You will get many biased replies...including mine.

360.
I just like it better because it was cheaper when I bought it. They are also cheaper to get.
The bad thing is that the online play is not free, but I have friends who say xbox live is better.

The ps3 has free online play, but I have heard it is not as good as live. I don't have anything else to say about this.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

Rex,

It is a matter of opinion. I consider myself a major gamer. I have all 3 major systems, Xbox 360, PS3, and WII. I will give you my assessment about which one is the best, but that may not be the one you want, so read below.

Xbox 360 (my Favorite)

most extensive games library between the 3 systems. very few major game releases will not be released on the 360. it is considered the leader of the 3 for hardcore gamers, all things considered. The Xbox LIVE experience is the online play, and although it is $50 a year, it far exceeds anyting PS3 or Wii have been doing even though theirs is free. So if you like to play games of all types, sports, first person shooters, Strategy, and Even RACING games, and you have any interest in online play, XBOX 360 is the way to go.

The BIG negative to this system, and it is a big negative, is the issue with what the industry has called "The Red Ring of Death" This is a hardware failure that has happened to me now 3 times. I pay a little extra for the extended warranty and just take the broken one into the store and they give me a brand new one. Microsoft has however stepped up recently and is offering a 3 year warranty on this harwdware failure, and will repair your system if it occurs. The good thing about this, is Microsoft has come out and siad they feel they are getting on top of this issue, and are manuafacturing the systems so this is not as much of an issue as it once was. So the Xbox 360 is (IMO) the best choice between the three consoles, but you are taking a risk with the history of the system. Let's just hope these issues have been corrected.

PS3- Probably the most well constructed system, and has the most potential of any of the 3. Or course, the included Blu-Ray player may interest some, and if that is something you would utilize, then maybe the PS3 is the system of choice. I have not personally made the switch to Blu-ray yet, so that was not an inlfuence in me purchasing the PS3 for that reason. Hardware wise, it is the most powerful of the 3 choices, but I think the best is yet ot come for this system. Most major releases can be bought on both the 360 and the PS3. A downside to the PS3 (right now), is that most games are still being made for the Xbox 360, and are then being "ported" over to the PS3. This could change, but the developers are a little behind for PS3 at this point. Sony makes a great product, and I havent heard of any major hardware issues since its release 2 years ago.

The big negative with Ps3 is online play. It is not nealry as streamlined as Xbox, but it is free. Many games can be very slow online, and the whole interface is hard to navigate. (PS3, does include an internet browser, although I've never used it)

Wii- (even though you didnt ask, someone may wonder)

Wii, is the fastest selling of the 3, but is also the least sophisticated as far as hardware is concerned. You are also not going to find as many of the "Hardcore console games that you would find on 360 or PS3. This is more of a "novelty" system. It is perfect for families who like to play together, and perfect for families with younger children. This system is perfect for party get togethers, and gatherings. No major concerns with the hardware have been documented.

All in all, any one you choose, I believe you can enjoy and get a lot of use out of. Hopefully, with my info above, you can decide which one is best for you. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.. I promise I have more of a life than video games...HAHA :checkered:

Ps3 hands down

didnt we jus talk about this last nite....lol.......

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

As for the RRD of death on the 360. I have the newest generation of the 360, it supposedly has better cooling and better chip to prevent the RRD. My 360 is on at most 2 hours a week, so it isn't as much as hardcore gamers. Also, suppsoedly the 360 will have Blu ray player in it soon also. I hope they produce an add on drive like they had for the HDDVD drive.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

Playstation by far.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

I would not count on a Blu-ray player add on for the 360. Sony Owns Blu-ray and there is no way they will let Microsoft get their hands on that format! A lot of money would exchange hands for the Blu-ray to come to XBOX. Although, it would be nice, I am not sure why Sony would want to allow Microsoft to reap the benefits of folks looking for an extra reason to buy a 360 over a PS3.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

Well I'm stuck in the early 2000's still. :loser: I have an original Nintendo, Nintendo64, and a PS2. Most of my friends have 360's, only a couple people I know have the PS3...

From what I've seen and heard, the 360 is the way to go and online play is easier and there are more people/friends to play with/against.

Either way... Compared to my Nintendo, N64 and even my PS2, the games are so insanely detailed and realistic it's scary. :O:

When a new game comes out that has traditional sprints, midgets, and silver crowns I'll update my system. :thumb

What does this have to do with racing?!

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

I work for Sony and we manufacture PS3 software, and Bluray. It gives me $$$ to go racing.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

you just poped her bubble.:O:

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

My vote Xbox 360, I got to play online with a friend and I've been happy with it. I am a long time Playstation guy and it took me a long time to even buy a new system I still have my ps2 but after looking around I switched to Xbox. I find that there are more games for the Xbox, and my friend just traded his PS3 in to get an xbox and he said it's better.

Atari Pong FTW!!! :thumb

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

PS3 all the way!
Ordered Motorstorm 2 yesterday, great racing game. Love playing the first Motorstorm.
Also PS3 is a very good Blu-Ray player, and upconverts regular DVD's to HD.

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

I will go with my old ps2 and the WoO sprintcar game. YOU WANTED THE BEST. WELL YOU GOTTEM FOUR ABREAST. But i do play the hell out of HALO on the 360

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

No doubt that the Wii is fun to play. But there is usually partying involved,

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360

But i do have a buddy that hacked his xbox and made it play burnt games.. and didnt pay a dime for it.. also can still play online.. but i still like my ps3

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

definitely billy, i wish the ps3 had a kickass sprint car game, untill then ill play my ps2 woo game , saturday night speedway, and motorstorm on ps3

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

Well to answer your question, I've got a "SPRINT CARS 2 - SHOWDOWN AT ELDORA" racing game. It looks like a pretty cool game. You can race Late Models, Winged Sprint, Pro Stock, Tractor Pull, Wingless Sprint. I am sure there are many more racing games.

This game I have is for Playstation 2. Bad thing. I don't even own a Playstation 2. How much $$ is a Playstation 2?

Re: Playstation 3 vs. X Box 360
 

If you can find one, cheap. If you can find one new...maybe 100. Used at most 50 for the console.
