Xbox vs ps3?Answer plz

Well, I've never owned an Xbox so I don't know if you can go online or not, but you can do pretty much anything on the internet on PS3 including battling other people, and you can download old PS1 games onto it, and the older versions of it let you play PS2 games as well. And of course, there are all the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, and those Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption games (or whatever they're called... my brohter plays them, not me) and I'm not quite sure if they make all of those for Xbox. We've also downloaded a bunch of free demos that are actually pretty fun, especially for just demos. And I've heard that PS3 plays DVDs like the PS2, just haven't tried it yet. So... yeah, guess that's all I got.

My son has been playing the PS3 far longer than the XBox360. He loves to play the war games online! The XBox360 is fairly new to him. One good thing about the PS3 is it plays blu-ray!

Without a doubt,the PS3.


Don't believe me?let's compare the two consoles step by step.



The Cpu:

Xbox 360

3.2 GHz Xenon processor
3 dual-threaded cores
Maximum 77 GFlops

PS3:


3.2 GHz Cell processor
7 single-threaded cores (plus 1 backup core)
Maximum 230 GFlops


The processors for the Xbox and PS3 are unique enough in their respective architectures that it can be difficult to make direct comparisons. However, the numbers don't lie.

The two CPU chips run at the same GHz speed, but the PS3's seven individual cores beat out the Xbox's three dual-threaded cores. And in terms of performance measured in gigaflops, the PS3 tops out at nearly three times that of the Xbox.

Interestingly, the new combined CPU/GPU chip used in the new Xbox 360 is theoretically faster than the individual chips in older models. But in order to ensure proper functionality, Microsoft was forced to install a "frontside bus replacement block" that introduces latency and forces the chip to run at the same speed as the older model. This new combined chip may edge out the PS3's CPU in terms of reliability and temperature control, but no long term tests have been performed yet.

Winner: PlayStation 3



The GPU:


PS3:

256 MB XDR RAM
3.2 GHz speed
25.6 Gbps bandwidth


Xbox 360:

512 MB GDDR3 RAM (shared with GPU)
700 MHz speed
22.4 Gbps bandwidth



Once again, the Xbox's total amount of RAM is slightly misleading, as the system RAM and video RAM are shared. The PS3's XDR RAM is also far more fast and efficient than the Xbox's GDDR3 RAM, running at a speed of 3.2 GHz compared to 700 MHz.

Final bandwidth numbers prove PS3 is the victor in this category.


Video Support:


PS3:

Up to 1080p resolution
Composite, component, & HDMI connections


Xbox 360:


Native 720p resolution, OS supports up to 1080p
Composite, component, VGA, & HDMI connections



With both the current models of both consoles now including standard HDMI ports, the Xbox and PS3 are largely comparable when it comes to video connections. The PS3 outclasses the Xbox in terms of maximum resolution.

While the Xbox's menu screens support 1080p display, Microsoft only requires its games to support 720p. The PS3 features a significant number of games that support 1080p. That's to say nothing of the PS3's support for Blu-ray movies and the growing focus on 3D gaming.

Winner: PlayStation 3


Audio support:


PS3:

Analog – Stereo
Digital – 5.1 Dolby Digital & 7.1 LPCM


Xbox 360:

Analog – Stereo
Digital – 5.1 Dolby Digital & 7.1 LPCM


For gamers relaying on analog sound connections, the Xbox has the advantage of offering Dolby Pro-Logic II in addition to standard stereo. But for those with digital connections, the PS3 wins the day by offering both 5.1 Dolby Digital surround and 7.1 LPCM surround.

Winner: PlayStation 3

The Xbox360 is better becuz its setups and other stuff is off the hook!!

i love all the video game console's but i am an owner for ps 3.

I personally think that XBOX 360 is better so I can't give a totally un-biased opinion. I REALLY like Xbox, I think that it has much better games, better graphics in the games they release ( the good ones anyway. Don't play two-worlds....I think that should have been a computer game)
It has many more features available for it and they have come out with AN AWESOME new Kinect System that I have been waiting for, for months! It is gonna be awesome

Well personally I'm a Xbox gal.
I HAVE played 3 of the same games on BOTH systems and I gotta say...I prefer the xbox. I like the feel and flow of it better.

I have to say this...When you make an 'upgraded version' of a previous system...you have to do just that: UPGRADE IT.
Ps3 isn't better than ps2 to me...but xbox 360 is better than xbox

PS3! I know some people say that Updates are a pain in the ass, but I say this! The biggest pain in the ass to me is the "Remote Play" Why the hell do I want see PS3 menu on my PSP? Shouldn't it be the other way around!? Anyway when My PS3 updates I usually get a bite to eat, go to the bathroom, or update it before I go to sleep! I never get frustrated thanks to those methods I use! I know some people who own a 360, And they all had the same problem "Red Ring Of Death" and don't say it will never happen! I know a Cousin had one for 2 years and he said it never happen to him! He had for that long because he mainly played with his brothers PS3 by the way! Anyway a month ago it finally happend! And now he got nothing! I know someone else who's 360 lasted only an hour! Fresh out the box and that happens! others had to go through 3 of those 360's! Another one sent it to company 5 times for the same reason! in the end all of them got rid of it, or destroy it! And they got them self a PS3! It's just sad! My heart gose out for any 360's fans who had the same situation happend to them! I have the first Xbox and 2 games I think it's better than the 360! Did you know it's bullet proof! Seriously I’m not making this up! I seen someone shoot it with a shotgun and the rounds just bounce back! It’ even work after that!! The 360 can’t even stand up to a bat! Not sure about the PS3 thou! No one's try it yet! But over all I’ll stick with the PS3 all the way!
