Why do people insist that 360 is better.?

Question

Even with all the facts that prove that the PS3 is better in both Hardware and Software, why do people still insist that X-Box 360 is better?

Just so I don't get any responses saying "Let's see the facts" I'll list them:

1.No cost for good internet!:
-I've played online several times, no lag at all, no problems, the internet is never down, and is always reliable. Plus the Playstation store loads instantly, and downloads are quick.

2.Better/More memory:
-360 games are printed on 9G DVD's, PS3 games are printed on 50G Bluray Discs, not only are Bluray discs better in terms of storage, but they are more indestructible(they can withstand several smudges and scratches and still work perfectly), plus Bluray Discs will replace DVD's in a matter of 1 to 2 years.

3.Cheaper console:
-While X-box is labeled at $300, which seems like a $100 save, the hidden costs can add up to a lot more! firstly it is $100 extra just to connect it to the internet(not everyone has a computer right next to their console), plus it's $50 a year for X-box live(which adds up to at least $450, and that's without any games!

4.More reliable:
-The X-box 360 gets the Red Ring of Death/Dies at least once every three years(very occasionally does it not), PS3? no, because a console that was made to last for 10 years doesn't have that kind of problem.

5.Sharable PSN games:
-if you download a game, or if your friend downloads a game, you can both have it, only one of you has to pay for it, up to five people can have one paid for game!

6.Easy Charge controllers!
you can charge the controllers using your computer or PS3 console(the charge cord connects via USB. with X-box 360, you either have to continuously change the batteries or pay extra for a charging station. You don't have to waste extra money on Chargers or Betteries, like you would with teh X-box.

7.Blue-tooth!
-almost all of the acessories are blue-tooth, which means they are all connected through wi-fi, so none of them need any extra mumbo jumbo to work.

8.More/Better DLC:
ie: Rock Band 2 is coming out for PS3 a month after it does for X-box, however PS3 is getting 20 Free downloadable songs in return!

9.The acessories for PS3 are cheaper!
-Wireless headset:
360: $60
PS3: $40-$50
-Media Remote:
360 $20(DVD only)
PS3 $25(DVD, BD, Menu, etc.)
-New Controller:
360 $50+(Cost of batteries)x
PS3 $55(rechargable, plus Dualshock, and Sixaxis)

10.Better games:
-Okay, I know I'm gonna get some skeptics here, but listen! Heavenly Sword, Soul Callibur 4(with Darth Vader!), Dark Sector, Disgaea 3, of the ones that are out. and LittleBigPlanet, Mirrors Edge, Valkyria Chronicles, White Knight Chronicles, Bioshock(1-3), Kingdom Hearts 3, and a bunch more games are coming soon. If you think about it all X-box has is Gears of War, Halo, and Fable, and frankly, aside from Fable, those games are pretty mediocre.(in my opinion of course)

So please(X-box fanboys) explain to me why you choose the worse of the two consoles, when facts for facts, PS3 is better.

Answer 1

because they are a bunch of physopaths!

microsoft has brain washed them!! ****those loosers***





*********PS3 4 LIFE*********

Answer 2

both are good, its the fanboys who suck

Answer 3

1.) Speed is determined by your location or provider. Rarely, Microsoft shuts down XBL to update/upgrade it. They give PLENTY of notice before hand.



2.) DVD's are fine for games. Take good care of things and they will also be indestructible. Trust me, Blu-Ray is not the format of the futre, it's on it's way out. We'll see much bigger and better things in 1-2 years.



3.) 360's are cheaper than a PS3. In fact, if you're good at finding deals, you can get one for half the price of a PS3.



4.) The problems with the 360 have been well documented. But, Microsoft has been good with this, you can get a replacement console.



5.) Honestly, I haven't heard of shareable games for the PS3. If you're correct (you probably are), then the PS3 does have an advantage in this area.



6.) I assume here that you're talking about the wireless controllers, since they are the ones that need to have an energy source. Some good rechargeable batteries would be a good investment.



7.) This doesn't even make any sense. Bluetooth is not related to wifi in any way. Furthermore, bluetooth is one of the most fragile and unsecure connections out there.



8.) That's an arguable point depending your preferences. There is A LOT of downloadable content for XBL, more than for the PS3.



9.) The cheaper PS3 accessories are more of a compensation for the expensive console. 360 accessories cost more because the console costs less.



