Xbox 360 Vs. Playstation 3

sainit · 21-02-2007, 12:23 PM

Hello Friends,

We all have heard about XBOX 360 and PLAYSTATION 3. But still there are some confusion like which one is good and what r the difference between two.

So i m putting this thread so that we can discuss pro/con of both of these here.

In my personal view i will go for - Plyastation 3 because this is compitable with CD/DVD/BlueRay, Wi-Fi is enabled, Game through internet are free. These all are not present in XBOX360.

Thanks

I too prefer the PS3 over Xbox 360 but the PS3 costs a hell lot more than the Xbox360.So price acts as a deterrent for PS3.

deathvirus_me · 21-02-2007, 03:39 PM

Well , PS3 is actually more advanced than the X360 , and some game developers have indeed agreed that its quite tough to cope with the new architecture that the PS3 uses .. so the current gen games are not able to really utilize what the PS3 has to offer .. i blindly support PS3 over X360 ... and just waiting for its game library to fill up .. definitely getting one then ..

sainit · 21-02-2007, 03:46 PM

assasin as u r saying price of Playstation 3 are much more than xbox360.

But if we look in long term then we found that price will be same as for xbox360.

xbox360 with WiFi
Xbox360 with Internet Gaming (for which u have to pay yearly basis)
Xbox360 without Blueray plyer which is a must in future.

So cost is enough but worth the features provided by Playstation 3.

XBox 360 has HD-DVD.

I have nothing to worry because i have no plans to waste money on dumb consoles.

Isnt this the wrong section

sam9s · 21-02-2007, 05:35 PM

From a programer's point of view game development for x360 if easier than PS3. PS3 tecnically on paper is advanced than 360.

Also when it comes to better bang for bucks 360 is way ahead....

Pathik · 21-02-2007, 07:13 PM

get a xbox 360... u dont require that much speed neways...

joey_182 · 21-02-2007, 10:09 PM

True. But sadly no one agree to that. Value founder itself said that PS3 should stop producing and start a new console. This is the last Playstation that the world will ever see. PS 3 have number of problems with their hardware and so many bugs in the software. PS3 is not worth the money.

Yes I agree, no matter how hard it sounds, it is the truth.

Thing is (they say) most games will be ported to Xbox 360 as well as PS3, so the game developers are not going to go through the trouble of making any more changes to the games architecture so that the PS3 fully utilises it. Both platforms will look the same so what's the point of the extra power? However, I would buy a PS3 for its blu-ray capability...but then again..

Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 Graphics Comparison

Xbox 360 sucks big-time. These consoles turned in by MS are defective. My friend had a 360 and it died on him within a few weeks. It has the famous "red ring of death" (google it up, if you don't believe) showing up every few weeks. Consoles have to be turned in and MS takes a cool £130 for replacement (outside the warranty support). Burns a hole in your pocket and Bill earns his money.

PS3 wins hands down. Price is definitely a detterent. Have anybody tried Wii. Games are limited now, more so in India. But the fun factor is maxed out. Tried Wii sports and am addicted. Good value for money as well. Has anybody considered a PSP as well???

hackers2005.3721 · 25-06-2007, 10:19 PM

i think xbox 360 is bbeeter for value for money

whyrus · 25-06-2007, 10:28 PM

But if it breaks down on the next day of the end of your warranty period, it is not much value for money. Also I've heard of instances where the consoles have died down within a week of its purchase. Well if value of money means a short term option, go for it...

Even if it does and you get a new one....it still would land up less expensive than PS3, not to forget the game cost. PS3 is in all aspects....mmm well how should I put it.....Sucks!!!, Its a superior machine ...just on papers otherwise games on 360 looks as good as on PS3.
PS3 is also losing alot of its exculsive titles which will be coming to the much cheaper 360 and Wii. You can get a Wii AND a 360 for the price of a PS3. The PS3 is harder to program than the Wii or 360.

whyrus · 25-06-2007, 11:11 PM

I'm not a Sony fanatic but trust me - PS3 on a HDTV looks outstanding. I've seen graphics from 360 as well. Doesn't come even close. But I guess there is no point in discussing the two as HDTV will take some years to get to India. You are absolutely right - The price sucks. But a few months and some competition from Wii would bring the price down. Wii rocks in the meantime.

