What is the difference between XBOX 360 and Playstation 3?

I am wondering what is the difference XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. In addition, are they going to addition blue-ray technology to the xbox 360?What is the difference between XBOX 360 and Playstation 3?
ps3 is better



NO WAY THEYRE NOT GONNA PUT BLU RAY IN XBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!



- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player



- ps3 has much more and better exclusives, most of them cant go to xbox 360 because it cant handle that many data(DVD- 8.5gb, blu-ray 50gb)



- online is free for ps3 not like 360



- ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring



- when developers get used to the system, the graphics will be WAY better than 360. should take them a year to get used to it



- playstation home is coming out this spring, its a virtual community where you can hang out with friends and customize your own apartment which xbox doesnt have(FREE)



- ps3 is a true HD console. xbox 360 upscale games to 1080p and ps3 DISPLAY games up to 1080p



- built in Wi-Fi



- xbox 360: 33% hardware failure

ps3: .2% hardware failure(see the decimal? less than 1%!)



- rumble returns in spring 2008



- you can upgrade your harddrive without voiding warranties with any 2.5 HDD, which xbox cant because you have to buy a xbox HDD

(they actually have the step by step on how to upgrade it on playstation.com)



those are the ones that i know right off my mind but there are much more reason than this



Prices as of today:

ps3- 80gb: $599

60gb: $499

xbox 360(premium)- $399 (if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 700 dollars)
PS3 over XBOX!!! SONN!

The 360 has better games but poor quality system. The PS3 is a good quality system but has less games.
xbox 360-

A: more list of games, more exclusives, better online, great online games, decent backward compatible, and put stuff on your hard drive.



D: half the genres are shooters, still can't play all xbox games, xbox live is not free, and techinal problems with red ring of death.





ps3-

A: decent list of games, cheapest blu ray player, good backward compatible, region free for ps3 games, good online games and free online without paying.



D: less exclusives, too expensive for a system, cannot play all ps1 and ps2 games yet, region locked for ps1 and ps2 games, and the online feel a little limited.What is the difference between XBOX 360 and Playstation 3?
This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it.



PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.



Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:



A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%.



PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.

PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.

Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second

Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second

PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.

Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.

PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers

Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers

PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)

Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $



Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 6800 Ultra nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 6800 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.



PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.



Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".



Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).

When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.



In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html...鈥?/a>



PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.



There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.



The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).



On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.



PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.



Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. Soon there is going to be cheaper 40GB version of PS3.



Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.



PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 controller is getting vibrocontroller soon (Dualshock 3).



On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.



New 40GB is coming with a lower prive between around 400$ and 400 euros (depends on the region).



I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
Xbox 360

+Good game library

+Good online

-Overheats easily 30% failure rate

-have to buy things like wifi adapter and HDDVD drive seperatly

-you have to pay for online



PS3

+Solid system that has a very low failure rate 0.2%

+more features like built in wifi and built in bluray

+online is free

-not alot of games out yet

-online doesnt have as much content as 360



No they are not adding bluray technology to the 360 it runs on DVDS. The 360 also plays HD DVDS but you have to buy a seperate drive.
There are many differences between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Go to both Microsoft and Sony's website and compare the differences.
Xbox 360 = Better games , Cheaper , built with better materials , when you use it feels better built (Which it is)



Ps3 = Expensive , Not built well , Gets so hot it can be used as a grill (Prov en by Sony)



SEE!
