What is better for my Circumstances: psp, xbox 360, ps3, wii?
Christmas is coming up soon and I probably need the cheapest…
However I can talk my parents into giving a little extra. I am looking for the most games, Preferably action and shooting/ racing. And any tips on the best place to get one would be nice.
Thank you

you are better off getting a ps3 because…
- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player
-ps3 supports 1.3 HDMI which has rich colors and xbox supports 1.2 HDMI
- 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)
- because of the blu-ray’s huge space, ps3 will have WAY better graphics than 360
- online is free for ps3 not like 360
- you can browse the internet on ps3, no such thing for xbox 360
- 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
- developers stated that they will start using ps3 as the lead platform and port ps3 games to xbox
- playstation home, 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%!)
- ps3 has better back-comp except the 40gb
- 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
Now I want you to do me a favor, list all the reasons why xbox is better than ps3. I PROMISE you that nobody will get at least 5 reasons
Prices as of today:
160gb ps3 $499.99 with uncharted drakes fortune
80gb: $399
xbox 360(premium)- $299.99
(elite)- $399.99
if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 650 dollars, so that means ps3 is actually cheaper
Let’s compare PS3 and XBOX 360:
1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues – just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future – up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 – regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It’s possible to get HD-DVD (max. – 30GB) for 360, but it’ll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec – PS3 – 51-billion-dot-product-operati… per second
Xbox 360 – 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera… per second
5). 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.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 – up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 – wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 – wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It’s difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360′s exclusives.
9). 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$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called “red ring of death” problem – it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That’s why in some countries people call Xbox 360 “Coffin 360″.
11). Besides all of this, I’ve seen disassembled Xbox 360 – regular PC architecture – Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 – it was a surprise – smart architecture, good cooling (don’t buy external PS3 coolers – they make everything worse – original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html……
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 – you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5″ SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 80GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) – you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control – you move controller – game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 – doesn’t. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On http://www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn’t even think about it.
22).New 80GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) – it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it’s the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly. And one more thing the ps3 is way nicer!!!!

well lets look at rpos and cons:
Ps3:
Pros-
Blu-Ray discs makes it possible to save you accounts to the game insted of a memory card
Good, brighter graphics
Cons-
Lack of exclusive games
Blu-Ray makes games load longer because all the information is stored in one part of the disc, making it take longer fot the disc to be read.
Wii:
Good exclusive games
New interactive gaming is fun and gives you a good workout! Like they say ‘Playing is Beliving’
Cons-
Bad graphics make games seem less real
shooting games are hard to play, even if you have the gun attachment.
Online play is not very good because you cant talk to anyone without WiiSpeak, witch doesnt come with the system and it only works on some games.
Xbox 360:
Pros-
Great exclusives like Halo 3 Gears of War 1&2 and Bioshock
Only $200
HD graphics
Best overall online play
Cons-
A monthly fee for XBox Live
PSP-
Best Portibles Game system
9 hour battery
New PSP has a HD screen
Cons-
Can get easy boring
Like all portable systems, consules are better with graphics and games
And the drum roll PLEASE!
*XBox 360*
Because:
1. It has the best exclusive games
2. the cheapest consule out their
3. Best online gameplay
4. Even though it has a monthly subscription for Live, lets do some math. Wii= $250 XBox=$200 250-200=50/6=8 months of subscription.
Ps3=$500 500-200=300/6=50 months of Xbox Live.
I hope this helped.

well 360 has the most games and better shooters, Ps3 has a nice amount of games and same good exclusives. Wii is a great system to own, but not alot of shooting games and the racing games are not that goo in my opinion. the wii has a nice controler for shooters. It has World at war, Resident evil 4, resident evil umbrella chronicals, and Metriod Prime 3. So i would say either a 360 or wii. I have a Wii and the shooters for it are awesome, exspecially Re4. But you would probably want 360, if you get a 360 make sure to get left 4 dead.Don’t even bother with a PsP.
PS3=400 80g harddrive
360= 199.99 you need to buy a memory card, couple of little game
Wii= 249.99 built in memory wii sports

The wii is good if u ike to play with ur family, the 360 and the PS3 are the best bet. The problem with the 360 is that it has a high failure rate, so it might break on u. 20-25% so. plus with all the stuff that u have to buy to make it have the same cost more. Xbox live, and all the batteries. If u do get the 360, dont get the arcade get the other version, because the arcade doesnt come with much. So for about 100$ more, u can get an 80-gig PS3 with a game and movie.
29 Apr 2010, 8:37 pm
Well since it seems like u like violence and the ps3 and xbox 360 is moslty shooting/racing/violence. the wii is all family stuff, psp is both
29 Apr 2010, 7:42 pm
You want shooters, so the wii is dead for you… racing, well it’s either PS3 or xBox 360 now. I would get the 360 because it cost’s less, and has a better online experience.

the PSP is crap, the wii has games for 10 year olds, if you are looking for some nice gaming, go for the xbox 360, or ps3, the wii is not suited for you, the only game that is good on the wii is super smash bros brawl, xbox360 has the best games in my opinion, and ps3 has some nice things to it too…
