PS3 or Xbox 360?

[Cheemo]

I am buying a new video game console and it will either be a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360. Pros and Cons time:

Pros of Xbox 360:
 + Xbox Live's fun design and features

 + Lowered Xbox 360 Elite price

 +  HALO 3 I love the controller, I used it at a friend's house once.

 +  Achievements and can play DVDs

 + Download and buy Movies

Cons of Xbox 360:
 - Many systems are defective or become defective

 - Not many decent Xbox 360-exclusive games(halo 3!!)

 - If you use a cooler, it can be loud as hell(friend's house.)

Pros of PS3
 + Playstation Network allows you to download and buy movies

 + Holds up to 7 wireless controllers

 + Playstation HOME allows you to create your, well, home and customize your character in a virtual word

 + A powerful processor and great graphics

 + Amazing PS3 exclusive games such as LittleBigPlanet.

 + PSN is free

 + Blu-Ray compatibility

 + I also love the controller design, I owned a ps2 for several years so I'm used to it more than the Xbox 360's

Cons of the PS3
 - The original model, which I'm going to buy, is huge



Please suggest things to add to the lists and post your comments and thoughts.

"Cons of PS3: The price"  So, As much as an elite is bad? It's $300 now.  PS3 has trophies, which are achievements.  New controllers have rumble.  Games are same price as 360's

If you get a 360 Elite instead of Pro, you always have gold subscription, so you wouldn't have to worry about paying for it.

so it says on the box...

Really? :o

Really? :o

It said that on my pro box. :o

I call false advertising.

Yeah, microsoft's not one to trust with that.  But, then again, if it breaks, don't you get free 3 months LIVE?

The main reasons 360s fail is because idiots put them in a dusty environment or clam it in between hot stuff, or have no A/C.

My 360 has yet to RRoD and I've had it for 2 years I think.

1 month*.

not sure, but it gets fixed for free.    Anything used for xBox gets fixed for free, including rockband controllers.

You can download and buy games and movies on xbox aswell.

Also, let me say it again. I tried both consoles on the Plasma TV in our living room;
Graphics are so totally the same.
There is no, and I repeat, NO difference.

The only pro. on the PS3 would be that it loads games faster for almost five seconds.

I don't play much PS3 because I'm not used with the controller anymore and because all the games that got released are buyable for xbox or pc. Either that or they just get booring very, very fast (Little Big Planet).

Why do exclusives matter? They're just another excuse for one console fanboy to be a gigantic richardweed to other people. There' virtually nothing good about exclusives.

Remove all PS3 cons but the first.  Those ones are wrong.

[Osak]

360 plz.

[Marcem]

I also suggest removing the last 2 360 cons, coolers aren't a required thing, and exclusives don't matter.

360. Prototype and Castle Crashers.

[Marcem]

Castle crashers is coming to psn soon. Prototype is on PS3, too.
