Microsofts Xbox 360 has been on the market for just over two years now, and what i have seen a website Admin and a general gamer is that, the Nintendo Wii is now left out of the equation, and now fanboys are arguing about which is better, PS3 or The xbox 360.
Lets see the features that both have to offer side by side:
| PS3 FEATURES | How Xbox 360 Levels Up
|
| Blue ray disk Player | HD DVD player (discontinued) |
| bluetooth | no |
| HDMI | no |
| Cordless controllers | Yes |
| Motion Sensitive | no |
| Memory Card Reader | no |
| free game/psp downloads/trailer | Yes |
| No need for add ons | Need one For HD DVD |
| Support for 1080i (only console that can do this) | no |
| doesn't scrath discs | scratches them (as picture shows) |
| Browse Internet | no |
| up to seven players | up to four players |
| connect to pc (via 3rd party software) | yes |
| media server | yes |
| wifi | no |
Scratch disck (proof)
Ok, so your just the gaming type...... You just want to play games and you dont worry too much about the features, well the disk scratching is going to effect your gaming, so is the "ring of fire" which is when the xbox breaks down due to faulty hardware (this happens to 40% of all xbox 360s)
Still if that doesnt turn youoff, there is still the fact that the xbox 360's games fit onto a puny DVD disk that can hold around 5GB, The ps3 puts it's games on to a Blu Ray Disk which can hold 50GB That is More Than 10 times as much as the xbox 360 can!!!!
well, what does all of this mean, well, basically in the future , when the xbox's dvds run out of space the
developers for the ps3 will be able to continue on working at their game, meaning longer, levels, more extras, better quality graphics and sound and most of all..... better gaming quality.
Ok the old duke, that most Xbox fans will say to you. The price difference.
lets say that you have a £200 budget and you want a games console, the xbox 360 seems like the best choice, but when you look at the hidden cost, it amounts to much more.
