The PS3 is amazing. The 360 is no match for PS3. I have both systems because I'm from a family of 5 kids and 2 parents (Plus two dogs).So it's easy to compare. Anyway, everyone knows the fact that Xbox LIVE cost money and PSN doesn't for the same features.It's one of the biggest diffirences. That is what everyone thinks of when Xbox LIVE is mentioned (I think of how many diffirent video games we could've bought). This is my opinon, but the PS3 has way better exclusives. Uncharted 1 and 2,Little big Planet, all the Rachet and Clanks,MAG,the Gran Turismos, plus many more and the road up ahead. And lets not forget the features offline! The PS3 has Blu-Ray (Plus DVD's and CD's), it can hold music(you can put music to your PS3 from your ipod!),photos,demos,and more. Okay now for the 360's features. It can play movies, you can have wi-fi if you have the adapter for like 80 bucks (for the slim there is built in wi-fi),so all that I'm saying is if you are thinking about getting the Sony PS3 Or 360 elite (thats what i have),get the PS3. P.S My PSN ID is livinglife10

Worth the money
PostedJanuary 14, 2011
Before the PS3 I owned an xbox 360. Well after 2 years I got the 3 lights of death. Sent it to micro and they sent me a brand new one with 2 more years of warranty. Well, guess what 3 months out of warranty 3 lights of death again. Micro wanted 100.00 to fix it or send me another one with only a one year warranty. That was it I decided to get the PS3 and I am glad I did. I always was an xbox guy thought it was better, boy was I wrong. The PS3 has better graphics, games, controllers, and etc. Also, you don't have to pay 60.00 bucks to play online. The PS network is absolutely free, yeah player voice is not as good as xbox, but why would you want to pay 60.00 to hear someone clearly complaining about how someone is playing, camping, or cheating? That is the only difference I have found about online play and again you don't have to pay for it. I've had my PS3 for over a year now and guess what absolutely no problems with. Oh yeah, one more thing my PS3 is 10 times quieter than my xbox. To tell you the truth I can't even hear the thing running. My xbox on the other hand sound like jet taking off. I still have my xbox got it fixed cheap by somone who knows what they are doing, but to me it's a boat anchor. I let the kids play it cause I don't care if they break it. They have their system and I have mine. Maybe xbox fixed their problems with their new slim model, however, I'm not going to take that chance. I recommend you don't take that chance either. Buy a PS3 and save a lot of green in the long run. Thanks Sony for an awesome product.

PS3 vs 360
PostedDecember 30, 2010
The PS3 slim is a great system, but I love the 360 as well. Out of the box, the PS3 is better than the 360, because it comes with everything you need with none of the hassle. the wireless bluetooth controllers are perfect, and when your battery dies, just plug in play with the usb controller, unlike the 360, where you have to run your controller on batteries (out of the box... or you can purchase a wireless battery but thats more money) and other than the new 360 slims xbox 360 doesnt have wifi so again you have to pay more money if you want the wireless adapter. PS3 also has bluetooth which makes it better than the 360... if 360 had bluetooth then PS3 probably wouldnt even compare to the 360. PSN is nothing compared to Xbox Live, but the good thing is that PSN is free. Both systems have netflix, but with the PS3 you have to get the netflix disk (wich is free but has to be mailed to you) and netflix doesnt work unless the netflix disk is in the system, however with the 360 you dont need any disk you just select the netflix app and your good to go. Overall I love both systems, I have had 3 Xbox 360's (the Pro, the Elite, and the Halo 3 edition Elite) and all 3 have broke within less than a year, (tho due to rigorous gameplay) so after my last 360 broke I decided to buy the PS3 Slim, I have owned the slim since december of 09 and havent had ANY mechanical problems, so it beats the 360s that Ive owned before in life before death, and yes I play rigorously. I am about to buy the new Xbox 360 Slim because the major pro the 360 has over PS3 is you get achievement points... which blows any trophies out of the water. Hope this review helps, but I say buy both systems cuz there both bad@$$

This is what i think about the PS3 120 gig slim. Yes it is defintley smaller than the fat PS3's. I had an 80 gig PS3 but it would not eject my disk, so I decided to upgrade to the 120 gig. I have had this system since march of 2010 and have not had any major problems with it. Once in a while I will get a message saying that a problem occured during the startup operation, but it still plays fine. I really reconmend not to use the Internet Browser because it freezes up. But overall it is more reliable than the 360 and to me sony makes better games, that's just my opinon. So yes I reconmend the PS3 to people who like sony and the games they make.
