My Non-Bias Comparison

I bought my 60GB PS3 on day one, for something like £400. I've just always preffered Playstation, and Sony. I never had the first xbox, only a PS2 so I waited out for the PS3 - and I love it.

But I've finally caved in to the adverts - got so fed up with having to miss out on certain exclusives because of petty game developers so I've bought myself a 120gb Xbox elite with 2 controllers, Left for Dead 2, Fable 2, Forza and GTAepisodes from LC.

So now although I have only had my xbox for a few days I shall do a comparison based on what I can see and know for anyone stuck between which to get.

I'll explain in the form of cars and I don't mean it in terms of appearance but the car itself. The PS3 is like an Aston Martin DB9, a great console, great exclusives a great sturdy console with hardly any down-sides.

Now the Xbox 360 is an Aston Martin DB9 engine in the shell of a Ford Fiesta. It does all the things the PS3 game does in terms of playing great games but doesn't quite match it.

A few things the ps3 has the xbox hasnt just makes it seem a little less well put together and fragile. Theres no disc tray on a PS3, no blu-ray player, the menus are set out a lot better, free internet, the PSN store is easier to navigate and use, theres a hell of a lot less chance of your ps3 breaking than your xbox, the graphics, I know this is a touchy subject for most owners, but comparing the two i'd say hands down the ps3 is better. I recently found out thatPS3 games are designed for thexbox because it iseasier for developers and then ported over to the PS3, which would have an effect on graphics. Butcompare a PS3 exclusives graphics like, Uncharted 2, the graphics beat anyxbox exclusive.I could go on but you get the point.

In conclusion, if you want to JUST be able play great games and money is tight. Go for the xbox. If you can afford the PS3 - that is definatly the better console.

i own both. and the 360 is the best all round imo. put it this way, if i could only own one. it would be the 360.

I own neither but since I must submit to the logic and mentality of this thread I'd have to say, Wii has the best graphics.

Lol, I love these "non-bias comparisons".

What on Earth makes people believe they are non-bias?

It shows up in one form or another.

Ah... theres me stupidly thinking I could convey an opinion that favours the PS3 and not have whiney xbox fanboys. My bad. Thread Closed.

Now this I gotta know, just what do you mean?? :|

I own all platforms including the handhelds. I don't use my PC much because I don't like having to wait around whilst a game installed. Some of my most recent games took hours to install. The wii is ok, but most of the games lack depth The PS3 is a good console, but the updates take faaaar too long to install. The controller isn't as good as the xbox 360 and neither is the online. The xbox 360 is also a good console, but its stupidly noisy. The price of the wireless adapter is offensive. The DS is a great little handheld - some great games and a massive library of rubbish ones. The PSP is a good handheld let down by a rubbish battery. A battery sooo rubbish that the thing is barely portable. UMDs movies didn't really take off...which is a shame cos I liked themangryfodder

Microsoft buying off game developers to make games like GTA Episodes from LC an exclusive to make xbox seem the better of the two.

I have owned the PS3 and 360 since launch so i have i slightly different view. The start of the 360 it had a good amount of games to play and it was always improving fast with games and online. The PS3 at the start of its life was a joke. Multi-plateform games and some exclusive games quality was just a joke, hardle any games came out and alot of the one that did where broken. Game like motorstor came out and was good but with half the content missing then they tried to sell you the other tracks andthat was just a joke. My 360 broke down and was away for two week for repair and during that time my PS3 sat there and done nothing as it never had any games out worth to play.

I dont care the 360 has a disk tray. I would have preffered the PS3 not to have a blu-ray player asmost games doesn't need that much space and it causes problem by having slower disk speed meaning that game had to install on the PS3 or the information just get repeated on the disk. If it didn't have a blu-ray then it would have kept cost down. I

The internet is handy feature.

The PSN EU store is not easy to use. If i want to see what demo are out i have to look through the whole list of games and pick out the demos. On the 360 i just have to go to demos. MS has a better online service and marketplace. (I live in UK so the PSN EU store is rubbish)

From the start of the consoles life until now i would say the 360 has been the better console. I would say that the PS3 has the edgecurrently.

Seems biased, just saying. I say this because to write that you don't need to have owned a 360.SaltyMeatballs

So a non-bias comparison includes opinions? I mean I find the Xbox Marketplace easier to navigate, no need for blu-ray yet, and don't really care how my game gets in my system.

If you are going to make a non bias comparison, you may not want to show personal preferences since that is not what a NON bias comparison is about.

I own neither but since I must submit to the logic and mentality of this thread I'd have to say, Wii has the best graphics.

I'm sick of the system war by now...seriously no one can decide if the ps3 or xbox360 is better? They each got pros and each got cons. People need to stop making it such a big deal :D

Finally, now System Wars is over!fenwickhotmail

and seriously how are you able actually make a comparison when you have like 3 games and have only had the console for a few days. All your statements are based on what people have said about the 360 being fragile, have you broken your xbox 360 already? anyway the fact you have to state that your thread isnt biased to reassure other people that its not just makes it biased you should GTFO and buy some icecream its good for you >_O!!!!!!!tehHaste

I'm assumimg this is in response to my query. And do you equally have a problem with Sony owning controlling interest in developers like Naughty Dog and Guerilla, making their games exclusive?

ur comparison is biased frm the first statement and talkin abt cars i would say the 360 is a mustang boss and the ps3 is a toyota corolla!!!ur statement is after a few days of owning a console and mine is after years of playing every great title on both the consoles..

It took me ages to get used to the 360 controller. I still prefer the PS3 controller though

This is bias, everything i bias. You say you had a ps3 from day 1, so you spend $600 on a console, instead of its rival which was cheaper and already had a good library. So by picking between the 2 , the ps3 was your prefrence. so this is biasedscottiescott238

[QUOTE="metalicelvis"] Well if i came on here and said, This is my comparison, everything here is fact. I'd have been shot down in flames. Comparisons all come down to opinion of the person. No need for blu-ray? What a ridiculous thing to say ofc there is, why do you think some 360 games have two disks? because the first cant hold everything... and I care how my game gets into the system, disk trays can be broken very easily.metalicelvis

[QUOTE="silverfire675"]

[QUOTE="metalicelvis"] I tried to stray away from "logic" and focused more on opinion. Although people like you seem to get the two mixed.metalicelvis

We should change this to Awesome Exclusives Wars.
