This year i think the PS3 console will overtake XBOX 360, ive had both consoles and prefer the PS3.

The games are coming thick and fast now on the PS3 and both consoles are getting joint releases, with a few games been exclusive to one console.

Most the games i have for my PS3 I had for my 360 and to be honest graphically there is not much difference.

What i like about the PS3 is that it as a blu ray player for viewing hd films, built in wireless controllerwith chargeble batteries, built in wireless internet connection and also you dont have to pay to play online.

To get the xbox 360 to a similar spec you would have to add the wireless adaptor 60 pound,hd dvd player 129 pound and also the wireless battery pack 14.99.

Personally i couldnt even watch dvds on my 360 because of the noise of the machine, but i suppose it depends on how loud your volume will go up, to drown the fan noise.:eek:

Not only this the reliability of the PS3 is much better than the xbox 360.

However the only plus point i can find for the 360 is that you can have it flashed and play backup games.

But if you have this done you are playing russian roulette with your console as you can either get banned from xbox live or if your console becomes faulty microsoft will not repair it through the warranty.

WHICH CONSOLE DO YOU THINK WILL BE AT THE TOP BY THE END OF THE YEAR?????????????

Tell sony that. There's nothing like a good hack to sell a console. The Ps2 I had was great. Used to download the games and stick them on a hard drive to play. When I eventually sold the ps2 the dvd laser must have been like new as it had seen no use!:D

PS3 wins hands down for me for all the above reasons. Hacked or not its going to be in front of the 360 by the end of this year for sure! I imported Gran Turismo Prologue last week and its got to be the best driving game I ever played, its just stunning! Bundle this with the 40gb console when it comes out here in March and they will fly off the shelf..

LOL, alot of people hopeing the ps3 picks up by this year 2008 (so do i as I want tekken 6!!) BUT if your buying a console NOW then it has 10000% got to be xbox 360, if you buy later in then year then get a ps3 (also will be price dropped again by then!!). PS3 might be a good console but it doesnt have ANY major games for it yet other then uncharted or cod4. Dont worry about blu-ray - HD-DVD etc as both consoles will play DOWNLOADED HD content ;-)

Ive gone for the 360 as it does EVERYTHING i need with the wmv HD support and divx/xvid etc from USB, also has MUCH MORE games then the ps3, no frame rate issues and better online modes, also it has faster (released) demos etc then the ps3. The ps3 only has tekken 6 and Mgs4 asthe games I want to play - i will not be playing ANY blu-ray or hd-dvd so that doesn't come into the picture for me. Ps3 will kickass IF they ever release any good games for it and it gets HACKED! ;-) BUT the 360 will be right up there with it no matter how good it gets!!

i think once someone gets around the copy protection the ps3 will be a bigger hit (even more so if they can re-write the firmware and give homebrew, like the original xbox) however untill then i think the 360 with its lower price and the ability to play knocked off games will be ahead in the list for some time

Got my ps3 last July and only played it a handful of times....... that was until two weeks ago when I got "Call of Duty 4" for xmas from the wife.

This game is sh*t hot, the graphics and the sound are superb.

I just wished I had a 1080P TV and not a 1080i.


I played fifa08 on the xbox360 at my m8's on new years day and it was no different then fifa08 on the ps3.

I also enjoyed watching the latest harry potter film on blue ray last week.

If you like you're films then take a look about the format war info that Satdude posted, you may want to consider a ps3 if you want to watch the latest films from Warner Bros in HD.

Something else i have only just realised on the ps3 is that it will upscale normal dvds to 1080, I onlly realised this as you have to change it in your settings to upscale and there was me going to buy a dvd upscaler, when i had one right under m nose:D

360 wipes the ass of Ps3. Although you buy a console for th games they play. So if u want halo3 get 360 if you want gran turismo get a ps3. At the mo Ps3 is behind 360 FULLSTOP and i doubt it will overtake the 360 by the end of the year!!

