Question by suny d: gaming console what do you like better ps3 or xbox 360?
Overview of the Playstation 3 – What’s So Amazing? The big deal with the Playstation 3 is that it sports Sony’s new Cell Processor that was jointly developed by IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba Corporation. It also features a new graphics processor (RSX) co-developed by NVIDIA Corporation and SCEI, and XDR memory developed by Rambus Inc. To really rub it in, it also adopts BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc ROM) with maximum storage capacity of 54 GB (dual layer), enabling delivery of entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality, under a secure environment made possible through the most advanced copyright protection technology. To match the accelerating convergence of digital consumer electronics and computer technology, PS3 announced support for high quality display in resolution of 1080p in addition to 720p/1080i.
The computational power of the system itself sports the equivalent of 2 teraflops, meaning that entirely new graphical expressions that have never been seen before will become possible. In games, not only will movement of characters and objects be far more refined and realistic, but landscapes and virtual worlds can also be rendered in real-time, thereby elevating the freedom of graphics expression to levels not experienced in the past. Gamers will literally be able to dive into the realistic world seen in large screen movies and experience the excitement in real-time. If you saw the E3 video – real time game engines now look about as good as the Final Fantasy movie.
Overview of the Xbox 360 – First to Market and Media Center Dominance? While the Playstation 2 had a much beter presentation, giving consumers a really in-depth look at the software and hardware behind the name, Xbox chose instead to utilize the MTV venue for making its big announcement. Details were scarce and game footage, scarcer, but the Xbox 360 didn’t fail to impress those who managed to weed through the marketing hype and glean some interesting facts from the presentation. Microsoft is positioning the Xbox 360 console as the center of a digital connected home – providing much more than just game play. The way they are talking about it, it almost seems like it could even supplanting the Media Center PC. Powered by a custom-made IBM PowerPC-based three-core chip running at 3.2GHz, and supported by 512MB of GDDR3 RAM, the new Xbox has the raw processing power to deliver more than all but the most hot-rodded PCs can today. Video and graphics performance is powered by a new ATI GPU running at 500MHz, with 10MB of embedded DRAM. The Xbox 360 will ship with a 12X dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, no announcements for HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc integration has been inferred or announced. In addition it has three USB 2.0 ports, two memory unit slots (unspecified), and support for four wireless game controllers (unspecified whether Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11g). It supports progressive-scan DVD movies and nearly all DVD and CD formats with the notable exception of DVD-Audio and SACD. Users will be able to use the Xbox 360 as a “home base” for their digital media files and can rip MP3s to and from portable media devices or Windows XP PCs, as well as rip music to the Xbox’s detachable (and upgradable) 20GB hard drive. For networking, the Xbox 360 includes a built-in ethernet port and support for 802.11a, b, and g flavors of Wi-Fi. If Microsoft can position the Xbox 360 as a great gaming machine as well as an effective Media Center it may be on to something big.

Lets compare the two platforms below, paying attention to GPU and CPU specs as well as format and connectivity options and support.

Actually, with the Xbox 360 Elite, you’ll rarely ever get an Xbox that gets the red rings of death. I’ve also had my Xbox 360 for over two years now, before they came out with a new chip that reduces RRoD, and I haven’t had any problems.

Also, it’s pretty foolish to judge a console by how long it’s been around (if you were, Wii would win by far), or how good it’s GPU and CPU specs are. Judge it by the library of games that it has. You could have a game console that can produce the most beautiful graphics in the world, but it wouldn’t mean anything if there wasn’t any good games to play on it.

For me, I like the Xbox 360 better. It has a better library of exclusives with Halo, Gears, Mass Effect, and they own Rare, who just re-released Perfect Dark on the Xbox Live Arcade two days ago.
