I am currently using an original XBOX and i'm looking to buy a new one.......I love my XBOX but i'm hearing some bad things about the 360 and i'm hearing that Playstation 3 could be outta this world. Does anyone know the good and bad about each of these systems so that i can make a better decision.....either to buy the 360 or wait for the PS3.....I personally love the XBOX because when playing sports games the graphics are head and shoulders above all the other systems.......i don't know if 360 holds the same characteristics

A question like this will only lead to fanboy wars at the moment... Wait for the ps3 to come out and then wait to see how the games look there (the demos at E3 were done on PCs and not actual ps3s)

Personally, the ps3 will see more japanese made games than the 360. If you like sports games, your best bet will be the 360, but still wait it out to see.

yea definitely fanboy wars, ignore those, they are very annoying. Some things are better about each. Depending on the games overall, playstations are usually better, power xbox, the controller winner is the new xbox not ps3 mos of the time, ps3 will be the first to have blue ray discs, way better than dvds like xbox 360 and nintendo revolution will have. I guess the screen resolution is going to be better for ps3, the xbox 360 overall will have the better overall system when it comes to power, graphics, etc. but only by a tad. For default color, ps3s silver is way better than the ugly white on the 360, ps3 is a little smaller, still not even close to the revolution though. would you rather a disc tray slide out? (xbox 360) or would you rather have like a cool compact slot for the cd (ps3 and revolution I believe).

But yeah I agree with lacking_imagination.

I think it's the games that count more, who cares about the console, wait to see the games.

If you have to choose between PS3 and XBOX360, I base my decision on a number of things.
Games - Which one has better games that appeal to your liking?
Cost - Are you looking for a console that is cheap, or are you willing to spend a lot of money?
Graphics - If you really want a console, I would at least glance at this topic.
Competition - Is there ANY other console that is better?
Power - Self explanatory.
Screen Resolution - Don't want it to be blurry, do we?
Online Capabilities - XBOX has XBOX Live...what will PlayStation have?

But it's still your choice...
I would choose the XBOX360 on a count of the money, because I would buy an iPod video on the side with the spare money that I didn't spend on the PS3. But that's ONLY my decision...

PS3 Owns..PERIOD....

to keep it safe from fanboy wars (wishes he could find the link again)

Stats wise the ps3 will be better if they deliver the stats they say they are going to. The link I was looking for was an actual Microsoft Rep for the 360 that stated that the ps3 will beat them out if they deliver the specs as well. Probably doesn't have his job anymore either lol.

I myself am a Sony fan and will be, each game that comes out on the market now a days comes out for all systems with the exception of one or 2 games for each system so that is what you need to keep your eye on i guess. Is which system is going to have the "exclusive" to which system.

Both the xbox 360 and the ps3 are good consoles, however the xbox 360 has so many bugs right now, it's not funny. The xbox 360 is not even a full next-gen console, the ps3 and revolution are going to be much faster and are going to have way better gaming capabilities.

oh, ho ho! you need to find out what you like, man! if ya like racin' games, go wit the 360 for PGR3. if ya like shootin' games, get the ps3 for killzone 2. killzone 2 was a hit with ps2, because i own that game, it has a great story, some twists, and i cant wait for kz2. pgr n' pgr2 were great sellers with xbox. but since i like both shooting and racing games...IM STUCK ALSO, so u decide wat games ya like.

[Borghunter]

Like I said, the xbox 360 has too many bugs so i'm not going to get it. The PS3 hasn't come out yet, so I don't know of it's bugs. If bothe the ps3 and 360 have bugs, i'll get a Revolution.

I was talking to one of my friends and he heard that the reason tht they r waiting to release PS3 is becasue the graphics are gunna be so good they have not found a good enough programs to make the games yet. they are supposed to look like real life not jus a bunch of shapes that are put together. he makes games in school and he takes him about 30minutes per character in ps2 quality but when he says it would take him like a week because all the characters will be hand drawn b4 they are added to the game to make them personalized i personally think that u should wait for ps3
