Hi Guys....

I'm plannin to buy my 1st gaming console. I haven't use d first XBox or d PS2. Can anyone comment on which console i shud buy? XBox 360 or PS3?

As i'm interested in graphically intensive games, i don plan to get d Wii... So we shal exclude it frm our discussions...

My fon: Motorola MPX200 (running WindowsMobile 5.0), 512MB RS-MMC, Motorola E398 headset, modified Nokia BL-6C battery!!

Well if your a graphics whore then ps3 but if your smart you'd get the xbox 360 with its large library or games (most also with online play), and future proof (as imo blue-ray is a loser).

The xbox 360 has a far superior graphics card than the PS3. If you want the best value performance ratio then get the PS3, if you like sony's dwindling exclusive list of games then get that. But blu-ray is destined to lose, they've forbidden porn on blu-ray.

out of curiosity - why would they forbid porn on blue-ray?

`and for the topic starter - get a 360 dude, too much hype with teh ps3 - gonna be a let down as i dont think it'll be any better than the 360 (so why pay more )
living the dream!

Thanx guys 4 reps...

I stil not sure bout Blue-Ray gettin off d court... 1st its backed by a whol range of consumer equipment mfgrs. 2nd it's capacity's gonna double up in d future. 3rd, well nothin...

But i recently saw som to be released titles for PS3, lik Grand Tourismo (4?), next iteration of Metal Gear Solid nd a UbiSoft title. They luk splendid! I'v also heard that the PS3 CPU's pack a lot mor punch than that of 360...

Doesn't PS3 has online game titles?

The price for d two almost tallys wen i get an HD-DVD player for d 360.

Also, can any1 tel me wat all accessories u usually get wit both these consoles. Things lik diff cables, remote etc . . .

if you want next gen gaming now buy a 360 if you dont mind waiting six months then the ps3 might be a good propersition.
since its delays the games makers havent got to grips the ps3 core so the games wont be as good as they can be.
i still not sure if the ps3 will be as good as its been claimed.
your right on the price theres not much between them when you add the extras onto the 360.
i get whatever most of your mates want or have as it easier to share games and play online together

It is true they banned porn, so now porn will probably be on HD-DVD. Bye to blu-ray. If people would rather make a grill out of a ps3 than play it, it says a lot.

No.........

Blu-Ray did not banned Porn...

Just,

Sony will not produce porn blu-ray disk.

However,

Other company is still be able to produce it.

Clear?

Anyways.....................

What are you exactly looking for?

All in one console with a much larger audience for any ages??

Or

Just a gaming console which is more pc oriented games??

Hi... Thanx guys 4 all ur resp...

I'm lukin 4 a Gaming Console with Media Player capability + Multi-player support...
I'm tired of PC's, with their HW gettin outdated within months & then that gets me in2 an upgrading mess!

PS3 has wireless controllers, right? So upto how many players can get connected to the console at a time? How many players can play a game on 360, at a time?

Also which all are the surround audio decoders supported by both the consoles....

Does both consoles hav 1080p HD support?

Thanx again...

I'd just like to add an interesting fact to the thread.

Betamax went down when the US porn industry sided with VHS!

Not having a little thing like porn on one format can knock it out of the format battle... for good!

I recommend the XBOX360, mainly as I own one but XBOX Live is probably the best online gaming service, it was this way last generation of consoles and it's gonna be the same now.

Than your looking for a PS3!

PS3 can connect up to 7 wireless controllers, and the 8th controller must be connected tru USB, as bluetooth can be sync up to 7 devices only.. but you still can have up to 8 multi-player at the same time.

XBox360 online gaming is much better, however PS3 is cathing up.

PS3 is an all in One console, equip with HDMI connections FULL HD and what not... its basicaly everything you need Bluetooth and Wifi all in the box. NO ADD ONS NEEDED, if your getting the 60GB version.
