Whats better xbox360 or a ps3?
Answers: xbox360
This is my cut and bond answer. The reason for i.e. because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below). Also this examine is so often!
PS3 will win the console period of war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so insipid from technological point of prospect, that in couple of years they won't be dexterous of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be capable of cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the hobby is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained just about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.
Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:
1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is solitary around 0.2%. Despite some people influence, that new 360 have no breakdown issues - just call round Xbox section of CEQnA.com and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 have 8 (7+1) kernels contained by Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the adjectives - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to draw from HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this baggage Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full medium support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 have USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). From the first logical sight - graphics are stronger contained by 360 (it has a stronger graphics chip - Xenos), BUT PS3 can use it's Cell CPU for graphics too, which give you better graphics in total. PS3 uses a weaker RSX chip, that be developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics, because 360 has a video chip beside totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. Xbox isn't that multi-use in dividing tasks between CPU and GPU as PS3. That's why PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the hobby same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This entry is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such entity in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely specified for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated well. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop near no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melt, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries nation call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides adjectives of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive bore (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, pious cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - inventive system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the devout link to the adjectives PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to retribution.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratch discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest article, that right now near are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will have need of more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially let you do it. There is no such thing within 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily near any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you hold to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the flea market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduce price now. There is a cheaper 40GB journal of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get different functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - activity responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) within 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on public sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick relatives by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think more or less it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility next to PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's impossible to tell apart PS3, strong, reliable, less strident, different cooling system. The price is friendly.
23). But, to be just, I'm not a PS3 fanboy, so (despite I own one) hear this - PS3 games (exclusives) are severely hard to develop due to complicated Cell's architecture. We enjoy to wait till developers will integer out how to develop games properly. Sometimes multiplatform games run not so good on PS3 due to indistinguishable developing issues - it's hard for developers to acquire a grip on such advanced technologies.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so bland, no point to talk just about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
