uh uhh...they arent exactly buddies when it comes to consoles. they are arch rivals
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
they are not really compaable mate, as the ps3 will be coming out a year later, it has better hardware (cell processor and what not) but the xbox 360 will have other things which will kick ass (halo 3, and lots of other features).
but there also will be a huge differnce in the price, I hear the xbox is set to be 170 upon release and the ps3 anywhere between 200-350 (these figures are in uk pounds)
The tiger os thing is very interesting thanks for poiting it out

lol thats one way for the mac to claim it has a vast amount of games support..
TBH most consoles get hacked for alsorts of OS supports so it wouldn't be surprising if they do start releasing ports to consoles.
I don't think choice of console is going to matter until seeing the games line up. I'm more in favour of the PS3 given the games line up of the PS2 over the xbox.

Are you insane?
PS3 ALL THE WAY!!!!
XBOX360 has half the graphical and numerical calculation power of the PS3, the price will be closer to £220+, Game developers are signing to the PS3 unlike XBOX360. (It's a matter of time before the PS3 gets Halo 3....). Sony have more experience than Microsoft in pricing, its unlikely that PS3 will cost much more, but look what you get, the most advanced processors commercially available, the biggest gaming library, what more do you need? Also, the XBOX360 is due out late November/December, PS3 is out in march 2006.
Just wait, the PS3 will blow you all away!!!

ps3 will never get halo, microsoft make halo
Posted by darksyde
ps3 !!!!! (no competition) apart from halo what other good games are on the xbox?!?!??!

guys, we already had a quite extensive topic on this:
PS3 and Xbox 360 head to head
@SE Rules: mate, you need to get some of your facts straightened out.
(HALO going to PS3
)
Posted by anthonyjcrocks
I remember how Sony showcased the PS2, they claimed this and that...they said they played the Movie ants in real time...i was like...WOW!!! they even claimed 50 million polygons per second...But then when the thing finally came out...reaching a few million was like hard enough for the machine! When microsoft announced the XBox, they gave pretty accurate specs, and what they showed, was easily recreated. This alone proves to me, that the XBox 360 is going to be an awesome machine where as the PS3 is going to be over hyped which is due to Sony's over specing their machine. Also another thing to take in mind is that even if the PS3 has 3 processors it has a way smaller bandwith comapared to the Xbox 360, meaning, the power of those processors will not be able to run fully. Finally online play, i have to admit, I have both the xbox and the PS2 and both are online connected....after playing the online capabilities of the Xbox...i never went back to the PS2...Dont get me wrong ok? I own both the ps2 and xbox and will br buying both the ps3 and xbox 360...but i am expecting that i will be more inclined to the Xbox360.

considering the amount of games and genre, card reader (flash/SD/MS), 6USB ports, Bluetooth, twice the power of XBox360, 2video output, compatible with PSP (can be use as controller, remote control, or something to do with PS3), for price it doesnt really matter if it is a lil'bit higher then XBox360, coz ur paying for a much powerful console..
Verdict = PS3
Posted by mobikid
but microsoft is very confident on xbox 360..they say it will match up ps3..
Posted by gelfen
"twice the power of XBox360"
that's actually not quite true. it can theoretically do twice the number of raw calculations (if sony can be believed
) which isn't nearly the same thing.
this has been debated ad-nauseum in the thread i linked to earlier.
and sony have warned it will be quite expensive at launch - probably out of the range of most households.

