we can talk to friends no matter what game they're playing you have to be in the same game with them.
2. Ps3's security - is a joke it's been hacked over 2 times and shut down for over a month? Enjoy having your credit cards stolen (never happened on xbox)
3. Rrod - (are you serious? this hasn't been around since the original xbox 360s (I've had my xbox 360 since the first month it came out and it still runs perfect)\
4. Game exclusives - Halo > any game ps3 will ever make (there's a reason it sold more then any ps3 exclusive game)
5. Social - Everyone talks it's great for talking to people. Who wants to play a game where no one talks? (the ps3 doesn't even come with a mic)
6. Price - The ps3 is $300 the xbox 360 is $200 (you're paying an extra $100 for that blu-ray that only costs $80)
7. Blu-ray - the only thing the ps3 has for it and personally I own a blu-ray so i'll take my better console + a blu-ray over a worse one + a blu-ray.
8. Controllers - seriously how do you like the ps3 controller? It's garbage the xbox 360 is so much nicer

Bottom Line - You can make all the reasons you want but let's be honest the reason 95% of people buy consoles is to play online and enjoy it. Xbox 360 is safe + secure it won't get hacked like ps3 has multiple times. You won't get your info stolen again like the ps3. The social is better more people talk because it comes with a mic. Xbox has party chats + private chats you have to be in the same game as someone to talk to them what a joke. Considering no one ever has a mic.

I have both consoles and I prefer the ps3. Xbox I get the same issue that I had with WOW, I'd feel like I had to play it because I was paying for the subscription even if I didn't really want to and why would I want to pay when I can get it for free. Plus ps3 has more variety in games and better exclusives.

Xbox 360 should just admit defeat and change to blu-ray discs.

BTW there are assholes on both consoles, you can't escape them. It's an epidemic.