I think we are all a bit impatient.

Understand that the console called PS3 has been released by Sony and not any 3rd right electronics company. Sony would have certainly seen it's future before releasing it. Otherwise, why do you think, they took all the trouble of pre-launch were they were plagued with monetery issues decide to release the PS3?

You should also remeber that PS2 just kept getting better and you have to agree that games that were released a few months back for PS2 are far more impressive and superior than the one that were released along with the release of PS2. The point is, only the latter games were able to utilize the full potential of the PS2 hardware.

You must remember that Sony has its own game development section which has time and again created jawdropping games which has been able to show the true power of their consoles. So, even if other game developers are not going to go through the trouble to making architecture changes (which I don't agree with and which they will), then Sony will themselves create games for their console!

We must understand that PS3 comes from the very 2 legendary consoles PS1 and PS2 and will continue the same legacy! A lot of history and hands on gaming experience with both PS1&PS2 will help us understand the true value and potential that Sony's consoles have.

Microsoft has taken the easy way into the market by using existing system hardware to create their consoles rather than coming up with new innovations. We must understand that the first XBox was nothing more than a compactly packed PentiumIII. And not much innovation is there is the new XBox360 either which uses normal processors which again limits the capability of games. I respect and appreciate for what the XBox360 is. But one thing it can't become is the PS3.

XBox360 as mentioned earlier, due to the use of existing hardware is limiting game developers to dream big and not giving us the true meaning of imaginative creativity! PS3 on the other hand has opened up a whole new world for game developers to explore for the coming years where it's going to take gaming to a whole new level. No wonder the XBox has been plagued with hardware issues, as it's nothing more than an assembled PC. The PS3 on the other hand is a product of 7-10 years of reasearch and development, and it is laymans nature to poke fun at such a marvel of machine!

It is just too early for all of us to lambent at the PS3, when there haven't even been enough titles released for it so far. I'm sure, Sony has it's plan up it's sleeves and will put it out at the right time. Because they have proven themselves in this matter of reliability and passion!

I can bet on one thing! Within the next 2-3 years, Sony is going to gain back it's lost ground in terms of sales with XBox360 and will regain it's credibility as the ultimate gaming console!

aaagh!! another PS3 fanboy......The entire explanation seems more to convince yourself rather than us that PS3 is still there.......It already has lost the entire battle and everything whatsoever is left.................... forget gaining back it's lost ground in terms of sales and credibility with 360.

With PS2 and 1 yes it had the crown but definately not with PS3 its same as AMD couple of years ago before the present king C2D was launched.

Here........................ some links for your PS3's "credibility as the ultimate gaming console!"

Dude.. I'm not a PS3 'Fanboy'. I have been seeing this more than you know. I've been in the gaming world more than you can think back of. Infact, I'm one of the semi-finalist in the AXN GameMAX Gaming challenge. Maybe you missed that on TV! So, I guess you are rather being a PS3 'HATEBOY'.

I am not critisizing any other game console, but you are just jumping before the boat has reached the shoreline! Learn to be patient my friend. And you yourself will agree to what Sony has achieved few years down the line.

Maybe, you shouldn't take out your GUN before the Target has arrived! You're just shooting into thin air. Wait and watch!

And maybe you forgot of Sony plans to start manufacturing Game Discs in India which are further going to bring down cost of Games below the 1K mark! Let's see who's Games are going to sell more then!