all this mumbo jumbo about the PS3 7 core proccessor and the extra one i forgot what for.....
and the xbox 360 has 3 cores that are just as powerful but not as efficient as the ps3....
like you lot will care..
what you care about is the graphics which means the GPU and tboth consoles GPU's have fairly the same numbers...meaning graphics wize the consoles will be the same (dependin on how good the developer is)
BUT becasue the PS3 "Cell" processor can do more calculations it just simply means u will see more moving things in an enviroment (e.g. leaves .... Quoting one PS3 guy i fogot hu......Every single leaf in the game could potentially have its own mind but of course that would be too extensive) this just basically means
when u play GTA ...... the wind will blow and trees will move
but in actuall graphical quality both consoles will be the same
xbox 360 online will no doubt K.O the PS3 online
Ps3 Has more extra stuff like memory card readers etc
PS3 have to liscense the bluetooth technology meaning higher prices for bluetooth peripherals
Xbox 360 has its own wireless tech....cheaper
xbox 360 will most likely be $300 - £300
PS3 Blu-Ray disc has upto 54gb memory but cost more to produce
NOT YET confirmed but if M$ do go for HD-DVD HD-DVD's could potential have more memory than blu-ray but blu-ray is MUCH MORE interactive
Xbox 360 has already got working prototypes bein shown to public which makes M$ more belivable....coughs ken kutari
althought the ps3 might have more little extras i buy a console for he follwing reasons
Price
Game Prices
Games genre EXCLUSIVE to the console
Online Stuff
Graphics
right now i say the xbox 360 is worthy of a Pre-Order
PS3 is good..but..........just hasnt yet grabbed me
Oh and the xbox 360 will be a gr8 Christmas gift
for myself
Posted by Cornholio_666
how about you guys have a look at the demos for the games console from gamespot. have a look a the killzone ps3 demo and have a look at the project gotham 3 demo and judge for yourselves. my vote stays with the Playstation 3
Posted by Melik
Sony for life !!
Especially when it's gonna run MAC OS X on it
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
you guys have obvioulsy not played halo 1 & 2
Posted by Cornholio_666
@lukebonathan i have halo 1 and 2 as i have and xbox and a playstation 2. excellent games but i still want to get a playstation 3 first. microsoft are releasing halo 3 at the same time as the Playstation 3.
Posted by mobikid
Halo 3 will definitely be cool in xbox360. And xbox live will mostly better ps3 online
Posted by Kwiksta

Posted by JT
People its not hard. Just buy both... No need to argue which is better. Ive had enough of that with the previous consoles

@zmastaa
I agree. That killzone ps3 demo was just a way of taking the attention away from the 360. The Sony guys had no real game footage unlike the 360!

@SErules:
SONY will never ever ever get their dirty hands on HALO, HALO2 or HALO 3! Microsoft makes HALO and they're gonna use HALO 3 in their release of 360!
Posted by Cornholio_666
microsoft doesn't make halo, bungie does. i think microsoft just gives bungie their budget to make the halo series

what are you smoking?
i have an xbox and a ps2, i think the xbox is better, does that make me a sony fanboy? i think not. the video may not have been rendered on a ps3 but it gives you some sort of idea what it might look when the ps3 and killzone ps3 are finished and released to the public. i also intend getting both consoles, however it my opinion that the ps3 will be better, but i shall see when i have both consoles. it is just my opinion, theres no need to flame me if you disagree.
Posted by 02
and dont forget when u buy a PS3 u will also be buying................
PS1, PS2, PS3(Duh), and all CD formats!!! Including the all new BlueRay Disc!!! and thus its backwards compatible!!
but i have to be honest here, im here supporting PS3 but SONY have not decided to include the Hard drive or sold seperately.... maybe to reduce console price... and be cost less than XBox which will attract more users..
2nd there might be a possiblity of SONY upgrading the speed of the CD drive upon releasing.. so PS3 is getting more powerful than we expected...
Posted by Cornholio_666
the ps3 can communicate with the psp (wifi), and can support 7 wireless controllers . sony says the ps3's lifespan/ lifecycle will be 10 years

oh and to the person who said microsoft gonna release halo 3 with xbox 360..........no there not
halo 3 is coming out on 3rd quater of 2006
why would bungie rush such a good game for november 2005??? think about it
PS3 and PSP cominication has been hyped alot come on what do u expect it to do?? play killzone 3 on your psp? at the same time play it on your tv with others?? lol
have u noticed sony havent really gone into detail what "Communication" means
oh and 7 bluetooth controllers?? what about them be honest do u enjoy playin fifa 2005 8 player...or have u actually played it 8 player yet??
anyway yes i will buy both but i wont get PS3 on release day

its so obvious that the ps3 is better:
blueray! woohoo!!!
6 usb ports
a bort for a 2.5 inch harddrive
slots for: memory stick, sd and compact flash - watch movies from ure psp!
wireless (bluetooth) controllers - lol, u cud probably use ure bt headset for online gaming!
built in wireless antenna - use ure psp as a controller, and connect it to the ps3 harddrive.
outputs for normal and hdtv!
it has a cell called ' the cell' which is produced by ibm, toshiba and sony themselfs, apparently it has 7 (?i think?) processors or something!
Nvidia, 128-bit pixel presicion...I mean, what more do u want....
Posted by solidsingh
i cant decide which is better , im gettin both
Posted by BlackBauer24
XBOX360 has massive power, plus the machine looks great, its got an excellent live service already up and running, and the machine is very sensibly priced. PS3 has more power than X360? great! (if its true), Sonys machine just looks ok, but has got some very hi-tech features, will no doubt be grossly overpriced and end up disappointing many when the REAL facts are known about both machines, As Sony claim its 2-3 times more powerful the the MS machine, I cant wait until Sony announce the PS3's price!
