Q. I am planning on buying a new gaming console for my house. Which is better Xbox 360 or PS3 and why?
A. The PS3 is the obvious choice here. In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future, it will have over-the-top graphical capabilities (google âHeavy Rainâ). And to those who say the Xbox 360 is cheaper, well then just look at the following list:
With the PS3, you get:
-A Blu-Ray player, which if you wanted one of equal value would blow at least a $700 hole in your wallet, plus a mean DVD-upconverter
-Free online service, the Playstation Network, which is only a few steps behind Xbox Live these days
-An ever-growing list of exclusives, like Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Metal Gear Solid 4 and in the future: inFamous, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.âin which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time)
-More flexible in terms of hardware, e.g. swappable HDD, USB mini cable, etc.
-Built in, superior Wi-Fi
-Web browser
-A super sleek system complete with chrome trim and a slot loading disc drive
With the Xbox 360, you get:
-DVD Player/upconverter
-Xbox live, which is $60/year, and not even worth it
-Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 (thatâs a lot of exclusives compared to the PS3, if you ask me: P)
-Ummâ¦canât really say anything about non-proprietaryness, because Microsoft inflates the prices for their accessories.
-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")
-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 11th!
So hereâs a quick run-down of what you must buy with the PS3 and 360:
PS3:
Console $300
Game $50
Controller $55
Charger $2-10--any USB mini cable will do
Total: $407
Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money.
Xbox 360:
Console $300
Game $60
Controller $60
Play and Charge kit x2 $60
Xbox Live $60
Wi-Fi $100
Total: $640
Thatâs not cheaper, so get a grip on it! Sony said that they made the PS3 to last a decade. The multi-platform games are using about 25% of the PS3's graphical potential. So there's lots of wiggle room in the future for much more brighter, detailed and massive environments.
On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360âs potential. And they look about the same. At this rate in 1 year, the PS3 will have outshone the 360 graphic wise. Itâs just that the 8-core Cell Broadband Processor is very complex, and takes developers time to get used to. And they are getting the hang of things. The PS3 has a very good reliability rate: only 0.2% failure rate (note the decimal), while Xbox 360's have a 30% failure rate. So, for every 1000 of both consoles produced, 2 PS3's are defective, whilst about 330 Xbox 360's are defective. The numbers speak for themselves. Many game developers have OPENLY stated that in the near future, and right now, they will use the PS3 as a lead-developing platform, and then they will port the games to the 360.
Also, many Xbox fanboys will say "Sure, LIVE is 60 bucks a year, but you get what you pay for." Isn't this like a Sony fanboy saying "Sure, PS3 is a 100 bucks more, but that is *pretty much* all you pay for?
So in conclusion, the PS3 is betterâyou get the most bang for your buck, and it's an incredibly advanced all-in-one home media center hub. You can even install Linux or Windows XP and use it as a computer-legally! While with the Xbox 360, Microsoft will ban your 360 from certain things, if you install the OS at all (just try to bypass the security).
Hope this helps!

How different will the graphics be on PC and 360?
Q. I pre- ordered Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360, it looks so beautiful, but they have only shown previews for PC. I want to know how different in quality the graphics will be from PC to Xbox 360.
A. For PC the graphic will be better (only) if you have one top rated gaming PC that can run the game smoothly on high settings, (which it cost a lot)
multiplayer game will be 64 players, this can make the server busy
For Xbox the graphic will be acceptable and it will run smoothly as always
Multiplayer game will be 24 player, easy on server
i personally ordered the Xbox version of this game.
