Xbox 360 or ps3

cabla

If you were to choose which console to buy what would you get and why?
Does anybody know when the ps3 is out?

i cant pick, because i dont own both consoles, and the ps3 isnt even out yet, so no one can make a fair choice imo.

i think the PS3 is going to be a superior machine, it will have an integrated bluray player that is the future of HD-TV/DVD, so for that alone it is worth it the 360 will never be able to store the same amount of data on a disc so the graphics will always be only second best to the PS3.

^^^ oh fcuking lol.

Simple answer, get a 360, or wait at least a year for the PS3

Holding out for the PS3 meself.

Fook teh xb0xrz.

they can barely fill dvd-5's atm nevermind dvd-9's , so I dont think the size of blu ray disc's will make a difference for years. The nintendo revolution could have 500gb discs's (joking!) but that doesnt mean its gonna have better graphics. Its up to game developers to make good graphics.

If the ps3 goes the way of the psp, you probably wont even have one this time next yr

You think the PS3 will be better because of the disk drive it has. :rolleyes:

Says who? Toshiba's HD disks have just as much support as bluray and nobody can tell who's gonna win that battle yet. For all we know bluray could be the next betamax!

The ps3 is pure speculation.

Saying the PS3 is superior because of Blu-Ray is pure fanboyism. For all we know Blu-Ray could flop and cost Sony big time supporting an expensive format.

As for the graphics there will be little difference. It's possible the Ps3 *may* have the ability to display more stuff happening at once on screen, or better world physics, but the graphics won't be that different, if at all. The guy responsible for Metal Gear Solid has actually said MGS4 could run on the Xbox 360.

It really, again, boils down to game taste. I bought A 360 for Perfect Dark at the moment, and For Halo 3 in the future. People will buy the ps3 for MGS4, Devil May Cry, or whatever comes out from the already estabhlished franchises. Anybody who buys the ps3 becauses its "better" is an idiot.

And the ps2 wasn't a disappointment to the average gamer but it was a disappoinment in direct comparision to the outlandish claims Sony made regarding the PS2's capabilities. At the time, launch that is, the hype machine delivered specifications that in real life simply didn't exist or were totally untrue compared to the real specs.

I'm not saying the Ps3 isn't going to be immensely powerful but it's not the unstoppable Xbox 360 crushing juggernaunt it's being made out to be.

Well the obvious thing to do is wait until they are both available and then look at the features and games for each. If you are a big fan of movies and have a HDTV and your TV is big enough that you'd notice the difference, the Blu-Ray might turn you. In fairness, there can be 500 of these threads and you'll never get a definitive answer. The 360 has a distinct advantage because you can go out and buy one now, while you'll be waiting at least a few months, maybe over a year for the PS3, by which time the 360 will have a lot more games available.
Personally, I'm buying a PS3 when it comes out because my PS2 is on it's last legs and I still enjoy most of my games. I will still wait a few months after it's release, though.
Seriously, what's the rush?

cabla

Your probably right ice hawk. but i dont know when the ps3 is out?

K.O.Kiki

Haha PS3 fanboys, guess what? You'll never be able to afford a PS3!
Ok, that's mean, but let's recap:

• It'll use the new Cell architecture -- a 7-core chip. Hella expensive.
• It will have Blu-Ray -- a new, (largely) untested medium which is still incredibly expensive.
• It's a Sony product.

And the projected price for this? 500$
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I hear people going on about graphics this graphics that, and tbh, I dont give a **** about the graphics. Yes sure they are a nice extra if the game is good but the gameplay is the most important factor. I think the revolution will have the best games out and I think i might go for that myself.

Remember when Super Mario 3 came out for SNES? The graphics on that sucked cock but its still one of the best games you will find in the world IMO.

And btw, wasnt the XB360 $500?

Dr. Dre

Why not have both? It's the simple solution, owning one doesn't preclude you from owning the other.

Incase you haven't noticed the latest news regarding the PS3 its not looking good.

Analysts are now saying:

Estemated Release Date: Summer 2006 - Japan, November 2006 - USA, March 2007 - Europe

Price: €600-€700

You gotta ask yourself is it worth the wait. It seems that the Spring 2006 release date was just a lie to get ppl to hold off getting the XBox360. I always liked playstations because off the better games[1] but I have really got fedup with Sonys consistant 3rd class treatment of Europe in regards to release dates. Look at the PS2, PSP also.
I dont think Japanesse companies get what it means to be a multinational company in the age of the Internet the way American ones do and I hope Microsoft take a big bite out off Sony's market share this time round.

[1] This is a personal view based on games that I have played on both consoles so please dont bother replying with a load of fanboy rubibsh about how XBox games kicks Playstation games ass.

People are comparing two consoles - one of which hasn't even come out yet?

Crazy if you ask me. Buy the 360, play it for the next year and a half while saving up for the PS3 and then have this discussion on which one's the best around then?

It like comparing a 05 Bmw that you have driven with a 07 Mercedes that you have seen the brochure of!

Dont be at yourself

Regarding the speculation regarding price and release dates of PS3:

Remember before the launch of PSP? Estimates of a $500+ price point and dates ranging within the span of over a year - and these were coming from heads of publishers and developers. So I wouldn't totally write-off a launch before summer at a reasonable price.

sweno

From what I've heard they haven't settled on a price yet and if the past consoles are anything to go buy the price won't be fixed till just before the launch. I can tell you tho that whatever the price Sony are losing money Big Time in the region of about 10 million (give or take!) an account of the blu-ray player & the sheer spec of the machine. Their putting serious money into it in the hope it'll pay off.