Went to hmv in oxford street uesterday to buy my son a game for his ps3. We saw nothing there at all apart from uncharted drakes fortune but as he's 9 i wasnt so sure he should have it! we spent far more time going through the xbox 360 range and picking out the great games available.
The bottom line with any console is software and the ps3 has very little and the xbox 360 has loads. If you're buying now it has to be an xbox, later in the year say june i would imagine the ps3 will actually have decent games!

the xbox 360 has been out a few years mate. sony had better sell more ps3's than the xbox as most people that want an xbox have one.
Have you checked out the range of games for the ps3? Nothing special. Its funny cos yes the console is better and more powerful [as it should be given the xbox is over 2 years old] but without the games its as much use as a ten inch mahnood to a monk!

thats a good point. The price is prohibitive on all consoles. TBH it doesnt really matter which console is better, i think the competition is great and the three main consoles all have something to offer the gamer.

Absolutely spot on! I have both. Drakes Fortune is a great game by the way, although not sure its suitable for a 9yr old. At the moment I'm into The Darkness on the 360 which has been out a while but its a great game.

go on the plxy.com site and see what games are on the ps3 and what games are on the 360 and theres not much difference, then look at the releases for the PS3 this year and there are loads, a lot more than the 360.

Out of interest what was these great range of games you bought for your xbox 360?

Like it said in the article i read, we all know the xbox 360 as been out longer than the PS3 , so yes there should be more 360's in the UK, but the article states the PS3 will be in more homes in the uk than the 360 by summer 2008.

LOOKS LIKE THE TIDE AS CHANGED:D

I didnt go to HMV to buy xbox games, i went to buy a ps3 game and didnt see any - could say more about HMV than the ps3! I dont ned to buy games for my xbox! ;)
BTW ive looked at the releases this year for both consoles. Both have a great range of games lined up. The main games are available on both consoles. To be fair there will always be games that are released exclusively for one console and there's no doubt that once the range increases even more for the PS3 that - given the overall power of the console as a blu-ray player and games machine - it will sell even more.

@bonovox
looks like sony have some pimps on the payroll!
My main point has always been its about the games. I know people too that have a wii and a ps3 and they love both.
we await the new xbox and see what that has instore for us. i expect big things. Is there a big difference in graphics between the two consoleson the games you've played?

wasnt you the one saying there were no games for the PS3?

And i can not see any plans for a new xbox, have you?

your definately a microsoft fanboy, slagging the PS3 saying there was no games in HMV for the PS3 and you ended up looking at 360 games, which you cant even name :D

Ive had both ive now just got a PS3 and we also have a wii, to be honest the wii is a bit of fun when we have friends or family around.

But the difference between the 360 and the PS3 is nothing when it comes to the games that have been released on both formats, its what you get with the PS3 and what you dont with the 360.

Like someone said it like an audi and a skoda.

Both drive the same but with the PS3 you get all the extras like aircon, electic windows,heated screen and airbags, and also you get reliability as it doesnt breakdown.

Not only this it drives a lot smoother and a lot quieter

What you get with a 360 is road tax(online gaming 40 pound a year) no extras and 3 years free RAC COVER as you will need it as it will always be breaking down.:D

I think the poll is begining to tell the truth;)

I said there were no games at HMV. having looked at the site you mentioned i can see there are far more than the selection at hmv but obviously not as many as the xbox 360 which has been out longer. I still say atm the better game catalogue is xbox 360.

I dont need to buy games cos i have 60-70 copied gamnes already - thats why i didnt buy any at HMV! :)

No difference in graphics between the 2 systems. I have seen and played both. In fact when you see the reviews of cross platform games they seem to always give the xbox 360 the edge although its always minimal. I have read that between these 2 systems the graphics are always going to be virtually the same. Where the PS3 can overtake the 360 is by the processor power which is where the ps3 has the big edge. This should mean a lot more elements running in the game that the ps3 can handle. But graphics wise and texture wise and shadow and detail and so on, the games are not going to look much different than what you have now. Until the next console is released the only place where graphics are going to get a lot more real is on a top spec PC which has always been the same. Thats where standards are set.