Lol ... X360 is great not because PS3 is bad .. lol .. Game developers themselves agreed on the fact the PS3 architecture is a bit too advanced for them to start making games immediately .. plus a direct port wouldn't work either .. this is something similar to the time when PS2 was launched .. people had doubts about its success .. and look at our time .. the PS2 still rockz ... unlike the Xbox which was shortly followed by the X360 .. the PS3 has enough power , and Sony made it pretty clear their console will not be outdated for quite some time

..

Just wait and watch .. the first gen. of games for the PS3 hardly made the console work

... wait for GT HD ... and game that'll follow .. particularly the ones from Sony's workhouse itself

... u'r entitled to a total new experience

..

Oh man the champion!...hail to him!!!!!!......neeway not getting in to much of an argument.....

I never said xbox is better or vice versa.....its a simple logical fact that at the moment 360 wins hands down when its comes to price performance ratio.

I have tried SONY PS3 at sony world.
I've also tried Xbox360.

I always give much importance to the technical spec. while selecting product but my final decision always depends on my eyes, ears and mind.

AND What i feel....................
XBOX360 is no way near the PS3..............

With a difference of nearly 20K not only 360 is near....... its way ahead............I wonder which games you compared to come to this conclusion.....

Dude, if your signature is your system configuration, then I dont think a difference of 20K would bother you!

And yes, we all have different opinions and views on this matter. But like I said before, we just need to wait and watch.

I would like to ask you just one question. If you came to know that you can get, say a possible GeForce 10 series card even before it came out in the market, would you spend the extra bit of money to get hold of it?

I guess that 90% of us would say yes! although we have no idea how different in terms of specs and performance the card is going to be. It's the belief that we have that it's going to be better and we have that belief because we know GeForce Cards from ages.

The same applies to anything. Be it XBOX360 or the PS3. But for the PS3, we have the belief that it will excell exactly like it predecessors.

You are just looking at what you see right now in front of your eyes. I agree that right now, there is a lot of disadvantage with PS3 to the XBOX360. Look into the future. Don't be shallow. Wait and watch and the tides will change!

And maybe there is going to be another XBOX say XBOX360+360= XBOX720 even when the PS3 is shining with it's glory! The PS3 is future proof but sadly the XBOX360 isn't. And like I said, that 20K shouldn't bother you.

Buddy money is dear to every one(leaving a couple of exceptions) even for those who can afford it and specially for those who are earning the hard way. Coming to my system specs, how I managed to build a system I wished for; is something only I know, If the specs looks good (n expensive) that does not in any way mean that I have oodles of money to spare.................so that was not a good statement I might say and I think others would agree.

I'd say no....... not because I dont trust geforce series..its just because I know in a couple of months the price is gonna come down (as I said money is dear to every one.... including me) plus I would have atleast some bunch of people around the world to provide a practicle review of the card..........and I am sure most of the people atleast in India would prefer to wait.....

Well atleast you agree......... that right now I am correct........we will see in future as well(If we are still here). If PS3 comes back well ....I will bow to you definately. I; and I dont know how many others would be proven wrong.........lets see....

Don't take it that way. I didn't mean to say that you got oodles of money to spare. The real meaning of what I said is in the statement you made yourself - "Coming to my system specs,........only I know"

See, you said it yourself! Don't get me wrong. I'll clarify it.

The system specs Do not look cheap nor moderate. Anyone would agree. And like you said, wanting to get what you wished for, only you know what you went through. But at the end, it's an expensive config, which means you spend the money no matter what to get the config you always wished for! Same way, people wouldn't bother spending that money to get the PS3, because that's what they all wish for. This makes money irrelevant in some way, and that's the only real negative of the PS3. Price!

So, there is no more point saying that it's too expensive, that's why no one will buy it. That's just another excuse not to get something you don't like! Because like you've proven in your case, money is secondary when the aim is to get something you always wish for.

So, you have to agree that, there's very little left to argue about the PS3 other than with the price! everything else, it supercedes the XBOX360 by a million miles!
