andre04 August 2009

well.. as of 2009.. ps3 matches its online.. has more games.. more variety in games and more capable games and OMGILOVEPS3 im turning in a fanboy!!!

ADviewer05 August 2009

Dear andre... Absolute popycok! I own a xbox and have use my relitives ps3 extensifly but be no means nesecery dose the ps3 even come close to matching the xbox's online capability. Xbox has more games more choice at a lower price. Further more i would know all this because before buying my XBOX i reserched for 3 moths on all the pro's and cons with the xbox. I belive everyone has there opinion but i do say good fellow my opinion is of more truth than of yours. PS3 has its pros and cons just like the xbox but please DO NOT lie...it is quite rude you know

james14 August 2009

indeed 2009 ps3 way better the hd graphics is not true (the xbox has good graphics though) the xbox is cheaper but made out of rubbish plastic and always overheats. Many people have had to take their xbox back because of the 'circle of doom!' altogether ps3 is in a different league.

Stevoid200515 August 2009

I have the elite and its the best console ever made its reliable fast fun and i have never had any overheating issues i have even had it on 3 days straight playing oblivion and i had no proplems i think its just if you have it well ventalated you will have no problems

bryce parsons18 August 2009

the ps3 is the better now, from 2009 all new titles have come out and online is no different then on the xbox there the same and all in all i have an xbox 360, ps3 and wii and only the wii is different. all im saying is that the ps3 and xbox 360 are the same so stop fighting about them, there is only small different things about each and i meen only small things ie. game titles.

scott hannah22 August 2009

I had the PS3 & i done a swap for the Xbox360 cos theres more choice of games for the Xbox360. im well happy with it 10 outa 10 for me !!!

iTz_M477Y_x24 August 2009

I have one of these also the few faults to me are that the GPU is in the worst place (meaning it will overheat easily) secondly wheres the internet access? The PS3 connected very easyily to my router and let me use there version of Internet Explorer and i could easily browse through the WWW. The Xbox360 how ever didn't connect 'AS' easily sayin NAT Problems etc and i cant even browse the web. LIVE/PS3 Network does cost considerably more (£40*) whereas the PS3 Network is FREE. Even though this makes it look bad i prefer the Xbox360 as it was alot cheaper when i got it and still is!

mmurdoch25 August 2009

way way better than the PS3 but that dam overheating, Artic paste works wonders

Ashley Newman29 August 2009

I agree with everything with this reveiw a part from the graphic part, the PS3 has way better graphic, all you have to look at is Killzone 2, the up coming game God of War 3, and the lara indiana hybrid Uncharted. Plus the one of the best graphical games on 360 base on fans opinions is Gears 2, which i might point out it cant do proper widescreen which is the flaw with the unreal3 engine and is also use in unreal tourment 3 which is also on the PS3 You could have add more to the bad points with the ms points and also the online fees Plus also if you want to store music on the 360 you have to Rip them of the disc, which is why the PS3 is better at the media side of things. I might point out that saying the 360 has better games selection is opinion base then facts. What is you think is the best game could be different to mine the good point is that the 360 is easy for devs to program which means that when it comes to mutiplatorm games 360 will have better quaility, all this means is that devs have to work harder to get a PS3 game to look the same in mutiplatform games, so it up to the devs if they want to put in that extra effort.

Rokshan2511601 September 2009

Xbox 360 is really good I have one but PS3 is better

alsonjohn03 September 2009

this is my third time replacing me xbox 360 because of red ring of death, dammm i hate it i wanna spend more money on ps3 slim thats way better than xbox

ThomasThaTank05 September 2009

Two things are misleading. It says that it has better graphics than PS3, this is incorrect. Try comparing exclusive games graphics on the two consoles like Gears of war 2 to Killzone 2 or Metal gear solid 4 to Dead rising, PS3 games are substantially better graphically. It also says that for die hard gaming fans it is the better console when in fact it has far less notable game titles than PS3. Xbox has Halo 3, Halo wars, Gears or war 2, Dead rising and Dead rising 2 whereas PS3 has Killzone 2, Metal Gear solid 4, Resident Evil 5, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm Pacific rift, Motorstorm, Gran Turismo 5, Infamous, Prototype, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance 2. Please update your review.

