PS3 or Xbox 360? Pros and Cons of Each?
 

Thanks in advance :thumbsup

for your kid?

Correct :thumbsup

for your kid, maybe xbox, more online friends. PS3, blueray, higher quality

Uncharted trilogy and The Last of Us on PS3 are great!

PS3 for the the exclusives!

If you buy a PS3 with 3.55 firmware off ebay you can easily install custom firmware then fill a 2TB external USB drive with your game rips.

I still buy hard copies but its way more convenient this way. Ironically Sony has made made more money off me than they would have if the PS3 was never jail-broken.

They both play Minecraft, so you're good either way. Kids only care about Minecraft.

Love my Xbox360 but then again the only game I play on it is Grand Theft Auto (3, 4, 5). Will upgrade to Xbox One next spring.

PS3, I had an xbox360 and it spent more time being repaired at MS than sitting at my house. anyway, I don't know why but the PS3 just felt better as a games machine.

Just got a PS4 and the graphics are astounding!

We don't play ours much, no time, lol. But I do feel that the ps3 is more of an adults games machine :2 cents:

Is this thread from 2007?

Beat me to it !! :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

No, but I haven't told the kids they're in 2014 :2 cents:

Atari of course.

I like xbox, I support American products first
Now my brother likes playstation, I dont have time to play any more

Playstation has tons of exclusives...and really good ones. Uncharted and God of War series are not to be missed if you love games.

Xbox has Halo and Gears of War...and Gears of War.

I never owned an Atari ST, haven't even tried one come to think of it.But i always thought of the Amiga as being the better machine(although i've never had the chance to compare them).

So my vote goes to Amiga.

:thumbsup

Not many games around for the PS4, so if I was to buy 1 console I'd probably get the PS3.

A lot of decent cheap games.

Very true, I like to stay at least 1 chapter behind to avoid the rip-off prices :2 cents:

Main thing better with the Amiga was the sound board :2 cents:

The xbox is more of a hackers machine. Easier to jailbreak. The controller feels better in your hands, a better online experience, although the Xbox Live membership isn't (completely) free like the PS3 community is. Some games (very few) are in full HD on PS3 and only 720P on an Xbox360. A handfull have a higher framerate because the PS3 is just more stable and better hardware. PS3 has no 'Red Ring of Death' and bugs like that. Graphics wise, some games look better on MS, some on Sony, but the difference is hardly noticable. I own an Xbox because it was cheaper for me to aquire one.

pretty sure they have better games than that as well...


newer ones don't have the ring of death.. well unless maybe you plan on playing 8 hours a day..

O M G! I loved my Atari 2600 back in the day! HAHA I remember having to slam the cartridges against the palm of your hand to get heavily used games to work.. Then again I'm so old I had the original Pong console..

I've had my same PS3 since the summer of 2006 when it first came out and it still works like the day I bought it. I'm not so much a gamer but I use it as my main blu ray player daily. I've thought about getting the PS4 but really since I'm not a gamer I'll just buy a new blu ray.. But I am thinking about getting the Wii U next month.

I'd go with PS3 for the reliability cause really they both have the same games and they are both outdated and prolly dirt cheap now.

that and plants vs zombies

Surely wehateporn wouldn't purchase an Xbox360 and support Bill Gates/Microsoft.

Don't you remember, wehateporn?

You claimed that Bill Gates was a part of the 'criminal' vaccine industry , he was also trying to control the world using food/GMOs and that a senior adviser at Microsoft is a part of the Bilderberg group, an organisation that is trying to create a global government.

Surely, knowing all this, you wouldn't dare give money to Microsoft, right? ... Right?

Well, I still use Windows so I'm far from perfect, but yes I had been thinking the same to avoid evil Bill. I know Standard Oil New York are still evil in their own way, but they are clearly the lesser of the evils on this occassion :2 cents:
