here are my pros and cons based on facts. i recommend the PS3 over Xbox 360
PROS for PS3
* Internet broswer
* Blu-ray won the format war
* ALL games are on Blu-ray discs (that’s a whopping 50 Gigs per disc!), allowing great games to be born!
* VERY low failure rate
* Great connectivity between the PS3, the PSP, and the computer
* VERY quiet fan
* Small, light controllers
* Sixaxis wireless controller for certain games
Cons:
* Few great games, but plenty of great games coming soon
* Not as many people on the PSN compared to XBL
* Demos, add-ons, and such are on the PSN after the XBL Marketplace
* Some (very few) PS3s have disc drive problems that don’t read the discs properly or will not accept the discs at all
Now for the Xbox 360
Pros:
* XBL has many people and a great connection
* You can own noobs online while listening to your favorite music!
* Beats PS3 in overall sales due to the fact that it was released over a year before the PS3
* Great games
* Demos, add-ons, and such are on the XBL Marketplace before the PS3
* Rumble in controllers
Cons:
* WAY too many callbacks and problems (RRoD, destroying of discs, etc.)
* If you bought everything to as closely match the features of the PS3 it’d cost almost the price of the system itself (HD DVD drive, wireless hook-up, XBL payments) — these things add up!
* HD DVD lost the format war
* All games are on regular DVD discs (a measly 5 Gigs of memory), which greatly limits games
* WAY too high of a failure rate — about 17%, in fact
* Large, heavy, roaring jet engine fans!
I myself am a PlayStation owner and lover, and was trying not to be biased. I gave facts and only facts.