ThomasThaTank05 September 2009

Oh yeah I forgot Uncharted 2 and God of war 3 on PS3 lol.

jimmyd11707 September 2009

the 360 is the best the only thing not 100 persent xbox compatble

Packets8908 September 2009

This is partly in reply to ThomasThaTank, i think u need to update your comment as your clearly dont have a clue about the xbox360 games as what uve listed as PS3 games isnt all that true, 1. Xbox is getting the new metal gear release so thats not now only ps3, 2. res5 has been out on 360 since the game was released....seeing as i have it lmao where u got that from i have no idea.....Prototype has also been on xbox since its release (or very shortly after) my good mate has had it now for a while for his 360. But even though ive had my xbox for just over two years now with absolutly no faults what so ever a number of my friends have had to replace their 360 consoles sue to the infamous red rings which is the one plus i give to the ps3, and another point i had to agree from another persons comments are that the MS points for the 360 are a joke, paying a small fee for the internet i do not like that much but u cannot cpmplain at all for the reliabltily side of it, im not sure if the ps3 has many/any downfalls when it comes to its internet. and to cap it off with my love for the 360 in my opinion i feel that the ps3 slim is just another marketing joke set out by sony to reel in some more money from there ever faithul market.

tricky199416 September 2009

ithink xbox 360s are brill but in only have a basic system but yes its awsome online and off

Gary Paxton18 September 2009

I'm now on my 3rd 360, replaced under 3-year warranty (on it's way, not got it yet). First one ate 4 games at about £40 a time, leaving circular scores on them. Now have had 3 red lights of death ! 360 deserves only two "G rating" because of reliability !!!

ChadJon22 September 2009

I've mentioned in the PS3 section that i own all the current consoles and again, I will reiterate, I dont want to start a 'mine is better than yours' battle but I would stress that my opinion is that the 360 definately outclasses the PS3 currently. I am not going to rely on 'has beens' and what might happen in the future. In reality the online service for the 360, whilst costing a small fee, is far superior to the free PS3 online service. Microsoft really have this area cracked, it is unsurpassed. The GUI/dashboard is far better to traverse and navigate, in that it makes more sense, things are grouped together more effectively. Loading times from DVD are far better than Blu-ray and grphically, i dont think there is much to argue about. Both machines are capable of amazing graphics. Of course games made specifically for each machine will harness each formats strengths and unique capabilities and are not really ideal for comparison purposes. Currently the 360 has such a huge catalogue of games there is almost too much to choose from, the PS3 has not. However, I do believe that the 360 is nearing it peak performance wise, the PS3 is far from it. i think the landscape will change over the coming years ! In the mean time I guess we should all be thankful for what we have and resist looking over the fence to make negative comments unless they are qualified.

Kiwifruit28 September 2009

The Xbox 360's Updates are way faster and closer than the PS3, and downloads, my cousin was downloading a CoD:WaW demo and it took about 3 hours i tried it on the xbox and it only took when hooked up by ethernet about 10 minutes, i deleted it completely form the hard drive and donwloaded it using wireless, it only took 15 minutes, a way faster time than the PS3, Microsoft points arent a joke its more helpful for people that dont have a credit card. Also, i think the Xbox is on its way too getting an internet browser as were all ready getting Facebook, Twitter, Last F.M, And SKY Player. Abou the Game ring scratch the only way that can occur is if your Xbox is stood up vertically and if its gets knocked or wobbled same with RROD theres less chnce of it getting the RROD if its Horizontal as more Ventilation fans are open.

christopher29 September 2009

well this ps3 v 360 dabate will go on forever but heres my contribution...the xbox 360 is now fixed with no overheat problems. it is a bit loud at times but doesnt struggle to match the ps3 in gaming experience.the online is a more pleasent exeperience and i find that more people at skool and friend are on xbox. a lot of the epic titles are on it and for the money its a bargain!!!!the ps3 isnt rubbish just not as good for a whole gaming experience.thats my opinion and and respect it as i do yours.

padraig smith10 October 2009

totaly love xbox halo 3 is leaful on it best grapikes around by the way love gaget show never miss it:D:D:D:D:D

Stuntman70724 October 2009

If the ps3 is better than the xbox why does the psp go cost more than an xbox and nearly as much as a ps3? If the ps3's best features are full HD and Blu-Ray support, the psp go does not have as powerful hardware as a ps3. How is the price justified? The xbox has all exclusive uk gaming news on inside xbox etc. as apposed to the ps3 network which does not have uk reporters. Also there are first exclusives for the xbox like MW2 map packs to be released on 360 before ps3. Finally once paired with media centre on a windows 7 computer, you have a great media hub. *Ahem, can I also add facebook, twitter, and sky integration comming very soon? It's an all round entertainment, social, tv, news and gaming hub and thats why I prefer it.

paul sherwood24 October 2009

Pros for XBOX. I like XBox live, ease of use, online speed and Xbox community. I use my XBox to watch DVD's sometimes. Demos download fast. I have had NO mechanical problems in 2 years. Unike some people, I don't play online for 6 - 8 hours non stop (remember this a console, not a £1000 + Alienware Gaming PC). Cons. Noisy cooling fans. no built in wireless. Xbox controller too heavy compared to my PS3 controller. Flimsy Door on front for USB Ports.You have to pay for XBox Live. (Free online gaming with PS3) Tried to contact Microsoft for billing problems and had to write to Customer Service when I didnt get a response. The official XBox Website not helpful at all. Would I buy another? Not until the next gen comes out. This console feels dated compared to PS3 Slim (quiet , blu ray and wireless)

Harry27 October 2009

I have an xbox plain and simple, an elite if you must now. And I have used my friends ps3 many times and I cannot understand how he says its the same! my xbox is in a different league! Sure its broken twice but I don't care its got 3 years warranty, I got another 2 years free and its back in a week with a months free gold subscription for the time its gone.

maxxie129 October 2009

i have one and i love it

mvunduk31 October 2009

it so coooooooooool!

Shawsypaul05 November 2009

Got both PS3 and the Xbox 360 and IMO 360 is a better games console but is let down by the ring of death which I have experienced twice.

Will Naylor16 November 2009

Hi my name Is will and I'm a big fan of the gadget show Jason your my favourite and your so funny. I was just wondering as you are such a big gaming fan if you had xbox live and what types of games you like. I'm a call of duty player and I was wondering if you had any hints or tips I'm sure you are very busy but a reply would be appriciated yours sicerley will naylor

DNKY1207 December 2009

Xbox 360 is awesome, PS3 has superb graphics but i prefer the the 360 online gameplay and gaming in general it has its ups and downs but don't all consoles.

Cutelolly14 December 2009

No disrespect to any xbox fans but i just think that ps3 in terms of looks and graphics is amazing! However, i havent actually played the xbox before so I'm no expert!

James Davies15 December 2009

It's a pity that some of the message posters above didn't spend more than a fraction of the time they spend 'gaming', in learning some English spelling, grammar and punctuation. Then, maybe, their comments above would be intelligible - and useful to a prospective Xbox purchaser, such as myself! (a Welsh gadget freak).

BEST GAMING CONSOLE EVER.

BEST GAMING CONSOLE EVER.

Villanousfats21 January 2010

I prefer this to the ps3 (although the eighty odd quid repair bill I'm shelling out for is not so good). The selection of games appears to be better, or at least more suited to my tastes but the main thing I like about this console over the ps3 is the controler. It fits the hand better, or maby thats just me, and the control sticks have a positive feedback to them compared to the lighter ones on the ps3, which allows for more acurate control.

Benjo25 January 2010

I have both the xbox 360 and the ps3. The Xbox360 is definitely the better gaming machine, as it has the better exclusive games (only just though), better controllers, better online service and better graphics (Ps3's only display the actual games in 720p (check the back of the game boxes) whereas the xbox360 displays 1080p. I have both running through HDMI cables too!). The ps3 is soooo much quieter than the xbox360 which makes it better for watching films on and it feels better made, plus the menu system is better on the ps3. However I would still recommend the xbox 360 over the ps3, as it is the one console that I spend most of my time on (I have over 23,000 xp points).

M4RK25 January 2010

BTW ps3 is twice as powerfull and 2 times faster than the xbox 360 because it is a 2 teraflop console whilst the xbox 360 is only capable of 1 teraflops. As for graphics MGS4 is the best, xbox 360 has nearly maxed out. And xbox live is a ripoff u got to pay for lag lol, i have never experienced lag on my ps3 its a thing of the past.

XboxBadBoy02 February 2010

XBOX omg better games than ps3 i have 4! one elite and 3 premiums i own on xbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mummyjamie102 February 2010

ps3 draw with xbox360

M4RK02 February 2010

lol u find a better game on the xbox than uncharted 2

maximilian1403 February 2010

Mass effect, left 4 dead, forza motorsort, fable, halo, all better than uncharted 2 AND littlebigplanet

maximilian1403 February 2010

xbox has same sort of graphics even though sony had an extra year of development and uses a bluray player

M4RK04 February 2010

lol all of those games r nowhere near uncharted 2 gameplay wise or graphics. I buy the best graphical games and that led me to buying a ps3 plus uncharted 2 got 24 perfect reviews, and halo reach which has been stated by microsoft and bungie is using 100 percent of the 360s power and it looks like halo 3, so basically when i bought my 360 in 2007 i had already maxed it out lol. ps3 is twice as powerfull as the 360 cus it is a 2 teraflop console whilst the 360 is only 1.

aeagle1204 February 2010

well i own it now that i won the compotition woohoo good luck u guys

George06 February 2010

I have both Xbox 360 and PS3 and would reccomend the Xbox if you have broadband and want to have social gaming, if you haven't got broadband and just like the gadgets, get a PS3. Final words: GET AT XBOX 360. GET IT NOW!

M4RK06 February 2010

MGS4 kills every other game ever made

24bit_192khz_11 February 2010

xBox 360 Home media All In One box as the main center of our room. Film, games music. e.c.t. Games of course have done well. Films. are some what slow. The choice is so what limited and the value for down loads is still over priced. Much ! cheaper to join a DVD rental and rent a film. Rental works out to be £1.00 a film per month with the top package. Yet the xBox 360 are asking for around £5...£6 per HD film/ WHY!!!!. Music. I have down loaded quite a lot of CD's to my xBox 360, but feel let down by the limited menu and the overall qaulity from the xBox. sound. The menu is still a complete waste of time and the sound is shame full if that.. I wish xBox 360 staff could for 2 months use the xBox 360 to play down loaded CD's too. I am sure that they would come to the same results as me...

M4RK15 February 2010

maxamillion get ur facts right before posting please, xbox 360 came out a year before ps3

ilovesgadgets16 February 2010

how much is it???

Cammy22 February 2010

Im not the person who fights over wich is beter but i personally think that the PS3 is better because it has better graphics, better games, and has free online play aswell as you are paying alot more its worth it in the end because it looks better and IS better and there is no arguing about that!!

capitalginger723 February 2010

xbox is the best peice of kit for a great online gaming experience its cheaper than the ps3 which has jus copied the xbox including its new controller the triggers have always been a exclusive xbox perk. The xbox is also alot better than the WII because of better graphics and can also play dvds were the WII cannot there are also alot of gr8 apps on the xbox such as facebook, twitter, last FM were you can listen to any of your favourite artists altogether a gr8 peice of kit!!

josh atkinson08 March 2010

i am fed up with u xbox noobs god none of you can actualy play also the xbox costs alot more than the ps3 over the years also if u want it to match u will have to get a blueray player for £200

sallyt12310 March 2010

ashley199610 March 2010

Simon Graham15 March 2010

Judging by the incredibly shoddy punctuation, grammar and spelling of some of the comments above I can pretty much guess the age range of the people posting... Therefore you're probably all too young to appreciate that there has ALWAYS been tit-for-tatting in the world of consoles and personal computers: ZX Spectrum vs Commodore 64, Atari ST vs Amiga, Nintendo vs Sega Genesis to name but a few. The point is, each console has their own positives and negatives. I personally own a 360 and I love it. It's not just a gaming console, I can stream my entire music and HD movie collection from my Windows 7 PC, I can watch Sky Player, I can tweet, I can get the latest game demos and access a huge range of arcade games. Frankly, it's the hub of my home entertainment and I wouldn't be without it... Not too bad for a 37 year old! As far as the PS3 is concerned, you can do pretty much the same things as I've mentioned above, barring the odd feature such as Sky Player. So we're down to graphics and gaming support as the key deciding factors on which console to get. Check out this http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6162742/index.html to compare graphics directly (roll over the 360 images to get the PS3 version) and make up your own mind. Personally, I'd always recommend a 360, partly due to price and connectivity to Windows 7 (Microsoft make both don't they?!) but mainly due to Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, epic multiplayer and a fantastic laugh split screen with a mate. Oh, and Project Natal is coming too....
