@26
28 said it all and I compared some games with my buddy who’s got Ps3 and his seemed like just brighter and there were no other differences and in some cases I’ve heard 360 has a better graphics too.
@24
where I bought mine,pretty much every 360 was chipped and it was part of the deal
I don’t know which mod they use
I bought it from IRAN it was cheaper too

one more thing,
now after playing with 360,you dont even wanna touch your ps2
that is sad for poor ps2 boy )

@28
Actually the PS3 is not “technically better” it just uses a different architecture to do its business the only “real advantage” it has over the 360 is it has more space on its BR drive i.e. 50gb. Nearly all games released thus far are nearly identically and in many cases the 360 has a slight edge. In time as developers gain experience with the PS3 hardware things may improve “slightly” but there’s not going to be some “ginormouss leap” from what’s out there now.It costs millions of £/$ to make games these days and devs need to release as many games a.s.a.p. to recoup their investments.

I suppose if you say something often enough people will start to believe it.

My advice is (for what it’s worth):-

If you are a “very casual” gamer buy a Wii.

If you like FPS and like playing with friends by a 360.

If want a Blueray player that (coincidently plays a few games) buy a PS3.

By the way I own all next gen consoles (including the Wii) so I’m being as objective as possible.

I do not play console games but in the last few years have owned a psx, ps2, psp game cube and a NDS. the reason for having a console is its specialty i.e., playing games anywhere you want when u want , and it is simple for non tech people to manage a console for example buying a new game and playing it. on a console u open the packaging insert the disc and there u go. on the other side u must install the game configure it and the either u may try to optimize it so that u get something similar to what u see on the packaging or u try to figure out why do u get the error every time u try to launch the game.

the reason why game developers prefer consoles is simply the costs. for a given console u have a single baasic config ( processor, resolution SDk etc) compared to unimagineable combination for a pc( processor, gr card, ram, resolution, OS, IO devices)

Technically the PS3 hardware is better than the 360 but way more games have been released on the 360 platform. The XBOX 360 is also cheaper than the PS3 which is why more people buy it. I think that its safe to say that by the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2008 we will see cheaper PS3 and more games coming out for them, thus more people will buy them. Thats when I’m going to buy my PS3 and enjoy awesome quality games. Its just like what happened with the PS2 and XBOX before the 360 came out, the PS2 had better graphics, was smaller, had less problems, and was obviously the clearer choice.

hmmmm k soo what do you think its better for a gamer a pc or a console ?? with today’s standards consoles are closing in towards pc technology the biggest advantage was that the games for a console were much more complete and didn’t need patches or any bug fixes etc. but things seem to change i hear about many games for consoles that will go through the path of patching and moding now with the online consoling
and what about piracy my fellow lechers ??? hahahahaaaa let us debate. :p

I have a 360 and I just download all my games from p2p and burn them with XBOX Backup Creator and ImgBurn. No need for modding or anything else. I’m not exactly considering buying a ps3 because the few games that are out for it, are most likely available for 360. Assansins Creed, COD 4, Rainbow Six Vegas are truly some of the best games I’ve played. Waiting for GTA IV to be released but not expecting much after San Andreas. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is going to be released in March 2008 so I’m waiting for that w00t

I think having a MacBook and a 360 is a good combination
Graphics in 360 are much better than PS3
you can get your 360 chipped and dont pay much for the games
get a 19′ LCD and connect both your MacBook and 360 to it and Enjoy
The Exam Period is coming and I’m screwed with all this fun )
btw, Assassin’s Creed is amazing game,experience it
