This has defintately been an interesting thread. Funny how the true fanboys come out of hiding when they see something like this.

I plan on getting a X360, I still think the PS3 is better, but thats my opinion. the 360 craps on the PS3 in a lot of ways, just like the PS3 craps on the 360 in some as well. They each have their own things than make them own.

Wish someone could just take the awesomeness of two systems, well all THREE systems, and make them into the one console to rule them all.

And I have nothing to say about the Wii, getting one seems to be impossible.

I am a Sony fanboy, so there is no doubt going to be bias in this. I will try to cut down on it.

Design

I don't have to say much here, its pretty self-explanatory. Comparing the design of the PS3 vs. the X360 is like comparing my Blackberry to a cheap go-phone. Aesthetically speaking, the PS3 wins hands down. What makes this thing so damn sexy is how simple it is. Hidden drive bay, glossy black finish (even though the fingerprints make it look as if Sherlock Holmes was looking for clues on it) and the absence of any buttons, perfect! I really feel like the PS3, just by looking at it, is a Next-Generation console.

Games

Now before you spaz out and go "but the X360 out numberes the PS3 in terms of games like 10-1!11!!", hear me out. I admit that the number of PS3 games out is somewhat unimpressive. What Sony lacks in the amount of games on its console, they make up with ones that will be out soon. You're right, that doesn't help us now, but like I stated earlier, I'm a fanboy, and I can wait. Metal Gear Solid 4 (plus however many more Kojima decides to grace us with), Metal Gear Solid online, Little Big Planet, Home, DiRT (yes I know its also on the X360, but it will look better and play better on my beloved console), LocoRoco Cocorrecho, Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy! I know I left some good ones out, but you get my point.

Usability

This right here is what sealed the deal for me with the PS3. Usibility, I loaded up Yellowdog Linux onto my PS3 and instantly had cell-powered linux machine. I used it for work, internet, e-mail, school etc etc. If the general public were just educated a little better on the uses of this powerful machine, the X360 would be crying. So when I had linux on my PS3, I also had a sweet Home Theater PC at my disposal.

Media. Why would ANYONE want to have to buy an extra $180 peripheral/drive to watch hi-definition media on a "next-generation" console? It blows my fraking mind.

Upgrading. Can you even upgrade the X360 hard-drive, I never found out. Can you upgrade the PS3 hard-drive? Hell yes you can, and its SO simple.

  1. Take out old drive
  2. Replace with new, larger, higher RPM drive
  3. Let the PS3 format it for you.

Bam, your done! You can even buy a mod. You can also buy External HDDs to use as your main HDD. Team Xecuter even released a mod that allows you to use regular PC HDDs externally, and then switch freely between the two.

I will be the first to admin that the X360 has some things on the PS3, such as an online community and how they handle it. I believe Sony has realized that, and it won't be long until the gap is closed