10.) That's more of a preference issue. However, the majority of people still believe the XBox 360 has superior games when compared to the PS3.



I'm not a fanboy of any console, just pointing out the facts.

Answer 4

inspite of the actuality that i'm an avid xbox participant i will confess the PS3 does have extra effective pictures via its stunning blue LAZER. however the element is maximum multi-platform video games (COD, FinalFantasy, wtv) are made for the xbox (XNA is da bomb) and then translated to the PS3 so on those video games the pictures are the two the comparable or extra effective on xbox. Xbox does have one considerable difficulty with its pictures being the cost at which it plenty its textures, for reasons unknown to me. element is there exceptionally plenty the comparable.

Answer 5

Some of the games you mentioned are multiplat (Mirrors Edge, Disgaea 3 and Bioshock) and second, can't you be happy with what you've bought (I assume you have a PS3 from your question) instead of trying to convince people that you bought the better thing. Now to the question.



1. Disagree with you there. PSN tries to live up to XBOX Live (in game XMB, trophies, in game music and even HOME were all brought in to try and outdo LIVE showing LIVE still is the better service even if it's paid for and PSN is free). PSN still hasn't managed despite the fact the two services are the same age (PS2 had access to online play)



2. You know what they're doing with all that 50GB? Multiplying data so load times are faster and you still have to install games (using time and hard disc space), so in reality you can have what essentially fits on a DVD (with some compression of course) copied a thousand times just to fix load times. DVD9 has no such problem.



The only PS3 games to not do that (that I know off) are MGS4 and Ratchet and Clank Future Tools.



3. I agree although none of the accessories are entirely necessary. You can choose to buy them or not buy them at all.



4.Agreed.



5. Shows how smart Sony are. They're losing money. Nice idea though, I'd like something like that on XBL.



6. With built in batteries you lose the wireless feature when you need to charge. What happens if the battery dies completely? The whole controller is ruined and needs throwing out. With a removable battery or charging station like on 360 you can play while you have another charging, battery runs out, swap the two over with no cables (keeping your wireless ability in the process).



Plus on XBOX there's the Play and Charge Kit: Just Like the USB method of charging on PS3 and there's a quick charge. £15 you get a rechargable battery and the charger so there're multiple ways of powering the control (standard AA or rechargable)



7. Bluetooth is just IR (only more expensive). The 360 uses IR and doesn't need any extra mumbo jumbo (it works out the box, literally). Bluetooth and IR do the same job, no need for extra things with either.



8. Wrong. Those 20 downloadable songs will probaby show up on XBL and XBOX gets the game sooner.



9. I don't know about the prices of PS3 accessories but I'll agree MS overprice their accessories for 360.



10. I'm not entirely sure there, although apart from MGS4, Future Tools what else has PS3 got that's already out (and doesn't suck).

360's got quite a few games in it's library that are high scorers (Bioshock included, started on 360), look at the 2007 games list.



PS3 is better in some areas and 360 in others. But where it mattered (Games, online, initial cost) PS3 just didn't cut it (even with its more powerful hardware). It had too few games to justify its price tag and the online was appalling, so 360 sold more, leading to 360 having its dominant position now. Sony promised things they couldn't deliver or took a long, long, time to

Answer 6

The numbers don't lie, just last month alone xbox outsold ps3 by 214%!! go to www.n4g.com if you don't believe me. PS3 is a good machine but they didn't stand a chance against Microsoft

Answer 7

I'm a 360 owner and I'm gonna tell you why Xbox is better than Playstation. But before I say anything I will admit that the Playstation is a better machine than the Xbox. The PS3 has more hardware power, is more reliable, etc.That is an indisputable fact. However, 360 owners(in general) think the 360 surpasses the PS3 in areas that are open to opinions. Such as better community, games, DLC, etc. I am not a fanboy but I personally believe the 360 is better than the PS3. I have to challenge some things that you have said. Games often have more DLC on LIVE than they do on PSN.(ex: Fallout 3) Also the 360 has more exclusive games than the PS3(fact). Many people also believe the exclusives are better.(You wont be playing Fable 2, Gears of War 2, or Left 4 Dead). And some of the games you mentioned can be played on the 360.(Mirrors Edge, Bioshock(2007), Soul Calibur 4, Dark Sector). There is no right answer to which system is better. People will always argue with everything. You bought the PS3 because you thought it was the best next-gen system and that's the same reason why I bought the 360. There will never be a concenus #1 video game system. Everyone has different opinions.

