Wich one do you think will be better, x box 360, or ps3. My opinion, x box 360.

[quadmaster88]

ok maybe im biast..........and i love the xbox way better than ps2 so im thinkin the 360 will be much better than the PS3 so.......





360

looking at the specs, the 360 will not hold a candle to the ps3...of course we don't know a price on the ps3 yet either so that could be a major factor in the end

:eek2: :eek2: so you tell me......... its gonna be like the xbox vs ps2... its gonna be close, the graphics might be the same but loading will be over 200% better and the only better thing PS3 has is its 7 controller capabilitie... you cant even link them up like the original xbox!

I'd go for the X box 360. Even tho i prolly won't be able to afford one.:(

[standardryder]

those blu-ray bd roms things that the ps3 uses, i think i heard that they hold like 4 times the space the regular ones do. i might be wrong though. i think im gonna get a ps3 when they come out just because i have a bunch of ps2 games that if i wanna play em i can, i plan on trading in my ps2.

[PunkA$$]

I've got a 360 on order. Just because it's the first one out.

I'll probably pick up a PS3 next spring as well depending on the price.

But in my opinion, the Revolution looks a little.....

[MOFO]

PS3 all the way.

[400ex28]

Xbox 360

[Quadman250R]

Going from the specs the PS3 will be better in most aspects. i have read up on both systems and they will both be a ton faster than the previous gen systems. the ps3s cores will be faster than the xboxs processor. Sony hyped up the ps2 also and they didnt do what they said so who knows till they come out

[Honda TRX250ex]

i kinda jelious of them because there faster than my computer and have better graphic :(

[Toadz400]

I doubt the PS3 system and video memory is only 256 mb, that's worse than my computer and my computer is old. I think those specs aren't up to date as to what Sony is releasing.

I've always been biased towards PlayStation and I have never liked any of the games the X-Box has had, even the Halo games weren't that great to me...what is the big deal with them? I had much more fun playing Killzone (or was it Killswitch? uhhh), it was a much more realistic game and better graphics. So obviously I'll be getting a PS3, but probably a year after it comes out (everyone knows it'll have bugs ha, yes I know it's sad...).

[Butters]

for me the xbox 360 is more desirable, although it most likely will not be better than the ps3.

[SGA]

I like Sony better because of the games they offer for it.
I'll get a PS3 when the price drops, prob about a year after it is released. My PS2 will do me just fine until then.

[Guy400]

I'll likely own both. I've already got money down on the X360 and I'll have to wait on pricing for the PS3. Some articles I've seen rumored pricing to be near $600 for the PS3. If any of that is true I'll mail Sony a spoon and they can eat my ***!

what is madden 06 gonna be like o nthe 360? there is no screenshots released or movies for it so I am thinking it will be the same madden 06 for the xbox, graphics and all. quite dissapointed :ermm:

I will own both, but ps3 will dominate specs wise.

[400ex28]

If you can get 7 people playing on one PS3 that would be horrible with 7 screens on the tv. 4 is bad enough.... plus i do a lot of LAN play so id have to go with the 360.

PS3!!!!

My uncle just gave me an XBOX with MX vs. ATV unleashed

But they dont have ATV offroad fury for xbox!!!!!! ATV offroad fury is the only game i like n they dont make it!

Any one wanna buy an xbox.. ill throw in atv vs mx unleashed :devil:
