This has nothing to do with my previous post or which I like more. I'm just saying having both seems pretty pointless because there really isn't a big enough difference and both are getting pretty much the same games anyhow.
there is a difference...
the ps3 uses blue-ray, which can hold up to 25GB of space on one disc, the 360 in the other hand...uses the original 7GB. Most game companies are moving their games to the PS3, just because this gives the developers plenty of space and room to put more into the game, then on a regular DVD Disc, some are 4GB disc's too.
Also the PS3 has a built in HD Drive....and when the 360, you have to pay over 120 bucks to buy one seperate.
PS3 holds more space, you can get a 60GB hard drive or a 30...the 360 dosn't hold even 30...
PS3's online play is FREE, with sexbox live you have to pay for it.
PS3 uses the new CELL processors...which is faster then the 360. it uses DDR and XDR RAM
Graphic wise...the ps3 is a little better, but not much of a difference, both use the same amount of mb's of ram for the video card.
PS3 controllers can recharge themselves by plugging it into the ps3 using one of the 4 usb ports that it has...no need for battieries...you have to either buy batteries for the 360, or buy a charger seperate...will cost you a bit more.
Also the 60GB version has built in Wi-Fi....360 dosn't have that. EDIT: actually it might ill have to see when i get home...
PS3 has a compact flash slot, an SD Standard slot and a Memory Card Slot...360 dosn't have that.
oh yeah and i forgot another thing, PS3 has bluetooth, 360 dosn't, did i also mention that the ps3 uses HDMI? 360 dosn't...
for a 60GB PS3, it costs 600 bucks....but sony is loosing money cause their is over $1000 of stuff in it....so 600 bucks is cheap for what your getting. Go find a blue ray player and tell me that alone dosn't cost almost a grand?
anything else you want to know i can tell you cause im a fucking pathetic geek when it comes to consoles...
EDIT: oh and PS3 is backwards compatiable with PS1 and 2 games....360 only has a few xbox games it can play....thats it..its not backwards compatable...just a few.
