Theres prob a 50 page thread in the entertainment forum where Weaste and co argue which ones better!

Eyepopper · 6th May 2008, 13:47

exactly... I cant be arsed reading all that.. I want a quick fix to the situation... pros and cons people, time is money!

pert · 6th May 2008, 13:48

Elite is black and has a has a 120GB HD and a HDMI

If I had to pick I would take Xbox over PS3

But of course, this is wrong as emusmuc and Weaste will point out

Slevin · 6th May 2008, 13:48

PS3...

Simply because BR has won over HD DVD, 360 you need an add on to play HD DVD, which aren't going to be around for long anyway, 360's die constantly, and look childish.

Next.

not everyone buys a console to watch movies on

infact I would go to say as much as most people do not buy them to watch movies, but to play games

Dr. Dwayne · 6th May 2008, 13:55

I like the PS3 better because I have one.

Plus, my 8 month old Microsoft mouse went tits up last night so I don't have much confidence in their product. Everything SONY that I have had or known of someone having lasts for an eternity.

There was a survey not long back about why people bought the console MAINLY, alot of people answered for the BR, but they'd play games on it too...

It's the cheapest BR player around atm...

Gaming / Movies / Home Media Centre, they're used for allsorts now.

Don't let the fanboys see that question!

I prefer PS3 but I really can't be arsed to argue which is better. What do you want to use it for? Movies and games? Then the PS3 should be your choice.

nail on head

James Parkin · 6th May 2008, 14:05

I play my 360 more than my ps3 for one reason only

the controller

the ps3 one feels too light and is too small IMO

rimaldo · 6th May 2008, 14:07

i find the xbox is better if you wish to play any 360 games but i use my ps3 all the time to play ps3 games.

hope this helps.

interesting. I've never liked Xbox controllers. the white and black buttons were always difficult for me to reach.

I agree that the PS controllers are a bit too small for caucasian hands.

Do Xbox 360 controllers still use batteries?

Eyepopper · 6th May 2008, 14:10

Games mainly... through a home projector... have plenty of Sony kit and its never let me down so guess a PS3 is the answer

its up to you, I bought the rechargable battery pack, they last ages off a charge.

the 360 controller doesnt have the white and black buttons so everything is laid out really well this time

still fondly remember the first time using the triggers for accelarating on the first project gotham

Slevin · 6th May 2008, 14:12

PS3 control is fine imo...
I find the xbox buttons stupid, they're round as hell and hurt if you have to press one repeatedly for a while...

Although their left stick is probably better positioned, I am used to the PS control layout anyway... aint changed much since PSX

How long does your projector last? You only get a few thousand hours a bulb don't you?

Would be annoying as I play quite alot of games and watch quite alot of movies. Plus, turning them on and off helps blow the bulb doesnt it?

and that is what it comes down to, it is all opinion

both of them are excellent machines, ok the 360 has a ropey past with the hardware failures, but I have enjoyed every minute i have played mine.

Likewise with the PS3, it is an excellent machine, and some of the psn games are fantastically addictive (try pain, you'll lose hours before you know it)

then there is the final argument for the wii, not as powerful by a long shot, and running on alot of last gen tech, but it brings families together for playing again. Some cracking games on it too

i went for the easy option and bought all 3 so I have the best of everything

Projector bulbs last for years. But when they do go, may aswell just buy a new projector.

I have a projector TV in my living room. Is awesome coupled with the 8 speaker surround sound.

1871_Biscuit · 6th May 2008, 15:54

After sooo many debates on this issue i have come to the conclusion that the Xbox 360 is a better console than the PS3. The PS3 is a better media system.

So it all comes down to what you want out of a console. I would still get a 360.

Why is 360 a better console?

All the best ps3 games are just starting to get released now, and PS Home is on its way later this year.
