Pro > Best games library, Xbox Live.
Con > Risk of 3RROD

Any other questions?

Pro > Jack Sparrow titles
Con > DVD medium, 3RROD (Though I doubt it'll appear on Jasper sets), small HDD, need to pay for XBOX LIVE (Online Gaming)

no webbrowser, i advice you to wait for the price drop to 299 dolars..

now theres 2 option for u with the same price

ps3 Slim is coming to malaysia eventually
and xbox elite 299

both are good

ps3 games a teeny weeny bit pricey

xbox games ( theres an option for u to mod it but you wont be able to play online )

RROD wont appear in jasper sets i doubt it, but 360 is known for having dvd reading issue

Modded or not, RROD will still occur, albeit much much less comparing to older versions... Lens issue, PS3 also has.

Seriously, if you are unwilling/incapable to spend thousands and thousands for games, you have only one option, no need to think much.

Xbox Live>>>>>>>>>>>PSN, with or without a fee.

And also depends on what game u want to play.

I think xbox 360 have all the variation of exclusive game that you can choose to play.From japan rpgs such as Infinite UnDiscovery, Lost Odissey,Last Remnant to action shooting game like Gears of War, Halo, Splinter Cell and more.

If you want to play MGS4 then you have to choose PS3.But fyi, MGS Rising and FF13 is coming to 360 also.

Con for xbox 360: too many holes there XD Sometime those insect like mosquito or fly ant... imagine, ugh ...

xbox live is the best!!

this is something to think about. the game on ps3 also coming to xbox.

xbox 360

pro>>easy to play with local and no lag at all

con>need to pay for it



ps3

pro>nice graphic and coming title

con>well u can read at every topic ps3 thread for online gaming...lots of lost connection

at least the graphics are better than ps3. COD WAW as example has much better textures than ps3 version. i don't think exclusive games like resistance 2 and killzone 2 has nice graphics. very coarse and rough textures. halo 3 for example has sharp and bright textures not to mention DOA4 even though it is launch title. i don't think there are ps3 games that have excellent textures like in DOA4.

ok. thanks guys. lets not talk about graphic, let us talk about games. how about it?

hmm...what of the games?

but hey here's an interesting question...which platform would you guys opt for if a game is released for both ps3 and 360? taking into account that you own both consoles...say...something like mw2?

Id pick pc over the consoles when it came to mw2 lol.. but since i own both it would have to come down to whether i would care about online play or not in a game .. say perhaps street fighter 4 id pick the ps3 version because i enjoy playing online but not so much till id wanna pay for it since im already spending a lot on games .. but it were single player based like say saints row 2 or gta 4 ... probably the 360 version cuz of better visual and sound quality usually .. but of course it also depends on extras such as DLC and the such .. Batman Arkham asylum id get the ps3 version cuz i rly wanna play as the joker lol ... oh yea on a side note thanks again for the ms points bro

Well, I will got for XBOX360 for following obvious reason:-

-Best game library on any generation of console

-Build your own game via XNA & sell it on XBOX LIVE without you to pay an insane sum of license fee. They called it Indie Games.

-Some exclusive addons or coverage for certain big title on XBOX LIVE

-Can use Windows Live Messenger on XBOX360

-Games are cheaper then PS3, and yes, I mean only original. I do respect intellectual properties.

-3 yrs General hardware failure error (3RRoD & E74)1 to 1 swap warranty.

-XBOX Dashboard getting better & better

-You just can't help yourself on coming-up big title

What impaired the XBOX360 experience:-

-It's not officially supported in Malaysia, anything you must email them to call you back OR for warranty claim, go singapore~!

-You need to pay for online gaming, although it worth the price but you'll compare it with Wii &/or PS3 subconciously.

-You might develope a phobia on 3RRoD if you ever get it.

-If your console hang when you playing a game, you might get pissed as compared to PS3 & Wii coz u'll wonder Uncle 3RRoD visit you.

-If you kena 3RRoD, you'll scream for help & waste money.

-You can't help yourself from keep paying overwhelming 1st class titles.

-U curse microsoft when you brought wrong region title, which will not happen on PS3

-U curse Microsoft for stupid restriction which keep you from donating your money to XBOX LIVE.

-U can't bring your Asian console & gamertag to other continent.

For the 3RRoD part, PS3's equivalent version is YLOD (Yellow Light Of Death) which is also on the wild. Sadly PS3 got only 1 year limited warranty and not 1 to 1 swap and it's officially supported in Malaysia.

about gaming online with modded xbox, i can confirm that
i tried gaming SF4 with my modded xbox LIVE for 2 month already... and nothing happens.. my xbox set is year 2006 punya..

From the initial buy-in console from the retail shop, the reasons are very apparent that the Sony's PS3 is a notch classier than Microsoft XBox 360.

Unpack and unwrap. When it comes to hooking up the gaming system, you
ll noticed what I've been through.

I have both consoles at home so I know what I'm talking here. No discriminations. No favouritisms in play What I've mentioned above is purely on experience that I've gone through.

Same goes to Graphical User Interface (GUI), yet again Sony PS3 win hands down. Sony's PS3 has a "corporate and clean designs" icons whereas Microsoft XBox 360 is a tad ermmm "cluttered and unclean designs"?

Regards, Joey

p.s: I'll post some comparisons from time to time.
