Hardware wise they are pretty similar. I reckon it will be down to what console has the most diverse range of games. And since they have consoles prior to them there will be plenty of games for each.

There wont be much difference in performance so the perofmance factor isn't a great issue..

I can't really decide as of yet.

*NOTE: I love the specs on them. I may actually just get both consoles in the end :P*

Playstation 3.

Quote:

System memory:
PS3 - 256Mb XDR
XBOX 360 - 512 MB UMA (Shared with GPU)

Video Memory:
PS3 - 256Mb
XBOX 360 - 512 MB UMA (Shared with CPU)

Just a little addition...

The PS3's system memory is XDR RAM @ 3.2GHZ (runs at the same speed as the processor), and it's video memory is GDDR3 RAM @ 700MHZ, while the Xbox 360's memory is only GDDR3 RAM @ 700MHZ.

The PS3 will support/use Blu-Ray BD-ROMs, each with a capacity of about 50GB (double layered), as far as I've seen, the PS3 is the only one out of the two that will support a next generation media/disk.

I would say the PS3. This is because of the little things that the 360 skimp on, like the limited backward compatibility, the HDD (that shouldn't be an option), etc., and the face plates sound like a lame gimmick.

And 7 controller "ports" for the PS3? SCHWING! No more buying multi-taps.

PS3 all the way for me.

Although, I must admit that it's rather hilarious that Microsoft is putting a PowerPC chips in their gaming console. So much for any thought of backwards compatibility regarding previous XBOX games, eh?

Yeah I feel the same way lol Razz

When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.

However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

Also, with the PS3, you can also plug in two HDTVs to a single PS3 (I've seen 30" HDTVs for about $800-900.). This would be awesome with offline multiplayer, you could play splitscreen without the splitscreen.

PS3 if I had to choose. I'd probably spend the money for one to upgrade my computer though.

All I can say is that finally consoles are coming out of the dark ages in the area of high performance hardware. (In comparison to PC's)

Not always, and consoles generally have games that you can't play on a PC. The Ace Combat series that Namco makes for the Playstation line, for example.

I'm not such a big fan of consoles myself, but thats because I dont like controllers since I'm a fan of Shoot em up games, so I find controllers hard to shoot with when I'm trying to shoot someone and I'm aiming all around the ceiling and floor etc... I love my mouse ^_^

it's so easy to aim and shoot with a mouse as compared to a console controller, though. I don't think there's any achievement in being good at that, unless you are a 40 year old housewife who just got into games with no prior experience.

The playstation series is more popular than the Xbox and has been since the original playstation (when Xbox didn't even exist) and the PS3 seems to boast more than the Xbox 360 here, apart from their system and video memory. I'm sure the console will make up for that though.

Smart move considering the gamecube controller was the best out of all the current generation consoles.

I probably won't get either of these, I'd rather a new computer. After the new Zelda comes out for GC that's probably the end of consoles for me.

From what I've seen, the PS3's system and video memory is better then what the Xbox 360 has.

I'm not a fan on consoles, personally... but I must agree with ACK here. Take a look at Halo: Combat Evolved, for the PC. It sucks ass. I mean, whomever thought that you should keep the vehicle driving in the same direction that the camera is facing should be shot on sight. It's horrible.

First off, the new xbox has 3 CPUs as far as I know. And who the fuck needs 7 controllers? Do you plan to play with 7 people splitscreen? lol.

No. I plan to play five players by myself using my left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot, and chin.

And so what if the new XBOX has 3 CPUs? That doesn't mean it's going to be faster unless EVERY game makes use of multiprocessor technology. And let's face facts; even computer games are having trouble truly making use of multiprocessor technology, and computers have had multiple processors for a while now.