Thanks mate. One other thing. Is the online gaming element as good as the 360?

bonovox
28-01-2008, 10:31 PM
I haven't used the ps3 online too much but as far as i know its as good as the 360, seemed that way when I used it. This might also be another thing that the ps3 may have an advantage of in the future. I think the xbox360 can only handle 16 player multiplayer, or that is the most I have seen. But the ps3 could and probably will have more ability to handle more players online similar to what PC games can...32 player and upwards I would think. I'm not that much a multi player gamer....getting killed by some geeky teenage yanks don't appeal too much to me hehehe:D

Nah your son is just probably following his friends as the ps3 is the gadget to have, but if your a gamer its a bit behind the 360 as we all know. Just downloading The Club for the 360, I think it comes out on the ps3 in 6 months time!:rolleyes:

Hey where did u ask me about whether I have a ps2? Didn't see that one. I haven't got one but I did have, I sold it a couple of years back when the ALL conquering xbox360 came out! It was a great machine though especially as I could cue the games up from the internal 200gb hard drive. The PS3 SHOULD have that same feature but I doubt Sony would agree heheeh. Although latest news from psn news is stating that hackers have got games working from external usb hard drive on a ps3 and the internal hard drive also. So it may not be long before the ISO loaders are out and then it will be cat and mouse between Sony and the hackers. I never had an original xbox by the way.

As for my username on the ps3 its bollopox or something like that but I honestly haven't used it since I updated the firmware to version 2.0. Whats the firmware now I think theres been a few updates since?

Yeah as I said previously my 360's are now for sale after seeing what great processing power the ps3 has. 8 x 3.2ghz processors is pretty damn impressive even though the games look no better and play no better than the xbox360 version. As I have said in previous threads the ps3 games are going to be able to do many great and complex things but the only drawback is going to be the graphics are not going to get much better than what you get now. So when the ps3 starts to fulfill its potential the graphics are going to look a bit dated because the PC will have moved graphics and textures on to the next level. By then the xbox will probably be launching a new system which will enhance the new graphics capability of top end gaming PC's. Thats the problem of the PS3, it has such a way to go fulfill its potential cos 8 x 3.2ghz processors is awesome processing power. No question if u put the consoles side by side, in computing power then the ps3 is hands down the better machine. No argument. But if you compare the games catalogue then anybody can see that the xbox360 has hundreds more playable titles with which the ps3 has a way to catch up. I know which system I prefer and its not the 8 x 3.2ghz one!;)

the reason that ps3 has less titles is because the xbon 360 has been out longer.

PC's will always be ahead of games consoles graphicaly as the graphic cards are easily upgradeable.

You cant really upgrade a consoles graphics card as it comes as a complete box.

Yep thats exactly my point. While the ps3 is potentially going to be doing some pretty complex things in future games its going to start looking dated graphically wise(its nowhere near using the capacity of its 8 x 3.2ghz processors). I'm not saying now but I am saying in a couple of years when developers will be utilizing the full capacity of the ps3, by which time the 360 will probably be getting replaced by a newer console with a far superior graphics card. It just depends how important the graphics are to the gamer I suppose. Also its gonna be interesting to the timeframe of when the ps4 will be ready for release. Can they afford to be behind the next Microsoft console again on release dates?

As theres no plan for a new xbox or a new playstation, i think it will be a few years before we see the next consoles.

The original Xbox was released in 2001, the 360 was launched in 2005 so they should really be developing their next console now, for launch in 2010 but theres no mention of it.

I just hope if microsoft do rush out a better console, they make it more reliable, as for, can Sony afford to be behind Microsoft on a console launch, we will have to wait and see, but they have had more sales of the PS3 in the uk less than a year since launch, which is more than what microsoft had in there first year.

Yeah I read that about the ps3 sales being better than for the 360 after the first 12 months. I think being a blu ray player has maybe helped the sales a bit. I think that 2010-2011 will be the year of the next MS console. Analysts have predicted around then, and also being the year the nintendo wii gets the next version as well. We may hear more about the next MS console within the next 12-18 months.