Answer 8

1 ya internet beter on psn lol dude my friend 3 houses up has ps3 and oo i know the truth lol so i suggest u play 360 online before u judge on that part

Answer 9

hey i think ps3 is better.yesterday,sept.30 my 360 got e74 error.

SO scr3w microsoft and sony is the best.pd3 is the best no doubt

Answer 10

here lemme put it this way, when you are using a console u use it for playing video games, right now the xbox 360 has way more games than the ps3 and alot more better exclusives coming out ie fable 2 Halo wars mass effect 2 gears of war 2, now the 360 is cheaper but thats because it dosent have as much technological hardware as the ps3 does (blue ray player wi fi or w/.e). so what you got to really as your self is this, will i really use my blue ray player (which in fact is pointless if u dont have a High def tv), now lets go to ONLINE game play True the PS3 might be free but Xbox live is a much more better and any ps3 fan boy can admit to that, yes u have to pay but wow 50dollars a year is nothing. Lets look at the video games u posted how many of them games will u actually buy, its 1 thing naminig them but what u like is a different story. Soul calibur 4 is out on xbox 360 aswell (u get Yoda in him), heavenly sword was really bad and half the games their are terrible aswell beside Kingdom hearts o and Bio shock is on the xbox 360 aswell.



But beside all of this what i wrote in the end its all down to personal prefrence



Hope i helped :D

Answer 11

because the Xbox Live community has a huge fan base and unlike PS3 most xbox live updates do not result in hardware or software failure such as the PS3 is prone to. I have all three systems but not all my friends do most of them have 360 because it was much cheaper at the time and they still don't want a PS3 because hardware wise it is more expensive.

Answer 12

1. our Free internet service also will include Home.



2. you may want to add stuff like this - http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/16/id-cuts-made-to-all-versions-of-rage-for-xbox-360s-sake/

so Blu-Ray isnt jsut for the films, but the space requirmnets too of modern games.



9. My 320gb HDD for Ps3 - £55, a 120gb ( largest you cna get comapred to nearly 1TB on Ps3) is £80 for 360.



10. - you missed Uncharted, Oblivion GOTY(it has better grapihics ie longer draw distance, better res textures) n MGS4, n Resitance, n Gran Turismo, Wipout HD, n Fat Princess, n Final Fantasy XIII, Verus XIII, Infamous, etc, as well as the cross paltform stuff, though i will agree on Fable 2, my mates lendign my his 360 so i can paly it :D.



11. Ps3 saves lives both with the Folding@Home/Life With Palystaiton app, which genreates the highest WU'c and collectively give 1Petaflop of power, which is huge.

And cos the PS3 Cell chip is used in the IBM Roadrunner (worlds fastest, first to break Petaflop barrier) and soon in Graphichs cards n in some Toshiba laptops n upscaling DVD players.







However in defence my mates all got theires befroe the PS3 even reached our shores (in UK so had late sales cos of that Blu-Ray lens stock problem) so didnt have much choice.

Also the prospective 360 owners will probably measure up the features by the number that comes after the £ or $ sign. Especially in the current economic situation. though tehy'll soon learn the 360 does have added cost on it.

Answer 13

They all have their perks take it from me because i own all of them and quite frankly they all are good in their ways i dont think they are better of each other but some do have software and hardware advantages



Halo is not that fun and if ps3 made a halo game by the same developer bungie(THEY ARE NOT THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!DO NOT START A RUMOR!!!!) it could be ten times better on blu-ray due to all of the memory advantages the graphics can run a higher framerate and more material/data can be transferred on the disc rather than the xbox 360

Answer 14

i don't own a 360 nor ps3 or wii.but i am dying for a 80gb ps3!!! i totally agree with u 100% that ps3 is a better system.they just say 360 is better because they can't afford a ps3.dude u are right

Answer 15

halo 3, gears/2, bioshock, bomberman live, cloning clyde, halo 2, idk bout hooking up ur ps3 to ur computer & listen 2 music watch vids/pics but you can do it w/xbox, xbox live is just awsm, they hav the XBOX EXPERIENCE, netflix.









it's so awesome that my mind would explode if i thought of any more reasons as to why the xbox is better than the ps3

Answer 16

It's called having a choice, idiot.

Answer 17

One word: Halo.
